Thessaly, Professor Richter. a German explorer, in a letter received here to day, Implores his friends or the Turk ish government to. pay the reward and secure hia release. : The bandits demand 175,000 ransom for their prisoner. The Turkish troops, ft is said, are strongly opposed to -complying with the demands of the outlaws. Professor Richter Is one of the most" famous German archaeologists He was pursuing hia Investigations along this line when captured by the Turkish ban- Preparations for early construction of the monster packing plant which will be- built on the Peninsula by Schwarx Bchlld & Sulzberger of Oregon, are being rushed. Work on the foundation plans have already started. The main building of the new plant will be four stories after the first portion Is completed. The contracts calling for the' con struction of the plant have already been signed In Chicago by Sulzberger A Son, owners of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger of Oregon, and the head officials of SWlft & Co. The papers are now en route to this city and will be signed by President C. C. Colt of the Union Meat company and J. L. Sterrett, presi dent of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger of Oregon. The fact that the plant must be ready for operation within a year, calls for very quick work of construction forces and for that reason it Is under stood that a large number of men are at present engaged in drawing plans for the machinery, which will be In stalled as the building construction work progresses, instead of waiting until the plant is completed. The formal entrance of the Schwarzs child & Sulzberger company Into Port land, has created much comment among the livestock trade. For awhile. It was feared that' the plant would be con structed elsewhere on account of the difficulties at arriving at a site selec tion hera, It was generally understood that the big Independent packing con cern had taken an option on the plant of a Tacoma meat packer, which would probably have .been taken up had the negotiations here for a site fallen through.' . The Schwarzschild & Sulzberger com pany purchased a large packing house at Loa Angelea and with the addition of the modern equipment at Portland, will be able to circle the entire coun try with Its product The company has always been known aa the biggeet in dependent meat packing concern In -the United States and for that reason it haa assured Portland of being a com peting point for the sale -of live stock. - . - n (Special r!och to The Journal, k Corvallls, Or.. June 6. In the opin ion of the- coroner's Jury, Mrs. Eliza Griffith, whose body was found in Rock creek near Philomath Saturday morn ing, met death through strangling by parties unknown. The Jury, In session In this city all day yesterday viewed the, body as dissected by a local sur geon and heard the evidence of a dozen witnesses, relying largely on the evi dence Of Dr. Newth of Philomath, who examined the body shortly after It was taken from the water. Dr. Newth gave It as his opinion that the bruises on the back of each wrist. ; at the aides and back of the neck and beneath the ear lobes were caused by a rope, ' probably by the rope picked up from the bank of the stream near the spot at which the body was found. Evidence Introduced by women living In the vicinity of Mrs. CJrlfflth's home tended to show that the woman had be come afraid of some person or. person seen about the community and that sh feared for her life. This fear had worked on her mind in such a way that only a few days before her death Bhe had sold the homestead on which she had lived 21 years, Intending tn come to Corvallls in September. In the deal a 31000 cafh payment had been made. The evidence snowed that the Griffith home had been turned topsy turvy. The bureau drawers had been rifled, the carpet turned up, purees searched and every effort made to discover the 11000. It Is confidently believed, however, the monev had been Ranked. Suspicion points to a unnamed per son supposed to be half wltteri. who haa been seen about the vicinity of (he Griffith homestead. The woman's- body was carried a quarter of a mile from the home to be deposited in less than three feet of water at the Henkle dam, Rock creek, which strengthens the belief that the murderer -could not have been strong mentally. The coroner's Inquiry, conducted by District Attorney Clark, ' was exhaus tive. The body of Mrs. Griffith was burled yesterday In the Kings Valley cemetery. She was aged 66 years and was trie mother of three Portland wo men Mrs. Iva Craig, Mrs. Ella Huff man and Mrs. Blanche Huffman. An other daughter. Mrs. Llllle Fink. Uvea at sneridan.
