afternoon, . the ' police ' believing ' -that
they have secured suf fictnt ' evidence
C to warrant their holding bin to the olr
, cult court for the crime.
Chief of Police Gritsmacher and Cap
. tain of petectlves Baty announced to
day that they were positive k tn their
v own minds that Martin la -the guilty
man, and that he bad bo accomplice In
, the murder. y ' y v' ,
In - the meantime, , however, many
torle are eomlng up from . reputable
people, some tending to confirm the po
lio . vl,W fhA mom ntj a,Kam m
how that it Is entirely erroneous. One
of the most important of . these same
to light this morning and Is being in
vestigated by ihe detective department.
It Is to the effect that a tall and short
man, as suspected in the first place,
committed the crime; that these men
are still In the city, where one of them
Is working at his trade, and that since
Saturday they have had considerable
money and jewelry, and have been dis
posing of the latter by holding lotteries
In one f the suburbs.
Detectives Shadow Fair. -Although
the names of the men con---.
earned in this .clew art. withheld for
obvious reasons, they have been given

o ion ponce ana are eemg snaoowea.
One of the men is smrdoved in a clear
jacrory in im city.
: It is said that of these two' men, one,
tha tall one. AlA not work at all on the
day of the murder. The other qnlt
worg, eariy m the arternoon. Tney rre
both known to be without money ' on
Friday. The next day they appeared
with plenty of money and this week
have worn various articles of Jewelry,
such as watches, chains and diamond
pins. One of the men hss exhibited a
revolver this week, saying he drew It
In a lottery at the O. I. C wholesale
liquor house last Saturday. The liquor
people have not been giving revolvers
as prises.
The other man was seen to remove a
mask, knife and some jewelry from his
rocket. Ha explained that he had been
eaohlng someone how to act, and had
used the mask for that purpose. Both
. men are said to have bragged during the
past week that they have all the money
they need, and intended quitting work.
They are known to have peen well ac
quainted with Wolff, on of them par
ticularly having at various times bor
rowed considerable money from the
mnrHAril nawnhvAlr,
- - - Kaa With Bloody Coat.
Another clue that has been given to
the police was furnished by Ole Olson,
an employe of the Associated press. On
Friday night Olson claims to have seen
a auspicious looKinar man in ina union
depot yards, his clothing torn and blood
on his coat and with his face badly
scratched. The courtway into which the
bloody shirt said tu be Martin's was
thrown. Is near the union depot and
on the wav of anyone Walking from the
buslneas section Of the oity to the rail
.. road yards. '
Martin himself has said that he be
lieved there were three men connected
with the murder. "I have thought all,
the time that eii man couldn't have
done that Job," he told a reporter. "My
theory la that at least two men were In
side doing up Wolff while a third stood
guard on the walk. But I Just gather
that from what I learned of tha crime
before I was suspected of it."
Martin's Strange Discussion.
If Martin is the murderer of Wolff his
cool discussion of how the crime may
have been committed is almost without
rarallel a murderer theorising on how
he man he killed might ahva been dons
away with by some one else!.
Martin IsnVt as well today as 'he wan
fcyeeterday and Chief Orltsmaoher has
decided that the newspaper reporters can
not see him any more. "All the news
papers do is to put the police depart
ment In a ridiculous light" said the
chief angrily thia morning. ''They quote
Martin and give his side of the case,
while they just make fun of all we do.
You can't see him any more."
It was believed by some of the at-,
tendants at tha jail this morning that
Martin was going insane. The strain
of his confinement has told Upon him se
verely and he has been unable to eat
anything. Martin beased for a doctor
this morning, but refused to discloss
anything about his alleged crime to the
waiting detectives. City Physician
Rlegler has been notified to attend him
and will visit the- prisoner, this after
noon. Trying for Mora Svideno.
The police are still working almost
exclusively on the theory that Martin
Is the only one concerned In Wolff's
murder and three detectives are bend
ing all their efforts toward securing ad
ditional evidence. In this they have
been only partially successful. They
have been unable to prove anything
about the coat found on Montgomery
street. The evidence that he borrowed
a revolver of Mrs. Grueb is not re
garded -as being especially Important
and there are some other flaws that the
police are trying to patch up. -
The main thing Is to get some one to
Identify Martin positively as having
been in Wolffs shop on the afternoon
of the murder or who saw him later in
the ewring. They ars working on one
clew in this iMreetlor now and hope to
fcavr It run down by right.
An Interesting sidelight on the case
was furnished this morning when an
omoloye of the county declared that he
had seen one of the detectives leaving
Wolffs shop lat Friday night with a
coat, over mil arm and a rifle, tagged
wisjit a pawn tag. nt suspected tnat
th I I rifle m'ght have some connection
wnii mat n una inin vacant 101 on
.Morttgoniery street- .

