Wrong.
SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
Trained Nurse Hurries West to Seek
Justice for Killing of George
Carl by Yakima County Of
ficers on May 2.
Crying for justice against the officer
of Yakima County. Washington, and de
claring that they slaughtered her brother
without justification, Evalena Carl, a
young and attractive trained nurse, came
all the war from Philadelphia to investi
gate the matter and was in Portland yes
terday consulting attorneys -with a view
to commencing proceedings against the
slayers of George Carl.
Carl was killed by a revolver shot from
Deputy Sheriff Storey's gun, on May A
after he had been discovered In hiding
in the brush near Granger. The account
that was given of the affair at the time
stated that Carl had been caught steal
ing from the residence of J. W. Frazier
on the Indian reservation and that when
n attempt was made to arrest him He
drew a revolver, fired five shots and
escaped In the brush, where he was
afterward discovered and killed while
resisting arrest.
Sister Denies Cliarges.
That practically all of these statements
are wrong, is the assertion of the sister.
6he says that Carl was but 17 years old
and was employed in a hotel at Castle
Kock. Frazier, who is a cattleman, owed
him $40 and he went down to Granger to
collect it. They had an altercation and
finally Carl drew a revolver, of which
he had two on, his person, and backed
into the brush.
Frazier, Miss Carl says, then sent an
Indian called Poker Charley to alarm the
i l i 1. .1 ,1 them that ft. deS-
IH-I0Ill.71 IJV'tJVl (II 11 A till
perado was in hiding and to come quickly
or he would escape. The Indian first
notified Deputy Sheriff Dekraay, who
repaired to Carl's hiding place and made
an Investigation, after which he went
back to get a warrant, leaving Frazier
and a farmer to guard the thicket.
Meanwhile. Poker Charley rode through
the country-Bide arousing a posse and a
number of persons collected at the spot.
City Marshal Bartlow, of Granger, and
Deputy Sheriff Storey came up and
trailed Carl to a bridge, under which
lie was found clinging to the timbers of
the substructure. Bartlow ordered him to
surrender and shot three times at him.
He stated afterward, says Miss Carl,
that he shot to kill.
Carl then dropped from his hiding place
and started to run. Storey took up the
chase, commanded the fugitive to halt
and when he did not do so fired a shot
which struck the ground in front of him.
Carl Did Xot Shoot, Says Girl.
Carl then turned and leveled his re
volver, but, his sister alleges, did not
shoot. Storey then fired again and Carl
dropped in a dying condition.
The officers alleged self-defense and
were not blamed in the verdict of the
Coroner's Jury. They all said, however,
that had they known the facts as to the
identity of the fugitive no shooting
Would have been necessary.
Miss Carl bitterly blames Frazier for
telling the pursuers that the boy was a
desperado when he well knew he was
only a body and of previous good char
acter. She says the officers acted hastily
and without good judgment, hut admits
that they probably were acting within
their legal rights.
Word of the killing was received by
Miss Carl in Philadelphia from her
brother's fiancee at Castle Rock. She im
mediately came West and spent e. num
ber of days at North Yakima and
Granger investigating the affair. That
her investigations were thorough is
evidenced by the lucid and connected ac
count that she gives of the matter. Find
ing that she could do nothing at North
Yakima, she came on to Portland and
