Axel Nelson, of Vancouver, Vic
. tim of Portland Tragedy.
JEALOUSY THEORY IS HELD
Eva Gibson, Companion of Victim
Shortly Before Shooting, Is De
tained by Police, Who Inti
mate She Is Reticent.
Axel Nelson, 28 years old, was shot
and killed evidently early yesterday
morning by an unidentified person, as
he sat on the steps of the old United
States saloon building at Water and
Harrison streets In South Portland.
He wu employed as a steel worker on
the Interstate bridgre by McCreary &
Willard, under contract to Porter Bros.,
and lived at 810 Esther street, Van
couver, Wash.
Eva Gibson, of 227 Market street,
Nelson's companion on the eve of the
murder and for whom the detectives
had sought until late yesterday after
noon, is held in the City Jail as a ma
terial witness.
Passerby Finds Body.
The body of Nelson was found at
B:15 yesterday morning by A. T. Wag
ner, of 1578 East Glisan street, who
happened to be passing. Glancing at
the quiet figure that reclined against
the door, Wagner thought that the man
was in a drunken sleep. He reported
the case to Patrolman Helms, who at
once investigated.
Nelson had been dead eeveral hours.
In his chest, Just to the right of the
heart, was a single bullet wound. The
bullet had passed diagonally through
the body, emerging at the back and
denting the door-casing. It had bound
ed into the street and was later picked
up by City Detectives Craddock and
Goltz. proving to be of large caliber,
presumably 41. The body was removed
to tho public morgue by Deputy Cor
oner Smith.
Robbery Apparently Not Motive.
Death had come to Nelson as he was
seated, and robbery apparently was not
the motive of his slayer. At his feet
lay several cigarette stubs, evidencing
that he had sat there for some time,
probably In conversation with the per
son who shot him. A gold watch and
S8 in money were In his pockets. The
right trousers pocket was pulled out,
and some email change It contained
was scattered on the sidewalk. It is
the theory of the officers that Nelson
himself Jerked the pocket out in re
moving his hand when the bullet
truck him.
Considerable diffloulty was experi
enced in Identifying the victim and lo
cating his residence. Detective Cap
tain Baty and Detectives John Price,
Craddock and Goltz were summoned aa
soon as the body was discovered and
worked incessantly until late after
noon. ' The dead man's name was
learned from the maker's identifica
tion label on an inner coat pocket.
This and several scribbled telephone
numbers afforded the only clews.
Woman Friend Gives Clew.
From one of these telephone numbers
Detectives Goltz and Craddock traced
Mrs. Edith Hall, a former friend of
Nelson's. When questioned at the De
tective Bureau she said that she had
known Nelson and had been friendly
with him. but that she did not see him
on the evening before his body was
found. She had, however, been In the
company of his friend, Ted Salln, of
201 Washington etreet. Vancouver,
that evening. The search spread out
for Salln, with whom Nelson came to
Portland.
After her release Mrs. Hall tele
phoned to mutual friends at Vancouver
and word was taken to Nelson's cousin.
Elof Norman, of 810 Esther street, that
city, with whom he had roomed for the
past year. Norman came at once to
Portland and at the morgue made the
first positive identification of the mur
dered mast.
Man's Movements Traced.
In the meantime City Detective
Price had found that Nelson appeared
in a poolroom and soft drink place
conducted by Henry Swanson at 335
First street at 11 o'clock Saturday
night. Swanson identified the body at
the morgue as that of a late-hour cus
tomer who entered the barrom and or
dered "near beer" for the loungers. He
purchased two packages of cigarettes
and reeled out.
Detective Captain Baty based his
hopes on the finding of a woman
named "Eva," whom Mrs. Hall had
heard Nelson and Salln speak of, and
with whom he was in company on the
evening before his body was found.
It was first necessary to locate the
dead man's chum, Salin. He was found
late in the afternoon by Detectives
Goltz and Craddock and was completely
unnerved when he learned of Nelson's
death. He accompanied the officers
readily to the rooms of Eva Gibson,
227 Market street. Both he and the
woman were taken to the police sta
tion. Salln Searcbea for Nelson.
Salln said that he and Nelson came
over from Vancouver early in the even-

Indian Girl of TJnspellable Name
Gives Them to Portland Rep
resentative of Packers.
Tennyson's story of the Sleeping
Princess has nothing on the history of
seven fish of a. typically Alaskan va
riety which are now swimming about in
a basin of water in the room of S. R.
Brebner at the Palace Hotel. Mr.
Brebner, who is connected, with the
Alaska-Portland Packers' Association,
brought the fish back with him from
Nushagak on the salmon ship Levi G.
Burgess.
. "The name of these fish is Chinda
gaks," said Mr. Brebner last night, with
a wave of the hand, by way of Intro
duction. "You pronounce it with a
cough and, a grunt."
The fish of that species, according to
Mr. Brebner, inhabit lakes in the vicin
ity of Nushagak. They are hardy and
a little thing like cold weather tails
to discourage them In their determina
tion to live.
The seven fish brought to Portland
were found frozen fast In a cake of ice,
where they had been for probably seven
or eight months. They were thawed
out by an Indian girl belonging to a
tribe in that vicinity. The girl shall
be "nameless here forevermore" for
the reason that her name is unspellable
upon an ordinary typewriter.
The fish are still very much alive. In
spite of the fact that they are now
2450 miles from their original home
and have Just undergone a voyage of
27 days, swimming about In a small
tin can.

