The significant feature of the great Re-

Si In opening the meetlng.Chalrman Lewis
stated there Would be three apeakers.
i three men who figured most prominently"
In the campaign this year. One would be
, Mr.. Furnish, "our next Governor"; an
other, Charles TV. Fulton, "our future
failed States Senator," and . the third.
George IL Williams, who was to be Port
' land' Mayor ,ln IK, during the great
- Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition,
man who had been a nation-saver and
secured th San' Juan Islands to the
;, Northwest Coast. Each announcement
- was -greeted with, demonstrative ap
plause. led by "Whit Boise.
judge Williams made a good speech,
' judged from th standpoint of stalwart
Republicanism.' As he warmed up, there
. wr Bashes of the old fire In th vsn
,' erable statesman, and despite his 89
years showed that there was a remnant
- or eid-tim vigor left In him. This was
particularly apparent In his appeal to
ounon ana anu-Bfmort ' Republicans to
bury nil differences and vote for Banker
Furnish . for- Governor, and so insure to
Oregon a good slat government. Th
Democrats," he said, "were not expected
to give any new reasons why a Republi
; can should hot be elected" Governor. They
-always Claimed that a ehahg was nee
' cflary -in . order to glvo the' people an
: honest and capable administration. Th
Issue, he said, was not a question of
, fees that is insignificant The one ques
tion fa. Shall th election of a Governor
of Oregon demonstrate to the people of
, th United State that th people of Ore
gon favor the principles of th Repiab
s lican party or are they opposed to
themT'
. Judge Williams claimed on his own be
half to be a friend of labor-that he had
been a working man himself, working for
12ft cents a day, and every dollar invest-
.: d In Ms education was earned by him
self. He had been a servant among serv
ants, and had sat at the right hand of
the President In the White House. He
j lo put in the claim that, as a member
;,f the Oregon constitutional convention,
he was the original supporter of the Ini
tially and referendum, now to bo voted
upon by the . people. Judge Williams
closed, by making a fervent appeal to all
dissatisfied Republicans to let the dead
past bury its dead, and vote for the ma
chine ticket.
About Morgan's Commissions.
, PORTLAND,' May lO.-Edltor Journal:
: Tour comparison in yesterday's Journal
Of wage of common laborers and Mr.
: Morgan's commissions brings out tho
nwful contrast In a shape to b partly
appreciated. I have not verified the es
timate of nearly 6000 men for 45 year
work, but presume It to.be approxlmat-
'y. correct One hundred and seventy
Ave millions 1 quite a commission, But
there is another way to look at It The
t earnings pf railroads and other, lines of
transportation alone are r-many times
t that per day. If Mr. Morgan or any
other man can figure up a plan to save
10, or 20 times that amount in expenses,
it seems no more than right under our
present system to pay him for pointing
; out ine way, as the saving m expenses
go on as long as the scheme la in use.
Suppose the postofflce of the different
, counties or states were run on the plan
of, the old style of railroad workings.

