NEW DETAILS OF TRAGEDY Officials Think Hose Struck Doyle Woman Blow Rendering Her Unconscious, Then Cut Her Throat With a Razor Madge Nelson. Alias Nellie Doyle. I'M Henry lime, who foully murdered his mistress. Madge Doyle, tn n room at the Winchester house yesterday n.orn Ing. first render his victim unconscious by a terrible blow on the bead with some blunt Instrument and then calmly pro ceed to decapitate her with a rasorT Hose In his confession to District At torney Manning yesterday made no mention of this feature, and when in terviewed this morning la the county Jail emphatically denies It Is so. but the autopsy surgeons discovered laat night that the unfortunate woman had a linear fracture of the frontal bone di rectly over the left eye. wbleh, although not sufficient to produce death, unques tionably caused unconsciousness. In the, face of . Hose's full confession covering - all the circumstances leading up to the shocking crime and the de tails of the murder It does not seem reasonable to suppose that hs would endeavor to conceal a minor detail, yet the autopsy shows conclusively that there Is a fracture of the skull sus tained prior to the time of death. The fracture1 is directly under the tnctsei wound ever the eye. is abouj an Inch in length and sufficiently wide to admit the point of a scalpel. Deputy Coroner Ptnley in discussing the matter this morning gave it as hU opinion that the woman had boen first struck with some Instrument and then the murderer brought the reeor into play.

The purchase price waa $10,000, ahd it affords one of the most striking Illustrations of the great advance Portland Heights prop erty has made within the past few yeara It is reported that Dr. Hlckey purchased this half block about four yeara ago for something less than I -'.oi)0.

According to the surgeon s blow Of sufficient force to have broken Uie skull would in the majority of cases have caused loss of consciousness." If this is true, Hose's crime Is, If possible, more monstrous than appears on the surface. On the floor at the head of the bed on which the body lay waa found an empty beer bottle and this may have been the first weapon used. Whether Hose intention ally omitted all reference to this In an endeavor to mitigate his crime or forgot It in the fiendish rage which hs says possessed him when doing the butchery may be revealed at the trial. The calmness which Hose displayed when surrendering himself at police headquarters ahd during his confession, deserted him yesterday afternoon and while being taken te the- county Jail he shook' like an aspen. His extreme nervousness was noticeable during the night and be often covered hie efes with his hands, perhaps In a futile en deavor to shut out the spectre of the woman 'he slew. . It has been learned that on October I, the woman called at the county Jail to visit her husband. James Doyle, who Is now serving a tentence on the rock pile Hole and another man were no ticed at the time standing across the street at the plasa block until her visit waa ended.

Pro vincial Covernors. U-ersal Special SerrKe.l Manila, Oct. 20. A radical change In ths system of provincial government Is Imminent. If the Philippine commis sion approves the recommendation of the assembly of provincial governors now In session at Manila. Ths recommen dation provldsa that another member of the provincial board shall be sleeted instead of appointed. Vt present the treasurer and school supsrlntendsnt are nppolnted. As they must be Americans, they constitute s majority of the pro vincial hoards. The provincial governors want a mem ber elected to replace the school su perintendent, thus giving ths Filipinos a majority on all the hoards. If Governor-General Smith and the cowimla alcnera approve the recommendation It will practically give the provinces com plete autonomy. The matter will prob ably be referred to Washington. The governors also unanimously con demn the road law, which requires that work be done on the public roads In Ilea of taxes. All fear that the lew will be made oppressive, the same as the Spanish Jaw. and that It will be badly administered, being Is. the hands of the municipal presidents. The provincial governors advise the appointment of A. W. Ferguson aa a member of the Philippine commission and refuse to suggest a Filipino for the Piece.

