Belies of Chicago Butchorv
Establish Victim's Iden
tity as Boy of Alien Birth
Name Was Probably
Toffee Shishein.
Attitude of Unconcern As
sumed by Officials of
Canadian Pacific.
(T'nltod Prew Leaned Wire.)
Chicago, Aug. 6. Mrs. Shlsheln, a
! Syrian, this afternoon identified the
clothing found near the dismembered
body of the boy as having been worn
by her son, Toffee Shishein. 13 yearn
old, when he disappeared from his home

Chlcaeo. All. 6. The head of a boy
hni dismembered body was taken
N rrnm fh dralnaee canal here yesterday
was found by the police today near the
not where the torso was found. The
head was sticking In a hole in the clay
near the edire of the canal bank. It
wu at first thought the legs found yes
terda were those of a woman, but In
vestigation shows they fit a torso of a
bov, found later.
The finding today of tho head, with
long dark hair, completed the corpse
with the exception of the arms, which
have not yet been located. It is dlffl
cult to say whether the head was mu
tilated, owing to Its condition.
With the severed head were found
four human ribs, broken at the ends,
evidently having; been torn from the
body and twisted loose when the head
was torn off.
The head was that of a Greek boy
with aquiline nose. Together with the
ribs, it was wrapped in a newspaper
bearing the date of July 7, 1908. Boys
discovered the head while they were
nlavln along the canal.
United States District Attorney Blms
today declared that the whole legal
power of the government will be used In
the attempt to capture the perpetrator
of the murder.
The Identity of the victim Is still un-
known.
The police are secretly holding a sue
pect whose name they refuse to give.
He Is a Greek suspected of being the
leader of the padrone system here.

Vancouver. H ('., ,;Aug. 6. William
Whyte. second vice-president of the Ca
nadian Pacific Railroad company, when
asked todav If he had anything to say
concerning the rale war, shook ills head
and said the matter was In the hands
of the local officials.
When further questioned to wheth
er he eared to comment on the strike
situation, he slightly relaxed and, af
ter a moment of reflection, said;
"We really have nothing to ay about
it. It is not our place to talk or net
in the matter. When the conciliation
committee made its rulings, I tele
graphed Ottawa from Winnipeg end told
them that their findings were not, from
our point of view, satisfactory, but that.
In order to keep tho spirit of the con
ciliation act, wo would agree to them."
The Plain Inference from Mr. Whyte's
comment seemed to he that Inasmuch, as
the conciliation committee had given a
ruling and the men had gone nut on
strike. It was up to the commission to
look after the enforcement of Its own
rulings.
The situation here Is quiet.

Winnipeg, Man.. Aug. 6. It was an
nounced today at the headquarter of
the staking Canadian Pacific mach
inists that the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Knglnerrs, the organization of
firemen and tho Order of Hallway Con
ductors are negotiating to aid the strik
ers and it Is hinted thut they may
strike in sympathy.
This announcement caused consider
able commotion but it was not taken
seriously at the offices of the railroad.
If the enpLnemen and conductors should
follow tho machinists it would mean a
complete tleup of tho great system and
block the transportation of the crops.
It Is evident that the strikers are re
ceiving financial aid from tho confed
erated unions.
General Manager Hury declines to
discuss the report that other unions
are considering striking. intimating
that the officials think the statement
was given out for effect.
It Is reported thnt the railroad com
pany will be assisted bv other rail
roads, which will lend rofllng stock to
take tho place of cars rendered useless
by the strike. This attempt on the part
of other roads. Bury snld. Is due to th
disposition shown by Vice-President
Whyte to prevent the strike If possi
ble, even being willing to compromise,
o rar no disturbances, have been re
ported.

GARFIELD INQUIRES
INTO LAND MATTERS
(United Prrai Lmtd Wire.)
Kan Francisco, Ana;. 6. It was an
nounced here today that the interstate
commerce commission will meet In San
Francisco August 18, to take up mat
ters relating to the freight rate con
troversy between the commission and
th railroads that have grown out of
the new freight tariff order by the
commission on shipments of lumber
from points In the Willamette valley to
San Francisco and bay points.
It Is likely that the commission will
also hear complaints from the trans
continental railroads regarding the new
ruling on oriental tarltrs, at Its Ban
Francisco meeting, which will be one
of the most Important sessions of the
year.
Xhe government officials here pro
fess to be ignorant of the commission's
program, but admits that the lumber
rate controversy is to be considered.
The commission has been subponaed
to answer in Federal Judge Morrows
court to show why an Injunction should
not De issued restraining the enforce
ment of the new lumber rates. The of
flclals of the Pacific Mall company are
preparing io suomit meir objections to
tno late ruling or tne commission re
gardlng the publication of overland
tariffs on oriental shipments. The new
rule requires tne publication of over
land tariffs and the steamshln neonle
say they would be forced to go out of
ousiness because competition on the Pa
cific ocean forces them to give the ori
ental shipper a lower rate than they
give the American shipper. A strong
protest is to be made against the new
rule, wnicn is to go into effect Octo
ber 1 unless changed.

