today.
Murphy, the stabber. lives at No. 83
Joy street. Somerville. He is a mar
ried man with three children. He has
worked for the company four years
and has always been regarded by Su
perintendent W. P. Liston as a sober,
steady and industrious man. He is
short, stocky and powerfully built
From hU occupation of cutting; heads
off swine he had acquired a fierce dex
terity with the nine inch beheading
knife. One cut and the head was sev
ered. At 1 o'clock this afternoon Murphy
went Insane. He was working on a
slightly elevated platform on the sev
enth floor of the factory with 125 other
workmen. At that moment Dr. Daniel
B. Hayes of Waltham, the government
meat" Inspector at the factory, came on
his usual rounds. lie spoke casually
to Murphv. The "pig-header's" brain
snapped. He took his usual mechanical
plunge at the row of swine carcasses
s he started down from his platform,
and without warning plunged his knife
Jnto Dr. Hayes' groin. The doctor stag
gered. Second Wound Mortal.
The blow attracted no attention on
account of the roar of pig-moving ma
chinery. As a matter of fact the sight
of a man flourishing a knife was about
the last thing to be taken notice of.
Dr. Hayes had not received a death
wound, so Murphy aimed another blow
st him. eatrhlnr him over the heart.
The nine-Inch blade bit cruelly deep
and Dr. Hayes sank to the oor with a
wound that Is said to be fatal.
Other workmen turned and ran to
ward the maniac. With great agility
he darted toward the doorway leading
to the six flights of stairs to the
Street.
Gory Trail to the Basement.
Throuitn the terrified employes on
the sixth floor, then down to the fifth,
the fourth, the third, the second and
then to the ground floor, he maniac
ran. hie shrieks spreading terror, and
whenevrr a nun stood berore him the
knife flashed and the victim fell. In
nil six men fell to the knife before
i In- liaFement was reached, where, sur
rounded by the now desperate work
man, the madman turned to bay.
Hemmed In by furious crowds and
still shrieking wildly. Murpny dared
thrin to come on. His challenge was
B' c p;itid by one unknown Italian, who
flashed in with a roller and felled the
iiKinlitc to the floor with a sweeping
Mow. Hut no sooner was Murphy
!i.wn than he sprang up again, and
striking rlcht and left, broke through
the ring' that surrounded him and fled
to apnther. part of the basement Be

Jmli'us. his heart almost split with a
thrust of the huge' knife, and Chevas
whose right arm was almost severed'

the side. Within a few minutes Jen
lcus was 'still. And then the crowd
drew In agatn.
Disarmed by One Brave Man.
Hut they dared, not come close. Bloody
and furious, the madman stood firm the
huge weapon with which he cut the
heads from hogs with a single blow,
clutched In his hand. The crowd gave
way. but before the police, who had been
summoned, arrived, some unknown hero
took heart and Just as the bluecoats ap
peared, he jumped in and felled Murphy
again, this time knocking the deadly
knife from hla hands. Before the ma-1
nlao could ' regain possession ' of ' his
weapon the police were upon him and it
was only after a desperate battle during
which he was clubbed almost Into un

When the dead and dying were carried
out there was a lam of women and chil
dren who tried to discern the forms of
their loVed ones but all were so covored
with blood that they were almost unrec
ognizable. From the first moment it was seen
that there wmm riot a chance for any to
live. Murphy's hujre knife had in every
case dealt a fatal blow. Some of the
bodies of the dead were almost cleft
In two and the bodies were deeply cut
In vital parts.
Without the loss of time, however, the
dead and dying were rushed to a hospi
tal, while Murphy, still howling, was
taken to a cell.
It Is said Murphy has for some time
held a grudge against the management
of the place and this Is thought to be
the- basis of the maniacal outburst
whiclr resulted in the bloodiest crime
by one man in the history of New king
land.

