THE MOItXIXG OREGOXIAX, FKIDAV. OCTOBER 4, 1912. 16 POLICE DRAGNET IS DRAWN ON SUSPECT First Degree Murder May Be Charged Against Tom C. Maxey Today. EX-CONVICT WILL TESTIFY John O'Keete Declares He Overheard Conversation That Involves Pris oner as Principal In Murder of Harry G. Barr. First-desree murder will be charged against Tom C. Maxey In an Informa tion to be Issued this morning, If the Tl.fri1t Attn r-n f v will consent to take such action. The application will be made by George Barr. orotner 01 narry G. Barr, who was Killed in nm luwnw bile on the Linnton road. Beptember 16. As a basis for the charge, the police have the statement of an ex-convict going under the name of John O'Keefe, v, nnBva. Vi n t 1,- nvArhaiird A COn- " versation tending to show that Maxey was the principal in tne crime, in cor roboration of his story the police have i.. - t Ho t another f-convict will testify that Maxey left Seattle for 1'orllana septemoer it, iww uajo w fore the murder. Diligent efforts to provide other con firmation were balked yesterday. Keepers of places on the Llnnton road were summoned to the City Jail to IimjiB 11 C1U1 b fcV lUOlUllJ . J having been In that vicinity, but alt failed. That tney wouia nave remem bered him if he had been there is ex tremely probable, as he has a peculiar countenance and a distorted vision. Blazer's Silence Suspicion. Maxey Is lending some small support to the suspicion against him by nis si lence. He has given what purports to be an Itinerary of his movements ror the past month, but has left many gaps which he refuses to discuss. As the man is an ex-convict and was, when picked up, consorting with a band of bad characters, it is argued that he may have many reasons for not wish ing to discuss his past, all of them apart from tho Barr murder. To a prisoner who was locked up4 with him Wednesday night, Maxey is said to have remarked that If they got anything on him he would "go the Dutch route." meaning suicide. Late last night the police were ar ranging for an lnterviey with another man, who, O'Keefe says, can substan tiate his story as to the conversation on which he bases his charge against Maxey. That a grudge exists between the accuser and the accused, dating back to a time when they were in pris on together, is said to be a fact tend ing to cloud the reliability of O'Keefe's story. He has repeated It many times, however, and adheres to it In detail. He now gays that he is willing to go before a court as a witness, as he knows that Maxey will pursue the ven detta to the end in any event. Other Clews Followed. According to O'Keefe, Maxey Is the leader of a band of four, including one woman, who plotted to rob a roadnouse visitor of $2500. While the woman lured the intended victim, he says, the others were to waylay him. and to that end had engaged Barr's machine, but Barr, on being taken Into the plot, refused to go on with It and was killed because he knew too much. None of the officials view the story with much credence, but all feel im pelled to go to the bottom of It be cause of the chance that it might be true. Their hand was forced to some extent, by the necessity of taking some action at once, the time being limited In which Maxey could be held without charges. In the meantime, otrier clews are not being neglected, and in the event of the collapse of this theory, other lines will be followed out. BULL MOOSEJSPLACE FIXED Last Position on Ballot to Be Roose velt Progressives. Although they don't like It the least bit, Oregon Bull Moosers will have to abide by the ruling of the Secretary of State and accept last place on the of ficial ballot for their nominees. When the Secretary of State intimated that such would be the position of the Pro gressive party nominees on the ballot, a mild storm was created at the state headquarters of the Roosevel'. party. George Arthur Brown, chairman of the State Central Committee, contended that the position of the candidates by party should be determined by alpha betical arrangement according to party designation. This would give the Pro gressive party second place on the bal lot in all cases where there were two or more nominees. But after consult ing legal authority this argument has been abandoned. Investigation of the statutes disclosed that the arrangement of the official ballot was largely dis cretionary with the Secretary of State, whose ruling to the effect that the ar rangement of candidates' names on the ballot should be governed by the order of filing will stand. RECORDS BEING CLEARED District Attorney's Office Gets Dis missal of Old Indictments. Anxious to have the records cleared of all indictments on which for various reasons there will be no prosecution before the term of District Attorney Cameron expires. Deputy District At torney Mlchelet yesterday obtained in Circuit Court the dismissal of several more old indictments. Among them were three against M. Weiser, all charging that he contributed to the de linquency of young girls, one against George F. Burton