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.
Greater Portland Plan,
r A committee of which F. A. 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.
