MURDER CHARGE
MAY ARREST STEP-FATHER
orifrlals fnjr Boy Who Ktlled IX;
Mars Had Been Furnished Ex
ample In le of Gun by
Charles H. Schemp.
It rests with the discretion of Judaic
Gantenbein. of the Juvenile Court,
whether or not Jackson Reid. the youth
ful slayer of Georfce F. De Mars, shall
be taken under the protecting arm of
the Juvenile Court or shall be tried for
murder in the first degrree in the same
manner that a man of mature years
irniilH be tried.
District Attorney Cameron's office
will this morning submit the case to
Judge Gantenbein and he will decide,
In case he says the boy is too .young
to be punished as a regular and mature
criminal, the lad will be inea ana pun
ished hv the Juvenile Court. In case,
on the other hand, the Court decides
that the gravity of the case Is sufficient
to remove it from the Jurisdiction 01
the Juvenile Court, the lad will be tried
in the common courts as an ordinary
murderer.
Ready to File Charge.
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
yesterday afternoon said that a charge
of murder in the first degree will be
entered against the boy today In case
the Judge decides the case should be
tried outside the jurisdiction 01 me
Juvenile Court.
Mr. Fitzgerald Is also considering the
advisability of causing Charles 11.
Schemp. the lad's step-father, to be ar
rested. It was he, according to many
witnesses, who taught the boy the use
of the weapon with which he killed De
Mars, and It was the step-Iatner. ac
cording to Mr. Fitzgerald, who set the
example to the boy of using a gun to
warn trespassers from the place.
SchemD. according to testimony In
troduced at the coroner's inquest yes
terday afternoon, has repeatedly threat
ened to use his revolver In driving tres
nassers off the premises. In using the
weapon to frighten people away, he Is
raid to have always been accompanied
by his step-children. Jackson Reid and
step-daughter. Frances Held. The man
Is severely blamed by Mr. Fitzgerald,
who announced yesterday that proceed
ings may be instituted against him.
At the coroner's inquest yesterday
afternoon no additional evidence was
submitted that had not been presented
before. However, the one exception
was the testimony of several witnesses
that Schemp hau set the example to the
boy of driving persons off the premises
with a gun.
Clear Case, Says Fitzgerald.
Various witnesses were called, but no
evidence was submitted that had not
been presented to the public before.
The District Attorney's office was rep
resented by two deputies who showed
little sympathy for the boy.
"In my estimation there are few mit
igating circumstances." said Mr. Fitz
gerald. "The fact that the boy sent his
sister for a gun and then ran back" to
meet her before rushing up to the man
and shooting him. makes a clear case of
murder against him. according to my
way of looking at it. Of course we all
feel sorry for him. but if the Judge of
the Juvenile Court decides that he shall
be tried like anyone else, we shall cer
tainly charge him with murder in the
first degree."
It was yesterday morning when the
hoy first showed signs of contrition, or
of even partially appreciating the hor
ror of his deed. He talked of his crime,
but not with the abandon of indiffer
ence that characterized his remarks of
the day before. Apparently he is be
ginning to realize that he has not made
a hero of himself and that tne affair is
entirely more serious than he Imagined.
He insists that JJe' Mars was coming
towards him with the oar in his hand
when the shot was fired, and that it
.was done purely in self-defense. His
uncle. M. V. Reid. also contends that
the lad fired In protecting himself.
Penalty From Juvenile Court.
In case the boy is tried in the
Juvenile Court the maximum penalty
that can be imposed Is a Reform-School
sentence. Ia that case Superintendent
N. H. Looney, of that Institution, may
discharge the boy after he has been
held 11 months, or he may hold him
until he is il years old. The law pro
vides that discharge may be made
whore a juvenile offender has been
exemplary In his behavior. It seems
probable that if he is remanded to the
Juvenile Court for trial, he will hare a
hearing at 10 A. M. next Monday, and
that he will either receive a Reform-
School sentence or be acquitted.
The common law rule under which
young- Reid will gro to trial holds that
children under seven years of agre are
irresponsible; that they cannot enter
tain criminal intent. Between the
ages of 7 and 14 evidence must be
brought forward to Bhow the Intent to
commit crime, and In children above 14
years of age tt is conclusively pre
sumed that criminal intent may exist.
