fisherman was connected with the mur
der. the police obtained the fisherman's
services in tracing the fugitive. The
fisherman was well acquainted with
Bartholomew's habits, and assured the
police that the man was a denizen of
the underworld, and a person of de
generate habits.
Detective Know later accompanied
the fisherman to Seattle, where they
spent several days in the underworld
of that city. They learned that Bar
tholomew was well known there, and
had been seen there on various occa
sions between December 10 and 12,
ISIS. One of the fugitive's associates,
known to the police as "Rio," one day
hailed Bartholomew on James street,
but the man fled without replying.
Chase Kollowed Along Coast.
Henry Whipple, a close friend of
Bartholomew's, was visited by the de
tective at the home of his stepfather,
John Salerjus, who lives near Water
man, Wash. It was through this friend
that the police hoped to locate the al
leged murderer, for they felt sure that
the two would communicate with each
ether. The police learned that Bar
tholomew had received mail at 108
James street, but found that the man
had left the city.
Then the fisherman, lured by the
hope of the $500 reward which had
been offered for Bartholomew's ap
prehension, took up the chase by him
self. The District Attorney's office
paid his expenses,' and "he traveled up
and down the Coast from San Diego to
SfHttle.
Once the man made a trip to Bar
tholomew's old home in Minneapolis
as a hobo.
While the police have received no
details as to the arrest by the Seattle
detectives, it is believed that the fish
erman, who still was on the trail, fi
nally located Bartholomew and pointed
him out to Seattle Detectives Hayden
find Peterson, who made the arrest.
These were the detectives Introduced
to the fisherman by Detective Snow
when the latter visited Seattle in con
nection with the case.
Detective CxoeK for Suspect.
District Attorney Evans was so sure
of the fisherman's connection with the
case last night that he predicted that
the man would get the reward offered
for the suspect's apprehension.
Detective Snow left last night to
bring Bartholomew back to Portland.
The police received information to the
effect that the man would not fight
extradition.
Others to whom -especial credit for
the. capture is due are Detectives Price
and Mallett.
The body of John Lind. crushed, mu
tilated and blood-stained, was found
In a trunk, picked up in the Willam
ette River at the foot of Flanders
street, near the plant of the Vulcan
Iron Works, late on Friday night, No
vember 13, 1915.
Fred Hartman. 254 First street
North, found the trunk when he
brought to its moorings a rowboat in
which he had been riding norfh. of
town.
Laundry Marks Identify Body.
laundry marks on some of the dead
man s clothing led to the establish
ment of his identity as John Lind, a
man of unfixed habits and unsettled
place of residence. This same clew
convinced the police, too. that George
Bartholomew was the man responsible
for the murder.
One laundry mark was "2021." An
other was "77." A handkerchief bore
the mark "F. B."
A picture, believed to be that of the
dead man, was an important discovery
among the contents of the trunk.
T'.ie trunk also contained a straw hat.
a pillow, a sheet, which was partly
wrapped around the body, a window
curtain, a collar box, several small
sponges and other personal effects.
The police theorized that the murderer
had sought thus to dispose of all pos
sible clews that migit lead to his dis
covery. A number of women's effects,
.such as handkerchiefs, a pair of gloves,
a handbag, collar and a few buttons
also were found.
Name Found on Ribbon.
On a black ribbon, two Inches wide,
the name "F. Lind" was worked in red
thread. In the sweatband of a man's
soft black hat, aluo in the. trunk, were
perforated the initials "G. B." . With
f.tose meager details the police started
out to trace down the murdere.
Detectives Price and Mallett made the
rounds of the laundries and soon
learned that one of the laundry marks
corresponded to that of a customer who
had been living at 407 Stark street.
About the time that the detectives
arrived at the place Mrs. DeCorsey,
proprietor of the lodging-house, was
telephoning to the police that one of
her rooms was topsy-turvy and that
blood-stains were on the wall. She be
lieved that a murder had been com
mitted. From then on developments came
thick and fast. Rev. John Ovall, of
548 Mill street, having seen the picture
of the murdered man in The Oregonian,

MARSHFIELD. Or.. Nov. 25. (Spe
cial.) Frank B. Tichenor is the first
Democrat elected to the State Legisla
ture from this district since R E. L.
Bedillion was sent by Bandon in 1908.
Mr. Tichenor resides at Port Orford. the
home of the pioneer Tichenor family.
He is elected as Joint Representative
from Curry and Coos counties. Mr.
Tichenor was Indorsed by the pro
hibitionists, since he made a declara
tion for that principle.
The election of Mr. Tichenor was due
largely to his method of campaign. He
made a house-to-house canvass in the
cities and visited every section of both
counties. His grandfather. Captain
William Tichenor, an Indian fighter,
represented this section of Oregon in
the State Legislature in, the early '60a.