laid the matter before attorneys.
IJttle encouragement was given her by
her counsel, it being held that the only
witnesses to the affair being on the de
fensive and the fact that Carl was armed
being undisputed, it will be impossible
to show that the plea of self-defense is
not well grounded. Further Investigation
will be made, however, and an attempt
made to get the matter before the grand
jury of the county where the killing occurred.
DOCTORS CAUGHT IN WRECK
Portland Physician and Wife Give
First Aid to Injured.
Friday, May 13, Drs. Vndrew H. and
Mrs. Johnson, living at East Ninth and
East Ankeny streets, who are traveling
in Canada, were in a. train wreck, but
escaped serious injury themselves. Both
being physicians they were busy attend
ing to the injured. Dr. Johnson, In writ
ing of the accident and incidents of the
trip, says:
"Please don't think I'm superstitious
when I tell you that on Friday, May 13,
I awoke (train passing through Toronto)
from my slumbers at 4:30 A. M., to hear
the crashing of timber, breaking of iron
and grinding of car wheels on the cross
ties. On looking out of the car window
I saw our car swaying to and fro, almost
hitting the solid rock wall on an em
bankment and threatening to roll down
into a lake on the other side. Many pas
sengers woke up, standing in their night
dresses in the aisles of the cars. When
the train finally stopped the three back
coaches, including the one we occupied,
lay on their sides, completely wrecked,
with passengers climbing out of the win
dows on the top of the car. Dr. Lola
(my wife) and I spent a season binding
up sprains, bruises and lacerations, and
attended several women who had heart
failure. No one was killed. Dr. Lola got
a slight bruise on each arm, and poor me
got off' with a black-eye."
Dr. Johnson tells of passing through
hundreds of treeless regions in Toronto,
remarking "God help the poor sinner who
tries to live here rock, rock. rock. I did
not see a fruit tree from the Rocky
Mountains to Clear Water, 100 miles north
of Toronto."
SPANISH SWINDLE REVIVED
Hook Thrown' Out to Jacob Blum,
Who Does Not Bite.
Regretting that his Spanish- relative
must remain in a damp, dark prison at
Madrid, and that his beautiful young
daughter cannot be rescued from her
school in America, Jacob F. Blum of
i-ccU; J?orU&nd yesterday declined to.
be separated from his money through
a bunco game.
It was the annual appearance of the
"Spanish swindle," against which pos
tal authorities have issued many warn
ings. Tue letter received by Mr. Blum pre
tended to be from Edwardo Blanco
Blum, and announced that the latter
was suffering an unjust political im
prisonment in Spain. The prisoner
traced a relationship through his moth
er, alleged to have been Mrs. Mary
Blum.
The usual story as to a large fortune
being secreted and offering Mr. Blum
one-fourth of the sum was recited, and
the American was asked to wire his
acceptance to Madrid. Following the
telegram it was promised that a de
tailed account of the location of the
money and the method of securing it
was to be returned. In consderation of
that information the American Blum
would be required to send on a sum of
money to be used as bribes and in se
curing the release of the prisoner
The letter has been placed in the
hands of Assistant United States At
torney Evans, but because Mr. Blum
did not forward any money, nothing
can be done.
The Spanish swindle has been worked
all over the United States, and is one
of the best J-.nown ' bunco .' games In
existence. - '

