OFFICERS SEEK STRANGER
Mysterious Messenger Who Delivered
letter to Girl in Case Believed
to Know Something About
Alder-Street Crime.
A blow from the nut of a heavy iron
bolt, such as Is used in bridge construc
tion, yesterday morning crushed in the
skull and instantly killed a young man
giving the name of W. Tanner, in his
apartments ' at the Collins rooming
house. 603 Alder street.
The body was found by A. M. John
ston, the landlord. A quiet young wo
man" of about 17 years, who bad lived
with Tanner during the three weeks of
his stay at the hotel and who posed as
his wife, is missing. Two suitcases con
taining the belongings of the two also
are gone. From this circumstance the
police believe that the woman is an
. accomplice if not the actual murderer,
although they also are considering the
possibility that she mar be innocent. !
andf the murderer an angered relative
or a jealous suitor. The police also are
searching for a man who, about a week
K delivered, a note to the young
woman. The theory of the police i
that; this man Is the actual murderer,
and that he has fled with the young
woman.
Us Is described as being rather heavy
set, .a feet 8 or 9 Inches in height, and
about 25 years old. His complexion is
fair' hair dark and he wore a. black
derby hat and a dark suit. His general
. appearance gave the impression that he
was employed in office work.
The letter incident happened on Mon
day 'of last week, and the next da,y the
, woman appeared with a swollen face
and black eye and a sore on the side of
her face.
"The man came upstairs about
o'clock in the morning," said Mr. John
son.. "and asked if he could see the per
sons in room 6, the room occupied by
the couple.
"'Do you know who they areT
asked.
" 'Tea.' he replied, 'they are a young
man and wife.
"L then summoned Mrs. Tanner an
handed the letter to. her. The caller
stood by as I did so, and when Mrs.
Tanner, who was in the doorway,
opened It and read it he craned hi
neck as if to observe its contents. She
then closed the dooor and be walked
down the hall.
"At the stairway he turned back and
requested to see the young woman
again. I called her and they conversed
apart for a moment In the hallway.
did not catch any of the words and
ihe- appeared perfectly composed."
.Name Assumed, Say Police. .
The fact that the messenger did not
give the name of- the couple when
asked if he knew who they were, and
that he asked for the couple la "room
G," Instead of by name. Is looked upVn
significantly by the police. . The of
fleers do not believe Tanner was the
right name. This theory is strength
ened by the fact that the initials "A.
W. W. are stamped in the hat of the
dead man. A slight clew as to the
identity of the woman is Johnson's
statement that he thought be saw the
name Haaei " on the letter do
llvered by the stranger, and by the fact
tuatn one of the dead man's pockets
was found a woman's handkerchief with
the Initial "H" on it
There were absolutely no papers of
any kind In the apartments or on the
dead man's person that might lead to
his identity. i
Prom: the condition of the body, the
police are satisfied that the murder
was 'committed some time after
o'clock. Statements of a little boy
rooming across the hallway, who told
of waking up during the night on ac
count bf a noise, and of remembering
that It was just about daylight, lead
the Officers to believe that the crime
was committed about "3. o'clock. The
boy. '"Charles Walpole, 10-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Prank Walpole, who
roorn across the "hallway, told of bis
experience a, the breakfast table an
hour before the murder was discovered.
Boy Hears Groan.
"He remarked that Mr. Wilson, re
ferrlng to one of the roomers across
the hall, must have been sick last
night," said Mrs. Walpole.
" I heard an awful noise,' said th
boy, 'and I think he must have fallen
out of bed. He tumbled on the fleor
and -then he groaned and groaned and

I could-get to. sleep.

its condition indicated that Tanner had

by someone lying in wait.
Tbe body was stretched prone near
the wide entrance to the bedroom,
T.-hieh is without doors. Back of the
entrance, in the bedroom is a closet,

waited In this for his victim. The na
ture of the injury Indicated that' the
blow had been struck irora a aistance.
Almost in the center of the head. Just
above the forehead, the skull had been
crushed in from the Impact of tbe
blow, the wound' being about an inch
square and nearly that deep. Two
slighter injuries showed that other
blows were struck, evidently after the
man . was down, but these did not do
muifn damage.

