llaseinff Insanely Jealous.
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

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

IIKALTH BOARD WOULD RETAIN
TLrMIJIXG INSPECTOR.
Members Declare That Retention Is
Accessary In Order Tliat Rulings
May He Enforced.
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.

ACT TO REGULATE
T
Public Service Commission
Bill to Be Proposed in
January Legislature.
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

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

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
