VAIN LOVE BRINGS DEATH HOUSE DYX.VMITED, M L'lt 1EFI AM SUICIDE FOLLOW. committees on athletics met Friday night in a dinner at the Commercial Club for the purpose or engaging in a general dis cussion on all matters of athletic inter est to the members and to devise means whereby the different activities of the club might be brought before the public. A proposition brought up was that the chairmen of the diffirent committees should keep the main office of the club informed as to what is going on, so as to facilitate distribution of news to the prf 9?. It was the opinion of A. B. "McAlpin and some others that each chairman should see to it personally that the af fairs of his own department be brought before the public and that the secretary's office should not be depended on to give out the news of all the different depart ments. Another method suggested was that a press agent be hired to write for all the departments. The question was i nnt deflrt i r.W- riei'ifled I W. R. Wilbur urged the necessity of new courts, in order that the increasing number of tennis enthusiasts might have opportunity to indulge in the sport. The proposition of building a new squash court was also presented. EMBEZZLER WOULD WED BUT PAPA SAYS NO, AND BRIDE-TO-BE GOES TO HOTEL. George W.

Martin Kloos, Aged 30, Tries to Blow up Home of Young Girl, Kills Marshal, Then Himself. NORTH PORT. Wash.. March 26. (Special.) Jealousy or the unrequited love of Martin Kloos, a recluse, aged 50, for Blanche Jellison, a girl of IS, of Northport. as the neighbors tell it, last night resulted in an attempt- to dyna mite the home of Mr. Jellison, the fatal shooting of Marshal J. G. Detriek and the suicide of Martin Kloos when captured following the murder of the marshal. Kloos is an old resident of the town. having been employed in the North port smelter for many years. He lived in a cabin near the Jellisons and has watched Mr. Jellison's children grow up from childhood. Miss Jellison is said to have been tinaware of the passion of Kioos. About midnight last night he set off a. stick of giant powder so near the Jellison home as to break every win dow in the house and terrify the fam ily. The occupants sought safety by fleeing to a neighbor's home, when City Marshal Detrlck was notified. With a warrant he went to the home of Kloos. who had on several occasions disturbed the peace. When the recluse refused to give himself up, the marshal began pounding the door. Kloos opened fire, the first shot tak ing effect in Detrlck s groin. Detrick, mortally wounded, was carried to the hospital, where he died an hour later. Then the townspeople pursued Kloos, who ran in the open until surrounded, then doubled back, found cover in the Jellison house his property, by the way and finding escape impossible, killed himself with the rifle which caused the marshal's death. Kloos and Detrlck were members of the same lodge, of Woodmen. Miss Jellison had never encouraged Kiocs. who was old enough to be her father. DEATH FOLLOWS EXPOSE Young Woman Takes Poison After Icr Arrest. Humiliation caused by the detection of her association with a man not her hus band prompted Mrs. May Hess, wife of a cook, to swallow the contents of a vial of carbolic acid in a room at the Victor Hotel. ITI'tS Front street, at 2:43 o'clock Friday afternoon. A moment after she had swallowed the deadly draught of poison she informed her husband of her act. Emetics were promptly adminis tered, but to no avail. The woman was hurried to St. Vincent's Hospital, where she died in the surgery at 4 o'clock. Cor oner Norden was notified and ordered the body removed to the Morgue. No inquest will be held, as the facts in the case point to suicide. Yesterday morning Mrs. Hess end Ed ward Gundlach. a young man employed as a shipping clerk in a wholesale liquor house, were arraigned in the municipal court on a statutory charge. The complaint against them was filed by J. A. Hess, ttie husband. When the case was called before Police Judge Bennett, Hess became repentant because of his part in his young wife's predicament and urged that the case be nolled. Through the in tercession of his attorney Hess succeeded in persuading Deputy District Attorney Hennessy to consent to a dismissal of the charge against the pair. The woman and Gundlach were ordered discharged from custody by Judge Bennett. Follow ing this turn of the case there was an affecting scene between Hess and his wife in an anteroom adjoining the court chamber, Hess forgiving his wife. Later in the day Mrs. Hess, who was but 20 years of uge, grew remorseful over the exposure of her infidelity. She left her room and went to a nearby drug store, where she purchased a vial of carbolic acid. Her husband, noting her departure from her apartments, followed her. He arrived at the moment when the clerk handed her the vial of poison. Hess whisked the poison from his wife's hands and placed it in his pocket, while he chicled the woman for her dire inten tions. Both returned to their hotel, where she pleaded to be given the poison, say ing she purchased it for her sister. Hess gave her the vial. A few moments later she sent him to a store to make a pur chase. During his absence she prepared herself for death. After dressing her hair and donning her best gown, the woman emptied the drug into a glass of water and drank the poison. When her husband returned she fell into his arms, exclaiming: "Jack.'l drank it I'm going to die!" She soon lapsed into unconsciousness. Dr. J. A. Courtney was summoned and ordered her removed to a hospital. The parents of the suicide reside in Anacortes, Wash. They were advised of the tragic demise of their daughter last night. A sister is employed as a waitress in a Morrison street restaurant.

