MAN IN PORTLAND
Mysterious Murder in West
ern City Is Battling Po-
lice Authorities.
(National News Association

(NdIlOnal news ASSOC1dllOn)
PORTLAND, Me-, Aug 30.-Russian
nihilists are believed to have murder
ed Goodman Gikner, the Havre Hill,
Mass, man who was found dead in
the freight yards here Tuesday, with
his body pierced with thirty stab
wounds. The police declared today
that they had secured a clue which
led to the theory that Gikner was sus-
spected of being in the employ of the
Russian secret service.
Gikner came to America from Rus
sia five years ago after his brother
had been slain by nihilists in St. Pet
ersburg. Gikner often complained to
his intimate friends, the police say,
that he was being followed.
The murdered man formerly was a
member of a revolutionary society in
Russia. In some manner he aroused
the suspicious of his fellows. His
brother who. was also a member, was
found stabbed to death in his bed one
morning with note of warning
scrawled in blood pinned to the bed
clothing.
Although Gigner often spoke to his
intimate friends of his fears of as
sassination he would never seek po.
lice protection. He declared that this
would precipitate his death.
A peculiar feature of the tragedy
was the similarity of the death of
Gikner to that of his brother. In his
pocket a note written either in red
ink or blood was found, reoding:
Others beware! Thus we do to
those who betray u.s."
The police have little hope of run
ming the slayers to earth

MAYOR WANTS ARCH
At GLEN ENTRANCE
Proceeds of 1912 Chautau-
qua to Be Used.-1913
Chautauqua in Park.

The Richmond Chautauqua will be
held in Glen Miller park in 1913. The
board of works granted permission to
this effect today.
In the same motion permitting the
Chautauqua association to use the
Glen for the 1918 meeting Mayor Zim
norman included a clause, providing
for the construction of an arch in Glen
Miller. The arch is to be placed at the
wenty-second and Main street en-
trance. The structure may be me-
mortal arch, dedicated to the memory
Of the soldiers and sailors of the city.
The permission to hold the Chautau-
qua in the Glen in 1913 was not con-
ce ded without warm debate. Both the
resident of the board of works and
the mayor were in favor of forcing the
chautauqua from the Glen in 1913,
each stating he believed the people
were not in favor of the Glen being
mayor offered to pay the expenses Of
an election to ascertain the public SEN
timent. if he could get bet for $1,000
on the pTOpOSlIlOn. ne Sd1u 20 per cent
OF the people did not want the chau-
tauqua in the Glen.
In the discussion which ensued, it
was shown that the new arch had been
built by the city's share of the profits
Of the chautauqua.
"All right, let's have another arch,
said the mayor. II move you that the
roadway east of the Twenty-second
street entrance to the Glen be moved
to the corner of Twenty second and
Main streets, that we build another
big arch there next year, and that the
ohautauqua be held in the park next
year." said the mayor.
| Consent" said the other members
of the board.
| The special chautauqua fund, con-
sisting of money paid the city by the
Chautauqua association, and which
cannot be used for any purpose other
than for permanent improvements to
the park, now amounts to about 5000
The city engineer was ordered to
draw up plans and specifications for
an arch.
