Death of Ryan causes coroner s inquest-Aii Evi dence In Case However Not Presented to Jury and Verdict Exonerating Officer Therefore Causes Ad verse Comment Case John Kyan, one of tlie men shot ly Ity Marshal U-wls when he and Ollieer Henry Hlckox went after them to arrest them, died Wednesday tilght in the Cottage hospltul from the effects of hlu Injuries. The bullet from Iewis' gun made fourteen per foratlons through Kyau's Intestines and although everything possible was done to save his life It was not believed from the first that he would live. Hoblnson, who was shot through the shoulder, wns able to get out In a fetv days and his wound is rapidly healing. The body of Ityan was buried Saturday by the county after a short service con ducted by Kev. Father Plus, pastor of the Catholic church. The shooting of Ilyan and Uobln sou has stirred up considerable feel ing among Hood Klver residents, many of whom claim that It was un necessary and it is stated that al though the coroner's jury exonerated Iewls the case will be presented to the grand Jury for further investiga tion. It is claimed that nil the evi dence in regard to the shooting and the events that led up to It were not brought out at the coroner's Investi gation and that a number of Impor tant witnesses were not present to testify. It Is stated by a number of eye witnesses that Hlckox could have taken Kyan to the city Jail when he first arrested him, doing away with any further trouble. These witnesses say that when Hick ox was scutlllng with Ityan, Hobln son and Adams at the corner of Third and Oak streets that Phillip I). Atwater got off his horse, offered tils -assistance t the oflicer and WOMAN'S CLUB HAS ACTIVE SESSION The regular meeting of the Wom an's Club was held Wednesday, let. I'.'i tli, with 115 guests present, live of them being out of town visitors. Five new names were presented for membership. The city conncll having asked that two members of the Woman's Club be appointed to act with the park commission, the president named Mrs. C. II. Castner and Mrs. K. I. riould. Resolutions expressing sorrow f ir the sudden death of their former president. Mrs. A. A. Jay tie, were read by Mrs. Fording. Following the business meeting, a reception was held for the teachers of the public schools of Hood Klver. Miss Kennedy, representing the Ore gon library commission, gave a very fine lecture on a most Interesting subject, "P.est Hooks for Children."

May Go to Grand Jury. f pulled Robinson away from Hlckox and that Henri de Redding, who wan also present took Adams, leaving the oflicer to handle Ryan. They soy mat menus, arter scutlllng n little with Kyan pulled his gun and commanded Kyan to throw up his hands, that the latter refused to do so and that Hlckox then pocketed his gun and walked off up the street leaving Atwater aud de Redding holding Adams and Robinson, who let the men go when they received no Instructions from Hlckox as to what to do with them. It is also claimed that there were four or five men on the corner who could have been called to assist Hlckox If he had asked them. The story of these wit nesses Is substantially corroborated by Mr. Atwater, although none of them were summoned to appear be fore the coroner s Jury and none of these facts were made known Jn the testimony at the Inquest. Hlckox testified that he arrested Kyan near the corner of Second and Oak streets, and had trouble with him at the start, making it necessary for him to use his club. He stated mat ne nnany got uyan as far as the Hood River Ranking and Trust Company's building, and then had to call for assistance. Adams and Robinson thencameup, Hlckox says, and asked him to turn Ryan over to them. This he refused to do, aud they theu took hold of him, grab bing him by the arms, and struck him; that Adams took Ids club away from him and threw it Into the street. Adams claims he did this to keep Hlckox from clubbing Ryan, (Continued on Pane 10) TAFT TRIP STRAIN ON RAILROAD MEN The responsibility for injury or the life of President Taft while traveling on the Pacific coast Is stated by an otliclnl of the O.-W. R. & N. and Southern Pacific lints to have been a heavy strain. To Insure the presi dent's train against any ponsllile ac cident, what Is known as a pilot train preceded his special over the entire route. Few of the people who saw the en gine and t wo cars tear past a station a few minutes prior to the arrival of the president's train realized the sig nificance of It. Probably not one out f ten knew that this small train tested every piece of roadbed nnd track over which the president passed, and that among the passen gers on those two cars were men prepared to repair any part of the track, roadbed or rolling stock that might have meant dlnanter had the executive special panned over bad pieces of track nt a high rate of speed. "Here It Is. See, it's a special!" were the shrill utterances from thou sands of throats at hundreds of sta tions along the line traveled by the president. All of these hurrahs, however, were directed not at the president's special train, but at the pilot train which preceded the execu tive special by ten minutes. Then, after the pilot train had passed, the crowds that had gath ered at each station just to get a glimpse of the president of these I'nl ted States, would have their atten tion attracted by the whistle of a train further up the road, aud cheers for the right train would ring out again. In this way the president was! panned on from one railroad to all ot her in safet v. OKLAHOMA CITY MAN BUYS HOOD RIVER RANCH J. I'..

