ker, confetti" has already been
thrown into the air. King Priscus, at

MURDER CASE
MAY DEVE[OPE
SHOOTING OF PORTLAND DETEc-
TIVE LEADS TO QUESTION
OF HOW 1T OCCURRED
POLICE THINK HE WAS MURDER
ED BUT RELATIVES THINK
SUICIDE LIKELY.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. "A T..
Barnes, an, operative of a detective
agency in this city is dead as the re-
suit of a revolver shot. Charles Mapes,
q fellow emp.oye is detained without
bail by the police on the order of the
district attorney pending an inquest
by the coroner, into the circumstances
surrounding the shooting which occur
ed late today, in a room used as a
lounging place by employees of the
agency, where Mapes and Barnes had
been playing cards.
The weapon which was the cause of
Barnes death is an old fashioned sin
gle action revolver of large calibre.
According to the story told by Mapes
10 the police Barnes was tWirling the
revolver by the trigger guard, when
it suddenly discharged, the bullet strik-
ing Barnes just below the nose and
ranging upward into the brain.
The police detectives say that they
cannot see how it would be possible
for a single action revolver to be-
come discharged in the manner de-
scribed by Mapes
ID. l.. Clouse manager of the detec-
tive agency stated to the police that
Barnes and his wife Gid not agree,
and expected tn opinion that the man
man committed suicide.
Mrs. Barnes when questioned by the
police declared that, she and her hus-
band had never had any trouble She
said they were married four years
ago at Los Angeles. Cal, and that
their married life had been a happy
one. She believes that her husband
met death by accident.
Detectives Carpenter and Price of
the police department say they are
convinced that it is a case of murder
or suicide. They place no credence
in the accident story.

their campaign over into the new
year, being overcome meantime by
the requirements of the money mar
ket and the conviction that the politi-
cal outlook threatened the welfare of
the corporations. Another view is
that distribution of last years ac-
cumulations was actually effected
while prices were held up by manip-
ulation, following which the fall in
prices is seen with complacency by
the powerful capitalist groups, if not
actually fostered by professed alarm
and by recall of credits through the
control held over the great banking
institutions.

HEAVY LIQUIDATION IN coNSE-

ROADS ON PRICES.
Renewed outpourng of Stocks and
Abstention From Support Sends
Spectators Into Depths.

NEW YORK, Feb. z. - Extreme
prostration of demand was the con-
spicuous feature of the stock market
today The heavy liquidation, in con-
prices. The extent of the selling last
week and of the resulting declines,
followed by the week end rally, had
inclined speculative sentiment to look
for a steadier market The renewed
outpouring of stocks and the determ-
ined abstention of effective support,
threw speculative sentiment back into
depths of depression. Buying on a
scale down is to be rolled on always
except in periods of downright panic.
but orders of this class today We're
encountered on steady concessions in
prices and any attempt to bid up
prices in face of the flood was not to
be detected. That eevry sale was
saying and that such purchases have
represented a passing of stocks from
stronger to weaker hands for some
time past is the conviction of a con-
siderable body of opinion in the stock
market.
AS to the sources of liquidation
there expressed fairly defined divis-
ion of opinion On one side is the
view that the great capitalist groups
which accumulated constantly last
year. missed an opportunity to sell
out at the high prices, by carrying

MENCE ARGUMENT TODAY
HARVEY SCOTT ON STAND

PORTLAND, Ore Feb. THE de-
velopment of new testimony which the
defense wished to introduce and a
more extended examination of the re-

Counsel stated just prior to adjourn
ment of court for the day that they
would finish during the first few min
utes of tomorrow's session Should
this occur, Prosecutor Heney will
probably begin his argument to the
jury directly after the noon recess.

Heney read into the record in the
present case.
MCGEE testified that he had shown
report of Special Agent Holzinger
to Richards. Holzinger had sent to
investigate alleged Irregularities in the
Blue Mountain reserve and reported
that it's creation was honeycombed
with frauds.
Richards testified that he had made
known the contents of Holzinger's re-
port to Secretary Hitchcock.
Explaining his object, Prosecutor
Heney declared that he wished to
show that Hermann was ordered to
bring the HolZinger report to the Sec
rotary instead of taking it to Hitch
cock of his own volition, as the de-
! PENDANT had testified.
This line of evidence was follow
ed up by that of w Scott Smith
Hitchcock's private secretary Smith

told Hermann over the telephone to
come over and bring that Holm

rected.
