MURDER MYSTERY
no TANGIBLE CLUE
TO W0MAN'S SLAYER
Suspect Held Maintains StOlid Indif-
ference and the Police Are
Puzzled.

OAKLAND, Aug. 31.--One link
after another is being added to the
mesh of circumstantial evidence up
on which the police charge Gustav
Arkell with the murder of Mrs. Alice
Lucretia Donahue, wife of Daniel
Donahue, a motorman. Tonight Mrs.
Emma Vera friend of both the sac-
cused and the murdered womaA, pos
itively identified the pair of mud
stained trousers found in Arkells
room as the ones he wore on the
night of the crime, and also identi-
fed the spade concealed under the
factory with Mrs. Donahue's clothing
as belonging to the prisoner.
Perhaps the most tangible clue
was given by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith.
mother of the boy, Frank Walh, who
discovered the murdered woman's
clothing and day later dug. up the
body. Mrs. Smith saw man and a
woman on the night of the murder
lurking in the shadow of the furni-
ture factory, where the body was
found. She remained silent until
now on account of not wishing any
notoriety, but after consulting a
priest today made known the facts.
Arkell after "a hours OF sweating
and solitary confinement stolidly
maintains his innocence, but will tell
nothing of his past or his actions on
the night of the murder.
The police established beyond a
doubt that he was frequently seen in
clandestine meetings with Mrs. Don
ahue; that he owned a spade, that he
bothered her so much that she fire.
quently complained; that Arkell con-
stantly agitated the community with
gossip; that Mrs. Donahue had elop-
ed and not later than week ago de-
clared he saw her in San Francisco.
Arkell was arrested in San Francisco
three years ago on a charge of at
tempting to poison his second wife,
His first wife was drowned and the
last one secured a divorce. The po-
lice say he figured in sensational
eastern police case, but the details
are lacking.
The authorities are confronted with
the task of proving Mrs. Donahue's
murder, as the body is so badly de-
composed that it is impossible to
show strangulation. A chemical
analysis of the viscera may show
poison. A confession from some one
seems the only means of definitely
fixing the cause of death.

spLAwN WILL CARRY KING
Yakima Man Making Great Race for
Democratic Nomination for
Governor.

Although campaigning for less
than a week in King county. A. j.
Splawn. Yakima's candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor,
is confident that he will carry that
county over all competitors. While
nearly all the republican candidates
for governor, including Mead, Nc
Bride and Cosgrove, are spending
their time in Seattle and trying to
drum up crowds they are not attract
ing the attention that Splawn, the
cowboy candidate" is bringing to
himself.
The information is. given in two
letters received in the city Thursday
one from Candidate Splawn to R.
Winsor, Jr. president of the Bryan
Splawn club, and another from Don
H. Upjohn, who is in Seattle and
taking an interest in political situa-
tons there.
Upjohn says that "Splawn's main
antagonist, John Patterson of Col
fax, has been in the field here since
May and his spellbinder has been at
Kent, but failed to arouse half OF the
Splawn enthusiasm. Splawn is al
the Stevens hotel and has been prac-
tically beseiged by democratic ad.
mirefs since his arrival.
"Splawn will poll as large a vote
in King county as the republican
candidates. The republican race here
is close between Cosgrove and Mead
with Mead a probable winner"

READY FOR A.-Y.-P.
OVER MILWAUKEE
ROAD NEXT SPRING
Contractor Tells of Progress OF
Work-Contempt for Mon
tenegrins.

r. D. Beatty. a contractor on the
Milwaukee railroad with headquar-
tiers at Taft, Montana, was in the
city Thursday. Mr.. Beatty says that
the construction on the new road is
progressing rapidly, and that trains
will he running into Seattle handling
traffic for the A.-Y.-P. exposition
next year. The work of tracklaying
in Montana and idaho is being car
ried on by large forces of men, and
the work of installing a telegraph
system is also being carried on.
Mr.. Beatty had in his employ 200
Montenegrins. chiefly because he
could procure no other help. His
opinion of this type of foreigner is
not of the highest. During my stay
in Taft" said Mr.. Beatty, "there
were twelve murders. three assaults
on women. and all kinds of petty
thieving committed by the "Mon-
tes.' Not one of the murderers were
ever punished. or any of the other
criminals caught The miserable
wretches help each other out when in
trouble with the law. A Monte will
not spend a cent on himself, but will
give his last dime to aid criminal
countryman. If any of them ever
took bath or washed his face at
Taft. it was not seen. The English
language has no word to describe the
ornervness and cussedness OF these
people. They are criminals and anar-
chists by instinct. Look at any COM
mnnity that has been afflicted with
these people. and if they have been
there any length of time you will see
where one of them has committed a
particularly brutal murder or das-
tardly crime. The United States
government should place some re-
strictions on these people"
Mr.. Beatty has a couple hundred
photographs and data regarding his
observations of the Montenegrin
which he will use in magazine arti-
Gle in the near future.

MOST TO YAKIMA
HEAVY BAGGAGE SHIPMENTS
FROM EASTERN CITIES
North Yakima Most Talked About
City in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Attracts Many.

