Lillis, who is also a millionaire, is jesting well nnd undoubtedly will re cover from the severe knife wounds which he sustained at the hands of the irate husband. "Only a Ilstake." Mrs. Cudahy refused any state ent further thnn to say that the affair was all a mistake. Tho police are making an effort to find the mysterious chauffeur who "witnessed the exciting scene enacted in the Cudahy residence. Patrolman Underwood, who went to the Cudahy house in answer to a telephone message, today said: "Tho chauffeur -was standing in the room when I arrived. He had lis cap, gloves and coat on and it -was clear that he had brought Cud liy on his sudden and unexpected rreturn home. Holding Knife. "When I walked in, they did not notice me at first. Cudahy was in evening dress, except that he had hip -ont off. Lillis was lying .floor, half nude, and tied with a rope.

When I looked for the chauffeur again he Taras gone." Cu&riiy In Seclusion. The scandal of bringing such prominent names into the police court and the sensational features of the case have given this city the greatest shock of years. The police eourt was jammed this morning by crowds expecting to neo Cudahy ap pear. It is believed that powerful influ ences will be brought to beur to sup press! further developments.

PORTLAND, March 7. Reports that James J. Hill and Great North-1 era interests bad purchased the United Railways of Portland, which have been more or less in circulation ever since the road changed hands' last fall, are now positively confirm-1 ed. This confirmation has come to Tt it j i M the east and its authenticity is be- yond question. Whatever reason there was for clouding the Identity, of the purchasers at the time of the sale, it apparently hao been removed And the purchase is frankly ad mitted. Two motives, it is understood, act uated Hill in the acquirement of tho road. One was the need of more North Bank terminal facilities and! tho other availability of the route for : extension to the heavily timbered Tillamook district. The latter, it is believed, was the more important consideration of the two, as the United Railways terminal holdings are meager. TELEPHONE RATE WAR, IS TO BE EXPECTED CLEVELAND, 0 March 7.

M Starrett, survivor of Inst Tuesdav's horror, croans "1 want to diol" when tho wounds of her body and of her heart pain her most. Tho first great shook came to Mrs. Starrett a month ago when her hus band was killed at Spokane. She closed up his affairs there and wasi on her way back to Chonminus, B.: VJ, 1U Ull lUIL'U Villi... un, and father, Mr. and Mrs, William! tr , l.-.t. .. 1.1... 1 t.- Aiay, Tvnen uonwi ukuih rwuuou uoi. Of the little party of mournors who started from Spokane Feb. 25, only she, her 7-yenr-old son, Ray-i mond, and her mothor aro left. Her, two daughters, Frances and Lillian. were among the first of tho dead found by tho rescuo workers, and today tho remains of "her father were mtg irom a onnca concn. Mrs. Starrett did nqt escape In- t A. I A 1 juries. SUO WAS pamtuiiy bnucrcu by the slide, and for several days her condition was so serious that the news of the other deaths was kept from her. Confined to tho hospital and un able to realize conditions in the pil ly by' tho depot, sho and her mother cluug to the hope that tho father would be saved that he escaped somehow. Today that solace dis solved and her anguish was evident. "Let me die," groaned the wan sufferer, but presently the hand of her mother clasped her from an ad joining cot and tho little boy stole up and buried his head in his frnil mother's breast and the slightest trace of n smile illuminated tho tired features on tho pillow.

I SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pa., March 7. Following tho refusal of Presi dent Charles M. Schwab to rocognuo tho union, indications today aro that tho striko of the Bethlehem steel workers will continue indefinitely. When Schwab received a commu nication containing tho demands nf tho strikors nnd signed by tho ex ecutive committee of tho union, ho said that ho would refuse to rocog nizo it, as it did not cmnnnte from tho men themselves. Ho declared thnt no consideration whatsoever would bo given tho men not working at tho plnnt. In n lottor to tho miblic. in which he defined tho company's position, he said in part: ,fVo infer that the communication signed by tho executive committee originated cither with representatives of organized labor or men who loft our employ during the Inst month. "Wo desire to notify those- men who havo left our employ, as well as the general public, that wo can give no consideration to the communica tion, since it docs not emanate from tho men working in our plnnt. It mnst be understood thnt under no circumstances will we denl with men on strike or a body of men repre senting organized labor." The nds. thnt you ought to answer today will bo easy to find. . the foundation was completed several weeks ago, but ns long as the stormy weather continued nothing could be done in tho way of construction. Sixty men aro now working on tho cement foundation. Every nvailablo man is laboring on the bng home, which will bo a larger building thnn the big smelter itself. It will cover tho whole top of the hill bnck of tho smelter. Tho bnilding will be mndo of steel, much of which is now on the wny from tho eastern manufactories. Tho largo fan thnt will force tho smoko through th bng house also on tho way.

With an almost total ah bonoo of rain, but wnrm weather prevailing for tho last week, tho snow is disappearing rapidly. ' Along tho headwaters of tho Mo- Cloud river in Siskiyou county the snow has diminished nino inches in ( tho last week. At Sisson, at the font of Mount Shasta, tho source of tho Sacramento rivor, tho snow hns nl most entirely left tho low flanks of i tho mountain. t Thnt tho molting not Confined to nny ono section of tho mountain re gions is shown by reports received from points, snow stations, in tho Sierra Nevada and also tho Lassen mountains. Over in the Siorra val ley the snow has melted from three to six inches .and about tho same on tho mountain side. It .is interesting to note in that particular district, tho Sierra valley, it was extraordinarily cold during tho .winter, the thennomoter doing business at 30 degrees below zero for some time. Tho heaviest blanket of snow in the state of California now lies on tho great divide running westward from Summit. The "beautiful" measured 55 inches at Summit, and at Doreoy's Station, on tho Sierra county divide, 60 inches is tho total depth of snow at present. All nlong tho western slope it is melting rap idly. At Tablo Rock, on the Sierra Nevada range, it lios more than (10 inches deep nnd is receding.
