Son, Fred G. Tronson, murderer of
Emma Ulrich, will be formally charged
with murder In the second degree be
fore Municipal Judge Stevenson this
morning:. The case then will be sent to
the grand Jury.
The confession of Tro.naoz was cor
roborated In many details yesterday,
when, accompanied by Detectives
Swennes and Maloney and Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Collier, the murderer
went to Vancouver, Wash., and pointed
out the places In which he had pur
chased the revolvers, with one of which
he had killed the girl. He was found
to have registered in a rooming-house
there as "J. Johnson." Leading the de
tectives to where he said he had thrown
away his hat, Tronson found the hat.
lie had purchased a cap In Vancouver
and took those with him to the store
where the purchase was made.
Seen in Jail yeBterday. Tronson af
firmed his statement that he had killed
the girl because he could not have ber
himself
Tronson Wanted to Die.
"I cannot say I am sorry for what
I did," he said. "I am sorry that I was
caught, though, for I intended to make
a circuit through Washington and re
turn to Portland and kill myself on
the same spot where Emma died."
Mrs. Carl Smith, mother of the mur
dered girl, is bitter toward Tronson
and the authorities.
"I hope they hang him," she said
yesterday. In her bitterness she de
clared that she could see the authori
ties hanged with the murderer.
Mother Shows Bitterness,
"They let him out after he had
threatened to kill my girl." she said.
"How can they escape the blame?"
"At the time of Tronson'e arrest I
agreed to let him go, provided he would
leave town. My Idea was that he would
sweat out his infatuation In tjie fields,
Just like other cases we have to
handle," said Municipal Judge Steven
son of Tronson's release. "As a general
thing, men brought up for threatening
to kill get over the Idea soon and Tron
son's case appeared to be no excep
tlon."
Tronson did not remain out of the
city and on last Monday night shot
and killed Miss Ulrich. after waiting:
at her home, 1074 Corbett street. His
own story of the murder is:
Hands on Gun In Pocket.
"I stepped out and faced her as she
drew near. Her faofl went pale and
she drew back. I guess she could see
what was coming by looking in my
"eyes. I had on my overcoat, and my
hands were on the guns In its pockets.
" 'I have come to ask you again If
you will have me,' I said to hor. "It is
the last chance.'
" "Oh. no,' she said, putting her hands
to her face.
"Then," he paused and his eyes con
tracted, "she wheeled quick and started
to run around the side of the house. I
took out one of the revolvers and start
ed shooting. She kept on running,
with me close after her. I don't think
I hit her before she reached the house.
"The girl ran through the back door
and into the kitchen. Her mother was
standing there against the wall, with
a little boy held to her. She didn't
scream or say anything. She acted
like she was dazed. Emma ran on
through that room and another. She
uiuu i Bcreani ioua, eicner. cine vaf
moaning, more like as if she waa cry
ing than anything else.
Sister A Is in Room.
"There was another child In another
room and Emma's big sister was there,
too.
"I shot as Emma got to the bathroom
door and she fell there."
There was no emotion i& Tronson's
face or bearing. His story is well con
nected. "When I saw she lay still I thought
I had killed her, so I ran out the back
door. I threw away the revolver I
had killed her with. I was going to
shoot myself with the other one."
"The v widespread publicity given
Tronson's description by the news
papers did more toward effecting his
capture than could a hundred thousand
circulars mailed by the Police De
partment," said Chief Clark. "I desire,
on the behalf of the department, to
thank the papers of Portland for their
signal services in the pursuit of the
murderer."
'I believe Fred has committed suicide,
and I hope he has," declared the
murderer's brother, Charles, to Detec
tive Swennes during the latter's vigil
at the Tronson home. Mrs. Anna
Tronson. mother of the boys, was kept
from knowledge of her son's deed,
until the day he was caught, all news
papers being hidden from her.

