CORONER'S JURY- DIVIDED Slan Disappeared From Lodging House Alght of April 18, Leav ing Trail of Blood Behind. Body Found In a Ditch. CENTRALIA. Wish.. May 4. (Spe cial.) W., the jury, summoned by C. Harden, County-Coroner, to make Inquiry in . the cause, manner and time of death of Carl stock, after being duly sworn. And after viewing the place where the remains were found and bearing the testimony that the deceased came to his death by hands unknown to tile Jury. (Signed) C. A. BISBT. ' ' - J. C. MOSSMAN. THEO TV. INGAL.LS, WM. BRYAN. We. the undersigned, cannot agree with the above verdict. (Signed E. P. SUDD THEO HOBS. QENTRAUA. Wash., May -(Special.) The body of Carl Stock, the Seat tle baker who has been missing from his bloodstained and disorderly room in the Delmont Block, this city, since 11 o'clock of the night of April 18, was found in the ; Hos mill ditch, about half a mile west of the south end of the city, with six deep gashes in his neck, evidently in flicted 'with a razor. Contrary to expectations, the finding of the body does not by any means satis factorily clear up the mysterious disap pearance of the dead man. The Coroner"s Jury was unable to agree upon a unanimous verdict after hearing the testimony of six witnesses. Four.mem bers of the jury are inclined to the mur- der theory, and two believe Stock is a "suicide. Stock's body was found shortly before noon today by George Robinson. On the body when found was a rock about four inches in diameter, giving rise to the theory In some quarters that the body had been deposited in the ditch. The body was in an excellent state of pres ervation. Six Gashes In the Xeck. Coroner Harden was immediately sum moned, and at 2 o'clock swore in a jury composed of Theodore Hosa, E. Fuller Nudd. Wililam Bryan. C. O. Ingalls. C. A. Bisby. An examination showed six wounds. On the right side of the neck were three deep cuts In the larynx, each incision being completely .through. The wounds on the left side of the neck were superficial. 1 Small change was .found in the coat pockets, and in the vest was a gold watch which. stopped at 11:30 o'clock. Bruises were noted ori the body, believed to have been inflicted after death. Hundreds of etirious people viewed the body at the undertaking parlors. A etate of tense excitement pervades the city. Opinion is divided as to murder or sui cide, but the latter theory is more gen erally accepted. Coroner Hardin gave out the following sfatement: "From the condition of the wounds it is possible for a man or person to walk a short distance, but it looks impossible for a person with the wounds which the de ceased has to leave a room and go out of a house without leaving some evidence of the manner of his exit. No such evi dence being found. If looks possible that astetance may have been given, by an other person or persons." Perhaps Bruised Ty Boats. Coroner Hardin states that from the nature of the bruises found on Stock's body he regards it probable that after the body was put in the water it had been weighted down with rocks or some heavy substance. Hoss ditch, where the body was found, lias an average depth of three feet. . For several days past, small scows have been traversing it, loaded with dirt and gravel. The body may have been struck, by one of these boats. Chief of Police Clark account for the small rock found on the floating body by the fact that small boys playing near the ditch yesterday saw something floating In the water which they believed to be a small piece of timber with ' a piece of cloth lodged over it, and amused them selves by throwing stones at it. LEFT M TO SHIFT ALONE SEATTLE HOSPITAL MANAGER DESERTS HER CHARGES. Sold Sick Man's Body Before He Died to Doctors Creditors Take Possession. SEATTLE, Wash., May 4. (Special.) Mrs. Isabel Grant, president and man ager of the Metropolitan Hospital, Is missing and today creditors of that in stitution took charge. Coincident -with this action. Attorney A. J. Speckart, representing C. Schultx, a J5000 creditor, has drawn up sensational charges against the management which he has mailed to County Attorney Mackintosh and Mayor Moore. Mr. Speckart claims when Mrs. Grant disappeared- six patients were left in the hospital without attendance, and that the following day one man died of neglect. He says 11 deaths have occurred at the hospital for which no record has been given the health