4-STORY FALL OR
LEAP KILLS DENTIST
Dr. J. Howard Miller Jumps or
Is Thrown From Morgan
Building Window.
POLICE BELIEVE SUICIDE
Gaspipe Wrapped in Paper, General
Disorder of Office and Contents
of Pockets Scattered, Tend
to Idea of Murder.
Dr. J. Howard Miller, dentist, -was
killed yesterday morning when he fell
from the office of Dr. J. P. Tamiesle In
the Morgan building to the sidewalk on
"Washington street, four stories below.
The police believe it a case of suicide,
induced through financial stress and
physical exhaustion due to frequent
attacks of indigestion.
Dr. Miller, who lived with his wife
and adopted daughter at 542 Kast Nine
teenth street North, only recently left
the employ of Dr. Klof T. Hedlund, 459
Morgan building, and established him
self in Astoria, whither the family was
preparing to move. Their household
goods had been packed.
Dr. Miller had asked permission to
do some work in the office of Dr.
Tamiesle and had taken a grip of in
struments there. Yesterday he went to
the office of Dr. Tamiesie at 7:20
o'clock and expected a patient, he stat
ed in a note written to Dr. Tamiesle.
-Big; Job to Do," Said Dent Int.
On the way up the elevator the oper
ator, F. Cox, asked Dr. Miller how he
felt. "Fine," was the reply. "I have a
big Job to do this morning."
Several minutes later O. P. Toder,
983 East Main street, the mail carrier
who delivers to the Morgan building,
saw Dr. Miller open the door of Dr.
Tamiesie's office. Dr. Miller was hat
less and -when he saw Mr. Yoder, closed
the door hurriedly. Not more than eight
minutes after that Mr. Yoder went into
room 201 and from the window there
saw Dr. Miller just after he struck the
sidewalk.
, Motorcycle Patrolman Bales hurried
to the scene of the tragedy and in Dr.
Tamiesie's room found a piece of gas
pipe wrapped In paper. The contents of
Dr. Miller's pockets. Including some
papers, business cards, some 'chewing
gum, a bandana handkerchief and a
knife, had been flung on the floor. The
chairs were turned over and general
disorder prevailed In the room. The
police believe It to have been suicide,
despite these facts, although Dr. Hed
lund pointed to the gaspipe as evidence
of murder. Detectives Goltz and Howell
made an investigation and uphold the
theory of suicide.
When Dr. Miller hit the sidewalk the
bones In his feet were crushed, both
legs were broken and he was bruised
about the lower part of his body. There
was a scratch on his head and his
wrist was fractured, indicating that he
had struck on his feet and turned over
on his arm. Were he thrown from the
building, the police believe, he would
have struck on his side or head and
would have sustained broken ribs and
a fractured skull.
Death Follows Quickly.
Dr. Miller was still breathing when
the Ambulance Service Company ar
rived, but died ten minutes after reach
ing St. Vincent's Hospital.
Dr. Miller was a member of the Ma
sonic lodge, the Elks and the Woodmen
of the World and carried life Insurance
aggregating $3000. He was 60 years of
age and before he studied dentistry
was employed in a bank. He was at
one time a streetcar conductor.
The suicide of Dr. Miller is the third
tragedy in the Morgan building since it
was built. Lydia Wolfer, in February,
1916, Jumped from a physician's office
in the building, and on Christmas day,
1916, M. H. McCall, a barber, shot and
killed a former fellow workman In the
barber shop in the basement.

FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF TOM
RICHARDSON, BUILDER OF COMMUNITY LIFE
Executive Ability to Marked Degree, and Optimism That Brought Things to Pass Characteristic of Portland
Man Cities of West and South Grow From Richardson's Inspiration.
.... '-. ... OnP" wffu mm&k
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
TOM RICHARDSON was born Sep
tember 4, 1857, at La Grange, Mo.,
being- one of several brothers and
sisters, only one of whom, John, Ss now
living. He came from good stock, his
grandfather on his mothers side, Will
iam Muldrow, being- a celebrated man
and one of the born optimists of Ken
tucky. So widely was he known that
Mark Twain selected him for the orig
inal of his great character. Colonel
Mulberry Sellers.
