Teamster Shot by Fellow
Employe Declares Himself
Somewhat to Blame for
TragedySheriff Calls in
Posse.
William M. 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Stevens: has withdrawn all of his depu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

Many Declare Commerce Is
Handicapped by Sub
merged Mains.
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.

takes first prize, all the gold

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

rescue with the suggestion that
the name was Maud, and the
point was passed.

Hamilton Case Has Ramifi
cations in,a.t Least Two
Other Offices, It Is Al
legedExecutive Mansion
Deal Questioned.
.(United Press LeMd Wire.)
Olympla, Wash., May . As the result
of recent exposures of irregularities In
state otfices, a campaign of Investiga
tion has been started that is -today ex
pected to include almost every state
official at the capltol, as well as cer
tain men whose terms of office have
expired. '
At present the plan of the legislative
ROmtnltteA. aa muAm nnhlin InHov in
cludes within Us scope an investigation
of former Governor Albert B. Mead,
former Btate Treasurer George D. Mills,
son-in-law of Judge M. J. Gordon of
Spokane, and C. W. Claussen, present
state auditor.
The proposed Investigation of Mead
and Mills Is the outcome of a cursory
examination of the new executive man
sion. Mead and Mills approved the rav
menpof $26,000 for this building. It is
alleged that this is excessive.
irt addition to an investigation In con
nection with the building of the gover
nor's residence, former Governor Meade
may also be asked to explain to the
committee, It is said, why he allowed
his name to be stamped on former Ad
jutant General Hamilton's vouchers
without making an effort to assure him
self that the state was getting value
received.
Involved with Mead In this matter Is
C. W. Claussen, who, as state auditor,
passed on the Hamilton vouchers with
out, it is alleged, giving them more
than mere formal attention.
it is understood that Claussen wilt
also be required to explain certain mat
ters In connection with his alleged pro
longed absence from 'duty at various
times.
Today the Investigating committee is
atr Medical Lake Investigating the East
ern Washington Insane asylum. At the
last session of the legislature Senator
Hutchinson of Spokane made formal
charges of Incompetency In the con
struction of the buildings at the asy
lum. The charges were directed par
ticularly toward Chairman Jones of the
lata board of control.
There are rumors in the capltol today
that State Land Commissioner Ross will
bo called upon by the Investigating com
mittee to explain certain matters con
nected with the conduct of his office.
Koas was Investigated tQ years ago
but nothing of Importance was devel
oped. "How far will this Investigation go."
Is the query heard on all sides in
Olympla today. 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.

That Inferior Brand of
Mixture Is Being Used.

mittee of the executive board this morn
ing to Investigate the use by the city

can only say," declared Mr. Taylor,
"that this cement has been tested by my
inspectors repeatedly and it meets the
requirements. When the Golden Gate
Cement company first put its product
on tne marKet here, tne cement old not
meet the 'boiling test.' but It nas since
then come up to the standard and I have
been forced to permit its use."
