Day Set Aside for Those Who
Use Automobiles Brings
Out Record Crowd.
ENTHUSIASM IS RAMPANT
Agents Kelnforced by Owners in
TelUng Good Points of Various
Makes Society Will Attend
the Display Tonight.
BY W. J. PETRAIK.
Owners' day at the Portland Automo
bile show easily outshone all previous
nlfrhts In point of attendance, end as for
enthusiasm well there, is no discount
ing the earnestness exhibited by tho vis
itors in examining the merits of each car
as pointed out by the agents and their
representatives. Very few people at
tending the auto show miss any of tho
many makes of machines that are on
exhibition, and while more attention is
paid to the better known cars, all have
been closely inspected.
The fact that the show has proven a
medium for the sale of a large number
of cars indicates that it has been a suc
cess not only from the viewpoint of the
Portland Automobile Club, but also from
the standpoint of the automobile dealer
who has hia wares to sell. In fact, it is
the unanimous verdict of the dealers
themselves, local and visiting, that the
Portland show has far surpassed all
their expectations, and they are not spar
: ing in their praise for Will F. Lipman
and his assistants of the Portland Auto
; mobile Club for the success of the exhi
bition. Howard M. Covey, Fred A. Bennett,
j Harry L. Keats, C. A. Eastman of the
White Steamer agency at San Francisco,
: Harry Burgess. A. A. Graham, E. E.
Cohn and other exhibitors are unstinted
in their praise of the show and the man
ner In which it is being conducted.
Last night an especially brilliant musi
cal programme was rendered by Chrls
tensen's orchestra, and many an enthus
iastic examination of a large and com
- modious touring car was interrupted by
; the musicians striking up some choice
selection. During the rendition of some
of the classics the throngs stood quietly
listening to the pleasing strains until
the piece had been concluded, whereupon
vigorous handclapping was in order.
French Car Attracts Notice.
"Guaranteed for life," 19 the sign that
hangs over the French Renault car, and
even though the sign itself attracted an
unusual amount of attention, the fact
that the great big strong looking tour
ing car is the only "foreigner" in the
show was enough to cause it to be the
center of an admiring group at all times.
This car is the highest priced vehicle
in the show, and Is shown in the berth
of the Fred A. Bennett Auto Company,
which concern is the Portland agent.
Tho Renault Is heing shown to all vis
itors by Rene J. Marx, of San Francisco,
who acts as general agent for this par
ticular make on the Pacific Coast.
Contrasted alongside the little Reo run
about which occupies the adjoining booth,
the Renault reminds one of the compari
son of the elephant to the fox terrier.
According to Mr. Marx it Is hoped to
have equal success in making the Renault
as much a favorite in Portland as It is in
San Francisco. I. W. Hellman. of the
Union Trust Company. James Flood and
W. F. Herrin, the latter E. H. Harri
man's confidential adviser, are all owners
of one or more Renault cars in Ban
Francisco. Mr. Marx also says that the
Renault Company is establishing a taxi
cab system in San Francisco on the same
scale as in operation in New Tork and
Chicago. It is also quite likely that a
"taxi" system will be established In Port
land as soon as the required number of
cars can be manufactured and shipped
to this country.
E. EX Cohn, manager of the Portland
agency for the Maxwell car, was in a
most cheerful mood yesterday. Public In
terest in the Maxwell exhibit together
with the fact tnat several important sales
were recorded. Among those who have
purchased Maxwells is Judge A. I,. Miller
of Vancouver, "Wash., who bought a 30-horse-power
maxwell touring car for the
use of himself ana family at the thriving
city across the Columbia. Dr. D. S. Wis
wall of the Washington city also pur
chased a Maxwell car, his selection being
a 14-horse-power runabout. Dr. Ralph
Matson of this city is another physician
attracted to the Maxwell, and like Dr.
Wlswall. he chose a runabout. Attorney
George W. Stapleton also selected a Max
well touring car.
Shows Handsome, I-andaiilet.