Tom's father, Thomas Shannon Rich
ardson, was a more retiring man, but
he was always one of the leaders in the
communities in which he resided. He
was not a wealthy man but a citizen of
sterling . character and considerable
means, being an active business . man.
He lived the most of his life in Well
ington, Kan., where for 2 years he ran
a dry goods store. He was married to
America Clay Muldrow when a young
man and for a short time they lived in
Missouri, where the eldest children
were born.
Tom Wrote Latin at Ten.
Tom was a precocious youngster. At
the age of 10 he could read and write
Latin, which, like all other studies.
came easy to him. He attended the La
Grange Baptist College, founded by his
grandfather, and of which his father
was chairman of the board of trustees.
But he did not graduate. The restraint
of college life did not suit him, he
wanted something active, so he left his
classes and became a newspaper re
porter, then he became studious again
and studied law for a time.
But his very blood was filled with
the optimism of his grandfather and no
four walls could hold him prisoner very
long. So he quit the law and started a
weekly newspaper in Wellington, Kan.
While running this, which must have
been when he was about 18 years old,
there was fca good deal of trouble in
Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri,
made by outlaws, like the James boys,
and Tom found a better field of action,
or one that suited him better. In acting
as correspondent for the Associated
Press, covering the border troubles.
He traveled around a good deal and
made many friends and acquaintances,
attended every public meeting and con
vention and soon became known as a
convincing public speaker. He went as
far west as Colorado, south into Miss
issippi and covered much of Arkansas,
but in his younger days he was little
known east of Missouri.
Friends Made in West
He made many friends in Pueblo,
Leadville and Denver, at a time when
there was a keen rivalry between the
first and last named cities as to which
was to be the future metropolis of the
then young state. In choosing his
friends and companions he then, as
during all of his life, selected and asso
ciated with the very best people in
every town he ever lived in or worked
in, no matter how brief the period.
He perhaps, at the period of his life
I am now writing of, when he was in
his 20s, had no fixed purpose as to his
occupation In life. Brimming over with
red blood and animal spirit, his main
object was to be on the move, to be
active and to acquire the friendship
of the leaders in the various communi
ties. So he drifted into promotion work
as naturally as a duck takes to water,
and he undertook, as his first serious
work, to raise funds for building the
Mineral Palace at Pueblo. For two
years he traveled over Colorado preach
ing the greatness of Pueblo, and during
that time raised the $200,000 necessary
to complete the structure.
He probably did not know even then,
after this great success had been
achieved, that he had begun a work
that would end only in death the
building up of communities, cities and
states. Nor did he realize the fact that
it was the most hazardous and uncer
tain of occupations. Not hazardous in
a harmful way, but In a financial way,
being about the most uncertain of all
known business occupations of an hon
orable sort.
Many Cities Richardson Home.
I have found it difficult to follow
him from place to place for the fol
lowing years up to the time he was
about 31 years old. But during that
time, when he was one of the hardest
working and most active men in all
the West, he was employed in various
cities, notably in Galveston and Hous
ton. Tex., and New Orleans, La. During
that time he also did the same sort of
work for various other, cities, notably
Denver and Leadville, Colo. He also
had charge, or partial charge, of the
sale of lots for the Government when
i the Hot bp rings. Ark., townsite was
sold.
But I cannot take the space to follow
his activities. I have a trunkful of
newspaper clippings which Mrs. Rich
ardson has placed at my disposal, but
it would take a matter of months to
gather them into chronological order.
I first met him when he was fresh
from his great Texas triumphs, I think
in connection with a work taking in
Denver, rort orth, Galveston, Hous
ton and New Orleans. This was ii
1SS8, I think. I was engaged as ad
vertising manager for a large company
that was promoting various cities,
notably Denver. Cheyenne, Ogden and
Salt Lake. The company was in close
relation to the Union Pacific, Denver
& Rio Grande and Rio Grande Westeri.
railroads, and we were running excur
Biontt aver, .those, roada from Missouri
i U 1
River points and Denver to the cities
to the West as mentioned, and also to
Butte and Helena.
