PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 10
Dazed for a moment by the sus-
pension of the Merchants National
bank yesterday Portland today has
its nerves well in hand and conf
IDENTIFY looks forward to the reopen
ing of the bank within the next 80
days.
Bank Examiner Claude Catch
will begin his examination today
and report to the comptroller of the
currency.
The Merchants National intends
to reopen, it is said, and to take
over the Merchants Savings &
Trust Co.. which has been unaf-
fected. A constant stream of hard
money is now pouring into the city
banks and the assurance is given
out today that the bottom had been
reached in the financial situation.
VANCOUVER, Wn., Nov. 10
The banks here though sensitive
regarding the Portland financial
situation are not affected by the
temporary suspension of the Mer-
chants National bank of that city.
Fiat money is circulating freely and
without restraint. The anxiety of
the people to change certificates In
to hard money has ceased and the
smaller denominations of silver as
sist in making change and relieving
the general situation.

The body of the man blown up
by dynamite Monday afternoon at
Natatorium park is not that of A.
F. Grant, son of wealthy Chica-
go biscuit manufacturer. This aft
ernoon Allen f. Grant, of River
Grove, H., walked into Chief of
Police Rice's Office and identified
himself beyond doubt by stiffen-
ed middle finger on the left hand,
such as the father who yesterday
telegraphed the chief said would
be an unmistakable mark of iden-
tification The elder Grant, who
is probably on his way to this city
now, was telegraphed by his son.
Young Grant said:
81 do not see how the mistake
could have been made, because my
name is Allen and not Albert. This
dead man, as | understand it, is
supposed to be Albert S. Grant.
The telegram l sent to my parents
suppose will ease their minds OF
the shock which the first telegram
must have caused"
Young Grant is a railroad man
and has worked in and out of Spo-
kane for three years.
The police hope to secure a con-
fession from AL Addison, one OF
the trio who was blown up with dy-
Mantle, before night This confess
sion, 1t is hoped, will explain ex-
actly how the accident was brought
about and confirm the suspicion
that the men are safe blowers and
were extracting the nitro-glycerine.
George Addison, brother of the
wounded man in st. Luke's hos
pital, arrived from Tacoma this
morning. He was by his brothers
side while the nurses dressed his
wounds, but Immediately afterward
the patient dropped off into deep
slumber before his brother had op-
portunity to question him.
Charles Dean, alias Moore, the
third of the trio, who is in the city
Jail, refuses to divulge any further
information regarding the dynamite
or what the men were doing with
it, aside from his stories of yes
terday, which confiicted. Late
yesterday he admitted that the
name Moore, which he first gave
was adopted by him because he
feared trouble, and said his right
name is Charles H. Dean.

10 CENTS APIECE
FOR ALL RATS

Serious consideration was given
the rat question by the health board
last night and the bounty which has
been cents apiece was increased
to. 10 cents. This Is for all rats
of whatever breed. On the coast
these rats have been found infect
ed with plague germs and boards
offer bounties and rewards for the
infected ones. There seems no par
ticular danger here, but precamtion-
airy measures are advisable. Early
in the season bounty of 10 cents
was offered for the gray rats. and
rat hunting at once became re-
munerative occuption among the
school boys, who sought it in pref
erence to selling papers. Then the
bounty was cut down to cents
on all rats and the rat business be-
came dormant. But the large
bounty offered last night will mean
that rat catching as business will
flourish once more.

DID wife KILL HIM?

PORTLAND, Nov. Whether
or not A. Glass, Russian wine
salesman and alleged swindler. for
whom the police of dozen cities
were searching, was accidentally
shot or died by the hand of his
beautiful young wife, is a problem
which the authorities have not sue
ceeded in solving. Lying PROSTATE
from shock. succeeding a period of
nervous excitement, at st. Vim
cents hospital, the woman vehem-
emily asserts that she Is no wise
responsible for the tragedy, while
on the other hand her C-year-old
son, Victor. declares positively that
his father committed suicide. The
suicide theory Is absolutely pre-
cluded by the circumstances, the
bullet from an automatic pistol en-,
tering the body below the left
shoulder blade, passing through the
aorta, and emerging directly over
the right nipple, and there being
no powder stains or burns on flesh
or clothing.

Fred Schade brought up very
important matter in the council
last night. When the blonde rep
resentative of Schade beer, hero
of a gun play in the Pasco council
chambers, politician, orator and
congressional candidate, arose it
was thought he was about to
launch forth in a burst of oratory
to stem the tide which was about
TO engulf the saloons. However,
Schade was only drawing attention
to the condition in which the three
S55 lifeOoats are kept. One has a
hole in it, another has driftwOod
piled into it and the other is float
ing somewhere beyond human ken.
He wanted the council to appro-
pirate money enough to induce
WINDY Bill" Sawyer, who has
saved % lives from the river, to
take care of them. The matter
was referred to the board of works.
Regarding the boats Windy Bill'
said:

TACOMA HAS TUNNEL
Problem

TACOMA, Nov. 13.-The engi-
neers of the Union Pacific railroad
are faced with a serious problem
in the matter of removing the earth
that is taken from the north end
of the tunnel they will bore be-
meath the city. This end of the tun-
mel will emerge from the earth in
the business center, and the only
place for the earth taken from the
bore apparently is the tide fats,
where the road will locate it's ocean
terminals.
The question is how to transport
the earth through the congested
section of the business center to
the dumping spot. Negotiations are
now under way with the Tacoma
Railway & Power Co. and also with
the Northern Pacific railroad. The
railroad company is hardly in a po-
sition to handle any of the earth,
and the power company, if it at
tempts to handle it, will have to
buy new equipment and build track,
which would hardly be worth while,
notwithstanding that the job is a
large one.

TYLER
WAS KILLED

RATHDRUM, Idaho, Nov. 10
Late yesterday afternoon the con-
fession of Steve Adams alleged to
have been made to James McPar-
land, a Pinkerton detective, was
read to the jury. The confession
includes weird tale of how Newt
Glover, Alva Mason and Adams
caught Tyler as he was coming to
his cabin, took him to Jack Simp-
kins' cabin and held him all night
and then took him in the morning
to a secluded part of the woods,
where Adams killed him.
The state hopes to finish with it's
case today; this will depend, how
ever, on how much time is con-
sumed by Clarence Darrow for the
defense in the cross examination
of MCFARLAND. The confession of
Adams was admitted by Judge
Woods during the direct examina-
ton of MCFARLAND, though Darrow
objected strenuously on the grounds
that it had not been made volun-
tarily, but that inducement and
promises of leniency had prompt
ed 1t.

ments's case against Banker
Walsh. He will charge Walsh with
accepting McLean's notes for as
much as $150,O00 in one day. Nc

GOVERNOR May CALL
SPECIAL SESSION

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 49,
unless some unforeseen change
takes place in the financial situa-
ton in the next few days | shall
call special session of the legisla-
ture to convene the first of next
week"

Gov. Gillette as he left Sacrament

lature will be the extension of the
delinquent tax period for 60 or 80
days, and an amendment permit
ting the courts to try certain cases
during the bank holidays, also al
lowing amendments to city charters
permitting city treasurers to de-
post funds in banks and providing
for new bond issue bearing a rate
of interest not to exceed per
cent. The impeachment of Rail-
road Commissioner Andrew Wilson.
who confessed to bribery to the
grand jury, may also be taken up.