The Juvenile Court act of 1907. last
part of section 10, is as follows:
Law That Would Govern
Any child who shall have committed a
miprifmanor or felony and shall have been
found by the court to be a delinquent child
within the meaning of this act, nd commit
ted hereunder, and who shall thereafter be
found by the court to be fncnrriKlble and
incapable of reformation, or dangerous to
the welfare of the community, or who at
any time, either before or after commitment
by the Juvenile .Court, shall be found to
committed a fl"ny of such nature as to
show great depravity of mind, or who Is
found to be a habitual criminal, or who, for
any reason, W found by the court to be In
capable or reformation or dangerous to the
welfare of the community, may. In the dis
cretion of the Court, be remanded to the
proper court of the county in which such
crime In committed, and be proceeded again
and tried for uch crime, and; If found itullty
of th commlon thereof, be subject to
Judrment therefor, irv the same manner as
if be had bees over the age of 18 years when
urh crime was committed.
Section 12 provides as follows:
No court or magistrate shall commit a
child under 1 years of ajc to Jail or police
station, but if such child 1 unable to give
bail, it may be committed to the rare of the
Sheriff, police officer or Probation Officer,
who shall keep said child In nome emits hie
place provided, by the city or county, outile
the encl.ure of any jail or police station.
it may be held otherwlw. as the court
may direct. "When such child shall be sen
tenced to confinement in any Institution to
which adult convicts are eentenced, it shall
be unlawful to confine such child In the same
yard or tnclomire with jnich adult convicts,
or to bring such child into any yard or buu.'

SEW THEATER FACIXG CEJfTRAl PARK, AT CENTRAL PARK WEST AND SIXTY-SECOND AND SIXTY-THIRD STREETS, NEW YORK.
Plans for the new theater in New York, which is being built by subscription in the interests of art and not profits, have now reached the stage
where uie work is ready to be pushed, and the opening has been set for November, 1909. The plan Is to have four evenings a week devoted to
drama and two to opera, with ten or more new plays each year, which will compete for an annual prize.
The new house is to take the place of a National playhouse, such as is subsidized by European governments. The promoters, who have sub
scribed between J2.OJ0.00o and $3,000,000. include John Jacob Astor. Charles T. Barney, August Belmont, William K. Vanderbllt, Cornelius Vander
bilt, J. P. Morgan, James Hazen Hyde, George J. Gould, Otto H'. Kahn. Harry Payne Whitney, Hamilton McK. Twombley and Eliot Gregory.
The mission of the theater will be to provide the best dramas in the best manner regardless of cost. If the venture makes money, well and
good; if not, the subscribers will stand the loss. Art, not cash, is the slogan.
There will be seats for 2318 persons. 600 of whom will be placed in the orchestra. The boxes will be in two tiers, two boxes being reserved for
the directors and the artists. The stage itself will be the finest in the world and will be equipped with-every appliance known to modern build
ers. It will be 112 feet high, 100 feet wide and 68 feet deep. The mechanical devices will permit of the quick handling of every known com
bination of scenery,- thus avoiding long waits. The forty dressing-rooms will be reached by elevators: It is estimated the building will cost
J2.000.000. ,

BARNUM & BAILEY COMING
Greatest Clreus on Earth to Visit
This City on August 25 and 6.
I
Final arrangements have just been
completed for the visit to this city on
August 25 and 1'6 of the Barnum and
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. Added
glory, which attaches to this circus
this season. Is heralded from New York
City, where the opening engagement
at the Madison Square Garden created
the most enthusiasm of all those in the
long history of the enterprise.
One of the reasons of the added In
terest is an absolutely new equipment
throughout and the most expensive it
nas ever had. Then the performance
has increased in strength, a great com
pany of European performers new to
America has been engaged, and better
still, the street parade, which this cir
cus has omitted for so long, is again
given at the customary time in the
forenoon and on a scale more elaborate
than ever.
For several generations the Barnum
nd Bailey circus has expressed to the
minds of all the superlative degree of
everything that pertains to the amuse
ment business. It has moved steadily
onward and upward year by year and
no other circus has ever advanced to
within sight of it. Though an Ameri
can institution, it is of the world and
of all times. It is known and has been
enjoyed by millions In eve;y land on
earth, crowned heads, royalty, poten
tates, the middle classes and the peas
antry, and its magnitude and brilliancy
have never ceased to be a source of
wonder.
