In Heat of Base Over Disappointment In Lore Shoots His Sweetheart Dead at His Feet and in Cold .Blood Washington County . Case Decided. ; ; Tlu supreme court handed down an opinion yesterday morning in which the decree of Judge Cleland, of the circuit court for Multnomah county, in affirmed in the case of ' the state vs. 4rang Crtglitdmo. This is the case in which the defendant is charged and convicted of the murder of his sweat JiMrt, an Italian girl, Freda Guarascia and the affirmation of the decision of the lower court means that Guglielmo must suffer death on the gallows at the Oregon penitentiary for his cold blooded and fiendish crime " j T The story of the case in brcf is that fiugllelmo bad been paying his atten tions to the young girl and was very much infatuated with her. She, how Wer, did not reciprocate his affections and refused to keep company with him longer.. On June 14, 1904, Guglielmo called upon the girl and asked for an interview, which was granted, when he again pressed his suit for her hand in marriage. She spurned his love and . his matrimonial offer, whereupon ' he lrew a revolver and shot her, killing her almost instantly. He was arrested, trie! and convicted of murder in the tirst degree and was sentenced to hang; hut was granted a stay -of cxeeutidn on appeal. The records in the case show that he was charged with the commission of a crime by an information, not sworn to by any person, upon which a bench warrant was issued lor his arrest. , The counsel for the defendant set up the contention that this was an irregular proceeding, in that it was in violation of Section 9 of Article I of the con stitution of this state, which prohibits the issuance, of warrants for the arrest of any person, except upon probable raose, supported by oath or affirmation. Another , contention of defendant's counsel is that the court erred in deny ing defendant 's motion to set aside the information on the ground that it vit iated certain sections of the federal constitution, in that these sections f tho organic law guarantee to every suspect ei person the right to be charged by indietmentt, found and re turned by a grand jury. J J Justice Moore, of the supreme court,, however, finds contrary to these con tentions, that the defendant had a fair and impartial trial, that no prejudicial error was committed, and affirms, the judgment of the trial court. , . . ? -Evldence Not Admissible. In another opinion, of which Justice Bean' is the author, the decree of Judge T. A. McBride, of the circuit court for Washington county, ia reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.; The opinion holds that the court below was in error in the matter of admission of certain evidence in the case of the state vs. James G. lee, in which the defendant was convicted of the larceny of a calf and sentenced to a term of j-rnrs in the penitentiary. The only point or contention decided by the supreme court was that the trial court erred in the admission of evi dence in the case tending to show the previous bad reputation of the defend ants, or the commission of crimes other than the one charged against him. The court holds further that witness has right to explain, without entering into particular, the grounds for any! bias or hostility he may entertain for the person whom he is ' testifying against, but in this case the witness denied he had any ill will or bias against the de fendant and his testimony only tended to show the general reputation of the licensed which was inadmissible, j?

Prince; Wei's -mission to this country is to make a sttray of the system of government in allaf its phases, and especially as pertainsN to the manage ment of the different sate and nation al institutions, including penaL reform atory, f eleemosynary and educational. ror the purpose of creating a govern mental reform in th Chinese empire. Prince vei is possesed with 'very keen perceptive abilities, his sense of observation is highly developed; is a uumi. auu luicingcui conversaiionaiisr. in his own language and is surrounded by a corps of eminently efficient sec retaries and interpreters. The mem bers of his staff are: Chew Kok Iiean. private secretary to His Exeellency and English-Chinese interpreter; Tong Chinn, Chinese secretkrjto, the Prince, and Rupert Numer, rtKVienna, Austria, who acts as interpreter! of the English, German, t rench, Austrian and other Kuropean languages. , Prince Wei and staff, with the ex ccptkm of Mr. Humer, who joined the party at Vienna, left Hong Kong one year ago this month. lie has made a complete tourof England.

