Tbla waa one of the Interesting tate
nntt pado by Stat Chairman Jack
Matthews at an Interview with Walter
Lyou, pH ate eecretary to Governor Oeer,
and to a representative of The Journal,
In hit private office in the Republican
heertquartere here yesterday. '
The occaaion wai a visit of proteet
by Mr. Lyon to Inquire the reasons why
the natce of Ooveraor Oeer does not ap
pear In the printed list of Republican
candidates as it appears in the numerous
papers f the state. Governor. Oeer,
Mr Lyon says, is on the official ballot
-as a "Republican, and He.t. acting for the
Governor, came to demand of Mr. Mat
thews an explanation of the reason for
Which the namp Is omitted.
On being admttied to the office of the
atate chairman, Mr. Lyon produced a
copy cC a paper In' which the state Re
publican .ticket appears, and asked Mr.
Waurewf for what reason the name of
Governor Geer had been left out; was It
the intention to ignore Governor Geer's
claims, or, notT . '
Mr. Matthews in reply; stated that he
had not given the matter any considera
tion, but that at a casual glance he did
not." consider that Governor Geer's name
was entitled to appear on the ticket, for
the reason that he was not a nominee of
the Republican state convention. In re
ply, Mr. Lyon urged that under the Mays
law a nomination by petition of the peo
ple is fully as effective as a nomination
by a state convention, and answers the
same purpose. For that reason he
thought the name should appear on the
advertised lists the same as it does on
the official ballot. Secretary of State
Dunbar, ,he said, had recognized Mr.
Geer's nomination by petition, and, al
though after some delay, had consented
to place his name on the official ballot
as a Republican. This, Mr. Lyon claimed,
furnished a sufficient reason why Gover
nor Oeer should be recognized as a Re
publican nominee.
Mr. Matthews defiled that a nomination
under the Mays law made any difference
so far as he was concerned. He took
no cognizance of anything that was done
by anybody other than the state conven
tion. '
"I DO NOT KNOW," he said, "WHAT
INDUCED MR. DUNBAR TO . PUT
GOVERNOR GEER'S NAME ON THE
OFFICIAL BALLOT, EXCEPT IT WAS
TO PROTECT HIS FRIEND FULTON.
1 will say to you frankly that I do not
believe Governor Geer has any right to
be represented in this list" (referring to
the printed advertisement). "It is the
opinion of a number of my friends thot
HE HAS NO RIGHT , ON THE OFFI
CIAL BALLOT AS A REPUBLICAN.
Personally, I have nothing against Gov.
rnor Geer, but he vetoed the Portland
chatter when he h'ad no right to do so,
and for that reason I have fought him."
To this Mr. Jjyon responded that the
Portland charter was vetoed at the so
licitation of large number of the busi
ness men ot the city, and halted that,
although it bad probably damaged in a
pecuniary way the people with whom Mr.
Matthews Is associated, the Governor's
action was Indorsed by a great many
people interested in the matter.
This statement appeared to arouse tho
Ira of the chairman of the state commit
tee, and he said in a heated way:
"Why should ws accord Geer any rec
ognition on our tlcketT He has not
tumped the state for Furnish. He did
not preside kt the Furnish meeting in
Salem a few days ago, and I do not see
that we ewa him anything."
'Why,!i said .Governor Geer's repre
sentative, "should Mr. Geer have ap
peared on the platform at Salem to in
dorse the candidacy not only of Mr. Fur
nish, but also of Mr. Fulton to the office
to whloh he himself aspires T" y
This apparently reached the crux of the
matter, for Mr. Matthews became visibly
excited and said: "MR. FULTON HAS
NEVER BEEN FORMALLY AN
NOUNCED AS THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR' SENATOR, THE
PREMATURE ANNOUNCEMENT A?

MAH WILL NEVER SUPPORT FUL
TON. I TOLD HIM SO LONG AGO.'1
In a further discussion which ensued
as to Governor Geer's candidacy. Mr.
Matthews volunteered the statement that
the candidates on his ticket had been as
sessed for the expenses of the campaign,
"and," he. afided. "we have never asked
Geer for a cent."
Mr. Lybn replied, without an Instant's
hesitation and with fire In his eye:
"What Is Mr. Geer's assessmentY"
"We do not want any money from
finer ' renlled Mr. MattneWlTtft '''8, tone
which sltowed that his bluff was "called
and for a moment a collision between the
representatives of the two interests ap
peared to too Imminent. Matters soon
quieted down, however, and although the
sparring was continued for some time,
the only satisfaction Mr. Lyon could ob
tain was he promise that Mr. Matthews
would consult with some of his friends,
and that If it could fee shown to him that
It was his duty to accord Governor. Geer
recognition, his name would appear In
the printed list within two days.

