Kid
Joseph Steinberg Found
Dead This Morning.
Chose Death Rather Than Face the
Worries of Hs
Business.
Joseph Steinberg, aged S5 years, of 543
Fourth street, was found dead this morn
ing at t o'clock rat the butcher shop on
the southeast corner of First and Market
srteeta. I. Nutlelroan, who is one of the
owners of the shop, came in at the time
mentioned and called for his partner.
Steinberg, who usually got down earlier
than Nudelman. Th latter, receiving no
ivply, looked around and went to a shed
that Is constructed back of the shop,
where he was suddenly terror-stricken
to find Btelnberg dangling from a rope,
which was attached to the roof, fully 20
feel from the floor.
Nudelman commenced yelling: "Where's
the books?. Where's the books? which
he followed up by shouting: "Police!
Police!" The call was answered by Offi
cers Isaacs and Putnam, who ruahed In
and cut the body down.
BODY FOUND HALF NAKED.
Steinberg's body was found clad only
In an undershirt and a pair of trousers.
He leaves a widow and three small
children to mourn his loss. He was a
member or Webfoot Camp. Woodmen of
the World, where he carried 12,000 insur
ance Steinberg was also a member of
Industry Lodge, A. O. U. W., UD to a
short time ago, but dropped it.
REASON FOR ACT.
No 'letter or note was found stating any
reaFOns for Steinberg having committed
suicide. However, reasons are plentiful.
It anpears he was despondent for some
time past, Blnce he became a partner In
file bufonerDhop with 1. Nadelmanr some
tefi month ago. He is-known -to -have
expressed himself to the effect that ho
could not get along with his partner.
TROUBLE WITH PARTNER.
In a conversation with a friend about
two weeks ago he said:
"I can't stand It. 1 can't get along
with him He begrudges me the paltry
little money that 1 draw every Saturday
for the maintenance of my family. Ever
since I became a partner with Nudel
man luck was against me. He blames me
for the business not paying. All he says
is- 'There's lots of meat coming In, and
what becomes of it? Do the flies carry
it RWtLy?" "
Steinberg was known to have been an
honest man In all dealings with every
on, and all who knew him had a good
word for him.
In an-Interview with a Journal repre
sentative this morning, I. Friedman the
well-known butcher at First and Colum.
bla Streets, for whom Steinberg worked
- .Mvviniin to his Durtner-
ior iiiu i"1" ,
..- Joe Steinberg. was m wjk." - -nine
years, and he was honest as the day.
He left mo about nine or ten months ago
to become a partner of Nudelman. About
two weeks ago Saturday, he telephoned
up to me and asked: 'Mr. Friedman,
would you mind me coming to see you
for a few mlnuteo?1 I answered, 'Of
oourse you can.' 'Well, I thought you
were angry with me for having left you,
hs answered.
"I told him I was not at all angry and
would be pleased to see him even that
seme evenln j. He came about 10 o'oU ?k,
and in the course of the conversation
asked me If I would take him back to
my shop. I answered that I would, and
at the same salary as he was formerly
getting when in my employ. He seemed
to be excited over something, and I did
not aak him for any reasons why he
should want to leave Nudelman.
"Steinberg then saldr 'Well, I'll go to
work on the 1st, so that I can wind up
the business with Nudelman.'
"That was the last I saw of Mm until
yesterday, when he passed the shop. Joe
was an honest worker, but has. had bad
luck for some time. His suicide Ms, no
doubt the outcome of the troubles with
his partner."
NUDELMAN MAKES A STATEMENT.
I. Nudeljnan, when seen by a Journal
representative this .morning, stated that
Stelnberu was a hard worker, but would
not say whether there were any trou
bles between him and Steinberg or hot.
He further stated that after drawing
some money Sternberg left ' the shbfi" yes
terday for about twp hours, something
unusual for him, a.nd It develops that he
paid every debt he owed, Including lodge
dues. No doubt the suicide was premedi
tated. AT HIS RESIDENCE.
Mrs. Steinberg was not aware of the
death of her husband until late this
morning, when she was informed by
neighbors. She was prostrated at the
news, and being a sickly woman, fainted
away for some time. She was restored
to consciousness after considerable work
on the part of some of the women who
congregated.
The deceased was held In high esteem
by all his friends and acquaintances, who
are for the most part of the opinion that
the main reason for Steinberg's having
committed the act which rendered his
wife a widow ami his children orphans,
was due to his frequent altercations with
his partner. -
The body was taken, to Flnley's under
taking establishment, where it was
viewed by a large number of people.
A coroner's Jury Is holding an inquest
over the body this afternoon at County
Coroner Flnley's establishment.

Various Conjectures Are
Being Made
Is the Oregon Delegation Conduct
ting the Opposition to His Ap
pointment as Minister.
WASJOVaTOIT, Deo. 10 The
president announces that he does
sot believe the objections of the
Japanese government to Barrett's
appointment are serlons, but he
will suspend his commission while
considering them. Ke may trans
fer somebody to Japan and give
Barrett another Job.