charging; the pass ing of a worthless check In 1910 and one against Fred Mills and Jesse R. Zellers, accused of larceny in a store. Weiser was accused of being the head of a syndicate of men operating "for hire'- automobiles which had for Its object the furnishing of girls for roadhouss trips and tor Immoral pur poses. The majority of the. girls were minors. He was tried once In Circuit Court and was convicted, drawing-a sentence of one year In the County Jail and a parole. Mills and Zellers -were given six months each paroled. PORTLANDERS PLAN JAUNT Special Train of Boosters Will Go to Trl-County Fair at Condon. A special train of Portland boosters will invade Condon on the occasion of -Portland day" at the Trl-County Fair to be held at that town October 15-17. The special will leave one night and come back the following night. It has not yet been determined which of the three days will be set apart as Port land dayr This Sherman-Gilliam-Morrow Coun ty project is in reality a child of Porttland promotion.

When A. C. Crowder, Mayor of Jackson, Miss., attended the Na tional convention of Elks In Portland last July, he concluded that the Pacific Northwest is the place to invest. In keeping with that conclusion, he returned to I Portland yesterday and bought a farm in Morrow county and an orchard in Eastern Washington. He was in town just long enough to close the two deals, and left yesterday afternoon for his home. Mr. Crowder is a busy man, for, besides being Mayor of his home city, he is a director and ex-president of the Cotton States Baseball League, vice president of a bank and state manager for a big New York life insurance company. He is spoken of as a likely candidate for Gov ernor of - Mississippi. He was chairman of the Elks' grand' lodge -credentials committee at the Portland convention. "All the Elks were impressed with Portland," he said yester day, "and many others are com ing back here to Invest."

CURVES ARE ELIMINATED the three counties interested creat ing additional interest in the coming fair experiment, which it is hoped will prove to be permanent. The presi dent of the railroad, J. D. Farrell, Is also lending his personal support to tne project. The funds to finance the fair were provided by" the Oregon Conservation commission and the Portland Com mercial Club, and the latter organiza tion organized the Trl-County Devel opment League. . FAIR 10 RAISE . FUNDS EMMAXCEI HOSPITAL BOARD TO ERECT BCILDIXG. ' Present Quarters Are Inadequate and Totally Unfit for Uses . of Institution. A bazaar wa. opened in the base ment of the Yeon building last even ing to raise funds for the erection of a handsome new building for Emman uel Hospital, to cost over $65,000. The present quarters of- Emmanuel Hos pital are entirely Inadequate to its needs Supper costing 2.1 cents ' was served at the bazaar from 5 o'clock till 8 P. M-, and there were attractive booths at which numerous articles might be bought, from household goods to children's playthings. The Emmanuel Hospital is owned and controlled by the Ernanauel charity board, which is a corporate body elected by the . Columbia Conference of the Lutheran Augustana Synod of North America. It has been actively engaged in charitable hospital work for some time, and three years ago bought seven lots on Commercial Street, between Graham and Stanton avenue, from which a selection will be made as the site for thenew hospital that is pro posed. . Temporary quarters are at 209 Tenth street, the quarters of the old Pacific Hospital, the inventory and lease of which were taken over by the board. This was on January 23. and only yes terday there were 28 patients with but 28 beds in the hospital. Three Lutheran deaconesses from the Emmanuel Deaconess Institute in Omaha, Neb., will be In charge of the new hospital and there will be a train ing school for nurses. Since its inception the hospital has cared for 415 patients, but the demand for treatment, especially among the Scandinavian population, is so much greater than the space and number of beds available that every effort is be ing made to secure the new building as soon as possible. It is with this end In view that the bazaar Is being held. Carl J. Renhard is the superintend ent of the hospital, with Rev. H. E. Sandstedt president of a board of 12. Mrs. F. W. Lonegren has had charge of the bazaar management. j ANNA HELD SUES ZIEGFELD Actress Would Recover on Jfotes Made After ex-Husband Gambled. NEW YORK, Oct. S. (Special.) Anna Held, who recently divorced Flor eni Zlegfeld, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court today to recover $2700 from her ex-husband. She said Zleg feld made notes aggregating $10,000 at Paris on August 16. 