Wlille Running Away From a. Covr
She Falls Under the Car
Wheels.
At 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mane, the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. K. McPherson, who live at 271
Russell street, Upper Alblna, fell under
neath the rear trucks of an electric freight
car of the Portland Railway Company and
received injuries from which she died with
in about 15 minutes after she had been re
moved to her home. It was a most shock
ing accident. From thw account given of
the affair It would seem that no blame at
taches to any one.
With some other children who were
driving a cow the little girl had gone
east of Union avenue Just north of Rus
sell street. She was In the street as a
car was coming along northward In charge
of Motorman Circle. She took fright at
the cow and ran directly at the passing
car, apparently not noticing it. She
struck the car about the middle with such
force that her body was thrown directly
in front of the rear trucks.
Both wheels passed over her right thigh,
crushing it close to the hip. Her right
hand and left foot were also caught and
crushed.
A bystander, seeing the child roll to one
side as the car passed, ran and picked her
up. Dr. C. E. Hawkes was summoned,
and he had the child removed to her home
at 271 Russell street, where she died in
a few minutes. Her father and mother
were present at the death of their little
daughter.
Dr. Hawkes said her Injuries were of
such a nature that it was a wonder that
she survived long enough to get to her
home. After the accident she never
spoke. The body was removed to the
"West Side morgue, arid an inquest will be
held as soon as the witnesses can be sum.
moned. ,
Mr. and Mrs. McPherson are newcomers,
having lived In Albina about five months.
Both were prostrated by the shock of the
terrible accident.
PLANS FOR ALBINA BUILDING.
BuHdlnpr Association Has Received
Theni From Architect.
The board of directors of the MIssls-sippl-Avenue
Building Association, of
Central Alblna, has received the plans
for the proposed public building to be
erected on the corner of Mississippi ave
nue and Shaver street, from Architect
Chappell Browne. "While the directors are
pleased with the. plans for the building,
the cost is regarded as a little too much,
but may be adjusted, as the board will
meet Mr. Browne and see if some changes
can be made.
The plans call for a $3500 building, while
the directors desire to expend only $3000.
As Indicated on these plans, there are
three business rooms on the first floor.
Two storerooms, 23x48 and 24x40, respec
tively, will face Mississippi avenue, and
one small room, 14x23, will face Shaver
street from the rear. There Is also a
lavatory on the first floor. On the second
floor Is the main public hall, which Is 28x48,
"with a banquet-room 13x19 opening Into
.the main hall. The kitchen Is Sx8, and
another room for cloaks, 8x12, adjoins.
In the front on the second floor are
tnree oraces. 11x14, 14x12 and 10x14, re
spectively. The stairs extend up on the
north side of the hall. The general ar
rangements are highly satisfactory, and
the directors are pleased. It Is expected
that the question of cost will be adjust
ed and work started on the foundation In
a few days.
SPECIAL MEETING CALLED.
Camp McMillen to Adopt Design for
Markers for Veterans' Graves.
Mrs. Laura Mutch, president of Camp
McMillen, Sons and Daughters of Indian
"War Veterans, has called a meeting of
the members of the camp at her house, 14
Union avenue, corner East Burnslde street,
next. "Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The meeting Is called for the purpose of
making a selection of a design of a marker
for the graves of Indian war veterans in
this state. Two designs have been pre
pared, one by Captain J. H. McMillen and
one by Hosea "Wood.
It Is desired to select a design as soon
as possible, so that the markers can be
prepared In time for Memorial day. May
31. There is so little time left in which
to select the design and have the markers
made that this special meeting has been
called. It is considered probable that a
(Maltese cross will be selected for the
top portion of the proposed markers, and
that the remainder will correspond with
those of the G. A. R,

TAKES HER OWN LIFE.
Mrs. Palmer, of Falrvlew, Shoots
Herself IVIth Rifle.
"While suffering from melancholia fol
lowing an attack of 111 health, Mrs. Nellie
Dollle Palmer, 23 years old, wife of a la
borer at Falrvlew, committed suicide yes
terday morning at her home by shooting
herself in the mouth with a small rifle.
She was alone when the deed was com
mitted, and sat in a chair, placed tho
muzzle in her mouth, and pressed one
of her feet against the trigger. A few
minutes afterward her little boy, Alfred
Palmer, 6 years old, came into the kitchen,
saw his mother, and told a neighbor that
his mother was sick. Mrs. Palmer had
apparently died Instantly.
The Coroner and his deputy, Isaac Fo
gel, drr-ve to Falrvlew to hold an Inquest,
and from the evidence It appeared that
Mrs. Palmer and her husband had lived
happily together. She was troubled a
good deal by 111 health at Intervals, and
during her Illness she had frequently
threatened to take her life. She had even
asked her husband that she might be
sent where she might be watched, so
that she could not do harm to herself.
Palmer, however", thought that his wife
was on the road to complete recovery,
and did not ask for assistance. He re
mained at home from work as often as
possible and nursed her. Yesterday morn
ing after breakfast she went to the gate
with him to wish him good-bye as he
started to go to work. Then the tragedy
occurred. Mrs. Palmer leaves four little
children, the youngest of whom Is only
2 months old. A vprdlet wn rpndprofl fn