There Is a movement afoot
among Senators at Washington
to oppose the appointment of
John Barrett as United States
Minister to Japan.
e
The above Is the substance of a tele
gram received by The Journal from its
Washington corespondent, and the ques
tion arises, Who Is back of the move
ment? When the news of the death of Albert
E. Buck, United States Minister to Ja
pan, became known a few days ago. the
name of John Barrett was taken up and
brought prominently before the presi
dent. The reason fur this is that John
Barrett litis shown himself to be capable
of the diplomacy necessary to cope with
the greatest heads of the Orient. This
he proved by his conduct while United
States Minister to Slam, also in his pres
erj t, jppsltkML. .of .acmtMtf'-wmmf " oY
the) Louisiana Purchase Exposition to
the Orient.
ROOSEVELT AND BARRETT.
There are many surmises as to the
forces working for the downfall of Bar
rett in his ambition to become minister
to Japan, but as yet there is no correct
solution.
A question which Is puMllng some Is,
How did Barrett's name come so prom
inently before PresldenfKoosevelt? This
may be answered by referring to his
work in the offices mentioned and to the
fact that he rendered the Republican
party service by stumping the West in
1900. This he did in suoh an effective
way as to earn the approval of Roose
velt, who was then a nominee-for vice
president.
OREGON AGAINST BARRETT.
As to who is against Barrett there
are various conjectures. Borne say that
it Is the Pacific Coast this cannot be
so, as the Paciflo Coast commercial or
ganisations have aided Barrett in all
his undertakings, prominent atnonji
,wfc4t!s. -psix 'X--'u.-ifffer to'become' United
States. Mlnl.8j.er .to China to succeed Mr.
Conger. But persistent rumor has it
that Oregon is fighting Mr. Barrett, 1. e.,
the Oregon delegation at Washington.
The reason given for this is said to be
because the' Senators from Oregon are
piqued at not being consulted regarding
his appointment. .
CALIFORNIA'S AMBITION.
The aspirations of Dr. Chester Row
ell, of Fresno, Cal.. for the distinguished
honor, may probably nave something to
do with the opposition. It is known
that Senator Bard of California re
quested the appointment by President
Roosevelt but was told that the ad
mlnstratton had already decided to ap
point Barrett. However, this cannot
prejudice the California delegation
against Barrett, as President Roosevelt
has told the California Senators that he
would not appoint Rowell.
A reasonable theory expressed by
some is that the antl-expansiontsts are
the cause of the opposition to Barrett.
This Is deduced from the statement of
Barrett, when on his return from the
Orient in 1899. that the Republican pol
icy of the retention of the Philippines
was the best. When this statement was
published it drew a howl of rage from
the antis.
ANTI-EXPANSIONISTS THE CAUSE.
Another point in favor of the theory
that the aijtis are at the bottom of the
opposition, is the Btory of the Lawton
ljil.terr which attracted. great deal -of
attention all over the country at the time
of its reading by Barrett.
Many Htm beaf in miffcl the- details
surrounding that ctter. It was at a din
ner of the New England Society, held in
Boston in the early part of 1900 previ
ous to Gen. Lawton's death John Bar
rett was one of the Invited guests.
When called upon to speak. Barrett
produced what purported to be a letter
from General Lawton, stating that If he
(Lawton) were killed in the Philippines
in the performance of his duty. It would
be by American and not by rebel bullets.
The implication in this letter being that
the moral, and some said, the financial
support, being given by Bryan and his
party to Agulnaldo was such as to keep
alive the Philippine insurrection, and
but for their support the rebellion would
soon die out and no more lives be lost.
The genuineness of this letter was
attacked by the anti-Imperialists and
their newspapers, and Barrett kept them
in a fever of rage by refusing to show
the letter. However, in September or
October. 900, the letter was printed.
SUPPORT IN THE EAST.
Many of his friends' claim that what
gets him into hot water is what they
term his "Barrett Ism," that Is. his pe
culiar personal ways, which they claim
is mostly his love of boasting. Be this
as It may. Barrett is receiving the sup
port of the New England States in his
tight. This was his main source of
support in" his appointment as'ininlster
to Siam by President Cleveland. T'nfteJ
States Senator George F. Edmunds, of
Vermont, not resting at that time lentil"
Barrett's appointment was confirmed.
The reason for the support in those far
Eastern states was the fact of his being
born nd spending his early days In
Vermont.
APPEARANCE IN PORTLAND.
John Barrett made his first appear
ance In Portland in 1890, having come
from Tacoma. where he worked on the
Tacoma Ledger for a short time. On
his arrival here he occupied various po
sitrons wtth the local rnrpers unttl IStt,
when he became city editor of the Even
ing Telegram. From here he worked his
wires so that he received the appoint
ment of minister to Slam in 1891. He
remained in Slam for four yt-ars, then at
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
War went-te- Manila-aeted s--war-correspondent
for several papers on the
"Olympla." Admiral Dewey's flagship.
He returned to the United States in 1899
and published his book. "Dewey, the
Man." which proved to be a financial
success.