Mrs. I. N. Flelschner's Packard 18 lan
daulet is one of the handsomest vehicles
at the show. This car, from Its unique
style and splendid finishings is attracting
unusual attention. It is on exhibition in
the display of the Harry U Keats Com
pany, which concern W the Portland
agent for this car, as well as a number
of other makes. Sales Agent King of
the Keats Company, takes a keen delight
... u u us me spiennia landaulet with
the neat little Baker electric vehicle at
the other end of the exhibit space.
On display at the Keats hooth is also
Elliott Corbett's green upholstered, battleship-gray
colored, speedy Pope-Hartford
runabout. This car is vying with
H. W. Manning's trim-looking Pope
Hartford, equipped with ponv tonneau
Both cars -are elegantly finished and are
gazed upon longingly by admiring
throngs.
A car that has hitherto been overlooked
in a measure, but which Is really a most
attractive vehicle as well as being one
that possesses a numher of meritorious
points, is the Sclden 1909 model 30-horse-power
touring car. a' five-passenger
touring car splendidly finished and pos
sessing all of the modern improvements
has been sold to Miss Izetta Jewel, the
clever and charming leading woman of
the Baker Stock Company. Miss Jewel
is an enthusiastic automobillst and de
lights in guiding her car about the city
streets, at which feat she is quite adept.
Miss Jewel takes a personal pride in her
well-appointed car, and consented for it
to be shown at the Portland show. Her
ear can easily be distinguished, as her
initials are neatly engraved on the sides,
and it is usually pointed out by the
agents as the car owned by Miss Jewel.
The Sedlen car is unique for the reason
that it is equipped with a large steering
wheel, making It comparatively easy or
guidance. This car is manufactured by
and bears the name of the in
ventor of the first gasoline engine,
'and. accorulng to A. A. Graham, Port
land agent for this car, as well as the
Stevens-Duryea, Selden still receives a
royalty on the majority of gasoline en
gines manufactured.
White Steamer Shows Clips.
An attractive feature of the exhibit of
the White Steamer machines is the ar
ray of cups won in road races and high
climblng contests by cars of this make
on the Pacific Coast. The display com
prises a number of beautiful and expen
sive cups, which are pointed to with
pride by the agents of the company in
charge of the booth. Forrest C. Smith
son, the world's championship hurdler,
is a demonstrator for the White Steamer
Company, says ho has been working 18
and 20 hours a day since the auto show
opened, and adds that the show cannot
come to an end too quickly for him.
Bmmett Thomas, tho "genial host" at
the booth of tho Winton Six booth, con
tinues to be swamped with anxious in
quiries about his entry. The "self-starting"
device of the Winton Six seems to
have become very thoroughly advertised
through the show, and nearly all vis
itors make it a point to have this system
shown them while they are making the
rounds of the different machines. Mr.
Thomas recently came to Portland to In
stall a Winton agency, and he expresses
himself as delighted with the aspect of
Portland's possibilities from an automo
bile point of view.
Cadillac Man Praises Show.
Howard M. Covey, of Cadillac racing
fame, and who is one of the pioneer
dealers In Portland, has been so busy
demonstrating his cars that he does not
have much time to devote to the show
itself. His -exhibit is in the hands of
competent assistants and all applicants
for demonstrations are referred by them
to Mr. Covey and his corps of capable
chauffeurs, who take care of tho prospec
tive buyers in their customary agreeable
manner. "This show will prove a splen
did boom for the automobile business In
Portland," said Mr. Covey yesterday. "I

exhibition that it Is without any doubt

the show could have been made much
larger, but no one even realized when it
was first proposed that it -would be any

able management of Will Lipman and
his associates."
Mr. Covey is the Portland agent for
the Cadillac and Pierce Great Arrow.
Both cars are familiar to tho people of
Portland and are known as serviceable
in every particular.
The Crowe Automobile Company,
through Harry A. Burgess, announces the
sale of a 90 horse-power Stearns racing
car to J. B. Yeon, ono of Portland's most
enthusiastic autoists. Mr. Yeon took a
gTeat Interest in the road races last June
and his purchase of this racing car prob
ably means that he will try for ono of
the prizes himself.
