' 18 TIIE MOTtXING OliEGOXIAX, FRIDAY, 3IAT 16, 1919. GRID JURORS 1 CHARGES OF NEGLECT Death of Eugene Tuck at Jail Is Subject of Inquiry. DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTS Two Witnesses Called, One Prisoner's Attorney, Who leged Lack of Care. Beinj Al- comfortable. Dr. Ziegler telephoned at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and found that he .was resting comfortably. A few minutes past 4 o'clock he was transferred to the county Jail and the responsibility of the city health bureau ceased." Obituary. A grand jury inquiry into conditions surroundingthe death of Eugene Tuck, suspected murderer, who was brought to the county jail from the city jail Tuesday afternoon in a dying condition, according to his attorney, John A. Col lier, began yesterday afternoon after attention had been called to outstand ing circumstances by District Attorney Evans. All officials having anything to do with the administration of the city jail during Tuck's incarceration, as well as the operation of the emergency 'hospital in connection therewith, will be brought before the jury during the next few days to explain just what treatment was given the prisoner. Mr. Collier was the first witness to be called yesterday. The second was I'eputy Sheriff Koy Kendall, who was in charge of the county jail at the time rf Tuck's death. He had reported that Tuck was brought to the county jail a very sick man, though unaccompanied by any notice of his serious condition, official or otherwise. Tuck's Companion Freed. Mrs. Marie Middleton, arrested with Tuck for suspected complicity in the death of Mrs. Tuck from a bullet wound, May JO, was released from confinement yesterday. "I don't want her to die on my hands," declared Deputy District At torney Deich as he asked the municipal court for an order releasing Mrs. Mid dleton. The woman is in delicate health and has an apparent bad cold which might develop into something worse. Mr. Deich does not believe there Is a chance for successful prosecution of Mrs. Middleton for murder, owing to the death of Tuck. Evidence now at hand is not enough to convince the most simple-minded jury of her guilt, aid the deputy, and unless something turns up to throw a clearer light on the mysterious death, there will be no prosecution. District Attorney Active. "While I am not yet informed of all ' the facts in the matter, the affair cer tainly will bear investigation," said District Attorney Evans. "I presented it to the grand jury on the showing made thus far and left it to them to take such action as they see fit:" There is no action which the grand jury can take in the matter from the standpoint of criminal prosecution, but, if it finds gross neglect in the treat Tnent of the sick man, it way return a report for public consideration. "There is nothing personal in the charges 1 have made," said Mr. Collier as he left the grand jury room. "I am only interested in seeing conditions " bettered at the city jail, so that an other poor devil, arrested while ill, will not be slammed in there and left . to die, without a chance of securing medical attention. Of course, it makes a good substitute for capital punish ment in cases of men charged with murder, but I think hanging is a little " more humane." Friend Adds Testimony. "Tuck made repeated requests for medical attention at the city jail to which, apparently, no more attention w as paid than to my demands to police officers to make sure that a physician was called for him," declared S. P. Westover, superintendent of the boiler department of the Willamette Iron & Steel company, yesterday, a friend of the dead man. '1 took Tuck in my machine to the inquest Monday night," said Westover. "He told me he was so sick he could hardly get into the automobile. I could see he was a sick man, and asked Cap tain Jenkins and Detective Wright to promise to get a doctor for him right -after the inquest. "Tuck told me that he had asked several times at the jail to be per mitted to see a doctor, but that they would not send him one. Before that night was over I again asked the offi - oers to see that Tuck got medical at '" tention. and they promised they would." Westover said he would gladly go before the grand jury with the facts " in his possession. County Court Interested. Concurrent with the grand jury in vestigation of the treatment received by Tuck at the city jail, a probe by the county commissioners will be conducted into the delay of Dr. O. A. Hess, assist V ant county physician, in responding to ".a call to the county jail to attend the --sick man there. Twice Tuesday night, Andy Cameron, ."night jailor, telephoned Dr. Hess with out finding him in. Finally he got in touch with Dr. Hess at 10 o'clock. "We have a very sick man down here -at the jail. Wish you could look him over," is said to have been Cameron's report. "Well, I'll be over in the morning," is the alleged reply of the physician. " About 8:40 A- M. Wednesday, Deputy ."Sheriff Tichenor telephoned from the ,;county jail to Dr. Hess, who had not arrived. "The man's dying." reported Tichenor. "All right, I'll be right over," re sponded Dr. Hess. He arrived at ap proximately 9:20. Tuck had been dear lor some time. Parrlsh Denies Neglect. Denial of the charges made by At torney Collier that City Health Officer I'arrish and City Physician Ziegler were guilty of neglecting Tuck were "'made in a statement issued yesterday by Dr. Parrish. "IOugene Tuck was brought into the ---city jail on May 9," reads Dr. Parrish's statement, "and the same day was taken to the emergency hospital in a state of complete collapse. He was given a large dose of bromides, which seemed to aid him. At the same time he was also given a bottle of cough mixture with instructions as how to take it. Mrs. W. A. Eivers, nurse in the emergency nospitai. saw nim once or twice each day thereafter. "On Tuesday morning, the 13th, at 9:30 o'clock Dr. Ziegler and myself 1' called at the police station to examine -another prisoner. While there our at tention was called to the condition of Tuck. The history of his case was .. taken. The patient was ordered to be placed in bed. to be alone and not to be moved. A dose of calomel and salts was ordered.

