Insane Jealousy appear to fcave pos sessed Hassing for a long time before t'i tragedy. He was recently a party In two assault and battery cases In Mil waukle. not connected with the present case, and waa before the Justice court there upon the complaint of the neigh bora that he had beaten his wife until lier screams disturbed the community. It la alleged that prior to that time he l.ad thrown a knife at his wife when they lived In San Francisco. Divorce proceedings were In progress at Oregon City at the time of the murder of Mrs. Hassing. The husband had en listed the services . of Attorney I. C. llackay. but the lawyer, after looking Into the conduct of nla client, was forced to refuse to handle his case. Mackay was also solicited to defend Hassing upon his recent appearance in Municipal Court, but refused, say leg that the man was Indefensible. Hassing lies at St. Vincent"! Hospital In a precarious condition from his two s!f-lnfUctd wounds, but It Is believed taat he will recover to stand trial for the murder of his wife. There was much comment yesterday over the tragedy, coming so soon after the acquittal of A. M. Richardson and the escape with a light sentence of H. M. Lambert, both of whom committed acta similar to Hasslng"s. under th In fluence of Jealousy. There Is every ap pearance that Hassing was encouraged or the results of these trials. It Is thought Improbable, however, that lie can present an Insanity defense when he goes to trial, as his associates say that he appeared to be a man of normal mind except for his Jealousy. Those who know the principals In the shoot ing say Hasslng's suspicions of Ms wife's conduct were groundless. Kxclted remarks dropped by Ello Iledman. a brother of the murdered woman, will prooably bring him before the court to answer to a charge of the same nature as that which he blames the authorities for not pressing against Hassing. livdman is quoted as saying that they must either bang Hassing of himself. DOG SET UPON MESSENGER Women Accused or Inciting Vicious Assault. Terribly lacerated by the teeth of a vicious bulldog and bruised by blows from a club. Joseph Van Volelen. a de livery boy. was taken to the police station yesterday morning, where he charged Mrs. George Simpson, of the notorious Kagle House. Third and Kurnslile streets, and Mrs. Charles Os wald with Instigating the dog's at tack. . Van Volelen. who Is employed by a cleaning works, was sent to deliver a package at the Kagle House . and to collect $1.70 charges. The women said that the bill was too high and refused to pay It or to return the package. W hen the boy Insisted, he was set upon with a club, he savs. and the dog was urged upon him. The brute seised him by the arm and mangled the flesh fear fully, beside biting other parts of the boys person. With the dog hanging to him. the boy fled to the entrance, where passing men assisted him la driving off the animal. Ieathly pale and suffering agonies. Van Volelen submitted to the cauteri zation and dressing of his wounds by Ur. Rises, and then swore to a com plaint drawn by Deputy District Attor ney Hennessy. charging the women with assault. They were arrested yes terday afternoon. MUCH LIQUOR IS SEIZED Utacada Ilald on "Ulind rigs" Yields Four Wagonloads. KSTACADA. Or.. Nov. 15. (Special. The raid by Sheriff Beatle and his dep uties yesterday on so-called "soft drink" establishments yielded four wagonloads of beer and whiskey. The four men ar rested are held in '0 ball each. That liquor wa! being sold in Kstacada In violation of the local option law which obtains here, has been known for sne time, but all efforts by local offi cials to locate the Illicit dealers seemed to be rain. The work for the past sev eral weeks of the detectives employed Jot the purpose of running down the viola tors of the law brought out evidence that was bevond question, and the raid hy Sheriff Beatle and his posse yester day followed, with the result that the blgeest stock of liquors ever seised on a similar raid In local option districts In Oregon came Into the hands of the of ficials. DEATH C0MES SUDDENLY Mrs. Morrl Mark! Sinks Down on Way Home From VIIU While on the way home from the residence of a daughter.

