lungs, were the Immediate cause of
death. Patrolman Hewston. wounded
by a 1 -caliber revolver In Ryan's
hands. Is on the high road to recov
ery, tit wound being severe, but not
dangerous.
Efforts of Ryan to prove that he was
not the aggressor In the fight and
that Hewston fired at him without
by the police authorities. The fact
that Hewston was aavancmir wwiru
an are light on a street corner, while
Ryan stood with his back to the light,
the glow being on the patrolman in
full uniform, with his star exposed.
Is argued by the police as proof that
Ryan must have known at whom he
was shooting when he opened fire.

rumitucn of the shooting, saying
that Ryan had shot first, and declar

so bad that he did not believe he had

Captain Joe Keller of the second
night relief, who with Patrolman
Rupert found Ryan lying In one of the
sidetracked roaches of the Southern

caution In gunnghta

Keller says that when he asked
Ryan the circumstances of the shoot
ing Ryan answered: "I thought at first
that I was held up. How's the police
' man?" making tha ouery before any
one had told him that his assailant
was a policeman. Keller told Ryan
that the policeman had been sent to
the hospital and was In pretty bad
shape. Ryan said: "Well. I was com
ing down tha street and the fellow
stopped me. I "whanged' away at him
and he whanged away at me. I'm
from Missoula, Montana, and I'va al
ways been a gunman. I only had a
pea gun Ust night." referring to the
small caliber of the revolver he threw
away as he went from the scene of
the shooting. ...
Later, when Keller called him "Red
several times, he said: "I am not Ta
coma Red." He later told Detective
Sweones that be had been In Portland
but two weeks and when asked If he
had been In Tacoma. answered: "Well,
not very long." He was found yester
day to have been an employe of the
H F. Norton Company, hide dealers,
at Sit Front street, for four months.
The man slain was on the payroll
of the hide company as Frank Kelly,
but at his lodging-house at 505 Clay
street be was known as Ryan, which
he said was his right name.
ROOM THIEF SENTENCED
Captive Who Meant to Fight Case Is
to Serve Tear Instead.
"I'll waive examination and take my
chances up above." said H. M. Lyons,
room thief and alleged parasite, an
swering to larceny charges In the Mu
nicipal 'Court.
What chances he relied on. the pris
oner did not say. but whatever they
were, they were snatched ruthlessly
away by Deputy District Attorney Hen
nessy, who promptly removed the case
from the Jurisdiction of the higher
courts by reducing the charge to a
misdemeanor.
Lyons was arrested by DetecUves
Craddock and Abbott after he had rob
bed four rooms In ths Clark and Savon
Hotels. He had part of the loot In his
possession. Ths police charge that he
has been taking the money of a woman

when he appeared yesterday for bear

be decided In the lower court. After a
hurried consultation with his attorney,
he entered a plea of guilty and was
sentenced to serve one year at Kelly

J. 0. ARMOUR IS BACKER
Company Being; Formed Plans to
Handle Bulk of Nation's Crop.
Horst Father of Plan Port
land and Salem Men In Deal.
Steps are being taken In the East
to form a large hop company to handle
the bulk of the American crop. The
company. If organized, will consist of
brewing, trading and producing In
terests, and It will have ample- capi
tal to enable It practically to control
the American market. The prime
mover In the organization is E. Clem
ni Karat- of San Francisco, and the
I chief financial backer is said to be
I Armour, of Chicago, who has been Iden
1 UAed with the Horst company for eev-
Ieral rears.
Two or three of the largest Portland
I and Balem dealers have been consulted
I by the promoters of the movement and
Jt Is understood they will be identified
with the new company. Some of the
leading California growers ana proo
ably a few Oregon growers will also
be stockholders. English capital will
also be In tha company.
The object of the new company, it
Is said. Is not to control prices, but
to systematise the methods of con
ducting the Jiop buslnes, as has been
done In other commercial lines. At
ths present time the expenses of a firm
handling a business of 2000 bales a
year Is as large as one thaf handles
10.000 or 15.000 bales. A vast ex
pense Is Incurred In buying, trans
porting and carrying hops, and much
of this cost will . be eliminated, ac
cording to the plana of the new eon-
hjn rhoseo for the
new company and - It is not known
what ofllcers will be selected, but it
Is presumed that Armour will be the
president.
It may be several months or a year
before all the details are perfected,
but It Is the purpose of the organizers.
If possible, to get everything In work
ing order In time to handle the 191!
crop. '

Baldwin said the dancehall evil Is one
of the worst she has to contend with

Baldwin, "and as they are not gener

are enjoyed by girls of the upper
classes, they should be given a proper
place. But the halls must be under
absolute police surveillance. When a
hall allows th law to be violated the
license should be revoked, so as to
keep the balls within bounds.
The commute adopted her Tecom-.

Plans for an intercepting sewer to
extend from Marquam Gulch In South
Portland along the waterfront to Nic

to take up aU sewerage now emptied
Into the river between those points,
were completed yesterday by City En

to the City Councmll at its next meet
ing. The big pipe can be built for J500,

the sewer problem. The sewer as
planned will be 11 feet In diameter at
the outlet at Nlcolal street and taper
down to four feet at Its beginning In
South Portland. ; Through the center
of the citylt will be about nine feet
In diameter.
Mr. Hurlburt says such a sewer
would drain 20,000 lots on the West
Side and could be operated at prac
tically no expense, as no pumping sta
tion would be necessary. For the East
Side a similar main may be suggested
by Engineer HurlDurt. ne is

At present the sewer mains on the

Resolutions Are Referred to Seven
to Appeal to Taxpayers at An

"Wasteful extravagance" In expend
ing the taxpayers' money was charged
against the members of the Board of
Education of school district No. 1 in
resolutions adopted by the civic coun
cil at a meeting In the Commercial Club
last night. Resolutions demanding a
special election to vote on a bond is
sue for new school buildings were also
approved by the council. Both resolu
tions were referred to a special com
mittee of seven with instructions to
present them to the annual meeting
of the taxpayers of the school district
next Friday night, December 29.
"The members of the Board of Edu
cation are not only deserving of severe
criticism, but should be condemned
tor the wasteful manner in which they
are expending the money of the peo
ple." said E. L. Mills, who Introduced
both resolutions. "They have not only
wasted your money in the past In
building frame structures, but they are
today paying from 25 to 33 1-3 per
cent more for the fireproof buildings
they are erecting than they should pay.
There Is a serious need for the employ
ment by the board of a competent ex
pert who shall have general supervis
ion of the construction of all build
ings constructed by the district"
Speaking of the other resolution, Mr.
Mills Insisted that a special election
should be called Immediately for the
purpose of voting on a bond issue
sufflcient for providing the district
with all the fireproof school buildings
needed. He also argued that provis
ion should be made for creating a sink