CHICAOO. Mar H-Wheat. 7447i,
The mystery surrounding the disappear'
ance of Mrs. ,Mumi Frances Qelger, on
the 28th of last month, has been solved.
From the first; The. Journal maintained
that the only tenable solution of the oc
currence waa suicide and that the, body
would most likely be found floating in the
river at the' expiration of two or three
weeks.
The body of the unfortunate woman
came to the surface df the Willamette
this morning and was found by two boys,
Tod Smith ana PSWl Patterson, shortly af
ter 8 o'clock. It was In an eddy near the
old mill south of Iamani ft Poulson's. The
Coroner was notified who caused the body
to be moved to Cunning's East Side
morgue. - -
As Mrs". Geiger was the only woman
known to be missing, the supposition was
natural that' the body was that of her.
Several circumstances pointed the other
way bowover. One was that the discre
tion of the woman's clothing' did not fit
thoso of the missing woman, and then
again It was not thought that she would
leave the house wearing no stockings and
walk away with? her shoes unbuttoned, as
was the case. i
Owing to the fct that the body was
greatly swollen and the absence of all the
hair, through the action of the water. It
was almost impossible to make Identifi
cation sure and it; was not until this af
ternoon, that the fact was established
that the remains' were those of Mrs.
Gelgcr. Joseph Hall, who with his sister,
Mrs. A. V. Mowrey, were the adopted
brother and sister, of the deceased, made
the Identification, i He called and was
shown a wedding ring, which had been
taken from, one. of the fingers Of the body.
On the inside was the engraved Inscrip
tion, "J. B. G. to 1M. F. B., i-i-'H."
"Yes, that's poork Mln" Hall Immediate
ly said. "Those letters and figures stand
for Joseph B. Geiger to Minnie F. .Barry,
April 4, 1893, the tune at which they were
married. Besides those gold fillings and
crown work correspond, as near as I can.
remember, to the dental work .Minnie had
done some time ago.
"No, I can advance no cause for her
suicide, as her Ufa Was happy as far as
I know. Besides, my slater was in a po
sition to help her as well as a brother. I
was in the Efcst atfitfft time."- "'

It seems that "there are others." While
every one Is tickled to death to learn of
the great (?) things that Mr. Harriman
and the Northern Pacific have promised
the City of Portland, there are some who
presume to think that the proposed Lew-iston-Rlparla
line will not De all for the
glory of Portland, and that she shall not
greatly wax rich thereby, but that Puget
Sound will be Just a much benefited
possibly more.
This morning another citizen made a
statement as follows:
'Mr. Harriman has kindly offered to
build a railroad for the benefit of ths
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, by
which it will be enabled to bring all the
grain, stock and fruit produced in the
great Clearwater, Potlach and Nes
Percea territory on a down grade haul
to Puget Sound yla Portland, thus avoid
ing two of the worst mountain grades
on the whole system. .
The line the Northern Paciflo Is now
using, between Kendrlck and Vollmer,
Is so steep that It is almost impossible
to haul empty freight oars up, and the
track has been completely washed away
on several occasions.
"It will thus be seen that by avoiding
this grade, and the haul over the main
Cascade range that the object for which
thev Northern Paciflo has. so long been
striving will be accomplished without the
expenditure of a single dollar,- and Jim

that dum dum bullets were being used

pines, produced several of the alleged

They were examined- by Chief, of Ord
nance Crosier, who said they were the
regulation Krag-Jorgensen bullets used
by the army everywhere.
During the examination of O'Brien,
Senators Dietrich of Nebraska and Pat
terson of Colorado almost came to blows.
The trouble was precipitated by the for
mer's action in shaking his finger In Pat
terson's face and accusing him of doing
everything to besmirch the American
army. Patterson denied the accusation,
advancing upon Dietrich, but when a per
sonal encounter seemed Imminent the'
chairman called for order and the ex
citement died down.
