I THT! MOT?VTXR OKEGOXIAIT, ' TUTJItSDAT, MAY 25, 1916. FSISTMAN'S BUCKSKIN GAUNTLET IS FOUND Deputy Sheriff Phillips and Party to Scour Woods Along Probable Route. FARMER MAKES DISCOVERY feiierirr " Exact Ilurlburt Refuses to Tell Spot "Where Kind Was Made, but it AVas AVithin Two Miles of Gore Ranch. A buckskin gauntlet, such as Is worn by automobile drivers, was found by Sheriff Hurlburt and deputies a mile and a half from Tualatin, on a byroad yesterday, and has been identified as one worn by Fred Ristman, the chauf feur who disappeared the night of the Helen Jennings murder. This latest clew in the search for the body of the missing jitneur is expected to prove a valuable one, and Deputy Sheriff Bob Phillips will leave Portland at 5 o'clock this morning with a party of deputies to scour the woods along what he is new convinced was the prob able route of the machine carrying Kistman and his murderer. Don Du Mas. Jitneur and friend of Kistman, was asked by Deputy Sheriff Phillips yesterday to describe the kind of gloves worn by Kistman. Glove Easily Identified. N "They were gray" buckskin gloves, with gauntlet tops," answered Du Mas. "Is that one of them?" asked Deputy Phillips, holding out the glove found .yesterday. -"" - "It certainly Is," was the positive reply. Sheriff Reeves was called on the tele "phone. A single gauntlet had been found on the front seat of Ristman's blood-smeared automobile. Its de scription fitted exactly that of the one found. "For which hand is that glove?" Sheriff Reeve was asked. "Left," he answered. Glove Found lH for Right Hand. The glove brought to Portland was for the right hand the mate to the other. The glove had been picked ud in the road Tuesday morning, a week ago, by a farmer and fitted on a post by the roadside. There it was found yesterday by Sheriff Hurlburt. Inquiries soon revealed the original finder, who said that to the best of his knowledge he found it the morning following the murder. The location of the by-road on which the glove was found has not been dis closed by Sheriff Hurlburt, as he de sires jjeputy Phillips to te unnampereu in his search by volunteers, who might unwittingly disturb essential clews. Phillips Gives Theory. wejjuij' runups iioures Luai uie au tomobile reached the spot at which the glove was found as night settled down -and a wind came up. He thinks that 'Ristman drew his gloves from under the seat to relieve his cold hands, and Neither dropped one1 accidentally or had "It torn from his hand in a death". slrug- .-gie. lr he was Kinea near tnis place, --the body must be between there and the Gore ranch, a distance of two miles. it is reasoned. Sheriff Reeves, of Washington Coun ty, yesterday discovered spots on the sleeve lining of the blue serge suit ' Bennett Thompson is wearing, and be rlieves they will respond to the blood .'test. If so they would match the ;.plotches on the sleeve of the shirt .found near the murder farm. The matching of the undershirt of '-Thompson's and the shirt found near "the murder is the most important clew the authorities have, they assert, to ' -incriminate Thompson. There is "graphite on the front of the shirt found .jnear the Gore ranch. There is a trace of a black substance on the front of -..the undershirt, which matches as well .-as the blood stains. Z Thompson is reported to have lost Tsome of his sang froid because of his "continued incarceration at Hillsboro, '.jnd he yesterday demanded of District Attorney E. B. Tongue, of Washington County, when he would be released. He was told it would be when he satisfac torily explained his whereabouts the night of the murder. ;W00D HAULING CHECK $235 City Makes Final Settlement With Contractor Hart. - Charles R. Hart, who holds the con tract for hauling the city's wood from the unemployment camps near Linn ton to purchasers in Portland, was given a check for $235.01 by the City Counci yesterday in final settlement for all wood hauled by him to date. The amount paid was $400 less than the total amount of the bills presented by Mr. Hart and approved by the city's Purchasing Bureau, but caught up in the City Auditor's office. The extra claims were for services which, it was found, had never been performed by Mr. .Hart. For nearly a month a force of clerks and accountants has been working day after day trying to straighten out the tangle of the wood transactions, due to slipshod methods of keeping rec- oras.

Friends of the Governor charfre-J Mayor . ill tchel with, responsibility for the discourtesy. The Mayor disclaimed it, saying that he had nothing to do with the invitations. After Mayor Mitchel, .General Leon ard Wood and Rear-Admiral Usher had for hours witnessed the march pass, from the official stand at Fifth avenue and Twenty-fifth street, some one asked "Where is Governor Whit man?" m A much be-medaled, grayheaded man replied, "I, as a member of the reception committee, by authority of Charles H.