E. A. King and Oliver JefTrles are also
listed among the purchasers of Stearns
cars, each having selected touring cars.
W. B. Stevens has secured a 30 horse
power Overland roadster.
Tomorrow night will bo society night
at the automobile show, and this feature
promises to throng the Armory to its
capacity. Added musical attractions will
bo in order and one of tho feature nights
of the show Is forecasted.
Musical Young Ladies'
Club at Heilig
THEl Musical Young Ladles' Club of
Portland gave a most satisfactory
and artlstlo concert last evening at tho
HelHg Theater. The membership of this
club, which was organized last Decem
ber, consists of talented young women,
whose object is the promotion of musical
interests. Any girl of musical ability,
in vocal or Instrumental, Is eligible
to membership. Besides the study of
Italian and choral work the club is syste
matic in its reading, reviewing and dis
cussion of musical matters at their fort
nightly meetings. Of Interest Is the fact
that a free social scholarship haa been
offered by the club, information regard
ing which may be obtained from tho
members or patronesses.
The concert last evening marked the
first public appearance of tho club. Die
Schonste Blume Quartet, composed of
Misses Gwendolyn Kofoed, Mary Mac
kenzie Cahill, Bertha Masters and Har
riet Johnson were most pleasing in their
several numbers, and their fresh young
well-trained voices were remarkably
blended and balanced.
Miss Leucre Gregory's violin selections
were well .received, and Miss Margaret
Smith, a new arrival in musical Port
land, received an ovation on her piano
numbers.
Special mention needs be made of Miss
Harriet Johnson's marvelous contralto
voice. This appearance may be con
sidered as 'Miss Johnson's debut, and
her voice, which has an easy range of
throe octaves, shows splendid cultiva
tion and power. Her numbers, "Wach
Saville," from Dessauer, "Xinon," from
Toertl, and "Rock Me to Sleep," by Jules
Gordon, were enthusiastically encored.
An additional feature was lent by tho
appearance of the Schubert Quartet. In
several pleasing numbers. The quartet
consists of Blanche Irbe Kofoed, Del
phino Mook-Mark. Harriet Blade Roberts
and Harriet Johnson.
Miss Laura Fox was the accompanyist
for tho evening. The patronesses were
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, Mrs. Holt C.
Wilson. Mrs. G. F. Johnson, Miss Henri
etta E. Falling. Mrs. Blanche Irbe Ko
foed. Mrs. W. Y. Masters. Mrs. Fred

cbem as chairman and secretary, respec
tively. Forty-five of the 90 members of
the committee attended the meeting.
whioh was held in the Solllng-Hirsch
iQuuaiig. Another meeting will bo held
in tho same hall next Wednesday night,
when a report on rules and temporary
organization will be received from a com
mittee of 10, which was appointed last
night. This committee consists of one
member from each of the 10 wards in
the city, as follows: First. Charles Con
roy; Second. A. W. Allen; Third. C. B.
Look wood; Fourth, McKlnley Mitchell;
Fifth, F. PI Beach; Sixth, C. H. Feldman;
Seventh, J. . F. Kertchem; Eighth, H. B.
Dickinson: Ninth. A. B. Manley; Tenth,
E. L. Shaefer. The committee will hold
a meeting at 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon. Memoers of the committee, who are
friends .of Bourne, had the upper hand
in soma of the more important proceed
ings of the meeting. Among them were
J. Frank Sipnott. W. E. Williamson and
C B. Merrick. Their first victory came
In the selection of Major Kennedy as
chairman. Kennedy was nominated by
W. M. Cake after F. E. Beach, J. T.
Gregg and Mr. Cake himself had de
clined the Job. Later, on motion of C.
H. Meusdorffer, Jr.. the resolution de
claring for a city convention, -which was
adopiid at tha mass meeting a week be
fore, was tabled before its supporters
realizxl what had happened or had an
opportunity to speak in its behalf.
