Stranger Was Leaning Over
Broker's Counter and
Talking Earnestly This
Was About 5:30 o'clock
on Fateful Night.
Edward H. Martin,' the suspect lri the
Wolff murder case, was in Wolff shop
at about five minutes of on the night
of Friday, 'May v l, acordtng to James
E. West' - : " v
West is the witness that Chief Grit.
OTAcher has..been making hie , chlel
source of mystery thue far In the case.
He is a painter, about 21 . years old,
lives at 181 First street and is regarded
as reliable and trustworthy. His te s--tlmony,
used to support that- of Al W.
Field that Martin was seen standing- in
front of Wolff's plae Of 'business,' at
t:80 Friday afternoon is regarded by the
01ice and prosecution as being extreme
y Important. 4 i
Week beforA last West was working
on an indoors decorating Job at Twenty-third
and Flanders streets. He
worked . there both Thursday and Ftl
day, walking down from work on Thurs
day afternoon and riding- down to First
street on Friday because of the rain.
He walked along- First street from
Washington and passed Wolff s shop a
few minutes before i. What he saw he
tells la his own way: ; v
"I have had. several matters of busi
ness with Woiff and -was at the time
thinking, of buying something in his
shop. For that reason I usually looked
in as J passed by, I saw that while
it was raining; and most of the stores
war liarhtad Wolff's was dark. Ha was
there, however, standing behind the
north counter and leaning; over it. Lean
ing with his back against the south
counter was a man in a long dark crav
enette coat, dark clothing and a soft
dark hat. .
Wolff Turned Bead.
"As I looked In the window of course
this all happened in a few seconds it
seemed to me -that Wolff - turned his
head very slightly and looked out at
me his expression changed and he;
looked very anxious. The lips of neither
man. moved, but in the second that I
looked In the window I caught a fatrfy
good view of the stranger's face.
"Saturday night I was taken by Rob
inson, the watchman who first dis
covered Wolffs murder, to the police
station and tried to identify Martin as
this man. The light was bad and I was
not able to state positively. Yesterday
morning I went again, and Martin, I
Should say, Is the man X saw in Wolffs
shop. His height and build are the
an me. - His hose Is the same. His eyes
are tha same. I cannot state positively
that he Is the man. In swearing away a
man's life one must be careful, but ha
looks the same." .
West states that although ha did not
look as carefully as though he had ac
tually stopped, . ha does not, think tha
man wore a high collar If he wore , a
collar at all it was a low one. He is
positive he wore no short bo coat, or
If he did It was underneath the crave
nette. i -
May Kara Bald Qtu.
West thought ' nothing of the inci
dent at the time excepting tha fact that
Wolff startling change of, expression
as he looked out at him through the
window stuck In his memory. a In the
light of what occurred in the shop a
few minutes -later---West -is -inclined - to
-think that Wolff .may have attempted
to attract West's attention and induce
him to come in the. store. The man
may have-held a gun and West would
not hava seen In owing to the peculiar
leaning position, against the south show
case. "
It is the theory of the police that if
the man was Martin, he already had
ordered Wolff to return his watch or
was threatening him with death and
that Wolff -was looking around for a
chance of help. ,
At any rate not five minutes later,