Dr. and Mrs. Howich returned
Thursday evening from six weeks
tour OF the United States and Cana
da. The doctor says he was surpris-
ed to find so many inquiries regard
ing the Yakima country. At Mime
apolis while having his baggage
checked for Louisville the baggage
man asked what they had at Yakima
that attracted so many people. He
said that more baggage was checked
for this point form that station than
to any other city of its size in the
northwest The doctor found his
brother-in-law, W. K. Sutherland of
Louisville, very much interested and
gave him some idea of this section
as fruit country When the doctor
and wife arrived Thursday they
found Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland here
awaiting them The latter will look
the country over with view to re-
naming if conditions are favorable.

PIERCE COUNTY
IS FOR JONES
fOnSAkt SMELL FOR YAKlMAN
William Vi. Thompson Finds Scnti-
ment There Against Ankeny--
Smell Weak.

William NJ. thompson of this city.
who returned yesterday from Long
Branch and Tacoma. reports that SEN
timent in Pierce county is strong
against Ankeny. and fearing that
votes for Smell will simply be votes
shrown away, the citizens there are
ready to roll up a large majority for
Yakima Jones.
Mr.. Thompson was in Tacoma Fri
day, the night after Jones speech in
South Tacoma, and everywhere
heard words of praise for the con-
gresham He seems to have made
a particular impression on the work
ingmen. many Of whom came to see
him afterwards and. shaking hands,
declared their intention of voting for
him.
A careful canvass of the lawyers
of the city, many of them personal
friends OF Judge Smell. brought out
the same story. They fear that votes
for Smell will simply mean half
votes for AnSeny. and they will take
no chances but vote sttaight, by vot-
ing for Jones.
AT Long Branch. among the farm
ers there, Mr.. Thompson found much
interest expressed in Jones candi-
dacy. AS a resident of this city he
was asked many questions as to the
candidate and found that the senti-
ment there was much the same as IN
Tacoma. If Judge Smell had entered
the race earlier he would have I'M
doubtedly had the vote of that sec
ton. but now 4 is thought too hope
less and the Smell men will vote for
Jones.
Mr. Thompson met Congressman
Jones Friday and had conversation
with him. He seemed pleased with
the way the campaign was going and
was continually besieged by men who
came up to announce their intentions
of giving him their support at the
polls.

CAN COUNTY BUILD ROADS?
Board of County Commissioners Had
Been Given Work by State
Officials.

Owing to an opinion rendered by
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Taylor
that the county of Yakima has no
right to bid or contract for state road
work, there may be delay in the
improvement of the Summit View
and Redman roads, for which the
state highway commission awarded
contracts to the county.
The opinion of the attorney is that
the law under which the contract was
let is unconstitutional. If this is
supported by Attorney General At
kinson. the county commissioners
will ask that the contract be let to
the next lowest bidder. The opinion
of Attorney Taylor is:
North Yakima, Wash, Aug. 2S, 1908.
Board of County Commissioners,
Yakima County, Washington
Gentlemen:
In answer to your request for the
opinion of this office as to the legali-
ty of the county being awarded the
contract from the state highway
board for the construction of the
State Aid road. known as the Summit
View road, We have to say:
~The statute authorizing such action
on the part of the board of county
commissioners is found in section 8
of chapter $50 of the laws of 1907.
The title of the act reads as follows:
"An act to provide for the improve
ment of the public highways, provid-
ing for the payment of cost thereof
in part out of the public highway
fund of this state. and in part out
of the general road and bridge fund,
district road fund and property bene-
fitted, and making an appropriation
therefor"
A careful examination of this I'll
tie shows that it relates only to the
improvement of the public highways
and to the manner of the making of
the improvement and the payment of
the cost of the same. This title is
a broad general title which would
embrace and support almost any pro-
vision contained in the statute itself
which would be necessary or conve-
nient according to the usual course
of procedure in the construction of
| highways and the improvement there
of. but IL seems to us that the pro-
vision found in section of the stat
] ute authorizing the county commits

Winter Forage.

The question of winter forage and
pasturage is one of the greatest i'm
pOrtance in the Southern States, and
Carleton r. Ball, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, was sent by the De-
partment of Agriculture early in the
past year 10 make an investigation IN
several of the Gulf States. In his re
port Mr.. Ball says. amongst other
things: THE production of Southern
hay has been a question long under
discussion. The amount produced and
the yield per acre have both increased
steadily and encouragingly during the
Is st few years. On every hand it is
admitted that it is both possible and
necessary to raise all that is needed
for home consumption. Alfalfa, Ber-
muda grass, Johnson grass. crab grass
and cowpeas furnish an abundance of
hay of the very best quality. This hay
can be produced much more cheaply
than an equal quality can be shipped
] in from Northern and Western States.
With better transportation facilities
and an increasing demand, the produc-
ton Will become more and more profit
able. At the same time, with hay
raised on the home plantations, and
hence cheaply and readily available,
larger quantities are being used in
feeding the plantation stock"
