Xouman's death brings a charge of mur

years of ai;e. La Hose was run to earth
by a street crowd yesterday forenoon
after he had made an unsuccessful at
tempt to murder John Chongr, a Chinese
tailor at 249 Ankcny street. In the light
of developments brought out by the. police
last night It appears certain that the pris
oner Is guilty of the Neuman murder and
that he seriously Injured Ma Herman
sarly Monday nlarht. The three crimes
were Identical in execution, cowardly bru
tality marking eurh one. Herman was
struck down without warning with a piece
of rusted lion wrapped in a bandana
handkerchief. Neuman and Chong were
each hit from behind hy sections of meted
raspipe wrapped in sheets of newspaper.
But evidence of a more direct nature
was unearthed by Detective Tiehenor and
Captain Buty early last night, when they
found that a watch pawned by La Rose
Tuesday afternoon was taken from Nen
man's store. Inasmuch as the cash till
was not molested and Netiman's watch
was left hanging from his pocket, it was
thought at llrst the place had not been
robbed, but by going carefully over the
ilead man's books last night the watch
disposed of by La Rose was found to
have been In Neuman's care as security
on a loan. The original owner , is now
being hunted for the perfect identification
of the watch. La Hose pawned the time
piece with Charles I-condar. keeper of a
saloon at 1 First street. A gold locket.
Seen in La Rose's possession by A. Sny
Jcr, a laborer, Tuesday night, is also
known to have belonged to Neuman, the
detectives say.
La Ko.-e a IJesperate Tlmg.
La Rose is the type of man who would
readily be suspected of such a crime.
Brutality Is printed on every feature.
His voice and manner contlrm the prom
ise of his face. He is not crazy, but a
desperate thug, who cares . nothing for
human life, say those who ' had the op
portunity of talking with him last night
after he had recovered from the liquor
steeped condition in which he was ar
rested following the murderous attack
on Chong.
He was told at !t o'clock last nigh! of
the death of Neuman. He showed not
the slightest concern. Glaring through
the bars of his cell on the lower floor of
the City Jail, he accepted the news with
out change of color or the moving of a
muscle.
"Your man is dead," Potective Tiehe
nor told the fellow.
"Who's that the Chink?" he inquired.
"No. Neuman."
"Say, damn you. are you crazy? "What
do 1 know or care about this fellow
Keuman," he snapped, twisting his nor
mally brutal face into a hideous scowl.
'You fellows make me tired."
Contradicts l'oriner Story.
Ia Rose continued tf answer questions
directed to him without reserve, empha
sizing every sentence with profanity
Twenty per cent of his conversation is
made up of profanity. He said he came
here four days ago. thereby contradicting
a statement made earlier in the day to th
effect that he arrived in town Tuesday
night. He said he was in a saloon all
day Tuesday and could prove It.
"I didn't leave that saloon all day, and
there's a lot of people who will swear to
it. he asserted.
"Why. I saw you on the street mv
self in company with two other men.
You were crossing Burnside street," said
the on leer.
"Well. 1 guess a man has got a right
to cross the street, hasn't he?" growled
L Rose.
"I hate Chinks, but I was drinking this
morning or 1 might not have gone in and
hit this fellow, he volunteered.
Assault on John Chung.
With desperate cunning. La Rose re
turned to the vicinity of his two previous
assaults, yesterday morning. entered
Chong's pia'-'e, less than two blocks from
the scene of the Neumann assault, and at
11 o'clock, the exact hour of Tuesday's
crime, attacked Chong with a section of
gaspipe. Tile first blow failed to knock
Chong senseless and the Chinaman began
screaming for help while La Rose stood
over him clubbing him brutally over the
head. Falling to subdue the shrieking
victim, the thug dropped his weapon and
ran out of' the place, turning east to
Second street and north on Second street.
Reaching Svcond street lie slowed down
to a walk.
A. Mehendahl. 4!5 Montgomery street
was attracted by the commotion and lie
followed La, Rose, A crowd began to col
leet Instantly and in a few minutes 20
people were following the thug. Mehen
dahl pressed close to the fugitive but
hesitated in taking hold of him. Seeing
Mehendahl close behind him La Rose
stopped a moment, turned around and
said sarcastically, "I ain't going to hurt
you."
