HIS
(United Press Leased TCIrO
San Francisco, Cal Dec. 1. Chief
of Police BIggy, who was loat from
the police launch la the bay last
night, was in a state of great pertur
bation as the result of newspaper
attacks upon him and complained
bitterly of being ''hounded to death
by the press" shortly before he dis
appeared, according to the statement
made to the police commission today
by Commissioner Kiel. Chief BIggy
made the trip across the bay to con
fer with Kiel and he was the last
person to talk with him about his
affairs before he disappeared.
Kiel's statement in part follows:
"I was called up on the telephone nt
7:45 o'clock last night and Informed that
srantleman was comlns across the bay
to see me.1 I asked who it waa an the
voice replied: "Never mlna, you Know
who It Is.' ' -
"It was 8:80 o'clock when I saw the
polio launoh arrive and when I went
down to the water's edge, Chief BIggy
stepped out. v.
"He seemed to be greatly perturbed
and worried and at Once began to com
plain of the attacks being made upon
him in the newspapers. He Bald he was
being hounded by the newspapers and
was extremely bitter about It. This
was what seemed to be mainly on his
mind and it wan the flrst thing he spoke
of when he landed.
Trie to Calm Htm.
"I told Mm to pay no attention to
what the public press said about him
and tried to calm Mm. We then talked
about matters pertaining to the police
department and at 10 o'clock he started
back- across the bay.
"The tide was low at the time and I
had to go out In a rowboat to meet the
chief. When I took him back to the
launch I noticed that It was cold and
advised him that he better wrap up on
the trip back. BIggy said to me: "Never
mind about me; you better take care of
yourself.' Those were the last words
he apoke to me." m ,
The statement of Engineer Murphy to
thai enmmiaaion ia considered to support
the theory of suicide. He said:
BiffgT Was Worried.
"Chief BIggy, when he came down to
h dock. Bald that ha had missed Com
missioner Kiel and wanted to go over to
Belvedere at once, tie seemed wornea
Get off ae quietly as you can and
don't blow the whistle unless you have
"When we reached Belvedere Commis
sioner Kell came out in a rowboat and
Chief Biggy-went ashore, whore he re
mained for two hours. He told me to be
sure to wait as he wanted to get back
to the city last night.
- "When he came back aboar he com
plained of being cold. I saw him walk
lag down the deck and the last I saw
of him he was sitting in the cabin.
We were then about off Alcatrax island.
I think. Then I didn't notice anything
until we ran Into the waves of a ferry
boat and I called o him to come and
help me. .
"When he did not answer, I Inves
tigated and found that he was gone."
'Murphy's story f Trip.
Murphy then told how he hurried
ashore and reported the loss of the
chief. , .
Other statements were made by Cap
tain J. ' J. O'Meara,' who testified that
lie saw Biggv yesterday at his office
at 4:30 o'clock, and later at 6 o'clock,
at a restaurant near the Ferry building.

Disruption of the Police
Department.
(United Press Utud Wu..
San Francisco, Uec. 1. Developments
today give Increasing support to the
theory that Chief of Police William J.

and facing an investigation of his per
sonal and official conduct, ended his

of the bay last night while on the way

criticism. The local papers have pub
lished numerous stories to the effect
that BIggy would resign or be re
moved. The department waa In a state
of unrest for weeks, the headquarters
being a hotbed of plots and counter
plots between Jealous officers. The
police commissioners were to me,et to
night to reconstruct the department.
Sits at Blggy.
The last few davs the local papers
have published stories of a "pudgy
man" who "masqueraded as Chief Big
gy" in the tenderloin and engaged in
thrilling midnight, revels.
These stories told how the "pudgy
man" declared in a loud voice that he
was the chief of police; demanded en
trance to houses and even forced his
Way Into places of extraordinarily 111
remits. One storv told how the "pudgy
man" ordered the Inmates of one house
Into the street saying he decided tney
would have to vacate but on reconsider
ation decided to give them until the
first of the year ana permiwea tnem
to remain. The writers of the articles
made It clear that this "pudgy man"
was su much like the chief that it
was hard to believe that it was not he.
It was noted also that the "pudgy
man" was not arrested or molested by
the police.
With the charges of Incompetency
and increasing allegations against the
chief in the public prints. Mayor Taylor
was led yesteruay to sena a message
to Blggy Informing him that his con
duct would be made the subject of an
official investigation.
Telephoned to Kell. .
When he received this message BIggy
at once telephoned to Commissioner
Kell. who had been his friend and suu
porter on the board. It Is understood
tnat lie uia not gei muni) aiisi,icuun
and decided to visit Kell last night.
It is pointed out that BIggy did not
take the usual escort of two patrolmen
when he started in the police launch,
but said that lie woma go unaccompa
nied, except by Engineer Murphy.
When thev reached Belvedere, a small
summer resort on the north shore of
the bay. Keii came c.own from his resi
dence and talked to the chief at the
water's edge. Murphy did not hear
much of this conversation, and Kell this
morning refused to tell what took place.