cial.) Because Mr. Kaskii, of Hammond,
forwarded a petition ' signed by a num
ber of the people of Hammond to the
Prosecuting Attorney requesting that
steps be taken to enforce rigidly within

Tacoma and Seattle Business Men
Arrange to Send Excursions to
Portland President - Hojt
Pleased at Outlook. .
During the past few days many of
the secret, fraternal and social orders
which maintain uniform rank auxil
iaries have been in consultation with
the management of the Rose Festival
regarding entrance in two of the lead
ing: street ' pageants the horse and
carriage parade by day and the "Spirit
of . the Gold West" by night. Oppor
tunity for - participation in each of
these parades will be given to every
organization, no matter of what char
acter, so long as the marching brigades
appear in uniform.. , -"
Heretofore, some of Portland's well
drilled and smartly accoutered fraternal
bodies have enhanced the beauty and
spectacular effectiveness of the various
processions by the introduction of
footmen going through intricate and
ever-changing maneuvers. These sec
tions have served to set in relief the
divisions of the main theme of the
parades and have added the element of
action that is always desired.
The management has arranged to
outfit every marching . body that
wishes to take pain, with red-fire
torches and electric sparklers for the
"Spirit of the Golden West . parade,
and will assign special aides to these
sections.
Parade Will. Be Brilliant.
The brilliancy ' of ' each ' of the
pageants in which the marching clubs
are to take part' is asured, for where
the. night procession will be rendered
a more majestlcal . event by illumina
tions, the daylight events will be given
greater ' picturesqueness in costuming
and decorative effects.
It was announced at headquarters
yesterday that there will be room for
all clubs, societies, - associations and
organizations, civic, military or social,
to have place in some one of the chief
events on the programme. All 'are
urged to get into communication with
Festival headquarters at once, so that
the committees in charge of the events
may be able to arrange for the assign
ment of position and general makeup
of the parades.
Tacoma was heard from yesterday. A
monster delegation from that city will
come here by special train to take In
the festival on one or more days. The
commercial bodies of that city are now
planning for the big excursion, and
while here the Tacomans will formally
invite the city to Portland to return
the visit and assist in the dedication
of the magnificent hippodrome which
will be thrown open to the public there
some time in July.
Seattle, through Its Chamber of Com
merce, Commercial Club and Automo
bile Club, is doing yeoman service
along similar lines, and consequently
President Hoyt is elated. Never in the
past has such good feeling been shown
by Portland's neighbors as is now
being manifested toward the coming
Rose Festival.
WULLNER TO SING HIS
MOST POPULAR NUMBERS
"Witch's Song" Recognized as Leading Selection of Programme That
Will Be Given Tomorrow Night at Masonic Temple.
............ .......,.,,,,,,,..,,,.,,. ....
LrDWIG WlLLXEtl, WHO WILE, APPEAR IX COXCEUT TOMORROW
NIGHT.
SPLENDID is the programme that
Dr. Ludwig Wullner has selected for
his recital at the Masonic Temple
tomorrow night. It Is known ' as the
"Witch's Song" programme because it
includes Wildenbruch's great -poem of
tragedy by that name. It is the pro
gramme with whic.h Dr. Wullner bid
farewell to New York six weeks ago. It
is the one which took Eastern Canada
by storm last April the same extraordi
nary list of songs that filled the Greek
Theater in Berkeley, Cal., during early
May, and which created a. furore in San
Francisco one week later. It Is the pick
of Dr. Wullner's repertoire of more than
700 songs. It is his favorite programme,
and thousands of concert-goers through
out America have agreed that it is, in
deed, his finest group of offerings.
The crowd that promises to greet Dr.
Wullner tomorrow nisht will be equal, in
size, to the distinguished interpreter's
great art. Few who heard Dr. Wullner
here earlier in the season will miss hear
ing him again. Those who learned of
his greatness after, he had gone are now
preparing to avail - themselves of this
second opportunity. In addition to the
great "Witch's Song," tomorrow night's
programme will contain 14 compositions
by such masters as Schubert, Brahms,
Schumann, Herrmann, Wolf and Slnd
lmr. . .. :.
Columns might be printed setting forth
the laudatory criticisms that have ap
peared throughout the country and
which review this finest of all Wullner
programmes. The following is taken
from the Montreal Star of April 10:
"The spell which Wullner weaves
about his audiences appears to be of
lasting potency. Last night, on the oc
casion of his third recital in this city
within one season, he met with a recep
tion that can only be described, as in
tensely enthusiastic. He aroused his
hearers to a - pitch of exalted emotion
that no singer who has . appeared In
Montreal this season, or for many sea
sons past, has. ever approached. It is

agination of his audience that Wullner
achieves his greatest effects. It is when
he voices the overwhelming burden under,
which the groaning Atlas staggers, when
he tells the dread story of those spirits
imprisoned that Schiller depicts in
'Gruppe aus dem Tartarus," when he
sings the wonderful 'Song of the Winds,
by Hugo Wolf, that he stirs the pulse and
fascinates the Intellect of his hearers.

greatest. The story as told by Wullner
Is a glowing, vivid drama of humanity.
The actor in Wullner we are apt to for
get. It must be recalled that for years
he was one of Germany's greatest his
trionic stars. His great training finds
ample play in "Das Hexenlied," and for
sheer gripping- power, strength of emo

long remembered by those who were