III JAIL
(United Pres Leased Wire.)
St. Louis. Mo., Aug. 6. The Knights
of Columbus this afternoon selected
Mobile. Ala., as the next convention
city of the order.
It has cost the county of Multnomah
over $160 more to feed the prisoners In
the county Jail during the month of
July than It cost In June. In June the
feeding was done under contract by
tho county court. Since July 29 the
sheriff has had charge under the law
adopted by popular vote on June 1. giv
ing the custody of all county prisoners
to the sheriff.
There are tnree reasons for this In
crease in expense. One Is the fact that
the sherlffiecelves 12V4 cents per meal,
while the county court fed them by con
tract at 11 H cents. Another reason
that all trusties, all persons awaiting
trial, all held as witnesses and
those held on insanity charges are now
entitled to three meals per day instead
of two. Under the old system, all pris
oners were treated alike and received
only two meals.
Another factor increasing cost is the
arger number of prisoners detained, as
no countv prisoners are being sent to
Kelly Butte and none can plead guilty
or be tried until the grand Jury gets
to work In September. Meantime those
held for trial will fatten on "three per
day" and the sheriff. Incidentally, will
benefit.
Figures from the official records show
that from June 1 to June 29, when the
sheriff took charge of the feeding,
3,034 meals were served to prisoners in
the Jail, costing 11 H cents each, or
$348.l. From June 29 to July 31, 4.093
meals were served at 12 H cents each.
costing the county $512.62. an excess of
zibz.vi ror the latter period.

Count Zeppelin, the great aeronaut,
whose big balloon exploded yesterday
after probably the most remarkable
flight on record, this afternoon gave the
following Interview to the United Press:
"A strong gust of wind lifted the ship
bodily from Its moorings and, dragging

the wind suddenly ceased and the ship,
having no velocity of Its own, cam
down with a heavy shock,
"The collision of the frame work with
the ground upset a tank of benzine Into
the motor. The fuse ignited the benzine
and the explosion followed.
"Two members of the crew were In
the ship when It tore-away from the
moorings. When they saw the danger
they tried to start ths engines but were

Count Zeppelin expressed his determl-t

used to convert the present Inadequate
city vault Into a modern receptacle for
the safe keeping of the city's funds.
The contract is in the hands of the

All of the steel was set up in the
company s factory at Hamilton, Ohio,
before being sent to Portland. The
company also sent Thomas O'Connell
and a crew of four men all the way
to the Rose City to set up the steel
which will line the vault. The metal Is