ship Is About 550.
The cornerstone of the new West
minster Presbyterian Church will be laid
Sunday at East Sixteenth and Schuyler
streets. - This will bo the 'second" larg.
est Protestant place of worship In the
city and its estimated .cost is 3100,000.
The service will be held at 3 o'clock
and will be conducted ' by . Rev.
John H. Boyd, of the First Presby
terian Church of Portland, and Rev.
W. D. Forbes, who 20 years ago es
tabllshed the nucleus of the Westmin
ster Church.
The new building will have a seating
capacity of 1200. Jt is to be built of
Roger Butte stone and finished in To
nlno sandstone from Washington quar.
ries. Simplicity is aimed at and the in.
tention is to make it one of the finest
examples of Gothic architecture in the
city.
Twenty years ago in a little shack
at the corner of Union avenue and
San Rafael street, Mr. Forbes started
a small Sunday School class that was
to develop Into the present congrega
tion with a- membership or 550. Mr.
Forbes housed his little flock here un
til the cabin was removed to give place
to a saloon. The next meeting place
was a room over the engine-house on
Holladay avenue, where it remained
until the present quarters at East
Tenth and East Weldler streets were
constructed.
In that time the Westminster Church
has grown from a little Sunday school
class of 10 or 15 members to the sec
ond largest Presbyterian church in the
citv and it ranks in the first class
among all frotestani organizations.
The Westminster Church Is the only
Protestant building that will have an
entire city block for its occupation.
After' the church proper has been con
tructed a primary and Sunday school
department will be erected, forming an
additional wing on the . main building.
It has not been determined who will
lay. the cornerstone. The ceremonies
will be opened with an address by Dr.
Boyd. Musio will be furnished by the
Sunday school and' Church choir ara
the meeting will be concluded with the
reminiscences by the first Westminster
minister, Mr. Forbes.

Northwestern Electric Com

COMPETITION IS INVITED
Will II. Daly, Councilman-at-Large
Welcomes Vote on Proposition
and Wallace and - Menefee
Favor Bona Fide Deal.
I '. ;
There is every reason to believe that
the Northwest Klectrlc Company will
get a franchise to establish its plants
and operate its business in Portland.
The promise of keen competition ' by
its officers has brought to its support
nearly all. If not all, of the members of
the City Council.
The street committee of the Council
has recommended the proposed fran
chise to the Council for valuation by
the Executive Board. . This feature
will be disposed of at next week's ses
sion of the Council, to be held Wed
nesday morning.
I am strongly in favor of compete
tion," said Will H. Daly, a Councilman.
at-Large, ' yesterday afternoon. : "Per
sonally, I feel the need of a competing
company and will be glad for a chance
to vote for this proposed franchise.
All I want to know is -that the city's
rights are fully protected and I "will
cast my vote for the franchise.
I understand that the new company
proposes to cut the present scale ot
rates. This is something that the peo
pie of Portland urgently need. I have
heand thus far only commendation and
good words for this company. I un
derstand they have ample funds to fi
nance the undertaking without the
floating of bonds; at any rate, that
there will be no difficulty along this
line, and that the company stands
ready to push work as soon as the
franchise is granted."
Councilman Wallace said: "I am in
favor of competition in lighting and
electric current and will be glad to
vote for the franchise If the company
shows fully that it intends to pro.
vide competition. That is all I want
to know. I understand the company
means business and if it does. I favor
the franchise." t '
Councilman Menefee said that he
would favor competition, but he want
ed some assurances that the new com
pany would not sell out to some other
concern. He said ne understood mat
it does not Intend to sell out, as did
the Mount Hood Railway A Power
Company recently, as he said he be
llved this company has the money to
proceed without delay.

