f THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND.' THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21,. 1911. DE MAND N NG ST. Horse Owners' Ass'n Takes Action; Sand Wagon to Be Tested Today. Bte-pa -ers taken by the Ilorseown m' association at a meeting last nlRht 1 la the Commercial club, to demand the opening of Northrup street to traffic. An appearance will be made both before tha council and tho Northern Pacific Terminal company. A. E. Whiteside, chairman of the Committee on street opening, reported that the railroad Interests had succeeded In occdtyinir all the streets In the vl .. dnity of the terminal yards. Most of them, he said, had been secured through vacations granted by the council. North- mo street alone was reserved for the use of the people and a crossing of It bag been made Impossible. The necessity of access to the riverfront at this point north of the union station was em phaslzed 'by the contractors and baggage and transfer men, present at tha uiftet . ing. Vest Band "Wag-on Today. Philip S. Bates, secretary of the as sociation, reported that the send sprink ling wagon for use pn slippery streets was to be tried out today. George A. Long of the Hawthorne stables said h would give the use of a team to haul the sand sprinkler, for two weeks, or until the city council has furnished horses. President Tucker of the asso ciation declared his belief that use of the sprinkler will save horse owners hundreds of dollars annually, beside protecting the animals from the fre quent strains alid Injuries that endanger them on frosty mornings, u Plans were made for participation In the fat stock, show which Is to be held t the Portland I'nlon Stockyards next March. Samuel Kramer suggested that there be held In Portland next March or April a draft horse parade In tho business center of the city. Ho was 'Of the opinion, and It was shared by other members of the association, that Portland can make a surprisingly good showing In handsome heavy horses.

Freeman, cashier of the Lumbermen's National Bank Is chairman, was appointed to de velop the1 plan, Tim members of tho association linioixd Intentlv to-an exposition of th Greater Portland plan. Landscape Arch Iteet Howard Evarts Weed and the sec r..i,,rv tho nreater Portland Plans as sonlAtloti, were the speakers. Colored slides Illustrating the plan were thrown upon a screen. The Importance 01 im nrovlne the street circulation of Port land was especially emphasized, as i inenns of ndvanclnff the Interests o H.osn who do hauling or transferring, How Portland may at small cost be systematically and Intelligently built aiul the units of natural city building adnptrd to a general plan, was also set forth. NEIGHBORS'RECALL STRANGE ACTIONS OF NATHAN HARVEY (Continued from Pago One.) thls family was among the first to bo eniiri to the Harvev home when the bodies were discovered. "Thcv lav there In their blood," said this mun yesterday, "both dead. I ex amincd the bodies of both, and the thing I have never been able to understand Is that Dan Harvey was shot through the back of the hoad. How he did It 1 have never been able to find out." W ith the death of his mother and of Dan, say the neighbors of the Harveys, Nathan Harvey came Into possession of the property they had held, subject to a jotnt right by the other brother, H lard Harvey. A few years later W'lllard Harvey was drowned in a strange man ncr at Mllwuultie. It was believed he had committed suicide. Another Atrocious Crime. The outraging and murder of Mamie Welch In the strawberry patch adjoining the Harvey home was another atrocious crime that took place almost under the doors of the Harvey house, and that was attributed to a member of that un happy family. A brother of Mrs. Har vey, named 'Wilson, was charged with the crime, and was taken to Portland to prevent his being lynched. One night ho was kept in the Armory and guarded by the state militia to prevent his being I taKen out ana nangea. liBier no was removed to the Clackamas county Jail, where he was found hanging one morn ing, huving committed suicide apparent ly by tearing his sheets Into strips and making a rope out of them. Dan Har vey spent tho greater part of the night with him and announced he had secured a complete confession. It Is said there Is hardly a worn. to 0ualiHciencx5eiitiment rJEET IN THE OLD FAVORITE be found In the vicinity of Ardenwold who has not been Insulted by Nathan Harvey. They say their custom was to warn new comers in the vicinity not to permit Harvey' to approach them. The testimony iof the eight residents of Ardenwold who1 were on the late train with Harvey the night bpfore the killing of the Hills will be Important, It is be lieved, in proving that Harvey not only purposely took the last train out of Portlarid for home arriving in Arden wold about 12:30, but when tho others started to walk home, he hung buck and remained around the station platform, declining the opportunity of having com pany on the walk from the station past tho Dclk and Hill homes to his own a distance of about one mile. May Bare Burned Clothing. T. V. Sluninn, a nurseryman at Mount Tubor, whom Harvey says he called upon the afternoon before the murder of the Hills, said today that Harvey culled on him a few days, though possibly the day before the iflurders. He says no business transaction was considered be tween them but that lie gave Harvey a bouquet for Mrs. llnrvey. Tho visit was made about 6 o'clock In the even ing, according to Sluman. It Is said that the prosecution will produce as a witness at the trial a rural mull currier who knows Harvey well, and who saw him at tho O. W. P. sta tion at First and Alder streets at 10:30 the night before tho murders. He said Harvey purposely stook back and did not take the 10:30 train. When he asked him why, he t,ays Harvey told him he did not know there was a 1 0 ; :t 0 train. The carrier asked Harvey if he could spend tho night with him, so as to get an early start on his way in the morn ing. He says Harvey told him to spend the night in Milwaukle, but asked him to stop at the Harvey house for break fast. The carrier did so and found a roaring fire in the kitchen stovo and breakfast ready, early on the morning of Juno 9. It has been suggested that if Harvey did commit the crimes charged to him. ho may have burned the clothing he wore that night In the stove. It Is said the suit Harvey wore In town the night before the Hills were killed has never been accoiinted for. GOVERNOR TO ASK .
