As6ociatf.fi Press Leased Wire OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1925 BY RIV SIKI MURDERED IN NEW YORK, Dec. 15. "Battling" Siki, the Sene galese pugilist, whose tur bulent career in the prize ring and elsewhere has given him wide notoriety, was mysteriously murdered early today in West Forty First street in the district known as Hell's Kitchen. The one time light heavy weight champion was found lying face downward with two gunshot wounds in the back. A revolver with two. axploded shells was found in the gutter not far away. The police could find no one who had witnessed the killing. The neighborhood had not been aroused. Patrol man John J. Meehan who had exchanged greetings with Siki shortly after mid night, came upon the body four hours later. An ambu lance physician found the Senegalese dead with one bullet in his lung and an other in the kidney. Siki is believed to have had a brawl in one of the numer ous night clubs in the neighborhood and that after the altercation he was fol lowed into the street and struck down from behind. He was felled in the same spot where last summer he was attacked and almost killed with a knife in a street fight. The Senegalese lived near the scene of the killing. His wife identified the body at the police station. House Votes For Lowered Income Tax 2,500,000 Affected by New United States Ruling WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.

(P; Mem bcra of the special constabulary to day seized the Prince's dock bar- ! racka in Helfast. declaring tbev would hold the buildings pending l satiBfactory reply to their demands for compensation for their dhiband uicnt under the new Irish agree ment. ' . ' In Derry 500 "Specials" placed armed guurda over thr:.- stores and arms to prevent the authorities from removing them. The L'lEter authorities take a seri ous view of the situation but feel that a way will be found to settle the difficulty without resort to dras tic disciplinary action. The special constables are de manding a bonus of 300 pounds sterling free of Income tax for each man because of tlisbandment and this if granted must be borne by the exchequer of the northern Irish government. The men were nuriirlsed by ihe demand to disband them almost . immediately and the prospect of being thrown out of employment so suddenly was responsible for their present action. Just as the midnight spedl of duty was completed the special constables in Belfast, acting In concert, seized the five city barracks, and are re ported to have locked up or other wls3 detailed officers who did not participate in the revolt.

Battle for Permission to Enter Klamath Swings to New Setting in Washington Before I. C. C; Contrasting Claims Set Forth WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. (AP) The contest between the Southern Pacific company and the HiU railroads over the right to build new lines in central Oragon was car ried further today before the I. C. C. with the filing of opposing briefs. Evidence on the subject has been gathered by the commission during a series of hearings recently in the west and final arguments will be heard soon in Washington. The Oregon Trunk railroad, owned jointly by the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, proposes to build 178 miles of new line from Bend to Klamath Falls in Oregon, and the Southern Pacific company proposes to build 38 miles southeast of Klamath Falls. It also has purchased the Nevada, California and Oregon nar row gauge line and proposes to build from Cornell in California, to Alturas on the California-Oregon border to connect with the Central Pacific, which is a part of the Southern Pacific system. ' The briefs in behalf of the Southern Pacific groub asksd the commission today to refuse the Oregon Trunk application on the ground that its line would "parallel' and ruin" the Southern Pacific' proposed connections in the region. The Southern Pacific argued that it will give new lines adequate to serve all of the Oregon ter ritory and in the interest of good railroad service the commission should not allow a duplicate investment.