THE CANDIDATE
Ask Portland to Elect
the Senate,
: Senator Fulton followed In one of - hli
best oratorical effort. Chairman Lewis
again,-In Introducing him, presented the
-Eloquent gentleman from the arid plain
Of Clatsop County as "our next United
States Senator." Mr. Fulton blushed,
but bravely acknowledged that tho chair
man knew what.be was talking about,
then launched out with"- roseate descrip
tion of Banker Furnish' triumphal tour
through Southern Oregon and the . wild
uprising of th peopl. who traveled
scores of miles Just fpr the sake of shak
ing hand with htm. He took the oppor
tunity to say .pome nice things about
Judge Williams. . .
Mr. Fulton then turned the vials of his
wrath out upon the Democratic party
and everybody 'else not In sympathy
with the Jack Matthews ticket H
heaped fulsome praise on Banker Fur
nish as a man who would mak an Ideal
Governor. During his remarks the at
mosphere In th hall grew oppressive.
and on woman stopped the flow of ora
tory long enough to gasp out that mors
air was needed. This created aome
amusement, and Senator Fulton face
tiously remarked: "I suppose there ar
soma her who thlak I am giving them
a good deal of 'hot air.' "
FULTON OJ) FEES.
Regarding the abut of the fe sys
tem and the violation of tho law on th
part of state officials In drawing greater
salaries than provided for by th con
stitution. Mr. Fulton tamely defended it
and hinted If Chamberlain should be
elected Governor that he would be in a
horrible position himself, and, If th con-
tltuUenal limitation a to saarles' is, as
Chamberlain claims It Is, only apparent
and not real, he would Ilk to know what
the devil Chamberlain was roaring about
He does not seem to have any party, any
platform-, and fcr feavtog a hard time of
H. Mr. Fulton sandwiched the Philip
pine question' Into alt parts of his speech
and argued that toe Islands were Irre
trievably lost to the. United States should
Furnish be defeated a Governor of Ore
gon and Judge Williams fall tp become
Mayor of Portland. '
THE "MAN OF ACTION."
It was a stroke of diplomacy on the part
of th manager of th meeting to have
Banker Furnish, the man of action, last
on the list of speakers. The crowd wait
ed patiently to hear th gentlemen from
Pendleton. When h faced the audience
Banker Furnish did not show great self
possession, but displayed considerable
nervousness. He said only a few words,
set out no defined policy nor maintained
any principle. Al he said,, speaking In a
faltering, hesitating way. was:
"I won't attempt to make any speech.
Ton- have' already heard th best two
orator in the state, and I don't want to
mar your pleasur. I've been campaign
ing for 10 days, and, being a young man,
am free to sdmtt that I am fatigued. In
electing a Governor,- I think the people
merely select a business manager, and
the men chosen should attend to public
duty with th same care that he would
devote to his private affairs. If you elect
me, and I believe you will, I will care
fully Investigate all state Institution In
all their departments and give you a vig
orous, upright administration. I thank
you all for this reception, and want to
get personally acquainted with you after
th meeting. I invite you all ta tnv In.
auguration heft January, when 1 will
mak a speech."
Mr, Furnish was received with a rood
deal of applause.
The meeting closed with a few re
marks from J, H. Ackerman, Republican
candidate for Superintendent of Publio
Instruction, and W. D. Fenton. a for
mer Democrat, who with Furnish united
with th Republican a few years asro.
Mr. Fenton defended his course by say

CoclSeGeorge, a"
Longshoreman.
James Willlami, atlas McDonnell, alias
Lee, an ex-convict, shot and killed
companion,, a ... 'longshoreman called
"Cockney Georg,", at 7:46 o'clock last
night. Tbs murderer escaped.
The murder was tlfe result of a drunk
en carousal, fn which five persons partici
pa ted, vis.i Henry Lynch and wife, Rob
erf Nelson and th two principals to the
tragedy. Th plac at which th shoot
ing occurred is supposed to be a board
ing-house at 67 Second strut,' one door
north of Davis. It Is In th worst dis
trict of the North End, and a likely
place for suoh crimes. Lynch, th bus-
anna oi me womaa wno runs tne piaoe,
Is a "hypo Sand," and she Is a hopeless
victim of tha drink habit Of Nelson
not much Is known, but he appears t
havs been a casual guest at th time
of th tragedy.- He aaw th shooting,
however, and is held aa a witness at
polio headquartars with Lynch and

Th murderer, ts well known not only
to the police but to all th habitues of,
the North End. He is also a "fiend."
Last night at th hour named, he was
in the house wher the murder occurred
when "Cocknay George-' entered. Tby
had a few word about the number of
meal th boarder of the house were to
be served, and,. both being Intoxicated,
fist hght soon resulted.. Th nun