PILOT SAYS MASTERS LIE
The 17-Foot Story About Columbia
Bar Is Fiction.
The intimation that Columbia bar pilots
had been giving- out untruthful reports
calculated to Injure the marine commerco
of the Columbia River is resented with
some warmth by one of the bar pilots,
A. "E. Cann, In a letter to President
Mears, of the Portland Chamber of Com

day's meeting of the trustees of the
RECORDER'S BIG INCOME
BUSINESS IN HIS OFFICE SHOWS
GREAT INCREASE.
Since March, 1OO0, Receipts Have Al
most Doubled Bids Opened
for Macadam Road.
County Recorder Beach has prepared a
statement showing how receipts have in
creased in the Recorder's office In the
last three years, as follows: March, 1900,
$703 30; March, 1901, $344 85; March, 1902,
$1352. Other months show a correspond
ing Increase of business. On March 31,
1902, the receipts amounted to $111 45. and
on March 31, 1901, the receipts were $25 75.
Testerday Mr. Beach appeared before
the Board of County Commissioners and
asked for permission to employ another
copyist. He explained how the business
DEATH OF
J. J. SHAUGHNESSY
Weil-Known Traveling
Man
J. J. Shaughnessy, a well
known and popular traveling
man, died In San Francisco yes
terday, aged 45 years. Mr.
bhaughnessy had been ill with
pneumonia for a few days, but
his condition was not considered
alarming until Friday, and the
announcement of his death yes
terday was a shock to the many
Portlanders who knew him.
Mr. Shaughnessy was con
nected with the Crown Distil
leries Company, of San Fran
cisco, and had made frequent
trips to the Northwest during
recent years. "Jack" Shaugh
nessy, as he was popularly
known, was a good business
man, and highly esteemed by a
wide circle of friends.
"Chamber of Commerce, statements of
shipmasters were presented to the effect
that certain of the bar pilots had repre
sented to them that there was only 17
feet of water on the bar, when as a mat
ter of fact there was a depth of at least
21 feet. This led to the conclusion that
the bar pilots were deliberately trying to
Injure the commerce of the river. By
way of response comes Pilot Cann's let
ter to President Mears, as follows:
"I notice in the paper that you have
had a meeting of the trustees and that
you devoted part of the time to state
ments that were fully answered by the
agent of the pilots to Mr. Wheelwright. I
will answer them again. The two cap
tains lied, for the pilots never mentioned
17 feet of water. They stated the
bar was smooth. Bar report for March
15, the date of their arrival, at 8 A. M.,
very rough; 12 noon, rough, high water;
5:30 P. M G feet 3 Inches tide. They
crossed over 3 P. M., drawing 17 feet; bar
breaking. The two O. R. & N. tugs could
not cross out until between 12 and 1 P.
M., on account of roughness of the bar.
In regard to Pilot Emken's statement, the

having a big mouth and talking about I
matters that he knows nothing about,
especially the Columbia River bar. I
"We are surprised that the chamber
should allow such matter published, for It i
is you, not us, who are giving the river a
bad name by not trying to do something
to Improve It, and paying attention to
such foolish reports that come from the
outside, and not from us. It Is impossible
to hide conditions 'lit the mouth of the
river, for every ship that strikes, her mas
ter informs his owners, and when they
arrive home the underwriters have to
dock and repair them, which will have a
tendency to raise Insurance on shipping
to this port.
"That remark that the pilots were try
ing to exaggerate the conditions at the
bar is foolish. For we try to cover mat
ters as much as possible to keep Puget
Sound papers from making any remarks,
and It Is a matter of livelihood to us to
give the river a good name and to attract
shipping by giving a good service, as we
have been doing In the past. Hoping you
may be able to get a dredger for the bar,
I remain," etc.

