.... - -EHE. SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, ATOUST 10, 1902.' FOULCRIMETO LIGHT Body of Chicago Woman Found in Her Cellar., BURIED 3EHEATH CEMENT FLOOR Son Is Snspected of the Crime, as Well at Killing Young Lady Who Warn Lnttt Seen. Alive With. Him. CHICAGO. Aug. 9. With a Jagged wound In the left temple and physical evidence that she had been strangled or smothered, the almost nude body of Mrs. Annie Bartholin was found this evening burled beneath the cellar floor of the house In which she had lived, at 4310 Cal umet avenue. Coincident with the find ing of the body, the police redoubled their efforts to find the missing son, William Bartholin, who Is also suspected of the murder of Miss Minnie Mitchell, whose body was found in a vacant lot at Seventy-fourth and State stree'ts last Thurs day evening. The police have evidence that Bartholin slept In th ehouse on Calu met avenue last Tuesday night, three weeks after his mother had been mur dered, and six days after he Is supposed' to have killed Minnie Mitchell. The body of Mrs. Bartholin was found by a party of newspaper men after the police had searched the house and had concluded that If the woman had been murdered her body was concealed some where away from the residence. All the rooms of the bouse had been ransacked, partitions torn down, walls sounded and the basement and premises searched. Earlier In the day persons who were searching In the basement found a place where the cement floor seemed to have been disturbed. Digging there, they found at first what was supposed to be tho fragments of a human body. Later, they became satisfied that a dog had been burled there. A crowbar, apparently stained with blood, and a hatchet which bore dark marks were found in the base ment, and tho searchers were unwilling to abandon their task, even after it seemed that there was nothing further: for them to do. Finally, tonight, some one' found a small -crevice In the cement floor. Indicating that tlje cement had been dis turbed and then skillfully patched. In a moment the men were attacking the floor with picks and spades, while a large crowd of neighbors and other curious ones watched the work from tho stairway or through the basement windows. The ce ment was quickly broken away and tho diggers came upon a bed of white sand. Digging through, they came upon a dress skirt. This was dragged out, and other articles of woman's wear were found. When these had been removed the body of tho woman was found. It was w rapped In a blanket and practically was without ciothing, there being only a stocking on the left foot and a corset cover around the chest. From the appearance of the body It was believed that Mrs. Bartholin was struck down either while disrobing for the night or when dressing in the morning. On the woman's left temple was a deep and ragged gasb two inches long, but Dr. E. P. Noel, a physician who was summoned, said that in his opinion it could not have caused death. "The wound is superficial, but may have served to render the vic tim unconscious," Dr. Noel said. "After the blow had been struck the woman was either choked or smothered." The body was removed to an undertaking establish ment, where the Coroner's Inquest will be held Monday. The police have abandoned the theory that Bartholin Is dead, and Police In spector Hunt, In whose district Is the home of Mrs. Bartholin, declared tonight that he was confident the man is alive and has not left Chicago. The clerk, of a real estate agent, one of whose clients holds a mortgage on the property of Mrs. Bartholin, met William Bartholin In front of the house on the morning of July 31 or August 1, he does not remember which.' This fact causes tho police to believe that they will capture him soon, as ho has had less than one week's start of them. There is no apparent motive for the killing of Mrs. Bartholin or of Minnie Mitchell, but the police are following ev ery possible theory. The one that finds most favor at present is that the young man, being in debt, killed his mother In order that her equity on the mortgaged property might revert to him. While this theory will not cover the murder of the Mitchell girl in any way, the police be lieve that Bartholin had the Idea that she either suspected him of killing his mother or that she had taken him to task for telling conflicting stories regarding her disappearance. Bartholin and his mother were not on good terms, although they lived In the same house. Beyond a desire to Inherit her property, however, there is at present no known motive for the mur der. Dr. Springer, the Coroner's Physician, conducted an autopsy on the body of Mrs. Bartholin tonight and announced that her death had been caused by strangulation, the assassin having made sure of his vic tim by first breaking her skull with blunt instrument, a fracture having been found beneath the wound on the temple. 1 STABBED IX HIS OFFICE. Chicago Man Receives Fatal Wound Frota a Paper Knife. CHICAGO. Aug. S. Walter A. Scott, president of the Illinois Wire Company, was stabbed to death in his private of fice in the Monadnock building today by Walter L. Stebblngs, a civil and consult ing engineer, with offices in the 'same building. Mr. Stebblngs had done' some work for the Illinois Wire Company, over which there had been a dispute. The two men had a quarrel and Stebblngs, It Is said, cajled Scott a liar. There was a scuffle and the two burst from the 'pri vate office, blood flowing from Scot fa wounds. He had been stabbed twice. Stebblngs made no attempt to escape. Stebblngs, when arrested, said he had struck Scott In self-defense, and- that he had not Intended injuring him seriously. The fight was witnessed by Miss Myrtle Shumate, a stenographer in Scott's office, who ran screaming into the hall. Occu pants of the other offices notified the police, who placed Stebblngs under arresU According to Miss Shumate's story., the two men were in Scott's private office for nearly an hour disputing over a claim for $3000. Suddenly the door was thrown open, and the men staggered Into the outer office, kicking each other and using their fists. Stebblngs held a long steel paper-knife In his right hand, and the weapon could be seen flashing as the men struggled. Suddenly Stebblngs struck Scott In the body. The blow was re peated a moment later. Scott staggered j oncitwaro., ana leu to the floor. He died within half an hour. Mr. Scott was 43 years of age. He leaves a widow and one son, who are visiting in the East. Mr. Scott recently was president and owner of tho Marsh field & Southeastern Railroad, and owner of the Scott Lumber Company and con trolled a large amount of real estate. He was reputed to be a millionaire. When told later that Scott was dead. Stebblngs turned pale. Had not a police man caught him, he would have fallen from the chair. "DeadJ" he exclaimed; "I cannot real ize it. I did not mean to kill him. I was opening a letter with the paper "knlfe. He struck me. I hardly know -whafc happened after that. I did not even know that I had stabbed him. 1 thought I had only knocked him. down." SIURDIiROUS WAITER. Shoots Tito Officers of Ship and Then Kills Himself. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 9.