MISS VERA DESMOND AND PETER VESCOV1 AS THEl DE
SCENDED AND AFTER THE TBIP FROM TOP OF THE SELLl.VU
BUILDING WAS FINISHED SUCCESSFVI.LY.
THRILLS If "RESCUE"
Test of New Fire Escape At
tracts Many Spectators.
GIRL CARRIED TO SAFETY
Inventor of Device Jvmpi From
12th-Story Window of Selling
Bulldins and Winda Self Down. -Slowly,
Stopping at Will.
To demonstrate the success of a
portable fire escape which he has In
vented. Peter Vescovl yesterday jumped
from a window on the 12th floor of
the Selling building and In view of a
large street assemblage let himself
down by the apparatus to a lower win
dow, where he stopped to pick up Miss
Vera Desmond, and continued down to
the sidewalk with her in his arms.
Successful accomplishment of the feat
brought loud cheers from the crowd.
The machine Is known aa the "Auto
safe Pocket Fire Escape." It consists
of a case resembling that of a wind
ing tape measure. There is a strap
arrangement which is fastened about
the body. Inside the case is a steel
line capable of holding 800 pounds of
dead weight. .The end of the line is
fastened to some solid fixture in a
window and the weight of the body
plays out the tape from the reel. The
case is attached to the strap arrange
ment which is placed about the body.
The speed of descent can be regulated
by the movement of a dial on the case
in which the steel line is coiled.
In yesterday's demonstration Mr.
Vescovl used a rope to fasten the de
vice to the upper window of the build
ing. Climbing out on the window-sill
he adjusted the belt about his body
and began his descent. When he
reached one of the lower windows he
stopped by turning the lever on the
case of his device. Miss Desmond,
who Is a member of the company play
ing at the Lyric Theater, had climbed
out on the window-sill and he took her
in his arms.. Again the lever was
pressed' and the, descent was made
slowly and safely. Another stop was
made 26 feet from the ground and the
crowd gathered about and cheered. The
descent to the sidewalk was made
slowly.
It is said the fire escape device Is a
success and may come into general
use. It occupies but little space and
can be used under almost any condi
tions. Other demonstrations are to be
made by its inventor.
BARN MEASURE NOT LIKED
Requirements ald to Bo Too Slnch
tor Small Pocketbooks.
Because It has been shown that the
city barn ordinance passed by the old
City Council in 1911 works a hardship
on many persons and exacts unreason
able things in connection with barn
construction if strictly enforced, an ef
fort is to be made to have the meas
ure amended, v
Under the ordinance a barn, no mat
ter how small, must be fitted with a
concrete floor and connected with the
sewer or drain into a cesspool.
Much complaint has come from the
campaign of the city health bureau to
require the construction of concrete
floors In all barns. It Is contended
that the concrete is no better than a
water-tight wooden floor. Complaint
is -made against the sewer requirement.
It is said that this involves a great
deal of expense which many poor peo
ple cannot stand.
Chief complaint has come from the
campaign to require concrete floors and
sewer connections in old barns.
UNEMPLOYED WILL PARADE
Permission Granted by Council Pro
vided Disreputable Class Barred.
A parade of the unemployed Is to be
held in Portland November 24. The
City Council yesterday agreed to permit
the procession which, according to the
SNAPPED IN NOVEL "POCKET"
EXHIBITION.
committee on arrangements. Is to be
held for the purpose of showing busi
ness men and city officials what the
conditions in Portland really are.
Permission for the parade was granted
on condition that the unemployed of
the North End and Industrial Workers
of the World type be excluded. The
committee composed of EJ. R. Dodds
and A, Duncan announced to the Coun
cil that the parade will be made up
almost entirely of married men who
want work and their families. .
At first the Council was inclined to
disapprove of the plan. The attitude
was changed by the argument that it
would be a faotor in advertising to
the unemployed of other cities of the
Northwest that Portland is not a good
place to come.
Efforts are to be made to keep the
"Won't Work" type out of the parade.
Committees of the Unemployed Protec
tive Association, recently organized,
will assist the police in endeavoring to
confine the makeup of the parade to
the respectable class of the unem
ployed. 'MILITARY' BOOK ASSAILED
Dr. Chapman Outlines Iiectnre on
"Germany and Next War."
Bernhardi's book on "Germany and
the Next War" is to be the subject of
Dr. C. H. Chapman's next lecture at the
T. M. C. A. An advance announcement
of the lecture says: "This work is of
so much current interest that It has
been thought best to substitute it for
the topic which had been scheduled
regularly for this lecture. Bernhardt
states with surprising frankness the
system of military philosophy which
seems to have dominated the German
mind for some years before the great
war broke out. He has gathered the
quintescence of Machiavelli. Nietzsche
and Treltschk-e.
"His book Is totally without morality.
It teaches the doctrine of wholesale
robbery. Insists that war Is tha mnml
duty of a nation and holds that weak
nations have no rights which the strong
are bound to respect. The mera m-
istence of such a book In the modern
world would be a fearful portent. That
It should have become comilur -In
country like Germany shows how easy
it is for the best of men to revert to
barbarous thoughts an.-i deeds."

clared today that he was innocent and
the Governor's action would give him
an opportunity to prove it. But for
that, he declared, he would rather be
banged than to have the prison sen
tence. "I am either guilty or not guilty,"
said Pender. "If I am guilty I ought to
be hanged. If I am innocent, and I am.
I ought to go free."
Although John F. Logan, counsel for
the man, assured Governor West when
he asked for the commutation that he
would make no effort to take advan
tage of the lack of a saving clause in
the amendment abolishing capital pun
ishment, if it is passed, to free Per.der,
the statement of Pender that he is inno

P01N0EXTER IS TARGET
OLE HAXSOX WA3TT9 SCALP OF
BULL MOOSE'S LOME SENATOR.
Reeent Candidate Against W. L. Josh
Vows to Defeat Party Leader
Who Dented Bias Support,
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Ola Hanson, recently a candidate for
United States Senator, is out for the
scalp of Senator Poindexter. To sev
eral of the state Bull Moose leaders
Mr. Hanson confided:
"I am going to wait and see which
ticket Miles -Poindexter runs on as a
candidate for re-election and then I am
going to file ah a candidate against
him and I'm going to defeat him for
the nomination.'
Senator Poindexter came to town a
couple of days ago and will be here
during the remainder of the week. He
arrived in the state too late to partici
pate in the last campaign and this fact
is responsible for the coolness which
exists between Ole Hanson and the lon6
Bull Moose of ths Senate. Mr. Hanson
believed he was entitled to Senator
Poindexter'. support and that is why
he has declared to his friends that he
is waiting for the Senator to Jump be
fore he announces his own candidacy at
the 1916 election. In the meantime Mr.
Hanson's friends assert that he is keep
ing "perfectly cool."
That Senator Poindexter wants to
take a later survey of the political
field is the firm conviction of Bull
Moose partisans who attended last
night's conference or who have cau
cused with the Spokane Senator during
his stay at the Hotel Butler. A re
juvenation of the Bull Moose party
might keep him in that organization,
otherwise the Bull Moose politicians
declare he is apt to appear as a Re
publican or Democratic aspirant for re
election. That he wants another term
in. the Senate is understood.
