Inflicting a wound from which he died st 11 o'clock, in th Good Samaritan hospital. Mrs. Minnie Goodman, to whom he waa married but four weeks ago in the same hotel, waa first to hear the shot, and to reach hla side. She rushed from their apartments to the bathroom, burst through the door and found her hus band lying on the- floor with a gaping wound In his head. He waa unconscious and did not recognise her. Leon Good man, brother of the wounded man. was called from upstairs, and Charles E. Hayes also reached the room immedi ately after the shot wss fired. Urs. A. Tllser and J. D.

IS AFTER THE GAIL Dan Halarkey Wants Pre- sidency- of State : Senate. v FORCES MAYS' HAND The Utter Is Expected to Be the Machine Candidate, But Is Not Eager to Announce His Po ' V - siUon Yet Dan J. Majarkey, who upset th plana of the Republican machine in the county convention last spring, broke the legis lative slats and forced himself on the ticket aa one of the nominees for state senator from. Multnomah oounty, la plan' ning another coup. Having been elected senator, he le now preparing to be come a candidate for president of the senate. ' . . Maiarkey broke the news of his own oandtdacy a (ew days ago to arena r. Maya, who haa been credited with being himself a tentative aspirant for the honor of presiding over the upper house of th legislature. Thue far. However, Mars haa refused to declare himself positively In the race. "If you are really a candidate your self, Pleroa," said Maiarkey. "1 wUl be for you. But if you are not. I am going after it. Multnomah, oounty la entitled to name the president of the senate and I want th office if you are not in the race." Presumably , the declaration was not altogether welcome to Pierce Mays, who found himself confronted with the neces sity of either becoming an avowed can didate or ot withdrawing altogether from ths race. Mays baa been regarded aa the probable choice of the Matthewa machine for president of the senate, and If he could aecure the support of the seven Multnomah senators he might be a formidable candidate. But alnce the June election the machine haa been sorely discredited, and its aid la of doutful value.' Senator C W. Notting ham would refuae to vote for anyone who was avowedly backed by the ma chine and there are probably a number of senators from other parts ' of the state who would take the came course. Mays' chances ' will not be enhanoed by declaring himself, at this stage of the race, aa a candidate But Maiarkey is rather insistent In his demand tor a definite statement of his colleague's po sition, and if it shall not be forthcoming he will not hesitate long before openly entering the 'lists. : Dr. Kuykendall and George G. Brownell have been canvass ing for several months and are losing no opportunity to add to their strength. If a Multnomah man is to get the of fice, his campaign, cannot be delayed much longer. There will be 26 Republi cans In the next senate, and as the choice of president will be determined In caucus, IS votea will be enough to elect. Including two joint senators, Multnomah county haa seven senators and if their votea can be bunched for any candidate he will have a atrong prospect of win ning. It Is possible that Maiarkey might get the solid Multnomah delegation If the machine should become reconciled to his candidacy, but he le by no means per aona grata, The memory of the defeat which he administered in the county convention still rankles, Furthermore, Maiarkey Ms regarded aa "dangerous." He cannot be relied upon to take pro gram with the unhesitating obedience that the machine la wont to exact and on several momentous occasions hs has jumped the traces sttogether. A notable Instance was the contest for United States senator In 1901, when the failure of Multnomah county to name the sens tor was laid by msny st Mnlarkey's door. He refused to tske the orders of the bosses, with the result that the dele gation divided and ita strength wss dis sipated. It haa, been customary to elect the president of the senate from the hold over senators, snd Maiarkey will doubt less meet with some opposition on the ground thst he Is a new member. He Is. however, an aggressive competitor for any office which he seeks and his ability was demonstrated In the lower house. FALLING SNAG KILLS A. SAGINAW WOODSMAN . Eugene, Or., Aug. I. Lafe F.

A dispatch from Rom today tells of the receipt there of news of the sink ing of the Japanese cruiser Kasuga. No confirmation has been received here, but it. is believed entirely within the realm of possibility that the report may be well founded. The operations in and around Port Arthur are strewn with danger, due not only to floating mines planted by the Japaneae, but by tn ex tensive defensive work .of th Russian, Ths Kasuga la an armored crulaer -of f .700 tons and lias a registered spe4 of 10 knots.