La Rose turned into the Bdel Brau
saloon and attempted to leave by a rear
entrance but It was locked and he left
by the front door, ran into Fritz place,
at Second end Burnside streets, left by
another entrance and crossed the street
to Brickson's place.
The crowd which had been following
him saw him go into the Krlckson resort.
Deputy Sheriff J. P. Plover was
informed of La Rose's identity and
he entered the saloon, rushed La Rose and
with the assistance of bystanders over
powered the thug and held him for the
police. Patrolman 'Circle arrived in a
few minutes and took the man in charge.
Cries of "Lynch Him."
In the meantime the crowd had become
a mob and no less than 300 people were
either inside the saloon or just outside.
Word that the "gaspipe thug" had been
caught caused several irresponsible parties
to begin shouting "Lynch him." "Take
him away from the police anil lynch
him." These cries were not taken serious
ly, inasmuch as the courage of the crowd
had been tested already by failure of
't
Jack I -a Kune, the Gar-pipe Thug.
those knowing who I-a Rose was to at
tempt to capture the fellow.
Strange as the statement may seem, it
is a fact that La Rose spent Tuesday
night in the City Jail and was released
yesterday morning by the department
just three hours before he made his
third assault. While the detective bureau
was searching high and low for the man
during the, early hours of yesterday morn
ing. La Rose was serenely ' asleep in a
cell at the City Jail under a charge of
simple drunkenness. He was released on
becoming sober at 7:30 o'clock yesterday
morning.
La Rose did not deny having tried to
kill Chong. While he was being searched
at the police station the Injured Chinese
was taken into the station for the pur
pose of Identifying the prisoner. As soon
as La Rose saw his victim, covered with
blood and hasty bandages he broke into
profanity.
Sorry Blows Failed to Kill.
"Yes, I hit the Chinaman and I'm sorry
I didn't kill him. I used to beat them up
right along over around Hongkong and
Shanghai."
The. fellow's reference to Chinese ports
was taken as mere drunken babble until
later when it was learned he served as
a marine lireman and is likely to have
been in the Orient.
Kfforts of Captain Moore to qtiestion
La. Rose were given up by that officer as
the prisoner was In no condition to talk
coherently. After several hours im- i
prisonment, however. La Rose was more
quiet and when asked about the assaults
on Neuman and Hermann he denied
knowing anything about those affairs.
He said he came in from .San Fran
cisco late Tuesday night and was ar
rested by a policeman shortly afterwards
for being drunk. Patrolman Epps made
the arrest at First and Pine streets, at
1 A. M'. It was learned that the fellow
was lying, however, as several parties
were located who have seen La Rose
hanging about North End saloons for
several days past.
The suggestion was frequently advanced
yesterday that La Rose may have been
Implicated in the brutal murder of
Nathan Wolff, for which Kdward H.
Martin is now being held, or thut he was
the sole perpetrator of that crime. This
idea is not taken up with by the police,
however, who say La Rose positively had
nothing to do with the Wolff murder.
La Hose Typical Saloon' Bully.
La Rose Is a finely built young man of
not more than 24. He stands six feet,
is broad and muscular and walks with a
swagger. He is the characteristic saloon
tough and bully. His brutal methods
have given rise to the theory that.be is
insane but it is more probable that a
naturally coarse and brutal nature has
been accentuated by continued and ex
cessive use of liquor. :- - w-. o
The weapons used by I,a Rose were left
behind in each instance and were like
wise wrapped in paper on two occasions.
Sections of gasnipe were used on Chong
and Neuman while a piece of steel of a

brakebeam was applied to Hermann, the
first victim. All three were rusted and
bore evidence of having been picked out
of a junk heap.
That I.a Rose spoke openly of his use
of gaspipe while in a saloon Tuesday
night, was learned yesterday by the
police.
"My little old gaspipe gets me all the
money I want," he informed several men
with whom he was drinking. They
thought he was referring to his mouth
when he spoke of gaspipe and paid no
attention to him at the time.

