Terrible Crime in CMcap. of a' Former
Resident of TMs City. '
SHOT HIS LADY LOVE AND HIMSELF
The Young Girl Died Instantly and the
Doctors Say. His Condition is
Critical.
Chicago, April 1. Miss Effie Clark,
of Spokane, Wash., a member of the
freshman class of the Northwestern uni
versity, was tonight shot and instantly
killed by E. Ross Smith, aged 26. Un
til recently Smith was also a resident of
Spokane. Smith, after shooting' Miss
Clark, shot himself in the head, inflict
ing a fatal wound. The' cause of
the murder was the refusal of the
young lady to entertain Smith's pro
posal of marriage. Smith had been an
ardent suitor for the hand of Miss Clark,
but his attentions was repulsed by her
parents and herself. He was eo persist
ent that, in a final effort to escape his at
tentions. Miss Clarkr who was 19 years
old, was sent to the Northwestern' uni
versity. Shortly after her arrival in
Evanston, Smith put in an appear
ance, and had been tireless in
his attempt to win the young
woman for his wife. This evening he
called upon Miss Clark and persuaded
her to take a walk with him. She was
accompanied by her roommate,. Miss
Abernathy, who. was the only witness to
the tragedy. Smith urged his suit again,
but without success, and tried to get the
young lady away from her companion.
She refused to go till Smith said he had
something to tell her in confidence.
They stepped off a short distance, and
Smith at once drew a revolver and fired
five shots at her. . One bulletenteredher
left ear and another passed through her
left side. Smith then turned the weapon
againBt himself and sent a bullet through
his head. Miss Clark was removed to a
neighboring house, but expired in a few
minutes.- Smith was taken to the police
station, where, before lapsing into un
consciousness, he said :
"I shot her. She wouldn't marry me,
so I shot her."
The doctors pronounced the - young
murderer's condition as hopeless, though
he may live a few hours.
Spokane, April 1. A dispatch from
Illinois, received tonight, reports the
murder of Miss Effie Clark by a rejected
suitor. Miss Clark, who was attending
school at the university at Evanston, is
a daughter of the Rev. Nelson E. Clark,
a wealthy and retired minister of this
city. A Review reporter who called at
the home of Rev. Mr. Clark found the
family in possession of the news of the
tragedy. They were so grief-stricken
that it was difficult to obtain information
from them. It was learned that the
young man who killed Miss Clark was
E. Ross Smith, formerly of Portland and
the son of Shipbuilder Smith, of tbe
firm of Smith & Paquet. He is study
ing medicine in Unicago. lbe couple
had been engaged until six weeks ago,
when Miss Clark broke the engagement.
surra's father ixtebkiewed.
The father of the young man referred
o in the above dispatch is Benjamin
F. Smith, a resident of Sellwood and a
member of the ship-building firm of
Pacquet & Smith, of this city. He was
on his way home about 11 o'clock, when
his son, C. S. Smith, a conductor on the
Sellwood motor line, handed him a dis
patch, which read: "Your son, E. Ross
Smith, dangerously shot. Can possibly
live three or four hours." It was signed
by the chief of police of Chicago.
"I went home and told my wife and
then came down town with my son
Charlie," said the almost heart-broken
father, when seen a little later : at . the
St. Charles hotel. "I at once tele
graphed to Chicago for particulars," he
continued after a slight pause, "and am
now waiting for an answer."
He was at once acquainted with the
lull particulars of the affair. When he
learned that his son had shot Miss Clark,
be leaned against the wall for support
and murmured:
"My God ! My God ! and he shot the
girl ! How can I ever tell his mother?"
After the shock of tbe awful news had
left him a little calmer he gave the fol
lowing facts in regard to his son :
"He was barn at Milwaukie and had
just entered his 26th year. He has al
ways been a model toy and the pride of
the family. He would never touch
liquor or tobacco, and had not a single
bad habit. For the greater part of the
past fourteen years he has teen attend
ing school. He was our oldest and not
very strong", so we let him do juet what
pleased him. He was greatly troubled
with the asthma, and thought that the
climate of Spokane would give him re
lief. He has resided there during the
past few years and graduated from a
college there. He always came home
for his vacations. ' After he finished
schooling I set him up in the plumbing
business at Spokane with a man named
Foot. He did well, but tired of it last
August, and, selling out, came home.
"While he was home he made up his
mind that he wanted to study medicine.
He went to Chicago and entered upon a
three' years' course in the Chicago medi
cal college. ' I paid all of his expenses
and furnished him with all the money
he needed. And now that it should
come to this! My God! I can't under
stand it! The boy's mother told me
that he was engaged to this Miss Clark,
and he mentioned in his letters for he
wrote frequently that he had called up
on her there."
Mr. Smith telegraphed to Chicago
that should his son die to have tbe body
embalmed and sent home. C. S. Smith
almost heart-broken over his
brother's awful crime. He gave the
facts in regard to his brother substan
tially ihe same as his father has done..
Tbe family is one of the best known in
the Willamette valley.
THE YOUNG LADY'S FAMILY.
Nelson E. Clark, 'the father of the
dead girl, is one of the best-known
Methodist divines in the Northwest. He
was an early settler, and has held charg
es in almost every town of importance
in the Willamette valley. Seven years
ago he lived in Eugene. - About that
time be retired from tne ministry and
removed to Spokane, where he has since
resided. He has been very fortunate in
in his worldly affairs, and was reputed
to be quite wealthy. Miss Clark was
young when she left Oregon, but even
at that time gave promise of developing
into a more than ordinarily beautiful
woman, being a decided brunette.

INATTENTIVE HODSE MEMBERS-
A New York Congressman Thinks Their
Writing Desfcs Should Ea Taken Away.
"There is but one way in which this
can be made a decent legislative body,"
said a member irom ixew xorictoa
Washington Post reporter as he sur- .
veyed the house and heard one man
speaking while one hundred and sixty
six others chewed gum or rustled pa
pers, "and that way is to take from the
members their desks. They should be
given no opportunity to write while
legislative business is on tap. If placed
upon straight, hard benches with noth
ing to do save talk or listen they would
know more of what is going on. Long-,
long ago the English realized this fact.
In the house of commons there is never
disturbance of any kind unless an ex
tremely heated and factional debate is
on. Everybody in the chamber hears
what the man who has the right of way
is saying.. If the members wish to
write or read the newspapers or swap
yarns that used to be funny many aeons
ago they go into a room provided for
that purpose. I am not much of an
Anglomaniac myself. In fact, I think
that cockney immigration ought to be
permanently barred. But there are
things other than trousers that we
might copy from England and be noth
ing the worse for it."

cidentally locked in, and his comrades
all went off to school. Finding himself a
prisoner, instead of sitting down and cry
ing our youngster first built up the arti

a window, which he promptly smashed.
Next he threw out the various articles,
which he could lift until the pile out

from the window, when he climbed out
and dropped to the pile. He was near

he wasn't going to take any chances of

high window.' ' '
