CHICAGO, April l6.-A real estate

apartment Hotel for 100000.
In 1904 Mr., Morley in an effort to
save his daughter, from tuberculosis
exchanged pulpits with a minister at
Las Vegas, N. NJ, Shortly afterwart

prosperity, He bought more land
and sold it at a large profit and with
in two years was owner Of attract now

LOOKS LIKE SUICIDE PACT.
Three Negroes Found Poisoned
About The Same Time.

NEW YORK, April f6.--That ster-
eotyped occurrence familiarly known
as the suicide pact had its variation
here early today in a three cornered
affair in which the principals were all
negroes. All three are suffering from
the effect of strychnine poisoning and
are in a critical condition, They were
taken to Bellevue Hospital late last
night almost simultaneously after
having been found on the street. The
police are inclined to think that there
was an agreement between them to
end their lives.
The first victim was Dorothy Har-
ris, 20 year old negress who was
found in semi-conscious condition
in East Fourth Street. Seven min7
utes later Jesse Brown, the ianitor Of
a fiat in Front of which the woman
was ofund, was picked up not far
away and rushed TO the hospital. A
few minutes, later Joseph Rector an
other negro, was found in the same
street writhing with convulsions. The
condition of the three was too serious
to permit Of questioning this morn

A Temporary Restraining Order
Was Issued Yesterday Against
Fish Warden MCAlllsier
MATTER IN COURTS NOW
- An Immediate Hearing 10 Expected
on Question. However, and Attor-
ney.General 10 Confident Closed
Season WIN be Enforced by Court

Over the long distance phone last
night Fish Warden MeAllister stated
20 the Astorian that restraining OF
der had been issued out OF Judge
Gantenbein's court In Portland yes
terday enjoining him from interfering
with the fishermen In their attempts
10 6sh In the Willamette river.
The order read that the FISH warden
} and all others serving under him
were 20 be thus restrained until
further order from the court The
meaning OF the proceeding to that a
temporary restraining order has been
issued, and until !, Is settled the ish
warden Is powerless 20 enforce the
order OF the board against any fishing
in the Willamette river during the
closed seasoa, Probably there will
be a. immediate hearing on the mat
ter, perhaps today or Monday, aud Il
Is said the at,orney'general Is satls-
fed that the restraining order viii
not be upheld or made permanent
The order reads that temporarily
there shall be no interference with
the fishing on the Willamette from
Oregon City or Willamette Falls 70
the confluence OF the Willamette with
the Columbia,
The closed season commenced
Thursday, and Mr. MeAllister said
that the first day one fisherman went
out on the Willamette, and he was
promptly arrested He was sent out
with the idea OF making a test case,
Friday night the river was covered
with fishermen and yesterday Mr.
MeAllister eoniseated about 10 tons
of fish, and then came the restraining
order.
The whole plan of breaking in on
the order Of the board rests on mere
technieality, The LAW requires that IN
ease Of such orders the board shall
post notices along the river front ~
conspicuous places for a period OF ~
days before the time set for the order
10 70 into effect. 1t seems that the
orders were not actually posted tol
the required period Of 80 days, and
the fishermen rest their case on thi:
fact Whether the failure TO have
ne notices up for the full 80 days
will inyalidate the order remains tc
be seen.
II is understood that the attorney
general is preparing to go before th'