Convention Will Be Held.
Tho action of the committee in tabling
tha resolution proposing a city conven
tion will not defeat the purpose of hold
ing such an assemblage. The resolution
was threshed out and adopted at a mass
meeting of probably 200 members of the
party at a prior meeting and last night s
action will not operate to rescind that
expression, according to those members
of the party who are contending for a
convention. ,
The meeting was an incessant wrangle
from beginning to end. the cause of dis
sension being the question of whether or
not. under the provisions of tho direct
primary law, tho City Central Committee
could effect a permanent organization
prior to the time the party's candidates
had been selected in the primary nomin
ating election. State Senator 9. C. Beach,
J. F. Kertchem. H. B. Dickinson, and Mc-
Kinley Mitchell contended there is noth
ing in the primary law to prevent such
an organization, either before or after
tho candidates had been nominated. 1L
W. Hinch, A. J. Fanno. C. K. Lockwood,
L. E. Crouch, W. E. Williamson. J.
Frank 6lnnott, an.. Sanderson Reed took
an opposite view and Insisted that tho
committee should be slow to take any
step mat would not he in harmony with
tno provisions of the primary law. How
ever, tho committee, on motion of Sena
tor Beach, decided by a vote of 32 to 10
to effect a temporary organization of tho
committee. ,
In order to Insure a regularly called
meeting of the-committee for next Wed
nesday night, a. call for such ameetlng
aonressen to . nairman Kennedy, was
signed by ten of tho committeemen be
fore the audience left the hall. Under
tho primary law. when ten members of
me L-entral commljteo request tho chair
man to call a meeting. It Is reoulred t
be held and Is considered entirely reg
ular.
'Candidates on the Alert.
While it Is generally known that a
small army of candidates Is in the field
for each of tho offices to bo filled in
the municipal election next June, not one
of these aspirant has filed a formal
decraratlon that he Is seeking office.
At this time two years ago. practically
every candidate had filed with the City
Auditor official notice of his candidacy
and had begun the organization of his
campaign. The tardiness of candidates in
announcing themselves this year is be
lieved to, be due to the fact that the
anxious ones are waiting to see what
action the proposed Republican city con
vention will take. Not that all of tho
would-be candidates expect to go before
that convention and take chances of re
ceiving its indorsement, because it is
known that some of them will become in
dependent candidates against the candi
dates recommended rv the convention, re
gardless of who they may be.
It is not probable, however, that all of
these candidates win refrain from com
ing before the public much longer. Tho
convention will not be held until Satur
day, April 9. Since tho primary election
is to bo held May 8, this would leave
only a month for campaign work and
the average candidate desires more tlmo
in which to organize his strength. Fur
thermore, It is required under the direct
primary law that all candidates must
file their declaration of candidacy on or
before April 23. For these reasons it is
doubtful if the men who are working for
tho convention will be able to hold tho
anxious ones from announcing their can
didacy until the party by its conven
tion rormally can select and recommend
to the voters the men best qualified for
the various ofices to he filled.
State Senator A. A. Bailey is the first
Republican to announce his candidacy for
tho party's nomination for Mayor. H
made such an announcement yesterday.
Senator Bailey having set tho pace, other
candidates for this nomination are ex
pected to follow stilt and formally an
nounce themselves during the next few
days.
WALKER 15 ELECTED
POrCIATt FOOTBALL MAX IS
cixb sn'iaiiTi;.vi)KT.
Multnomah Trustees Choose Well-
Known Tackle to Fill lie
sponsible Tosition.
Dow V. Walker, the giant tackle of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club's foot
ball teams of 19n7 and 1908, and who.
previous to that time, was the main
stay of the elevens of tho Oregon Agri
cultural College during his college days,
was last night unanimously elected super
intendent of the Multnomah Club by tho
board of trustees.
The selection of Dow Walker meets with
tho approval of the entire club, for he has
been one of tho most popular members
of the Institution for a number of years.
