ST.. and today the police were seeking
man known as her husband who dis
appeared two weeks ago, when the
crime Is believed to have been COM
mitted. Bloody finger prints on the
door knob and mantle are clues by
which the police expect to run down
the slayer. .ss---..--...s .--
DR.. Steele. OF Bellevue hospital. who
examined the body, said that the girl
had been dead two weeks and gave II
as his opinion that she had been
drugged before she was killed.
Two razors were found In the room.
one underneath the body Of the victim.
This was nicked and broken at the
handle and was undoubtedly used In
committing the crime. The police,
who made a thorough examination OF
the room. declared that the slayer had
apparently returned to the room sew
eral times after killing the girl and
destroyed all evidence that might lead
to his or the girls identification. The
crime was discovered by Policeman
Scherer, of the Fifth-st. station. who
had been summoned by Mrs. Smiler.
janitress Of the house. who said she
had tried repeatedly to get into the

The policeman broke It In and found
the girl dead on the bed.
The place was in state OF almost
indescribable disorder. due TO the fact
that the man who had killed her. had
spent considerable time destroying
every scrap Of evidence. There were
picture frames on the bureau and
mantle, some Of them of expensive
silver. From these the pictures had
been withdrawn or cut out. In the
stove was a heap Of ashes and charred
paper. showing that every scrap OF
writing had been burned.
The womans clothes had disappear
ed or had been torn into shreds until
they were beyond identification. The
only living thing in the apartment
were some goldfish In bowl
Mrs. Gussie Smiler. the janitress
was able to throw but little light on
the tragedy and her story about the
mysterious actions of the couple add
ed TO the interest OF the police In the
crime and their belief that there Is
some strange motive back OF the muir
der
On Oct 10, according to Mrs. Smii
er, man about 80 years old with
black hair. black mustache and a
dark complexion, finely dressed with
diamond scarf pin and rings. and
wearing a handsome fur lined over
coat, called upon her and looked at
some apartments. He selected the
apartment known as No. 2. large
room and buffet Kitchen. and
promptly paid months rent In ad-
vance from roll of bills. He said
that his wife and himself had just
returned from California and would
remain at the house until he had es-
tablished himself In business. He
said he was ladies' tailor.
ThGt evening the man brought the
woman, who seemed about rs years
old. She was richly gowned and
wore many diamonds. He called her
Flora" and by that name she was
known to the tenants. The only
clues found In the room were a re-
ceipted bill for jewelry from firm In

SENATOR FULTON's BLUNDER.

From Washington comes the news
that Fulton has failed utterly to in
terest the administration in his move
TO debauch the Oregon legislature
and TO thwart the will Of the people
OF this state.
What did Fulton expect? Did he
think that President Roosevelt or Mr..
Taft would join hands In scheme
50 dastardly as the one to defeat
Governor Chamberlain after the peo-
pie have chosen legislature in which
a majority Of the members are pledg-
ed TO his election?
Apparently Senator Fulton hoped
the administration would interfere in
his behalf At least his press agents
announced with much gusto that Full
ton was consulting with the presi-
dent and the presldent-elect upon the
subject Of the Oregon senatorshlp.
But the aid Of the administration
could not have been reasonably ex-
pected. President Roosevelt does not

FINISH THE WORK.

Each day brings added strength to
the movement in behalf of the woolen
mill. So much money has now been
pledged for the enterprise that sue
cess is all but certain. The goal is
now in sight. With but a little more
work it will be attained
Yesterday the woolgrowers began
manifesting more interest in the prop
osition. Several of them intimate
they will take stock One has already
agreed to invest $1,000 in the enter
prise.
From the start the East Oregonian
has held that the sheepmen of the
county should aid in saving the mill.
= is 10 their interest to have mill
here. The presence of the mill Gre
ates a local wool market that results
to their advantage.
Since they are to share in the bene-
fits of the mill the woolgrowers
should aid in keeping it here. Now
is the time for them to come to the
front.
The woolgrowers of this county
constitute a strong aggregation. They
have money. influence and organiza-
ton. In what they undertake they
usually succeed. Let them join in
the wooden mill movement and pull it
through to success.
And let every loyal business man
and property owner of the city join
in the work Of rescuing the mill. 1t
is a movement in behalf Of all the
people. The welfare Of the town and
the good name of Pendleton are in
volved in the fight.
Now is the time for action. Let
those who like the town and who
want to see it grow and prosper, join
hands with those who are out to
keep the mill. To the dogs with tho
petty things that have blocked the
movement and endangered its sue

The past year has witnessed no ces-
sation in the use of cement which
can be interpreted as reflecting upon
its utility. On the contrary there
has been a marked increase in its
use in many branches Of work. Oc-
casions have occurred where popular
demand has compelled official recog-
milton of the economy of cement in
public enterprises, indicating that its
value in that respect is pretty gener-
ally understood by the people at
large. As a leading New York daily
recently expressed it, cement has be-
come as much a staple as wheat or
steel, and is absolutely essential in
practically every important construc-
tive and engineering undertaking at
the present time"

THE FATE OF ALEXIS.

There is pathos in the plight Of
poor old President Alexis, the down.
fallen ruler of Hayti. Oversee years
of age he has been driven from his
country amidst the insults and jeers
of his people.
Upon leaving his palace to take
refuge on a French warship the old
fellow was nearly killed by people
who but a week before had rendered
homage. He was dazed.
They always cheered me when I
appeared in the streets and have al
ways labored for their good" he ex>
claimed mournfully.
Alas, Alexis. They probably would
have treated him equally as shameful
" no matter what kind of a presi-
dent he had been. 1t is in the blood
of the Haytian people. Revolutions
down there are like the storms that
blow across the Caribbean. They arr
as sudden and as reasonable.
And America may well take warn
ing. In the Philippines there are mil
lions of people who are ages behind
the Haytians in intellectual advance
ment. These people the United States
has undertaken to instruct in the ele-
ments Of civilization. After we have
taught them, they will rise and stat

WHO Is TO BLAME?

There is something wrong with the
manner in which the government
asks for filings upon land under the
Umatilla project.
Yesterday some valuable tracts Of
land under the project We're filed
upon by people who CHANGED to learn
that the land was open for entry.
As far as this paper knows the only
formal announcement made by the
government is that contained in an
official notice published in the Weekly
East Oregonian of December 4. The
paper was not published until after
the filings had been made
Once before the same thing occur
red. so it is said. Land under the
project was thrown open to entry
without notice being given. A few
fortunate ones profited as they did
yesterday.
To the credit of all concerned i
may be said that no accusations ot
crookedness have been made agains
anyone, though there is much com
plant from those who did not share
lin the secret.
But there is a screw loose" some
where. Someone has blundered
though the mistake may have bee,
an innocent one. It is a serious blum
der. If it is repeated it will be t,
the injury of the Umatilla project.
Who is to blame?
