That Murderer Suspect Will Try to
Reach Salt Water Is Belief of
.Men Making Search in
Linn County.
ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 2. i Special. ) That
T. Theprion. wanted fur the murder of
Watchmen Knsmussen in Portland, may
b doubling back toward Portland is one
or tlH" tlieorles on which officers now en-gag-d
in the man-hunt are working.
"Colonial Jack," the man who is walking
around the country with a wheel-barrow
and who is in Albany tonight, met a
man answering TheorierTs description at
10 o'clock this morning, between the towns
of Marlon and Turner. The susp--ct was
walking northward and carried a satchel
like that known to be in the possession
of the supposed murderer.
The officers arv not depending on this
one clew, however, and are scouring the
surrounding country. A man answering
Tlwnrler.'s description w as rt ported nt
Urownsvllle early this morning, hut he
has not been located.
Sells Overcoat to Barber.
The officers have established, the fact
that Thcorlen is without money, lie sold
Ms overcoat, the same one he wore when
he was seen on the deck of the schooner
"Washington the day of the murder to
71. I.. Cooper, a local barber. When he
l.ft the Kranklln llouse yesterday morn
ing. Theorien left his satchel, saying he
bad no money, but would get some. He
later returned and paid for his room.
When the ofrtcers learned of this occur
rence they thought it was a bluff, but
the sale of the coat was learned today.
The fact that he Is without money en
hances tlie chancts for his capture.
It was evidently Theorien's Intention to
to to Ya.iuina Hay and lie stopped in
Alhr.ny for that purpose. Before he was
teen bv the wo Yaquina ' sailors he
asked W. A. Eastbiirn. a local merchant,
about the boat service out of Yaquina.
"Don't Tell," Theorien's Request.
It was learned today that Captain
Jacobs."!!, of the steamer Newport, which
plies between Yaiiulna and Newport,
talked to Theorien here yesterday. Jacob
s' n was one of the men who told Sheriff
f nith of Theorien's presence here, but
was so anxious not to be mentioned In
connection with the affair that lie d'd
T"l disclose the fact of his conversation.
The tun nvn talked on Klrst street and
Th'-.irien Is said to have remarked:
'For Ood's sake don't tell any one you
saw me here. I'm an innocent man."
Of titers believe that since his discovery
In re he will not attempt to go to Yaquina,
but will tr;- to reach some other seaport.
Thy cling to the theory that h will
endeavor to reach salt water as fast as
possible.

by Justice Moore. Horseman was tried
for the killing of Clarence McBroom
In Umatilla County. May 11. Iii7. and
waa convicted of manslaughter. He
pleaded self-defense. It appears that
Horseman was ill at the time of the
trouble: that McBroom and a man
named Cartwright had threatened
Horseman, and that on the day of the
killing Mcltroom. while accompanied
by several friends, attacked Horseman
and beat him unmercifully, causing In

Horseman the latter stepped back a
few paces and told them to keep away.
McBroom had hia hand In his pocket
and attempted to withdraw it.- at the
same time acting- as If he were going
to run at Horseman.
Horseman then drew his revolver
and killed McBroom. This is a synop

The case Is reversed because the

threats and acts of Cartwright in de

the people In the immediate vicinity
generally make a protest, but when the
soldiers have lived there a while, they
are Invariably liked, and the people ob
ject to their being taken away.

Gantenbein.
CAN CONTROL TUG SERVICE
New Commission. Announces That
Boats Will at Once Be Secured
for Operation on Willam
ette and Columbia.
SALEM, Or., Kov. 24. (Special.) The
Supreme Court today upheld the validity
of the Port of Portland charter amend
ment. adopted by the people of the Port
last June. The decision was rendered in
the case of Sylvester Karrell, appellant,
vs. Port of Portland, respondent, in which
Judge C. V. Gantenbein is affirmed in
an opinion by Chief Justice Bean.
The suit was brought to restrain the
Port of Portland Commission from carry
ing Into effect the provisions of the act
authorizing the maintenance and opera
tion of tugs and pilot boats. The Port of
Portland amendment was attacked on
three grounds: ,
First That the pople of Portland have-
no power under trie constitution to pro
pose and adopt at the polls amendments to
the act Incorporating the Port.
Second That if they have such power it
cannot be exercised except in pursuance of
a general law providing the manner and
method of suh exercise and such law has
not been enacted; and
Third That the law as adopted and now
In question .Is not In fact an amendment to
the act incorporating the Port of Portland,
but la an attempt to confer powers not
germane to or connected with the original.
Upon theae points the Supreme Court
holds that when all the direct legislation
amendments are construed together It
appears that "th manifest purpose, so
far as It concerns the question now under
consideration was to take from the legis
lature and vest in the people the power to
amend municipal charters," though a
strict construction of the language would
limit the amendments In this respect to
cities and towns only. The court also
holds that the act of 1907 putting the In
itiative and referendum into effect as to
municipalities applies to the Port of
Portland and that maintaining tugs and
pilot boats is within the expressed pur
pose "to promote the maritime, shipping
and commercial Interests of the Port of
Portland."
WILL-
PROVIDE
TOWBOATS
Port of Portland to Take Advantage
at Once of Decision.
Under the decision of the State Su
preme Court, rendered yesterday, the
Port of Portland may now proceed to
provide towboats for use in bringing up
from the mouth of the river and taking
down craft to and from Portland. As
soon as bonds are sold, the validity of
which Is affirmed by the court, the Pprt
of Portland will either buy towboats now
in the market or have suitable boats
built for the service.
The Port of Portland Commission ex
pressed much satisfaction over the result
of the court decision, and President Swl
gcrt announced that steps are to be
taken at once to place the bond au
thorized. GATES TAKES WIFE NO. 4