SHORT FISH SUPPLY MAY JEVELDP SOON Halibut Fishermen Decide to Demand More Pay. r MANY BOATS NOW TIED UP BLACKMAIL HINT BARRED JUDGE REFUSES TO ADMIT EVI DENCE OFFERED IX SUIT. McRcynolds Alienation Hearing En livened by Startling Testimony and Love Notes. One of the most interesting bits of testimony to crop out in the $15,000 alienation suit being t.'ied this week before Circuit Judge Kavanaugh, in which F. V. McReynolds demands a settlement from Fred R. Rentner, candy shop proprietor, for attentions to Mrs. McReynolds, was ordered stricken from the records by the judge yesterday. It was the testimony of Mrs. Nora Williamson, cousin of Mrs." McRey nolds, to the effect that Mrs. McRey nolds had told her the trip to Vancou ver, Wash., during which Rentner was surprised by McReynolds in his wife's room at the Antlers hotel, had been planned by McReynolds with a mone tary object in view. More evidence to support the "frame- up contention of thj defense was sub mitted by Robert G. Henderson, post master at Chemawa, in the form of : letter written him in 1916. McReynolds denied the. authorship of the. note which was signed "F. V. McReynolds.' Of course you are aware you owe me a sum of $250, read the note. In speaking of your generosity, I refer to the instance in which you paid for the transportation of an innocent girl who is now my wife. I have an interesting collection of letters in your handwrit ing. I wonder if your wife would like to read them" On the stand in his own defense in the afternoon Renter said he had treat ed all the girls in his candy shop alike, that he did not love Mrs. McReynolds, and had no intention of marrying h--, as she was 20 and he 58. He denied that he had persuaded her to leav- her husband and go to a hotel in Vancou ver, sa; :ng that she had telephoned girl in the shop to" ask him to go and see her in Vancouver. He went to the girl s room, gave her come money and told he:- to go back to Portland, he said. He denied he was feeding her chocolates when the irate husband and friend burst into the room. iis attention was called to a sac charine note he had admitted writing Mrs. McReynolds, in which he termed her his "baby darling and asked her if she would not be willing "some day to De my sweet wile. Oh. I just merel;- wasn't working the day wrote that letter. didnt mean anything in particular by it," re plied the witness. At Prices "ow Paid for Halibut and Cod Operators Declare There Is No Profit In Business. NEWPORT, Or., May 15. (Special.) The Portland fish market may be seri ously affected in the near future by the laying up of ocean-going fishing craft. The halibut fishermen are so dissatis fied that they have decided to demand higher wages than are offered at present. The Newport Ice Sc. Fish company is paying 7 cents a pound for halibut and 3 cents for black cod. The com pany buys from independent fishermen and asserts that it is only offered 9 cents a pound for halibut and must furnish ice and boxes and pack the fish for shipment. Oscar Klinge, president of the com pany, says there , is less demand for fish than before the armistice was signed, when the government advocated eating fish in place of meat. He says it costs half a cent a pound to ship fish from Seattle to Portland and 2 cents from Newport. Last year fisher men were paid 13 cents for halibut and 6 cents for cod. ' Hslibnt Running; Well. The Burke Fish company of Port land, yesterday cut the price to its fishermen from 6 to 414 cents for hali but and 3 cents for cod. J. R. Burke, president of the Burke Fish company, is at Gold Beach, Or., and the masters of his vessels in Yaquina Bay at praes ent have been besieged with telegrams from the Portland office not to stop fisshing. Halibut have' been running well and are caught in deep water at present. usually 1500 to 1800 feet. This makes it hard for the fishermen to handle the lines, and since they often work 20 hours at a stretch, exposed to in clement weather, they have become indignant. Captain Olsen of the Gerald C. Inde pendent, will stop fishing and go to Portland, then to California. Captain Anderson of the Empire, Independent, says he will have to lay up. Captain Ingersoll of the Eliza Ann, Independ ent, declares he can hardly break even ith the new price and is undecided what he will do. Captain Smeland of the Decorah, a Burke boat, says he will go to Portland and tie up. Conerence Is Proposed. Captain Samuelson of the Nenamosha, a Burke boat, asserts that he will make another fishing trip and go into Portland instead of Newport and then confer with the other ishermen on