HER LAST MESSAGE
Note Written BY Miss Alice
Myers to Her Mother, Mrs.
Jennie Myers.

In the Journals account Of the
suicide of Miss Alice Myers, which
occurred a little after II o'clock on
the night Of Saturday, Dec. 9, it was
stated that her last act before TAX
ing the fatal potion, was to write a
note to her mother, and give it to
Henry Curran with the request that
he either hand or send it to the per
son to whom it was addressed. It
was also stated that at that time the
family had decided not to give out
the contents of the note for publica-
ton
Since then, however, some portion
Of Miss Alice's last communication
to her mother has become public, but
the full text Of the note not having
been published, there have been diff
ferent versions as to just what it did
contain, and Mrs. Myers, who this
morning accompanied her son, Earl
the only remaining member of her
family, to Mckinley, Mimi, decided
to give the dying declaration of her
daughter, to her friends and the pub
lie in general.
The communication which, as pre-
viously stated, was written on one
page Of a sheet of note paper, was
addressed on the envelope to Mrs.
Jennie Myers, City" and was as fol-
lows:
Dear Mother:
Please think that I am not doing
this to grieve you because. mother,
love you with my whole heart, but
cannot 90 against my feelings in this.
I can not stand the disgrace that
know is coming to me by Henry not
keeping his promise to me. He alb
solutely refuses to marry me, as he
agreed.

Henry Curran and Miss Myers
were engaged to be married and their
wedding day was set for Saturday,
Dec is. The young couple met Fri
utty evening, Dec. O. anu II appears
that it was at this time that a post
ponement of the wedding was first
suggested to her. They met again
the following evening and it was then
Immediately preceding her death, that
the note to her mother was written
and the expression Il cannot stand
the disgrace that 1 know is coming
to me" is interpreted by Miss Myers
friends simply to mean that she could

OF
DISAPPE EARANCE
is UNSOLVED

The Dalles, Or July 15.-The dis
Of L. D. Ackerman prom
inent merchant from here Monday, is
still the cause today of great un-
easiness on the part Of his family
and friends, but the most extended
inquiry has filed to throw any light
upon his disappearance.
Alderman had considerable money
with him and It is generally believed
he was murdered for his money and
his body probably thrown into the
Columbia river. His family rela-
tions were pleasant and his business
prosperous, therefore there was no
cause why he should leave without
notifying friends or relatives.

BETCHAN
WANTS BONDS
RETURNED

After surrendering to Sheriff Min
10 this morning Fred Betschen, twice
convicted Of the crime Of adultery,
this afternoon, through his attorneys,
the law firm OF Kaiser G Pogue, asked
the court to return to him a cash
bond Of $1,000, put up By him as a
guarantee that he would appear for
trial at the present term Of court.
Deputy District Attorney McNary
suggested to the court that there was
some question as to whether the bond
could be returned after a defendant
had been convicted, and as the court
was anxious TO hear the attorneys at
length on the question, a hearing was
postponed until this evening. The
deputy district attorney also suggest
ed TO the court that the state would
probably have a lien on the money
for costs In prosecuting the two Grim
inal actions against Betschen

A WOMAN IS
ARRESTED IN
CHINATOWN
POLICE MAKE RAID, AND, WHILE
FINDING NO OPIUM, DIS
COVERED THE OPIUM LAMPS
AND ALSO \ SALEM WOMAN.

Chief of Police Hamilton and some
of his men ran up against something
new last night in Chinatown. y white
woman. whose name the police re-
fuse to give out, was found with two
Cinnamon in a house in the High
street district.
An outfit consisting Of Chinese
pipes, cigarettes, water bottle, match
es and other mysterious boxes resem-
bling small brown ink wells were
taken TO the police station. Chief
Hamilton says there is no opium in
the outfit, and he appears to be con-
fident that opium was not being
smoked previous to the time he Wis
tied the Chinese resort.
Considerable mystery is attached to
the case, inasmuch as it was not gen
orally known that Salem had among
it's population a woman who was ac-
customed to spending her time with
Chinamen in their quarters on High
street. Whether or not a charge will
be preferred against either the wO-
man or the celestials it is not yet
known. but no doubt the woman will
be given to understand that she must
cease frequenting Chinese houses
without a proper escort, if she wishes
TO avoid trouble. Several white men
and a woman have been arrested for
frequenting Chinese joints in Port
land. but this is the first known case
where a white woman has been taken
from the Chinese district here, The
old red light" district on the fats
on Ferry street has been closed for
months, and the police have not ar
rested a woman for immoral acts for
some time. Secrecy was maiIEained
about the station this morning when
an effort was made to secure the
woman's name, or to learn whether
or not she was the wife of a we'll
known Salem man.