Kfforts to have the plumbing Inspec tor transferred from the Health Iepart ment to the Building Inspectors Depart ment have aroused considerable opposi tion on the part of the health officials, but wjiether the present fight Is to be brought to nn early end depends largely on Uio opinion of thn City Attorney, who was asked by the health and police committee of too Council at a meeting yesterday morning to determine whether the charter would permit the proposed change. Members of the Board of Health who were present at the meeting yesterday morning argued that if the plumbing in spector were taken away from their Jurisdiction. It would make It necessary for them to employ plumbing Inspectors to aid In determining sanitary condi tions. They presented letters from 84 cities of the I'nlted States, In which it was aald that of that number 77 cities combined the plumbing inspector with the health department. The hulldlnr inspector asks that the plumbing Inspector be assigned to his department to facilitate the Inspection of buildings. The plumbing Inspector, how ever, it was pointed out. would have no authority to enforce plumbing regu lations If aeparated from the health de partment, which at present enforces his rulings. It was also called to the attention of the committee that the present plumb ing law is not efficient and Is not easily enforced. To correct this, the health and notice committee appointed a spe cial committee to prepare a new plumb ing law. In addition to the plumbing n.i huildlnc- Inspectors, the special com mittee Includes Charles tMerke, a sani tary engineer. To receive the report from the City Attorney concerning the right of the Council to change the plumbing lnspec toe from the health department to that of the building Inspector, the health and police committee will hold a special meeting next Friday. BARTENDER IS FINED $35 SERVING LIQUOR TO MAX AL READY DRUNK IS CHARGE. First Conviction In Many Years Is Expected to Accomplish Much In Way of Reform. For selling liquor to a man already drunk. Mike Gravltx, a North Knd sa- loonkeeDcr. was fined $3S In Municipal Court yesterday morning. The convic tion is said to be the first under this ordinance in many years. If not in the history of the city. The ordinance Is of long standing. but was wholly disregarded until a few days ago. when Judge Taxwell. Im pressed by the disgraceful spectacles presented .to him every morning, brought It to light and demanded that the police act under its provisions. Chief Cox Joined heartily In the move ment and Issued instructions to all of ficers to arrest any saloonkeeper found selling liquor to a maa who was ob viously drunk. Patrolmen Burrl and Johnson, patrol Ing the Burnslde-street district, were the first to observe a flagrant infrac tion of the ordinance. They went Into Gravltx' saloon and were approached by a boisterous customer, who had to be repressed violently by his compan ions to keep him from being arrested. Immediately thereafter the customer stepped up to the bar and was served with more liquor. Gravltx was ar rested. Notice lias been served on all saloon keepers that they will be held airlctly accountable under the ordinance and most of them have pledged themselves to obedience. The matter probably will be taken up with the Home Ilule Asso ciation and be made a subject for ac tion by that body. It Is believed by Judge Taxwell and Chief Cox that a strict enforcement of the ordinance will work effectively In regulating the sa loons. Already there has been a no ticeable diminution of the number of "drunk cases" from the North Knd. BOYS ATTEND CONFERENCE Nineteen Youths Representing Or ganizations In Eugene Here.

MALARKEY BACKS MOVE Measnre Will Be Modeled Arter New York Law Though Division or State In Districts Will Ho Omitted. The doctrine that the public has an interest in the use of the property of corporations engaged In a public serv ice Is to be whipped Into shape by Dan J. Malarkey. Senator from Multnomah County, and a bill creating a Publlo Service Commission Is to be Introduced In the session of the" Oregon Legisla ture, which will convene at the state capital early In January. The act will be one of the first measures presented for the consideration of the Senate, and will provide means for the regulation of Btreetcar transportation. power, light, water, telegraph, telephone nd all other corporations selling their goods to the peoplo while making use of some of the property of the people. The bill will be modeled somewhat after the law now In operation In the State of New York, but It is not In tended to divide the state into dis tricts. Hill to Be State-Wide. By making the bill state-wide In Its application. Senator Malarkey hopes to secure the support of those who are now advocating the creation of a Pub lic Service Commission for Portland, and who have threatened to secure a law by Initiative at the next city elec tion. Senator Malarkey Is now engaged In securing the views of well-known citi zens as to the best method of making the law efficient, but Instead of creat ing an entirely new commission the Senator is inclined to favor the views advanced by the committee represent ing the Irvlngton Push Club, of w hich Walter H. Evans is chairman, and which favors amplifying the powers of the State Railroad Commission and giving that body Jurisdiction over all public utility companies. Governor-elect West is quoted as fa voring the latter plan, as against a new commission. Mr. West has said that the Railroad Commissioners have plenty of time to care for the addi tional duties, and the exoense of ad ministration would be minimized. He Is said to believe that the employment of a few experts to gather the data would enable the Railroad Commis sioners to act as a publlo service com mission, and that the