prominently. ,
First the murder was committed In
the Keswick house. The evidence Is
conclusive on that point The bed-clothing
in -that house waa, used to wrap tha
corpse and it was that bed clothing
that was found about the body.

Third, at the Keswick apartments
Burilson was known as Mrs. coving-

Fourth, Burilson's clothing, now posi
tively identified, was found in the trunk
with the body of the murdered woman.
Fifth, Burilson's connection with the

A thorough canvas of the transfer

that Covington hired a rig and carried

Motive Zs Vila.
The motive found at the house Is vile
beyond comprehension. Unmistakable
evidence points to the fact that Coving

less than seven months, to accept the
advances of his friend, Burilson.
The girt was the daughter of Mr. and

New York, Sept. 24. Far-reaching re
sults with a most Important bearing
on the future of many prominent Dem
ocratic leaders In Greater New York
depend upon today's primaries. In
many districts it is a straight fight
between Mayor McClellan and Charles
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. It
Is the first time that the leader of the
lammanv organization has interfered
openly in the district fights, but in the
present case Murpny has not attempted
to conceal the fact that he is giving
un Huppt'ii hi me primaries to those
men who nave Deen brought forward
against the district leaders who are
irienaiy to Mayor McClellan.
Leader Murphy, on the other hand.
Is believed to have the fight of his
lire on his hands In order to retain
coitrol of the Tammany organization.
A gum-shoe campaign for control of the
organization has been in progress for a
long time past, and so skillfully was
It managed that few suspected that it
had assumed such proportions as to
convince Murphv that he waa. con
fronted with a very different nronotii-
tlon from the McClellan campaign of
a year ago. The f ight has - been con
ducted with a studied avoidance of pub
licity, and with skill which convinced
Murphy that veterans were engineering
the plans.
The three principal leaders in the
McClellan fight against Murphy are
Maurice Featherson, a veteran district
leader. Senator Patrick H. McCarron
of Brooklyn, and City Chamberlain
James J. Martin, who has long been
regarded as suitable timber - for the
leadership of Tammany Hall. The Mc
Clellan forces believe they have a good
fighting chance to win over enough i
districts to overthrow Murphy. Whether
or noi uiib proves u oe me case me
fight they are making Insures one of
the hottest primary contests in recent
years. .

source, broke out at 6:30 o'clock this
morning in tha engine room of the
steamer La Conner, tied at the Albers
Brothers' Milling company's dock, and
wjtnin a lew hours the craft was re
duced to a charred wreck. Aboard th
La Conner were 110 tons of hav and Kc
barrels of oil for funl, and these made
perfect food for the flames.
The fire alarm- was sounded on the
boat's whistle by Caotaln Dennv. who
also made an attempt to save some of
nts personal belongings, but he onlv re
covered the time book.
To save the dock from the flame the
vessel was cut adrift and started down
the channel towards the Northern Pa
cific bridge with the tide.
When the fire wau discovered. Rich
Henrlckson, the cook, was in the aallev.
and was the only person on the vessel

covered his position he climbed down to
tne stern or the boat, which had not vet
been reached by the flames. After much
difficulty, a boat was found and he was
rescued from the burning ship.
Drifting safely past the schooner
WInslow, which was' anchored in tne
channel, she crossed to the other side.

An errort was made to scuttle the

men to desist from the attempt.

PRESIDENT HOPES TO
i BAR CORRESPONDENTS
Stranded by the suspension of the
Oregon Trust & Savings bank, the 11-
story $300,000 Board Of Trade building
at Oak and Fourth streets will be com
pleted under an arrangement made to
day between the receiver and Dr. E. H.
Parker, owner of the ground, and Gay
Lombard, associated with him in the
construction plan. The depositors of
the bank have an equity of $96,000 in
the property, and they will have a year
In which to redeem the building by
any action that the court may confirm.
Construction work will be commenced
immediately by Dr. Parker and Mr.
Lombard, where the contractor left off
some weeks ago. The building is aaid
to be one of the finest construction
plans of any In the city, and tha eon
tract on. which the ground is to be ac
quired is ravorabia to tne owners or
the building.
Big- roflt Assured.
Unlike the usual ground lease taken
by office building constructors thus far
In Portland, the ground In this
instance is purchased by the building
company, on installments of $1,125 per
month. The building company had al
ready arranged to rent the basement and
ground floor alone at $1,700 per month,
leaving the entire 10 upper stories to be
used in taking care of the fixed charges,
maintenance and dividends. ,
It is estimated that the cross revenue
from rentals on the same Basis charged
y the Wella-Fargo building, would be
96,000 per . annum, while all fixed
harges and expenses of o Deration are
but $36,000. This estimate Is based on
or.e fourth of the rooms being vacant.
There are 270 offices In the building as
pianneu, ana n is estimated toil at
ease three fourths will always be
teadlly occupied.
rnis contract is tne best ornce build
ing contract in the city of Portland,"
said W. H. Moore today, discussing the
asset held by the bank In the Board of

has a contract with Dr. Parker, owner
of the ground, by which It pays him
$1,125 per annum for 30 years and then
becomes owner of the ground as well as
tne ouuding op it.
Insurance Company Interested.
The original plan of Mr. Moore was
to have made the building an asset
the savings depositors. The money
construct It was to have been furnished
by the Prudential Life Insurance com
pany, and after all was completed the
bank was to take it over. Preliminary
to the completion of arrangements for
the prudential loan, the bank supplied
the money necessary to carry on con
struction, and had Invested $96,000 in
the structure when the suspension oc
curred. Final papers had been signed
with the Prudential and the sum of
$300,000 was to have arrived here a few
days before the suspension occurred.
The money was expected dally until
the bank closed. News of the failure
reached New York before the package
was dispatched and the insurance com
pany then withdrew the loan, leaving
the building less than half finished and
the bank's 196,000 still remains In it
A number of men are already figur
ing on the proposition to redeem the
building for the bank, repay the $96,000
of depositors' money Invested and take
over the entire property.

San Franotsco, Sept. 24. Th

was full of startling and sensational
Incidents from the beginning of the)
proceedings till the close of , tha
session, with the defense scoring
victory over the prosecution.
Thomas F. Lonergan, ex-super

of the star witnesses, fell down mis

Early in the examination of the)
witness it developed that Lonergan
had been trapped Into giving a
signed statement to - attorneys for
th defense several weeks ago. A.
person representing the United
Railroads, although declaring him
self to be a magazine editor, on Sep

secured a signed statement from him
in which Lonergan declared that he.
had never been guilty of receiving
money from the United Railroads,
and that he had voted for the over
head trolley franchise because be
thought it for the best interests of
the city. . ' ..'
This document when produced. r
court caused consternation in tha ranks
of the prosecution. Prosecutor Heney
objected fiercely to the paper belhg
read to the Jury, but was overruled by?
Judge Lawlor.

(Special DlapatcD to The Journal.)
Ban Francisco. Sept. 24. Tha board

it is the Eddy street city Jail, which
was built hv the Kreltng estate at the
Instigation of ex-Police Commissioner

The building, which was built in a hap