PUTER CASE IS PUZZLING
Detective Comes to Take Accused
Man to Minneapolis.
The local authorities have been no
tified that Jim Howard, the oldest de
tective on the Minneapolis police force,
has left for Oregon with extradition
papers to take back S. A. D. Futer,
wanted for obtaining money under
false prestenses in the Minnesota city.
Although Puter has established an ali
bi by showing that he was in Fort-
land May 4, two days after he is
charged with having worked the swin
dle in Minneapolis under the name o'f
A. L. Metz, the Minneapolis authorities
do not appear to be willing to accept
it. Puter, through his attorneys; John
Logan and John H. Stevenson, an
nounces that he will resist the effort
to remove him from the state. He is
being held' in the County Jail under
$5000 bail.
Testimony Heard Regarding Insan
ity In Family of Defendant Mo
tion to Dismiss on 4 Grounds
Is Overruled by Court.
That the defendant admitted to. them
that he killed Donald M. Stewart and
George Hastings was the burden of the
testimony of Dr. A. E. Tamlesle, assist
ant, superintendent of tbe State Asylum
for tbe Insane, and Dr. W. T. William
son, .called as witnesses by the state In
the Roberts murder trial yesterday af
ternoon. After the physicians left the
stand -the state rested. .
The first witnesses called by the de
fense were Robert Johnson and John
Johnson, maternal uncles of Roberta
They testified that they had always
considered their nephew insane and
that his - grandfather, - Josiah Johnson,
had died in 1902 In the state asylum at
sal em at. the age of 82. Special Prose
cutor Logan tried "to make these wit
nesses admit that the old man was Buf
fering from senile decay, but they In
sisted- that he bad been "queer" for
more than 20 years before his death.
The prosecution is confident that the
defendant will be unable to establish
a degree of mental unsoundness nec
essary to meet the Oregon statutes cov
ering the use of Insanity as a defense
for crime. The law in this state re
quires that it Is necessary only to prove
that the, defendant knew the difference
between right and wrong at the time
he committed the act.
Physicians' Evidence Damaging. .
That Roberts was- clearly conscious
of such a distinction Deputy District
Attorney Fitzgerald and Special Prose
cutors Logan and Malarkey believe was
established by the evidence of. the two
physicians, who. declared that Roberts
said be "turned and ran like bell the
other way" after the actions and cries
of the men in ths automobile convinced
him that the shots bad done serious
mischief. The doctors testified that the
defendant said he Intended to shoot
high and merely scare the automobll
ists the first time he discharged the
gun, but the prosecution has intimated
that it will argue that this was a self
serving statement.
From the physicians Attorney Mc
Allister, of the defense, drew admis
sions that Roberts talked to them in a
five and a half hours. He spoke, the
doctors said, of evil spirits and de
clared that his enemies had followed
him on a "brake-beam" trip from Ore
gon to Washington, D. C, and back
to Oregon, through New York City and
Canada, following his release from the
Denltentlarv last Summer. The defend
ant, tBey admitted, had said that these
enemies, chief among whim were the
officials of the State penitentiary, had
inhabited physical bodies not their own
in trailing him,
Denial was made by the physicians
that Roberts had told them that he
came back to Oregon to kill his enemies,-as
: that was the only way -he
could ever secure peace of mind or that
he had spoken of the enemies preced
ing him to places where he applied for
work in the East and notifying his
prospective employers of his record.
Neither could they recall that the- de
fendant had talked of hearing voices
In the woods. Dr. Williamson stating
that he had watched particularly for
evidence of hallucinations of sight or
hearing. They remembered the defend
ant telling them that be almost always
traveled at night and slept In the daytime.
Judge Morrow allowed Dr. Tamlesle,
the first of the two physicians to be
called, only after a protracted contro
versy between the attorneys, the de-
fense contending that Roberts should
not be held accountable for any state
ments which he may have made after
the doctor had Ingratiated himself into
the confidence of Roberts. Special
Prosecutor Malarkey replied that the
jury would probably disregard the tee.
timony later if the defense brought
convincing proof of Roberts' insanity
Court Crltlcteea Malarkey.
During tbe argument Attorney Malar
key drew a severe criticism irora tn
bench, the Are . of the court bein
aroused when Attorney McAllister
called attention to the fact that under
the cloak of argument Mr. Malarkey
was detailing what the testimony of the
physician would be.
"If Mr. Malarkey wants to testify in
this case, let him be put under oath
protested-Attorney McAllisters "Coun
sel is taking a decidedly unfair advan
tage of us in making such statements,
"Mr. Malarkey, counsel is right," said
the judge. "It is unfair on your part
to make such statements."
"But, your honor," retorted the spe
cial prosecutor, with some heat, "how i
the court to pass on the admissibility
ot the evidence of this witness unless
the purport of his testimony is stated?"
"You may assume that he will say
that he secured some kind of an admls.
slon from the defendant. That is sum
clent for the purposes of this argument.
Nothing else will be tolerated in tni
court, never has been and never will be.
Proceed ' with the argument," replied
Judge Morrow. .
Father's Record la Evidence.
Special Prosecutor Logan, who cross.
examined Roberts' uncle, bad them
state that none of the defendant's rela
tlves had ever sought to have him com
mltted to the-Insane asylum, although
they considered him mentally incompe
tent. The record of the defendant's
father, Illis Roberts, was also put in
evidence. Included in the testimony
were statements that the father several
times was arrested for stealing and that
he served several years in the State
Penitentiary for assisting in the burn
ing of the barn of W. S. Ladd. Mr. Lo
gan brought out that the father had
never pleaded insanity as a defense.
At the conclusion of the state's case
Attorney McAllister made a formal mo
tion for the discharge of the defendant
on four grounds that the crime had
been committed in Clackamas County
and that the Multnomah County Circuit
Court has no Jurisdiction over the per
son of the defendant or the subject mat
ter of the action; that the indictment
was not returned by a Clackamas
County grand jury; that the petit jury
is not a Jury of the county in which the
act was committed, and that the life and
liberty of the defendant are being
placed In Jeopardy without due process
of law, contrary to the laws and const!
tution of the State of Oregon and
against the spirit of the 14th am?nd
ment of the Constitution of the United
States. Judge Morrow overruled the
motion.' ' "