help.
The Commissioners asked If the office
Is self-sustaining, and the Recorder re
ferred to Auditor Pope, who gave figures
showing that during the last three months
the receipts of the office In excess of ex
penditures were $603. The matter of al
lowing another copyist was taken under
advisement, and the request Will doubt
less be granted.
DEMOCRATS OPEN OFFICE.
State Central Committee Establishes
Portland Headquarters.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee has established headquarters at room
620, Chamber of Commerce building, and
Chairman White and Secretary Montague
are kept busy receiving callers and at
tending to correspondence. Three rooms
have so far been engaged by the commit
tee, and each has been crowded by Demo
crats from the city and state at large. Tho
talk of all the visitors has run invariably
Into a discussion of the Improbability of
any Democrat appearing against George
E. Chamberlain in the race for the Gu
bernatorial nomination. In the minds of
the visitors Chamberlain will be nomi
nated by acclamation.
Only a few Democrats have so far been
named for the other state v offices, but
many may be expected when Indications
of party success begin to improve. For
Attorney-General ex-State Senator James
H. Raley, of Pendleton, has been men
tioned. Raley ran for Congress against
"W. R. Ellis in 1894, and was defeated.
George Noland, of Astoria, Is also men
tioned. Roland was a disappointed can.
dldate on the Cleveland electoral ticket in
1892.
Sheriff Frank Durbln, of Marion Coun
ty, is mentioned In connection with the
nomination for State Treasurer. Durbln
has been twice elected Sheriff of Marlon
County, and as he Is a vote-get'ter Demo
crats think he would greatly strengthen
their ticket
Thomas H. Crawford, of Union, Is
spoken of as a candidate for the nom
ination for the Supreme Judgeship..
Two candidates for the Congressional
nominations are mentioned. They are J.
K. Weatherford, of Albany, in the First
District, and ex-State Senator Morrow, of
Heppner, in the Second. Weatherford ran
for the same office in 1S96, and was de
feated. His friends think he will have a
better chance of election this year, and
they are urging him to accept the nom
ination if it be tendered him. Morrow's
friends are of the opinion that he will
add strength to the Democratic ticket.

Improvident;-ulso $19S paid to Dr. McKay,
$150 to attorneys and $200 retained by the
guardian as fees.
She alleges that Gibbons had no power
to run her estate in debt $1422, and that
he Incurred expenses without the con
sent of the court, which he had no power
to do, and she further charges that he
failed to pay interest on a mortgage In
order that he might obtain control of
the property. Mrs. Ferris further states
that Gibbons only allowed the estate $20
a month for a furnished house reasonably
worth $35 per month.

The past week was Weber week at
Eilers Piano House, and more of these
artistic and costly pianos found homes last
week than ever before during the history
of this busy store. Two full carloads of
Webers, specially selected at the New
lork factories, were placed on exhibition
and sale last Monday, and It Is safe to
say that never In the history of the piano
business were more choice and high
priced grand and upright pianos displayed
and sold In any retail establishment than
here, and even now, although a third of
them found homes last week, we present
a most beautiful array. We have almost
a complete assortment of Weber pianos
In stock. Including the famous art styles,
the "Baby Puritan," the "Renaissance,5
the "Louis XIV" (1). ama the "Colonial"

Some Stnrtling Piano Prices.
During the coming week we wish to sell
something like three carloads of the very
best medium-grade pianos' ever shown In
Portland. They were regularly sold by
another retail house for $275 and $200 here
tofore. Thes.e Instruments are greatly Im
proved, and better mace thart Yhev were

doubt very much as to whether a San
Francisco branch store or a concern get
ting Its pianos from San Francisco Jobbing-houses
or on consignment from
money brokers, could afford to sell them
for less than $325 even now and make a
living profit. But we are going to sell
these instruments during the coming
week for $1S5 each, and the plainer styles
for $173. and. to make it an object for
you to take one of them quickly, we will
sell you one on payment of $10 down and
$5 a month. Remember the prices, $173
and $1S5, one and the same to all alike, no
more will be asked, no less will be ac
cepted; 3 per cent off for all cash, or $10
down and $5 a month, with Interest on de
ferred payments at 8 per cent per annum.
We are sure you will not find a single
one of these pianos on hand by the end
of the week. Better come in Monday
and pick out the one you like best.
These pianos are fully warranted, and
while vc are willing to take $186 and $172
for them, rest assured they are in every
way as good and as valuable as the In
struments were heretofore when sold for
$300.
It Is not that we are selling cheaper
pianos but we're selling pianos cheaper.
We have told you how In conducting
four leading stores in four leading cities
under one management we save money in
buying large quantities of pianos; how
we save money In shipping them without
boxes, how our store rents are less per
piano sold than any other dealer's, how.
In fact, our selling expense Is less by
many dollars than other dealers or agents,
large or small.
That's how we can sell these pianos
at these low figures now, and still say.
that we are standing back of every repre
sentation that our salesmen make regard
ing them. "-Money back If not satisfied"
applies to these pianos, as well as to the
highest-priced ChSckcrlng, and Wober. and

$10 for a first payment down, and pay the
rest as suits you best. Remember, the
