This afternoon Detectives Hellyer and t ' (Washington Boreas of The Journal.) : Washington. D. C Nov. IS. The pro posal submitted last year by J. N. Teal, of Portland, and others from the Pacific coast delegates to the national con gress, for a federal bond: Issue of S $100,000,000, appears to have , found : strong support in the east. This la evl . denced by the statements made last week by members of an influential ' delegation which came here to press the subject to the attention of President -, Roosevelt. Only one western man was 'among the president's callers Senator Newlttnds of Nevada- but the others " were prominent men of the east, which : Is regarded as significant of certain support in this portion of the continent 'for the $100,000,000 bond issue. At ttie session last year, Mr. Teal sfas one of the leaders In the movement to : urge the bond issue on the congress. The convention at that time indorsed .the plan, and it Is apparent that events which have transpired since then have .strengthened tha position of those who .offer the issue as the solution of the : problem of Improvement of domestic .waterways. - SUNDAY LID NAILED DOWN BY TAC0MANS Despite the horrible tale he waa telling and of revolting xeaturea it necessarily contained to the widow of' the dead man, Bteele had the hardihood to tell Mrs. Todd of his love for her. Stifling with the repugnance she felt for the fiend who in one breath could confess to her husband's murder and swenr undying love to his widow, Mrs. Todd listened to the man as he poured forth his tale while teara of repentance streamed down his face. Mrs. Todd heard him through. For two months she had been receiving 'his attentions in the hope of bringing her husband's murderer to justice. Still more, might have been wrung from her dupe but for the attempt made last Sunday night by 8teele to murder Marshal McKenney. As the official fol lowed the murderer to his home after a meeting with Mrs. Todd, Steele be came aware that he was being shad owed and after entering "his home passed out another door to see who had followed him. Sneaking to a comer where McKen ney would have to pass, Steele waited until the officer reached the point and then fired. The bullet went wide of Its mark. McKenney, suspecting Steele, waited, and later saw the man reenter his home. Fearing that further delay might re sult in another murder and having all the nocesuary evidence, tha authorities decided upon Steele's arrest. Three po licemen went to the murderer's home and demanded admittance. They were refused and Steele b lammed the door in their faces. They forced the barricade open and with little more resistance took their man to the city Jail. Steele and Todd were both loggers. Steele lived with the Todds for a time and became madly Infatuated with Mrs. Todd and his love was the incentive for the murder. Although known aa Steele in Hoquinm and the lumber camps where he worked, the murderer's right name is said to be Herbert Norman. King., two young men well known to the police, on charges of vagrancy. Al though not in possession oi any defi nite information the officers Yelleve that the prisoners may have been im plicated in the holdup of tha tamale vendor. ' iob Lucas, a notorious ex-convlct, and Tom Barrett were taken Into custody by Patrolman Stuart this afternoon on vagrancy eharges. The prisoners were locked up In separate cells but the officials refuse to give out -any Infor mation regarding them.

Before he was taken from the cell, where he saw the asylum attaches, Gassier began butting hla head against the bars. Gashes were cut in his head and the blood flowed freely from them, but only scalp wounds were inflicted. Finally persuaded to desist by the Jailer he came from the cell like a shot in a desperate break for freedom. Then it was that the struggle took place in which Gassier showed the strength of a aemon. Not until this morning had the In sane man been violent, and Jailer Beat ty was therefore taken by surprise by his fury. ENTRYMEN GRANTED RELIEF PRAYED FOR (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Pendleton, Or., Nov. 13. The appeal of Congressman Kills in the interest of Oregon land en try men has been answered favorably by Secretary of the Interior Garfield, whose reply la as follows: "Oregon land offices have been in structed to receive and suspend proofs in cases where applicants cannot with draw funds from banks to make pay ments." This Is welcome newa to eastern Ore gon, where large numbers of entry men are ready to make proof. In many cases entrymen would lose their lands on account of the money situation, without this relaxation of the rules. this fn av about "The management oi me oi. uuuis clearing-house has decided to put into force the plan of bank examination that has worked ao admirably in Chicago. The management committee, with repre sentatives of 11 banks present, voted unanimously In favor of establishing a bureau for the examination of every bank and trust company enjoying tlhs privileges of the St. Louis Clearing House association. Examinations will be made at regular intervals at the direction of the management committee as in Chicago, and the refusal to sub mit to examination will deprive the bank of clearing-house connections. A chief examiner will be appointed as aoon as tha riant man can be secured. "The plan to be started In St. Louis has been in operation in Chicago for nearly two years, W. T. Fenton being the