This la the seventh day of Portland'
extremely hot spell and all records at I
the weather bureau have been broken. I
For two hours yesterday afternoon,
from 3 to 5, the mercury stood at 97
degrees, and Portland people sweltered
Thousands of them spent most of the
day In the parks. Last evening 6000

the city, which was' the coolest spot In
Portland.
"We can't forecast when the hot spell
will break," said Weather Observer
Beals. "This spell Is the longest and
hottest the city has ever experienced.
Judging from past- records w think
that weather not so hot is near at hand.

, In 1888 the city sweltered for as
many days, but the weather was not
quite so warm. In 1875 there was a
hot spell, but It lasted only -six days.
This spell is on Its seventh day with
no indication of immediate" relief.
A storm of complaint went up yes
terday from people who visited' City
park to ,esope the seorehlng heti .-because
tbe drinking fountains that In
former years furnished nice cool water
for the thirsty had been removed. All
fountains In the vicinity of the band
stand around which the bulk of the
Sunday crowd loves to linger had been
removed and this caused many to draw
the conclusion that the removal of the
fountains had been done In the Interest
of the refreshment stand.
As a result of the removal of the
fountains, people who did not feel In
clined to patronize the refreshment
stand quenched their thirst the best
they could from the water that la fed
the wading pool fot children, but with
much Inconvenience because there was
no drinking cup and the thirsty ones
had to He on the ground and sip from
the pipe with their faces almost, touch'

The nearest fountain was that along
the path to the menagerie and It car
ried so little water that It failed to
serve its intended purpose. Many who
went there to drink believed that the
water had been turned on sparingly to
fruther Increase the demand for pre
pared beverages. .The fountain down
by the Washington . street entrance
carried water freely.
Complaints were also voiced against
the wretched condition of the lava
tories.

New York, July 17. With three dead

New York today faces a visitation of

that his subordinates in one case closed

Naples, via Paris, July 17. Italy's

cholera epidemic -in most of the Medi

One of the gravest dangers Is that,

threat develop Into fact, It Is probable
that the disorder resulting would fur

Cooler weather Is the only solution
for water shortage until the new pipe

at the city water department, where
Superintendent Dodge and Engineer
.Clark are keeping close tab on the
water consumed and the amount avail

little significance, as affecting the pres

bring enough water to the city from
Bull Run to supplv the old reservoirs.

as they aid in distribution.

By A. H. Harris.
(Rpeelnl to The Journal.)
Olympia. Wash , July 17. If Swan
Peterson, wanderer upon the face of the
earth, did not kill Arthur Coble and his
wife at Rainier last Monday, he Is sur
rounded by a combination of circum
stances that only Peterson himself or
Providence can explain. Silently wait
ing In the county Jail Peterson seems
to understand the horrible charge pre
ferred against him, but he has no Idea
of the Incriminating evidence that he
must face.
Peterson was born in Sweden, August
29, 1850, thus being nearly 61 years of
age He speaks badly broken English,
yet he admits having been in this coun
try most of his life. His story, dis
connected and fragmentary, has to do
with but few events In his Ufa He
says he knows nothing of his family
further than his mother la dead. He
has never married and has no recol
lection of ever having a home or home
ties.
Blood Spots to Explain.
Peterson will be required to explain
the presence of blood spots on his shirt,
on his drawers and on hla shoes. On
a blue work shirt were found spots of
blood, apparently deposited by spatter
ing from a sudden Jet of blood. On the
cheap drawers worn by Peterson, In the
region of the thigh, a bloody patch as
large as a grain of corn was discovered.
On the Inside of the right shoe, on the
top edge of the sole, two clots of blood
were found, apparently' dry enough to
have been-deposited a week ago. The
chemical examinations of these blood
prints by C. C. Cathey of Portland
shows. Dr. Cathey -declares, th presence
oi numan , wood on these- garments,
whrla no evidence of tHe' blood could
b seen by the unaided eye except in
the ease of the shoes.
A TowsL Also Bloody.
A handkerchief was found in the
bundle carried by Peterson. Th hand
kerchief Is of white muslin such as wo
men usually use, and on one corner la
embroidered the letter M. Near the
center of the handkerchief is a hole
about th size of a silver quarter ap
parently cut with a sharp edged tool.
With th handkerchief la a piece of
toweling which had been recently
washed. On this a number of splotches
of blood were found. The tests for
bloodprlnts were entirely satisfactory to
the officials who were present during
tne interesting experiments and proved
the value of Cathey brothers' scheme
of tracing indistinct bloodprlnts even
after an effort had been made to ob
literate them by washing.
rtrson's Xobo Outfit.
Swan Peterson's bundle Is the best
evidence that his story of wandering
and of no home attachments Is true.
He carried a large canvas bag In which
were the following articles, the "work
ing" outfit of practically every har
vest field hobo: A well burned oyster
csn. soap, salt, tin cup, spoon, knife,
fork, plepan, two and a half candles,

