STRANGE ACTS
OF MURDERERS

Cleveland, o., Aug. 12.-Circum-
stances surrounding the death of
William l.. Rice, near his palatial
Euclid Heights home, were revealed
today by John Hardness Brown, a
millionaire who was a witness at the
coroner's inquest. Rice at one time
was attorney for Brown in litigation
over valuable property.
Brown said that on the night Rice
was killed he saw two automobiles
in the Derbyshire road and was told
that a man was dying. He offered
assistance, which was declined, be-
ing assured by the men that they
were doctors and that everything
possible was being done.
Brown went home and telephoned
to a hospital, whittier the men said
they would take their charge. He
was told that the man had died at
the hospital and was taken to the
morgue.
After calling the morgue on the
telephone several times he learned
that the man had been murdered
and that he was Rice.
Brown said that he aid not know
of any enemies Rice might have had.

get people to go to this expe nse to
connect with the new system. The
total expense of such connection is
estimated at 100000. If the city
purchases the plant it will save the
property owners this amount. If
the city should install a system of its
own in competition with the present
plant, it would be years before the
revenue derived from the city plant
would Fay interest on the bonds.
The main reason that a new system
installed by the city would not pay
interest, would be the refusal of
such men as are now fighting the
purchase of the present plant to
connect with the new city system
The shortage would then have to be
raised by taxes. If the city pur-
chases the present plant, the immedi-
ate returns to the city from water
rents would be large enough so that
no additional tax would ever have
to be levied to meet the interest.

the Oregonian this morning says:
"In connection with Rev. Mr.. Hol-
lingshead's probable return to the

feet that Rev. w. H. Selleck for six
years pastor at Salem First Church,
may be appointed on the Portland or
Eugene district, and that Rev. Mr..
Hollingshaad may succeed him at
Salem Another version is that Rev
Mr.. Selleck may be appointed to
Centenary church to succeed Rev.
Mr.. Wilson, who has been elected
National secretary OF temperance
work for Methodism.
THAT Rev. Mr.. Selleck will be
moved from Salem, is said to be GER
tain, although he has had what
Methodist ministers in general agree
is one Of the most remarkable sue
cessful pastorates in the Oregon con-
ference. At Cottage Grove one year
ago it was virtually certain for a time
that he was to be sent to Centenary
and DR.. Wilson to Salem, but in the
end the Bishop changed neither.
REV. NJ. c. Wire has served his
full term as superintendent Of Eu-
gene district and Bishop Smith will
have to appoint some one to succeed
him. For the superintendencies of
Portland and Eugene districts rum
ors concern the names of Rev. Mr..
