A!0 CHARM LEFT IN LIVING Toulil "ot Kndure Afronj or Exis tence Without Tender Regard or Woman Whom He Adored. Because he lovefl a girl who did not return his affection. John Koenig. aged 1. who lived with his mother. Mrs. Cath erine Teschner. at 354 Kugene street, took hi life yesterday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock by' swallowing carbolic acid. Before committing the deed he locked all the doors of the house so that his mother, who had rone out for a few minutes' visit at a neighbor's house, might not come !n and prevent his suicide. Hla dead body was found stretched out on hla bed, where he had disrobed and had luld down to die, c;ad only In hia underclothing. Beside the lifeless form lay a writing tablet, on which one of the leaves bore the scrib bled Inscription: "Well, good-bye to one and all. Your truly. John Koenig." The discovery was made by the mother, who returned to find all the doors locked against her. She had gone out just after dinner and John had told her at that time that he expected to go down town on an errand. So. 'when she had found the house locked she had thought that her son had gone out. but had forgotten that she was without a key and had locked her out. All unsuspectingly, she tried the windows until she found one open and climbed In through It to the scene of her son's death. Her screams were heard by the neigh bors, several of whom ran to see wtiat bad happened. Ir. W. B. Hamilton, of 64?t, Williams avenue, was summoned and he pronounced the young man dead. His mather recaJled that Just about din ner time the young m;in had gone down to a drugstore, but had given no intima tion of his rasn deed. The empty acid bottle lay beside him. where it had dropped from his lifeless finger. Deputy Coroner Dunning was notified and took charge of the remains. The funeral will take place from the home. Young Koenig did not leave any word for the girl whose disregard caused him to take his life. He had worried much ' during the pant few days and had been drinking heavily. The burden of his secret was taken with him. To his mother and some of his close friends he had told that he was very much In love with a girl of the name nf Bessie, but tht is all the Information he vouchsafed on the subject. A friend of his said last night that Koenig had told him a few days ago that he had asked the girl Resale to marry him and had been re fused, and the friend gave the-opinion that it was brooding over this refusal that caused Koenlg's determination to end It all. He Is survived by several brothers and sisters and by a number of relatives of hla stepfather. G. Teschner. now deceased. Koenig was a member of the Woodmen of the World.

Columbia fSoufliern: Alleged to Have Sold nights Far Beyond the Mentis to Supply. Iu the suit of the State of Oregon against the Columbia Southern Irriga ting Company for the reclamation of an extensive tract in Eastern Oregon, the state yesterday offered testimony to show that while the project proposed the development of about 27,000 acres, there was only sufficient water for Ir rigating about 1500 acres. It will be on this showing that the state expects to be authorized to rescind the con tract that was originally entered into with the Three Sisters' Irrigation Com pany, which subsequently transferred its interests to the Columbia Southern Irrigating Company The case has been pending In the courts for some time but with the tak ing of testimony which has begun, an early decision' as to the rights of the state will be determined. Some of the witnesses at the hearing yesterday tes tified that the stockholders in the Irri gating company did not Invest a. dollar In the enterprise which, it was asserted, was exploited entirely with the funds collected from the settlers to whom water rights were eold. When It de veloped that sufficient water was not available for supplying the larger num ber of purchasers, complaints were filed with the state ' of tlcials and then the suit was brought to cancel the contract. Some testimony was pre sented by the state yesterday to show that the stockholders of the irrigating company had collected in the aggregate about $140,000 and had taken the notes of settlers for about $75,000" The proceedings yesterday were held In the Corbett building and were at tended by Governor Chamberlain, Attorney-General A. M. Crawford. State Engineer John H. Lewis, several of the disappointed settlers and representa tives of the Columbia Southern Irriga ting Company. Advocates of a proposed water code, which will be asked at the hands of the Legislature this Winter, will hold up to the state's lawmakers the case of the Columbia Southern Irrigating Company as an example of the urgent need for some means of determning the water rights of the state, including their equitable distribution. Such a law is being drafted under the direc tion of a committee representing the Oregon Conservation Commission and which has called to its assistance sev eral prominent authorities connected with the Government irrigation serv ice. FINDS PURSE WITH MONEY Worklnginan Asks Oregoniau to Lo cate Owner of Valuables. "If anybody comes in and describes this purse and contents, let him have it," said NVls Jensen, of 25 North Sixth street, at the counter of the business office of The Oregonlan last night. At the same time ho placed a purse on the counter. In 'his presence the purse was examined, and among other things found was 15 in gold coin, some silver pieces and postage stamps. The honest worklngman seemed to take It as a matter of course that he ehould make an effort to restore the purse to Its rightful owner, for when he picked it up in front of the office his first impulse was carried out to leave it where the owner would be most likely to come In seerch of the missing pockethook, and where It would be kept safely. The purse evidently belong to a woman or girl. PLAN FAST TARIFF WORK Congressional Leaders Think Kevl " sion Can Be Completed Early. WASHINGTON, Dec 26.

If this course is followed. It is believed the special tariff revision can be concluded inside of four days. TRYING TO SAVE DERELICTS Veteran Minstrel Becomes Evan gelist to Chicago Drunkards.
