Blood-Stained Shirt Gives De
tectives Clew in Wolff
Murder Case.
JOHN DOE WARRANT OUT
Authorities Feel Certain Mystery Is
Solved Expect Arrest of Guilty
Man at Any Moment Is
Thought to Be in.City.
Arrest of the thug who butchered Na
than Wolff and plundered Wolff's pawn
shop at 1(S First street last Friday night,
is expected within a short time by the
Portland police. As the result of clews
discovered yesterday the police believe
they have ascertained who the murderer
is. They are sure that one man perpe
trated the hideous crime and that the
man is in the city, unless he has escaped
within the past 36 hours.
The name of the suspect is necessarily
withheld. But ' so confident were the de
tectives of being on the right trail that
an officer was sent to the District At
torney's office early yesterday after
noon for a warrant of arrest. This war
rant charges murder in the first degree,
but the offense is charged against "John
Doe." as it was not intended to take any
chance of letting the man's name get
out prematurely.
The finding of a blood-stained shirt
yesterday morning afforded the police
their clew. In which they have utmost
faith. This grewsome garment, rolled
up in a piece of newspaper, was picked
up on a heap of debris in the rear of
the Washington House on Second street,
near Flanders. Obviously It had been
thrown there from one of the upper win
dows of the rooming-house. The sleeves
and bosom of the shirt were thickly
smeared with blood. City Physician
Zelgler examined the garment and pro
nounced the stains of recent origin. It
was also seen that the Bhirt was of a
size to correspond with the collar, found
in Wolff's place after the tragedy, being
No. 16.
Laundry Marks Differ.
The laundry marks differed from those
on the collar, but that did not spoil the
clew, for a man such as the one under
suspicion is given to the use of aliases.
Therefore he might have sent his laun
dry out under varying aliases at differ
ent times. The conflict In laundry marks,
on that assumption, was regarded more
as a confirmation of the suspicions of the
police, when the name of the owner of
the shirt was secured from a local laun
dry. The laundry marks on the collar found
after the murder told nothing. Half a
dozen Buch marks were in use in the city.
But the shirt at once gave a genuine
clew. It was found to belong to a man
of desperate habits, and further Inves
tigation developed that this same man
has been strangely missing from his ac
customed haunts during the past few
days. That the follow did not leave the
city Immediately after the murder was
learned definitely during the afternoon.
Late yesterday afternoon and again
last night the trail grew very warm. A
tip as to where the suspect might be in
hiding was secured. Detective Tichenor
went to the District Attorney's office and
secured the warrant of arrest, charging
murder. Five minutes after doing this.
Tichenor denied It. It was denied at the
District Attorney's office, at the police
station and by every one connected with
the case. However, It is definitely known
that the warrant was issued and that the
officers expected to serve it last night.
Every detective in the department was
put out on the case last night by Captain
of Detectives Baty. The officers had In
structions to work with the utmost se
crecy. Early this morning the officers
were still at work. The detectives have
had very little sleep since last Friday
night.
Investigate Many Clews.
Clews innumerable have been given
over to the police to unravel. Half a
dozen clews were secured yesterday,
some of them absurd, but all demanding
Investigation. Early yesterday morning
an East Side clothescleaner reported hav
ing received a blood-stained coat and vest
with instructions from a "susplcious"
appearing man to remove the stains at
once. Detectives were sent out post
haste. They found that the owner of the
clothe had engaged in a fist fight with
an acquaintance Saturday night and had
got much the worse of the affray, as
evidenced by his coat and vest.
Another report dealt with a man with
a bruised face and scarred hand. The
result of the investigation on this report
proved ludicrous In the extreme. The
man with the scars admitted that he got
them at Nathan Wolff's shop last Friday
night. But it was while trying to force
his way near to. the door while Patrolman
Burke was engaged in keeping the crowd
back. He got Into a. discussion with
Burke, who handled him roughly and
left the marks as souvenirs of the Inci
dent, he" said. This was denied by Burke,
but the "suspect" was plainly In no way
connected with the Wolff tragedy.
When the report of the finding of a gory
shirt was telephoned In. an Investigation
was made at once, but clews of that kind
had about been given up as hopeless.
The shirt was found on top of a heap of
debris by Patrolman John Coltz. It was
In plain view from the street but had not
been noticed before. .
Get "o Information.
The inspection of the premises failed
to reveal anything, the proprietors of the
place being unable to say just who had
occupied the rooms from the windows of
which the shirt might have been tossed.
Absence of stoves In the rooms made it
necessary for the owner of the shirt to
toss it from a rear window. Plainly It
would be risky to leave the shirt in the
room. It was deduced that the murderer
ran down deserted First street after the
murder, crossed over to the lodging-houso
on one of the dark thoroughfares north
of the police station, got rid of the bloody
shirt and possibly remained in the room
over night.
The police continue in the belief that
there was only one man implicated, and
that this man's Identity Is known.