Gold flows over the counters constantly In ordinary traffic People are Inclined to give the Repub licans credit for the prosperity, and to let well enough alone." After speaking of Minnesota, the Da kota?, Montana and California, where he found good prospects of Republican gains, he said of Washington: "Washington, a Republican state, the home of James Hamilton Lewis,. the re doubtable Populist, has repudiated Pop ulism and Democracy. Washington gets an additional representative In Congress, . and will send a man to sit on our side, of the House." Of the President he says: "President , Roosevelt is popular throughout the West, but California is more enthusiastic for him than any other state, notwithstanding- the fact that he urged a 'policy of reciprocity with Cuba, which the Callfornlans feared would hurt tholr sugar beets. But that did, not dim his popularity a bit." WILL STAY AT VANCOUVER. General Corbin .Says Department Headquarters Will Not Bo Moved. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 9. General Corbin said to day that there was not the least pos sibility of, removing the headquarters of the Department of the Columbia from Vancouver. "All the buildings necessary for the transaction of "business are there," he said, "and It would be expensive to make the move, besides being unneces sary. With telephone and telegraph con nections, good mall facilities, and being pear a big city like Portland, all the bus iness of the Department can be as speed ily and conveniently transacted at Van couver as at any place In. the Depart ment.''' It appears, that the. matter has never got so far as a recommendation from General Miles, though some officer of the Inspector-General's Department, If not General Breckenridgo himself, has made the suggestion of removal, giving as a reason the friction that sometimes arises between the headquarters and post pffic ers. The statement by the Adjutant General, however, effecutally disposes of the matter for some time to come. PORTLAND IS PREPARED. If Any Headquarters Are Moved, Let Them Come Here. The commercial bodies of Portland are fully alive to the thraatened removal of the Army headquarters from Vancouver. Seattle will not have any opportunity to steal a march In the matter. The Cham. her of Commerce has had its weather eye4 peeled ever since the rumors started. The Board of Trade also has the danger well surveyed. "The neadauarters will not go to Se attle," said President Beach, of the Board 'of Trade, yesterday. "The question has had a permanent place in our counsels for some time." The Army officers at Vancouver are not saying anything for publication,' but It Is understood that they desire very much to move to a large city. Portland Is said to be their preference. It was intimated yesterday to a reporter that they would pull for this city as much as their sltua tlo nwould permit. The advisability bf Portland's exerting Itself to get the headquarters has been seriously discussed by leading business men here. Some of them are not in favor cf working for the change, arguing that well enough should be left alone. Others believe that Portland must wjeld Its In fluence in order to offset that of Seattle. Still others argue that Portland has ad vantages for the headquarters, which it should not be afraid to put forward. This city has the best trading and jobbing fa cilities in the Northwest, they say. and if It cannot make them prevail against those of beattle. It should put up the blinds rind go out of business.

Points Get Reduction of Grain Rates. Some doubt having been expressed In commercial circles as to whether the re duced grain rates would be applied to noncompetitive Oregon points east of the Cascades (Governor McBrlde's sway not reaching across the state line). General Freight Agent "Miller, of the O. R. & N., yosterday said there would be no dis crimination against Oregon producers. The Grand Ronde Valley and other points on the line of the O. B. & N. In Eastern Oregon will get the same ratio of reduc tion that Is accorded to Pendleton or Walla. Walla or other towns where there are competitive lines. Tho same propor tional reduction will be made from Hepp ner and stations on the Columbia River above The Dalles. All these reductions will go into bffect at the same time the new ratos shall be quoted for Eastern Washington points. And the reductions will apply to Eastern terminals as well as to the Western sea board. O; R. & N. territory In Oregon wllh be treated Just as liberally as the highly competitive territory in Eastern Washington. .
