Claude Clemmons, the prisoner men

posed by the Portland police to be Claude

mysteriously from this city New Year's
day, 19oS, after having struck L.. C. Ruhl,
a white man, but the keeper of a lodging
house for negroes at Seventh and Glisan
streets. The assault occurred the night
of December 30, MOT, a negress witness
ing the blow. From the effects of his
Injury, the aged victim died at one of the
local hospitals several days later. Ruhl's
skull was crushed with the butt of a
revolver.
At the time of the alleged ajtercatlon
between Ruhl and Edmundson, Captaia
Patrick Bruin was In charge of tha de
tective department and a report mado
by a patrolman on the affair was stacked
with minor reports. Ruhl's injury not be
ing regarded as serious. Wlien death re
sulted, the report was taken from the
tiles and search was instituted for Ed
mondson. The patrolman who reported
the assault mentioned him as the prob
able assailant. Edmondson bears a scar
on his cheek and for several days
negroes similarly marked were taken to
police headquarters for identification.
"Within a month all hope of capturing
the fugitive was given up and as far
as the local police were concerned, the
search was abandoned. The negress who
witnessed the death-blow was found after
Ruhl's death. She was subjected to strict
questioning by the police and after sev
eral days' surveillance, was allowed to
leave the city. It is understood at the
police station she Informed Captain
Bruin that Kdmondson struck Buhl In
a tit of anger and that it was not a case
of premeditated murder.
At the recent session of the grand jury
an indictment ' was found against .u
mondson, charging him with murder. It
is prohahle District Attorney Cameron
will draw a warrant for Edmonton's
retention today and obtain extradition
papers for his transportation to Portland

WANTS SHERMAN BRIDGE
Councllmnn Cottol Takes Issue With
Mr. Mftsohan as to City Ibt.
PORTI.A XI. May art. ,To the Editor
In & communication published in lat Fri
OrAmiaji. Air. P fcil Metschan ad
PORTLAND
CRM
vises all voters to "rote no on all bond la
eues. To do otherwise la to attempt to
bankrupt the city."
I take issue" with the writer on thia ques
tion. He overlooks the fact that a large
part of our preaent bonded indebtedness
consists of water bonds,-and that they take
care of themselves. These bonds represent
real property. The $2,700,000 now Invested
and the $3,000,000 voted two year ago,
which will give this city an unlimited sup
ply of the finest water in the world, Ijs the
best-paying property a city can have. If It
were owned by a corporation. It would be
capitalized for $30,000,000 or $40,000,000.
and would be paying a 7 per cent dividend
to the Investors. It belongs to the public,
and Is paying 10 per cent on the invest
ment as now managed. it could be sold
today to a syndicate at a Large profit.
The $500,000 voted for docks, if properly
Invested, will be a source of profit and not
add to the burden of taxation. If the peo
ple of Portland 5 years ago had acquired
the docka or the land on which the docks
are built, the receipts from rentals alone
would now pay a large part of our taxes.
The $1,000,000 voted for parks, if prop
erly invested in real estate; cannot prove a
loss in a progressive city, and if bankruptcy
starea us in the face it can be rep4atted
and sold to horn builders, at an increased
valuation.
Mr. Metschan is afraid if the bridge
amendments carry that these wlU Increase
taxation. The trouble has been in the past
that our bridges have been frail and per
ishable structures, inadequate to the re
quirements of traffic.
The proposed bridge at Sherman street,
with a steel span of 400 feet, the rest of
the structure built of reinforced concrete,
150 feet above mean low water, and strong
enough to carry the Rull Run pipeline,
w-ould last 300 years. Competent engineers
have estimated that it will cost about $1H0
a running foot, or about $750,000. to build.
If so. the bonds will be issued only to the
amount to cover the cost.
If Mr. Metschan and the members of the
Taxpayers' League .who oppose the bridge
will do a little figuring they will see that
there Is no danger of bankruptcy If the
voters want the Sherman-street and the
Broadway-street bridges. The change of
the Madison-street bridge to Market street,
in my opinion, is simply a scheme of a pri
vate corporation to mix up the voters and
defeat the Sherman-street bridge. To
change the location of that bridge means Ir
reparable delay and injustice to that part
of the city.
The Sherman-street bridge will double the
assessed value of not leas than 30O0 lots.
Lots at First and Sherman streets are now
apseased at $3000 per lot. Thia would In
crease the tax roll $9,000,000, and if the
same tax levy were assessed as that re
quired this year, $lK0.OO0 would be col
lected, or enough to pay for the bridge in
eight years, if it cost the full amount of
the bond issue. If one bridge Is built in
the North End and one in the South End
of the city, and the whole $3,000,000 is ex
pended, such a proceeding will tend to cen
tralise the city and preserve the retail dis
trict. San Francisco, a city double the size
of Portland, has three 'times the area in
its business district. On account of railway
terminals, our district cannot extend north
ward. We do not want to shift our busi
ness district to the Columbia River, oven if
we should have a city of millions of people
50 years from now.
I should like to remind Mr. Metschan and
the Taxpayers League and all those who
oppose the bridges that the true pavers of
the taxes are the laborers and the retail
dealers who rent houses and stores Ex
cepting in the business center, where rents
nave advanced in many places 400 per cent,
the advance of rentals has been about 5
per cent. Have the taxes kept pace with
this advance? I think not. If others are in
earnest in their opposition, do a little think
ing and a little figuring, they ,will vote for
two new bridges. Think what the expendi
ture of $.1,500,000 will do for the laborer
and the retailer, and the effect It will have
on rental values. Leave the prosperity of
those directly benefited out of the question.
If Portland is going to be the leading
city of the Pacific Coast, it must find Itself
It must acrape off its moss, must keep its
business center where it Is now There
must be -easy access to it from all direc
tions, and there must not be any delav
Portland must rise to Its possibilities and
necessities. This is a ntrtctly business prop
osition, not a speculation.