administration of railroad problems and those arising from the new law are so closely allied as to be best handled without a con flict between boards. Itcgnlatlon Authority Proposed. Senator Malarkey, however, an nounces as certain that the law will clothe the "commission with authority to regulate many of the things now complained of by .the people of Port land and the state: will confer power to Issue orders, provide a severe pen alty for failure to comply and will confer Jurisdiction an the courts to en force the penalties. It Is also probable that the publicity feature of the New Y'ork law will be Incorporated Into the proposed statute, requiring all public utility corpora tions to submit statements of the en tire business for publication In the an nual report of the commission. "The Public Service Commission bill will be Introduced In the next Legis lature In compliance with a demand from the people of the entire state." said Senator Malarkey yesterday. "In canvassing the state recently I found that other cities of smaller slxe than Portland, but entitled to a measure of relief Just the same as this city, were as strong for such a measure as were the people of this city. "It Is also well known that Mr. Dan Kellaher. Ben Rtesland and a large number or other citizens have been planning to secure such a commission at the next city election. I hope to combine all these elements upon a sat isfactory bill and will be glad to co operate with them. Opposition Is Expected. "I believe that the progress of the bill through the legislative bodies will be blockaded at every turn by repre sentative of the utility corporations It will be Intended to reach, but the time lias come. In my opinion, when the rights of the people shall be deter mined. It might Just as well be fought out now as1 some other time. A law can be enacted that will give the pa trons of street cars adequate service In consideration of the use of the streets, without decreasing the earn ings of the companies below a reason able rate of Interest. -Power compa nies can be required to make reason able rates, gas rates can be regulated and a system of meter Inspection es tablished that will be of benefit to both the companies and the consumers. "I cannot now say what the entire scope of the bill will be, but it Is fair to everybody concerned to understand what we are endeavoring to accom plish. "Personally, I am Inclined to favor placing these duties In the hands or the State Railroad Commission. There are not such a number of railroads In the state, or such an enormous amount of mileage, or a multiplicity of sched ules that the Commissioners will be prevented handling this business. The employment of extra clerical help and experts would probably be less expen sive than the maintenance of a new organisation. However, my mind Is not fixed In that direction and I am In a receptive mood concerning the bill." Good Things in Markets BT LILIAN TINGLE Planning for the meals immediately after Thanksgiving is not always the easv matter that some people seem to think it. It Is all very well to say .i 1. A tnrlrev' hut even hashed impii u . -- . turkey comes to an end. and often leaves behlna it. it noi inainniiuui least that perverse state of mind or bolyin which "holiday dainties" have lost a good deal of their Interest, and "ordinary" dishes seem plainer by force of contrast. Anyway, that is how one housekeeper waa lamenting yesterday; and I .suppose, there are others. But for those who still have deslro for turkey dinners, there are still good birds to be had, at moderate prices. Fresh killed "fancy stock" sell at 30 cents a pound: but cold storage left overs, in good condition, can be had a . r. ...nil a noiinri. at which price they are really cheaper than Chicken, tnougn cmcaen is ilor NS usual, at IS to 22 cents a pound. Ducks and geese also have been affected by the drop In turkey prices, and are to be had at 10 to 25 cents a pound. The supply of game Is not so good as It was earlier In the week, but wild geese, teal, widgeon, mallards and snipe are still available. In the fish market salmon and hali but, those twin "standbys" of Portland housekeepers, are most abundant, the fish list being somewhat shorter than usual. Black cod. tom-cod. smelt and flounder cost 10 cents a pound; sole and catfish 13 cents. The holiday dis plays of cured fish, in many varieties, and of an Incredible number of differ ent cheeses, offer tempting "snacks" for any unfortunate person who has lost Interest in "square meals." Vegetables are good, plentiful and Inexpensive, the cabbage family, the squash family, nnd the celery family being leaders. Very good artichokes are in just now. Chicory, too. is of good quality, and is an excellent "cleanser of the palate," to use a favorite phrase of old style gourmets. Grape fruit seems to be In good de mand this week, and can be had, in various sizes and qualities, from 5 to 15 cents each. Oranges are coming more into prominence, and cost 20 to 50 cents a dozen; but apples are still the most popular, as well as the least expensive of fruits. There are fairly good grapes to be had at 35 to 40 cents a basket. Pomegranates cost 5 to 10 cents each, and can be used ef fectively in cocktails. There are per simmons and prickly pears at 6 cents each, and pineapples at 20 to 30 cents. A few strawberries are to be seen at about 25 cents a basket. Nuts are much In demand at 15 to 25 cents a pound, and so are cranberries, at 10 to 12 cents a quart. Butter Is slightly higher this week, and the best eggs cost 50 cents a dozen. Happy Is the housewife with crocks full of them, in "water glass," or with personally supervised hens who can still be persuaded to do their duty, re gardless of market prices. apple mim big NUMBER OP EXHIBITORS WILL EXCEED ALL RECORDS.
