CREED FOR MONEY
SLAYER'S MOTIVE.
Washington Lawyer Is
Charged With Having
Killed His Mother-in-Law
SHE DENIED APPEALS

BApEN-BADEN, Germany, Nov g.
Carl Hau, alias Stau, a lawyer of
Washington, D. c., who was arrested
tradition, is wanted by the local police
on the charge of numbering his wife's
mother, Frau Molitor.
The motive of the alleged crime ap-
pears to have been insane greed of
money Frau Molitor, who was wealthy,
refused many times to comply with
Hau's requests for money. having given
her daughter a considerable dowry and
arranged that she should inherit part
of her fortune. When Hau. a student
of 19. married Lena Molitor six years
ago she was some years his senior.
Their engagement seemingly was
against Frau Molitor's wishes.
Immediately after their marriage the
couple went to America and Hau OBJ
tanned good position in Washington
as a lawyer. Hau, his wife and their
daughter three years old, came to
Germany last summer to visit Frau
Molitor. Mrs Hau and the child stayed
several months at the villa Molitor.
Visitors to the villa observed that the
best relationship existed between the
husband and FraI Moiitor-
A fortnight ago Hau left Baden
Baden to return to America, and his
relatives thought he was either on
board ship or had already arrived in
the United States. Hau. it is now
claimed, Immediately after he left
Baden Baden, sent a false telegram
dated Paris, asking Frau Molitor to go
and see her married daughter there.
The Justification was discovered and
the inquiries of the postal authorities
with the view of discovering the iden
tity of the sender of the message were
still going on when the murder was
committed.
During the evening of November
Frau Molitor received telephone mes
sage at her home in Baden Baden.
asking her to go to the postof1ce and
get a parcel which had reached there
for her Frau Molitor. accompanied
by her young daughter, started at
once for the postofice and while pass
ing through quiet street she was
shot from behind and fell dead with
bullet through her heart.
The man who committed the murder
was described as being of medium
height and considerably under 80 years.
He wore a beard, but 1T is stated that
it was a false one. The police believe
that Hau committed the murder.

salers shows that there is no lack of
confidence in the future of the city.
Real estate men point with consid-
erable satisfaction to the fact that
wholesalers are desirous of coming
downtown and there has been con-
siderable inquiry within the past few
days for locations on Mission street
and New Montgomery, on which thor
oughfares some large leases have been
recently signed. One of the first to
build upon New Montgomery street
will be the Greenwood estate. Plans
have been prepared for a flve-story
building on their lot, which will be
occupied by three of the largest whole
salers in town.
BOOM ON MISSION STREET.
Lower. Mission street and the blocks
adjacent running to Market are being
rapidly rebuilt and tenants have been
secured in advance of the construction
Of the buildings. There is a great
demand on Front and Battery streets
from Market to Washington by the
wholesaler, and there is every reason
to believe that extensive building will
be commenced within a short time in
that district Sansome street is loom
ing up south of California
There is considerable difference in
CR-AAASA as " Tic IOIdll QlSIIlCI.
Many of the real estate men believe that
Union Square will be the coming shop
ping district, with Grant avenue south
from Sutter a good second.
Within the last few days there has
been big inquiry by retail merchants
for Geary street property as far west
as Powell There is a lull in China
town. For time there was big activ-
ity in that section, but matters have
quieted down. The reason given is
that a great portion of this district
is in the possession of non-residents.

Bush street promises to be the Pine
street of the future. Pine is the only
street on which construction is going
on by night and by day, and one of
the sights of the city is to watch the
work that is being done on the Z. w.
Hopkins building after dark Three
shifts of men are employed and at
night the whole place is lighted by
eiectricity. 1t is as busy then as DUR
ing daylight.
There has been no cessation in the
demand for small residence property
and considerable realty has changed
hands In the Glen Park Terrace dis
trict. Richmond and east of the park.
There were 602 mortgages recorded
during the month of October, repre-
senting the sum of $3,737, ,3O4. This
unusually high amount is accounted for
by the renewal of two large mortgages.

That the right of way difficulties
encountered by the road proposed
from here to Pilot Rock are now fast
being overcome, is reported. 1t is
said there are now but two men with
whom the company is having trouble
in agreeing upon a price for the right
of way, and in these cases legal action
may be necessary in order TO decide
the matter.
Those who are in positions to know
something about the intentions of the
construction work will be commenced
on the Pilot Rock road within a few
months.
Colonel ]. H. Raley. legal represen-
tative of the o. R. & \. company in
Pendleton, recently visited in Port
land and upon his return expressed
his belief that work will be started
by fall. He says it is the company's
intention to begin construction as
soon as the right of way matters can
be settled and necessary surveys
made.
According to Colonel Raley, it is the
intention to have the branch line
connect with the main line at the
mouth of Birch creek, and for the
branch trains to run on the main
line to Pendleton, which will be the
northern terminus of the road. No
effort will be made to establish a
town at the mouth of Birch creek.

PRICES RAISED

Horizontal Advance OF One Cent Per

ers Threaten to Organize and Put

Advance Is Very Onerous, on Top
Of ExOrbitant Prices for Sacks.

La Grande. July 17.-The threshing
machine men of Union county have
Just held a meeting in this city Mt
which it was agreed to raise the price
of threshng to and 6 cents per
bushels cents for oats and barley
and for wheat. This is a raise OF
1 cent per bushel on each variety of
Grain over former prices.
Coming on top of extraordinary
prices for sacks, this advance in the
price of threshing has brought out n
strong protest from the farmers and
it is possible that many farmers will
organize and buy machines to avoid
the thresher trust.
Grain is ripening rapidly but it is
thought that machines could be Sc
cured by the farmers in time to thresh
the crop without serious loss. The
hot weather has damaged crops but
slightly in Union county and haying
is now in progress in all parts of the
county.

SAID HE WAS ROBBED OF SIS.
Bandits Hid Beneath a Garden Street
Arc Light.

One of the boldest. baddest of rob-
berries occurred last night at the cor
ner of Alta and Garden streets, when
an unknown man was robbed of SIS
by bandits who escaped by hiding un-
der a street light in that section.
1t was a bad affair, but in the
opinion of the officers and others who
have Investigated the subject it was
all dream on the part of a stran-
ger, who had just awakened from
drunken sleep.
About 10 o'clock last night the
victim" notified Officer Waters of
the hold-up, claiming that he had
been robbed of his purse containing
SIS by two men. on proceeding to
the scene a Chinaman was noticed
standing on the corner, and he was
at once identified by the victim" as
one of his assailants. AS there were
two men implicated, Officer Waters
told the stranger to watch the China
man while he searched for the other
robber. While he was so engaged
the captive Mongolian broke from his
guard and ran away. This morning
he declared he did so because his
guardian insisted on trying to cut him
with a pocket knife.
According to the story of Ung Goay
and others of Chinatown, the stran-
ger had been drunk and asleep at the
corner of Alta and Garden streets
They declare that no Chinaman rob-
bed him of anything, and that he had
doubtless disposed of his money
otherwise. This theory of the case
is also shared by Marshal Gurdane.
However, the matter is being looked
into by the chief. Nothing has been

during the recent floods there Victoria

by water during the flood, and the
fact that it escaped was due to the
