DICKER MADE TO
SAVE ONO

The question of successor of
w. G.. Estep, who resigned as coun-
Gilman from the Third ward, will
probably be settled when the coun-
Gil meets on Tuesday night. 1t is
claimed that the principal question
entering in is Commissioner J. T.
Omo's job. The democratic ma
jority of the council, which opposes
any change in Omo's place despite
the fact that he is a republican. has
made a decker with Jake Schiller
of the Third ward.
Councilman Lambert, republican,
stands with the democrats on the
question Of Omo's job, and with
Schiller taking the same stand. the
democrats can thus prevent Mayor
Moore ousting him.
Asked as to who he would sug-
gest successors to Commissioners
ONO and Roy, both Of whose terms
have expired, the mayor stated that
John Wetzel would be one, but that
for the other he had half dozen
persons under consideration. Cor
don c. Corbaley. he says, does not
want the job now. He is working
for Arthur d. Jones and has good
enough job where he is.

S7EFFENS TELLS HOW CLEVELAND
WON LOW FARE FIGHT

bear to obscure from the people
that 1t was principle, not politics,
for which they were to vote. Ma
tional politics were brought into
the campaign.
Theo. Burton, a man who has
figured largely in national affairs,
backed by the support of the presi-
dent himself, sought election. Yet
through the whole campaign the
people of Cleveland never lost
sight OF the real issues, Of the real
significance of the campaign and
the influences. corporate and po-
litical, that were being injected in
to 1t.
And when election day came,
they cast their votes for an issue,
not party. They proved that they
have become educated to a higher
realization Of citizenship than the
voters in any other municipality.
Cleveland, however, has had one
great advantage. She has had a
great leader. In Tom l.. Johnson
this city has had a leader who not
only inspired confidence, but who
has achieved. His battles have
been battles In behalf of his people,
and he has stood unwaveringly for
principles.
Four years ago | found Cleve-
land the best governed city. Since
that time | have not failed to fol-
low both her growth and the
growth OF other cities in municipal
ideals and achievements. Cleve-
land still leads.
Other cities all over the country
are lining up to follow Cleveland in
municipal reform. But by the time
they reach the point where Cleve-
land now stands. Cleveland will
have gone still further forward.

TORTURE
MARTIN IN TORRENTS OF
CRAVING FOR DRUG RE-
FUSES CONFESSION TO MUIR.
DER OF NATHAN WOLFF.

PORTLAND, May Mrs. Ed
ward Hugh Martin will stick by
her husband. No word of hers will
be uttered on the witness stand
that would assist in sending the ex-
army officer to the gallows. She
declared this to the police last
night, standing outside the heavily
grated door which barred her from
her husband. Her action is seri-
GUS blow to the prosecution.
Martin declares he can prove an
alibi. Attorneys have been secured
to defend him. Mrs. Martin called
at the Jail to visit her husband AS
she leaned forward to kissed him
through the bars she was pulled
back by an officer and refused the
privilege. She turned upon the de-
tectives and told them, with blaz-
ing eyes, that Martin would be
cleared of the murder charge il
her efforts were of any avail. At
the same time she admonished her
husband to say nothing to anyone.
your fathers attorneys in New
York are securing counsel for you"
she said. 1t was the first kindly
word the drug victim had received
since incarceration.
Late last night the police found
a blood stained overcoat and rifle
In vacant lot near the waterfront.
The coat has been partially identi-
fed as one similar to one Martin
was known to town. Executors Of
the Wolff estate declare that ex-
animation of the stock in the
pawn shop shows that the rifle is
missing. Martin denies ownership
Of the overcoat.
The police sent Martin through
all the agonies OF the inquisition by
refusing his drug drenchei system
the stimulant it craved terribly.
For hours he paced his narrow cell,
pleading with the guards to relieve
the awful hunger.
Finally his weakened knees

Then detectives came to the cell
door dangling a hypodermic syringe
full Of morphine before his fevered
eyes and tempted him to confess
the crime and take the drug.
But Martin did not confess. The
offer OF bride seemed to brace
him, for he turned his back to the
officers, closed his lips and did not
make another sound.
Finally the authorities, despair
ing Of breaking the former West

weakened system desired.

doesn't go there any more.

WAS DEAD Man
TO BLAME?

Someone is to blame for the ter
rible accident at the Washington
st. bridge which sent H. w. Engel-
king and G. Powell to their death
over the falls. Corporation Coun-
sci Hamblen has charge Of an in
vestigation that Is in progress for
the purpose of safeguarding the
city and preparing defense in
case damage suits are brought.
1t was stated by Mayor Moore
this morning that Powell one of
the victims, was in charge of the
crew of men that was taking the
false work out from under the
south arch, and that he superin-
tended the attaching Of the rope
to the raft. j. M. Reager was sta
toned at the "snub," and he is
generally blamed for paying out the
rope at the call of Powell, who be-
came frightened when the raft tilt
ed under water. He claims he was
obeying orders and paved out the
rope until he was holding only the
bare end and could not endure the
strain longer. 1t is evident that
the fellow servant" plea will enter
strongly into any defense the city
may have to make.
Mrs. Engelking, who has been
i'll, was at the Deaconness hospital
at the time of the accident and was
not notified until last night. She
bore the news heroically. This
morning she was well enough to go
to her home in Monroe park. She
had no other support than her hus-
bands wages.
The bodies have not been found.