a terrific blow on Ihe head and a suc

SEEKS FRANCHISE
ON MACADAM ROAD
Electric Line to Tap Fulton
Factory District Planned by
United Railways.
APPLIES TO COUNTY COURT
Agrees to Sprinkle or Oil Koad and
to Haul Gravel and Crushed Rock
for County Free N'ine Months
to Complete the Line.
In order to reach the manufacturing dis
trict on the Macadam Road; the United
Railways has asked the County Court for
a franchise to lay track on the ilacadam
Road from the present terminus of the
line through the factory district in Ful
ton. The United tracks are down on the
Macadam Road as far south as the old
city limits. The company plans to extend
the line in order to serve the old Zim
merman packing plant, and the other
manufacturing establishments in that por
tion of the city along the river front.
Although the Macadam Road is in the
city limits, it is still under the control
of the county, never having been turned
over to the city. Because of this fact,
application had to be made to the County
Court for the right to lay tracks on that
thoroughfare. Application wa"s made for
a franchise extending to the Clackamas
County line. President Benham. of the
United Railways, says this provision was
made so that if the company wants to ex
tend the line later, it will have permis
sion to do so. At present there is no in
tention to build further than into the
manufacturing district in South Portland,
says President Benham.
The United Railways agrees in its pe
tition for a franchise to pay the county
$500 each year until 1321. making $6250 In
all, and $250 a year after that date. ' The
company agrees to permit other electric
lines to use the track if they so desire,
and promises to charge not more than
5-cent fare between any point in Mult
nomah County on this line and Portland.
The corporation agrees to furnish for
the county, at cost, all the crushed rock
it may need for the building or repairing
of its roads, and to haul it free of charge.
The same is to apply to gravel. Another
clause in the franchise says, however, that
the company will "haul for the county
crushed rock or gravel from any point
along its ralyway line or lines in Mult
nomah County to the City of Portland
or to any line of railway connection with
the line of said United Railways Com
pany in said county at the rate of 2 1-3
cents per yard per mile."
The company proposes to sprinkle or oil
the road along its right of way. After
the franchise is granted it is proposed to
Ox-gin work within 30 days, to have the
track laid from the south end of
Macadam street to the 'bridge north, of
Weber's tannery In eight months, and to"
have cars running over the line 30 days
after it Is completed. Cars are not to oe
permitted to stop on the crossings. The
petition continues:
"It is contemplated that the railway
shall be constructed only along the ex
treme east 20 feet of the county road, and
wherever the construction shall en
croach upon the macadamized portion
of the roadway, the company shall, at
its own expense change, construct,
grade and macadamize such portion of
the roadway to the satisfaction of the
County Court. Wherever the county road
is not open the full SO feet in width, the
company shall, before it constructs its
track there, open the same to its full
width and pay the whole expense of tins
work."
The court has the proposed franchise
under consideration.
SAYS MARTIN IS GUILTY
MANNING IiKCLAKES EV1DKNCE
AGAINST HIM COMPLETE.
Believes La Rose Is Guilty of Recent
Assaults but Not of Wolff
Murder.
District Attorney Manning does not
hold to the theory that the capture of
Jack La Rose, the gaspipe thug, frees
Edward H. Martin from the suspicion of
the murder of Nathan Woiff. Mr. Man
ning said last night: '
"With the arrest of Jack La Rose it is
to be hoped that the police have put an
end to the record of brutality and blood
shed that has prevailed in Portland dur
ing the last two weeks. In the capture
of Edward A. Martin and Jack La Rose the
officers have made possible the trial and
conviction of two criminals of .the most
1 i -
desperate and wanton types and the con
viction of both of these degenerates will
be accomplished as speedily as possible.
"The case against Edward H. Martin
is complete. The train of circumstantial
evidence is absolute and convincing. I
have made a close study of all the evi
dence in the hands of the police and 1
have satisfied myself to a certainty that
the proof is sufficient to warrant a con
viction of murder in the - first degree.
