to BROTHER PLOTTED MURDER.SAYS LAD Piet Moto Unwillingly Impli cates Relative as Slayer of Macedonian. SEVENTH ARREST IS MADE Prisoner f-el trts Without Bond, aa Authorities Count on Htm for Fiirther Help Greeks Will Aid In !roaculloD. Through the evidence srlven by Tint Moto concerning the murder of Theo dora AUarn. by 17 Bulgarian, nearly two year aa-o, the Informant's own rather was arrested yesterday morn ing by Patrolman Hirsch. and w booked at the, police station on a charge of murder in the first decree. He was the seventh man to be arrested for the crime. After bale, booked he was set free on his own recognisance. Tlel was not a willtnn betrayer of bis own flesh and blood, but one admis sion of bla led to another, until he re luctantly confessed that his brother. Jim Moto. waa one of the 17 who. he ays. sat around the dead body of At tain an J drank beer and ate peanuts In a housa at Seventh and Flanders streets, while they discussed the dis position to be mad of the body, rriwnrr 3Iay Aid ProM-cutor. The entry on the police blotter, ex plaining Jim Moto's release without tfie usual requirement of ball. Is a precedent In police annals. After his name and the charge "first degree murder." Is the abbreviation. "recogc. with the explanation, "by request of the District Attorney." Police officials say that this Is the first time within their knowledge that a man accused of murder In the first degree has been allowed to go free without any guar antee for his appearance. Tne reason for the action Is that the prosecution looks to Moto for mate rial assistance In the case. They hare learned that Moto talked of the case, following the first exposure, in a man ner showing that he knew more than he would tell. He will be kept under surveillance to Insure his appearance, and to prevent any attempt to Influ ence or lnttmidate him. Police Are Confident. The prisoner la IS years old and ave Ms occupation as that of porter. Like all the rest, he denies any knowledge of the crime with which he la chanced. The police feel more confident, how ever, of his guilt than of any of the rent, for the reaaon that no hope of re ward could have Inspired his brother to betray him. while every natural motive would Incline hint In the opposite di rection. fundi will be supplied by the Greek colony In this city to further the prose cution of the alleged slayers of their countryman. The Greeks have been thoroughly aroused by the revelations of Ptel Moto. which hava fanned the al ways smouldering fire of hatred be tween the Macedonian Greeks and their near neighbors, the Bulgarians. Tha Greeks say that tha raid captained by Attain. In which many Bulgarians wera killed, was caused by the forcible cap ture and attempted marriage of a Mace donian girl by a Bulgarian. It waa when the wedding guests were aasero-M-d to celebrate tha forced nuptials that A I Jam and hla band descended upon them at night and waged slaugh ter. I 'ate Pursues Victim. After the raid. Atjasa fled to Ameri ca, apparently led by hla rte. settled In Portland, where many of the relatlvea of tha slaughtered wedding guests lived. They wera advised by mall of the massacre) and of the flight of At jam to this country. Pour years they waited, keeping ta touch with tha rela tives In the home country and with countrymen In other parts of the Cnlted Mates. At last the slumbertng vendet ta found meat to feed upon when At jam. who waa a laborer, employed first In one part and then another, on con etructloa Jobs, waa found quartered In this city. Councils were held, usually at the Flanders street house, and at last the marked man was lured to the place, by what means, no one but ths conspirators themselves can tell. There be was beaten to death and his corpse was consigned to the river. Punishment for murder, as a matter of public policy. Is not contemplated by either faction of the feudists. To thera It is a grim game that has been played, and In the Interest of the local authori ties the Macedonians see only an unex pected allv who wilt give them their Innings. They Justify the raid of At jam s party aa an act of legitimate warfare, aa tha Bulgarians Justify tha condign vengeance Uiat aa wreaked upon Mm.

Ail of the accused men hava been supplied with attorneys, and are stand lng mute. None of them will Implicate another, aven In hops of exculpating himself. The ploblem which now con front the authorities l Jo estabUih the body of the crime, by connecting the alleged murder with the floating lorpee picked up a few days afterward at Martin's dock, and to fasten upon one er more of the allcgeJ conspirators the actual -striking of tha blows which ended AOam's life. OREGON IS BEST OF ALL Back From Tour of Contrj. C. X. McArtlmr Prefers Home. "No other Mte that I visited equals Oregon in climate, soil, resource and natural beauty." declared C. N.

Among ths prominent cities visited by Mr. M. Anhur were New Orleans. Naahvlllc. Washing, ten. New Tork. Montreal. Louvllle and St. Louis, returning to hia native sta:e via Jjcnver. Mr. McArthur refused to die cuaa either politics or his future plana. He v.'ted the legislature of three states Colorado, Tenr.est and New York wtiie t- lawmakers were In ses sion. -Thousands of people from throughrft the bast and Sooth are coming to Oe-goo.- said Mr. McAsthur.