The organization of this year num
bers 1500 people, 700 horses and thou
sands of other animals. The canvas
covers 14 acres of ground and the main
tent seats 16,000 people. To haul the
vast equipment from town to town re
quires Ave long trains of double-length
cars that cover nearly two miles of
track. '
The circus performance is Introduced
by a new and rAoro than usually bril
liant spectacle, the various acts that
follow are given In three rings, on two
stages in the dome of the tent and on
the immense hippodrome track, and for
a climax the programme ends with
sensational act styled "Autos that pass
In the air." The nerve required to do
the act and the danger involved would
strike terror to the heart of the ordi
nary lot of loop-the-loop and auto
somersault artists. It Is nothing like
anything that has ever been done be
fore, there Is ten times the risk in
volved and the act Is accomplished by
two mere girls. '
ORPHEUM BILLS TO OPEN
Vaudeville at Marqnam Theater to
Begin August 17.
The long-anticipated opening of the old
Marquam under the name-of the Orpheum
and playing the vaudeville attractions of
that great circuit, will occur on August
17. This was officially announced yes
terday by C. X. Sutton, who comes here
from St. Paul to manage the theater.
The house Is now undergoing extensive
alterations and Is being redecorated and
refitted throughout. When the opening
occurs old patrons of the Marquam will
be delighted with the changes.
Mr. Sutton has been connected with
the Orpheum Interests for several years,
much of that time with the Orpheum
road show. He Is a thorough theatrical
man and knows the vaudeville business
as well as any man In the country.
Charles E. Bray, representing Martin
Beck, general manager of the Orpheum
circuit, will arrive from the East the
latter part of this week to confer with
Mr. Sutton.
The Eastern policy of changing the Or
pheum bills each week will be observed
here rather than holding hajf the acts
over to the following week as Is done
in San Francisco, and Portland will see
all the big bookings which appear at
the Kansas City, Denver and Minneapolis
theaters of the circuit, which Include a
great many acts. Imported from Europe
by the Orpheum management.
The opening bill will offer such big
cards as Frederick Bond & Co., Grals
prodigies; Melville & Stetson, and Wil
bur Mack & Co. The Grals act has Just
been brought over from. Europe. i
JACKSON REID SEEMS NOT TO
REALIZE ENORMITY OF CRIME
Looks Enough Like Elbert Oleman, Another Oregon Boy Murderer, to Be
Twin Brother, Says Arthur A. Greene. '
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
SOMETHING more than a year ago
a boy named Elbert Oleman ehot
and killed bis foster mother at a
little town on the Lower Columbia. He
was brought here and the case attract
ed widespread attention, owing to the
boy's peculiar physical characteristics.
Physicians declared Ms head to be
malformed and professed to have found
In him a type of youthful degenerate.
Tuesday 11-year-old Jackson Held
shot and killed George F. De Mars,
upon what appear to have been very
slight provocation.
Yesterday afternoon at the County
Jail I saw the Reid boy In his cell, and
although there was very little oppor
tunity to study the lad, I was struck
with the resemblance he bears to the
Oleman boy. His mother was with him
at the time, and upon her advice and
that of his lawyer, he refused to talk
to me.
I was Impressed, however, with this
fact: To all appearances, he might be
the Oleman boy's twin brother. The
same anaemic-looking face, the unde
veloped head, flat ears set unusually far
back, and the same stolid demeanor . He
looked at me In a languid, disinterested
way. as though wondering what the fuss
was all about.
I do not believe the boy realizes yet
what he has done, or that he Is likely
ever to suffer the pangs of remorse
for his awful deed. Yet he was 11
years old in June, and is not unintelli
gent, if reports are true. At that age
a normal youth knows very definitely
the difference between right and
wrong.
Before going to the Jail to see the
prisoner, I heard the more Important
SAYS HHiiiD CHOKEOHER
AMY DEACOX WANTS DIVORCE
FROM JOHN G. DEACOX.
Settlement of Trouble Over Property
Rights Followed by Filing of '
Suit for Separation.