a pair of heavy woolen mitts, box of
salve, two pair of woolen sox, an extra
vest. Jumper, extra blue shirt, towels.
Including roller towel freshly washed,
three bandana handkerchiefs and one
woman's white handkerchief, an extra
hat, a Swedish bible and a Swedish
hymnbook and an unused four-ln-hand
tie.
Peterson was taken to view the bodies
of Arthur Coble and his wife this fore
noon. He maintained th same stolid
indifference thst has characterized his
denials of any knowledge of the crime.

Tells of Conversation He
Heard Aboard Train.
(United Pre Leased Win.)
Washington, July 17. Thst C. F.
Welhe. a Chicago lumberman, sub
scribed $10,000 to the 8100,000 "slush
fund" to elect William Lorimer to the
United States senate or that he said
he did was sworn today befor the
Lorimer senate investigating committee
by William Burgess, an electrical con
tractor of Duluth.
Welhe Is secretary of the Edward
Htnes Lumber company, whose presi
dent is said to have been collector of
the "slush fund" and who was first
named when the expose came in Chi
cago. Burgess named Rudolph, John and
Carl Weyerhaeuser, the lumber king's
sons, and "a young man named Johnson
from Canada," as fellow passengers with
him in the smoker af the Winnipeg flyer
between Duluth an" Virginia, Minn., on
the night of March. 8 last. The party, he
swore, dwindled until 'Burgees, Johnson
and Weihe alone remained. Burgees did
not know Welhe's. Identity at the time.
"I think the conversation drifted to
Lorimer," said Burgess. "I sald .it was
generally believed that Lorimer had
spent a large sum, of money to secure
his election to the senate. Welhe broke
Into: 'You don't know very damned
much about. Lorimer did not spend any
of his own money. A Jackpot was
raised for that purpose. I know what I
am talking about, because I subscribed
810,000 to It.'
'Welhe said the Jackpot amounted to
$100,000.
On cross examination Burgess de
clared that detectives who had been
employed to get evidence against Lori
mer went to Father Greene of Chicago
to get a confession. He declared the
priest said the detectives were doing
Lorimer an Injustice.
Burgess further testified that Weihe
told him thst a newspaper which em
ployed the sleuths telephoned Father
Greene threatening to publish his pic
ture full page size for his refusal to
"give up." The priest, Welhe said, re
plied if the paper did so it would re
duce Its circulation 80 per cent.

Tacoma, Wash., July 17. Although
up to this morning neither Sheriff
George Gaston, of Thurston county, or
Sheriff Robert Longmire, of Pierc
aounty, have been at all sure that Swan
Peterson Is the man wanted for the
Coble murder at Rainier last Monday
night, new evidence was discovered
this morning by one of Sheriff Long

much suspicion upon Peterson.
This deputy reported from the town
of Roy this morning that a man sup

afternoon and night at Roy. On Tues
day evening, he says, Peterson went to
the grub house of Betchert's mill to get
something to eat and while talking with
the men told them about the murder of
the Cobles at Rainier. As the discovery
of the murdera was not- made until 8
o'clock Tuesday evening and as Peter