SHARP CURVE UPSETS HIM Hill-Climbing Kvent 3larrd by Se ries of Pelajs and Accidents. Barret h. Mewlg nnd Beck Complete. Hard Course. Mastering of bad roads and deep ruts on high speed gave "Tex" Schuman confidence enough to tackle the fa mous Brickyard turn on Barnes road at high speed In yesterday's hlll-dlmo and endurance run of tha Portland Motorcycle Club, bringing him to grief on tha far end of an "3" curve. Riding without sense of fear. Schurman took the lower grades of the blllclimb at terrific speed and gained 1 minute and Zi seconds on his rivals In ths seven horsepower class. The Brickyard eurva is one of tha worst near tha city. Utile Tex" struck tha lower bend and conquered It. but on the last edge, where the cycle path la narrow, he lost control, sending him off the road, rapalxlng his machine and pitching him off headfore most. He struck the road face downward at the edge of the road where It skirted a gully nearly 100 feet. The boy escaped anything other than slight bruises, al though part of hia clothing was torn completely off. His machine waa picked up Intact and after regaining his composure tha lad continued down hill alone. Seven times the lad had ascended tha hill between the City Park and Mount Calvary Cemetery, the course over which the race waa run. In practice, startling the spectators by his daring. Although far up the road tha scene of ths accident waa lined with people, who rushed to tha little felloWa aid. all of which, however, waa apurned. There were several other Instances of demounting during tha progress of the practice and the race but all ths riders escaped Injury.

MARCTT 27. 1911. caused one rider's machine to buckle, throwing him several feet to safety. The race was run under adverse con ditions, the success of the meet being greatly Impaired. A monster funeral cortege filing up the road to Mount Calvary Cemetery delayed the start many minutes. When the race was started many riders were unable to complete the trip, being blocked on their way by the funeral procession. Consequently the men to reach the top of the long 15 per cent grade were not many In number. Ed Barreth. Otto Mesig and Arthur Beck are the three contenders for first place honors who mastered the steep hill the full distance of the race 2.3 miles. Official timers have not yet fig ured out the winner but It was believed yesterday that Ed Barreth had won. It waa a race against time and not against competitors. There were three classes of machines entered the four, five and seven-horsepower classes. The lighter machines made the race first and were more successful than their larger competitors because of the funeral procession. Several riders were forced to quit at the foot of the fa mous "S" curve because a buggy and automobile drew up alongside the road at that point, not allowing enough iirnin. mniYi for the iharD curve. In all probability another contest will be held over the same course with in the next month, while later In the season racing meets at the Country Club race track will be held under the auspices of the Portland Motorcycle Club.

PAVING PLANT WANTED EAST BIDE WOULD INITIATE CITY OWNERSHIP. Officials Already Have Power to Reduce Cost by Withholding; Work, Saya Mr. Menefee. A movement has been started on the East Side to submit an Initiative measure to empower the city to es tablish a municipal paving plant. The purpose of the advocates of this meas ure is to get It oh the ballot at the June election. It Is urged that If the city owned a paving plant It could compel a material reduction of the cost of paving In Portland. There will be a general meeting of property ownera of Central East Port land tonight In rooms of the East Side Business Men's Club to consider the measure. The Montavilla Board of Trade will take up the question at Its meeting tonight at the corner of Villa avenue and East Seventy-sixth street. Councilman Menefee, of the Ninth Ward, is of the opinion that there Is ample power now In the hands of the Mayor and Executive Board to com pel a reduction of prices for street pavements. "I am not opposing the Ellis amend ment." said Mr. Menefee, "but I think it will not work out as Mr. Ellis ex pects It wIlL The Mayor and Execu tive Board, with the City Engineer, now have the power to reduce the price of pavements, and why they have not done so I am unable to say. They can withhold letting the contract on any street if they think that the con tract price for the work is too high. If they would refuse to let the con tracts unless the cost was within a certain reasonable f'gure, I am confi dent that the paving companies would reduce their prices, and that without the EUls amendments or any other amendments that may be proposed. 4 I am not fighting any of these measures, however, for we certainly need lower prices for street Improvements." "If the officials who run the paving plant could be placed under heavy bonds." said J. H. Nolts, who started tha municipal plant movement several years ago, "It would be a good thing. Otherwise the leakage would absorb any benefit the property owners might receive. When I started the movement several years ago the paving and crushed rock companies got very busy and nothing was accomplished. It could be made a good thing in cut ting down the cost of street work." LUNACY THOUGHT FEIGNED Jailers Watch Ha&sins; Closely As End of Trial Is Near. That William Jans Hasslng is feign ing insanity Is the belief of the em ployes of the Sheriff's office and the County Jail. His trial, which probably will terminate today, has been In progress for four days, and while his attorneys have submitted much evi dence showing Insanity Is hereditary In the family, the officers are of the opin ion that when Hasslng shot and killed his wife last November the deed was the result of premeditation and jeal ousy. Hasslng remained in his cell all day yesterday, refusing his meals, and de clining to answer questions put to him by the officers. It Is said that tha Ogden tragedy, which occurred Wed nesday, has had a depressing effect upon the prisoner. Since that murder and suicide, the offlcera hava been watching Hasslng closely, for fear that he may attempt to commit auiclde. The trial was continued from Satur day noon until 9:30 o'clock this morn ing so that the defense can introduce expert testimony on insanity. It is expected that Dr. A. E. Tamiesle. one of the superintendents f the insane asvlum at Salem, will be present this morning to Inquire Into Hassing's con dition and, s;ive his report to toe Jury. DUE T Governor Expected to Fill New Port Commission. LEGAL CRISIS IMPENDING Xdthrr Old Nor New Body Will Transact Much Business TTntil Issue Is Settled in Court As to New Lsnvs. Appointments of three new members of the Port of Portland Commission are due today from Governor. West to fill the places made vacant by the refusal of Messrs. Wheelwright. Ainsworth and Adams to accept appointments to the new Commission. The appointment of the new members of the Commission will have a tendency to bring to a crisis at an early date the controversy concerning the validity of the new law. which abolishes the old Commission and authorixes the appoint ment of the new Board.