He sailed from Liverpool and entered the nonunion of Canada at Montreal; thence to Vancouver, B. C, thence to Seattle and Portland, arriving , here yesterday. I He intends to extend his tour over every state in the Union, through Mexico and South and Central America. In his interview with the Governor yesterday afternoon, Prince Wei expressed the desire to go through all the state institutions eontiguons to Salem, and the Governor urged him to extend his visit over a day or two long er in orrter that all rtue courtesy could be shown him and that he could make a tnorougn inspection orthe system of management of the different insti tutions.; Prince Wei stated that he hop ed he would be able to do so but last eveninff Stated that, as much as he so desired, it would be .Impossible as he would be compelled to continue his journey today. He, however, in eom- panv with Superintendents James and Oalbreuth, of the penitentiary and in sane asylum, respectively, inspected these two institutions quite thoroughly. In an interview with a statesman re porter last evening, he expressed him self through the medium of his Inter preter, Chew jvor Iiean, substantially as follows: 'I am deeply and favorably Impress ed with the progressive spirit of the Americans, which is plainly evidenced on every hand. I have made a thor ough study of the methods of govern ment of the different institutions of every country in Europe, and, although I nave been in your country but about two weeks, I can very readily see and so state without hesitancy that the government of the American institu tions is founded upon the very; latest principles and are the best and most systematically conducted of all.' I have also oeen leepiy and agreeably impressed with the kindness and cour tesy which has been shown me-by the people of the United States, and, I am sure that this alone will be one of the most pleasant things which I will re port to His Majesty, the Emperor of China. I have been treated with tbi greatest of civility and shown' every consideration 1 wherever I 'have "been and the Emperor will no doubt feel very grateful to your people and gov ernment for it. "J am especially pleased with the kind treatment which I have received by the officials of the state of Oregon. Mr visit to your state institutions this afternoon was an exceedingly pleasant one and I feel that I have benefited very much by what I have seen. The insane asylum and penitentiary, which 1 visited. I an truthfully -say, are con ducted in the most efficient and tip to date manner In every way, and I was much pleased with the evidence of sys tem and thoroughness which was evi dent upon every side, It would cer tainly be difficult to conceive of in stitutions of this character being more efficiently managed. l have heard ana read mucn 01 tne progressiveness of the - American peo ple but I had no real conception of the truth until . I - saw the evidence of it in reality, i It seems to me that the American people are on the go . all of the time and I have wondered if they ever take time to sleep.

Quite Probable Tht Meeting of Build iog Committee Will Be Held This Week and Definite Action Taken Time .Ripe for Beginning of Work. Although' nnc conclusion lias been reached a yet y thl members of the oaleni district regarding toe adoption of plans for the proposed new central school building, it is- quite probable that a meeting of the building commit tee, of which Ir. Byrd is chairman, will hold a meeting some time this week and arrive at a definite understandmsr in the matter. The question was to have come up for consideration and adjust ment at the regular meeting, on last Saturday evening, but, as ha been the case heretofore, some of the members were afbsent and the matter was not taken up for discission . Everything, with the exception of the adoption of plans and specifications, has been arranged for the erection of the building, but it, seems that the memSiers are not a unit upon the choice of a design or character of material for the structure. The old buildings have been moved to either side of the half block which the new school house is to occupy and the old tarn is Wing re moved, from the premises so that all will be in readiness for the beginning of the work when a choice of plans has been decided upon. ! One or two sets of plans have been drawn up by Architect W. I. Pugh, but, while the members are agreed in the main upon the designs submitted, there is some difference of opinion as to the interior arrangements, which is not a serious matter to adjudicate. Then again, otVr members of the board think' more tnan one architect should have 'submitted plans for thetprojosed new structure in order that the differ ent ideas could be taken into consider ation before a definite conclusion i arrived at. The time, however; is grow ing ripe when the work upon the build ing should be begun and it is believed that no nnneeessarv delay will he isd the matter of the choosing of plans.

The fire department was summoned to the Eldredge block shortly before 9 o'clock Sunday morning to extinguish a fire in one of the rooms forming part of H. W. Harding's lodging house. The room was being occupied by a man named Cooper, who professed to be a hair dresser, and it'isisaid that while slightly, under the influence of liquor he dropped a lighted match or cigarette' upon a lounge on which he was repos ing.

The Standard Oil Company, Campbell informed the presi dent, was already preparing its defense and to resist to the utmost the govern ment's investigation.