CALIFORNIA RUN SLATED Bolinder Engines, tnit Handling System, and Late Model Cargo Ris and Gear Arrange ment Are l-'eatures. In eight months the St. Helens Ship building Company is to turn out a lumber carrier for the California & Oregon Lumber Company, of Brookings. Cal., that will be constructed along the lines of a steam schooner except that the motive power will be two Bo linder engines of 20-horsepower each, driving twin screws. The vejssel is to cost about 1135,004) and will have a lumber capacity of 650.000 feet. The lumber concern intends using the vessel between Brookings, which is near Crescent City, and ian Francisco, and the carrying capacity given is based on fir lumber. She will be 180 feet over all, with a beam of 42.6 feet and depth of hold of 16 feet. Other than her. machinery, the vessel will differ from others of the model "built and under way on the river in that she will handle lumber in units of about 3000 feet each, being patterned in that respect largely after the C. A. Smith Lumber Company's vessels, the steam ers Nann Smith and Adeline Smith, which load in units at the Marshfleld plant for the San Francisco market. New Illg Devised. Krnest Hough, a San Francisco ma rine architect, has patented a new cargo rig which requires that steel booms be used, and the gear arrange ment differs from that utilized now on steam schooners. ' A vessel of the gen eral type of the one contracted for by the St. Helens interests is on the stocks on Grays Harbor for the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, she having Bolinder engines, but there are no others like them on the Coast. Two steam schooners being built for the Charles R. McCormlck Company at Astoria, at Wilson Bros." yard, are un der way, there being 25 frames of the first vessel in place and the keel of the second has been laid. That firm made a most favorable start in getting mate rial together, and the work of assem bling it has consequently been rapid. At the McEachern yard, on Young's Bay, Astoria, the first motorship or auxiliary schooner has been started, and It is understood others will follow. St. Melons Yard Bnsiy. At the St. Helens yard a large force is very busy finishing the City of Portland, rushing -ork on the City of St. Helens and starting a third motor- ship for the McCormlck line, while two are building for .Mobile Interests. At the site of the Peninsula Ship building Company's plant the dredge Tualatin has resumed digging for the fill, and as soon as the condition of the fill permits, ways will be erected. The dredge Willamette Is getting along sat- sfactorlly with the till for the new steel shipbuilding plant adjoining that of the Northwest Steel Company, and the prospects are that she will end her labors there this week. Still other rirojects are in the air. one of the latest reports being that a site may be selected at olumbia City for a yard: also that inquiries continue to be received from those wishing to contract for ships, so. with the business now in sight, the 1916 season is cer tain to be the busiest the river has ex perienced. INDEPKXDEXTS HAVE FOLDEK Portland to Have Frequent Service to California This Season. Competition between regular and in dependent lines operating between Portland and California has developed an innovation on the part of the latter in the way of advertising folders and a sample of one being published, by the McCormlck line was received yesterday by Frank Bollam. Portland passenger agent. In the folders of the) Great Northern Pacific and "Big "hree" lines, as well ras the independents, coiumoia mver scenery is made a strong feature and attractions at California harbors are set forth as well. Next month the tur- biners Northern Pacific and Great Northern will be in service, and th "Big Three" liners will be on their regular five-day schedule.

ROSE CITY TAKES EXPORTS Paper Shipments Go to Several Pa cific Harbors From Portland. Freight aboard the Rose City yester day reminded many of the waterfront contingent of the Oriental service of the past, for there were consignments for Hilo, Honolulu, Shanghai and Ma nila, with another for Corlnto. Most of the stuff was paper. Captain Rankin took his vessel sea ward with about all the cargo that could be stowed, while in the way of passengers 100 were listed. The steamer Bear was tardy reach ing the river yesterday from California, and left Up at 2:15 o"clock. Among her passengers, was Harbormaster ' Jack Speier. Marine Jiotes. . Formal acceptance of the turbines aboard the dredge Tualatin Is to be made at a spe cial session of the Port of Portland Cora, mluoloit this afternoon. Members of the Board visited the Tualatin yesterday morn ing and it is understood they found the ma chinery satisfactory. The Board will also take up the matter of a new towboat to re place the steamer Ocklahama. It is under stood recommendations will be for another stern wheeler, but more powerful than the former boat.

"The great state of Texas remembers no more the offense of this citizen, and bids him godspeed through life. The above is the language of the closing sentence used by Governor Ker guson in the official paper handed each of 30 convicts just pardoned at Camp Maory, Tex. These 30 state convicts had been cleaning up Camp Mabry since March 25. The Adjutant-General, anticipating a mobilization of the Texas National Guard, owing to the crisis in Mexico, wanted to be prepared for the troops, and these 30 convicts were detailed from the penitentiary to fix up the regular camping ground of the Texas soldiers. They performed their duties well and faithfully, at no time under guard, being placed upon their honor not to escape. They made their own rules for the government of their camp and the work accomplished saved the state 2000. The Governor was not satisfied with telling the convict that the state burled the memory of his past offenses, but recommended him to the people as one to be trusted. This placing of convicts at work in some country .place on their honor was first tried by ex-Governor Colquitt two years ago. Several hundred were rut to work on the public roads near Lin dale. One man only ran away, but the convicts themselves brought him back. Governdr Ferguson now proposes to extend this plan as far as possible and give every 'short-term convict a chance to redeem himself. Within the next few days he will take 30 more from the penitentiary and prison farms and put them to cleaning up the ground where Fannin and his men were massacred by the Mexicans in 1836,.which is to be made a state park.

Once more the Or gron Humane So ciety has run up against grief in its proposals for dog pound sites. After having been turned down on five pro posed sites within the city the society, through President Cowperthwait, has settled on a site on Foster road near Ints Junction just outside the city. The selection has raised the wrath of Dr. Harry McKay, who has a beauti ful suburban home and park on a tract adjoining that selected for the pound. Dr. McKay called on members of the City Council yesterday and urced them to prohibit the pound from being es tablished on the site. He declares that the pound will ruin his suburban place, which represents an investment of $35,000. Dr. McKay says the Humane Society has negotiated for the purchase a littln more than one acre and to lease an acre and a half. Humane Society of ficials say that the latest site is idcAl. Dr. McKay says he will take his fight into the courts if necessary.