Several Carloads Sold to Hamburg Dealers First in History of Union-Bulk of Union Apples Marketed and Number of Orders Cancelled -Distribution Will Be Wider This Year. The sale of a number of cars of apples direct to dealers in Hamburg, (Jermany, a transaction which took place last week, wns unprecedented In the history of the Hood River Apple firowers' I'nlon. The method previously used by F.uropean fruit men who wanted Hood River apples, has been to secure the shipments on consignment. However, the recent sales were made by cable communi cations direct to Hamburg. The sales were made entirely on the repu tation of the union pack. Tue great bulk of the Hood River union's product will lie marketed this season west of the Rocky Moun tains, liecause the large crop of local product in the east and middle west prevents the union from securing sat isfactory prices in the eastern mar kets. The season's crop will lie very much shorter than the estimates made by the' growers early in the season. This is due here, as in other northwestern fruit districts, to the small size of the fruit. WOOL GROWERS WILL MEET ATJAKER CITY All members and others engaged in the wool and sheep industry are called to attend the Hth annual con vention of the Oregon Wool Grow ers Association to tie nelil at Uaker City, Oregon, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. Hth and loth, lull. The O.-W. R. & N. Co. have grant ed n. one and one-third fare for round trip ticket. Be sure nnd get a receipt for ticket going to the convention; this will entitle you to one-third fare for ticket returning. "Never In the history of this asso ciation," says the call for the con vention, "have we been confronted with more serious problems. The special session of congress attempted to slaughter the tariff on wool. There Is no question but a similar at tempt will be mnde by congress this coming winter to reduce the duty on wool to a minimum or place it on the free list. We must vigorously con duct the hardest fight ever made In order to educate and convince con gress nnd the American people that our Industry Is entitled to the same measure of protection ns Is given the product of any other kind of labor. We must Insist in-fore congress that the wool grower is entitled to a tariff on wool, that lie may realize from his busluess the actual expenses of operation plus a reasonable profit, in order that he may live and not tie forced into bankruptcy. President Taft vetoed all wool tariff legislation until the tariff board reports in He- cember. We must get read v for the ion-coming struggle, which will mean the prosperity or ruin of the sheep business." Some of the ijuestlons before the convention will be: "Wool Tariff," Railroad Rates on slurp and ool."

"The union has been greatly em barrassed In filling some of Its or ders, especially In Jonathans," said C. H. Sproat, manager of the union, "because of this shrinkage in the pack. We have been obliged to can cel a number of orders on this ac count. There will be n shortage In llaldwlus and Black Twigs, and w will not Im? able to fill all our orders for these varieties lieeause of sales having been made early In the season on the growers' estimates." The union has shipped 12 full car loads of pears this season, the ship ment consisting of Rartletts, d' An Jous, Winter Neils and Buerre Fost ers. All of the shipment were made f. o. b.

GIRLS TO POLICE THEMSELVES Self-government after the manner' of the Stanford I'nlverslty girls ha bleu established at Waldo Hall, the girls' dormitory of the Oregon Agri cultural College, by Dr. A. Z. Crayne. dean of women. A "chairman" and two "directors" have been chosen for the corridor on each of the three floors, the directors to be responsible to the chairmen, and they to the dean, for the proper conduct of their corridors. According to the rule of the hall, the girls must have special permis slon to leave the building after 6 p. m., or to leave the carapu during the day for any purpose other than a short trip to the business section of the city for shopping. They must register nt the hall desk in-fore leav Ing the campus for any purpose, and cancel the registration on their re turn, so that. If necessary, the dean may know where they are at any special time. Special permission must be gained for remaining away from the refectory at meal times, and the dishes, furniture or equipment of the hall can not be removed from oue room to another without per mission. One very strict ruling which the new otlirers will keep au eye to is, that no young woman may go ca noeing without having a written permission from her parents or guar dlan tiled first with the dean. The observance of the quiet of the study hours, suppression of running, screaming, or other disturbance in the halls, the registration of Intended guests for .ueal or at night, the im mediate report of Illness to the dean or her assistant, all these matters to be watched by the corridor chairmen f.rthe dean.