John G. Deacon and Amy Deacon
have succeeded In settling their differ
ences over the Sherman House, at
Twelfth and Alder streets. But their
troubles are not ended. Mrs. Deacon
filed suit in the Circuit Court yester
day afternoon to obtain a divorce on
the ground of cruel and Inhuman treat
ment. The couple were married In Buffalo,
N. Y., April 14. 1896, and from that
time on, Mrs. Deacon says, her trou
bles have been unending. Her husband
was a carman, but as soon as he was
married, according to the statements
of his wife, he quit his Job, ostensibly
to assist In managing her affairs. She
says that he has a great dislike for
work, and that she has been support
ing him for the last 12 years. She
refuses to do It any longer.
In her divorce complaint Mrs. Deacon
says that her husband shook his fis
In her face, and applied vile epithets
to her In the presence of her friends,
later threatening to kill her. It was
because of one of these threats mad
last February, she says, that she en
tered Into partnership with him in
conducting the Sherman House. Thl
threat was renewed last month, she
asserts, and was followed by a scuf
fie. In which her husband secured
grip on her throat and would not re
lease his hold. Had it not been for the
timely arrival of roomers, she asserts
she would have been murdered. Other
allegations treat of -the sullen and
morose disposition of Deacon.
CASTEL SVIT IS CONTINUED
Charges, Answers and Counter
Charges In Sensational Case.
The suit of Alfle Castel against Antone
Castel, her husband, in which she de
mands $200 attorneys' fees, and money
to . prosecute divorce proceedings and to
support herself and child, was continued
by Judge Cleland In the Circuit Court
yesterday morning in order to give her
attorney an opportunity to file an an
swer to Castel's affidavit. The applica
tion for an order for suit money grows
out of the sensational divorce suit which
Mrs. Castel has started.
Castel formerly conducted a brewery
at Klamath Falls, but was caught in
the prohibition wave and has been com
pelled to shut down. His wife charges
In the complaint that he has been guilty
of extreme cruelty, while he replies with
testimony elicited at the Coroner's in
quest. Witnesses both for and against
him his 13-year-old eister and the
brother of the dead man each told
their story clearly and with every ap
pearance of truthfulness. Although so
widely divergent in interest, these two
people agreed on practically all mate
rial points. I gathered from the pro
ceedings that the De Mars brothers
were bent on killing, or at least beat
ing, the vicious dog, which the chil
dren had "sicked" on them, and that
the boy shot partly out of. his desire
to protect hifc dog, partly out of bra
vado to wield a gun, and partly be
cause his moral sense Is so little devel
oped that even the killing of a man
did not occur to him as anything so
very bad.
As In almost all criminal cases, some
degree of blame attaches to both sides.
The dead man probably went beyond rea
sonable bounds in his attempt to "do up"
the offensive cur dog; but it Is difficult
to find any Justification for the boy.
After all it occurs to me that the par
ents of Jackson Reid are in large degree
responsible. At the time of the tragedy
the mother was down- town attending
some religious or club meeting, some "ad
vanced thought" propaganda, when it is
evident she might much better have been
taking thought of her children. The
step-father who would keep a loaded re
volver within access of a houseful of
small children is also to be wondered at.
And after all Is said, when I found a
good chance to look at Jackson Reid,
the conclusion was almost forced upon
me that something is radically wrong
with that boy which the very best of
home Influences might have 'helped but
could not have healed; something sinis
ter and malign which perhaps thmedi
cal experts might explain.
the allegation that she took pleasure in
having herself photographed while scant
ily attired. Male figures also appeared
in the pictures, he said. Mrs. Castel
asserts that there Is no truth In the al
legations of her husband.
Castel says that as he Is not making
much money now, and as his wife has
been earning enough In Portland to sup
port herself and child, she is able to
provide the funds for the prosecution
of the suit. Her attorney answers with
the assertion that Castel is able to em
ploy two attorneys at Klamath Falls
and one in Portland, and that he should
be compelled to pay his wife's expenses.
Probate Court Notes.
The estate of Florence H. Schoovee
was admitted to probate in the County
Court yesterday. It is estimated to be
worth about $5700. William M. Gregory
was appointed executor.
S. C. Spencer, N. C. Hogg and Her
man Schneider were appointed yester
day appraisers of the estate of James
Phillips.
