Judge Becker lias been making the

ROSA SHE NO LIKA DE MURRAY;
MURRAY HAS CAUSENO LIKA DEROSA
'Til get you later, all right." This
was (he threat of 'Rosa De Clcco, the
Italian woman who struck Patrolman
Murray on the head with an Iron maul,
as she shook her finger at Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Fitzgerald this morning
In the municipal court.
, . Mrs, De Cisco., constantly Interrupted
the proceedings attempting to explain
her side of the cuse to the judge
whether It was her turn to speak or not.
? After the court adjourned Mrs. lie
Clcco saw Fitzgerald again as she was
awaiting the elevator to take her back
to the women's quarters on the third
floor.
Again the wrathful woman shook her
finger at the prosecuting attorney.
"'Even If I get ten yews 1 come and
fix you. Tou're a bad man." She con
tinued her denunciation until the ele
vator took her out of hearing.
During court Bailiff Riley had much
trouble In keeping her seated. She has
twice been cleared of the charge "f
insanity, the last time only on her
promise to go to Seattle and stay there.
Her divorced husband had a warrant
sworn out this week, charging her with
threatening to kill him. Tatrolmm
Murray served the warant upon her and
while his back was turned she struck
him on the head with a ten-pound maiil,
Inflicting a severe wound. When fho
ex-husband took the stand this loom
ing he kept a safe distance frnm the
woman, who alternated her fierce looks
at Fitzgerald with glares of hate at
her former husband.
Mrs. De Cicco's case was continued
until Monday and she was held under
13,000 bonds.

Hostilities between a force of deputy

Bulger's star was not sufficiently
convincing, and the officer telephoned
to the sheriff's office for assistance. He
warned the Kelly employes not to Inter

do away with all doubt as to his being
an officer. Meantime Deputy Sheriffs
Jones and Wagner hurried to the scene
of the threatened conflict, but by the