good as a stipulation. Re praised th
unflinching courage and high ideals of
the lat attorney.- ...,.
Judare Webster referred to earlier
days in southern Oregon, when he and
Cogswell took long stag rides to
gether, and - to th time when th
speaker defeated Coaswell for election
as circuit judge. Uprightness and abil
ity, wun , a aisiiK ror chicanery ami
falsehood, were referred to. as charac
teristic traits of tha deceased.
' O. W. Stapleton, with whom Cogswell
held office-room for years, spoks feel
ingly of his relations with tha late sen
ator, and related several Incidents
showing th man's devotion to duty and
conscientious work. He said Cogswell
was the bestfriend he had in the city
of Portland. '
Judge B. C. Bronaugh spoke for the
bench. He said that while he had not
known the deceased so Intimately a
others who had spoken, he esteemed him
highly and always felt it a pleasure to
meet him. Cogswell was a man of high
principle, a goad lawy painstaking, and
his life was of th kind that helps th
world forward.

CAKE'S BROTHER IS
. BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Bourne Adherents Insist That IT. j Cako Get Behind
"Their Prograrorand the Fultonites Are Just as
' Ready to Tomahawk , Candidate. ' .
W. M. Cake, chairman of th Republi
can stat central oommlttee and man
agar of hi brother's senatorial cam
paign, la up against it bard In th or
ganlsatton fight over th stat conven
tion which meets May 14.
- The ultimatum has been passed by
! the Bourne forces under; the direction
oi jonn j. xoung and. Thomas Mc
Cusker that Chairman Cake must "come
through" with the organisation of the
state convention. In order to secure
this beyond a doubt it is now planned,'
aocordlng to the story current, gor Cake
to call the convention to order as chair
man of th state central committee.
Having called th convention to-order
Mr. Cake, according to the program. Is
to SDDOint tne temtorarv onairman. woo
is to be a sure follower of 'the Bourn
flar. In makinr this annolntment Mr,
Cake Is expected to explain that he is
doing so by the request of a large
number of the delegates.
Boars Kan Hopeful.
With th temporary chairman picked
from the Bourne camp, th Bourn peo
ple hope to be able to turn defeat Into
victory. The temporary chairman will
have the appointment of the committee
on credentials and on resolutions.
These appointees would of course be
strong Bourne men. The credential
committee could then easily, with the
aid of the resolution committee, work
for the elimination of all proxies,
which would. It is calculated, give the
convention into th hands of th
Bourne men.
A great fight li to be made on tha
proxy question by th -Bourn men.
According to the calculation of th
Taft men the Fulton-Taft forces have
some 22 counties In the state while
more than five are mixed. Lincoln
alone Is conceded to Bourn without
question and that county has but three
delegates. For this reason the Bourne
faction want to shut out th proxies.
AT GLAY STREET
Residents of Southern Part
of City Are Signing. a
Monster Petition.
Now the south side wants a high
bridge acres the river, and a petition
Is being circulated asking permission
from the council toxplac the matter
before the voters at the June, election.
?h contemplated site of the bridge is
rom the east line of Front stree at
Clay street, spanning the river and
touching on the east side at Mill and
East Second streets. Several hundred
namea have already been placed on the
petition, and !t is probable that the re-
?ulred number will be secured In time
or the council to take action on the
matter at its next meeting.
Those behind the movement say that
it haa the sanction of the east side
push clubs and the best citizens In the
city. They point out that if the bridge
Is constructed at the points named In
their petition a sufficient height can
be obtained from the natural lay of the
land to guarantee that tne nignest
riaraed vessels entering the port can
pass oeneatn tne structure.
The petitioners also state that If the
new hrMs-e In erected the D resent Madi
son Street bridge, which is described In
tbe petition as being dangerous, can be
rftinnvftd
City Auditor Barbur completed check
ing up the names on the petition for
the high bridge to he nuiit across tne
river north of the steel bridge, and it
will be handed to the council Wednes
day. There were 3.7J9 names on the
petition, but after checking th names
with the election rolls in the county
clerk's office only 3,221 were found to
be qualified registered voters, more
than tne required number, which Is 15
per cent of the total votes registered at
the last election.
GUILTY OF ASSAULT
UPON HIS UNCLE
In 45 minutes the jury In th case of
John Donahue yesterday afternoon
found him guilty oh the charge of as
sault with a deadly weapon upon his
unci, ' Edmund .Sweeny." By so doing
the'lulry rejected the insanity plea made
oy his attorneys aua accepiea in ineary
that - Donahue s peculiar talk since his
arrst Is only sham.
. When he was arrested Donahue said
he was a god. Later he denied that
he shot his uncle, and ever sine he has
asserted that the man he shot was
named Casey. He said he shot Casey
because Casey was condemned to pur
gatory, and his duty as a god was to
send him there. Sweeny was shot
three times without warning or-provocation.
Th state contended- that Don
ahue wanted to kill his uncle because
the latter refused to lend him -money
to build a house.
After the effort to secure a lunacy
commission ror uonanue was denied, his
attorneys sought to have him acquitted
on tne grouna oi insanity, ne was
flaced on the stand, but evidently the
mpression the Jury gained was that he
was sane, despite ms incoherent and
absurd answers.

