was endeavoring to protect her mother
and herself from tramp.
Mrs. He'll and her daughter were
alone in the house when some one
knocked at the door and in response
to their inquiry as to who was there
gruff voice ordered them to open the
door, the alternative being that the
building would be fired The two women
were terror stricken From window
they saw a roughly dressed man. who
went from door to door. vainly trying
to force an entrance.
The daughter went upstairs and got
her fathers revolver. which she did
not know how to use. Her mother told
her to shoot through the door. In at
tempting to do so the young woman
discharged the weapon. but the bullet
hit her mother instead of the door.

The tramp fed at the sound of the
shot and after a time the daughter
summoned UP courage enough to go for
assistance. When medical aid reached
the wounded woman she was conscious
and corroborated her daughters story.
Her case is considered hopeless.

Portland Officials
Make Sensational
Accusation
Declare Kendall Was
Victim of Sfrychnine
Autopsy Reveals the
Disappearance
Of Organs
Startling Phase of
Graft Cases Suggested

PORTLAND. Jan. 16.-The
Evening Telegram publishes the
following:
The family of Oscar ]. Kendall.
the bodyguard of Francis J.
Heney who died suddenly in San
Francisco last Friday. suspect
that he was poisoned and an au-
topsy was held here today. Evi-
dence is said to have been found
strengthening the belief that Ken
dali was the victim of foul play.
Not only did DR.. Sanford Whit
ing, who performed the autopsy,
find the vital organs missing, but
he also discovered strong traces
of strychnine poisoning.
Investigation has disclosed the
fact that the symptoms mani
tested by the patient during his
brief illness, instead of being
those of meningitis. were those of
poisoning. All the information
which has thus far been secured points
so strongly to foul play that thor
ough investigation has been started
by the authorities.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
The most suspicious circumstances
were furnished through the discovery
after the arrival Of the body in this
city that every vital organ in it had
been removed and newspapers stuffed
in their place. Where. when or for
what purpose these organs were re-
moved constitute the mystery which
has aroused the family. friends and
authorities to determined action. Their
mysterious disappearance. coupled
with other strange features of the
case, support the suspicion that Ken
dali was the victim Of foul play.
DR.. Whiting, after performing the
autopsy. made the statement that all
indications point to death by strych-
nine poisoning. This toxic particular
" affects the very organs removed
and any one having a motive to re-
move evidences OF poisoning would
take these organs for his purpose.
With this evidence to work upon an
investigation was Immediately COM
menced at San Francisco relative to
the circumstances surrounding the
sickness and death Of Kendall
Kendall's wife, who was with him in
the hospital at San Francisco when
he passed away, says that her husband
died in commissions Physicians here
expressed doubt that Kendall died OF
spinal meningitis when these facts
were brought to light Symptoms
which attend that illness are said to
have been lacking in the Kendall case.
SYMPTOMS OF POISONING
It is we'll established in medical SCI
ence that convulsions are a symptom
of poisoning, and strychnine poison
ing always causes death by convul-
sions. 1t has been learned that with

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. -
Governor Gillett wants the people
of California to adopt oonstitu-
donal amendment which will
make it impossible for subsequent
legislatures to sandbag the State
for the direct benefit of an army
of retainers and the indirect bene-
fit of themselves as the present
Legislature has done by its
shameless patronage grab. He
admits that he endeavored to
stop the present grab and that the
men whom he called to his aid
found themselves powerless TO
dam the torrent of loot and lust
that has submerged the Thirty
Seventh Legislature in a food of
shame. The Governor admits
that he is powerless 10 take sum-
mary action in the matter and he
asks the press and the people 10
defend the treasury against a rep
etition Of this legislative robbery
by the advocacy and adoption
OF a constitutional amendment
which will limit the legislative
expenditures for attaches to not
more than 5000 or $1,000 a day.
Governor Gillett today said:
"I fully endorse the action Of the
press in denouncing this patronage
question and also hope that It viii
take up the matter OF the passage Of
3 constitutional amendment that will
do away with this evil for all time"
"It is needless for me 10 say that I
deplore the whole wretched business.
] did everyHing could TO stop IT,
When ] learned what was being done
j called in those Senators I could
reach and asked them to fight the
grab. They did what they could, but
were outnumbered. It is outrageous.
but IL cannot be charged to the Repub-
lican party. nor yet can Il be justified
by the fimsy excuse that the people
refused to adopt constitutional
amendment limiting attache expenses.
il is altogether possible that the peo-
pie did not realize IL would have
worked them q saving Of more than
$4,000. 1t may be they thought only
OF the question Of an increased salary
for members and Senators.
Leave the Legislators salary oues-
tion out OF the amendment and let us
have q constitutional provision that
viii make this sort Of thing impossible
in the future. The responsibility is
right now where IL belongs. on the
shoulders Of the individuals in the
Legislature. Unfortunately I cannot
stop the grab by vetoing bills for ap-
propriations for contingent expenses,
because these salaries are hopelessly
mixed UP with perfectly legitimate ap-
propriations. I shall do everything in
my power and ] hope the people will
assist me in preventing repetition OF
this willful waste OF funds"

which there will be grand parade.

shows at cross streets, are among the
attractions featured.
The railroads in the State have made

receiving applications for rooms.
Among the side trips when visiting
Charleston are the Navy Yard, where
there has just been completed one OF

We understand there are some indi-
viduals al Pinewood abusing The
TINES editor for opposing the move
TO give to Sumter. Those people who
are doing this abusing should remem-
Der that men have a right to their
views. and as long as this is a mans
right THE TINES editor will exercise
it regardless of the opinions of others.
In the jud dgment of The TINES editor
there is no necessity to cut off a portion
OF this county to add to another county.
and we believe there are many signers
to the petition who were not fully in
formed. But let that be as it may. we
do not see how Governor Ansel can
order the election until the evidence
that the cut Will not put Clarendon
below the constitutional limit. SnouIo
however, the governor order an elec-
1ion twill be enjoined and the whole
business stopped until there has been
a survey of the county. We said IN
former issue it would not make much
difference if we lost Fulton, we intend
ed to add, provided we could get the
township Greeleyville is located in
from Williamsburg, if we could get
this it would probably even up things
so far as valuation is concerned, and
give to US larger number OF desira-
bic citizenship. AS we are now situa-
ted Clarendon cannot afford to lose
Fulton or an, other township, and
there will be every legal effort made to
prevent it. II we are to be abused by
some at Pinewood for this position, we
can say to those doing the abusing to
continue to their hearts content, we
can stand it, and in the language of the
notorious Henry Smith, don't give a
Billv.''