1910. All the notes were due wMhln a year, but Miss Held alleges $2700 is still unpaid. The notes were made by Zlegfeld af ter unsuccessful play at baccarat and roulette at Monte Carlo and elsewhere. The actress proved herself a business woman when she compelled her hus band to execute notes to cover the money she gave him. The coal consumption of the world has just about doubled every 10 years tor the last century. . . Portland-Seattle Line Undergoes Modernizing Process in Prepara tion for Anticipated Panu- ma Canal Traffic. Work on the Northern Pacific's double track between Tenino and Ta coma is progressing gradually but steadily with the probability that it will be completed in about 18 months, thus finishing the double track line between Portland and Seattle. E. C. Blanchard. general manager of the Northern Pacific's lines in this territory, was in Portland yesterday and declared that on account of the heavy nature of the work, safety and permanancy, rather than speed are the factors controlling Its progress. Porter Brothers, of Portland, have the contract for the entire project, which includes about 40 miles of track and two tunnels under Point Defiance in Tacoma. They are working about 1000 men on the job. It Is work through a rocky country and neces sarily is slow work. A lot of blasting is being done. Many deep cuts are being made in places where the old track occupies high . ground. Carves and Grades Go. , For this contract calls not only for a second track along the entire main line but for a change of grade for the old or existing track. The result will be to eliminate much of the curvature and many heavy grades. The end will be to make the road between Portland and Seattle equal to any line in the country. For Instance: Trains operating north leave Tacoma now on a two per cent grade. The Point Defiance tun nel will put the whole line on a water grade. To do1 this two tunnels are necessary; the Point Defiance work really consists of two tunnels one much longer than the other and the two aggregating nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. While this development is in prog ress the Northern Pacific is modern izing its Portland-Seattle line in other particulars. Chief among these is the introduction of the block signal. Be tween Portland and Kalama an ade quate block signal service already has been installed. Work soon will start on the extension of block "Signals be tween Kalama and Tenino, thus cover ing all the mileage that Is double tracked now. The line between Ta coma and Seattle has been both double tracked and equipped with block signals for several years. As fast as the work between Tenino and Tacoma is completed the automatic blocks will be placed alongside the parallel set of rails. Panama Travel Anticipated. - An improvement in the type of sta tion buildings also is planned, accord ing to recent utterances of, Northern Pacific officials. While no general reconstruction of the stations on the Portland-Puget Sound route is con templated those that are erected will be In keeping with the modern style adopted in the construction of the buildings at North Yakima, Ellensburg and other points east of the mountains. Then the entire right of way will be heavily ballasted and made attractive in appearance. The whole scheme will be quite ready by the time the heavy travel incident to the Panama-Pacific exposition sets in. Visitors to the San Francisco fair will be invited to travel through the Northwest. These Improvements, while ordered by the normal traffic movement be tween the Portland gateway and the Sound cities are so calculated that they will be at the height of their efficiency at the time that the exposition crowds will be here to see. PASTORATE BEGINS SUNDAY Rev. L. K. Richardson Xew Head of Kenilworth Presbyterian. Rev. L. K. Richardson, who left the Woodland Park Presbyterian Church of Seattle to accept a call to the Kenil worth Presbyterian Church, will be gin his pastorate Sunday. Rev. Mr. Richardson was born in Malone,-X. Y. He was graduated from Princeton University in 1907. In col lege he won the freshman class debate prize and was a member of university debating team. He was graduated from Auburn Theological Seminary In 1910. Since that time he' has been pastor of the Woodland Park Presbyterian Church. Under his pastorate it grew to four times the original membership) Rev. Mr. Richardson's father and cousins are clergymen in the East. EXTORTION PL0T CHARGED (Continued From First Paso.) decide to make Mr. Lively his banker. When he first achieved theatrical as pirations he obtained $100 from his father, and Rase furnished a like amount. ,They fitted out a company of 12 persons and toured tne small cities. When they "went broke" in Vancouver they returned here and profess to have Intended to make a second venture. It was for this purpose, says Kisbey, that he borrowed $ from Mr. Lively yes terday, but when found by the police he was busily engaged in buying beer with a portion of tne money. According to Rase, the theatrical venture broke about even and all the money Kisbey has had lately has been his borrowings from Mr. Lively. The first of these admitted by the prisoner was $30. Soon afterward be obtained $10. He admits that he had no ac- DECEASKD YOITXG MAN WAS ' VKLL KNOWN. Charles F. Croncber.