come to the convention instructed to
elect Mr. Padberg president, but having
given up that thought considered the
vice presidency due to the state.
What hopes Missouri might have had
of securing a bational officer were
blasted when Mr. Padberg rose to de
cline the nomination. He thanked the
Vfianmirl delegation but favored the
equitable distribution of honors. He
said he had formerly been vice president
and even now was a director. He de
clined to allow his name to go before
the oonventlon.
&UX Unanimously Elected.
Minnesota's soil as fertile in the pro
duction of national officers was the
principal point in the short address J
J. r.rlmpi of Cincinnati. Ohio, who sec-
nAmA tha nomination of Mr. Lux. Mr.
Coons of Washington again restored
order after a doien or more had at
tenuated to second Mr. Lul l nomlna
tlon, by introducing a motion that the
election be considered unanimous. The
delegates voclferoualy agreed and the
motion adopted, following the declara
tion or the election 01 tne ai. i-aui
ur rrme r
Close upon the few remarks which
Mr. Lux made in response to demands
of the delegates, came the election of
secretary, uaiirorivia gave wa yto unio,
and El d. Ashlev nomlnted John A.
Green, who for the past two years has
acted in that capacity and who for two
years prior to that time was president
of the association. The wildest cheer
ing of the convention which followed
the nomination of Mr. Green evidenced
the Dooularlty of the secretary. Yells
and cheers continued for several min
utes.
J. R. Newberry of Los Angeles. Cal.
seconding the nomination, said: "It is
the proper time and proper place for
California to give the most valuable
servant of the association his due. He
has given everything to upbuild the as
sociation. And we love him because we
believe him truo." Thunderous ap
plause followed.
Mr. Coon to the Tore.
J. J. Hleglns of Seattle. Wash., fol
lowed by a score of others, seconded
the nomination, with the result that Mr.
Coon was again prompted to rise and
urge me necessity or nasie, recommenc
ing that the- convention adopt a resolu
tion declaring the election unanimous.
His advice was followed. Then came
more oheers and whistling. Called upon
for a speech, Mr. Green said:
"Many times I have questioned the
advlslblllty of my staying longer with
the National association as secretary,
but when 1 go from state to state and
meet men who represent the retail
grocers of the country, and see what
earnestness and faithfulness they man
ifest in the work I gather Inspiration
and encouragement wnlch compels me
to go on.
"I can not promise more than that
which I have. I would do anything to
advance the Interests of the retail gro
cers, and to them I desire to state that
harmony, unanimity and oneness of pur
pose among them can move anything or
make any condition which they may see
fit to obtain.
"I beg that you will give myself and
the remainder of the officers that sup
port which Is so necessary to achieve
results. We can secure the legislation
or anything we may desire.
"With heart overflowing with grati
tude I thank you over and over again."
Deafening cheers continued for several
minutes.
All ror Schwab.
Frank Connolly of San Francisco,
Cal., placed in nomination the name of
Henry W. Schwab of Milwaukee, Wis.,
for national treasurer. The name of the
Wisconsin forced more applause. Mr.
Padberg in a short speech seconded the
nomination. The multitude of seconds
compelled Mr. Coon to make the usunl
motion that the election be declared
unanimous.
H. St. Johns of Colorado nominate!
A. H. Harth of Arvada. Colo., for the
office of director to sucefpd Mr. Pad