PORTLAND, SATURDAY DARK CLOUD CAME BEFORE TYPHOON Officers of rite Oriental Liner Nicomedia Saw Warning of ' Storm in the Sky. BIG LINER ESCAPED DESTRUCTIVE STORM Arrived in Portland Harbor Last1 Night From Hongkong vis Yoko hama With Large and Valuable Shipment of Raw Silk. Officers of ths Portland-Asiatic Steamship company's steamer Nloome dla says that the residents of Hong kong were warned of the approach of the terrific typhoon that devastated a large portion of the city and. did so much damage to life and shipping In the harbor on September 18, but evi dently they paid no attention to the warning inasmuch ss no precautionary steps were tsken. according to the press dispatches sent out after the dis aster. . The Nicomedia left Hongkong two daya before the typhoon and arrived here last night. She escaped the wind, but was caught in the mountain higb swells rolled up by the blow. The liner waa north of Formosa at the time and the fact that the swells cams from the south made It plain to those on board that an awful storm had raged some where behind her. "A typhoon cloud waa banging over the sea when we left Hongkong at daylight on September 16, and the at mosphere was very depressing," aaid one of the officers this morning In ro uting the Incidents ef the voyage. "We knew a typhoon was approaching and I should think the people of Hongkong would have aeen It in the sky, but evi dently they paid no beed to toe warn ing given by nature. When off the coaat of Formosa heavy swells began to roll upon ua from the south snd we then became satisfied that the old rule of a typhoon sending a warning note ahead can always be relied upon. "According to advices received at Moji, Japan, where we put In about a day later, we learned tbat the typhoon had killed about (,000 people and de stroyed much property. The harbor of Hongkong was orowded with vessels when we left so no doubt the press reports sent out were not exaggerated." The Nicomedia brought a large ship ment of raw silk, the estimated value ef the material being about $200,000. while the cargo as a whole Is bulky It la light and the steamer therefore came across pretty well out of the water. The run from Yokohama to the Columbia river waa stormy and rough hnd the bar broke violently when the liner crossed In yesterday morning. No, time waa loat off the bar, however. On her outward trip the Nloomedla will carry nearly a full cargo of flour. Ths Nicomedia Is not Included among the vessels boycotted by the longshore men and two ganga went to work die charging the Inward cargo thla morn ing. She Is at Montgomery dock No. 2. OLD TRADERS COMING American Ships O serge Curtis and Bollpss Chartered fer lumber. . The American ships George Curtis and Eclipse are bowling along to ward the Columbia river from Honolulu under charter to the Thomas-Ritohls Lumber company, to load lumber at thla port for San Francisco The square-riggers are two old-timers, built in the good old Says in Maine, and have been In ths Island trade on the Pacific for many yeara The ships sailed sev eral daya ago and are expected to ahbw up off the river almoat any day. The charter of these two wind-jammers furnishes a striking Illustration of the big demand for lumber droghers on the coaat, and the fact that they are being paid the top freight furnishes an Illustration of the fact that lumber shippers are badly handicapped by the lack of transportation faculties. Both of the vessels are said to be In rood condition, but they era not as bandy for ths lumber traffic as the fore-and-aft rigged schooners and would have stood no show for coastwise business had there not been a big cry for car riers from all parts of the coaat. Lumber freights from the Columbia river to Ban Francisco are quoted at $7.26 and $7.60 per thousand feet, an Increase of approximately TS per cent aa compared with quotations a couple of years ago. The barksntins Alpha la also reported under charter to load here for Cali fornia. ' STOWAWAY8 IN JAIL 1 Captain Bberhardt of the eerman Steams Sen la uardlsn ' Four Japanese stowaways were dis covered on ths German steamer Eva when she wes about midway between MoJI, Japan, and thla port, and last night Captain Eberhardt had them lodged In the county Jail for aafe keep ing until ths steamer la ready to de part. It would not have been safe to keep them on board the vessel, because they are willing to take desperate chances to get away, end eaoh missing Japanese would eoet the skipper from $600 to $1,000. The names of the stowaways are Horlma Bodja. Takabatakt Slngert, Mat sul Kelt snd BesscM Jonodjo. They sneaked on board while the Eva was being coaled by Japaaeee women and, succeeding in concealing themselves un til the steamer waa many days out to aea, hunger finally drove them from cover end It Is ssld they were a sorry looking lot when they learned that their attempt to steal Into the stats would likely be frusrated. The men were closely watched while the steamer was making ths run up ths river, since records Qf the past bear evidence that the Japanese do not heal- In Dr Graves' Tooth Powder there are combined the elements of safety and pleasure in kissing your wife or sweetheart deli cious after taste.

Heating Engineers 47 First St., Portland, Or. tate to Jump overboard and ewlm for shore when the opportunity presents Itself. LEADS ON THE COAST Statistics compiled by the department of commerce and labor ahow that Port land shipped more - wheat during the month of September than any other port on the Pacific coast, the three Puget sound ports, with their combined ship ments, being second, snd San Francisco third. The sound ports led with flour shipments and San Francisco exported J338.878 worth of barley. Following are .the wheat shipments for ths month from the Pacific coaat: Portland. 4t,l$6 bushels, valued at $810,041; Puget sound ports, 124.887 bushels, valued at $98,964; San Fran clsco, 62.406 bushels, valued at $37,721 Thus It will be seen that Portland ex ported more wheat during the month than all other Paolflc coast ports com bined. Ths flour shipments were ae follows: Puget aound ports, 247,822 barrels, valued at $798,188; Portland. 64.764 bar rels, valued at $219,066; San Francisco. 41,170 barrels, valued at $169,970 Thla brings ths total value of flour shipments from the coast to $1,188,214 for the month. NEARLY FROZE TO DEATH sailors ef the Ship 8-leaaJ.voa Suffered Severely Off Oape Kara. Several of the crew of the British ship Glenalvon nearly f rote to .death when off Cape Horn. The ship, which arrived yesterday morning at Astoria, waa three weeks trying to round the promontory and the weather was bltlna cold ail the : time. With the exception of four or Lflve ths entire crew waa dissbled by frost bites, snd Captain King was ae ! rioualy contemplating abandoning the attempt to run by ths cspe and ateer by way 'of Australia when the weather moderated. Ths Glenalvon will be in the harbor early next week to dlacharge a cargo of cement and general freight from New caatle-on-Tyne. She waa 1(0 days mak ing the trip from England to the mouth of the Columbia river. Excepting for the cold weather off the horn, the trip was uneventful. ALONG THE WATERFRONT The windjammers In the harbor wore spreading their white wings to dry today, this being the first real clear day since moat of the fleet arrived, and to the average landlubber It appeared ea if there was a race about to be atarted. Three sailing vessels and the steamer Eva occupy berths In ths stream. The oriental liner Nicomedia was de layed reaching ths harbor laat night by a fog. She reached her dock about an hour later than expected. The French bark Sully, whloh arrived at Astoria yesterday from Hongkong via Victoria. British Columbia was fined $$00 for failure to bring clearance papera and a proper bill of health. The ahlpa Europe and Bougainville ire on the way up the river today. They will reach the harbor thla afternoon. The steam schooner Northland, Cap tain Jamleson, cleared for San Fran cisco yesterday with a cargo of $50. 000 feet of lumber. She sailed last night. Ths British steamer Wynerle will probably finish loading lumber at the Victoria dolphins this afternoon. Colonel S. W. Roeseter and I). B. Og dsn. United States engineers.