There has been considerable speculation
regarding the gulltof Martin, but I am
unable to see where there is any logical
or reasonable ground upon which to base
any presumption of his innocence. All
the circumstances surrounding the case
point conclusively to him as the perpe
trator of the dastardly assassination of
one of Portland's honorable law-abiding
citizens.
"From what I have been able to ascer
tain, I am convinced that the police will
demonstrate to an absolute verity that
La Rose is the gaspipe artist whose
-J
bloody and shocking assaults upon unsus
pecting merchants have so outraged the
sense of public security within the last
few days. I shall give immediate personal
attention to the Investigation of the
state's case against La Rose.
"And I. want to take this means of
publicly complimenting the Police Depart
ment of the City of Portland for its
prompt and efficient action in the appre
hension of both Martin and La Rose.
The success that has attended their ef
forts in running down the perpetrators of
these crimes is an honor' to the police
force of any city; and Portland should
feel proud of her officers."
PROTEST AMUSES COUNCIL
Baker Says Author Is Better Letter
Writer Than Lane.
Councilman Baker yesterday afternoon
pronounced B. F. Padrlck. of 1108 Union
avenue North, "a better -letter-writer
than Mayor Lane." A communication
from Mr. Padrlck. protesting against the
report of the viewers In the proposed
opening of Grand avenue, was read amid
the hearty' laughter of . the Councilmen.
the Mayor and spectators. It contained
John C'hunic. the Chlneae Tailor,
Latent Victim of Jack La Rose.
much humor, and set forth in details why
he did not wish to have the improve
ments made. 4He said it would ruin some
sweet peas he planted along the avenue;
that it is not needed, and gave other rea
sons. Mr. Padrlck wrote that he had sup
posed, until now. that viewers were ap
pointed to do some work in connection
with their assignment to examine pro
posed improvements, but he said he had
found that they did nothing of the sort.
A hasty trip to the scene in a trolley
car; hard smoking all the time; a quick
glance around the community,' a hurried
consultation as to, how much each property-owner
will stand, and a return trip
back to the city, he declared, comprised
the duties of -ie.wers. At least, he said.
It appeared so to him. His objection to
the proposed improvement was over
ruled. FAVOR FIRE-ALARM GRANT
Council Advertises Measure Opposed
by Chief Campbell.
After a determined effort on the part
of Councilman Rushlight to secure an
amendment to the proposed franchise
asked by the National Automatic Fire
Alarm Company, forfeiting to the city all
the system at the expiration of 23 years,
the City Council yesterday afternoon
voted to advertise the franchise, as re
quired by law before passage. Council
man Annand succeeded in inserting a sec
tion, making the valuation of the fran
chise 1 per cent of the gross earnings and
the auxiliary fire-alarm boxes. Originally,
the only consideration granted the city
was the per cent of the earnings.
As matters stand. It seems that the
Council will grant this franchise, as an
understanding that practically insures
tills action had been arranged. Council
man Vaughn, minority leader, favors the
passage, as do also members of the
majority faction, which would, appear to
make certain the passage of the grant
when it is presented for final action.
This franchise has brought about great
opposition from Fire Chief Campbe, City
Electrician Savarian and ICouncilmen
Kellaher, Cottel, Rushlight and others,
who believe that It is a bad mistake to
permit the automatic company to attach
its service to the wires of the city fire
alarm service. A large number of letters
from officials of cities throughout the
country have been presented, showing
that they do not allow the automatic or
auxiliary boxes to be connected with the
municipal system.
Mr. Kellaher instituted the tight against
the franchise, and secured much informa
tion, which he introduced into the Coun
cil to defeat its passage. He is in the
East at this time, but will bo here in
time to vote when the matter comes up
for final action. . However, it now seems
that the company will secure the grant,
which Is pronounced by Councilman Cot-
tel as one of the most valuable
sought in the history of Portland.
Defer Action on Franchise.
The City Cotlncil yesterday deferred
action on the report of the street com
mittee, recommending the revocation of
single-track permits of the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company on
Killingsworth avenue, from Williams to
Union avenues, and north to the city lim
its. The residents in the vicinity named
desire a double-track system or none,
and it is proposed to put in hard-surface
pavements there soon. The railway com
pany asked until the first Council meet
ing in June in which to consider the
matter.