He was born in Gresham, and had lived nearly all his life in this part of the state. His occupation was that of a logger. He was a member of the Portland, lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose. qualntance with his creditor and had borrowed no money from him prior to the automobile accident. Finding that the loans were readily made, according to the theory of the police, Kisbey conceived the idea of enlisting some newspaper man in his scheme, whose part it would be to hold the threat of publication over the head of the Intended victim till the money was produced. To the one he ap proached he said that the victim, whose name he did 'not mention, was worth $50,000 and would be glad to pay the money rather than face publicity. Mr. Lively, when sought by the de tectives last night, could not be found, but a conference with htm will be sought today. If it results in satis factory confirmation of the facts now In hand, a charge of extortion may be placed against one or both of the pris oners.

Grace Dow. head telephone operator at the Oregon Hotel, was killed on the Base Line road early in the mo'rnlifg of July 31, while riding in an auto mobile with Karl V. Lively and R. E. L. Simmons. The car, going at the rate of 20 miles an hour, or more, struck a wagon and was ditched. The girl sustained a broken neck. Kisbey and Rase, with two girls, were proceeding out tthe road and ar rived a few minutes after the accident. They were flagged by one of the party and halted to take the young woman and Mr., Lively into their car and speed to a hospital. Rase says that as they turned the car around, the head lights shone upon another woman standing half concealed In the brush at the side of the road. He says that Kisbey saw the woman also and com mented on the fact at the time. Kis bey, though in a significant manner, now says that he saw only tne two men and the dead girl. After leaving Mr. Lively and the girl at the hospital, Kisbey and Rase went back to pick up Simmons, but he had walked In and they failed to encounter htm. ' Won Makes Cbmrae- That all the facts In the case were not brought out, and that there had been neglect on the part of Coroner Norden in not holding a public inquest, was a charge made by Governor West at the height of his recent operations In this city. Coroner Norden replied by showing that a private investiga tion had been made, showing the cause of death, and that an inquest was abandoned on representations of the dead girl's relatives that they did not desire an inquest. The District At torney also advised that no good pur pose could follow an inquest. . , Only recently, it appears, did Kisbey Republican, - Democratic and Bull Moose Organizations Hear but Little From East. Indications are that Oregon voters this yeai will be obliged to rely al most solely on home talent for pre senting the respective claims of the rival Presidential nominees. With the exception of the Progressive party, which has received assurances that Governor Johnson, Bull Moose nomi nee for Vice-President, will visit Ore gon during the campaign, neither of the three parties has received any satisfaction from their respective Na tional committees that outside speakers of prominence will be sent to this state. State Chairman Moores, of the Re publican organization, continues to bombard the Republican National Com mittee for spellbinders, but that Is about all the satisfaction he Is getting. State Chairman Haney, of the Demo cratic party, has despaired of securing the services of pro-Wilson orators, but is congratulating himself on having Senator Chamberlain and John M. Gear- in, both of whom will make several addresses. State Chairman Brown, of the Progressive party, is hopeful of getting, two speakers of National prominence in addition to Governor Johnson, but he does not have posi tive assurance that they will be sup plied. A. E. Clark, Progressive party nomi nee for United States Senator, last night spoke at Arlington. He will be at The Dalles tonight and Hood River tomorrow night. At 2 to clock this afternoon, J. Frank Burke will speak at the Polk County Fair at Dallas Next Tuesday the Bull Moosers of Jackson County have arranged for a barbecue at Medford. Following the feast, a political debate will be held In which a representative for each of the three parties will participate. Mr. Burke, of this city, will speak for Roosevelt. Tuesday night, Mr. Clark will deliver an address in advocacy of his Senatorial candidacy. T. B. Neuhausen