PENDER IS HELD ON
HURTFUL EVIDENCE
Neighbors of Murdered Woman
Tell Circumstances of Mrs.
Wehrman's Death.
MAIL CLEW IS DAMAGING
feapex-fs Testimony That He Was In
Ilia Tent on Sight of Killing; Is
Urnlnl by Scappoose Man.
Other Evidence Withheld.
Despite the bt efforts of his attor
ney. John H. Hteveneon. who protested
that ths nature of the evidence pre
sented was not such ss to Justify the
action. J." A. Pender, sccused of the
murder of Mrs. Daisy Wehrman and her
1-year-old son. Harold, near Scappoose,
on September . waa held to answer to
the itrand Jury by Justice of the I'eace
Hasen at St. Helena yesterday.
J. M. Fry. one of Pender's nelahbors.
testified that he was at the community
mail-bos. at the crossroads near the
suspect's residence, on the afternoon of
Saturday. September . about o'clock,
and that there was nothing; in the box.
About an hour or an hour and a half
previous to thst time Mrs. R. E. Bstes
had. to Pender's knowledge, aecordlna
to his own admission and Mrs. Bates'
testimony, placed a parkaa-e of muslin
addressed to Mrs. Wehrman In the box.
Mast MareVr ladlratrd.
It was this packaa-e which waa found
unopened In the Wehrman cabin by
FherlfT Thompson snd Deputy Sheriff
unnt. together with a newspaper still
In Its wrapper. With respect to the
newspaper. Frank E. Wehrman. hus
band of the murdered woman, testified
thst he had been in Scappoose for the
mall on Saturday, and that there waa
nothina for them either at the offlce or
ia the community mall box on that day.
The testimony of the husband also
tended to establish that the crime waa
committed on Monday evenlna. The
supply of bread waa 'nearly out when
he left for Portland on Sunday, ha said,
and Mrs. Wehrman had told him that
she Intended baking next dsy. which
was her invariable custom. Three
loaves of fresh bread were found In
the cabin by the officers. The witness
also said that the woman's habit was
to moo her chickens for the ntKht
about dusk. They were still confined
when the murder wss discovered.
Thst the crime was not committed
on Tuesday wss shown by the testi
mony of Mrs. John Slercks. who told of
oinsr to the cabin that day. ftndlna the
place padlocked on the outside, seeing
comparatively fresh blood on one of the
loae on which the cabin stands, and
seeina Indistinctly through the finw
the body of Mrs. Wehrman. partially
nude, lying on the bed.
W. A. Harris, of Scappoose. Ieputy
11-oserutlng Attorney, then reverted to
the subject of Pender's movements on
the nlKht of September 4. Charles E.
I.lndloft. a neighbor of Pender, waa
called to prove that he had passed the
suspect's tent that nlxht about I o clock
on his way to Scappoose to board
train to Portland, and saw no light, In
his tent and aaw no alien of him moving
about the place.
Cher Are Reelected.
Testimony was then submitted to
show that the prisoner had. on th
night of his arrest as a suspecC de
tlared that he waa around the tent
working and had lighted hla lamp pre
vious to 7 o'clock. Various other state
ment a made by Pender. Including his
admissions of failure to milk hla cow,
wind his clock and feed the calf, were
testified to.
The prosecution made much of
scratches which were on the suspect's
facet about the time the murder waa
discovered. Sheriff Thompson and two
other mitnesses swore to bavins; no
ticed them and to having paid partic
ular attention to them, for the reason
that Pender was even t.n an object
of suspicion.

