He related his armours with Nine.
SteinheiI, but insisted that Nine.
Steinheil could not have hoped to
marry him after obtaining divorce
from Steinheil as she declared to
BordeI she intended to do, because
he had advised her against obtaining
the divorce and told her he would
never marry her on account Of his
children. Magistrate Andre tonight
ordered that autopsies be perform
ed on Steinheil and Nine, Japy on
the new theory that they were pois-
oned before they were strangled,
Couillard testified that he saw Nine,
Steinheil pour wine for her husband
and her stepmother on the night Of

RAIN STOPS FUN.
Seriously Interferes With Program
For Men Of the Fleet.

MANILA, Nov. 2S. "A steady
downpour Of rain continued here all
day, seriously interfering with the
program of the reception TO the men
of the Atlantic feet. A brave at
tempt was made to carry out the
elaborate program of the military
hippodrome, which was the feature
of the days entertainment, but the
participants in the various events
were drenched and the grounds con-
verted into veritable morass, rem
dering 1t impossible to continue.
The sailors are evidently glad Of the
opportunity to stretch their legs
ashore after the long confinement
aboard ship and despite the storm
hundreds Of bluejackets plodded
through the sodden and rain-swept
streets Of the city all afternoon bent
on seeing the sights Of the town.

ROOSEVELT ON CHINA.
President VIII Write For The "Out-
look" When he Retires.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The cur
rent issue Of the Outisok contains
an article by President Roosevelt on
the @Awakeninf OF China" Although
Mr.. Roosevelt will not become an
associate and advisory editor Of the
magizine until after he retires from
Office.
In the article Mr.. Roosevelt, after
speaking Of the. Christian influence
which Is being exerted in China says:
"The awakening Of China is one
Of the great events Of our age, and
the remedy for the Yellow peril,
Whatever that may be, is not repres-
sion Of life, but the cultivation and
direction OF life. Here at home we
believe that the remedy for popular
discomfort is not repression but jus
tiee and education
Similarly the best way to aver
possible peril, commercial or military
from the great Chinese people is b.
behaving righteously toward then
and by striving to inspire right
eous life among them. Our Christian
missions have for their objects no
only the saving of souls, but tht
imparting Of life that makes pos
sible the kingdom Of God upor
earth.
"As Bishop Brent has said, now i
the time for the West to implant it
ideals in the Orient and in such ;
fashion as to minimize the chance o
dreadful future clash between two
radically different and hostile civil
vations; If we await until tomorrow
we may find that we have waistec
too long"

A BURGLAR NEMESIS.
Chicago Banker Has q Theory About
Two RobberieS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S, John v.
Clarke, president Of the Hibernian
Banking Association, has started the
police on a still hunt for burglar
nemesis, who, he believes, robbed his
residence Wednesday evening in ex-
eeution Of vow made II years ago.
AT that time Mr.. Clarke surprised a
burglar in his house. The robber was
sentenced by Judge Windes to u
years IN the penitentiary. AS be was
leaving the court room he glared al
Mr.. Clarke and hissed: "l'll see
you again as soon as I'm free"
Tie was liberated few weeks ago.
This fact, coupled with the dserimi-
nation shown in choosing only cas-
lily pawned loot" convinced Mr.,
Clark that the man who robbed his
house this week Is an old-timer and
probably Is the same one that rob-
bed him before.

FIERCE GAME PLAYED AT

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 2S.-In
one Of the. fercest football games
seen on Franklin Field this year, the
army vanquished the navy this after

The Annapolis boys entered the

while the cadets only hoped to win,
The army victory, Notwithstanding
the strength shown, was due more to
misjudged punt by one Of the
navy's backs than to the good work
of the opposing team, but the latter
took advantage Of the misplay and
lost no opportunity in making a
score. The navy's four points, how
ever, were earned by hard and con-
stant playing.

"HELLO RALPH" SAID FINCH
The Victim Was Chairman Of the
Grievance Committee of Oregon
Bar Association and Had Received
Anonymous Threatening Letters.

PORTLAND, Nov 28 James
Finch, disbarred lawyer, shot and
killed Ralph Fisher, chairman Of the
grievance committee Of the Oregon
Bar Association, at o'clock this
afternoon. The murder took place
lin the Mohawk building at Third and
Morrison streets.
Chester ". Dolph, an attorney on
the same floor Of the Mohawk build
ing, captured the murderer as he en-
| tered the elevator to make his es-
cape. Dolph took away the still
smoking revolver and turned the as
sassin over to the police, who had
been notified BY DR.. Roberts, whose
office is in the room adjourning Fish
ler's office.
Dr. H. F. Leonard, whose Office IS
| just across the hall, heard the shot
and was the FIRST person to enter the
room where the killing was done, He
ibid all he could to revive Mr., Fisher,
but found that death must have been
instantaneous. The bullet from the
murderer's pistol entered the back Of
the head at the base Of the brain.
AS far as is known the only wit
ness to the shooting was Verna
Burkhardt, Fishers stenographer.
She ran to the elevator and entered
at the same time as the murderer.
The bellboy, seeing the smoking
gun, thought that Finch was trying
to murder the girl and his cries for
assistance brought Attorney Dolph
from his Office.
Finch made slight resistance
when the attorney reached under his
lcoat to get the revolver, but seemed
dazed and kept muttering, "Send for
1.-THE sheriff, send for the sheriff"
The murderer was led to nearby
room, where he was detained BY his