COUNTY POSTS $1000 REWARD
Offers Large Sum for Capture and
Conviction of Murderer. .
One thousand dollars reward for the
arrest and conviction of the man who
murdered Nathan Wolff Friday night was
offered yesterday by the County Court.
The decision to make the offer was
reached Just before noon yesterday, after
a conference between the Court, District
Attorney Manning and Chief of Police
Gritzmacher. held at the Courthouse.
'The murder was an exceptionally
brutal one," said Judg Webster, in
speaking of the case, "and we considered
that the county could well afford to spend
the money In bringing the criminal, or
criminals, to justice. It la a very rare
thing for the county to ' off er a reward
for the apprehension of a criminal, this
being the second time it has been done
since I have been In office. But the cir
cumstances surrounding the case led us
to believe that the reward would lead to
a capture.
"As a large quantity of Jewelry was
taken, it 1s probable that the murderer
will attempt to dispose of it. It 'is also
likely that he has 'pals' who will not
scruple to Inform the police of his where
abouts In consideration of the large re
ward. I believe we shall succeed In bring
ing the nuurderer to justice."
PRUNE CROP IS NIPPED
Marion Farmers Find Damage More
Serious Than Reported.
SALEM. Or.. May 4. (Special.) Reports
today from the prunegrowing districts
around Salem indicate that the damage
by the recent frost was much greater
in low lands than was believed last week.
In the Roseciale district, where most of
the prunes of this vicinity are raised, the
damage was practically nothing, and.
amounted to merely . thinning of the
fruit. The same is true of other hill
districts.
But it seems that in the low lands and
in "pockets" in the hills where cold air
settles, the damage was very serious.
Some growers estimate that they will
have only one-third of last year's yield,
lit will be four or five days yet, however,
before anything definite can be deter
mined. Vancouver Barracks Notes.

PANAMA IS DISAFFECTED
Rumors of War Against the United
States Are Heard.
CARTHAGE, Colombia, May 4. The
government of Colombia has reason to be
lieve that the government at Panama is
Intriguing with Venezuela to declare war
upon this country. It is known that the
occupation of Jurado. which is on the
Altrato River, the. boundary line between
Panama and Colombia, has angered the
Panama government. The occupation of
Jurado was done on the advice of the
Mexican government, which held that it
was clearly within Colombian territory.
The attitude of the government of Pana
ma has given the United States a good
deal of solicitude. One of Secretary
Taft's chief missions to Panama is to try
and adjust the matter. It is believed that
America disapproves of the efforts of Pan
ama to induce Venezuela to make war
upon Colombia.

SUFFOLK. RESOLVES HOUSE
r
Boston Mansion Where Ideas Bring
ing n Revolution Were Hatched.
Boston Globe.
One of Boston's most important revo
lutionary relics Is the old Vose or "Suf
folk Resolves" house at the Milton
Lower Mills. This historic edifice,
which stands on Adams street near the
bridge, has of late ears been slightly
remodeled. A store has been made of
one of the lower rooms and an L has
been added, but the general line of the
original building can stlH be seen.
It was in this mansion, the home of
Daniel Vose, often .called, the "birth
place of American liberty," that the
famous "Suffolk resolves" were adopt
ed, September 9, 1774, by the Suffolk
convention.
The obnoxious regulating or recon
structive acts had not been long in
operation abtfore tne popular resistance
they encountered found expression in
these resolves, which were drawn up
and reported' to the convention by Gen
eral Joseph Warren, who the next June
lost his life in their defense at the
Battle of Bunker Hill.
These resolves, 19 in number, were by
far the boldest doctrines ever adopt
ed or promulgated in America, and
probably did more than any one other
thing to bring matters to a crisis. As
soon-s General Gage heard of their
adopVm. he sent to England for more
troops and commenced his campaign of
confiscation which ended in the fight
at Lexington and Concord.
The resolves declared that the sov
ereign who breaks his compact with
his subjects forfeits their allegiance.
They arraigned as unconstitutional the
repressive acts of Parliament, and re
jected all officers appointed under their
authority.
They directed collectors of taxes to
pay over no money to the royal treas
urer. They advised the towns to choose
their officers of militia from the
friends of the people.
They favored a Provincial Congress,
and promised respect and submission
to the Continental Congress. They de
termined to act upon the defensive as
long as reason and self-preservation
would permit, but no longer.
They threatened to seize every crown
officer in the province as hostages if
the Governor should arrest any one for
political reasons. They also arranged
a system of couriers to carry messages
to town officers and corresponding
committees. They earnestly advocated
the well-known American principles of
social order as the basis of all political
action; exhorted ail persons to abstain
from- riots and all attacks upon the
property of any person whatsoever; and
urged their countrymen to "convince
their enemies that in a contest so im
portant, in a cause so solemn, their
conduct should be such as to merit ap
probation of the wise, and the admira
tion of the brave and rree of every
age and country."
These resolutions were sent to the
Continental Congress at Philadelphia
by Paul Revere, where they were ap-