Before an audience of neatly 200, E. II. Bennett, municipal architect, Friday night in the convention hall of the Commercial Club gave an illustrated talk on the beautifying of cities. Mr. Bennett did not make any statements on the specific problems which Port land will have to face in the work which he has been engaged to outline, but confined himself to showing what has been done and what it is proposed to do In other cities of the United States and Europe. The talk was given under the auspices of the Portland Civic Improvement League. Or. Weth erbee, president of the club, introduced the speaker. "History proves that great catastro phes do not lend themselves to the carrying out of improvement projects," said Mr. Bennett, speaking of the work which is now proposed in San Francis co. The primary thing to work on in the California metropolis, he said, was the encircling line of hills. The plan eventually will mean that these will be converted into parks. Though little work along the right lines was done after the earthquake in San Francisco, Mr. Bennett cited the fact that the United States Government is doing considerable at the Presidio and along the water front. Mr. Bennett also told what has been done in Manila. The speaker emphasized the fact that the plans for a beautiful city must be drawn with an eye to the future growth. Every city must be studied closely to discover. If possible, in what general direction the future trend of expansion will be, conforming the plans to such growth. Mr. Bennett said that he had intended showing some rough preliminary drawings of Portland and vicinity, explaining the general plan to be followed here, but was unable to have them prepared in time. Dr. Wetherbee said that Mr. Ben nett in the fifiurse of a. few months would submit a general suggestion for the approval of the league, and if this were adopted would proceed with the drawing of more complete and de tailed plans. Dr. Wetherbee .said that it was no "Utopian scheme," but a plan for a sensible and therefore beau tiful citj'. Mr. Bennett will leave Portland this afternoon for Chicago, where he will remain several months. He has done a large part of the planning for the uniform building of Greater Chicago. His final plan for the Improvement of Portland probably will not be sub mitted within 16- months. Is understood, includes both the Portland and Boise houses. Ill health on the part of the wife of Hugh McGulre, president of the Pacific Paper Company, and other interests on the part of Mr. Stoppenbach. vice-president of the company, are given as the reasons, for the relinquishment of the business. The purchasers operate stores in Oak land and Los Angeles as well as in San Francisco. I Zellerbach is president and manager of the company, J. C. Zellerbach vice-president and assistant manager and Max M. Cohn secretary. President Zeller bach and Secretary Cohn will be in Port land today to - assist in taking over the business. The control passes on Mon day, when Mr. Colton will be made man ager of the local house. He has been as sisted here by G. Farrell, of the purchas ing department of the Zellerbach Com pany. The Pacific Paper Company at present holds a lease of four years on the build ing, which was built for it a year ago. Manager Colton says no immediate en largements are planned, as the present quarters are sufficient to care for the business. The company will be operated under the name of the Pacific Paper Company. AMERICAN SHIPS SEIZED GUXBOAT FAILS TO OBTAIN T1IEM BY KIMBALL'S OIIDKBS. WAGE-TALK IS FAILURE MINERS AND OPERATORS CAN NOT AGREE ON TERMS. PACIFIC PAPER CO. SOLD Zellerbach Company, of San Fran cisco, Purchaser. The Pacific Paper Company, organized in Portland 19 years ago, has been sold by Its founders, Hugh McGulre and The odore N. Stoppenbach. to the Zellerbach Paper Company, of San Francisco, one of the largest paper companies, in the West. The entire stock, business, etc., of the plant, occupying the new six story building at the northwest corner of Fourth and Ankeny streets, is trans ferred along with the business and stock of the Idaho Paper Company, at Boise, a subsidiary of the Pacific Paper Com pany. Louis A. Colton. for many years head of the sales department of the Zellerbach