It was mutually understood that no further ac tion would be taken until the Governor acted. Old Members Firm. W. D. Wheelwright said yesterday that he was positive that none of the mem bers of the old Board would accept the Governor's appointment to the new Com mission, and thus Governor West is ex pected to make the pew appointments today, as previously announced. M. G. Munlyt chairman of the commit tee of 50 citisens who took an active part In framing the new law, and ar preparing to pay for the necessary liti gation to prove its validity, said yester day that he was delaying the calling of a meeting of the committee until, after the Governor made his appointments. It Is probable that when the new members are named a meeting of the new Com mission will be called and that steps will then be taken to have the . new Board work in harmony with tha com mittee of SO In settling the legal situa tion. Bnslness Will Wait. Until the courts have determined whether the old or new Port of Port land Commission Is legal, no official business will be transacted unnecessar ily by either set of Commissioners, as It is deemed not to be advisable for either set to act until Its legal status has been determined. Mr. Wheelwright has said that while he would uphold the old Board, he would resign bis position as a member if the court determines it to be legally in ex istence. The members of the old Board have Indicated that they are not fight ing for the continuation of the old or ganisation in order to continue to hold office, but simply to oppose what they deem to be an unjust effort to remove them. SCHEDULE CHANGE ON MAY 1 Steamer Breakwater to Be Put on Five-Day Service. C. J. Millis. superintendent of the Portland Coos Bay Steamship Com pany, arrived in Portland yesterday on the steamer Breakwater from Coos Bay. Mr. Millis said that by May 1 the Breakwater would be put on a five-day schedule, and If conditions were satisfactory the change would be made even before that time. Concerning the proposed railway from the main line of the Southern Pacific to Coos Bay, Mr. Millis said he could not announce at present when work will be begun on the line. "If you ask me if the line Is to be built," said Mr. MUlls, "I will answer yes. assuredly, but if you ask ms when it will be built. I will have to say that I cannot now anawer the ques tion." - t ' Mr. Millis recently spent a month in San Francisco, consulting with Harrl man officials there, and when he re turned he said that one of the matters discussed while he was In San Fran cisco was the construction of the pro posed railroad from the main line to Coos Bay. Mr. Lillls Is In Portland on a short business trip. The Breakwater brought to passen gers and a general cargo. Including two carloads of sashes and doors. Captain Macgenn. commanding the Breakwater, said yesterday that ths dredge Oregon, which has been at work improving the channel at Coos Bay since last October, had cut a channel from North Bend to Marshfield, a dis tance of about three miles, and an average depth of 2S to 30 feet. By April 15, It is expected that the dredge will move down to the lower bay to remove some shoals, and when this is done the channel will be opened to the depth above stated from Marshfield to the sea. and will allow of much larger vessels making use of the harbor. Marine Notes. With a cargo of flour, wheat and lumber, the Portland & Asiatic Com pany's liner Rygja sailed for the Orient at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The steamer George W. Elder, which, was due .to arrive from San Diego and way porta yesterday, : will prob ably be In port some time today with passengers and freight.
