Iverson. who was shot early yesterday morning by Cornelius f Enwright, Jr., at the Swift packing plant on the Peninsula, does not desire to orosecut his assailant, nor does he like to discuss the shooting affair. He lias "stated to One of the attendants at , the Good Samaritan hospital that ho will not swear to a complaint against Enwright. Because of this remarkable and un expected attitude on the part of the man who wu shot, Sheriff Stevens baa relaxed his search for the man who did the shooting. Even when he was first Bhot Iverson did not want to talk about the affair, and this has given rise to the belief that there was something in the -relations between the two men that i has not been revealed. - Iverson lias said that he believed he was aa much at fault as Enwright, and thle may account for his relu.ctance to talk about the shooting, as well aa his refusal to prosecute. Reports from the hospital today were that Iverson will recover, unlesr unlocked for complications set In. With this change In the situation. Sheriff Stevens: has withdrawn all of his depu ties' from the trail of Enwright, and it Is believed that the latter will soon come out from "hiding. It Is not bet lleved that he lias gone far away. Sheriff Stevens said this morning that he did. not believe he would b Justified In keeping up' the search for Enwright, In view of the fact that Iverson takes the blame to himself. Some of the men at the packing plant yesterday intimated to the sheriff that Iverson got "what he had coming," and - one man thought he had a pair of brass knuckles In his hand when he Jumped from the wagon in response to a chal- v lenge from Enwrighj. Just before Jh latter pulled his revolver. Iverson displayed great grit yester day. While being taken to the hos pital, believed at that time to he mor tally wounded, he smoked cigarettes as lie lay In the ambulance. He chatted . and laughed, but refused to talk about the shooting, except to say that he had nothing against Enwright No definite clue has reached the sheriff as to Enwright. It was even impossible to tell what direction he took, some of the employes evidently desiring to shield him, saying he went one way and others telling a different story- .

As long as the submerged water pipes under the Willamette river remain at their Dresent depth commerce between Portland and Europe will be greatly handicapped. Letters received by Super intendent F. T. Dodge of the city water oVpartnient from the Port of Portland. Chamber of Commerce. Major Mclndoe of the I'nited States engineering corps, j nd the Portland dumber company, state that the chief ohstacle in the way of an i open river to the sea with a 30 root . channel, lien in the fact that the mains carrying the Bull Run supply from the east Bide of the Willamette river to the west side are not deep enough at the low tvater period. In the communications from the Port ?' L?m7 the water board Is urged before going to any expense In repairing the broken i 28-inoli main, lo take stets toward low ering both mains to the depth required If the upper harbor la to be opened to the largest ocean going vessels. The.se letters, however, are all writ ten under the Impression that the first recommendation of chief Knglneer. 1). I. Clarke, of the city water depart ment was to be followed. His recom mendation called for the laying of 4Vi) feet of 24-inch steel pipe under the river. The water board then ordered the. engineer to prepare estimates of tne probable cost of laying lines of pipe from the channel edge to points on the shore at Market and Clay streets. Decide on Third nan. These estimates showed that the cost would be In the neighborhood of 176,000, so on. account of the great expense should either plan be adopted, the water board at a special meeting yesterday decided for the present on a third plan. That is to repair the broken main by clamping a sheet steel sleeve over the damaged section. The cost of this will be about IJ600, but additional expenses will bring the total damage sustained by the city on account of the breakup to $6000. In view of the action of the water board, the requests of the various let ters to begin immediately to lay the pipes under the channel to a depth of 30 feet wlIT of course not be granted, as the expenditure necessary would in all probability require a bond issue of several hundred thousand dollars. At the present time onlv temporary re pairs are deemed justifiable. Major MCinaoe siaies in mm ,""'"" cation that it "seems to me that the growth of water borne commerce In the future will require a 30 foot channel for the upper river, but it can not be fore told whether or not this channel will be provided within the next five or tn years. , . Lowering of the water mains was agi tated six years ago, says the govern ment engineer, according to the records of his Office. He further states that the present regulations of the war de partment require that the submerged mains shall be at a depth of not leas than 27 feot from the low water chan nel elevation. . . , The pipes are laid under the channel In accordance with thia. requirement, but outside the harbor line are. raised. The milling Interests on the upper river ob ject to this because the pipes, say mill men, prevent vessels of more than IS feet -loading at their wharves and being nhle to cross the pipeline to the main channel. The Inman-Poulsen Lumber eompnnv is already dredging ita dock frontage to a 30-foot depth and the other longshore companies have prom ised to do th same if thp water board will submerge, the mains deep enoush to make the work of dredging the river of practical advantage.