are sure to eleclt outbursts of applause.
fearing i that the out of town dele
gates will turn their certificates
over to Fulton men la Portland. 1
From all Indications the Fulton lead
er and th Mulkey-Beach forces have
joined band against the common foe.
This morning B. C. Beach, who is th
keeper of the Mulkey headquarters,
spent most of his time in th Fulton
headquarters discussing the outlook
and predicting that Bourne was out of
th running but that Fulton would head
th delegation with instructions for the
uregon memoers to vote ror rait.
It la apparent that fa Fulton and
tha Mulkey forces have joined hands
against Bourn and his ambition. They
will work for an Instructed delegation.
Senator Fulton's f Hands contend that
their champion will be sent to Chicago
at the head of their delegation. They
say that Senator Bourne may be al
lowed to go, but that he will have to
go under the instructions of th con
vention, or not at all.
' f , T ' JTnltonites Strong;.
From th outside It appears, there
fore, that th Fulton men have the
whin hand and will control the conven
tion. If thia happens, Oregon will send
Taft delegation.
AU of thia contention puts a very
bad tangle in - the senatorial question.
Fulton men on the - on hand, and
Bourn men on th other, are already
out -with their kliivea for the scalp of
H. M. Cake. Quit a large number of
Fulton men will not vote for Cake, no
matter which- way th convention goes.
Word ha been passed from the Bourne
camp that unless Cake geta square be
hind th Bourne program he will be
hacked and crippled In June. If he
does heed -Bourne, then the Fulton men
will bare their blades. Either way
Cake 'Is doomed to be cut Since It Is
seemingly impossioie ror mm to d-
liver th convention to the Bourne peo
ple. It would seem certain that the
uourne Knives will Dm busily at work
by this time next week.

J. W. Jaeger of JVilsonville
Missing Since Last Night ,

(SpseUl Olspsteh to Th Journal.)
"Wllsonvllle, On, May i.J. W. Jaeger.
70 years old, a paralytlo and harm
lessly demented, eluded watchers last
night and at o'clock left his hous
and wandered away from hia home nar
this place. The community ha resolved
Itself Into a great searching party, but
so far without avail, though tha coun
try within a radius of a mile and a
nan irora jaegers borne has been
worked over systematically.
Jaeger recently suffered a second
paralytlo stroke and has since been al
most helpless, hence his disappearance
seems most mysterious. There la evi
dence that he even climbed over a fenc
in leaving the premises.
The condition of the unfortunate old
man is due to worry and grief for the
loss of a son who died last fall. His
home is near that of another son who
has looked after him since h has been
stricken.
The Jaeger house is about half a
mile from the Willamette river. It Is
the belief of many that Jaeger has
found his death In th river.

KISII REVOLT WAS
STARTED BY WITCH
(United Press Leased Wire.)
London, May 9.-A recent revolt of
the Klsil people, In the East African
protectorate, was due to th Strange
Influence of a witch woman who incited
the natives to rise against the British
and attempt to assaaalnata the British
resident, Northcote.
According to detsils of th movement,
the witch compounded medicine which
was to prove efficacious against Kuro
pean weapons. To her influence is at
tributed the fact that the enemy seemed
but little impressed by Maxim fire.
Northcote was stabbed with a spear
while riding and had a narrow escape
from death. A field force was sent im
mediately to punish the Kisit elans,
who were implicated in this revolt.
The witch woman eventually fled for
protection to Ndube's people, and1 this
clan waa visited and overpowered.
This brief and successful expedition
will open up a portion of th protecto
rate remaraaoie ror tn density of Its
population and the richness of its soil.

Chicago, May 9. Barriers which west
ern railroads carefully erected against,
reduced passenger rates for conventions
and for state fairs have been broken

tne railroad defenses by inducing one
line to agree to make a rate of one and
one half cents per mile for the annual
fathering of that order, to be held in

Before independent action can be
taken, however, according to the rules
of the association. It is necessary to
