President Refuses toRe
. i prieve Him
Baotifa! Wife Whom He Deserted
Worked With Ideal Devo
tion to Save Him
(Journal Special Service.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, March I. Pres
ident Roosevelt, having declined to inter
fere, the execution of Homer Bird, the
Alaaka murderer whose case has at
tracted widespread attention, will take
place tomorrow' in far-ofl Alaska,
. The case of Bird reads like a novel.
Six years aco he was a well-to-do busi
ness man in New Orleans. He had a
beautiful and talented wife, several
children and a happy home. Then he met
the other -woman, Naomi Strong', for
whom he neglected his wife and child
ren. In 18)7 he organized an expedition
to Alaska, taking the woman with him,
and also three men Huriln, Patterson
and Sheffler. When the party had reached
a point near the Slaughter House, on
the Yukon, Bird was seized with jeal
ousy on account of the attentions of
the other men to the Strong woman. He
deliberately shot and killed Huriln and
Inflicted a fetal wound, on Patterson,
from which thelatter died several weeks
afterward.
Sheffler and the woman managed to
scape and reported the facts; Bird
was arrested, and' at the trial the Strong
" woman testified against the man she had
aided in ruining, and, largely on her
testimony. Bird was convicted of murder
and sentenced to be hanged. Then his
Wife, who had been basely deserted, took
BP her efforts to save his life. Site came
to Washington and appealed to all the
authorities here who could do anything
for her husband. An appeal was pend
ing In the courts, however, and Presi
dent , McKinley would not act until the
appeal had been disposed of. The Su
preme Court granted Bird a new trial.
He was again put on trial and was
once mors convicted. Again there Was
an appeal on a writ of error, and a third
thai was granted by "the iourts. On
this trial Bird was for th' third time
convicted 01 muraer, ana as a result
his execution takes place tomorrow in
the Jail at Sitka, where ha ha been con
fined for nearly five years.
The devotion and self-sacrifice of Mrs.
Bird have beea most extraordinary. She
attended her husband upon all three of
his trials; came to Washington to see
President McKinley when the first re
spite was granted and has expended all
the money which she eould raise for his
defense and appeals. Curing her re
cent Visits here she has been received
by President Roosevelt, ' Attorney-General
Knox and others with th greatest
consideration but th convincing evi
dence of Bird's guilt and the atrocity
of the crime made It out of the question
for any further clemency to be exercised.
POLICE HATTERS DISCUSSE
Nothing startling . came before the
Executive Board and Police Commission
this morning. Chief f Police Hunt pre
sented his January. nd February re
ports, which showed that ISO arrests
had been made in January and 448 last
month. The payroll was approved; also
bills amounting- to $44185. Last month's
bills were $623.70. The expense of pay
ing the board-of; witnesses In the recent
sailor Kidnaping case will be presented
to the county.
"I do not think the city should pay
the expenses of witnesses to be used
In courts other thaji our Own," said
Mayor Williams.
The cost of police telephones was dis
cussed. It is the opinion. of the com
mittee that the hell company bad bet
ter not raise the price of-the police
phones.
"They should charge us nothing," re
marked Gen. Bee be. '
Mr. Slchel thinks that the police head
quarters and city Jail should be heated
by a furnace. "A furnace .would not
take much .more fuel than One stove,"
he said. -The
Mayor appointed Gen. Beebe and
Mr. Slchel as the Executive Board
members of the Joint committee to in
quire into the condition of the city Jail.
The Chief stated that the new patrol
wagon would be here soon.

Two train loads of tobacco, the first
shipment of this kind ever sent out of
the Port of Portland, will leave the Co
lumbia River on Saturday by the O. R.
& N. Company's steamer Indravelli,
bound for Japan and the Orient In ad
dition to this shipment of tobacco th
Indravelli will carry her Ordinary cargo
of beer, flour and staples for Oriental
consumption. . . i '
The tobacco shipment, the first of
many, is made by the American Tobacco
Company. JSIxty-seven cars of tobacco
traveled clear across the American con
tinent, and were unloaded at the Port'
land docks and their contents transfer
red to the hold of the liner. The to
bacco was grown in Virginia and North
Carolina, and is being shipped for pwa
most part in Jts natural rorm. ?
uoes to japan.
By far the larger portion of this ship
ment is consigned to dealers In Japan,
and will there be manufactured Into cig
arettes for which the Orient Is famous.
"Hero" olgarettes.' advertised by flam
ing letters on every hillside In Japan,
are filled with American -tobacco, and
there are also manufactured at Hong
Kong, China, several varieties of alleged
American cigarettes which are placed
on the Philippine and Australian mar
kets as having come from the United
States. v
Six carloads of beer will also be snip
ped toward the Far East on the Indra

as well as that wade" in Milwaukee and
elsewhere, is shlooed through the rort

Ransom, who, under General Freight
Agent R. B. Miller, is In charge of the

Immense amount, - Over th roads toe

this tobacco was raised a locomotrv

therefore, be seen,' that two full train

-In addition to the tobacco and beer

WARRANT ISSUED
FOR JOHN FEEH
On complaint of Mrs. A. L. Poppel.
a warrant was Issued for the arrest of
John Feeh on the charge of assault and
battery. Th latter is a German, and
is employed at Weinhard'a Brewery.
In the complaint it Ik alleged that last

with his clinched fist, felling her to the
floor of her home. It Is also alleged
that he said: "I'll kill you, you -fool."
The trouble Is said to have origin
ated over the discharge of Feeh as a
boarder at Mrs. Poppers place. Since
then, it Is said, he has been very abus
ive toward her, often calling at het
home, intoxicated and threatening trou

A w, Effectual and Convenient Our
Vox Catarrh. .
Of Catarrh remedies, there la no end, .
but of catarrh cures, there has always
been a great scarcity. There are many ,
remedies to relieve, but very few that ;
really cure.
The old practice of snuffing salt water
through th nose would often rellev,
and washes, douches, powders and en
halers in common use are very little. If
any, better, than th-old-fashioned salt
water douche, . .
The us of Inhalers and the application
of salves, washes and powders to th
nose and throat to cure catarrh Is no
more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is Just
as much a blood disease as kidney trou
ble or rheumatism, and it cannot b
cured by local treatment any more than
thflv can be. j
.To-ur catarrh, .Whether in the head,
throat or stomach, an internal antiseptic
treatment 'is necessary to drive th ca
tarrhal poison out of th blood ana sys
tem, and, the new catarrh cur is de
signed on this plan, and the remarkabl
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets la :
because, being used Internally, it drive
out catarrhal infection through . action
upon the stomach, liver and bowels.
Win. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relate
an experience With catarrh Which 1 of
Value to millions of cataTrta-snfferer ev erywhere.
H says: "I neglected a
slight nasal catarrh until it gradually
extended to my throat and bronchial
tubes and finally even my stomach and
liver became affected, but as I was abl
to keep up and do a day's work, I let it
run along until my heating began to fall
me and then I realised that K must get
rid of catarrh or lose my position, as I
was clerk and my hearing was absolutely
necessary.
"Some of my friends. recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but
they were no good in my case, nor was .
anything else until I heard of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and bought a paolcaue .
at my drug store. They benefited m
from the etart, and ' in less than four -months
I wa completely cured of ca
tarrh, although I' had suffered nearly all
my life from It. ;
They are nleasant to take and so
much mor convenient to use than other
eatarrh remedies that I feel X cannot say
enough In favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets.'" ; - -' - ' .. -