tlve had lalrlv finished iDeakinc and
asked that the selection and time of the
'convention be left In the hands of the
executive board. Greeting his sugges
tion came a swelling murmur of disap
proval from all over the haU.
Every one stood at the same time, de
manding recognition. All tried to talk
at once, and caustic speech flew back
and forth. Mr. Newberry sat down,
rose and sat down again, completely
nonplussed by the excitement which h
simple suggestion had brought on.
J. F. . Paulding of Los Angeles, Cal.,
saved the day by declaring that the con
vention had railed to thank properly tne
retiring officers, and a rislnar voto was
given tor Mr. Kramer ana Mr. auoerg.
Three cheers were given for both, at
different times.
Past President Kramer Interjected a
few remarks. He told the delegates that
trie ract that salaries had not been paia
to officers of the organization was a
disgrace. He said he was not talking
for himself, but for those who had
served in the past and needed the small
sums which the association had set
aside for their pay, but never turned
over. He arraigned members of the as
sociation severely for not paying the
per capita tax.
Believes In Contest.
J. J. Ryan. St. Paul, started the nexl
convention city battle. He made a mo
tion that the selection of the city be left
In the hands of the national officers.
Yells of disapproval reproved him.
Mr. Newberry felt that there should
be more of a contest for the convention
between the different statea "We do
not merely want an Invitation," he said,
"but desire to visit some city next year
where we know the importance of a na
tional convention of retail grocers will
be thoroughly appreciated. " He thought
It better to place the matter with the
executive board until a. contest should
develop.
C. M. Lees. Bait Lake City, Utah, said
he was "most strenuously opposed to
such action," and Mr. McAtee, repre
senting Springfield, was given an op
portunity to deliver an eulogy of his
home city. He formally Invited the del
egates to convene at Springfield on be
half of the business men's association,
all citizens, and more particularly the
retail grocers. Three thousand dollars
has already been raised to entertain the
delegates. One unfortunate remark he
msde was that Springfield was In "the
center of the corn belt."
"You say it is in the renter of the
corn belt," repeated Mr. Coon. "If you
can assure us that we will find an
abundance of the Juice of the corn 1 will
vote for Springfield."
invitation rrora Utah.
C. M. Lees of Utah then delivered an
Invitation on behalf of the retail grocers
and citizens of Utah that the convention
be held in Palt Lake City. He consid
ered it the logical point, and had got
ten well Into his talk when J. H. llell
wig, of Hayward. Wis., extended an In
vitation on behalf of the citizens, town
commit teo, volunteer fire department
and village band of hid town.
For his part, exclaimed Mr. Newberry,
he wns willing that the convention be
held In Salt Lake City. iH'CH use he un
derstood that "one Is allowed tin afflnhy
thrt" .T F. Pauldina- of Los Angeles
declared himself In favor of the Utah
capital because he knew Mr. Newberry
needed an affinity.
Mentioning Springfield, r. J. iayron
of Akron. Ohio, believed Its invitation
the only one or tne tnree cities men
tloned recognizing the importance 6t
the national convention. Mr Lukenblll
of Missouri believed with Mr. Dayton.
- President Sullivan quelled a riery ac
hate which threatened to commence, by
declaring that he didn't consider it
f roper for any or tne delegates 10 nouni
he aanutneness of the invitations of
either Salt Lake City or Hayward.

The vote, which finally came, result

IS. Most of the votes for Haywara were
complimentary and were received with
laughter. The selection of the Illinois
city was later declared unanimous and
Mr MAiea thanked the delegates.
Later Mr. Connolly was appointed
chairman of the committee on the main
tenance of selling prices, ana a resolu
tion urging all delegates to inaugurate
n, nrntKtka aellin? nlan In all parts
of the country was unanimously adopted.
Advocating that all grocers urge tho
nassiFt lii rnnsrrens of a national law

gates delivered short taiKs. A motion
for the submission of such a resolution
to the different senators and congress
men wus unanimously ndopted.

