NEIGHBORS ARE SUSPICIOUS Chain of Circumstantial Evidence Followed In San Antonio Lead ing to Arrest of Man and Wire in Eugene for Murder. Solution of the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis and Miss Beatrice Nelms may depend on the slim clew of the famous "death letter" supposedly sent by Mrs. Dennis from San Fran cisco to her toother in Atlanta, accord ing to information Just received In Portland from San Antonio. In this letter Mrs. Dennis said she had killed Beatrice in New Orleans and was go ing to kill her brother Marshall in San Francisco. Victor E. Innes, ex-depaty United States District Attorney for Nevada, and Mrs. Innes are now under aiyert in Eugene, charged with murder, and await the arrival of authorities from San Antonio, Tex., with extradition papers. The mysterious "death letter" does not close with the startling murder statement. From there It goes along calmly and coherently with a discus sion of family affairs. It Is not at all the sort of a letter a deranged woman would write, it is declared. Typewriter Is Sought. Search for the typewriter on which it was written is a clew which is be ing followed. This machine was a No. 10 Remington with a defective letter "o." The manager of a typewriter exchange in San Antonio says Mr. and Mrs. Innes spent half a day in his of fice writing and copying letters. While writing one letter in particular, he says, their actions" were suspicious. The information received here tells of various suspicious circumstances at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Innes in San Antonio. They occupied a bunga low in that city for aboutt hree weeks. The condition of this house after their departure, it is said, indicates that a crime may have been committed there. Varnish on the floor of the hall and bathroom was found to have been re moved in spots, showing the effects of hard scrubbing and strong acid. Over all the windows comforts and canvas had been suspended. A small hole in one of the blinds had been covered with a piece of court plaster. The purchase of an unusual amount of cleaning compound at a nearby gro cery store is given as another sus picious incident Actions Attract Attention. For two or three days, it is s.iid, Innes was seen hard at work in the back yard burning something in a gal vanized iron stove. A detective named" It. T. Green watched him curiously one day. Innes saw Green watching him and turned his back and poured more 011 into the stove. Two toilet bottles were found back of the barn and alongside a high board fence. They both bore labels of the Elkin Drug Company, Atlanta. Mar shall Nelms declares the perfume con tained in one bottle was the kind his sister Beatrice always used. The other bottle contained zinc benzoin. According to the story as it is told in Atlanta and in San Antonio. Mrs. Dennis was to have married Innes in the latter city. It was for this reason that she left Atlanta on June 10. Beat rice, it is said, had become suspicious over some investments Innes was sup posed to be making for her sister, and had demanded securities for the money Mrs. Dennis had turned over to him. To arrange this matter, Innes, it is declared, agreed to meet Beatrice in San Antonio on June 14. Sisters Drop From Sight. When they left Atlanta, the sisters said they would be back in a week. They did not come, and no definite word has been heard irom tnem since. On June 15 Detective Green says he saw Innes getting aboard a streetcar in San Antonio with a woman who answered the description of Beatrice. That IS the last time either of the sis ters has been seen, so far as is known. When Mr. and Mrs. Innes left their home in San Antonio, they took witn them three trunks, a box of books, and two suitcases said to be similar to Two Through Trains to Chicago No Change of Cars Via Minneapolis and St. Paul Drawing-Room and Compartment Standard Sleeping Cars, Tourist Cars, Coaches; Dining Cars, with Real Dining Service that our patrons appreciate.

President Wllaon'a advocacy of the Mil te be Introduced In Oongreaa tomorrow for (lovernment purchase of merchant ahlpa b longing to belligerents has arouaed the Jealous attention of the marlllma natlona at war. Besides the International aspect of tM question, there la another and serloua nna which la brought to the attention of Secre tary McAdno today by J. Pierpont Morgan, the New York bankir. Mr. Morgan offerad objectiona to th plan for Clovernui'nt pur chase of tha Hamburg-American teajnera on tha ground that It la likely to lad to embarrassment to the ISovernment In tha end and ba dlaadvantageoua to tha eilat Ing ateamahtp llnea. The foregoing Is from A Washing ton dispatch hy John Callan ( I.aughlln. printed on tho first page of The Ore.ro nlan yesterday. rn, rolorrd In Influence I'libllr. This kind of "news" is Intended to defeat Uovernment ownership of merchant vessels. Uncle Sam. bolng a neutral rower, has the right to buy merchant vessel" If he so desires. N nation would have the right to capture or sink such ves sels, unless at the time aiding an op posing belligerent by carrying to them arms or munitions of war, The three big steamship I ompanlen crossing the Atlantic are the "White Star," "The Cunard" and "The Hamburg-American I-lne." The first two are English, and the last la Ceiman. The latter owns the "1 mperator." the largest vessel afloat. We now have a chance to buy the vessels of the Hamburg-American line In our porta, and the President favors the Idea. 1 stand with the President, and have wired tlie Clerk of the House to pair m- f'r the passage of tho hill If II COBMW to h veto before I arrive hack In Washington. Favora llulldlna ' ernment Hhlpa. A year ago I delivered a carefully prepared speech on the floor of the House advocating the buillln and operation of a fleet of I'lo large mer chant vessels. Our M porta bclnaT $2,000,000 a year, and our Imports 1, 500,000, practically all Bf which l now carried both ways by foreign ships, wa could well afford to build a fleet of our own. Such a fleet as I suggest would cost 1800.000,000, or twho the amount of the Panama Canal. I estimated the cost of each vaaaal at i. 000,000. At that price the ships would be the largest and finest In the world. It would requlro (tO.uoO blue jackets to man tha 100 vessels, thus giving us the largest force of tr. lined sailors In the world. The fleet would be auxiliary to our navy, and would give to us such power on the high seaa as has never been dreamed of by anr nation heretofore. But. at the same time, this fleet would pay for Itself In less than IS years, provided we carried only half our own outgoing and Incoming com merce. We now pay ocean frelghta amounting to t.liO.000.000 a year on our over-the-seas trade. Should our fleet carry only half our commerce (and It would have the capacity to carry It all our Income would be liTS.OOO.ooo a year from frelghta. The malls and the paa sengcr fares would meet the cost of operating tha ahlps. see World I acler liaerlr.a Flag. Ownership by tho Nation of su h a fleet as 1 have proposed would enabla Americana to travel anywhere under our own flag. It would give (o that It Justly should have In shaping- tha destinies of nations. Sapole-n had ambitions to be Kmpcror of tha world My ambition Is to are America Hepubllcanlse tha world by tha forca of her example. Not only should we own the ships, hut wo should own all uatur;il monopo lies on land. The Government aliould own and operate the railroads, tele graphe. and telephones and tha l'"-cel post should be made to supersede tha express companies. The various cltle. should own their own water works, gas and electric light plants, stieetrar systems and local telephones. Coat of Living Wonld be lleduced. The American people now pay 30.:.7 each to the railroads per year. This Is $1 "iS.S5 that each family of five pays yearly. This transportation bill wmilal be cut down at least one-half under Government ownership. We could buy the railroads today at their physical value if Congress would pass a law to that effoct, and authorizing the sale or the bonds to pay for same. The road would pay for themselves In less thM 15 years at present rates, and In 30 years with the rates reduced ona-haU No employes would be discharge lho Government now owns the 1 "" Kallroad and steamship line. paying over 30 per cent annual profits on Its capitalization of 17.000.000 Savings to the people through lab ile ownership of tolophones. telegraphs, gas and electric light works and street car systems would be even greater lU proportion than on the railroads, and would bring the total annua "v."S to each citizen up to at least -'-nually. or at least 1300 a year to each family of five.
