Con aentlno drew a .32-callber revolver and fired three shots at the lawyer, one of which struck him In the back, deflect ing upward from a rib and passing out ot the body In front of the left shoulder. A splinter of the rib pene trated the left lung, but the wound not expected to prove fataL The shooting occurred in room 407, Panama building. In the office of A. W. Bah Ike, an attorney, with whom Mr. Hume was conferring at the time. The room adjoins the office of Mr. Hume. With the primary intention of seeing H. C. Smith, a lawyer, whose office is with that of Mr. Hume. Consentlno, who is a barber, living at 387 Second street, called yesterday. Being told that Mr. Smith was at lunch he in slated upon talking to Mr. Hume. Told to get out of the office, resentment Ilatned, and when Mr. Hume naa re sumed bis conversation with Mr. Bahlke. the shots were fired from the doorway. Asaailaat Surrender Quietly. The man frave himself tip without resistence and even asked that the po lice be called. He was badly frightened at the result of his deed and later could offer no explanation for it, ex cept that he lost his temper and fired. scarcely knowing what he was doing. With I)r. C. H. Wheeler In attend ' ance. Mr. Hume lies at the Good Sa maritan Hospital, conscious and in little danger. Mr. Bah Ike's story of the shooting was as follows: "I was sitting alone In my office, which adjoins that of Messrs. Smith and Hume, when this man entered and Inquired for Mr. Smith. I told him that Mr. Smith had gone out for lunch. He then asked to see Mr. Hume and I told him Mr. -Hume was busy but that he could see him if he would wait a few moments. - "When Mr. Hume came in. Consen tlno asked him about the money, but Mr. Hume replied that he knew noth ing of it, and had no connection with the transaction, only representing Brunswick in the trial out ot friendship. "Mr. Hume turned to speak to me gain, when the caller, who bad started to leave, turned back, and interrupted us. Mr. Hume was mucn annoyed. " 'I have nothing to say about that matter.' he told the man. 'I am not interested in it and will not argue with you.' The man insisted that be must be Interested in the affair. " 'You go on out of here,' said Mr. Hume, taking the man to the door. 'Now stay out! Don't come back.' Attack Come TJnexpeetedly. "He then returned to resume his conversation with me. He had his back to the door when- Consentlno came back and, half hidden by the door, fired three shots. Two struck the wall, the third struck Mr. Hume in the back. I ran for the man, who was out in the hall by that time. Mr. Hume called to me and I re turned to find out how badly he was Injured. Are you hurt T I asked him. '1 don't know whether 1 am or not,' was his reply. 1 helped him take off his coat and vest. There was a hole visible in the vest lining and blood was beginning to flow." Mr. Hume's statement substantiated that of Attorney Bahlke. He told City Detectives Swennes and Moloney that he did not lay his hands on the man. but had ordered him out of the office. He admitted that it was a harsh com mand, but was so because the caller muttered something in dissatisfaction which Mr. Hume took to be a threat. A. M. Brunswick, an attorney asso ciated with Mr. Hume, was sentenced to Jail for an indeterminate term of one to 10 years, upon conviction in Cir cuit Judge Davis' court three weeks ago, for the embezzlement of $64.95 from Consentlno. The conviction did not satisfy Consentlno and since that period he has visited the offices of Mr. Hume and Mr. Smith several times The lawyers could not make him under stand that there was no opportunity for bim to collect the money that Bruns wick had spent. PLATFORM Fair Treatment to All Interests and Efficient Work Its Features. Some Indorsements Are Given Publicity. ANTI-FIGHT LAW IS ASKED Ma yor Wants Felon j Reduced Jail Sentence Offense. to To aid the police in suppressing prize fighting in Portland, Mayor Aibee has Instructed City Attorney LaRoche to prepare an anti-prizefighting ordinance to submit to the City Commission for passage. The measure, according to the Mayor's plans, will set out clearly the limits to which boxing" exhibitions can go and trill make violations pun ishable as misdemeanors Instead of as felonies, as is provided under the state law. The ordinance will provide that box ers may give exhibitions of skill ac cording to amateur rules, but must re ceive nothing for their services except medals, ribbons or plory. No money, merchandise or orders for merchandise or money will be permitted as prizes. Knockouts will be prohibited. The Mayor says the fact that the state law makes & violation of these rules a felony makes the prosecution of offend ers difficult. He proposes to. Ivive the ordinance in such form that violators can be sent to the City Jail. PAY FOR OFFICER ASKED Portland Heights Men Ask Council to Aid Man Shot by Robbers.

ALBANY, Or., April 7. (Special.) Joyful Anticipation of Motenooa There Is apt to be a latent apprehension r distress to mar the complete joy of expectation. But this is quits over come by the advice of so many women to use "Mother's Friend." This is an external application designed to so lubri cate the muscles and to thus so relieve the pressure reacting on the nerves, that the natural strain, upon the cords and liga ments is not accompanied by those severe pains said to cause nausea, morning sick. ness and many local distresses. Many people believe that those remedies which have .stood the. test of time, that have been put to every trial under the varying conditions of age, weight, general health, etc, may be safely relied upon. And judging by the fact that "Mother's Friend" has been In continual use since our grandmother's , earlier years and is Known tnroughout the United States it may be easily inferred that it is some thing that women gladly recommend. "Mother's Friend" is prepared onW in our own laboratory and is sold by drug gists everywnere. Ask lor a bottle to-day and write for a special book for expectant mothers.
