THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING. DECEMBER I,
MURCHISON BOYS
STILL MISSING
Lads Could Not Smoke and
Chaw at Home and 80
Ran Away.
HAVE BEEN GONE FOR
NEARLY TWO MONTHS
Poor Mother Advertises for Her
Sons and Prays for Their
Return.
Willie and Cecil Murchlson. aged IS
ad It respectively, lived with their
mother, Mrs. M. M Barron at McKlnney
treet and the Boulevard, University
Park. Their home la on an eminence
overlooking tit Willamette river.
For the paat four year they nave
lived there watching the big ship go by
and reading tales of the sailor's life.
Cecil.; the younger, always bad dreims of
being a cook on a ahlp, and riding the
eaa forever. Hla brother read "Nick
Carter" stories and gaaed paat the river
to the great pine woods beyond.
They ran away from home two months
ago. and all efforts to locate them by a
distracted mother have been unavail
ing. They had II between they when
they left. Their small savings, their
clothing, except what they wore, and all
else waa left behind. They would go
Into the world alone, they said, and
grapple with fortune. Police head
quarter waa notified the day following
their departure and since that time of
ficers and detectives have searched con
stantly for the missings lad. -
The youngsters gave no reason for
their going, except that they wanted to
find a job. Cecil, the younger, wanted
to smoke cigarettes, but was prohibited
by bis mother.
"Billy Barlow smokes." he said, "and
the boy down at the mill chews, and
when I get to be a big man I'll smoke
and chew all I please And if I run
away nobodyll ever catch me, for I'll
change my name like they do in the
books."
"They were good boys," the mother
said today, "and It was only because
they thought they could do better that
they ran away. I have tried so hard to
find them. We traced them to Van
couver, where they made inquiries about
the boats, but since then they have dis
appeared completely. I fear they have
gone to a logging oamp or on a ship.
I have advertised for them and have
sought police assistance, but not one
word have I heard."
The boys are described as tall for
their years and slender. The younger
lad has curly dark hair.
WERLEIN SHOWS HE IS
YET RECALCITRANT
City Treasurer J. E. Werleln and the
civil service commission are still at- log
gerheads over the appointment of a
clerk for the treasurer's office. Mayor
Williams, who was appointed arbitrator,
has had no conference with Werleln. and
the difficulty la no nearer a settlement
than It was laat week.
The city treasurer says he will npt
submit to the wishes of the commission,
and it la rumored that unless he com
plies with the requirements of the city
charter the commission will charge him
with a misdemeanor, which is punish
able by fine and Imprisonment.
J. a P. Cope land Is still in the treas
urer's office, and Mr. Werleln stated
this morning that although his tem
porary appointment of SO days will ex
pire December 7, Mr. Copeland will be
found at work at hla deak on the follow
ing morning.
"Not so much depends upon clerical
ability In my offjee," said Mr. Werleln
this morning. "It Is the man in whom
I have confidence. If I an to .be held
eeponslble for the city's money, why
hould not I have a little to say regard
ing the selection of my clerks who have
to handle large sums of money. If they
would make theee clerka directly respon
sible to the city it would be different.
I am held responsible for this office,
and I have to answer for my clerka. I
want a man In my office of my own
choice, and not a man the civil service
gives me. although I hear that Mr.
Jones the applicant whose nm was
certified to me. Is a good man."
THIS POOR DOG MET
A VERY CRUEL FATE
Evidence of a horrible murder was
discovered by Patrolmen Craig and
Crouton, who were detailed this morn
ing by Police Captain Orttsmacher to in
vestigate the report that a "human
body, half covered with dirt In a rough
grave, lay with the waist up bare to the
day." The night was evidently not "In
on the deal."
As John Dlrkson of 880 Rodney ave
nue and Oscar Schweitser, living at 700
Kast Eighteenth, reported, the body had
been partly Interred close to the gravel
pit near Midway, and It Is true that "the
flesh waa off the hands while the ribs
were bare" After giving all the evi
dence gathered of a foul crime the
patrolmen make the following state
ment: "The body 1 tha,l of one large, full
grown gray dog. There Is no doubt
whatever that he was murdered."
SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
FOR SMILING MAN
"A man may smile and smlls and be a
villain Still."
This was the comment of Deputy City
Attorney Fltsgerald in the police court
this morning after Thomas D. Hlghtower
had testified in his own defense on the
rhsrge cf disorderly conduct, preferred
by Patrolman Foster. During the trial,
which brought out a shameful condition
of affairs relative to hla wife, Hlghtower
grinned, evoking comment from Mr.
Fltsgerald.
"The evidence shows plainly that you
brought this girl here from Chicago and
have since acted in a way which leads
to the Impression that yoo wore trying
to get her to lead a disreputable life."

today, but It la understood from private
dispatches that the fighting la conunu
oua. with .01-Meter hill as a base for a
great artillery fire.
The dispatches do not state whether
another assault la being made, hence it
la the belief here that Stoasel has con

cently lsed position In the hope of
making It untenable for the conquerors.

ON MURDER CHARGE
Implicated in the Killing of
Oeorge at Oregon City
Last June.
J. A. Thuber was arrested laat night
by Sergeant Slover on suspicion of mur
dering George Joyce at Oregon City laat
June.
The police were instructed to make the
arreat yesterday by Marshal Burna of
Oregon City. Thuber waa not acquainted
with the reason for hla arreat, by in
struction of the Oregon City official,
who reached Portland- this morning and
waa In close conference with Chief Hunt
and Sergeant Slover for some time.
Joyce waa found dead at the foot of
the back stairs of the Cliff house, an
Oregon City hostelry. Several men have
been taken Into oustody on suspicion
but all have been released for lack of
evidence. It Is rumored that an accom
plice In the commission of the crime,
taken Into custody at Oregon City, -haa
confessed and implicated Thuber. Rob
bery la believed by the offlclala to have
been the motive fur the deed.
Some time ago Thuber went to his
aged mother's bouse, where ahe takes In
washing for living, and because ahe
would not buy him a pair of new shoes,
created a disturbance and waa sent to

BIG CUT IS MADE IN
LIVESTOCK RATES
. In response to urgent requests from
packers in tha sound cities, the Northern
Paclflo railway today put Into effect a
low rate on aheep from Portland. To
Tacoma tha rate Is cut on double deck
car lots from 868 to 840.80. To Seattle,
South Bend. CoSmopolls. Ocosta and
Hoquelm the former rate of 887.28 la cut
to 848.40. The rate la based on 88-foot
cars.
Thla Is one of the most sensational re
ductions made In many years In the
livestock schedule of a Pacific north
west railroad. The result will be the
carrying of large numbers of aheep from
northern and western Oregon to the
packing houaea of Tacoma and Seattle.
The Importance of establishing more
large packing plants In Portland to take
care of Oregon livestock Is made more
manifest by this action of the railway
company.