On one of these excursions he Joined
us and took up the work with me. I
am not sure as to the number of trips
we made together, I think either two
or three. But he then made the ac
quaintance of the president of our com
pany. Colonel A. M. York, which ended
only with his life. I do not know what
he was doing: during; the short time in
tervening; between our trips and the
formation of a new company.'composed
of Colonel York. T. W. Lee. who re
signed as general Western passenger
agent of the O. R. & X. Railway to take
up the new work in a new field La
Porte. Tex., and Tom became their ad
vertising manager. Just how long he
remained with them T do not know, but
in 1895 he married Miss Adelaide Van
Pelt, of La Porte, who had removed
to the future-great city with her par
ents from Ohio. It would be an easy
matter to trace his activities during
the following nine years, when his
work was centered mostly in the South,
at Galveston and Houston again, and
then for a longer period at New Or
leans. Portland Sent for Tom In 100-4.
But I am going to pass that period by
and come down to his appearance In
Portland, where he began the real seri
ous business of his life, having then a
family of a wife and three children. In
the Spring of 1904 I was living at Irrl-
gon, running the Irrigon Irrigator, that
being the name of a newspaper and not
a chewing gum or mouthwash. In The
Oregonian I one day noticed that one
"Colonel Thomas" Richardson, of New
Orleans, was coming to Portland, at the
instance of the Commercial Club,
through Its president, Harry SL Cake.
"Colonel" and "Thomas" meant nothing
to me, so I paid little attention to the
matter, although a member of the club.
But one day there appeared In The Ore
gonian a fine picture of the "Colonel"
and I said "why. that Is Tom Richard
son," and I soon arranged to meet him.
going up to Pendleton for that purpose,
where he held his first meeting to fur
ther the organization of the Oregon
Development League, and I was at
times closely related to him and his
many activities until the beginning of
his sickness.
When I first undertook to write this
article I thought I would get about 100
of his friends each to say a few words
about him over their signatures. I
found I could not do this within a rea
sonable time, but I secured the testi
mony of a few. which are appended
hereto. Had I had the time to get such
testimony there would have ' been no
use In giving my humble opinion of his
worth and character.
On the other hand, but few DeoDle In
Portland knew him longer or better
than I did. I think for several years I
was one of his very closest friends. He
and his family overlooked the fact of
my humble work and I was an ever
welcome visitor. . When they built the
fine residence on Sixteenth street one
of the rooms was always known as
"Mr. Bennett's room." Whenever I
came to Portland I stopped at the Rich
ardson home. When I sold The Irri
gator I came down and remained sev
eral months a member of their house
hold. In the basement I erected a
workbench and spread out my carpen
ter tools and spent lots of time tinker
ing. Wood Kept la. Order.
Tom used to come down thers and
sit for hours and watch me. Having
not the least particle f mechanical in
genuity himself, he wondered that I
could saw and plane and mortise. He
could hardly drive a nail if it was to be
driven straight. His pride was in keep
ing his wood in order, a great pile of
kindling and "fat" wood rearty for use.
Usually the first thing ha would say
when I had been away for a time would
be an invitation to go down Into the
basement and inspect the wood and
coal. I am not saying these things for
the sake of talking or consuming space,
but to give an insight Into the char
acter of the man.
I do not suppose Tom ever spent
three evenings in Portland away from
his family, unless he was detained by
business, and then he went home as
early as possible. He was a kind
father, a. loving husband. He, of course,
had his faults, but his worst may be
said to have arisen from an excess of
loyalty he never could believe any ill
against one of his friends. He was a
remarkable man in that respect, very
remarkable. In his conversation at
home, in the office, on the street, the
principal theme was the virtues of his
friends or the beauty and greatness of
Portland.
He was very unfortunate In taking
up or drifting into the most precarious
occupation any man could adopt. A
man in that business never gets the
results the majority of citizens ex
pect as soon as they expect them and
those who give the least, talk the
loudest and make the bitterest com
plaints. Perhaps no man of the same
occupation ever lived in this country
who did more permanent good than
Tom Richardson did in Portland, New
Orleans, Baltimore and other places;
and yet for the last two years of his
life there was no position offered him.

fession, yet his services were not in
demand.
When he came to Portland this city
was spoken of over the state by many
as "the Portland hog." Those and oth
ers remembered, the advertising cam
paign started here In the early '90s
when $25,000 was subscribed as an ad
vertising fund. When it came to
placing the ads one of the prominent
citizens of Portland objected to using
a single penny to advertise the state
at large. It must all be spent to bring
more people to Portland, and at that
very time Portland was overrun with
idle men.
