ell Alderman Frank Ward will intro.
dwce an ordinance providing for the
licensing of all hotels and rooming

nance passed in Portland January 9,

a war measure as the government is
urging its passage in order that all
hotels and rooming houses may be
more easily controlled should they vio-
late the law.
One of the provisions Of the new
ordinance will provide that il is un-
lawful to write or cause TO be writ
ten any other than one 5 own name on

There are several other provisions
that have been urged by the govern
mont the main object being to pro-
vide for the cancelhng of the license
of any hotel or rooming house violat'
ing the law
Mayor Keyes has referred the draw
ing Of the ordinance to Frank Ward,
chairman of the health and police
committee.

MURDERER HORNER
PASSED THROUGH salem
YESTERDAY MORNING
Man Travelling With Woman
In Ford Car, Finally
Answers Description

William Horner, the man wanted at
Kelso, Washington, for the murder of
his wife and two children, passed
through Salem yesterday morning. He
was accompanied by woman and
with them was black and white spot
ted female dog They were in an old
Ford ear and stopped at the Rhodes
store on North Commercial street,
recently purchased by him from Damon
& Son. When the man entered the
store his first words were: Have
they heard anything more about the
murdered family at Kelsoa"
Mr.. Rhodes replied that nothing
further had been heard concerning it
so far as he knew At. the same time
he remarked it was a terrible crime.
The man said Eyes 1t was terrible
crime for him to kill his wife and a
boy and a girl" Rhodes said he un-
derstood it was two girls, when the
man at once spoke up and said 81
know it was boy and girl" He
added that he had been working in a
shipyard in Seattle but had nervous
preak down ana concluded to 90 to
California and rest up. He said "the
Kelso murder has got on my mind and
is a. heavy weight that 1 cannot get
rid off, He said he was going to Al
bany from here and then to Crescent
City and on to California. He also
said that he was going to Marshfield.
Tho rroD,on cold che bod fo1lxe ia roE
fornia. Soon after they left the store
Mr.. Rhodes called up Constable Varney
and told him the story substantially
as above.
Varney at once wired the Sheriff at
Kelso and asked authority to arrest
the couple but the sheriff said he was
looking into something else and would
call him later. In the meanwhile the
couple got out of the county.
Mr. Rhodes says the description in
the Oregonian of the man, Horner tai"
lies exactly with the man in his store
even to the gold filled teeth. The only
variance was that instead of being
smooth shaved this man had a beard
of a week or two's growth.
The woman is rescribed by Mr..
Rhodes as about five feet two inches
tall, of medium heavy build, 50 to 40
years old, light complexion, light hair
and blue eyes. On the back of the car
which also tallies with the description
of that Of the murderer, was a home
made pennant on which was written in
pencil "Seattle, Washington" !"
Mr.. Rhodes is positive the man is
Horner, or at least the man described
in the Oregonian as the man wanted
for the murder.
In a telephone conversation abcdt
2:30 this afternoon Sheriff Studebak
er of Kelso gave Constable Varney the
license number of the car as 71,4S0,
Washington license, and the number of
the engine in the car is 508,7l5. The
sheriff stated he had wired points
through the valley and had strong
hopes of picking up his man, he being
certain the man passing here is the
man wanted.
