Lat yesterday afternoon the identlfl cation ot the body -of the woman found floating la th river, partly established by Th Journal, was completed by Ber nard MaeMahon, a friend, who called at th morgu. , , .- ' - Ts, that Is Ines Riggs, beyond doubt." h said. . "Sh left her horn at B North Eighth street Sunday afternoon. May zS, at 1 o'clock, saying that she was going to visit-a cousin living In Alblna. 6a left her money In her trunk: and was only lightly attired) a you se her there. She lft no message and w did not know, what t soak of her disappears no. Th poiic ware . Aetlfled, and, . w set afoot private Inquiries." ' . ' "Do you know of any reason why Miss Riggs should commit suicide." , Mao.' Mahon was asked. With some hesita. tlon he answered; "Well, no. 8b was keeping eompany with ; a, drummer, whose nam I don't know, and Z believe they had tilt some weeks ago, and called their engagement all ; off.' ' H Is' now In ' California, b- v. .;. ;; f Albert F. Wing, a cousin of Mia Biggs, favored th suicide theory. H told how sh was on her way to visit Ms mother talAlhto 1rhl; sh dlsappard Her war lay by the Alblna ferry, Just norm of which the body was found ' floating. H also referred to th long courtship between Mist Riggs and the traveling man,, saying: -She has been nearly crasy ever since that fallow left, and her mother imme diately said that sh was satisfied that Ines had committed suicide. W shared her opinion," ''.' 0 , ' '' Th Coroner held an inquest yestsr- day afternoon but nothing beyond tbe identification and the above facta Was developed. A verdict of drowning, pre sumably ulctdsrwas rendered. Th Journal learns from other sources. however, that the name of th man concerned is Charles A. Ray, with whom ah was Infatuated for several years, end it was understood by mutual friends; that th couple wer engaged to be mar ried. The cause of their parting will probably never be known, aa th young woman would not speak ot it, ana it is hardly likely that Ray will glv any In formation. Miss Rim had a wide circle of friends In Portland, Bhe was on of the leading dressmakers, and at the time of her death had a large number of good orders on hand, showing that business matters had nothing to do with her suicide. Stirs Up Ladies Re ception Committee. Local Women Involved in Dis sension. v - There is dissension among the ladles' reception committee named for the en tertainment of the ladies of the Travel ers' Protective Association. Certain ladles of the city thought they should have been placed in prominent positions on this occasion, and because they were not, have hindered me ladles of tbe committee and caused several of them to decline to take part in the re ception of the visitors. Those outside the committee have freely displayed their injured feelings by casting slighting In nuendoes upon the ones who are at work, and the bitter feeling and strife premises to become, permanent among, a few. The ladles of the, commute believe they understand ihe motives of the oth ers, and one lady eaid: Z ."Ita all caused by the suggestions of an' Outsider who was not considered, in the. arrange ments for the convention Those outside who wished to receive the visitors make remarks about certain people always be ing prominent when they are; left out en tirely, and with repetitions and occasion al meetings the matter may not be set tled in the most amicable way." ... About one-fourth of those on tbe com mittee have entertained the Travelers' ladles, each day providing something new for. their amusement, and the praise they receive Is as sincere as it is profuse. Tet tbey say they cannot but feel the result of ths remarks being made about them. The regular committee was composed of ths appended names: Mrs. J. C. Pritch srd, chairman; Mrs. A. N. Smith, Mrs. X: M. Dunne, Mrs. N. T. Collette. Mrs. J. a Beall. Mrs Robert Laitk'e. Mrs. M. W. Olll Mrs E. Shelley Morgan. Mrs. H. M. Ogden, Miss Harris. Mrs. J. A. Waddle, Mrs. Alexander Kuns.