WOULD TIE HANDS
OF PORTLAND TIGHT
V
Amendment,' If Carried .Will
Prevent City From Using
Modern Methods.
To enable Portland to continue en Its
present career of progress -and pros
perity it Unnecessary to vote 161 X NO.
Otherwise the city of Portland will be
prohibited from the use of any patented
article or process protected by trade
mark In the improvement of any street
highway or publio place. Have you con
sidered, Mr. Voter, what this will mean?
In the upbuilding of a city many arti
cles are needed which are patented. The
list is long, but to give a generil idea a
small number are here enumerated
Elevators. Portland cement, plumbing
fixtures, electric fixtures, modern gas
ourners, sanitary traps and ventilators,
toilets, fire alarm boxes, fire plugs, au
tomatic sprinkling systems, engines,
Fumps and valves, sewer boxes, reen
orced pipes, window fasteners, door
closers, improved roofing, flooring and
f Mastering. The list could be continued
ndefinltely.
While private individuals have the
right to use the most Improved conven
iences, appliances and articles, the city
Is prohibited, and if the amendment car
Ties there is the prospect of the munic
ipal government being behind the times.
Is there a private corporation in Port
land which refuses to avail itself of an
article because It bears a patent or a
trade mark? Certainly not The city of
Portland is the largest corporation In
the state of Oregon, and yet there Js an
attempt to prevent It from making use
of the same trade mark and patented ar
ticles that up to date and enterprising
private corporations and concerns pur
chase. Those east slders who want one or
more bridges should study this anti-patent
anti-trade mark amendment. The
amendment as will be seen, bears di
rectly on the bridge question. Every
modern style draw bridge is covered
by patent. If the brldgo propositions
are successful and the anti-patent meas
ure carries, thn latter nullifies the for
mer, for the anti-patent amendment pro
hibits the use of a patented article on a
street improvement or highway, and a
bridge Is essentially a highway. This
Is a point for bridge advocates to con
sider. If you want bridges vote Ifil X NO.
TT you want competition in street Im
provements, vote ifil X NO. If you
want Portland to keep In the front rank,
have 500,000 In 19U. and be a credit to
the community, vote 1C1 X NO.
Only by defeating this proposed
amendment to article IV, chapt r VI of
the charter, enn Portland continue Its
wave of prosperity. To prohibit tho use
of patented articles and trade marked
material deprives the city of many
things which th" fsninllest town In the
country takes advantage of. Also, the
prohibition of patented articles will re
sult in a trust In many lines for compe
tition will be barred
The Taxpayers' league, composed of
tho moHl renponp i t I citlzoi-s In l'ort
land, nun who roprrsrpt millions of In
vested Vapll.-il, and who b;ivo the ad
vancement of the citv nt heart, stronelv
recommend voters to vote 161 X N .
The Taxpayers' league pays this amend
ment might as well recommend the abol
ishment of the patent laws. The
press too, recommends you to vote ltil
X NO. Kveryone who has studied this
amendment unites that It Is had policy,
and will work an Injury to Portland.
Vote Ifil X NO. J O 1IOYT,

Portland was highly praised by the

rising vote or thanks was given, besides
the adoption unanimously of a resolu

and people of the state of Oregon, the
retailers of the citv and Ftut. the r.rcss

Six Solid Carloads of Genuine Pianola Pianos
Six solid carloads of Genuine Pianola Pianos, all of them the latest styles,
were shipped to Eilers Piano House through an awkward misunderstanding on
the part of our buyer and the manufacturers.
Rather than to return the bigger portion of these instruments to the fac
tories at additional cost for freight charges, insurance, etc., we have decided to
accept them. All of these instruments will be displayed at Eilers Piano House
during the coming week.
Never heretofore, not even in New York,-has it been possible to show such
a tremendous number of latest Pianola Pianos of each of the various styles and
in the various superb and costly woods and finishes' used only by the world-renowned
makers of this magnificent art product. ' -
. The second floor of our building will be devoted this week to the display
and sale of these truly wonderful instruments. . , .
Never; again will Portland witness a showing of so extensive and superb a
variety of styles and designs.
If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, an in strument by means of
which every member of the family can produce the best of -piano' music, an in
strument which will prove the greatest source of entertainment and education '
in any home or club or lodge or other social organization, now is the time to see
about it at Eilers Piano House, Retail Department, "the always busy corner" at
Park (Eighth) and Washington streets.
