- .-Td kill- you worse than Iverdld
the Chinaman or the brokers. I'd kill
very one of you if I had my gun. I've
killed thousands of men."
Such was the enraged exclamation
of the self-styled "Jack Ihe Splitter"
. when he was thrown to the floor and
hold there in Erlckson's saloon this
morning by Frank Freeman, a second-,
hand dealer at 13 North Second street.
The remrks of the gas pipe brute

CORPORATION MUST
PAY THOUSANDS
TREASURY OP STATE
(Special DUpiteh to Tie Journal.)
Salem, Or., May II. Thousands of
dollars will be paid into the treasury'
of Oregon by the Portland General
Electric company as a sesult of th de
cision of the supreme court yesterday
that the corporation must pay the state
10 yer cent of the money received from
the Oregon City locks from 188 to
1901. The attorney general also gives
his opinion that this decision gives the
tale tno rignt to taxe over tne iockb.
Governor Chamberlain caused the suit
to recover the unpaid percentage to be
filed by tho attorney general in 1905,
The case has been fought In the courts
ever since. Judge Eakln's decision
holds that the failure of state orrioers
In the pat to collect the money due has
nqt Invalidated the claim and that the
corporation must meet Its Indebtedness.
Arter nearing oerore juage rrnzrr i
Multnomah county It was held that the
state was barred by the statute of limi
tations from recovering money aue ror
a period of more than six years previ
ous. The defense then answerea set
ting up their allegations, that the com
pany owns the locks In fee by purchase
and not through special statutes: that
the state has acquiescea in notenmni a
exercise of Its rights and Is now
estopped from claiming anything; that
this suit seeks to deprive defendant of
property Without due process of law.

Fleet Tisltos Care.
It was estimated by the Southern Pa-
ciric mat more tnan zoo.uoo visitors
were In San Francisco for the coming
of the fleet. Portland's rose pageant, a
far more beautiful snectacla. will prob
ably draw half that number. The
coaches and equipment that were used
by the Southern Pacific are at San
Francisco are now being redistributed,
nnd many of them will be sent to Port
dnnd. Probably Mhe larger part Df the
extra equipment will be drawn from the
Short Line, which Is more convenient.
The: Portland Commercial club .todav
sent letters of inquiry and advice to all
the railroad, companies. Including steam
and e'.ectrlc, asking them what . is 'be
ing done In the way of special equip
ment arrangements f"r he festival.
It has no title greater than that of the
first company; that the appropriation
was accepted on the condition that the
terms ot the act would be complied
with; that the failure of the officers of
the state In collecting installments due
cannot operate as a waiver of a con
tinuing liability for a share ' of' the
profits or a recognition of defendant's
ownership fee. from It; that the com-
rany acquired the property subject to
he rights of the state and hence this
is not a taking of property without
the process of law.
The prospect of state ownership of
the locks Is greeted with Jby through
out the Willamette valley. The private
corporation has charged SO cents a ton
for all freight taken through the locks,
and In this wav has enabled the South
ern Pacific railroad to maintain extor
tionate freight rates. As a result the
Willamette valley shippers have been
throttled and private ownership of the
locks has been the greatest impediment
to the growth of this fertile section, '
Governor Chamberlain realised this
when he had the suit filed, and yester
day's decision Is considered here aa one
of his greatest victories for the people
of Oregon.
Attorney-General Crawford said to-
aay: "wne or tne conditions of the,
original grant was that after 20 year
rrom tne original grant the state might
take over the locks at a valuation to be
fixed by the legislature. Inasmuch as
the supreme court has upheld other con
ditions of the grant, It la reasonable to
suppose that this condition also will be
valid and still In force I ballevo there
fore that th state will be able to as
sume ownership and control ofaibe
lotks.'A ' - " v. ' V

John Chung, hit by the gas pipe

saw his assailant before he entered the
shop this morning, replied that he had

"Me never saw - him before. Don't
know why- he hit me with iron stick.
Me reach way up like this," and the
Chinaman showed how he. had stretched
Ms arms up to take down a bolt of
cloth, when the (hug grabbed him by
the back of the neck and, pulling him
down to the floor, dealt him five heavy
blows on the head.
"Me Jump 'up then, and run out af
ter the -man. Me much make noise.
Other men run, too." The Chinese then
went on to tell how he had followed
tne gas pipe wieiaer to Erickson s.
While speaking the excited yellow man
was changing his bloody clothes In his
little shop. He did not seem to be
hurt
The Chinaman's declaration that he
"never saw the thug before diiectly con
tradicts the latter's statement in tha
police that the Chinaman knew why he
had been assaulted. "Jack the Split
ter, also expressed himself as sorry he
hadn't killed the Celestial.
This statement, taken with his re
mark to Freeman and others vhan ha
was captured, shows that the man clear
ly intended to Kin ootn the Chinaman
and the Jew he referred to. That he
aid not was aue onty to tne fact that
he was In too big a hurry. When re

WAGNER HELD FOR
ASSAULT ON BROKER
HERMANN YESTERDAY
" 7 '" ' .
In view of the capture of Jack La-
Rose in connection with the attacks
upon the Couch street pawnbrokers
Monday and Tuesday, it is probable that
a complaint charging C. W. Wagner, a
brake man, with the assault upon Max
Hermann will be dismissed this after
noon and that Wagner will be given
his liberty.
i Wagner was taken to the St Vincent's
nospitai tnis morning in order tbat
Hermann might identify him. He did
mo almost positively, excepting to say
that the man who attacked him wore a
light gray coat, wnue Warner wore a
dark suit, detectives Coleman and Kay
had Waa-ner out there and Coleman oh.
Jected strenuously to the nilng of a
complaint aiam.i 1110 prisoner on aucn
evidence.
"I've a serious doubt In mv mind as
to Wagner's guilt, and unless I can find
that he wore a gray coat -In Stein's
Kwnshop and the saloon at Third end
ivis which he visited Just prior to go
ing to Hermann's If he went there at
all I shan't favor detaining him." said
Coleman. Kay was certain, however,
anad so he Induced Emanuel Hermann,
a son of the victim ot the thug, to sign
a complaint charging Wagner with as
sault' witn aeaaiy weapon.
Captain of Detectives Baty-declared
at noon that he didn't order Wagner
charged with the assault of. Hermann
end that if a complaint .was Issued it
was without his knowledge. - He said he
did not think any of the time that Wag
ner was connected wlla the assault upon
