City May Buy St. Johns Mains.
The Portland water bureau is at liberty
to lay a system of mains in St. Johns
if it desires, according to an opinion
written yesterday by City Attorney
LaRoche. He says the St. Johns
Water Works & Lighting Company,
which owns the water system there
now, has no exclusive franchise or
rights. The owners of the St. Johns
system have offered to sell the plant
to the city for $130,000. Commissioner
Daly has received this offer, and while
considering it has investigated to see
if the water bureau of Portland could
not lay its own system at lesser cost.

' you happened to be near the water
front yesterday morning
after 9 o'clock, when the steamer Rose
City left for San Francisco with the
Governor of Idaho, Moses Alexander
and his party on board, and if you hap
pened to know that 17 g-uns is the of
ficial recognition that a Governor re
ceives, what did you think when four
widely scattered reports from the
cruiser Boston, the training ship for the
Oregon Naval Militia, were all that
sped the departing Governor?
Late Thursday, Lieutenant - Com
mander Blair, of the Oregon Naval
Militia, received orders to fire a salute
from the Boston when the Governor's
party was leaving on the Rose City.
Since the War Department allows the
Oregon Naval Militia but 120 rounds of
saluting ammunition a year, and inas
much as that amount was fired months
ago. the Naval Militiamen have been
manuiaciuring their own ammunition
for some time. So when the order was
received to lire the salute. Captain
51air ordered the ammunition for the
six-pounders to be made up. In the ab
sence of the chief gunner and his mate.
the lot of making the charges fell to
tne yeomen. They reloaded 17 shells,
and got them ready for the morning's
salute.
When 9 o'clock came yesterday morn
ing, the shells all lay beside the six
pound gun, and two gunners awaited
the order to fire. The Rose City, her
sides black with the expectant passen
gers, cast loose, and backed up so that
she might be opposite the Boston. As
soon as the steamer reversed her en
gines and started downstream the order
tire' was given. The trigger snapped,
but no report followed. Another cart
ridge was thrown in, and again the or
der was given. Still no report. The
gunners changed to another six
pounder. Another cartridge was thrown
in, and one loud report greeted the
members of the Governor's party, now
well down stream. All 17 cartridges
were tried, but four were all that re
sponded to the click of the trigger.
And now Governor Alexander is
wondering what his official capacity is,
and Commander Blair is writing a let
ter of explanation.
NATIONAL BACK TO FILM
"THE GIRL. FROM VASSAR" SEEN
FOR LAST TIME TOMGHT,
"The Riiiht ot Way" to Be Leader of
First-Run Series of Hish-CIass
Pictures to Be Shown.
"My trouble is all on account of peo
ple not wanting to pay for their sew
ing. Oh, If I had quit my foolishness
and married!"
Miss Edna Turner, aged 32, wrote
the above lines, and at 8:30 yesterday
morning, yielding to despondency,
leaped from the window of her dress
making shop on the fourth floor of the
Fliedner building, Tenth and Washing
ton streets. A clothes-line in the yard
of C. P. Scott, 105 Tenth street, served
to partially break her fall, and she was
not killed but sustained a broken right
arm and internal injuries which may
result in death.
No one saw the actual leap, but the
window was so situated that an acci
dental fall was improbable. The doors
of the rooms were bolted from the in
side, and entrance was gained by the
police through a transom. On a table,
with a corner held down by a Bible,
was the note Miss Turner had written.
Portions of it were almost incoherent.
' Relationships Sot Khotib.
The young woman lived in her quar
ters in the Fliedner building. She
came to Portland about two months
ago, according to Fred Schwenche, su
perintendent of the building. Nothing
is known of her relatives and she did
not regain full consciousness yesterday
at the hospital. She was formerly in
partnership with Miss L. MacMillan,
whom she accuses in her note of caus
ing trouble that resulted in the dissolving-
of partnership.
A. A. Moyer. 521 East Davis, was
working on Tenth street, and saw the
woman's body falling. It slid through
the branches of a tree and struck a
clothesline with such forceas to tear
10-inch nails holding the line from
their moorings. An ambulance rushed
her to the Good Samaritan Hospital.
There it was found that the bone of
her right arm had snapped and that
there were serious internal injuries,
the exact nature of which could not be
determined. The drop was about 50
feet.
Remorse Is Asserted.
In the note telling of her intention.
Miss Turner wrote of remorse that she
could scarcely stand. It was concluded
with the following lines: "Please don't
accuse anyone of this. I am better off.
My conscience is clear. I have worked
hard to get my things and they are
paid for, and now I have to leave them
to someone else. If I had only quit my
foolishness and married. If only I had I
chloroform, how much easier.
Motorcycle Patrolman Bales and De
tectives Royle and Moloney investi
gated the attempted suicide. Miss Mac
Millan told the officers that she knew
little about her former partner in the
dressmaking business.
