Then she went to the kitchen. - The
little, baby lay -on tha floor close to the
body of the grandmother. Ira clothes
were covered with blood end be lay In
a bloody pool whloh had flowed from
the wounds of the older woman. Mrs.
Larson stepped over the body of the
prostrate grandmother, picked the baby
up In her arms and, with little Cecil
clinging close tq her, took the children
to the home of Mrs. Schmid. who lives
In the building adjoining that In which
tha murder was committed. Aa ahe

Mrs. Schmid and Mrs. Larson bathed

tha stove as It fell from the mother's
arms to the floor.
Mrs. McMahon, who Uvea at UTLIn

sent for.v She Is an Italian woman and
apeaks both her native tongue and Eng
lish. The details of the tragedy bad
not then been learned - and It - waa
thought that Cecil, as aoon aa ha re
covered aomewhat from the excitement
which shook hla body, would be able to
tell of the crime. Mrs, McMahon apent
nearly half an hour -questioning the
little fallow, but learned nothing. It
is not until after aha had returned

When the father of the two children
reached horn from hla place of work
be Inquired immediately for tha little
ones, and upon being told where they
were he rushed into lira Schmld'a Bit
ting room where the women were try
ing to quiet the screaming- children.
"Oh. God. my babies, my babies." be
cried as he frantically held them to
but breast "My wlfs, I loved her so."
he sobbed, these are all I have left"
- Than. blinded with tears and dased
with the grief that Overpowered him,
he put the children back in the care
of the women and left the house with
Officer Lytle. A few momenta after
ward be .had collected himself and
during the rest of the morning he
worked .quickly and Intelligently in di
recting the details and giving Infor
mation to the police officers.
Information, oonoernlng Bignanl and
hla wife and the grandmother, Annlna
Vlsmora.. was difficult to obtain from
the many Italian neighbors who live In
that vicinity. Some bad known tha
Blgnanla before they came to this,
country from Italy, but of their per
sonal history they knew but little. In
f sec man, of them, having a apeaklng
acquaintance With the murdered woman
and Bignanl, did not even know their
names.;-
- -hsA jjrroaa Borthern Italy. '.
Bignanl. hla wife and Annlna Vls
mora came from the northern provinces
of Italy. A great many of the other
Italian residents la the vicinity of the
Bignanl home come from southern
Italy. The former belong, therefore, to
the high class, and the Utter to the low.
The difference - lq social position.- aa
recognised between the two claaaea in
their ratlva country, la brought across
the water, with . the result that other
Itallana living in the same house and
In tha aome neighborhood were unable
thle morning to give any Information.
The high and low classes of Italian do I
not mingle with each other, In Italy,
and even in thia country and ln Port--land
their araoeiatlone are confined to

secured of the murderer, the knife

the tragedy enacted within a few feet

REAL ESTATE VALUES ARE
'IdlY III THIS CITY
Vancouver, B. C, Dealer.- Says
Oregon' Metropolis Affords Re
markable Opportunities. '
Charlton Donald, a prominent real es
tate dealer of Vancouver, B. C. 1 ln
Portland atudylng tha real estate altua
tlon and declare.! that price are alto
gether too low for the advantage of th
city. He said that in hi estimation
Portland la a larger city than- Seattle,
and It prospects srs for a great city.
In speaking of what he ha aeen on hla
visit to the Rose City, Mr. Donald said:
"Portland presents an unusual appear
ance of solidity and I ahould say that
It haa a great amount of reserve wealth
that could be used If called upon.- Her
growth has been remarkable and she
will undoubtedly become one of the
largest cities In the United States. Her
geographical position is aplandld and
har growth -depends upon Jer people.
"In -my opinion Portland ia larger
than Seattle, or at leant a large. - The
appearance of the city ia deceiving be
cause of tne narrow streets and small
blocks, also because there are no alley
here. .
"The best thing about real estate con
ditions in Portland is thst many Seattle
men are buying property bare. I have
been told that thia ia true and It ahowa
that Seattle men have aa much faith in
Portland's future as they have In Seat
tle's. - The .prices for, Portland realty
are too low. They are .not in accord
with the excellent advantagea offered by
nublla utilities."
Mr. Donald ha Seen in Portland for
a week and left for Vancouver thia aft
ernoon. o will return to Portland In
a few weeks, when he will probably
make purchase in local property. H
aald that Vancouver la growing very
rapidly and haa doubled in population
in tha past six, years. . v
