ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
THE. KILLING of the Japanese woman, Mrs. Koda, her baby and another
Japanese Thursday night at the Jap reBtaurant on Ferry street, will, no
doubt, be cleared up soon; but at present, while suspicion points to the
husband, there may be another man instead, who, prompted by jeal
ousy, committed the foul crime. That it was caused by jealousy is
pretty certain, for it has all the earmarks of that, and there seems no other
plausible reason for it.
There are, however, sovoral clues that are certain to load to the discover;
of the murdorer. One of these is the bloody hand prints on the Btair railing,
and these were made by a short stubby hand, a hand that is at least very liko
that of the husband. Another suspi"i.ius circumstance is that when the hus
band was found after the crime he was near a local theatre with some othi'r
Japs; that he then claimed that he had been to the hospital to see a sick Jap
friend, and that on the way bic.k he with bis friends stopped at the pictiwe
show. In this connection it is important to remember that the dead Jap, who
was evidently pretty familiar with the dead woman, made the excuse to his
employer in ordor to get away for the evening that he wanted to go to the
hospital to see a sick friend. He did not go to the hospital, nor did he inter.!
to. The idea of going to the hospital was suggested to him, perhaps by the
fact that the husband had caused word to reach him that he wu going to the
hospital, in order to let him know that the coast was clear for him to visit
Mrs. Kd'da.
This is all speculation, simply an attempt to show the probable cause of
the crime. It is, however, about the running way" in which the Oriental minj
works, and is plausible. It Is known that the dead man and woman were very
friendly, and the husband was probably aware of the fact.
Every Jap is born with an alibi, which he carries ready for all occasions,
and it was at once in evidence hero. The murders were committed with a
knifo belonging in the restaurant, and with a pistol said to belong to the dead
man. Tho wounds were of such a character that they "could not have been
self-inflicted. If tho murderer waB some other than tho husband, how did tho
murdorer como to have in his possession the bread knifo belonging in tho res
taurant f If tho husband was guilty, what moro natural than that ho should
havo this same knifol Attacking the pair suddenly and unexpectedly, it would
have been easy for him to overpower his victim, and taking his pistol awuy
from him, use it to commit the murder.
Motorcycle Policeman Spencer says ho was at tho restaurant about 20 min
utes before the crime was committed and that Koda and Joo Nnkamurra wore
both there then. This adds to the suspicion that Koda hnd gone up the street
to whero ho was arrested, for the solo purpose of establishing an nlilii. Ho was
with Nnkamurra 20 minutes before the criino, and up tho street shortly after it
when the officers found him, and yet Joe Nnkamurra was the man, who beforo
the crime was made public took tho baby to the Chinese doctor, and later
rushed back, and carrying it upstairs, left it on the pile of quilts where found.
How did Nakamurra happen to be on hand and tho husband awayt Is It not
probable that the father killed tho child accidentally, and that his friend, at
his suggestion, took. It to tho doctor to see if Its lifo could not bo savedf Is
not the chain of circmnBtantial evidence against Koda a strong onef
It is practically certain that tho crime was committed either by the hus
band or by some one who was jealous of the man who had a hold on the wo
man's affections, and as there Is no evidonce of there being another man In
the case, everything harks back to the husband as tho murderer.
TO STOP THE TIPPINO HABIT.
LONDON, IT 18 SAID, hns inaugurated a war on tips. The custom had its
rise there and It Is proper that It should also get its death blow in the
same place. A company that controls 175 restaurants in London started
tho movement, and has placed a sign over tho doors of each of Its rotau
rants that no tipping is permitted. Now, it is said, thero are 500 eat
ing places in tho city that have these signs and on their menu the samo request
that reads as follows: "Visitors are earnestly requested not to offer tips to
any of tho staff, the acceptance of which involves Instant dismissal."
It Is claimed that this has caused a remarkable increase In patronago, and
that all tho hotels and restaurants that have not already adopted, tho, system,
will soon do o. The tipping habit win a bad one, and one that had no excise
for existence. It hnd become so bad that tho tip cost about as much as'a meal
in many restaurants, and yet it was necessary to "como through'' or got w
service. It placed tho burden of pn.ig the waiter on the customer iu addi
tion to paying for what ho got, instead of on tho owner of the place, who of
ten paid little or no wages, compelling tho waiter to rely on tips, on tho gener
osity of the public, for his pay. If London sticks to it, tho tipping habit will
soon cease in New York, where the ultra fashionable turn up their troum.'s
when the cable annoiiuces that it is mining it London. Of course, if it stops
in New York, that will put an end to It all over the Tinted States. It may ro
suit along with the Mulhall exposures in tho tipping habit even being shut out
of congress, .

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL hss called attention repeatedly to the deadly
trap caused by the passengers being compelled to get on or off street
cars on the right side thereof. The passengers wishing to reach the left
side of the street must pass behind the car, while autos and other vehi
cles pass the tar, meeting it on that side. It is only a matter of time
until some one steps out from behind the car and directly in front of an auto
or motorcycle and is hurt or killed. Just this accident occurred in Portland a
few days ago, and aa the motorcycle v. as going at high speed, its victim was
sent to the hospital, and very properly, its owner was t thu fame time se.-.t to
the rock pile.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one wny to cure deafnoss,

DeafncsB is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation c,au be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth

healthier, but it is only a mask. They
are still nervous, easily tired, upset by
trifles, nnd they do not ent. or sleep
well. What they need Is what tones
the nerves, perfects digestion, crentes
appetite and makes sleep refreshing,
and that is Hood's Sarsnpnrilla. Pupils