SECOND TOILER
CASE, la CHICAGO
Veronica Cassidy May Be
Victim of San Francisco
Child-Killer.
(I'nlted Press Lenaed Vlre.i
Chicago, Aug. 1. Accumulating evi
dence today Increases the suspicions of
th" police that the man who kidnaped
12-year-old Veronica Cassidy by adver
tising for a "companion for his wife,"
Is Charles B. Hadley. alleged murderer
of Nora Fuller, a 13-year-old San Fran
cisco (rlrl. who was enticed from hom.
in b similar way and killed February
., 1902.
The similarity between the cases Is
marked and the description of the man
as well as his handwriting tallies with
that of Hadley, whom the police In all
parts of the country have sought vain
ly for six years.
Mrs. Catherine Casper this afternoon
revealed to the police the lodging of th
kidnaper. She said she suspected that
the man who took a room at her house
last week and disappeared suddenly
"Wednesday was the F. J. Blair who
tola the child.
When the room was searched the po
lice found three answers to the adver
tisement for a young girl to art as com
panion for his wife. They also found a
letter addressed to "F. .1. Blair, Movie.
B. C ," and postmarked at Seattle. There
was a letter addressed to Blair from
tailors who said they were ready to
f;il his orders. The police of Seattle
and Movie have been notified
The police admitted this afternoon
that they believe the man with tho
fiiild boarded a B'irlliipton train for the
I west Friday afternoon and every pre
caution is being taken to bring about
his capture. A man and girl fining tha
description were seen at the station, tho
man holding the child's hand firmly
and keeping a close watch on her.
Mrs. IdlTlnn Cassidy, mother of the
little girl, Is prostrated with fear that
the child will be found murdered like
the little Fuller girl in San Francisco.
The man obtained the child throusn
the mother answering the advertise
ment. He called nt the Cassidy resi
dence and after making arrangements
with the mother, led the little girl
away. He gave fictitious addresses at
the Cassidy house and other residences
where he called In an effort to get a
little girl Mrs. Casper says the man
told her he was a workinsman when
ho .engaged the room. He displayed a
large roll of money and always seemed
to be well supplied.
The excitement over the case has
reached such a point that hundreds of
citizens have Joined the police in the
search The three grown brothers of
Veronica -Bre at the head of three par
ties of searchers who are seeking out
very possible place where they think the
child might have been taken. This
search Is being conducted on the theory
that the police are mistaken in thlnklnjj
the child was taken from the city.
With the completion of the parking
system proposed by the city park board,
Portland will tako front rank with all
af the lending cities In the country and
with the development of the natural beau
tiful park resources the Rose City will
become one of the most beautiful mu
nicipalities In the world, according to
park experts who have labored over the
plans. The above map shows the sys
tem arranged by Olmsteaa Brothers of
Boston, and will be built with the $1,
000.000 to be raised by the bonding act
Just declared valid by the supreme
court.
A glance at the map shows the com
prehensive outlay provided for by the
park board and. while the general
scheme will be carried out, the board
will have to eliminate part, because of
the immense cost.
Even with the elimination of a large
amount of the system there will still
be left a complete boulevard system
which will encircle the city and provide
a park of 1.000 acres on tho Columbia
river, besides parjes on Ross and Swan
Islands. Other parks will be Included
s shown on the map, in addition tu
playgrounds that were not included in
the original scheme.
At the outset the board contemplates
taking in the Oaks, but tli(.s was after
ward abandoned and a parking site la
contemplated just south or the amuse
ment resort. From this park a boule
vard will be constructed to be known
as Waved v boulevard. This boulevard
will be extended in an easterly direc
tion to a point just south of" Mount
Tabor, where It will turn to the north
of Mount Tabor. Here a park will he
established, taking in all of Mount Ta
bor. Leaving the park the boulevard will
exteini along the Alameda, skirting the
Country club to Columbia park, which
will embrace 1,000 acres. Then down
Portland boulevard to the tract Just
north of the Alblna car shops. Crossing
tho river at this park, the scheme In
cludes the parking of Swan Island.
From Swan Island a driveway or con
nection of some kind will be made to
the mainland on the west side, where
the boulevard will extend through
Forestry park.
Coming south the boulevard will cut
through tha old Iwis and Clark ex
position grounds, embracing the site
now occupied by the government build
ing. From this point the system will
cross Melimia heights along the Barnes
rond. Mnclenv park and Kings heights
will be taken in in regular order as
will the City park.
Circling back of the city reservoirs
nnd crossing the Ford street bridge,
tho boulevard will skirt the hills Just
south of the park blocks and then fol
low a general southward direction two
blocks west of Macadam road to a point
opposite the Oaks.
It Is at this point that a high bridge
across the Willamette is contemplated
which will make the circle complete
with the cxeeptloh of the gap between
the mainland on the east side at the
park north of the Alblna car shops and
Swan Island. The board expects this
gap to be filled in time with a bridge
from the Island to the mainland, thus
completing the circle entlrelj-.
Several of tho boulevard extensions
such ns the one to the Ladd tract and
the 'Willamette boulevard will not be
constructed by the board at the present
time with the money raised by the bond
Issue because of the expense.
W. R. Rutherford. 603 Corbett build
ing, was sorry when Portland lost the
game yesterday. He' felt more sorry
when, as he was leaving the grandstand
he missed $100 In paper money, which
he knew had been lying safely In his
wallet when he boarded a car for tho
Vaughn street grounds. Wallet and all
were gone when the game was over.
rie rememDereri that the car wns
crowded, but eould not tell the police.
iv nuin tne men was at once reported,
whether the robbery occurred on ' the
car or In the grandstand.
This Is the most Important pick
pocket case reported for some weeks.
The police today are also working on
the report made by F. K. Dupre. Srtl
East Davis, who missed a pocketbook
containing J55 In gold and a draft for
$100 on the Washington Trust company
of Seattle.
When F. C. Schubert returned to his
home at 693 Davis street after an ab
sence of three weeks he found that a
window had been forced and several ar
ticles of Jewelry stolen.
John Sllfen. who was picked up at
Third and Ankeny last evening rathe'
the worse for wear, declares ho was
robbed of a silver watch.
H. W. Maxle. Falrvlew, has reported
the loss of two sets of harness nnd
several tools. Jeff Garman, 50 Fast
Twelfth north, mourns the loss of
bicycle.
Because .there was no judge In tha
circuit court today to hoar the appli
cation of Mrs, M. C. Whlte of "The
Needlecraft Shop" f6r art Injunction to
prevent Mra. J. A. Van Horn of "Van'a
Needlecraft Shop" from opening a place
of busltiesa under the lotter name, Mrs.
Van Horn this morning began business
according to projram and no one could
aay nay.
Yesterday the attorney for Mra. White
secured an order requiring Mra. Van
Horn to appear this morning to show
cause why an Injunction should not la
sue. She has registered the name "Nee
dlocraft Shop," und claims the exclu
sive right to the word In Oregon. Judge
O'Day granted the order, but yesterday
woe his last day on the bench.
Jt was thought that Judge Bronuugh
would be back today 'from a brief va
cation In the mountains, but he did not
come. Judge Gantonbeln la resting these
days at hla home. Judge Clcland la at
the beach, and Judge-elect Morrow In
still attending to private business and
has not qualified.
Mrs. Van Horn was on hand In emir
this morning with her lawyer, and so
was tho attorney for Mrp. White, each
readv for the fray. But an there was
no Judge, nothing could be done, and
the matter went ovor by common con
sent until Monday.
An Interesting Question In nrennnisi
In the case, which hinges on the word
needlecraft." Is this a distinctive, new
name, which one person mav use tn th
exclusion of another? V. T Masters,
attorney for Mrs. White, thinks It Is.
Or la It a generic word, the name of
a craft, such as woodcraft, which any
one may use? That is the contention of
John F. Logan, representing Mrs. Van
Horn.
Masters points to the fact that tha
word cannot be found In th most recent
standard, dictionaries. Ixgan responds
that this is ao much the worse for the
dictionaries, and appeared with an arm
load of women's magazines to prove hla
point. He exhibited a publication
called "Needlecraft," and another named
"Stltchings," that carries under It the
explanation that It is "a magazine of
needlecraft."
The date of tho lntter publication Is
1903, and Mrs. White's shop name was
not registered until October of last
year. It Is therefore claimed that she
has no monopoly on a name In use
for years, although the dictionary mak
ers have not been enterprising enough
to get it down. The dictionary was
made for man, and not man for tha
aictlonary, says Logan, and he objects
to dictionary rule.
The needlecraft que.sJ.lon, with Its ex
hibits of Ladles' Home Journal and
other publications (Wr tn the femlntna
heart, will come on Monday before
Judge Cleland. who will act for two
weeks as presiding Judge, beginning at
that time.
