Umatilla, Ore, Nov. 26.-That one
OF the most dastardly murders in the
history of this region has been COM
mitted with Charles Mickels, sup
posedly Of Pilot Rock as the victim,
is evidenced by discoveries just made.
The body of the unfortunate victim
was found near the o. r. & n. tracks,
five miles east of this place yesterday
and the evidence points conclusvely
to a brutal murder.
While riding the range for ]. B.
Switzler, Earl Shaw came across the
body Of the dead man. He at once
rode TO Umatilla and word was i'm
mediately sent to Sheriff Taylor and
Ia coroner Ralph Folsom. a party
was then formed and left Pendleton
last night for the scene of the out
rage. Those in the party were Sheriff
Taylor, Deputy Sheriff Pert Wilson,
Coroner Ralph Folsom and f. F.
Averill, of the East Oregonian staff.
\ Murder Revealed.
When the party arrived on the
scene this morning a terrible sight met
the gaze of those in the group. The

road know the conditions under
 which the subway plan would be con
 sidered as an alternative to moving
 the New Haven tracks to West Spring
 field.
 At the hearing before the railroad
 commissioners July 31. Engineer
 Wheeler explained the plans. At the
 continued nearing September IS it
 was explained to the commissioners
 that the death of President Mellen's
 father and the illness of MT. McHenry
 had prevented the New Haven road from working out the amended plans, and the hearing was continued to Oc- tober 16. Judge James R. Dunbar at
 the hearing said he thought the sub way plan was being favorably receiv- ed in Springfield. He also said that MT. Mellen was desirous of settling the matter as soon as possible.
 Since that time reports of progress
 have been made on the plans MT. , Parsons went to New Haven to con- suit with MT. McHenry, and it was
 definitely stated as late as Thursday
 be here Saturday. Friday, however,
 MT. McHenry wrote that important engagements prevented his coming,
 but that he had asked MT. Wheeler to come and that he would surely be
 here. On Saturday, however. came letter from Colonel Benton saying
 that important engagements prevent ed MT. Wheeler from being here. He SdlQ that the pldue5 udu OSeH SSIII, UuI indicated that he considered them MT. Parsons and the city's. and that they were not to be regarded as the New
 Haven's. It can easily be shown that in all the talk about the\ subway so- lution the advisory commissioners have never been advocates. The sub way was the suggestion of the New
 Haven road. and the road was told that. as presented. it would not be
 considered, but. if amended, might be considered. That is why Colonel
 Bentons letter caused wrath.
 Engineer Parsons was decidedly surprised at the letter diSclaiming the New Haven roads acquiescence in the plans. which he had believed, dur ing the time he has been working on them and conferring with MT. Me Henry were the plans which the rail- road favored and wished to further. Similar inconsistency in the attitude
 of President Mellen and the action of his subordinates in previous instances were suggested by some of those pres ent. The advisory commissioners ap parently feel that hereafter if they are to have conferences with the New Haven road or enter into agreements or understandings as to any feature of the river-front problem they will | choose to do business with President Mellen and not through subordinates whose actions in this case do not
 seem to tally well with the position taken by MT. Mellen and stated by l him before the commission.

Springfield, Mass, Oct. 11.-A pe- culiar proceeding on the part of the New Haven railroad was brought out at the meeting of the Springfield river front advisory commission on Satur- day afternoon. and the result of it has been to throw the problem back to about where it was when the river front bill was passed by the legisla- ture. In fact, the commission has vir- tually broken off negotiations with the New Haven road. and will ask the railroad commissioners to go ahead under the special act and see that something is done. This action was taken unanimously by the local com missioners. in whom there was arous- ed a feeling of intense disgust at the slipperiness of the railroad officials.
 The meeting of the local commits sioners was called for the inspection of the revised subway plans of the the New Haven road. providing for tracks wholly underground from the Long meadow line to a point north of the Boston & Albany tracks: Vice-Pres1- dent B. H.~McHenry of the New Ha- ven road and William Barclay Par sons, the city's advisory engineer. were to have been present to explain the plans. But MT. McHenry did not come. nor did B. T. Wheeler. another important member of the roads en- SitlSSIluS lOTCc. All lIldI Olo SOllAS from the road was a letter from Col. J. H. Benton, MT. Mellen's chief law yer, stating that the plans which had been sent up were not the New Ravens s but the citys. This was too much for the commissioners. who straightway voted to have City Solicitor F. C.. Wooden appear before the railroad commissioners at their adjourned meeting at Boston next Saturday and tell them that the New Haven road had presented no plans. and put the matter in their hands with the request that they go ahead under the special act and see that something is done.
 The action of the New Haven road regarding the meeting and the plans that were to be presented impresses the local commissioners as decidedly queer. The subway plan. involving two-level union station located be- tween Main street and the river, orig mated with the New Haven road and drawings were submitted by the road to the advisory commission in July The plans provided for the depression of tracks to begin at point near Margaret street. This did not at all satisfy the commissioners. who pass ed a resolution that the mayor should say to MT. Mellen that if the subway were begun at the Longmeadow line the commissioners would give the plan consideration. They did not com init themselves to the plan in any way and did not in any sense father it. They merely let the New Haven