CANCEL GAS GRANT
Council to Revoke Economy
Company Franchise.
LEGAU PROBLEM INVOLVED
Kavanatigh In Doubt as to Power of
City Fathers to Take Away Per
mit Issued by Vote of
1 the People.
Whether the City Council has power to
revoke a franchise that was granted by
vote of the people at regular election, is
the question City Attorney Kavanaugh
has been asked to rule upon In the case
of the Economy Gas Company. He ad
mits it Is a close question, but says- It
ought to be settled In the courts, and he
was instructed by the Council to draft
an ordinance, revoking the grant, for
presentation at the next regular meeting.
B. S. Pague, local representative of the
company, said last night that he has no
fears of the action the Council may take,
as the company, he declared, had fulfilled
every provision of the grant, and will
maintain its rights at all hazards. He
says the terms of the franchise, which
require actual work on the laying of
mains and other portions of the system
to be begun within six months from date
of passage, have been complied with. He
declined to give details, but said they
would be made public at the proper time.
"I do not care what action the Council
takes." said Mr. Pague. "The people
voted the franchise, and we have com
plied with its terms. We have the law
on our side. have done sufficient
work to hold under the law, and that is
sufficient. One of the terms of the grant
requires us to spend at least J5000 within
one year from date of the granting of the
franchise. It is probable we shall spend
many times that amount before the time
expires, which will be six months more."
Mayor Lane and the Council, according
to Mr. Pague, have been antagonistic to
the company from the outset. He de
clares that the Mayor has refused to ap
prove of the bond for $5000 required, al
though it was put up by a man worth at
least 00.000.
The Mayor a month ago called the at
tention of the Council to the alleged neg
lect of the company in a communication
setting forth that no work had been done,
and the terms of the franchise in no way
complied with, so far as he could learn.
The Council decided to forfeit the fran
chise, but Mr. Kavanaugh asktd for more
explicit Information, something more tan
gible upon which to base his ordinance
for revocation. It was decided that, in
order to test the law. the Council will re
voke the franchise and see what the com
pany's agents do.
E
EXPERT MAY SELECT. SITE FOR
CREMATORY.
Council Provides Funds to Pefray
Expenses of Choosing Location on
River Xorth of City.
Councilman Bennett yesterday after
noon Introduced before the City
Council and secured the passage
of an ordinance aproprlating $500
out of the general fund to pay for
the services of a special engineer to ex
amine into the feasibility of locating a
garbage crematory on the river bank,
north of Portland. Inasmuch as Mayor
Lane has recently called the attention of
the Council to the deleted condition of
the general fund, and the-necessity of
care in expenditures, it is believed he will
veto the measure.
The Council recently referred the mat
teV of a new garbage crematory to the
Board of Health, and the latter body soon
sent in a report, recommending that the
crematory be located at East Third and
East Davis streets. In the light of the
action of the Council yesterday after
noon, it now appears that the recom
mendation, of the Board pf Health is to
receive no further attention.
The garbage crematory matter has
been hanging fire for many months. A
new incinerator Is one of the crying
needs of the city, a fact admitted by all.
but no site mentioned has been gen
erally satisfactory- A special meeting of
the Council, with Councilman Baker as
chairman, was appointed some . months
ago. and after several meetings and nu
merous complaints against all locations
offered, gave up the struggle. The com
mittee accomplished nothing toward
placing a crematory in operation, but Mr
Baker suggested that two or three sites
be suggested and the people be given an
opportunity to vote on the location. .
In the meantime, the old, worn-out
garbage burner on Guild s Lake Is being
conducted on the glutton system, being
overworked every day, and being abso
lutely inadequate to the demands made
upon it. A suggestion has been made
several times that the city appropriate
money to put the present burner in first
class condition and operate it for a while
loneer. but it seems its days of useful
ness are nearly over. Many believe that
to locate the crematory down the river
would be very expensive. A system of
barges would be required if this course
were to be taken.