Company, has been in Portland for the last two days arranging the final details of the purchase and on Monday will take complete control . of . the Portland house. He refused to name the amount con cerned in the transaction, but admits that an estimate of 25.000 on the stock and business is not tar wrong. This sum, it Conference Will Adjourn Today. Action of Miners Is Awaited at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI. March 26. With a com plete disagreement among its members, the scale committee of the joint confer ence of the miners and operators of Ohio, Indiana and Western Pennsylvania will report to the main body this morn ing and the conference is scheduled to come to a close. Just what action the miners then will take is a question troubling the mining interests here. 4 A street conference was held here last night by the miners' joint scale commit tee, but Its result was not announced. It is known Western Pennsylvania and Indiana operators offered a 5-cent increase on pick work. It Is reported that, at to day's meeting of the miners' conven tion the question will be whether to strike in Ohio alone or to refuse all offers and call a general strike. The latter is thought improbable, as the miners believe if they can secure an in creased wage scale In Western Pennsyl vania, and Indiana it will be adhered to throughout the country. Another alternative that had consider able backing would be the dissolution of the miners' convention, with Instructions to the various districts to sign new agreements, or, failing in this, to begin open warfare.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 26. Entan gled in the cord of a monster kite which he was flying, William Fletcher, 17 years old, was dragged over a steep declivity on Telegraph Hill this afternoon and fell 250 feet to his deatn. Fletcher, with a number of other boys in his neighborhood, had been experi mentlng with large "aeroplane" kites. The kite which made him the envy of the. youths of his vicinity was completed vesterdav and taken out for its trial trip. A high wind was blowing and Fletcher, having his eyes on the craft, did not, no tice until too late the nearness of the cliff Decision Regarding Nlcaraguan Ac tion, It Is Feared, Will Tie l'p Bluefield's Shipping. BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, March 26. The American-owned schooners Lark and Esfuerzo have been seized by Emigue Espinoza, brother of Rodolfo Espinoza, Nicaraguan ex-minister to the United States, in the name of the constitutional government. They were taken to Greytown and turned over to the troops of President Madrlz, to be used as transports. The strength of Madriz at Greytown is about 2000 men. Owners of ' the vessels protested to the America Consul, who notified the commander of the gunboat Pa- dueah, which sailed immediately for Greytown to secure the release of the schooners. The Paducah, however, re turned here .today without the Lark and Esfuerzo, having received In structions from Rear Admiral Kimball that if they were flying a foreign flag they were not to be interfered with. This decision of Rear Admiral Kim ball, It Is said, will entirely stop com merce between Bluefields and Prln zapulca, the port of entry for the min ing camps, which does a large Ameri can business. The owners of the other American vessels fear they will be seized and held. The caae has been referred to Washington. COMMITTEE IS RATIFIED No Insurgent Objects When House Takes Formal Action. WASHINGTON, March 26. By a unanimous vote the House today adopted a resolution naming a commit tee on rules composed of six Republi cans and four Democrats, in pursuance of the provision of the Norris resolu tion. After a brief discussion, which made it a matter of record that the members named in the resolution had been selected in party caucuses, the House, by a viva voce vote, adopted the resolution. Numerous protests against having a rollcall were heard, and only a handful of members arose to insist upon the demand. "Not a sufficient number," declared Speaker Cannon, looking over the House. "The vote was unanimous," added the Speaker, who by that statement made the record clear that no in surgent had objected to the personnel of the new enlarged committee on rules.
