.OPPENHE|MER TO RE TURN
Director Morse Says It Is Unjust
to Deem Him an Abb
Sconder.
The Presidents Dwelling and House.
hold Furniture Seized by
Creditors.

George E. Morse, one of the directors OF
the Northwest Milling and Power Com
pany, Washington, was interviewed with
regard to the affairs of the company and
the alleged absconding of President Simon
Oppenheimer, at the residence of his
father, Ill Leavenworth street, last even
ing.
Said Mr.. Morse: "The bonded indebted
ness of the company is 100000. Outside
of that the liabilities consist of money bor-
mill andan electric light plant. This is
said to be $100, 900, but l think it is nearer
500, 900. This Mr.. Oppenheim borrowed
personally, with the expectation of selling
stock in the future to the value of $200, 600.
HE has gone East to try to sell the
stock, and he says that he will not return
until he has done So. l think, however.
that he will return, if he fails to sell the
stock, inside of sixty days. He owns
three-fourths of the stock. and if he could
sell one-haf his share, he would have
ready money to operate the company.
1.-The company owns twenty-seven acres
of land in the heart of the city, with water
running through it, which, in its lowest
stage, will produce $4,000 horsepower.
This is divided up into five channels.
through which the water flows, and is
has been expended by the company. 1t
is considered by experts to be one of the
finest mill and power propositions west OF
Niagara.
sThe two mills already built are of
granite. The fourmill is seven stories
high. and has a capacity OF 1900 barrels
daily. The sawmill is three-story struc-
ture, and can turn out $4,000 feet OF Ium-
ber every ten hours. They are said by ex-
,,ortc m ba tho inaef m lille 0f their pacitU
In the United States.
"Mr. Oppenheimer did not abscond,
as some have suggested. He is as
honest a man as / ever met. He has
gone East simply to try to sell the stock.
To my own knowledge, he took only a
valise containing few necessary articles
and enough money to defray his expenses
emptions whatsoever and made no assign
ment. His creditors have now come in on
him in his absence and taken everything.
He did not even endeavor to dispose of his
dwelling and they have taken that. They
have even taken possession of his house
hold goods and furniture"
"Do you think that he will succeed in
selling half his share and getting the COM
pany into working order again 2"
.eWell, everything is now in the hands of
receiver and is being operated by him.
This will be q serious handicap to dispos-
ing of anything. am not very sanguine
of success"
"Where is Mr.. Oppenheimer now ?'
"He is in New, York. As / said before,
I expect him back inside of sixty days"
Mr. Morse signified his intention of TAX
ing up his residence permanently in San
Francisco. If the company should recover
its footing, however, he will probably re-
turn to Spokane.
Mr.. Morse's wife is daughter OF the late
David Mckinley, Consul General from
Hawaii to this port, and niece of ex-Gov-
ernor William Mckinley of Ohio.

Ed Upton, secretary of the Kentucky
Breeders Association, who is attending to
the managerial part of the Montana rae
ing circuit, was an onlooker at the races
yesterday.
Collins changed hands at the conclusion
of the mile and a quarter event. 1t was
selling affair, and when the brown geld
ing, who was entered to be sold for $500,
was put up at auction, Ed Gaines bid him
up to $1UQO, and Dr. Rowell let the ami
NAL go.
The announced starters with their

The judges thought Lloyd put up sort
of listless ride on My Sweetheart, and set
him down for thirty days.
The victory of Fairfaith at his second
essay was a most unexpected one-last,
then first.

Otherwise the racing had very healthy
look. To be sure the favorite had rough
time of it., but that is to be expected.
Lumina, who captured the two-year-old
event, and Startling were the only first
choicers to pass the wire in front.
Ex-jockey Joe Flynn's mare Startling,
backed from down to 311. made all the
running in the opening race at seven fur
longs and won easily from Malo Diablo.
Twelve maiden two-year-olds started in
the four-fnrlong scramble. 1t soon devel-
oped that Lumina was the good things ton

the lead, but when challenged by Rey Del
Bandidos was beaten out rather easily by

The seven-furlong run over the inside
course resulted in the usual dump. De-
cision was played as though the race was
already over, going to the post to 5.
Tonino, a Is to outsider, had the favor

lead going down the hill showed the way

Death Of an Old Lady Who Was Run
Over by Buggy.
Mrs. Sartorus, widow, aged II years,
and living with her son at 531 Ellis street,
died at the German Hospital yesterday
morning. She was run over at the corner
of Turk and Hyde streets on the evening
of March 16. The wheels of the buggy,
which was drawn by one horse and driven
by man unknown, passed over her body.
A rib was broken and the woman was
otherwise injured.
George Sartorus. son of the deceased,
reported the case at the Coroner's office
yesterday and an investigation will be
held. the physicians who attended Mrs,
Sartorus do not think that her injuries
were sufficient to have caused death. The
excitement that followed the accident, it
is thought, had much to do with hasten
ing her end, as she was advanced IN years
and in q feeble physical state.