the condition that the captains of the Spray and Decorah agree to do th same. Captain Hopkins of the Spray a Burke boat, says that he intends to keep on fishing as long ajs he can get a crew. The fishermen express the belief that the cold-storage men are trying to lay up a lot of fish at lower prices to be sold at a big profit next winter. They say that consumers' in the large cities and towns are charged enough, though fish has not advanced in price in proportion to other food, to entitle them to better wages. Never has there been so much discontent .or so many boats tied up at Newport with crews ready to quit. Beaverton Recalls Decorated Woman BEAVERTON, Or., May 15. (Spe cial.) Dr. Mary MacLaughlin. men tioned in dispatches earlier in the week as having been decorated in Paris for bravery and devotion to duty, was for merly a resident of Beaverton. and many people here recall her residence here. Her father was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church here and at Cedar Mills, and Miss MacLaughlin at tended school and was popular with the young people here. Read The Oregonian classified ads. LABOR VIOLATION CHARGED MEAT CUTTERS' UNION DECLARE FRYE COMPANY UNFAIR. - Management of Concern Attributes Dispute to Question ol Conduct- lng Open Sliop. Controversy has arisen between the Meat Cutters' union. No. 143, and the Frye Packing company, which operates a market at Third and Yamhill streets, regarding the open shop question, and the central labor council charges the firm with breaking the agreement en tered into by the union and. the Retail Meat Market Men's association. "The Frye' Packing company was a party to the agreement," declares a statement issued by the central labor council. "Quite recently the company not only broke their agreement as ap plied to their Cascade market, at Third and Yamhill, but opened a market at Fourth and Yamhill streets, with the evident purpose of establishing non union conditions -in the retail market business in Portland. The Portland public but needs to know the facts con cerning any difficulty between em ployer and employe to place the blame for disturbed conditions where it belongs." A. A. Hallander, manager of the Frye company, readily admits that it is the purpose of the company to maintain an open shop in the operation of its mar kets, and points out that there is no controversy over hours or wages. "The only controversy we have had," said .Mr. Hallander, "is on the question of the open shop. - We want the priv ilege of hiring non-union men if they come along, although we do not dis criminate against union men. More es pecially is this true of foremen. There is no argument as to hours or wages." ' f 1 Do TrtDIP V o o You Know the ale in History Is Now On?

Ancient Treaty Cited in Claim Restoration of Fishing-and Hunting Rights. v After two days in Portland in. con sultation with their attorney, ErsRine Wood, a party ot six Nez Perce Indians headed by their chief. Yellow Bull, left Wednesday for their reservation, 12 miles from Lewtston at Lapwai. Idaho. The Indians brought to l-ortlana witn them a treaty signed years ago during Indian wars, which pledged them fish ing and hunting rights now taken away by federal laws. It was in an effort to restore their original rights that they made the trip to Portland. Only one member of the group. Ed ward Paul, has an extensive command of the English language. The others, with one possible exception, neither talk nor understand English. Young Paul, the great grandson of the chief and the son-in-law of Pile of Clouds, adviser, who accompanied Chief Yellow Bull, spent six years at the Carlisle Indian school in Pennsylvania. Aside from long boots of the softest black leather that reached nearly to his knees, a silken kerchief about his neck and a bright scarf about his broad sombrero, the clothing of Chief Yellow Bull was not other than any white man wears. Jackson Sundown, an adviser, was dnessed similarly, although he wore yellow gauntlets of soft buck skin, heavily beaded. Pile of Clouds, however, wore over his cloth suit a huge "Indian" blanket of many colors and in his sombrero were three long feathers. Young Paul, the interpreter, aside from his swarthy complexion and high cheek bones, gave no evidence of his racial descent. - The trip to rortland was made to consult Mr. Wood, whom the Nez Perce .braves consider their . especial friend. Mr. Wood spent several weeks lixMng with them following an illness which sent him to Idaho wilds to recuperate. INDUSTRY BODY TO FORM Chamber Department to Organize at Special Sleeting Today.
