portation Company, a subsidary con
cern of the St. Francis "Hotel of this
city. James J. Hall, 35 years old, was

the bodies face downward on the floor
of the living-room. Mrs. Hall had been
ahot through the heart and Hall
through the head.

led him to commit the crimes In a fit
of Insane anger.
That he had planned the crime was
shown by a note to his father, found
on his body. In which he asked that his
body, be cremated.

HILLES IS ENCOURAGED
Chairman Says Situation as to Elect
ors, of Whom 100 Were Involved
In Beginning, Is Rapidly
Being Simplified. '
NEW YORK, Sept 18. "Disloyalty to
the Republican party" was the charge
upon which four members of the Re
publican National committee were ex
pelled from the party by the committee
today. The committee accepted the res
lgnatlon of members from Minnesota,
Oklahoma and Ohio. It declared vacant
the seats from New York, West Vir
ginia, North Carolina and California.
The committee refused to recognize
a telegram from Russ Avery, of Cali
fornia, announcing his resignation.
and voted to expel him for "disloyalty
to the Republican party." Chairman
Hilles was empowered to appoint a
sub-committee of three to recommend
a successor to Avery.-
This action was taken, it was ex-
plalned, because a majority of the state
committee of California are supporters
of Colonel Roosevelt, and the choice of
a Republican National committeeman
could not be left to them.
' State Committees to Advise.
In the cases of William Edwards, of
West Virginia, whose . seat was de
clared vacant because of his disloyalty
to tne party, and I. A. Casewell. of
Minnesota, who resigned, the commit
tee voted to ask the state committees
of West Virginia and Minnesota, .re
spectively, to recommend their suc
cessors. Franklin Murphy, former committee
man from New Jersey, was elected to
fill the vacancy from that state creat
ed by the declaration that Borden
Whiting no longer was a member. E.
C. Duncan was elected to succeed
Richmond Pearson, of North Carolina.
Sherman Granger was elected to suc
ceed Walter F. Brown, the retiring
member from Ohio, and J. A. Harris
was elected successor to C. C. Priestley
of Oklahoma. .
The following sub-committee was
appointed by Chairman Hilles to con
sider the situation In California: Sam

Demise of Rider Curtis.
WALLA WALLA,. Wash., Sept. 18.
(Special.) Two accidents occurred in
the . thrilling relay race today, one of
them almost a duplicate of the mishap
yesterday, in which A. C. Curtis, a re
lay horseowner and rider from Spring
field, Colo., lost his life.
In today's accidents, however, the in
juries were but slight
.One occurred after "Ted" McLeod, of
Texas, who claims the title of cham
pion roper apd. buckaroo of the world,
had mounted his second horse at the
half-mile post and . he felt his saddle
slipping. Warned by the fatality of
yesterday, which started the same way,
McLeod lunged forward, grasping his
horse by the neck, holding so tightly
that the animal rolled and fell on him.
His face was. badly bruised..
The second accident ' occurred when
E. E. Armstrong, saddling a horse,
threw the saddle too far over and an
assistant was struck and knocked be
neath his horse's hoofs. He was not
badly hurt. The accident to McLeod
occurred at the same place and In the
same heat as throne yesterday. Curtis
yesterday was thrown when his sad
dle slipped and his neck was broken
either by the fall or by the kick of the
horse. Neither crowd nor "riders knew
anything of the fatality until after the
race was finished, the crowd yelling
madly while the body of the rider was
borne from the field.

vailing price at the mills on the Coast.
So far as known the wholesalers have
been unable to fill all the orders' taken
at the cut prices.
There Is a little lull in the shingle
market but many manufacturers at
tribute this to the wholesalers, clalm-
ng that the latter are holding back
orders purposely.
The prevailing mill prices today were
82.15 for stars and 82.50 for clears, the
same prices which have prevailed for
some time.

Wilson struck the trail of Colonel
Roosevelt for the first time in the

through a programme of speeches and
receptions in the twin cities.

response and the enthusiasm of the
crowds that either heard him speak or
shouted their cheers as he motored
through the streets of the two cities.