Oregon League Brings Results.
But Tom, with great wisdom and
foresight, brought the people of the
state together by organizing the Ore
gon Development League. There was a
branch in almost every town in the
state and Portland put up all of the
money, save that each league had uni
form letterheads and envelopes, each
containing the name of the hundred
other leagues at a cost of $5 per
league. Never did a large promotion
project produce better results, never
was a plan laid on broader grounds,
never a plan carried through with
better results for the cost. When he
came here Oregon was the Jest of the
Nation as the "Webfoot State": he
banished the appellation from the vo
cabulary of the country.
Tom primarily was a big man and a
broad-gauged man. Had he chosen the
proper sphere in life he would have
been an executive officer In some great
firm or corporation. In any such place
he would have made his mark and gone
rapidly to the front along with the big
men of the country. He was not cut
out to be a ccounter of pennies, or
haggler over dimes and nickels; his
sphere was to deal in thousands and
tens of thousands, to operate with mil
lionaires and mighty corporations. Had
he entered some great firm or corpora
tion when he was a young man he
would today, had he lived, ranked with
the doers of great things In this coun
try. I might go on and tell much more
about him and go over the time from
1911, when he "eft the club, up to the
time of his death. That would include
the most wonderful triumph of his
career, at Baltimore, and his great re
ception at Denver and Houston. And
yet, sad to relate, his engagements
were very brief. People believed in
him, followed his advice, but owing to
the very nature of his business, as I
have tried to show, they used him and
his remedies and then in a way forgot
him surely forgot to give hlra his
Just deserts.
Death Dne to Broken Heart.
And finally he died of a broken
heart! For nearly two years he rest
lessly walked the streets of Portland
with no helping hand held out. In the
city he loved and praised above all
others There were men on every hand,
in this city, in various parts of the
state, in many other states, who had
greatly profited by his work; many
who through him gained renown and
fortune. But he was left without a
helping hand, his services were not in
demand and he died of a broken
heart.
Since the death of Mr. Richardson
many expressions have been received
by men prominent in the affairs of the
state and Nation, including a telegram
from John Barrett, director-general of
the Pan-American Union, who sent the
following telegram of condolence:
"Your letter of June 1 brings me first
knowledge of the death of Tom Rich
ardson, and I hasten to extend through
you to family and friends sincere sym
pathy. Tom Richardson was a con
structive genius who combined a prac
tical mind with one full of Imagination.
He had force of character, embellished
with fine enthusiasm that inspired all
his friends to co-operate with him in
whatever he was attempting to do. He
despised slackers, but was a loyal
friend to everyone, doing his part the
best he knew how. The friendship 1
enjoyed with him is one of the happy
memories of my life.
Senator Tells of Optlmlm.
T.T. S. Senator George K. Chamberlain
teiia ol tae) splendid, optimism, o air,
Richardson in the following tribute:
"The secret of Tom Richardson's suc
cess was splendid optimism. It never
deserted him in any of his public work
and he did not remain long In a com
munity before he inspired all who came
in touch with him with the same spirit.
His optimistic view as to men, meas
ures and business led some to feel that
he sometimes Indulged in exaggeration,
but those who know him best knew
better. What he said he believed, and
what was better, he soon led others to
believe, infusing new life and spirit
Into the cities to which he was called.
Oregon Is richer and better because
Tom Richardson lived there. Portland
will not soon forget him. and his mem
ory will be revered by his host of
friends. In the language of Ingersoll
at his brother's grave, it may be truly
said of him. 'If everyone for whom he
has done some kindly act could bring
a blossom to his grave he would sleep
tonight beneath a wilderness of
flowers.' "
State Owes Mefc" Wltfcycomne.
G.overnor Withycombe speaks highly
of Mr. Richardson's accomplishments
in the following letter:
"I first met Tom Richardson when
he was actively engaged In organiz
ing the Oregon Development League.
Like everyone else who was associated
with him. I was immediately Im
pressed by his buoyant enthusiasm,
never-failing kindliness and real
genius for getting people together and
persuading them to work together.
Mr. Richardson was a confirmed op
timist in the very best sense of the
word and his enthusiastic optimism did
much to shake up the communities of
Oregon to a realization of the benefits
of co-operative work. The stale owes
much to him.