Connived at Hiding Books of
Company Wanted by
Grand Jury.
LAWYERS CAN'T ESCAPE
When Accused - as Directors of Vio
lating Law, They Can't Plead
Rights as Lawyers Heinze's
Plan to Hide Books.
NEW YORK, June L George Baglin,
vice-president of the United Copper
Company, was taken to the Tombs
Prison today and must remain there
under an order of Judge Lecomb of the
United States District Court, until miss
ing books of the company, which con
tain evidence in the case of F. Augustus
Helnze are produced. A similar punish
ment hangs over Sanford Robinson; a
prominent director of the company,
whose case will be further considered
by Judge Lacomb tomorrow.
Connived at Removing Books.
Both men are alleged to have permitted
the spiriting away of the books that were
under subpena. Baglin testified before
the grand jury that he had overheard
Robinson and Arthur Heinze conspiring
to remove the books and had interposed
no objection.
"Nothing remains for me to do but to
commit you for contempt." said Judge
Laoomb, after hearing BagHn's admis
sion. "You had no right to stand idly by
while men ' were planning for the re
moval of books wanted in f. grand jury
investigation. An officer or an employe
cannot so act with impunity."
x Lawyers Can't Connive at Crime.
In Robinson" . case, it was shown that
he had refused to testify before the grand
jury regarding his alleged conversation
with one of the Heinze brothers, main
taining that both he ana Heinze were
attorneys for the company and their con
versation was privileged.
Judge Iacomb declined to accept the
plea.
"Members of the bar," he said, "who
choose to become directors or officers of
companies and are accused as directors
of conspiring to violate the law, can
not evade the challenge by claiming to
be members of the bar. If the minutes
of the grand Jury show that the situa
tion is as I now understand It to be, I
shall certainly commit Robinson for con
tempt." If the directors depose F. Augustus
Heinze from the presidency of the com
pany, Mr. Heinze and his brothers, who
are believed to control the stock, may
within three hours, elect a new board
of directors, which will reinstate him
The directors say they are unable to
produce the books while he is president.

pany to bring about the removal of