cases and other bric-a-brac. Both men,
becoming winded. truce was patchtd

At th termination of th second mix-

H then ran Into an adjoining room,
and, grabbing", a -70 Marline carblna
came back, and taking deliberate aim at
"Cockney, Bred the fatal hot.
The bullet passed through th left arm
and tho body "and emerged' through the
right arm, fraotut-lng it. Death must
have been Instantaneous, a the bullet
severed the thorasls aorta. This fact
was established.-1 by' an autopsy held by
Dr. E. H. Thornton today. --
After the murder had occurred, in an
endeavor to hide the crime temporarily,
at least Williams and his friends picked
up th body of the unfortunate man and
dragged It back to a sort of woodshed,
where they unceremoniously threw It.
When the Coroner ,and detectives ar
rived, the deceased Was lying In a dou-
bled-up position, while in the dining-
room where th trifedy oe6urred there
was a large stain c of blood, showing
where the man had fallen when he re
celved his death wound. .'An attempt
had been made to obliterate this, but
the tlm was too short and In their
drunkan condition th witnesses to the
killing made a bad job of it.
Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, who are
handling the case, were quickly on the
scene, and found that Williams had es
caped by th back entrance to-the build
ing. In his seal, Kerrigan In the chase
Jumped from a one-story building and
sprained his ankle, leaving him In bad
shape today.
Although Williams haa' .not been cap
tured yet, the police are guarding every
avenue of possible escape. As soon as
apprised of the crime last night Captain
Moore posted detectives smd policemen at
all trains and boat, landings and tele
graphed and telephoned the murderer's
description to all surrounding towns, be
sides Kulamo, Tacoma,' Seattle and Spo
kane. The detectives do not think he tuft
left town, however, 1ut; aJr of th opin
ion that he is hiding In aome of th in
numerable North End lodging houses or
else stowed away In a friend's room.
The last seen or heard, of tne murderer
as far as known was when he called at
Jim. Trench's cigar-stand at Third and
Glisan streets at 11 o'clock last night. At
that time he inquired front Trench as to
tha time of the departure of th first
north-bound train. H stated that ha did
not have much money , and wanted to
travel cheaply.
Late today It was established that th
real name of the murdered man known
as "Cockney George", is Georg Hicks.
He has been working for Mm time as a
longshoreman and decknand on river
steamers. Last winter ha used to peddle
oyster cocktails In bottles to saloons. H
was a young man aged about tt and an.
Englishman by birth..
The coroner will hold an Inquest over
the remains at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon.

noon hour Attorney Hum for the dj
rense summoned additional witnesses for
this afternoon's session.
After the evidence for the' stat had
been submitted," Attorney Hum made a
motion that the Court not allow th. cas
to go to the jury for th reason that th
testimony of the witnesses did not cor
roborate that of Kelly Wiley, Vid that
th evidence waa insufficient tV prov
th guUt of th defendant, r Th Court
held that, although th testimony, of . th
.witnesses varied In some essentials, In
th main It was of sufficient weight to
warrant ..the evldanco to go o th Jury,
TH main difference of the testimony
was between Miss . Olnn and - Kelly
Wly. The latter said that Savage had
not left his house, wher she. Savage,
Mr. Savage and Wiley had been playing
cards,, until aster they had had lunch,
about half-past 10 o'clock P. M., and that
they then wnt over to True Johnson's
place. Wiley had testified that he and
Savage had gone to the Portland aotel
together, at th Instance of Savage, who
wanted to s th head bellboy about be
ing shifted from answering call bolls to a
job In th washroom. The defense con
tended that this tended to prove an alibi.
Attorney Hume also contended that the
testimony of the accomplices was not en
titled to belief, and that the testimony
of the other reputable witnesses failed
utterly to corroborate that of the ac
complices ! a waythsi directly.cnnecV'

True Johnson, on of th principal wit
nesses for the state, told a straight
story and held up well under the severe
fire of cross questions. Counsel tried, to
get her to admit that the detectives had
promised hep Immunity from punishment
if she would tell all She knew about the
case In behalf of the state. In order to
prejudice her testimony. In th eyes of
the Jury, she being an acknowledged ac
compiice arter tn tacts This ruse
failed. She repeated that the detective
and th Chief of Police had told her that
aince she knew who stole tha diamonds
and If she told the truth about It she
would get off easier. She denied that any
promises had been made to her.
True Johnson also testified In re-dlrect
examination that she had read In th pa
pers the day following' th robbery that
soma of th stick pins had been found
on the street near the Portland hotel
that she asked Savage how h had com
to drop them, and that he said th ar
tides fell out of his hands While trying
to removtPthera from th tray.
Weber .C. Harrington, who was night
clerk at the Portland when the robbery
was committed, testified as to the time
the bellboys showed up for work next
morning. A colored man named Collins
gave some testimony about a letter Mrs.
Savage had shown him that" was writ
ten by Mr. Savage. Earl Ward testified
that he had observed Kelly Wiley near
the Portland hotel about the time the
theft was supposed to have been commit
ted, and' corroborated the admission ol
Kelly Wiley.
