PORTLAND, May 5.-The Portland
police are looking for Edward H.
Martin of Portland, former employe
III the city engineers office, on the sus-
picion of completely in and of the mur-
der of Nathan Wolff, the spawnbroker
who was found dead. his body horribly
mutilated and his safe robbed, last
Friday evening.
Martin has not been seen for several
days He is thought to have left the
city for a Puget Sound point last Sun
day. .rs
The blood -smeared shirt that was
found in the rear of a Second street
lodging house Monday is believed to
have belonged to Martin.
The detectives expect to be able t.
announce Martins arrest at any mo-
n1ent.
The detection of Martin was rendered
doubly difficult because Of the fact that
the bloody shirt which finally led 20
his detection was not marked with
Martins name but with the name of
lis previous owner, who had left it
at local pawn shop.
Here Martin procured it, gave his
name and address to the pawnbroker
when he purchased the shirt and this
was the first direct clue the police Sc
cured.
The garment was next seen when it
the lodging house in the North End. 1t
was sreared with blood and torn.
This fact with the sudden disappear
ance OF Martin, point to his guilt in
ar iTrefutable manner asserts Captain
of Detectives Baty. Martin was arrest
ed last winter for having opium in his
possession but was later released
A few days ago the suspected man
sold his surveyors instruments to
local stationery and book company.
Henry II. Martin, the man the police
are looking for in connection with the
Nathan Wolff murder is a graduate OF
West Point Military college, Fordham
college, New York Law school and the
University of Oregon. He is 80 years
of age. He is said to have been ill of
late. He was a temporary employee in
the city engineers office. He was last
seen by his wife. Sunday evening.

BEFORE CONGRESS sAOJOURNs
WISCONSIN SENATOR WOULD
TAKE TARIFF MATTERS OUT
OF POLITICS.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-If Senator
IaFollette's health returns before the
adjournment of the senate it is stated
that he will deliver a tariff speech In
which Re will take unusual grounds.
Just prior to leaving the senate for a
sick bed. LaFollette introduced a tar
in commission measure providing for 4
strictly nom partisan commission on
which large business interests and
communities should be properly re
Sptctel
He proposed that the commission
should be paid high salaries, be per-
ranent and have the whole subject
Of tariff schedules turned over to it.
THIS would virtually operate to take
the tariff out of politics. In support of
the measure it is said LaFollette will
make 4 speech which will be hardly
less sensational than was his recent
money speech.

TO SEE THE FLEET
NORTHERN PACIFIC MAY RUN
SPECIAL DAYLIGHT ExcrR-
SION TO SEATTLE.

Some 800 people, it is intimated. will
so from here to see the fleets arrival
in Seattle On May 90. Many more from
towns near here are contemplating the
trip and from all indications the excur-
sion from this part Of the state will
be greater than ever before in the his
tory of the country
To accommodate these sightseers
who wish to take the trip, the North.
ern Pacific railroad company will in
all probability run a special daylight
train from this city. Dayton and Pend
Teton. The definite announcement of
this train has not been made, but suf-
ficient interest has been shown in the
matter that General Agent S. b. Cald-
erhead this morning. teiegraphed his
recommendation of the service and II is
safe to say that an order for the train
will be granted.
The train will leave Dayton with
about three coaches and from Walla
Walla with about seven or eight Two
or three from Pendleton by the way oe
Hunts Junction will probably be added
and there is no doubt but that the train
will consist Of 10 coaches, at the
smallest estimate. not less than eight.
with the prOba bifities that the result
will be many more
The running of this train will be a
the trip to Seattle to see the fleet. In
event the train was not run the trip
would have to be taken at night and
as the sleeping accommodations are
always full on normal occasions, II
would mean sitting up all night for
those who wished TO go. But with the
excursion, ample accommodations will
be furnished for all. stops will be made
probably at Ellensburg. for lunch and
the whole trip will be taken in day
light.
Interest in the city has been growing
as the time for the coming Of the fleet
approaches and that the largest ex-
cursion ever run to the coast will leave
here. there is little doubt. The train
will leave walla Walla, Friday morn
ing. May %, about o'clock.