FRITZ' PUCE IS JOLTED
GEORGE A. THACHETl REPORTS
SALOON AXD SHOW AS VILE.
Investigator's Plaint Sent to Vlco
Commission, Police Sarins Owner
Keeps Letter of Law.
Frits's Theater and saloon . at Sec
ond and Burnslde streets, as now con
ducted, are a ""feeder" for disreputable
houses, a menace to the welfare of the
city, asserted George A. Thacher before
the liquor license committee of the City
Council yesterday. Mr. Thacher filed
sworn statement of conditions as he
found them upon making personal Inves
tigation. He made no recommendation.
but when asked by members of the
committee what he thought ought to
be done, he did not hesitate to say
such places ought not to exist. The
iquor license committee took no action.
however, but referred the communica
tion to the license committee.
Mr. Thacher visited the plsce a year
ago, and again two weeks ago. He said
he first found IS boxes, or stalls, a bar.
and a number of women who dld"turns"
on the stage and sold drinks In the
stalls. On his first visit he says one
of the women on the stage beckoned
to him to Join her in one of the stslls.
He felt confident the women were
hired by the saloonkeeper to sell
drinks.
He went on to tell how he took a sest
in one of the boxes, psld $1 for a bot
tle of what he would Judge to be
beer, and learned thst the women
were given a commission of 10 cents
on the first bottle of beer, and 60
cents on every succeeding bottle. He
was Invited to purchase a bottle of
champagne, and paid $5. It wis In
reality hard cider, charged with gas,
he says. Then came an Invitation to
visit the woman at her hotel.
It Is a "sort of factory for Jurnlng
out the finished product," he says. "It
has a more demoralising Influence than
any 25 disreputable houses In the city."
Another statement is that it Is hard
to convict the proprietor of this place
of wrong doing, because he has obeyed
the letter of the law.
Captain Bailey of the police depart
ment verified this statement, saying
that analysis of beer purchased at the
plsce showed It to be "near beer."
There is an ordinance prohibiting wors
en In saloons, but this is avoided by
having swinging doors and a hallway
between the saloon and theater proper,
says Mr. Thacher. Acting Chief Slover
declared he regarded the place as a
menace to the community, that It was
a place where men are either "robbed
or relieved of their cash."
It was decided to send a copy of the
report to the Vice Commission.
HEAD CUT-OFF BY CHAIN
Laborer Decapitated at Plant of
Portland Lumber Company.
Caught In a revolving chain In the
floor of the "sawdust house" of the
Portland Lumber Company, at the foot
of Lincoln strset. Matt Copo. an Italian
laborer, aged 45 years, was decapi
tated at o'clock last evening. After
sn hour's search through the saw
dust room and wagons the body wss
found an hour later by fellow work
men, but the head was carried into
the boiler or furnace-rooms and was

Copo. ssy witnesses of the tragedy,
was leveling sawdust, receiving It on
one chain from the mill proper and
sending It through cars operated by

room. While stepping across the floor
of the room his foot went through to
the chain below the floor, which
caught him and carried him away. A

wagon, saw the body whirling past on
the chain, and told employes of the
company, who Inatttuted a search for
It. finally finding It In a aawdust pile,
decspltsted.
Copo hsd been six months with the
company. He lived at Arthur street

Benevolent Body's Fnvestlgalors Find
That Indians Get Incisors From
Carcasses Organization
Helps Save Ilerds.
Although the grand lodge of Elks
for a long time has discouraged mem
bers of the organization from wear
ing elk teeth as emblems, a diligent
research conducted a few years ago
by a commission of members of th
order revealed that the use of these
trophies was not In any way respon
sible for the threatened extermina
tion of the species aa suggested Wed
nesday by W.. L. Finley, state game
warden.
Prominent Klks In Portland point
out that the grand lodge maintains a
standing committee on the preserva
tion of elk. that the tooth no longer
Is recognized, as an official emblem and
that this subject will receive regular
consideration at the grand lodge ses
sion to be held In Portland next July.
It ts probable, they say, that the
grand lodge and the various lodges In
those parts of the country In which
elk abound have done more than any
other agency to protect the animals.
A report on this subject filed at the
grsnd lodge session In' Detroit a year
ago concluded with the positive declar
stion that the reason for the diminish
ing supply of elk Is particularly en
croachment of civilization. In some In
stances It was learned that large herds
of elk in Wyoming had suffered from
severe weather, but thorough Investi
gation proved that the fences of set
tlers made It impossible for them to
reach their usual sheltered spots and
feeding grounds and that they had to
remain exposed to the elements.
Indians Pick i p Teeth.
Onlv one or two cages were reported
of the actual slaughter of elk for the
use of their teeth, which are prized
bv Jewelers as ornaments to be sold
to lodge members. It was found that
the Indians go Into the game pre
serves every Spring and gather the
teetk from the animals that die from
natural causes and sell them to enter
prising Jewelers,
However, since trie grana loogo
ceased to recognize the tooth ss an
official emblem the Indians have found
this an unprofitable business and no
longer practice It. In the few years
preceding the campaign started by the
lodge aga nst the use or eiK teem
numerous artificial teeth made their
ppearance and discounted the value
of the real srticle. Imitation teeth
were made of celulold and bone and
Imitated the natural teeth with such
accuracy that only experts could tell
the difference. As many members of
the order hsd purchased real elk teeth
before the grand lodge dlscoursged
their use. they continue to wear them.
The grand lodge, pursuing its policy
of allowing Its members unrestricted
personal liberty, refrained from pass
ing a law prohibiting their use.
Order Help Save Herds.
President Roosevelt first called the
attention of the lodge to the. rapid
disappearance of the elk. In 1907 he
communicated with Judge llelvln, of
Oakland, then grand exalted ruler. At
the following session of the grsnd
lodge in Philadelphia a commission
was appointed to investigate the situ
ation and toy take steps to check the
depletion of the species. The com
mission has been maintained since.
An effort was made, through Sena
tor Warren, of Wyoming, to have Con
gress appropriate $30,000 for the pur
pose of purchasing land of settlers
upon which the elk could have shelter
and food through the entire year. This
failed of passage. The commission co,
operated with state and Federal offi
cials In the effort to preserve the elk
and recent reports show that the herd
In Wyoming has been actually Increas-
Ing. now numbering more than 50,01)0
head. The Cheyenne Lodge and other
lodges In Wyoming annually buy hay
to feed to elk in the districts that suf
fer from heavy snow. Recently the
Denver Lodge caused a small herd to
be driven from the unprotected plateaus
of the north Into the foothills of Colo
rado, where they will be sheltered and
where they will have plenty to eat
throughout the year.
If the band of elk is moved from
Tellowatone Park Into Oregon, as pro
posed, members of the lodges in this
state declare that they will seek to
have them protected.
NEW POWER LINE PLANNED
Pacific Company to Serve Zone lie
twee n Wallnla and The Dalles:
Engineers representing the Pacific
Power & Light Company, of this city,
are preparing to go Into the field to
make surveys for a high-power trans
mission line between Walluia and The
Dalles for the purpose of serving electricity-to
the territory between those
places. The line will be approximately
130 miles long, with sufficient exten
sions to serve the country on the north
bank of the Columbia, and the total
cost will be In the neighborhood of
1375,000. The line will be built to
carry a heavy load at 66,000 volts, and
as soon as the surveys are completed,
material will be ordered for construc
tion at once.
The Pacific Power A Light Company,
which owns practically all the electric
plants in the Columbia, Yakima and
Walla Walla River Valleys, makes a
specialty of selling power for Irriga
tion pumping. The company has one
large system of transmission lines be
tween North Taklma. Pasco, Walla
Walla, Pendleton and Dayton, and an
other system between Tygh Valley. The
Dalles. Hood River and White Salmon,
or about 600 miles in all, and the new
line will be built with the idea of con
necting the two systems and provid
ing for continuity of service.
The new line will serve Umatilla,
Arlington, Blalocks, Irrigon. Paterson,
Whltcomb, Plymouth, Celilo. Biggs,
Cliffs and other Communities which
bave not had electric service before.
DETECTIVES' MONTH BUSY
Captain Reports City Is Clean and
Rid of Parasites.
t
Report of the fffst month's work of
the reorganized city detective force
has been completed by Captatn Baty.
The number of cases cleared has fallen
off considerably." The report points out
that the department is shorthanded and
that all the men are working over
time. Parasites are no longer -to be found
In the city, asserts the detective chief,
and the moral condition of the city is
good. Work of detectives, acting under
orders of the September grand Jury, is
credited with a large share of the re
sults In driving the undesirable classes
out of town.
Captain Baty points with pride to the
work of hla men in assisting the Fed
eral authorjtles to break up the white
slave traffic which had assumed alarm
ing proportions here. Largely through
the efforts of detectives a man and a
woman have received long sentences In
Federal penitentiaries, another man is
under Indictment and in Jail, another
Is sought, while minor cases have been
numerous. The detectives have also as
sisted In obtaining Indictments for vio
lations of the Federal liquor laws.
In all. 201 reports of crimes were
made in September, and about one
fourth of the cases were cleared up.
Five fugitives were brought back from
other places and 11 persons were cap
tured here for outside police.