Governor Talks to Students.'
At the University of Minnesota,
President Vincent introduced the Gov
ernor as a "man who had removed the
stigma of. the doctrinaire from aca
demic life, a scholar of politics, a
scholarly politician and a statesman."
It was the opening day of the uni
versity and as the former president of
Princeton gazed into a mass .of up
turned student faces he said it was in
deed a familiar scene.
Characteristically enough the Gov
ernor made no political speech, ' but
emphasized the point which he was
wont to make in his speeches as univer
sity president that the students of
this country did not take themselves
seriously, preferring to be boys rather
than attacking the serious problems of
life. He argued that most undergradu
ates waited for their diplomas before
starting- In life, when they should have

day arrived.
. Tribute Paid to Taft.
It was at the parade grounds, a broad
meadow In the residence district of
Minneapolis, that the Governor made
his longest speech of the day. He was
emphatic. In his declaration that the
National campaign was not one of per
sonalities, but issues. He paid warm
tribute to the character of President

Louis Schell, ex-Superintendent for
Elbert Hubbard, Walks Out as
Labor Mandate Is Issued.
Industrial disturbances have brought
forth many strange tacts, but an incl
dent that is probably without parallel
has developed In connection with the
strike of the Portland Job printers an
pressmen. Strikers and employers are
witnessing, for the first time, it Is said,
the spectacle of father arrayed against
son.

Advertising Company, Is the employer
and son. Louis Schell, ex-superlntend
ent of Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft
shops, ranch owner of Hood River and
pressman, is the striker and father.
Each Is fighting for a principle. Th
son believes in the rule of the open
shop, while the father Is loyal to the
union cause.
When the union mandate 'was issued
for -a walkout. Mr. Schell, Sr., was
given the choice of arraying hlmsel
against his son or renouncing the union
card he had carried for more than
quarter of a century. He walked out
of his son's shop with his fellow work
men.
Utmost friendly relations exist be
tween them. Each, however, is posi
tive he is fighting for the right.
According to Mr. Schell, Jr., the
strike situation remains unchanged.
He says the employers insist on the
present wage scale and the open shop.
This the union men are against. He
declared there is little hope of arbitra
tion ending the difficulties.

for an ' Increase in pay of 50 cents a
day. Every mine in the camp, with one
exception, is idle.
The strikers are mostly foreigners

disarmed. Night Superintendent John
Kennedy, of the Utah Copper Company,

ed to leave' the mine house.
Sheriff Sharp is in the district
directing his deputies, but his force Is
too small to control the situation
should the- miners attempt to destroy
the mine properties. Governor Spry
will meet with the Sheriff and mine
officials tomorrow to ascertain whether
the situation calls for state troops.
Members of the state militia are ex
pecting a call and are making ready
their camp equipment tonight.
Strike pickets, most of them with
arms of some description, stationed
themselves at -the approaches to the
various properties and many of them
fired shots in the air. A few miners
going to their work as usual were or
dered back. Company officials were
shut out of their own properties.

blockade. Their efforts led to the first
bloodshed of the strike, when Thea
Schweitxer, a deputy, ordered a picket
to stop firing his gun. The picket
continued his fusillade and the deputy
fired at him, wounding him in the wrist
Other strikers rushed to the picket's

Governor; R. C. Gemmell, assistant
manager of the Utah Copper Com

in the southern part of the state ful
filling some speaking engagements. At
this meeting the situation was dis
cussed and a statement was tele
graphed to Governor Spry. Sheriff
Sharp made no request for state troops,
but indicated to the Governor that the
forces at his command would not be
sufficient to control the thousands of
idle men in this camp.
Governor Spry telegraphed in reply
that he would be In Salt Lake City by
midnight and make a personal Investi
gation. Sheriff Sends Relnforcementa.
Sheriff Sharp in the meantime dis
patched reinforcements to his little
army of deputies. With a force num
bering 35 men, the officers in camp
started a party on the rounds" of the
mines to draw the fires which had been
left burning under many of the boil
ers.
This party had scarcely started up
the mountain on which most of ' the
mines are situated when bullets began
to patter In front of them and It was
discovered that the strikers had been
busy building breastworks in com
manding positions at each side of the
narrow gulch In which this town hides