He was chosen superintendent because of
his business ability and well-known in
tegrity. For a young man. Mr. Walker
has shown himself well fitted for the re
sponsibilities which he now undertakes.
For two years he has been In the em
ploy of the North Pacific Terminal Com
pany, having aisen from the. position of
baggage-smasher" to that of cashier and
assistant manager of the baggage de
partment. All his friends are heartily
congratulating him upon his selection as
superintendent of the splendidly appointed
club, and all are equally sincere in ex
pressing the belief that that Important
position will be ably filled.
As an athlete, Dow Walker had few
superiors in the Pacific Northwest. His
many feats on the gridiron demonstrated
him to bo ono of tho greatest "big men"
who ever donn.d a football uniform In
the Northwest. As a member of tho
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club eleven.
he proved himself a most welcome addi
tion on many a hard-fought field. De
spite his appointment to the new posi
tion, while it offers a splendid opportun
ity to so young a man. there Is a slight
feeling of regret because it means
Walker's retirement from active partici
pation in athletics as far as open com pe
nnons are concerned. This regret, how
ever. Is offset by tho fact that his cheerv
disposition and splendid personality will
oe witn me ciuomen at all times.
In addition to the appointment of Dow
Walker, the trustees decided to equip
the baseball so.uad thoroughly. Manager
Cass Campbell was given authority to
purchase tho needed outfit for tho base
ball squad and he anticipates tho most
successful season in the history of the
club. Something like 20 players have
so far signified their candidacy for places
on the team, and more than this number
are expected to attend tho baseball
meeting to bo held at tho club tonight,
when a captain of tho team will bo
elected.
In order to permit the women of oho
club to enjoy dally practice on the ten
nis courts, it was decided to open tho
courts to their exclusive use In tho
mornings. This means that as soon as
tho weather is more settled, there will
bo a representative number of tho
women tennis players at work perfect
ing' their style of play preparatory to
the opening of the season.
The trustees also voted to sanction a
"wrestling meet bet-ween the grapplers of
tho club and those representing tho
"Washington State College of Pullman,
Wash. This means that the clever
wrestlers of the Washington Institution
will bo seen lu competition with tho pu
pils of Eddie O'Connell in Portland on
April 19. Wrestling now forms a part of
the athletics of all the Northwestern in
stitutions, and in the near future there
promises to bo somo lively tournaments
arranged between the different clubs and
colleges.
YOUNG GIRL TAKES POISON
Alice Sharp, Strangely Missing;, Re
turns to Home.
Believed to havo been worrying over a
heart affair, and while her parents were
conducting a search for her outside tho
city. Alice Sharp, aged 18. daughter of W.
J. Sharp, residing at the head of Jeffer
son street, was found suffering from tho
effects of poison in tho rear of tho family
residence yesterday.
It is thought that Miss Sharp at first
left tno city, as ..er parents surmised
and that later she returned and in despair
attempted to end her life. At a late hour
last night, she was believed to be out
or danger.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
E
DuliBL
KILLING
Authorities Are at Loss to Find
Solution of Manner of
Men's Death.
NO THEORY HOLDS WATER
Physicians Maintain Men Could Xot
Have Killed Each Other, Motive
for Murder by Others Ab
solutely Wanting.
Never before havo tho authorities been
confronted by so complete a mystery as
that which now attaches Itself to tho
death of Oscar Hiett and John Dale,
whoso bodies were found by HIett's wife
Monday morning at a hunting preserve
on the Columbia Slough.
Continued Investigation all day yester
day only deepened the mystery. Not a
single circumstance could be explained
away. Additional light was secured on
the manner in which HIett's death must
havo occurred. But every theory ad
vanced as to how both men lost their
lives met with somo insurmountable ob
stacle. Tho additional investigation tended to
strengthen tho original belief that tho
men killed each other, but this was
blasted by reiteration by medical experts
that tho wounds of tho two men wore
such that neither could have mads a
voluntary motion after being struck.