has been delegated by the Bull Moose organization to have charge of the speakers' bureau so far as the general state campaign is con cerned. D. L. Povey will have charge of the speaking arrangements for the same party in Portland and Multno mah County. JOHNSON TALKS TO POLES Governor Says Roosevelt Party " Is for All Nationalities. BUFFALO, N. T., Oct. S. Governor Johnson made two speeches tonight, one at the Broadway Arsenal and an other at a Polish hall. He was escort ed to his meetings by about 400 mem bers of the Rough Riders' Club. At the Polish hall meeting the Gov ernor told his audience that the Roose velt Progressive party was formed for all classes and nationalities. "This is a party -for men and women of broad vision," he declared. "What we desire to accomplish is to make all men stand on an equal footing and let all have an equal start in life." Contrasting xhe Roosevelt Progres sive platform with those of the Re publican and Democratic parties, the Governor said it was unlike them in that it was plain and clear on every question It touched.

CAMPAIGN TACTICS CHANGE Candidate Charges Taft Failed to Alter Policies or Predecessor, Under Which the Trusts Grew on a Large Scale. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct J. For the first time during the National cam paign. Governor Wilson tonight di rected an extended attack on the ad ministrations of President Taft and former President Roosevelt. The - Governor charged that Colonel Roosevelt as President had been found "lncampetent." Mr. Taft, he said, had failed to alter the policies Inaugurated under President Roosevelt's adminis tration, "when trusts and monopolies grew upon a scale never before dreamed of." , ' " In the picturesque Illumination of a baseball park the Governor saw spread, before him tonight for several hundred feet hi the bleachers and on the field an Immense throng. Colonel Will Not Co-operate. '. Governor Wilson said in part: "You have the extraordinary spec tacle of two branches of the Repub lican party, both of them led by men clearly responsible for the very con dltlons which we are seeking to alter, and the reason that some of the in surgent Republicans are not following Mr. Roosevelt, the reason men like Mr. La Folletle for example, are not following Mr. Roosevelt is that they already have tested Mr. Roosevelt when he was President and have found that he was not willing to co-operate with them along ary line that would be efficient In the checking of the evils of which we complain. Leader Found Wanting. ' "So that the leader of the very move ment which is proposed for our eman cipation is a man who has been tried in this very matter and not found either willing or competent to accom pllsh the objects that we now seek. In order to confirm my view of the mat ter you have only to read Mr. La Fol- lette's biography. There in detail it Is told how Mr. La Follette and others like hlra carried proposals to the then President, Mr. Roosevelt, which would have made this campaign inconceiv able, and after he had consented to co operate with them he subsequently drew back and refused to co-operate with them under what influence I do not care to conjecture, because it is not my duty and it would be very dls tasteful to me to call in question the motives of this gentleman. That is not my object or desire. My object is merely to point out the facts, that the very conditions we are trying to rem edy were built up under these two gen tlemen who are the opponents of the Democratic party." T. R. Policies Assailed. , The Governor attacked the planks In the Progressive party platform pro posing social reform. "Is it not true," continued Governor Wilson, "That when Theodore Roose velt was President of the United States the people of the United States were willing to follow him wherever he led. and where did he lead them? When did he turn in the direction of this great uplift of humanity? How long was the conviction delayed? How im possible it was for him to see it when his arm was strong, to come to the succor of the weak, and now he has seen It, when he wishes to regain their confidence which by his failures to act he has forfeited." Governor ' Wilson, In addressing the National Conservation Congress preached a doctrine of conservation of human life in tleu of an expected dis course on the .conservation of natural resources. "The more widely we view the' field of obligation,'' he said, "the more clear ly it will appear that our duty Is only done