World Is Divided Into
Groups for Trade.
FOUR CLASSES PROVIDED FOR
Ally, Friendly Neutral, Neutral,
Enemy, Come in Order.
FREE TRADE IS ABANDONED
Change to Protection Expected to
Yield $375,000,000 Yearly Rev-
enue Difficulties to Be Put
In Way of Enemies.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 17. Division of
the world into economic strata sep
arated by tariff walls and classified as
allies of the British empire, friendly
neutrals, unfriendly neutrals and en
emy countries, is urged by the London
Chamber of Commerce. To clear the
ground for this world reconstruction
the Chamber concludes in a special re
port, a copy of which has Just been re
ceived here, that abrogation of all
'most-favored-natlon" treaties. Includ
ing that with the United States, is in
evitable.
Free trade would be abandoned and a
series of graded tariffs proposed in line
with the present war groupings of the
nations.
Graded Tariff System Proposed.
All imports would be divided as fol
lows: Wholly manufactured goods,
semi-manufactured goods and. articles
solely used as raw material" in indus
tries, manufactured foodstuffs and raw
foodstuffs. All parts of the British em
pire and its allies would pay minimum
duties; friendly neutrals which allow
the United Kingdom most favored
treatment would, pay twice as much;
other neutrals, giving preference to
other powers and including neutrals
which might be swung Into the Teu
tonic commercial system would pay a
still greater tax; and ail "enemy"
countries would pay the maximum du
ties, running up as high as 30 per cent.
Roughly it is estimated in the report
that this change from free trade to
protection would net a yearly revenue
of about $375,000,000.
Trade Precautions Urged.
Every precaution Is urged in the re
port to assuage neutral nations to pre
vent them from making commercial al
liances with enemy countries after the
war. The difficulties are spoken of as
follows:
"It must also be remembered that
our allies have tariff arrangements
still 'in force with other foreign coun
tries which it is assumed must be ab
rogated before any preferential trade
arrangements can be made with the
British empire as a whole.

Is Floated Into Position.
NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 18. A
persistent report from apparently re
liable sources that the German under
sea merchantman Bremen was approch
lng this port last night lacked confirm
ation early this morning. The first re
port said that a submarine was seen off
Fisher's Island In Long Island Sound at
9 o'clock last night headed for New
London, a two-hour run. Credence was
attached to the report when the Ocean
going tug T. A. Scott, Jr., put out to
sea under hurried orders..
A newspaper tug, which followed the
T. A. Scott, Jr.. returned Just before
midnight with the information that
there was a heavy fog over the Sound
and nothing had been seen of a subma
rine. At midnight the T. A. Scott, Jr..
had not returned.
Another submarine was sighted late
at night at Ocean Beach during a tem
porary lift of the fog.
The second submarine arrived in the
lower harbor about 3 A. M. and an
chored in a heavy fog. It is believed
that she is a United States vessel of
the L" class.
The tug T. A. Scott. Jr., still re
mained outside the harbor. It was
stated definitely that she had repre
sentatives of the Eastern Forwarding
Company on board and that the Ger
man submarine was expected.

resented by the 15 Republicans are
New Mexico, Minnesota. Wyoming, Del
aware. Wisconsin, Rhode Island. Mas
sachusetts. North Dakota, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington,
Utah, Michigan and California, In
none of these states is there any doubt
of the success of the Hughes and Fair

"As to the Senatorshlps, only two
may be considered doubtful Washing
ton and Wyoming and in these the
undoubted strength of the National
ticket will serve to elect the Republican
Senatorial candidates.
"The states represented by Democrats
are Arizona, Florida, West Virginia,
Texas, Nebraska, Indiana (2), Tennes