Fo.- tho two men to have killed each
other it is necessary that Dale should
havo fired on Hiett first. Tho distance
of firing was not less than 15 feet. Hiett
would havo been dead before Dale could
have reached him. This opinion Is ad
hered to by Drs. C. J. McCusker and F.
H. Dammasch. These doctors railed in
consultation during tho afternoon Dr.
William House, tho foremowt authority of
the West and ono of the leaders of the
profession on tho brain and nerves. Af
ter a careful examination of HIett's
brain. Dr. House said it was highly Im
probable that tho young man ever moved
voluntarily after being shot.
Co ti Id Xot Have Taken Step.
"We found that the small shot crossed
the brain almost on a straight lino from
a point a half inch above the ear," said
Dr. House. "There was a hole straight
through tho cruri. Tho shot, after pass
ing through tho brain from the light
side rebounded from the skull on tho
left side and we found It lodged In the
brain a half inch from tho skull. In
going through tho cruri tho pellet tore
a third of the fibres. I do not believe
it would have been possible for the
man to havo taken a step voluntarily af
ter that."
In order that the results of tho in
vestigation thus far may be summarized
and brought together, an Inquest will
be held this morning at 10 o'clock at the
canning, McEnteo & Ollbaugh undertak
ing establishment. All those who havo
information bearing on the case will be
called. Including tho medical experts. Re
latives or Hiett, Including his wife and
Mrs. HIett's relatives have been sub-
penaed by Deputy Coroner Dunning.
All yesterday afternoon was snent on
tho hunting preserve where the tracodv
occurred by Deputy Sheriff Archie Leon
ard and Deputy Coroner Dunning, who
have been hard at work on, the case
since the finding of tha bodies' was first
reported. They were not able to find anv
evidence that robbery could have been
tne motive or murder.
In fact any motive seems to bo utterly
lacking unless it was that of revenue and
thus far no one Is known of n-hn k.u -
"bitter enmity for the two men or for
eitner or mem. Ono of tho two shotguns
that were reported missing from the place
was located yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Leonard. It had been left by Dale in
a North End rooming house where tho
man owed considerable money. One
shotgun is yet missing but since Dale
made away with ono It is likely he dis
posed of both, his watch probably went
the same route. Many articles more val
uable than tho cheap silver -watch ho
wore were left behind at tho cabin in
front of which tho bodies were round.
Every theory put forward by the' of
ficers and by others develops a flaw
when all tho facts of the case are pre
sented. The two men couldn't have
killed each other simultaneously, for tho
reason that Hiett was shot from a dis
tance. Dale couldn't have Inflicted such
a wound on himself with an ax after
killing HIntt. There couldn't have been
any-c.uarrel with poachers or enemies,
as Hiett was plainly caught unawares
and shot through the sid.i of the head.
One thing was established beyond "al!
doubt by the officers, which Is that the
shot was fired from in front of the club
house. Severa: shots from the shotgun
used in the tragedy were necessary to
determine this. The pattern of the charge
was found to have a diameter of nine
inches at a range of 25 feet. With tho
point given where the shot struck in the
brusn. low down, plus the position Hiett
must have stood In ajid the range of the
assassin as determined by tho way the
gun patterned on HIett's head It was a
comparatively simple problem in geom
etry to estimate the murderer's position.
Tho two newest theories are that Th1
killed Jilott because of tho lifferences
Dexwx?en tno men and that he wm thon
In turn killed by someone incensed by
the first crime.
The officers will make a detailed in
quiry into the movements of everyone
wno mignt nave nal a close Interest In
HIett's welfare. Tho second theory
that one of tho men was killed bv an
assassin -who was interrupted by the
otner man and who then thought It
necessary to cover up the first crime by
wl u:ingfxous witness.

this county upon reading tho startling
news of the double murder of John Dale

Portland. Sunday. Dale was well known
at Altoona. this county, where up to two
years ago he had engaged in glllnetting
on the Columbia River. Hiett was his
boatpuller for several seasons. Dale's
characteristics were an exceptional fond
