DEATH NOT BY VIOLENCE
Watchdog of the Imperial Household
I ad Retired for a Brief Rest''
After Seeing His Master'
Off on a Cruise.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 16. General
TrepofT, feeling relieved of the trying duty
of protecting his imperial master, who
left last Thursday on a cruise to BJorko,
at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon retired
to his cabinet and gave orders that he
should not be disturbed until dinner was
served. When at 7:30 o'clock dinner was
announced, General Trepoff did not an
swer the call and finally a member of his
staff at S o'clock knocked at the door of
his cabinet. Receiving no reply, he en
tered and found the General lying
stretched out at the foot of his couch
with a newspaper in his hand, dead.
It was plain that he had died soon after
he retired to the cabinet. He had been
lying three hours where he fell. Although
he died a natural death, the threat of
the revolutionists last Winter that he
would not die by being shot or blown up
with a bomb, but would be killed In his
own bed, Is clearly brought to mind.
General Orloff, who was General Trep
off's temporary successor while Trepoff
was taking a short rest recently, will be
rucceeded by General De Dloulin, ex
Prefect of Police of St. Petersburg, as
temporary commandant of the palace,
the Emperor having telegraphed this or
der from BJorko. The appointment, how
ever. Is in nowise permanent.
The post commandant of the imperial
palace Is a special appointment made by
the- Emperor, and is always held by a
strong and loyal man. Among the can
didates for the position Is General Orloff,
who was named to replace General
Fkallon as Governor-General of Warsaw,
but was not anxious to leave a court
post for one so fraught with danger. Gen
eral Mossoloff, chief of the Imperial
chancellory, also is a powerful candidate,
but General de Dioulln, who with General
Trepoff has been in charge of the main
tenance of order In St. Petersburg during
the big strikes, seems most likely to be
given the post.t
Emperor Nicholas and Empress Alex
andra have sent telegrams of condolence
to Mme. Trepoff. It is not yet known
whether the Emperor will attend the fun
eral, or whether the fetes of the Chev
alier Guard will be postponed. The fun
eral is not expected to take place until
Emperor Nicholas returns to Peterhof.
PEASANTS ATTACK STEWARD
Buildings and Haystacks Burned In
Arnshanoff Estates.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 17. (Special.)
Reports were received here yesterday of
on outbreak on the great Arnshanoff es
tates. In the government of Samara, In

erously attacked the steward of the es

signal 700 of the peasants appeared with
guns and bombs. They attacked and
wounded the officials, and then set fire
to the buildings, haystacks and other
property, looting such buildings as con
tained valuables.
The keepers armed and attacked the
mob, firing several volleys and killing a
number. Troops were hurried to the
scene and restored order, after a fight
In which many were killed.

Sappers Is Sentenced.
KIEFF, Sept. 16. A court-martial to
day sentenced. Lieutenant Shdanovski, of
the fifth battalion sappers, ringleader of

shooting.
Wltte Not In Fear of Assassins.
HOLBERG, Sept. 16. Count Wltte, ex
Prime Minister of Russia, who Is being
treated here for polypi of the nose, is
much annoyed at the utterly untrue re
port published In the United States that
an attempt was made on his life by an
anarchist named Rosenberg at Sedan
Saturday. Count Wltte Is taking no pre
cautions to guard against an attack, as
he is not In fear of anyone. He Is out
of Russian public life now, his friends
say, and Is not regarded as the object
of a terrorist plot. Count Wltte will re

ing to an Imperial decree issued today

DERAILED ATJ3AD SWITCH
Passengers on San Pedro Road Are
Given Severe Shake-TJp.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.-J5erailed by a
defective switch from the throw-rod of
which a nut had fallen or been malicious
ly removed, overland train No. 1, on the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Rail
road, southbound from Salt Lake, was
badly damaged at Helen Station, between
Daggett and Cotton, today, but none xf
the 200 passengers or crew was Injured.
Several persons were slightly brutBed by
being thrown from their Pullman berths.
An examination made by General Man.
ager Wells, who was on board No. 1 at
the time of the accident, showed that the
loss or removal of the nut had left the
switch unlocked. The two heavy locome.
tives pulling the desert train kept the
main track, as did the Pullmans, but the
last coach took to the siding. Engineer
Arthur Smith applied the air, stopping
the train within eight engine-lengths.
The locomotives left the rails, one of
them coming to a stop at right angles
to the track. The Standard and the day
coaches also were derailed, but not over
turned. Several "rescues" were made by
passengers, but these were of a humorous
rather than a thrilling nature.
A special sent out from Los Angeles
brought the delayed travelers Into this
city tonight.
DEFAULTER IS LOCATED
Head of Large Georgia Cotton Firm
Agrees to Face Charges.
ATLANTA, Qa., Sept. 16. Thomas W.
Alexander, head of the largest cotton
firm in Augusta, who several months
ago disappeared after having defaulted a
sum approximately J200.000, has been lo
cated In Pittsburg, Pa., and has agreed
to come to Augusta without requisition
papers. Among the losers were three of
the principal banks, to which Alexander
owed about J160,000.
Alexander was president of the Com
mercial Club, the business men's institu
tion; of several social organizations, and
a church officer and a member of the
Board of Police Commissioners at the
time he left Augusta. He was one of six
members of the board who elected the
lieutenant who has gone to Pittsburg to
bring him back for trial. The cotton firm
of which he was the head was one of
the largest in Georgia.
Investigation after he left developed
the fact that' warehouse certificates had
been given by him for 2000 bales of cot
ton when there were only about a dozen
bales In stock. The bank had taken
these certificates on Alexander's word
and without making a personal Investigation.

loaded Panhandle freight train and a Cin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton excursion

tance of 200 yards, entirely across the

The Event
of the Week
We beg to announce to the ladies of Portland, and all others interested in
the changes of fashion and the first general gathering of Autumn styles,
that the Store will hold its annual
Informal Opening Display of FALL MERCHANDISE
Particularly Gowns, Wraps and Millinery, on Tuesday
and Wednesday of This Week, September 18th and 19th
Two days of information. 'At this time, as usual, Olds, Wortman & King will show the authoritative modes
for Autumn and all of the changes in dress and styles that are correctly new for the Fall and Winter of
1906-7. Apparel found at Olds, Wortman & King's is neither the unsanctioned extreme in newness which soon
passes out, nor the commonplace but always the MODE. In the charmingly and tastefully arranged salons
on the second floor we shall show, amid most beautiful and impressive settings, what will prove to be the
mo6t comprehensive gathering of fashionable apparel for women of critical taste in dress ever shown in Port
land, or the Northwest, unquestionably demonstrating again the indisputable leadershirt of this great Style
House as arbiter of fashions aud DICTATOR OF MODES AMONG WESTERN STORES.
In the Annex-Second Floor--The Millinery Opening
will add brilliancy to the event. We offer no apologies for omitting the formal openings this Fall. The rea
sons are obvious and logical. An army does not 6ton in the midst of battle for a dress parade, neither can
this store pause in the midst of unprecedented September business to give way to mere "show days." If
you were promised a view' of a great and powerful engine, wouldn't you prefer to see the gleaming, glisten
ing giant in motion 1 Of course you would. Just so you'll enjov the Fall's informal openings all the better
because you'll find us all "on the move" full of life and business. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AT
OLDS, WORTMAN & KING'S WILL BE DAYS FOR SEEING FOR SHOPPING AND FOR .ECONO
MIES WOBTH WHILE. Plan to come both days. No music, but pretty decorative effects will be used as set
tings for Fashion's gems in the surpassing style exhibit. , .