TRADE EXPANSION M
In the City of Portland
To Every Man, Woman and Child in Portland:
In olden times, the churches of the world depended for the musical
part of their services upon the voices of the congregation.
In the early part of the 19th century musical instruments began to
appear at the principal church services; the particular kind of instru
ment depending largely upon the wealth of the congregation the
highest ambition of any being the ownership and proper use of the
now out-of-date cottage organ. Later on, pianos began to appear in
some of the wealthier congregations.
The growth of communities and the consequent enlargement of
membership in the various churches made necessary the erection of
larger and grander edifices. This brought with it the necessity for
new and larger equipment for appropriate music. Today, no metro
politan church is considered complete without being equipped with a
pipe organ. And the desire to possess one extends to the smallest of
provincial congregations.
"Trade Expansion for the City of Portland. No. 3," tomorrow, in
this paper, will discuss the question in detail. Reference will be made
to it here, merely to say that the principal interference in the growth
of. this sentiment in favor of pipe organs for churches has been more
the lack of funds than the sentiment against it among the members of
religion bodies. Until recent years, the price necessarily asked by
manufacturers made such a luxury almost prohibitive. "Just an ad
vertising scheme to sell a pipe organ," the cynic will doubtless say at
this point. Such a conclusion is entirely erroneous. 1 ou may partici
pate in this project without it costing you a single cent. You are not
eoine to be offered "banrains." or "something for almost nothing,"
but you are going to be instrumental, in making "an extraordinary
donation."
In tomorrow Installment It will doubtles be possible to demonstrate
exactlv what this unusual opportunity really is. and that it Is exactly
what it really appears to beproof of which will appear In the names
of the men who are back of it. It will be recognized as something en
tirely unprecedented something that, so far as is known, has never
been done before. It Is the result of the collaboration and co-operation
of SO of Portland's leading merchants in an endeavor to promote legiti
mate romraerclal expansion.