BE A HERO OR HEROINE AND DIVE
FOR THIS YOUNG LADY'S RING
Deep water diving at Bunds has
taken on a new Interest since yester
day afternoon. At about 3 o'clock,
when the crowd was the biggest, one
of the fair hathers gave a shriek and
climbed excitedly out of the swimming
cradle and onto the platform. Every
body thought somebody had been
drowned "it's gone. It's gone," she
moaned piteously and the attendants
feared her child had been lost. It, how
ever, wasn't a child, but a $600 dia
mond ring, with three big stones set
aiagonaiiy across tne ring.
While the owner had been swimming
she had forgotten Its presence on her
hand, but as she felt for it in cllmolng
oui rpRjiieu wiai ii naa gone to tne bor
torn of the river. An Ineffectual at
tempt was made to find It at the hn-.
torn of the cradle, but It had evidently
gone through the spaces between fie
slats and down Into the river. So the
latest sport Is diving under the swim
ming tank for diamonds.
JOKE: GLASS TRUST CUTS PORTLAND
IN PAINFUL ADVANCE IN PANES
People who live In glass houses ha4
better look out and not throw stones.
If they do and some one throws back It
Is liable to cost them 40 per cent more
than formerly to make repairs. At
least that is the dictate of the American
Window Olass company, which controls
the machine-made glass business.
According to some of the glass deal
ers In the city the American company
has been after the glas blowers and
hand-blown glass manufacturers for
some time. They have at last got them
cornered so that the control of tke sit
uation has passed over to the Amer
ican company. As soon as that hap
pened they boogted the price about 20
per cent. That was some time ago.
Now the word Is being passed around
that there Is another boost due, In fact.
It was put into effect August 1.
It Is fair to the Portland dealers to
say, however, that the boost of 40 per
cent Is In eastern prices. As yet there
has been no advance In the price of
glass In Portland.
"There is not liable to be an Increase
In the price here." said one of the deal
ers this morning, "unless all of the
dealers should get together and agree on
a price, and I do not believe there Is
any likelihood of that being done."
The Chinese crew of "the German
steamer Kva was paid off this morning
and peace has been restored on the blgf
lumber eaFFler at the mills of the Pert
land Lumber company. Captain P.
Schonwandt distributed about $l,40QIn
United States coin among t.he "cMrw,
paying them In full,,Aip to date.
Eight of the crew' are still In Jafl'and
will probably remain there until- the
steamer Is ready for departure for
Cheefoo, which will be In a few days.
Upon arrival there the crew will be
discharged and a new one engaged.
Captain Schonwandt says no brutal-'
ity was Inflicted upon the Chinese
Wednesday afternoon when Acting Ger-i
man Consul Paul H. Cremer was asked
to take a hand In settling the trouble
that was brewing on board. He denies
that Mr. Cremer did anything but his
duty in quelling an incipient stampede
which made It necessary for him to grab
a few of the Chinese by their shoulders
and arms to drive hcm to their place
In the forecastle, as they started for the
dock. He says tne longsnoremen nnu
others who assert thev saw him beat
and kick them must have been mistaken.
"I have paid orf the men. aitnougn

BESPEAKS FAIR PLAY
FOR YOUNG JACKSOX
Portland, Or., Aug. 0 To the Editor
of The Journal I want to thank' you
for your fairness In sending your rep
resentative all the way to the Schcmp
home at the peninsula to get his state
ment In the Jackson RcM caae. Other
newspapers have with seeming una
nimity In editorial and local columns
fortnd the lad guilty, sentenced and con
demned him.
'' Burely there should be some sense of
justice In newspaper offices to prevent
such 8rament. Surelv this lad of 11
years Is entitled to the presumption
which the law gives to grown people,
that he is entirely innocent of any crime
until he is proven guilty.
It Is not a brave act. if is not a manlv
thing in the safety of an editorial cham
ber to write editorials and articles bucIi
as I refer to. The boy Is entitled to an
abaojute suspension of Judgment until
the facts are presented in the courti
I have known Jackson Reld several
years. He is a gentle and manlv lad,
never seeking trouble with anyone. My
wife is well acquainted with his mother,
who is a refined and gentle lady, as
tnorougnly devoted to the proper rear
ing of her children and as constant In
her devotion to them as any mother In
the city of Portland.
The stepfather, Mr. Schemp, la a hard
working Intelligent and law-abiding
citizen. They are poor and are not
ashamed of It: some day Mr. Schemp
will be rich, and ho won't be proud of
It. He will be still what he is now, a
good father and a good citizen.
Of course the publications referred to
will not Influence the mind of the trial
Judge, but they will influence the minds
of the . community from which a Jury
must be called. The poison has already
been administered. The reporter of one
evening paper of the city appeared at
the Jail and Insisted upon talking with
the ooy. His attorney, Mr. Esterly,
very properly refused the request,
whereupon the roporter said very well,
he would "draw on his Imagination for
an article ror his paper," and he did.
What was the result? "Bold head lines"
about a "BlooJ-Stalned Boy," "Deliber
ate Murder," the lad Is designated as a
through the entire article.
These statements are not true. The
evidence upon the trial will show that
thev are not true. The editorials and
articles in the- other papers are not
true. Jackson Reld did no more or no
less than any reasonable full-grown
man would have done. Two full-grown
men, one with a club and the other with
a boat oar are a menace and a threat
which Justify quick and effective action
by boy or man. Such in my Judgment
will be the conclusion of the trial Judge
and trial Jury, and It certainly is a fair
request that the newspapers and the
public withhold their Judgment until
the trial may be had. Yours very truly,
LAFB PENCE.