like a rash. Then they filled with water and '
Itched something awful. She had it on het
neck, head, body and her face. She scratched
them until they became sore and filled with
corruption, and she got no sleep. ' We firs
noticed it when she was about two months
old, and she had it until she was six months

worse. We used Cuticura Soap to bathe her

Her Own Statement.
Covington, Mo. " Your mecKnina has
done me more good than all the doc

How Mrs. Cline Avoided
Operation.
Brownsville, Ind. "I can say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has done me more good than anything
else. One doctor said I must be opera

and that nothing could help me but an . '
operation.
I had" hemorrhages and at times
could not get any medicine to stop them.
I got in such a weak condition that I would
have died if I had not got relief soon.
" Several women who had taken your
Compound, told me to try it and I did
and found it to be the right medicine to
build up the system and overcome
female troubles. .

SWEETS MAY OUST NOISE
Ice Cream Likely to Replace Fire
crackers on July 4. .
A popular experiment is proposed by
the members of the "Safe and Sane"
Fourth of July Committee, recently
named by the Mayor. Ice cream is to
be served to the children at the play
grounds throughout the city, where
bands are to play and games are to
be had this season, unless it is found
that the Juvenile population is too
large.
Ice cream costs money, but children
like it. These two facts are fully un
derstood by the members of the com
mittee. They want to buy the cream
if possible, but the supply of cash is
limited. They decided yesterday to in
vestigate. ...
Thus far the committee has only J100
available for cream; $300, must be saved
for music and $100 for medals and
cups for the sport events. The Coun
cil will appropriate $500, as promised
by the ways and means committee yes
terday. Another meeting will be held
tomorrow at 4 o'clock at the City Hall.

ACTUAL STARVATION .
Facta About Indigestion and Its Relief
That Should Interest Von.
Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do 'not
thoroughly understand their cause, and
cure. There is no reason hy most
people should not eat anything they
desire if they will only chew It care
fully and thoroughly. Many actually
starve themselves Into sicknes through
fear of eatlnS , every good-looking
good-smelling, and good-tasting food.,
because It does not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit yourself
to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dyspepsia.
We are so confident ot this fact that
we guarantee and promise to supply
the medicine free of all cost to every
one who will use It, who Is not perfect- .
ily satisfied with the results which it
produces. We exact no promises, and
put no one under any obligation what
ever. Surely, nothing could be fairer.
We are located right here and our
reputation should be sufficient assur
ance of the genuineness of our offer.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in' any form ,
to come to our store and buy a box

them home and give them a reasonable
trial, according to directions. Then, if
not satisfied, come to us and get your

to take; they aid to soothe the irritable

tion and assimilation.
