"BLACK HAND" METHODS
BARED BY CONFESSION.
CHICAGO. July 20. Tony Baffo, a
19-year-old Italian boy, who has been
to this country three years, confessed
today to killing Guiseppe FUlipelll, a
grocer, at the same time laying bare
the Inner workings of the Black Hand
The organization to which Baffo be
longed was called the Society of Jus
tice. The murder was committed last
April. According to Baffo, while
working as a laborer on a railroad,
be met Antonio Nudo, Raffel Nudo
and Pasquella Nudo, Joseph Cara and
a man named Ernesto who wanted
him to join their gang and promised
to give Baffo the sister o the Nudos
to marry.
The gang was formed, Baffo says,
to get money from people supposed
to be well off. He says tthey had
been laying for Filllpelli for three
months, but had no chance to get
him because he always had his wife
with him or baby Jn arms. On the
night he was killed, Baffo declared,
they waited until Filllpelli came out
of the store carrying a baby.
Pasquella and Baffo walked to
ward a vacant lot and when FilU
pelll passed Pasquella struck at Filll
pelli with a club but missed him.
Filllpelli then' turned around and
grabbed Baffo and Baffo says he
pulled a revolver and shot twice. The
others cut hdm.
Baffo says the men had written
Flilllpelll demanding money and were
.fangry because he did not pay them.
The police have arrested Antonio
Nudo, Ernesto Ferres and Gulseppl
Carl, and expect to apprehend the
others.

DECENT WOMEN STAY
AWAY FROM lOU.
In Colorado Only Dregs of Woiuan
kiud Vote Says Former Gov
ernor Rev. H. A. Uutcliel
NEW YORK, July 20. "Only the
dregs of womankind vote in Colo
rado; the mothers have to be prac
tically Clubbed to the polls. Power
was not Intended for women; influ
ence is more subtle and is woman's
greatest force. When woman seeks
power it is a great calamity, not on
ly for her, but for the men as well.
My wife and daughter shun politics,
as do the majority of the women In
Colorado. I believe that women want
the vote without the responsibility."
This is the opinion expressed by
the Rev. Dr. Henry A. Butchel, for
mer governor of Colorado, one of ihe
four states In which women have the
right to vote. Dr. Buchtel came here
to preach In Calvary Methodist Epis
copal Church. Continuing, the for
mer governor said:
"Chivalry was the motive that
prompted the granting of the equal
franchise in Colorado, and women
'legislators have been suffered to put
forth their claims out of deference to
their sex. There have been few who
did not demand the most absurd and
unreasonable laws. The only trouble
about the women legislators is that
they will not listen to argument
no woman will. Logic does not ap
peal to them.
"It is a hateful subject to me."
he continued, "for, once I make any
statement regarding It, all the long
haired men and short-haired women
will be up in arms to argue about It.
"I Willi admit there is an Inferior
type of women who rush to the polls
as a means of grafting, Just as a cer
tain class of inferior men use politics
tor their own ends, but It is this class
of women that kee)8 the conserva
tive home women away from the
polls; the latter shrinks from com
ing In contact with this other type
of women.
"There are women from the be
ginning of the world whose wit and
Intuition have been valuable in every
line of business, art or jKjlitics. These
are the women of influence not the
women of power who have only suc
ceeded In bringing trouble or unhap
plness in their train."
The street committee of the city
council, comprised of Sam Joseph
son, Joseph Micelli and Henry Ryan,
on Tuesday looked Into the require
ments for the piping of the remainder
of the big drain extending northwest
erly through the city, from upper
Lame street to the river, at the foot
of Washington street. They reort
that there would be needed for such
a project about 2000 feet of pipe,
which, at $2.60 per foot, would cost
15000 to lay. Councilman Joseph
son said that euch property owners
as were interviewed had no objec-
lion to the laying of the pipe, but as
j to bearing the expense weH, that
was quite a different matter.
li WALL
Calvesion Again Flooded by
Waters of Culf
7 FEET DEEP IN S1REETS
Testimony in Sutton Inquiry Is That
lie Drank to Excess and Was
"Wild West" Bully
Special to the Evening Review.
HOUSTON, Tex.. July 21. Two
spans of the railroad bridge con
necting the city of Galveston with
the mainland were swept away today
by wind and water. A mammoth wall
of water surged 'through the streets
of the city, which Is now flooded to
a depth of seven feet. Communica
tion with the outside world is en
tirely cut oft, and there Is fear of a
repetition of the disaster of Septem
ber 8, 1900. One report is that a
cyclone struck the city, wrecking the
great sea wall and that a terrific gale
is sweeping into the city from the
gulf.
A Inter report Is that the wind has
changed its course, driving the water
back from the city. There has been
no loss of life, but the damage to
property is tremendous, it will be
a week before railroad communica
tion is restored. The sea wall bor
dering the city was built especially
for the prevention of such disasters
as that of nine years ago,, when the
city was visited by a flood from the
gulf that cost hundreds of lives and
millions of dollars' worth of prop
erty. Hevmi, Too, Haya Suicide.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 21. First
Lieutenant W. P. Uevan, of the bat
tleship New Jersey, resumed the wit
nifcs stand todny and reiterated his
previous declaration that Lieutenant
Sutton, of Portland, Or., suicided at
the ncadumy on the night of October
12. 1907, after a (1st fight with class
mates. Bevan, us weK as other wit
nesses, testified that Sutton waB the
only one of tho crowd carrying a
weapon. The witness was one of the
three men who were holding Sutton
to the ground when the latter shot
hiiiLself. Bevan said hat In a talk
wHh Sutton one daySutton threatened
to kill himself because life in the
marine corps was unattractive to
him. He was positive that Sutton
took his own- Hfe.
Sutton a Bully.
Bevan 's testimony alfco revealed
that a situation bordering on a Wild
West rampage had existed in the
marine camp prior to the shooting,
when Sutton had been trying to make
Lieutenant Roelker dance by levelling
two revolvers at his feet, and after
wards rushed from the camp, disre
garding his arrest by the officer of
the guard and shouting that he would
quit the marine camp for good and
all.
Bevan explained that Sutton fired a
bullet into his own brain, after some
one remarked that Sutton had killed
Roelker.
Lieutenant Osterman, as a mem
ber of Sutton's automobile party on
the night of October 12, corroborat
ed Lieutenant Adams' story, except
I to add that he believed Sutton was
j badly Intoxicated that night. Over
man told of an incident about a
month prior to Sutton's death when
Sutton "shot up the camp."
"I was awakened by the bullets
whizzing through our tent' said the
witness, "and, stepping out Into tho
oamp street, saw Sutton standing In
the door of his tent firing a revolver."