CANNOT BE
ENFORCED
Salem, Or., Dec. 1. Asserting a strict
spplication of the initiative and refers
enaum enactment in all cases where its
framers intended it should be employed,
the supreme court today this time
through an opinion written bv Justice
Eakln declared the vehicle tax ordi
nance of the city of Portland un
enforceable until the referendum, peti
tioned by citizens of Portland, shall
have been declined.
The decree of Judge Gantenbeln was
reversed.
In February of this year an ordinance
was enacted, by Portland's cltv council
which provided a license fee for vehicles,
conveyances and delivery wagons used
in conduct-of certain businesses. With
in 30 days after the passage of the
ordinance a petition, Invoking the refer
endum waa fifed with the auditor of the
city, and this case was brought into the
circuit court of Multnomah countv to
enjoin the ordinance, pending submis
sion of the measure to the vote of the
people.
A demurrer to the complaint was sus
tained by Judge Gantenbeln and the
Court entered a decree dismissing the
suit. The only question involved is that
raised by attorneys for the city of
Portland.
"Some provision is required to give
time and opportunity- to - invoke the
referendum again,' t-ays the decision.
"This was recognlied by the framers
of fha amendment, us It provides there
in that the manner of exercising such
power shall be preserved by a general

PROOF OF
FINCH KEEPS
TO PLOT
James A. Finch, the slayer of
Ralph B. Fisher, still keeps up the
pretense of not remembering any
thing about killing the young at
torney, professing absolute ignorance
of having been near the Mohawk
building at any time last Saturday
afternoon. Yet Finch's mind seems
perfectly clear as to all that pre
ceded and all that followed the
tragedy.
This morning Finch told in detail of
a conversation he hem witn irann
Grant, another lawyer, a few hours be
fore Fisher was killed; and also de
scribed minutely a conversation over
the telephone with Fisher about 11:30
o'clook.' Finch repeats th conversation
word lor word with Fisner- tnen cam
recall going to Fisher's office and shoot
ing him 'down In cold blood.
The cool effrontery of the man Is
exemplified by his declaration- this
morning that ho regretted circum
stances were such that he was unable
to attend the funeral of the man he
murdered. He asserts that Fisher was
the last man he would have thought of
killing ,and would have the public be
lieve that be held no enmity toward his
victim.
Finch s defense Is to be emotional
insanity, or temporary mental aberra
tion of the mind, but that 12 men can
be found in Multnomah county who can
be nersuaded that Finch dta not Know
what he was doing whsn he shot Fish
er seems highly improbable In view of
all the circumstances.
Ho Conspiracy round.
The theory of a conspiracy to murder
Fisher which was advanced In newspa
per stories seems to have rauen aDso
Uutely flat. It is probable that some
or me outer oisoarrea attorneys. j0ii
themselves aggrieved by Fisher's strict
interpretation of his duty as prosecu
tor of the State Bar association, and it
also seems probable that some of them
besides Finch was concerned in the
sending of the threatening letters and
telephone messages. But there is noth
ing to indicate that there was an plot
for the murder of the attorney.
J. H. Hitching, a lawyer whose name
has been mentioned freely In connection
with these letters and messages, de
nies flatly that he, wrote or sent the
letters - or threatened Fisher over the
telephone.
"I have no typewriter." he said this
morning, "and I never have laid my
linger on one in my life. My type
writing is done by several young men.
one of them a stenographer In the
Oregonian building. And I have no
telephone. The attempt to connect me
with 'the Fisher case is due to tho
hatred and Jealousy of another attorney.
"This man has for years made it a
practice to solicit business In the po
lice co'urt through the officers,, and I
have protested several times against
such unprofessional conduct. He Is
Just taking this opportunity to get
even with me. I think the murder of
Mr. Fisher was a calamity to the com
munity." There Is no telephone. In Hltchlngs' j
office, and no typewriter was visible
this morning.

Hltchlngs protested violently that he
was being made the victim of a conspir
