NO CLUE YET FOUND
TO JENNINGS MURDER
Blood Stained Shirt Found
May Be Man Who Hired
Ehey Also Killed

Portland, Or, May 19.-The murder
of Mrs. Helen c, Jennings and the
supposed murder of Fred Rstman, lit
ney driver, today resolved themselves
into the most battling mystery in local
police annals.
! A motive for the brutal crime is un-
discovered. What impelled the fiend
wdo swung a sledge hammer and
crushed the skull of Mrs. Jennings
while she sleptl The police ask. What
| did he do with Ristman s body? Why
did he leave Ristman g blood spattered
automobile standing outside the Jen-
nings home after so painstakingly dis
posing OF the iitneur's s remains?
Bennett Thompson, held in Jail as a
suspect, has been practically exhonor-
ated. He made no attempt to run
away after he learned that ne was
wanted. He went to see his mother,
squared it with her. and was wait.
ing for ear to take him down town
when detectives arrested him. Thomp.
son says he can prove complete alibi.
The bloodstained shirtsleeve found
on the country road was not Ristma1i's
his wife declared yesterday. The rest
OF the Shlrt, from which all marks of
identification had been carefully re-
moved, was found last night beside
pool of water where the murderer evi-
IDENTIFY stopped to wash the blood stains
from his hands. The shirt is a size
too small for Bennett Thompson.
A spiritual medium was called to
the relief Of the detectives yesterday.
She told them they would find Rist-
man s body in certain part of the
lTualatin river. The river bed was
dragged there, but without result
1t was pointed out that there is no
certainty even that Ristman S myster
ious passenger was tne murderer. A
fourth person might have murdered
Ristman, his passenger, and Mrs. lem
nings, who was asleep in her own

When you wash your hair be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plaia
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub It in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required II makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, eleanses thor.

From those who pass the examination
three men will be recommended, one OF
whom will be chosen as a principal and
take the regular examination in March.
Since the result of the mental examl-
nation alone might not disclose the bes:
man, through accident or otherwise, 1t Is
probable that a ratio something like the
following will be used: 1870 for scholar
ship, as shown by the written examina-
ton 1870 for physical excellence and 1870
for personality These suggestions are
tentative with the idea of avoiding the
rigidity Of mental examination alone.
In order to save the boys trouble and
expense Mr.. Peters will try to have an
army officer to make preliminary physi-
cal examination of all who may desire so
that any not qualified in this regard
would be spared the trouble of taking a
preliminary examination. The examining
board to be appointed would probably
consist of two principals or eX-princlpals
of high schools or academies and, per-
haps, one man from the faculty of one OF
the colleges or board of similar standing.
The competitive examination will prob
ably be held in October but the time
place and personnel of the board ana
other regulations to be designated by Mr..
Peters.
Mr.. Peters will be glad to communicate
with any BOYS who are eligible and who
desire an opportunity of taking this ex-
animation.