"We all sincerely mourn the loss of
Tom Richardson, than whom there
never was a more loyal Oregonian."
Work Will Outlive Memory.
Theodore B. Wilcox said: "No SO
words in the English language would
adequately express my estimate of the
character and usefulness of Tom
Richardson in the commercial life of
Portland and the state of Oregon. He
labored untiringly and Intelligently to
teach us all how to help ourselves
and each other and no wiser work
could any man do. When he came here
in 1904 there was antagonism and fric
tion between the people of Portland
and the people throughout the state.
By his never-failing helpfulness to all
men he brought about complete har
mony and team work for the exploita
tion of our resources and greatly ac
celerated the Influx of new people and
the upbuilding and enjoyment of our
manifold blessings. The work he did
will long outlive his memory.
"BrneMneft Is Convincing.
A. L. Mills Bald: "A good many
years ago when Mr. Cake, then presi
dent of the Commercial Club. Intro
duced Tom Richardson to a few of the
business men of Portland, I was much
Impressed with the earnest, forceful
and convincing manner of Mr. Richard
son's address. Since that time I have
alwavpt held him in high esteem; he
was an earnest, enthusiastic, honest
and likeable man and I shall always
feel proud of the fact that Tom
Richardson considered me one of his
friends."
W. M. Ladd gave this tribute:
"We thank H. M. Cake for finding
and bringing to us the genial Tom
Richardson. Mr. Richardson was a
wise, energetic, lovable man; an expert
in his profession.
"His efforts harmonized the com
mercial Interests of our entire state.
"That harmony produced progress.
"We remember him, with grateful
hearts."
"Richardson Man of Genius."
Paid Julius Lk Meier:
"Tom Richardson was a distinct
type; a man of genius and varied pow
ers. What he did for Portland and
Oregon was held by the most careful
students lmposible. The enthusiasm
he aroused among the heavy Interests
of this community for public develop
ment work, and the persistence with
which he kept those workers in the
harness, wss a surprise to ourselves
and everybody who knew us. His pres
ence here marked the beginning of a
new lie and a new courage and a pur
pose for new work, and he will long
be remembered by Oregon.".
State Treasurer Kay said:
"An enthusiastic optimist. Tom Rich
ardson never failed to Inspire to action
for Oregon's good any community that
he visited; with keen vision and a clear
mind he realized the dormant possibili
ties of a greater Oregon and with great
force and untiring vigor he worked to
arouse the people of Oregon to the
value of making our advantages know
to the whole country; there Is scarce,
a community In Oregon that does
bear testimony to the untiring energy
of Tom Richardson.
"When I first met him In Salem he
at once Impressed me as a man of
executive ability and force and grew
to appreciate the value of his work in
the bringing Into united actlorr the
business men of this community in the
advertising of the advantages ,of this
section, the starting of many new en
terprises and the inauguration of a
united, steadfast loyalty to progressive
measures for the upbuilding of our
state. With few peers and no superi
ors in the promotion of the work of
making a greater Oregon. Tom Rich
ard son will be long remembered by
those with whom he met during his
years of service In this state."
Moit Charming of Bleu."
Said Oswald West:
"Tom Richardson was one of the
most charming of men. His faith In
the Northwest was unbounded and had
we absorbed a little more of his spirit
we would not today be asking: "What
Is the -matter with Portland?" "
William McMurray said:
"I first met Tom Richardson In Ean
Francisco when he was on his waj to
Portland to become manager of tne
Portland Commercial Club. Later and
better acquaintance with him con
firmed my first impressions and left
no doubt of his strength of character,
integrity, high purppse and tireless
energy. He was an essentially con
structive Influence In the community,
and both Portland and Oregon owe
much of the high favor they now en
Joy to his rare and masterly methods."
J. V. Tallman wrote:
"In the death of Tom Richardson
Portland has lost one of her foremost
citizens, Oregon has lost one of the
greatest human factors for her devel
opment, and I have lost a dear per
sonal friend. Though his family and
his friends may mourn his untimely
death sincerely they may find conso
lation in the fact that he did not live
in vain and that his work while in pur
midst was such that his name will en
dure as a synonym of progressive
thought and action."