' Hoyt Bbeman, tb general agent of th Colorado a Southern and also of the Ft. Worth A Denver City, has been In Port-' land several days. Mr. Sherman is quiet and unobtrusive man, but he is a wideawake railroader, for all that Ha ls a real home missionary for ths Unas he represents. His real mission in Portland at this time is in connection with the T. P. A. convention. He la busy dis tributing advertising matter relative to the companies h represents and hopes to Indue soms of th delegate to make aid trips ever the Colorado lines on their way horns. ! Speaking . of th railroad literature Mr. Sherman .has heea scattering so lavishly, It Is sufficient t saw that It te seat In th ztreme and shows all th advant ages of th Colorado lines. Mr. Sherman is connected with th family of General Sherman, but he is toe modest to" say anything about that He la on of th board of Utah Lewis and Clark Commissioners, and is very muoh Interested In th outcome of the big Fair. In speaking abut it this morning Mr, Sherman saidi Th twe houses of th Utah Lgila ture passed a Joint resolution Instruct ing the Governor to appoint a commis sion of three members to gather such In formation as w could In this matter and to submit our report thereon to the Leg islature at Its meeting next winter. The commission has already held three meet ings at Salt Lak and feels much en oouraged. Z had a talk with Hon. H. W. Corbett hers, and b assures ms that th exposition wtU b -properly financed. That's the main: thins.' vou know. "Little by little W have been gather ing Information 'her. At th coming meeting of Our Legislature we will ask for an appropriation to defray Utah's part of th expenses. I have no doubt but that we will succeed in having a respectable .sum set aside for the end In view.. "The promulgators of ths St Louis Exposition are . showing much seal In pushing Its Interests. They recently sent a delegation to Utah to stir up Interest In their big Show. I presume these dele gate visited Oregon and th ether Coast states. I think that ths Lewis and Clark promulgators ought to adopt simi lar tactics, so that Interest may be kept UP.- Jvr;.'.,..: 'I would like also to make a sugges tion that Portland would do wsll to secure as many ' meetings and big eon' ventlons for 1906 as possible. Such things will help to swell the attendance and would be a very good thing all around. 'The Pacific Coast has been particu larly fortunate this year in securing so many large meetings. Ail these things help to advertise -the great Pacific Coast country as nothing else could possibly do." Mr. Sherman has been In the railroad business for about 20 years. "I haven't been a railroad man quite as long as Billy Mead says," declared .Mr. Sher man, "Billy insists that I came out here with the Lewis and Clark expedi tion and set up an ofBce." Mr. Sherman's companies keep him busy attending. theN various meetings being held on the Coast, as a sort of standing delegate. He will leave for San Francisco tomorrow to attend the gathering there ot the Mystic Shrlners and will afterwards oome back to Portland in time to attend the con vention of the A. O. V. W. Ancient Order of Foresters. In accordance with the new laws passed by the late session of th sub high court In San Fraaelscov Court Port land, jNo. 8977 had a bright new "Star Spangled Banner" floating from the altar last Monday evening.: Ths following of ficers were elected for the ensuing term: Thomas C. .Stephens, chief ranger; Will- tarn Thompson, sub-chief ranger; A.

Mr. Supple says that the baths will be ready to turn over to the committee the fore part of next Week.

B. WELLS, Sole Northwest Agent AtOUAN HAUL 353 A BAD MAN Officers Again Looking Out for V Pug RyaiL ' The police of the Northwest are again on the lookout ' for "Pug" Ryan, th Colorado murderer, arrested In Seattle by Detective Barbee. When taken through Portland by th Colorado offi cers the prisoner was doubly ironed and carefully guarded by two deputies armed with sawed-off shotguns, as Ryan bragged that he would never be hanged. It looks as if he nhs a good chance of keeping his word. He was' in Seattle some time before being arrested and sent back to Colorado and is believed to have considerable plunder cached there. Several burglar ies occurring In the city prior to his de parture ar accredited to hlra. "Ryan has a case of Alaska fever," says Detective Barbee. "Not only would the territory afford him a comparatively safe refuge, but he wanted to get there badly before he was captured and would have secured passage north In some way or other , if he had been given a little more time. When he left I told him at the train that he had taken a chance and been landed. He . i answered: 'Oh, that Is all right. . I don't blame you; neither do I cross a bridge before reach ing it You'll see m her again before long." NORTHWEST NEWS. TACOMA.