The guardian of Leon L. Vial, a spend
thrift, who is serving a six-year term in
the penitentiary for assault with Intent
to kill, has filed with the County Court
his third report. The report shows that
the receipts from the young man's share
of an estate left by his mother, have
amounted to $4748, while the expenditures
have been J4628. There is thus left bal
ance Of $120. The monthly income of the
estate is said to be $1132. Vial's mother
died last February. After Vial's con
viction his wife secured a divorce, with
a third interest In his property.
Bank Sues M. J. Kinney.
The Merchant's National Bank has
begun suit in the Circuit Court against
M. J. Kinney to recover $4500. It is
alleged that two notes, one for $2000
and another for $2500, were drawn by
Kinney In favor of the bank in May and
December; 1905, respectively. These
are alleged to be unpaid. The bank
also demands of Kinney $200 attorneys'
fees.

Milk From This State Is Richer
Than Required, but Per Cent of
Solids Is Less Because
of Green Feed.
Protection of Oregon's dairy Interests
prompted the sending of telegrams yester
day by Portlandfs commercial bodies to
James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture,
and H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Department of Agriculture. In these tele
grams T. B. Wilcox, president of thp Ore
gon Development League: Tom Richard
son, manager of the Portland Commer
cial Club, and W. L. Crissey. secretary
of the Oregon State Dairy Association,
Joined In protesting against the enforce
ment of the order of the National Pure
Food Commission as to the standard de
manded of condensed milk products.
It was Insisted In these telegrams that
the enforcement of this standard, which
requires 28 per cent of solids, of which
7.7 per cent shall be butter fat, would
result n seriously crippling the business
of the condensed milk factories of this
state. The condensed milk product of this
state averages 26 per cent of solids, in
cluding 8 per cent butter fat. The com
mercial bodies in their protests, were
Joined by J. W. Bailey, State Food and
Dairy Commissioner, who insists that the
per centage of solids should not be great
er than 26 per cent.
One of the telegrams was forwarded
to Professor Elmer Folmer. SUate Chemist
for the State of Washington. He is at
tending a meeting of the National As
sociation of State Food and Dairy De
partments In the State of Michigan. He
will present the grievance of Oregon's
dairy interests before this conference.
By placing the Btandard at 28 per cent
solids. Mr. Bailey contends there Is an
apparent effort on the part of Eastern
manufacturers of condensed milk to put
the Oregon manufacturers out of busi
ness. He bases this conclusion on the
fact that the Oregon dealers cannot com
ply with the new standard and continue
to manufacture the same satisfactory
quality of this product which sells
throughout the country n the face of the
keenest possible competition from other
states.
"There is no trouble for Oregon deal
ers to come up to the required standard
as to butter fat," said Mr. Bailey yester
day. "The condensed mjlk product of
this state averages 8 per cent butter fat
while the standard required by the Pure
Food Commission Is only 7:7 per cent.
The fact that for ten months of the
year our cows are fed on grass and other
succulent foods tends to produce less
solids than the concentrated food fed
herds In other states.
'It is for that reason the Oregon manu
facturer cannot come up to the standard
of solids that has been set without de
preciating the quality of his product. I
am satisfied that when we can present
the actual facts to Secretary Wilson, the
requirements of the Pure Food Commis
sion on this important subject will be ad-
Justed to meet conditions in this state."
JUDGE PARKER MAY SPEAK
Democrats Will Invite Him to Visit
Portland.
Alex Sweek, chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee, has re-
quested the National committee to have
Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York,
deliver a political address in Portland
some time the latter part of this month.
Judge Parker has been touring Yellow
stone Park and goes from there to Dos
Angeles for a visit with friends. From
Los Angeles he will go to Seattle about
August 25 to deliver an address before
the American Bar Association, and
Portland Democrats are hopeful he may
be induced to stop here en route long
enough to say some nice things about
Bryan and Kern.
John B. Ryan, secretary of the state
committee, has engaged for campaign
purposes the same suite of rooms in the
Merchants Trust building, Sixth and
Washington streets, that was used by
the Democrats during the June campaign
The headquarters will be opened as soon
as the necessary furniture can be in
stalled. In addition to State Chairman
Sweek and Secretary Ryan, the rooms
will also be occupied by Senator M. A.
Miller, National committeeman, and
George H. Thomas, chairman of the
county central committee.
