KILLED AND ROBBED.
Body of Murdered Man Found Under
n Bridge.

Portland. Ore, Jan. S.-The murder
in this city last night of DR.. Philip Ed
wards johnson, a physician recently
arrived from New York, is one of the
most mysterious tragedies that ever
has occurred in the northwest.
DR.. Johnson came to Portland with
his newly welded wife two months
ago to establish his home here and to
practice his profession. The couple
bought site for a beautiful home in
fashionable section. Mrs. Johnson,
before her marriage last fall, was
Mrs. Scarborough. She is a daughter
of former Governor Hoadley of Ohio.
Dr. johnson was graduate of Column
bia university.
Shortly after dining with his wife
last night DR.. Johnson announced his
intention of visiting DR.. Panton one
or the examining board by which he
was to have been examined for admis-
sion to practice in this state, against
the protestations of his wife, who fear
ed highwaymen. On his way DR.
johnson called upon his cousin w c.
Alvord, assistant cashier in local
bank. What happened at Alvord's has
not been learned, Alvord refusing to
make any statement for publication,
and if he has told the police anything
that transpired the department is
keeping it secret. Alvord's parents
have told the police that after leaving
their home DR.. johnson walked to-
WarQ the fOTQ street DrlQSo. TWO
blocks distant, to go to DR.. Pantons
home. A short time after a car con-
ductor found Johnson's mangled body
lying in Jefferson street, III feet be-
low the bridge. Johnson's pockets
had been turned inside out and his
watch removed. DR.. Johnson's empty
book and keys were found on the
bridge. There were no evidences of a
struggle.
Alvord when first approached by
the newspaper men for a statement
was apparently eager to talk but ex-
cused himself a moment and went to
Mrs Johnson's room. Returning he
informed them Mrs. Johnson was
Frustrated and all further efforts to
get him to make statement were
unavailing. The police met with no
better result. Alvord later on visited
the police headquarters and endeavor-
ed to secure possession of some arti-
cles found on Johnson's body but was
not successful. A visit to the coroner
had better results, that official turning
over to Alvord several articles
Captain Bruin of the police depart
ment inclines to the murder theory.
Yet according to his statements he
does not believe johnson was robbed
but insinuates his belief that the muir
der was due to some more sinister mo-
tive than robbery.

tow for senator. Immediately after
the announcement of simmons cleo
ton he gave out this statement:
Il believe the principal duties of the
office of speaker are to so organize the
Legislature and direct its duties as to
get the very best possible expenditure
of time and this will be my first aim.
I'm line with this, / feel that it is
not the duty of the speaker nor his
privilege to appoint committees to
promote or prejudice any particular
measure. When he does he substi-
tutes his judgment for that of the
house. 1 will endeavor to make up
each committee of men who are best
qualified to handle the questions COM
ing before that committee and who
will be fair and get the matters before
the house promptly and in the best
shape for fair consideration.
''I trust that no effort will be made
to attach any senatorial significance to
my election and when my support
from the friends of nearly every sena-
torial candidate is considered this can
not consistently be DONE"