JOURNALISTIC AMENITIES.
Times and Telegraph Weeping the
Starch out of each Others Collars.

Says the Psalmist: "Behold how
good and pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity. 1t is like the
precious ointment upon the head that
ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's s
beard; that went down to the skirts OF
his garment.
The above text is more or less ap-
propos in view of the charming little
pleasantries now passing between the
Times and the Telegraph, aud which
may perhaps, without undue elasticity
of the Imagination, be Hkened to the
oil that ran down AarOn's beard, even
to the skirts of his garment. Only, in
this particular instance there is sus-
picion of the oil being that of the bit
ter aloe: and the stain left on the skirts
of the garments in question may re-
Quire liberal application of benzine
and other powerful cleansing sub
stances to effect Obliteration.
The Times trips the Telegraph up on
bogus dispatch set out basely as
decOy. Then it adds insult to injury by
calling the Telegraph "that fake around
the corner" and further heaps on the
tar and feathers by boldly and wilfully
accusing that great and good man, the
editor of the Telegraph, of wilfully and
miliciously swi ping Associated Press
dispatches ''to the detriment, infamy
and disgrace OF the fair name of defen-
dant," as the legal formula says in
libel suit. The Times also referred
feelingly to the Telegraph editor as
that lex lessee" as though "ex-
lessee" was some new term coined
to fit the character of one
who had fallen so low that commonly
accepted terms in the English language
could not do justice on the occasion.
So new expression must be devised to
"make the punishment fit the crime"
The Telegraph picks up the gauntlet
thrown down with pleasing alacrity,
and replies feeiingly-yes, feelingly.
The Telegraph hurls withering SEQ
hoborn at the editor of the Times,
and pretends to do up his social status
brown by calling him a half breed
ignoramus, ard throws back in his
alleged semi-Aztec teeth the base in
sinations as to the worth, or alleged
no-worth- -at-all of the Morning Tele-
graph and its press service. The al
legation is vigorously given the lie,
and the alligator is in covert and
insiduous phrases invited to cool his
heels where the worm dieth not and
the fire is not quenched and where ice
does not cut much of a figure.

thing. ION with the dance, let Joy be

Lutheran Christmas.

The Lutherans will hold their Christ
mas celebration at p. M, tomorrow
in North Stanton street chapel near
the Wellington. The decorations were
completed this morning and are well
worth going some distance to see.
Three real fat Christmas trees spread
their cheerful branches almost the en-
tire width of the room and are fairly
bespangled with shining, iridescent
decorations and trimmings so that the
rear of the room is all aglow. Then
there are evergreen trimmings around
the walls, and back Oh the wall are
these mottos: Ehre sci Gott in der
Heohe Und Freide auf Erden Den
Menschen Elm Wohlgefallon. In fact
the good dominic and his worthy frau
have just spread themselves, and the
Lutherans can feel that they need not
take back seat for any body this
Christmas is the decorative line.

Deaths From Alcohol.

Two deaths, the result of alcohol
poisoning, occurred in Mattoon, ILL.,, yes
terday; several other young men are
under the care of physicians, and more
deaths may be announced. A number
of young man ranging from II to %
years of age and belonging to a club,
started in on holiday celebration last
Sunday. One young man supplied the
crowd with crude alcohol and the
youths compounded a mixed drink OF
alcohol, water, sugar and cinnamon
drops. Some of the partakers became
intoxicated, and yesterday John Madi-
son died. Last evening Bert Wellan
died in convulsions.
The Investigations of the coroner's
jury brought to light the fact that the
alcohol used had been taken from the
Marathon gas works and is known as
wood alcohol, considered to be deadly
poison if taken in any quantity. Physl-
clans express surprise that any of the
young man survived.

Another Hold Up.

An associated Press dispatch from
Kansas City last night says: Blue Cut,
made historic through the operations
there of the ameS-Younger bands, was
the scene of a fourth hold up by road
agents.
At 9:20 o'clock the ST. Louis and
Chicago express which left Kansas
City at S:45, was tagged at Blue Cut
and came to a stand still. Masked
men Immediately covered the engineer
and fireman and compelled them to
get down from their cab. At the same
time another member of the band un-
coupled the express car from the rest
of the train. The robbers quickly
climbed aboard the locomotive and
express car before the surprised train
men had time to collect their wits the
bandits were speeding down the steep
grade beyond the Blue Cut with the
engine and express car, and Express
Messenger A. j. Freir of st. Louis, a
prisoner in the express car.
The car was heavily stocked with
Christmas goods of widely varying
values, and the messenger was heavily
armed. But it is feared ne stood no show
against the robbers. The enginemen
trotted down the line after their en-
gine, but with what success Is not yet
known. "The police have been notified,

that charges and counter charges in