authorities, and that the body of one spinal meningitis patient was sold to local doctors six hours before he died. He charges that neither food nor water was available to patients for 24 hours this .week, and money of the inmates has been misappropriated. Only his in tervention with nurses, he says, kept them at work after Mrs. Grant disap peared, and their wagea are unpaid. .Mrs. Grant, who conducted the hospital. Is said not to be a physician and to have performed many illegal operations. Must Serve Terms In Pen. CHEHALIS, Wash.. May 4. (Special.) Judge Rice sentenced William Dacy. alias Harry Murphy, to four years in the penitentiary, and Edmund Crowley to two years. Both pleaded guilty to rob bing Mr. Velsor. of Francis, in a Cen tralla saloon. John Prater and Lee Ken nedy, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, pleaded guilty to assault and battery and were fined 20 each, . KIND TAMQRMON Born in Church, but Long Ago Renounced Its Doctrines. MAN OF HIGH ATTAINMENT Strongly Recommended by Judge Goodwin, of Salt Lake, and Pas tors of the Leading Churches In Salt Lake City. CORVALLIS. Or.. May. 4, (Special.) The election of Dr. Kerr to the presi dency of the State Agricultural College was by unanimous vote, with 11 of the 13 members in attendance. It was pre ceded by an exhaustive study" of his credentials, in conjunction with those of numerous other applicants, by a special committee consisting of Mrs. Waldo, lecturer of the State Grange, President Weatherford and Secretary Wilson. From the fact that Dr. Kerr came from Utah, the question of whether or not he might be a Mormon was sug gested, and on question testimony proving the contrary was secured. That he had been born in the Cburch of the Latter Day Saints was acknowledged by Dr. Kerr himself, but the fact that the most unreserved and unqualified indorsements of him as a man, a citizen and a college executive came from such men as Judge Good win, of the Salt Lake Tribune, which led for years in the fight against Mor monism; from Dr. Talbot, of the Metho dist mission at Salt Lake; from Dr. Goshen, pastor of the First Congrega tional Church of Utah, resulted in the dismissal by the board of the fact of his birth and early .education as not affecting his candidacy. One testimonial from Utah was by Mr. McCornick, for 17 years president of the board of regents of the Utah State Agricultural College, of which Dr. Kerr was seven years the executive officer. Mr. McCornick is a Catholic, and his characterization of Dr. Kerr declares the latter to be a Christian gentleman, a citizen and a man "than whom there is no better in Utah." He also specified that 17 years of service as president have given him opportunity for comparison, and that he unhesitatingly declares Dr. Kerr to be the best president the Utah college has had in that period. Though the testimonial of Dr. Tal bot, a Methodist, was most excellent, the indorsement by Judge Goodwin was the most pronounced of alL It declared that he had first met Dr. Kerr when the two served together In the consti tutional convention, of Utah, and that he had learned to know perfectly the exalted character and pure motives, as well as the extraordinary ability of the man who is now elected to be presi dent of the Oregon State Agricultural College.

The profits from both rentals and sales are distributed on the first of June and December of each year to the investors. This plan embraces the best features of a number of Eastern and Coast companies of. a similar charr acter, which have paid to their investors dividends ranging from 10 per cent to 30 per cent per annum. This method of co-operative investment in this gilt-edged security enables all to participate in the general prosperity which is coming to Portland- and the great State Of Oregon.-; REMEMBER That business real estate values are from 25 per cent to 40 per cent lower in Portland than in either Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles.

The development of Oregon's rich and inexhaustible resources insures a continued increase in' the population of Portland, the great commercial metropolis of the Northwest.' It is a well-known fact that ground values in a business district always increase in value in about the same proportion as the increase in population.

A pool is now being formed, limited to $500,000. Any amount, from $100 to $10,000, may be con tributed.