originator of the idea The clear ing-house examiner makes examinations at the direction of the clearing-house committee, and his reports are said to be more thorough and of more value than those of either the state or na tional bank examiners. The plan has operated greatly to the benefit of the Chicago banks. It has been the means of correcting some abuses, has given the different banks more confidence in one another and has been the means of bringing to the city considerable business that formerly Went elsewhere." John L. Hartman, manager of the Portland Clearing-House association, says that while the plan works admir ably In the larger cities, it is-not usually round userui .in tne smaller places, "In a city the size of Portland every one knows about how much a man is worth." said Mr. Hartman. "We know pretty well what the banks hold in the way of securities. We made an exami nation a few days ago anrf found out exactly how they stand. Personally I scarcely think such an innovation neces sary in Portland." That the climax has been reached. and that railroads In this part of thr country, and more particularly In tha case of the O. R. & N.. will not reduce the forces from now on,, and that all work In hand will be continued.; Is the belief of W. V. 8, Thorne, of New York, director of purchases of the O. R. I A N who is now staying at the Hotel Portland. Mr. Thorne makes annual tours over the lines which come under his direction. Several months ago a contract waa let by the O. R. & N. for Ui new atvle locomotives, manv of which are to be sent to this part of the country for utts in and out or Portland. Mr. xnorne says that the work on these machines Is being rushed, and that the company will begin delivering them here soon alter the rirst or the year. "On account of the unsettled condition of tha money market, it waa found neccstsary to reduce the road'a expenses to a certain extent," Mr. Thome said this morning, "but I think that all work now going on will be continued. "There are several branches under course of construction, and from what knowledge I have of the affalra of the company all this work is to be com pleted. However, I do not think that the O. R. A N. will buy any additional land or begin any new contemplated 1m- rrovements during the next month or wo." Mr. Thorne is of the opinion that tho trafflo department of the road will be continued about as It Is now, and does not believe that there will be any seri ous results, either to the company, or to the country, from the rinanciai strin gency through which the country Is now passing. He will remain here sev eral days. Giiiiicrai SII1GII TtllBHT HAVE LIVED But Refused Amputation, Doetor Says Examina tion of Men Accused. (Special Dlapatck to Tht Journal.) Oregon City, Nov. 13. The examina tion of William. J. M. and John Dlck erson, John Riley, Walter St. Clair, Ver non Hawea and Earl Rausler, charged with the murder of the Hindu, Bhimr wan Singh, on the night of October 30 at sandy, opened before Judge Dlmick at 10:30 a m. District Attorney Hedges and Assistant District Attorney Eby appeared' for.the state, and George C. Brownell and F. T. Griffiths for the defense. ' Two Hindus, and companions of Singh, testified they were in the shack that night when several shots were fired. Bhlngwan Singh was shot in the tnign. Dr. C. C. McCormlck of Portland tes tified that he attended Singh in the Good Samaritan hospital. His thigh was rractured Dy a Duuet. He advised amputation, but the Hindu would not consent and died a few days later. Am putation might have saved his life. O. D. Eby testified that as assistant district attorney ne saw ail tne defend ants but Hawes at Kelso. OctobeV 21. He spoke to William Dlckeraon, who told him they were at Sandy and de cided to give tne Hindus a roundup. They got guns and went on the hill and fired several shots. He waa satisfied that the bullet from his gun did the fatal work. St. Clair told the same story. So did all but Hawes, who gave nimsen up later, ine state tnen closed. The defense is now examining witnesses. J. II. Mil Our - bank ia temporarily closed. but we are open. It. has come to my ears that we are heavy creditors of the bank, the Merchants' National. The fact Is, bad every one dug up for their banks as much as J. M. Ache son. did for his there would have been no holidays. October 14 we paid our bank f 40,000. We only owe them about $15,000 now, near ly all of which is not due until Jan uary 1. So let that lie be nailed. The Merchants' National is sound with securities, in my judgment. My sister has her money In there and never even tried to pull it out. I start for the east tomorrow morn ing to arrange matters with our ci editors to pay 100 cents on the dollar. I'll do nothing else. I'll be no party to any 40 or 50-cent settlements .mark that down. Sim ply, we are in the same position as a bank we have the goods, the se curity, etc., and can pay 100 cents, but, like a bank, we must have time. NOW THEN Come pack away the goods. I want my office man to be able, to wire me at Chicago Monday morning that he has on hand $18,000 it's up to the people to get it In here. There are three or four millions hid away in this city; dig up a little of it, each one of you, and come pack away the goods. YOUR PRICE IS VIRTUAL LY OUR PRICE My, but creditors in the east need money. We owe them and want to help them. They think much of this fine big ttore our credit is fine, but they need their money.