: South Portland Passes In
to the Hands of Big Inde
pendent Packers, Who
Will Use Temporarily
Site on Peninsula Will Be
Chosen Upon Which a
Large Packing-House and
Its Accessories Will Be
Constructed.
Another of the big eastern packing
companies was anchored in Portland
today, when Schwarachlld & Sulzberger,
one of the largest independent pack
ing concerns in the United States, took
formal possession of the Zimmerman
plant in South Portland. -
Representatives of the Schwarschild
& Sulsberger company, and Louis !m
merman. proprietor of the South Port
land .plant, have been . negotiating for
soma time looking to tha , transfer nf
the Hamilton avene property to thafth Afy column, both on the east and
Chicago packers," but owim:. to the on
positlott of the South Portland residents
closing the deal has been delayed uaill
this time. ' .
It is understood that the Independ
ent packers Will use the Zimmerman
plant only temporarily, as arrangements
are already under way for bufldingla
modern and complete abattoir on lh
lower peninsula. The local representa
tives of the Schwarschild & Sulzberger
company have taken charge of the
South Portland plant, and Louis Zim
merman, the former owner, is under
stood to have accepted the position of
stockyard buyer under the new manage
ment. It is probable that the Schwars
child & Sulsberger company will go be
fore the council and ask permission to
use the South Portland plant until such
time as their new place, to be built
on tha peninsula, ia ready, -.
' While the exact site of the proposed
peninsula plant has not been selected it
Is known that the Chicago packers have
Becured options on a number of large
tracts that are suitable for the pur
pose. As soon as the selection Is made
and title taken , to the property, it is
understood that work on Portland's sec
ond big packing plant will be started.
No definite Information has been given
put as to the else of the plant to be
built by Schwartsschlld & Sulxburger,
but it is believed that It will be prac
tically a counterpart of the big concern
now under construction on the lower
peninsula for Swift & Co.
The Schwartsschlld Jk RulKhurrer
company Is one of the largest pnckfrig
concerns In the world and is the largest ,
independent company engaged in meat
packing in the United States, and it is
believed that a plant established in
Portland by this company will be alto
gether in keeping with the huge concern
operated by it in Chicago.

' Liquor Interests of Portland desire
and have asked that the city council
by special ordinance declare all the res
idence districts of the city to be dry.
This afternoon the executive com
mittee of : tha Wholesale Brewers' as
sociation presented the request to the
liquor' license committee, of the council,
accompanying - their .. request with maps
showing 'that : by their request 'they
would voluntarily put mors territory in

ttf the plan or tne liquor dealers it
fs proposed that tha-city council draw
lines of . restriction r closely about the
business district, or districts of the
City, and that for.the future no licenses
may be allowed to b transferred from
any location now wet to any location
outside of these lines The saloons now
open are to remain an they are. accord
ing to the plan. The lines are to be
drawn closely about the main business
districts of the east and west sides.

Outside of this main district it is
planned, for instance, that the immedi
ate property of the isolated saloons may'

, renee In Breweries.
To illustrate this point the line asked
for by the liquor men on the west side
ends at Nineteenth and Washington
streets. Out at the head of Washington
street is the Gambrlnus brewery, ft Is
asked that a line be drawn close about
the brewery and that all of the remain
ing country round about be put in the
dry list. It is the name at Sell wood,
where It is asked that the immediate
vicinity of the Sellwood brewery be
fenced Off In order that the brewery
may continue to operate but that all of
the surrounding country be made dry.
The same Intercession is made In be
half of those little places, not more
than five on the entire east side, which
have been in operation for years and
which are conducted In sn orderly man
ner. It is asked that the council fence
these places in by the restricted line
while the remainder of the east tide be
made dry.
Tha liquor men believe that by such
legislation' they will be able to satisfy
the residents of the city who hsve been
fighting them under the Impression that
the spread of saloons would Invade the
residence district. They hope In fact
to take the wind out of the sails of the
Anti-Saloon league.
Ho Additions Possible.
Under the present law there can ba
only one saloon for every 500 people in
the city. The ratio la much under this
at the present time and It Is estimated
that at the present rate of Increase In
the population it will be 11S before any
additional licenses can be issued by the
council. Under the i-resont condition it
is possible for the council to allow an
existing license to be transferred from
a down town, district to any other loca
tion desired. Under the proposition submitted-by-the
liquor men. -no-saloon
could be opened outside of the restricted
district. - -L
Should the citv council adopt the aug-
?etlon of tha liquor men. and create
he - restricted district, it would be Im
possible for liquor to be sold outside of
the main bun In ens districts of tha city,
except in a few Isolated cases where the
boundaries would ba tight drawn about
the premises of the scattering saloons.

Is similar to the arrangement . which