in respect, of the laying of the foundations where we have conserved the natural resources of America, for these natural resources are of no conse quence unless there is a free and virile people to use them." The Governor expressed his profound sympathy with the whole work of the National Conservation Congress and his particular sympathy with that part which affects the vital energy of the people of the united States. ' Worst Governed Cities In America. The nominee said thatonly now the United States was putting the finishing touches to its Government. "Almost all the best-governed cities in the world," he continued, "are on the other side of the-water. Almost all the worst-governed cities in the civilized world are in America, and the thing that is most taxing our political genius is making a decent finish where we made such a distinguished begin ning. You can feel it under you as you traverse a city. You can feel it in the pavement; they are provisional, most of them have not been laid at all, and In jolting In the streets that are not the main thoroughfares of an American city, we reel tne jolt or un finished America. We haven't had time. or we have let the contract to the wrong man, but whatever Is the cause, we have not completed the Job In a way that ought to be satisfactory to our pride." - Flay la Part of Life. The Governor referred briefly to fac tory and labor conditions, saying: "Just so soon as you make It a mat ter of conscience with your Legisla tures to see to it that human life is conserved where modern processes touch It, just so soon as you make it the duty of society to release the hu man spirit occasionally on playgrounds surrounded with the beauty to give it even in the cities the touch of nature and the freedom of the open sky; just so soon as you realise and have all society realise that play and enjoyment are part of tne building up ox tne nu-. man spirit and that the load must sometimes be. lifted or else It will be a breaking load, then you will begin to see that your factories are doing better work."

DUNtWAY RALLY IS AIM SUFFRAGISTS TO HONOR VET ERAN WORKER OCTOBER 22 Oregon's Greatest Contributor to Fight for Women's Rights Will , Be 78 Years Old Then. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway will be 78 years of age on October 22. As a gentle compliment to Oregon's greatest worker for suffrage Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe, acting president of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage league, the or ganization brought into being by Mrs. Duniwav. has planned a great rally for that day, when some prominent sneaker will Kiva an address. At least one delegate from every county in the state will be present on that day, out of homage to the aged leader. Two telegrams have already passed between Mrs. Coe and Rabbi Wise, now of New Tork, but formerly one of Portland's prominent men, with the view of getting him to deliver the ad dress pn that occasion. Whether he will be anie to come nas not yet oeeu made known, but. an answer is ex pected within the next day or two. An option has been secured on- the Gipsy Smith auditorium for that day, and in all probability, the mass meet ing will be held there. Another method of advancing the cause in the short time that remains before election day is to have Sunday, October 27, set aside by every minister In the state as "Suffrage Day." To this end letters have been sent, or are now belner sent to every minister of every denomination in the state, asking tbem to set aside that day for suffrage ana asking them also to preach on the value and benefits of equal suffrage at least In one sermon. "We do not expect to get. absolutely every minister, but from the number of local pastors who are in favor both of the movement and the idea, we ex pect to get over 80 per cent, which In itself Would be a great argument for the cause," said Mrsr Coe yesterday. With the Idea of canvassing every county and every part as yet not visited by an organizer from any of the various societies, Mrs. Lillle Con ger, Mrs. Edith Tozler Weatherred and Mrs. Donald Robertson will start with in the next few days for different parts of the state. Special attention at first will be paid to Weston, Athena, Her mlston and Echo. For a week from next Tuesday, October 15, a large meeting has been planned for Montavllla, the first of a series in outlying districts, at which r,m(( Tiromlnont business or profes sional . man in the city will deliver the address.