Olympla, Wash., May 8. Former Ad- iutant General Ortls Hamilton Is now nown to be short at least $36,000 In his accounts, and Attorney General Bell says the shortage may run considerably more. Hamilton was bound over to the BUperlor court this morning under $10, 000 bail. (United Press Lesstd Wire.) Olympla. Wash., May 8. Ortls Hamil ton, former adjutant general of the state of Washington, was this morning ar raigned before Police Magistrate Milton Giles on a charge of embezxlement of state funds. Hamilton pleaded not guilty, waived examination and asked that the case be immediately transmit ted lo the superior court for trial. The little courtroom was packeM when Hamilton entered, but he betrayed no recognition of any of the spectators. He composed himself In an abstracted man ner and did not appear to be greatly In terested In the proceedings. His affairs were looked after bv Judge Robinson. Hamilton's ball still remains fixed at $10,000 and from all that can be learned he Is no nearer raising that sum than. ne was when first arrested. After his hearing Hamilton was returned to the county jail. Hamilton s first night In tail was spent in the office of a deputy sheriff. wnere a Dea was mads lor him. This apparent favoritism shown Hamilton bv the sheriff has wrmirht tin th. nun. pie of Olympla artd is severely criticised on every hand.

HA D INSTRUCTIONS TO YOTE FOR FRANCHISE When, at the meeting of the Central Labor council at 208 First street last night, Councilman W. T. Vaughn stated he was hot In fnvor of the new fran chise granted the Portland Railway, Light & Power company over the veto of the mayor at the meeting of the council Wednesday night, but voted for It as Instructed by the push club, H. G. Parsons, owner of a small home In the district that will be most affected by the franchise, questioned trie source of Vaughn's Instructjons and further Wild he beiieved Councilman Vaughn was instructed bty speculators, who would be greatly benefited by the fran chise, instead of the owners of homes on the peninsula. Mr. Parsons said he was certain that all of the residents who live on what is known an the Peninsula and who are owners of homes instead of real estate for Mpectilatlon, are in favor of the referendum on the franchise, which Is being printed and circulated about the city for signers. Parsons was applauded. Over on the Peninsula the citizens are said to be progressive, and as a result have several push clubs. They are however, under one central heail that has met at a place known to all, but It is rumored that at the last meeting when Councilman Vaughn received his Instructions to vote for the franchise the meeting was held at a new place! and only about 10 members of the vari ous push clubs who knew of the change were present.

J. Dlshman takes first prize, all the gold medals and a few cups thrown in. Mr. Dlshman was the com plaining witness In a larceny case against Charles Meyer, an aged man. charged with the theft of 17 chickens in Sulli van's gulch on Wednesday night. He stated on the wit ness stand in police court this morning that not only could he Identify any chicken that he had seen several times, but that he did this from the expression on tho face of the hen, which, he stated, differed as much as do the faces of human beings. John Upton, attorney, acted forMr. Meyer, and he objected strenuously to Mr. Dishman's method of identification. He demanded to be told what were the peculiar characteristics of this or that chicken, and once had the witness worried when he demanded the name of a hen. Deputy District Attorney Hen nessey, however, came to the rescue with the suggestion that the name was Maud, and the point was passed. But the feature was when a hen. devoid of feathers or head, was exhibited and Mr. Dlshman was asked If that were his. "It Is," came the unexpected an swer. "How do you know?" "Byj the legs," Insisted Dish-" mart, and the court had to rap soundly to restore order. Meyer was sentenced to ' SO days In - the county jail.

Learning that a garage, an orna mental fountain and other movable firoperty on the new county hospital site s South Portland was being moved away by representatives of the former owner, Mrs. C. E. Smith, the county commissioners took steps today to stop any further removal of what they re gard as county property. Thev will also demand the return of what has been taken, or the equivalent in cash. County Relief Officer Carr and Com missioner Llghtner have both paid hur ried visits to the place since these re- forts came in.

I'nder the terms of sale of the prop erty, for which the county paid $f0,000, the county was to be given possession May 1. but the Smith family is only now moving out.

It is evident that Gov ernor Hay is back of the whole matter, and no one will venture to state where he proposes to stop. There are those who profess to believe that the probe of the inquisitorial body will even extend to toe supreme bench, of the state.