New Tork, Nevada, Ohio, Missouri, Vir

Tfeeary Gain Predicted.
"Out of these 17 places the Repub

cate Without Foundation.
LONDON. Sept. 17. M. Kalogeropolus.
the new Greek Premier, declares that
the new government will observe the
most benevolent neutrality toward the
entente, says a Reuter dispatch from
Athens today.
"He repudiates allegations that he
Is Germanophlle," adds the dispatch,
"although he confesses that he is an
admirer of Germany."
BERLIN, via London. Sept. 17. Baron
George Bareza. attache of the Austro
Hungarlan legation at Athens, who has
arrived at Sofia, says a dispatch from
that capital, declares that the rumors
that King Constantine may abdicate
are absolutely unfounded. The King,
says the attache, though a nick man.
Intends to remain on the throne at all
costs and is becoming increasingly
popular with his subjects.
Baron Bareza who had some diffi
culty in reaching Sofia after his ex
pulsion from Greece, paints Greece afi
wholly shut in and without the vaguest
idea of the happenings in the rest of
the world. He considers the situation
not hopeless, however, in view of the
postponements of the elections, the
strong trend for neutrality at all costs,
the utter loyalty of the army to the
King, and the army's weakness, even
if Greece should be forced into war.

Into Compromising Positions and

000 and Woman $35,000.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17. (Special.) Final
strands In the web of evidence en
meshing four men and three women.
lleged members of a powerful and
unscrupulous gang of blackmailers,
were woven today by combined Federal
and city authorities.
The swindling coterie was taken Into
custody Saturday night at an apart
ment hotel. After a midnight bearing
before United States Commissioner
Foote they were held in prohibitive
bonds for another hearing Tuesday.
Victims Rich and Prominent.
The powerful twinge of a guilty con
science was the lever worked by the
blackmailers to obtain tribute from
their victims, all of whom arc wealthy
and most of whom are prominently
known and connected. Several cities
contributed to tho list of victims.
Although the warrants for the arrest
of the gang members charge three
separate offenses against the laws ot
the United States, the principal charge
which will be laid against them will
be that of kidnaping a Government
witness.
The persons taken Into custody and
now held in the county Jail on Federal
warrants are: Edward Donahue, alias
"Dm" Donahue; Mrs. Helen Evers.
alias Mrs. George W. Brown; Henry
Russell, alias II. J. Russell; Mrs. Ed
ward Donahue, James Christian, alias
J. IL Grosse; George Bland and Mrs.
Frances Allen, alias Mrs. Frances Chap
man.
Money and Reputations) Saved.
According to Ilinton Q. Clabaugh,
head of the local bureau of Investiga
tion of the Department of Justice, the
three most Important captures are Mrs.
Evers, Donahue and RusselL
The arrest of the members of the
gang has, perhaps, saved tjhe money
and possibly the reputations of several
wealthy Chlcagoans.
Government agents who were detailed
on the case trailed Russefl through
Jackson Park, all day Saturday. He
left his apartment early In the fore
noon with a camera under his arm.
Within a short time he had met a
woman, whose name Mr. Clabaugh de
clined to divulge, but who Is said to
be prominently known In the North
Side colony. Together they sauntered
through the park unconscious of the
Federal agent In the discreet distance.
It was Russell's plan. Clabaugh, says,
to obtain the confidence of the woman,
place her In a compromising situation
and then blackmail her.
One Poses aa Mayor's Brother.
Another plot which was foiled was
In the development. One of the mem
bers of toe gang has been posing as a
brother of Mayor Thompson. Tho In
tended victim had been lured to an
apartment-house and lavishly enter
tained. The arrest nipped this plot
in the bud.
There ore approximately 16 known
victims of the swindling operations,
many of whom live In this city, al
though some make their homes in
New York. Philadelphia and Atlantic
City. Some, It Is said, were men prom
inent In political Ufa who were vlctlns
ized while at the Republican conven
tion here last June. The women of tne
gang, according to the authorities, are
young and beautiful. The men are
well groomed and of a type calculated
to impress society women.
Victims Pay nigh.
Most of the victims paid high for
their indiscretions. One man paid
$40,000 In cash. One woman paid $35.
000. Another paid 10,000. The small
est amount obtained was from Mrs.
Reglna A. Klipper, of Philadelphia,
who gave $500.
it is Mrs. Kllppers testimony that
is counted on by the Government to
send the gang to the Federal peniten
tiary. Mrs. Klipper was kidnaped
and spirited to Canada several weeks
ago by members of the band. Just be
fore she was to appear as a witness
against one of their number who had
previously been arrested In an Eastern
city.
The District Attorney's office in
Philadelphia notified Mrs. Klipper over
the telephone that she would be called
as a witness and that a deputy United
States Marshal would be sent to escort
her to the Federal building.
The wire to Mrs. Klipper's home had
been tapped and before the Marshal
arrived a man had called, represent
ing himself as a Marshal, and asked
her to accompany him to a train.
Mrs. Klipper awoke in Montreal,
where she was detained under the
representation that she was being held
there to prevent members of the gang
from reaching her.
A Government agent, discussing the
case, said:
