YOUTH SEEKS DEATH
Lovelorn John Koenig Takes
His Own Life.
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.

hot weather sets in. Several members
of Congress who have discussed the

views In regard to an early and short
session coincide with the plan sug
gested. It is expected that the House ways
and means committee will have a bill
-to- repot to the. special session on the
WORK PROGRESSING ON EAST SIDE FLAT

can be ready to report if it works as
siduously, as soon as the bill has been
passed by the House. If this course
is followed. It is believed the special
tariff revision can be concluded inside
of four days.