went to the morgue and established the
body as that of John Lind, who had
attended his services at Salem the week
before. Rev. Mr. Ovall was positive in
his identification.
Rev. Mr. Ovall also described Lind's
companion of the Sunday before who
had visited the church with him.
Through the police at Salem Lind's
companion was established as George
Bartholomew.
It developed that Lind had made
some inquiry among real estate agents
at Salem and at Albany regarding the
purchase of a farm. He told these
agents that he had $2000 to invest and
that he wanted to buy a chicken-ranch.
C. C. Schmidt, an Albany banker,
also identified the pair. He reported
that the men had visited him relative
to' some land purchases. Like Rev.
Mr. Ovall and others who had observed
them. Mr. Schmidt was suspicious of
the good intentions of the man de
scribed as Bartholomew.
Meanwhile the police worked on an
other clew, which, however, proved
fruitless. They learned that the mur
derer had taken his victim's body from
the lodging-house at 407 Stark street
to the wharf in an express wagon
which was -procured from the Model
Livery stables at Fifth and Davis
streets.
An unknown man was engaged to
help in carrying the trunk from the
house to the wagon and from the
wagon to the wharf. The police of
fered rewards for the appearance of
this man, promising immunity from
arrest, but he never put in an appear
ance. Subsequent communications with po
lice in other parts of the country re
vealed that the much-wanted Bartholo
mew is the son of Mrs. Rita Hopkins,
of 711 East Thirty-fifth street. Minne
apolis, and that he formerly lived at
Aberdeen, S. D.
All further efforts to find Bartholo
mew failed. A few weeks later Wil
liam F. Smyth, a waiter, was arrested
at Cheyenne. He resembled Bartholo
mew in appearance, but was able to
prove an alibi. He was released.
HIRING OP WAGON ADMITTED
Body. of Lind Placed in Trunk; and

SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 25. A man
answering the printed description and
photograph of George Bartholomew,
charged with the murder of John Lind
in Portland. Or., November 19. 1915,
was arrested on the street a block from
the Oregon-Washington passenger sta
tion tonight. He was taken to the po
lice station for interrogation, and, ac
cording to the police, admitted that
he was Bartholomew, for whom search
had been made for a year. .
The police say that the prisoner ad
mitted hiring from a Portland livery
stable a rig on the day after John
Lind's disappearance, but denied that
he had any connection with the murder.
The police say that Bartholomew late
tonight admitted that he placed Lind's
bddy in a trunk, loaded it into a livery
rig. which he had hired, drove to the
Willamette River and dumped the trunk
into the stream. According to the po
lice, the prisoner insists that he was
not in the room when Lind was killed,
and that he did not touch the body
until after Lind was dead.
According to the police, Bartholomew
said he and Lind had been together
several weeks before the murder, and
went to Portland from San Francisco.
On the day of the murder Bartholomew
and Lind were in the room on Stark
street when a third man entered the
room and struck Lind several times
on the head with a club, killing him
Then, according to the police version
of Bartholomew's story, Bartholmew
decided to dispose of the body lest sus
picion should fall on him. Bartholo
mew, the police say, told them that
from Portland he went to Colorado and
Utah and arrived in Seattle today, only
a short time before he was arrested-

W. H. Warren, secretary to Mayor Al
bee. swooped down on the Claremont
tavern, on the St. Helens road near

A dozen men and women were sur
prised In the place when the officers
appeared, but the "party" appeared to
be peaceable, and no arrests of patrons
were made. A small quantity of liquor
was seized.
The officers acted last night in pur
suance of a report received about the
taVtern several days ago. They declare
that they "will clean the place up" if
a uniformed police officer has to be
stationed there.
The Claremont tavern, in its palmy
days, was the rendezvous for merry
makers of all classes and ages, but

opinion by her radical social views.
One of her acts during this period was
to hold a suffrage meeting In a grave
yard at night when permission to hold
the meeting in the college chapel had
been refused her. She also made a
name for herself as an athlete, being
captain of her class hockey team, which
won the college championship, and a
member of the 1909 track team, at
which time she established a new rec
ord for the college in the eight-pound
shot-put at 31 feet 8 inches.
Aside from her college activities, she
worked among the poor children in the
city of Poughkeepsle. and had herself
appointed court probation officer. Dur
ing her first college vacation she visit
ed London and there Joined the I'ank
hurst suffragettes, making several
speeches and being once arrested.
During the 1908 Presidential coro
paign she won new fame as "the girl
who broke up the Taft parade." While
the parade was being held in New' York
City, she stationed .herself in a win
dow and shouted "Votes for Women!"
through a megaphone. Some of the
marchers fell out of the parade and
gathered around her to hear her make
a speech for the suffrage cause.
Following her graduation from Vas
sar College she attempted to enter
Harvard Law School,, but this permis
sion was denied her on the ground that
it was not a co-educational Institution.
The incident gave rise to a heated
newspaper controversy in which Inez
Milholland and other prominent fem
inists took part. She also became ac
tive about this time In the working
girls' cause, taking part in the shirt
waist makers' strike. In the clash of
the strikers with the police she was
arrested and locked up, but after a
controversy of several weeks the
charge against her of leading an un
lawful assembly was finally dropped.
Miss Milholland finally received her
degree in law at the New York Uni
versity Law School in 1912. and during
tats time she was active as a suffrage
worker and speaker and organizer of
woman's parades, being featured in
them both in New Tork, Washington,
D. C and elsewhere as "the most
beautiful suffragette." At election time
she was always a watcher at the polls

Thousands of people who have kid

not realize the important part the kid

good health is impossible, as the pot