FARM KHS KrXiCtl.NG FOR
HELP FOR IIARVEHTINO.
WASHINGTON. July 20. Fifty
thousand able-bodied men are wann
ed in the harvest fields of the West
to take care of the bounteous crops.
Farmers are literally begging for
heflp. according to officials of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
whose duty it Is to find employment
for throngs of aliens who come kmo
this country. - The officials are almost
nowfrlfB heranse of the nennileas
condition of many of the Immigrants.
Assistant Secretary Mcliarg, of the
department of Commerce and Labor,
suggests that the railroads transport
aliens to the west at actual cost, as
their profit would come In hauling
.back the tremendous product of the
alk'us' labor.
ItlNGER HERMANN TO HE
TRIED THE COMING FALL
Heney Ordered to Prosecute, but If
Ho Fulls to Comply, McCourt
Will Act hi Hit HU;ju1.
WASHINGTON, July 20. In the
remarks of Representative Tawney.
printed In the Congressional Record
this morning, appears this quotation
from a letter of Attorney General
Wlckersbam, of recent date:
"I have given general Instructions
In all cases In which Mr. Heney Is
retained to make careful examination
of the cases and, If they cannot be
brought to trial within reasonable
time with any prospect of success,
that the Indictments be dismissed,
and have caused some Indictments
to be dismissed under these Instruc
tions." Inquiry at the Department of Jus
tice tod-ay brought forth the state
ment that "Binger Hermann wlli be
brought to trial at Portland early
this coming fall. Mr. Heney will
personally conduct the prosecution."
No Information was obtainable as
o the case of J. N. Williamson or
other land fraud defendants yet un
tried. No specific date has been
fixed for beginning the Hermann
trial, it Is said.
If not Honey, Then McCourt.
PORTLAND, Or., July 20. When
the above dispatch was read to him
last nfght, United States District At
torney McCourt eald It was the de
sire of the department that Mr.
Heney should conduct that case. This
wa Mr. McCourt's wish also, for
the reason that Mr. Heney Is familiar
with the testimony, having person
ally examined many of the witnesses,
and knows also the theory under
which he brought the action. Mr.
McCourt, however, indicated that In
the event Mr. Heney's engagements
prevented his being here, the United
States Attorney's office would conduct
the Hermann case.
Others Draw Good Salaries,
WASHINGTON. July 20. Accord
ing to figures furnished Chairman
Tawney of the appropriations com
mittee by Attorney Genernl Wlekcr
Btvam, Francis J. Heney Is not the
only special attorney of the Depart
ment of Justice who is drawing a
very neat salary from the treasury.
A tabulated statement of payments
made to special employes of the De
partment of Justice between July 1,
1908, and March 30, 1909. shows
that during that period Tracey 0.
Becker has received .r7'l0 and H.
D. Townsend $41187.
In addition to his monthly salary,
which averages about $:i7Ei, Mr.
Becker was paid a lump sum of
$2000 August 31 last; $1000 Decem
ber 2G and another $1000 March 23.
Mr. Townsend's payments are all reg
ular, being at the approximate rate
of $575 per month.
Incidental to a reception tendered
to Mrs. Henrietta Brown, of AJbany,
president of the Oregon W. C. T. U.,

this city, Tuesday afternoon. The
local branch of the society was well
represented at the reception and
there were also present a number of
other ladies, besides several gentle
men interested in the movement.
Speeches were made by Mrs. Brown,
Rev. W. H. Eaton, Representative J.
A. Buchanan and Chas. T. Hadtey.
Owing to the prevailing warm weath
er, the affair was held on the lawn.
The national colors were used for
decorations, and during the afternoon

