Corpse Discovered by Ferryboat Crew Coat, Gloves and Other Articles Complete Identification. SAN" FRANCISCO. Dec. 15. The body Bf Chief of Polica Blgsy, 'who -was Browned from the police launch Patrol pposite Alcatra Island In San Francisco Bay on the night of November 30. was found this morning by the crew of the freight fern-beat Transit. It was float -frig oft Goat Island, face upward, with the arms outstretched. The harbor po nce were at once notified, and. procuring launch. Sergeant Donovan recovered ihe remains. The face Is very much dls ! cured, but the body has been fully iden liried aa that o? the dead chief. When the corpse was taken from the Raters It had on the long coat and (laves worn by Bigicy on the night of is disappearance. The launch with the body landed at the Mission-street wharf. Before the launch with Sergeant Dono van and several police officers on board reached the place where the body was first seen. It had been picked up by the crew of the scow schooner Georgia Woods, who aided In transferring It to the police boat. News of the recovery of the remains spread quickly, and an Im mense crowd assembled at Mission-street wharf, where they were landed. In the presence of Acting Chief Cutler, Chief Deputy Coroner Kennedy and other Officials, a search of the clothing In which the body was attired was made Immediately upon arrival at the morgue. By means of the two badges which Chief Blggy wore, a locket with his monogram, a muffler, stickpin, his police whistle and other articles, the identification was made beyond the shadow of a doubt. The watch which Chief Blggy always carried was stopped at 9:12 o'clock. So far as could be ascertained, there were no papers in the pockets to which any significance could be attached, and it was concluded that if Chief Biggy had a written resignation prepared on the occasion of his visit to Police Commis sioner Hugo Keil at the latter- home in Belvedere, he had disposed of it In some manner before he met his death. Much to the surprise of the searchers, a hammerlcss revolver, with all cham bers loaded, was found in a pocket, not withstanding the fact that the late Chief's pistol was found after his death in a restaurant where be bad dinner on the night of his death. There were no mark of violence on the body, but 'an autopsy will be held to as sist. If possible, in clearing up the man lier of death. The Inquest probably will not be held until next week. GIRL'S DEATH DREAM TRUE Hazel Douglas Has Presentiment and Is Fatally Scalded. MONTESANO. Wash, Deo. IB. (Spe cial.) Miss Hazel Douglas, -who -was so badly burned last Thursday by a coal-oil lamp explosion, died early this morning. The morning before the acclden-t Miss Douglas had a dream that something: was going to happen to her, for about 4 o'clock she woke Miss Kate Scott, whose room she shared, and told her that something awful waa going to happen, and that if It did she wanted to be buried by the side of her mother in California. All day she was nervous and excited over this, and it may have been partly thie that caused the accident. She was a grandniece of Thomas Armstrong, of Westport, who waa her only living relative. Yl CI OFFICER DEPMS MISS COXSTAXCE M'CORKXE LEAVES FOR THE lT. Did Exceptional Work While Here, and Resignation Is Sincere ly Regretted. Miss Constance McCorkle, General Sec retary of the Portland T. W. C. A., has resigned her position and leaves tonight for her home at Harrlsburg, Va. Miss McCorkle was last Summer ap pointed General Secretary of the Rich mond, Va.. Y. W. C. A., but the officers of that organisation gave her the privi lege of remaining with the local Y. W. C. A. until It should be installed in its new quarters. Now that the change has been accomplished Misa McCorkle feels that she is at liberty to withdraw. Much regret has been expressed among members, officers and friends of the association ever since Miss McCorkle's decision became known, although it was realized that her tenure of office was not permanent. Since coming to Port land in1 1904 Miss McCorkle has made for herself a wide circle of devoted friends by reason of her charming personality, exceptional executive ability and untir ing eftorta in behalf of young women. In Miss McCorkle's departure each mem ber of the organization feels that she is losing a personal friend, so intimate and kindly have been the relations between the members and the General Secretary. Miss McCorkle has had a wide experi ence in Y. W. C. A. work. Prior to com ing to Portland in 1904 she was state secretary for the Y. W. C. A. in Mis souri and Colorado. She came to Port land, to assume the position of State Sec retary. A year later she was placed in charge of the Y. W. C. A. work at the Lewis and Clark Fair. At the close of the Exposition she accepted the posi tion of General Secretary of the local association for the purpose of assisting in the campaign for its building. Much of the success of that undertaking, it is freely conceded, was due to her efforts. Miss McCorkle is succeeded by Miss Mary B. Day, formerly General Secre tary of the Bellingham, Wash., Y. W. C. A. Federal Building Site Selected. IA GRANDE, Or., Dec. 15. (Special.) Official notice reached here tonight that the J. M.

Racinur Exhibit purses premiums 10. 101). 00 Legislature Asked to Provide More Money for Premiums Otuer Requests of Board. SALEM, Or., Dec. 15. (Special.) The annual report of Secretary F. A. Welch, of the State Board of Agriculture, made public today, shows that-the operating receipts for the State Fair of 1908 were $45,114.47, as compared with $36,375.55 for 1907. and $19,240.56 for 1902. an in crease of 25 per cent over last year and 100 per cent over six years ago. The operating receipts were chiefly from the following sources: Gate receipts i23.47l.10 Race entries J 1.475. . Ground rent and license .i.6G.:i Exhibit entries i.98'..JU These, with the state appropriation of $10,000 for exhibit premiums, make a total income of $55,114.47. The expenditures were: Maintenance and operation $17,697.42 Total $51,900.07 There is still due the Board from horsemen $4633, which, when collected, will leave the 1908 fair $7756 to the good. The Board went in debt to Ladd & Bush $6249.40 for money with which to make permanent Improvements, and asks the Legislature to appropriate money to pay o(T this debt. The ex hibit premiums paid exceeding the ap propriation by $5000, and the Legisla ture is asked to increase the appropria tion accordingly. Further improvements asked for lira that the Oregon building at Seattle be moved to the state fairgrounds; that a new secretary's office bulldins be erect ed; that a stock-Judging arena, an ex tended water system, drainage system, drinking fountains, shrubbery and new toilets be provided. No definite amounts are asked for these purposes. TEA Take a little more care about tea; it's worth it. Yoar f roeer return ?ovr money If fa tfoa'l like Schilling Beit; ft? fclou