POLICE'S LATEST THEORY
OF HHACKETT SHOOTING
PORTLAND. Or.. July 21. An
other woman, not Mrs. R. M. Brown;
another man. neither Main nor Qulm
by, nor Carlton, by latest deductions,
Involved In the mysterious shooting
of Rae F. Bracket-ton Yamhill street.
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth,
last Wednesday night, and today the
Chicago police will be a&ked to ques
tion there an insanely Jealous hus
band who is supposed to have left
Portland Thursday morning. That
he mistook Mrs. Brown, In the com
pany of Brackett, for his wife, tired
at the electrical engineer on his way
home and lied the next morning, be
lieving he had wreaked vengeance up-1
on a man Intimate with hits spouse,
Is now considered the sanest solu
tion of the shooting mystery. At all
everite the latest suspect has not been
seen since the night of the affair, and,
adding color to the newest deduc
tions, the most recent woman In the
case lived within a stone's throw of
the scene of the shooUng.
She has left her lodging house for
other quarters here, thus far not
known by the probers, but that she Is
In Portland la a certainty, anxious
Inquiries by her for her husband
over the telephone being henrd daily
at the last place he was employed.
"He has skipped; I don't know
where," sho Is reported as saying to
an acquaintance yesterday.
Constant delving failed to bring
out one point to disprove tho theory
that Brackett had been shot by mis
take or undermine the deduction that
the Jealous Portland husband had
fired tho shot and fled, believing he
was an unwritten law fugitive. His
name and he identity of tho new
woman In the case are withheld pend

day. . PROGRAM STAR Til KATRlfl. .

PRESIDENT TAFT TO DECIDE
Roosevelt Has Thrilling Experience
With Hippopotami Marder
Ends a Debauch
Special to the Evening Roview.
WASHINGTON. July 21. The
tariff conferees of tho House and
Senate will dine with President Taft
tonight, when the president will at
tempt to wlo out the 111 feeling be
tween Payne and Aldrich and reach a
better undorstaudfug. It la agreed
that tho president will obtain free
Iron ore, removal of the countervail
ing duty on oil, some reductions on
hides and the house rate on lum
ber. It s predicted that Taft will
fail In his insistence for free hides
or to socuro authority to enter Into
a reciprocity treaty between ithe
United States and Canada.
At tonight's meeting the president
will report Ho the conference what
progress has been made in an effort
to get votes to carry his recommenda
tion for free raw material. Ho will
also receive reports on tho present
situation In the house and senate re
garding the tariff bill.
Taft today called a meeting or the
cabinet. It is understood that gov
ernment expenditures are under dis-
custiion.
CIhkIi nn Lumber Tariff.
Some sny that the difference be
tween Aldrich and Payno have taken
such form that progress Is Impossible
unless the president has Influence to
compel action. It Is not denied that
there was a clash yesterday between
Represent!) lives Payne and Fonlnoy
of Michigan. From n credible sourco
It wns learned Hint a crisis won reach
ed when an effort was made late yes
terday to vote on' the lumber sclied
ulo. Payne protested and argued that
such a movo would be unfair to the
President, ns this wns one of the sub
jects practically submitted to him Tor
adjustment, provided he could get
votes enough In the two houses to
adopt compromise rates.
The paper and pulp light bids fair
to be especially stubborn and prob
ably will be somewhat prolonged.
Much progress has been made on
the cotton schedule, but hosiery and
a number of other leading Items of
cotton manufacture are causing the
tariff arbitrators much concern. The
drawback provision K practlcailly
Aldrich and Pi
on Lumber
Reductions
the only Important administrative
feature that remains unsettled.
Although the rates of duty have
been fixed on practically all of the
steel products, there has been a pro
toat against the Increased rate on
structural steel punched for use. It
was thought that a compromise on
lead and Its products was la view, but
this schedule also has proved diffi
cult of adjustment. The d utiles ou
zinc In blocks and pigs, which wer
Increased by the senate over the
hotiBe rates, Is another matter which
Is delaying the settlement of the
metals schedule.
An agreement as to whether there
should be a reciprocity provision for
the free entry of agricultural ma
chinery does not seeui to be near at
hand and the same may be said with
regard to the differences existing be
tween the house and senate regarding
the rates on window glass, the In
crease on gloves made by the house
bill and rate on barley and barley
malt. On account of the attitude of
the senators from California, nothing
has been done with the Increased
duty on lemona.
An adjustment of the duty on min
eral water and the rate on bottles
which affects the former also re
mains to be agreed to.
Roosevelt's Kftcape.
NAIVASHA, Africa. July 21. Sur
rounded by 12 hippopotami while Jti
a rowboat on Lake Nalvasha, pursu

thrilling escape from death yesterday
while accompanied by two natives.
The hippos appeared upon the boat
a long distance from shore, and one
of them, a bull, dived under the boat,
ralsHng It, Roosevelt shot and killed
the beast before It could repeat the
act, and the other hippos became
frightened by the flash of the powder
and swam away.
