POLICE HAVE SLIGHT CLEWS .Two Thugs Are Supposed to Have Engaged in Hold-Up. CORONER GIVEN A VERDICT Jury Decides That the Secretary of Spokane Y. M. O. A. Met Death From Gunshot Wound In flicted by Persona Unknown. SPOK.WE Wash., Oct. IS. (Spe cial.) Search for the man who assas sinated Reno Hutchinson seems useless as Ions as the Spokane police have such slender clews as are now pre sented. They know he was shot with a revolver loaded with cartridges car rying steel-tipped bullets, and they are of opinion that two men attacked the young: athlete, and there their knowl edge rests. All attempts to run down the two men seen on the car which carried Reno Hutchinson home earlier in the evening have yielded nothing. The Coroner's Jury this evening returned a verdict that Hutchinson came to his death "from a gunshot wound inflicted by a person unknown.' The witnesses examined, with two exceptions, were residents of the neighborhood where the tragedy was enacted and the police. The other wit nesses were a car inspector and a re porter. The neighbors added little to what was told in The Oregonian yes terday morning, and that little was unimportant. The 6hot. the fleeing of the assassin, the groans of the wound ed man and his discovery were told Again In detail. Pamphlet In His Right Hand. Coroner Witter told the jury that Mr. Hutchinson was right-handed and that he carried a pamphlet and newspaper and the pamphlet and newspaper were in his right hand when he was found. Witter remarked that if Hutchinson had resisted his assailant It was strange that he had not used his right hand and had not dropped the parcel he was carrying. O. A- Sweeney, car inspector for the Washington Water Power Company, identified the remains. He said Mr. Hutchinson and a man heavily built, perhaps B feet 3 inches tall, of dark complexion and wearing a light hat and light-colored overcoat, got on a street-car In the 1S00 block on Boone avenue at 7:40 o'rlot k. The car was bound for town. Suspect Went Inside Car. Mr. Hutchinson stood on the rear platform and the other man went in side the car. Sweeney left the car at Riverside avenue and Howard street, and did not notice what berime of the two men. He said this car would reach Fourth avenue and Howard street, where Mr. Hutchinson left the car, at about 7:57. The short, chunky man was probably 23 or 23 years of age. Coroner Witter expressed regret that Dr. A. L Marks, oculist, was not at the inquest. Dr. Marks' said to a reporter today: "I probably saw a second man who had been Implicated In the murder of Mr. Hutchinson. About 8 o'clock I turned Into Seventh avenue from Ste vens street. A man who apparently had been hiding In the shadow of the high wall, facing the grounds on the south side of the avenue, suddenly dashed out and raji across the street and down Stevens street. At the time I thought the man's actions queer, but had not heard the pistol shot, and did not know until later a murder had been committed." Acted la a Strange Manner. Although J. C. Barline attached no special significance to the actions of a strange man who made inquiries for Mr. Hutchinson Monday, other peopTe commented on the man s actions. This man telephoned to Mr. Barlme from Masonic Temple and made inquiries re garding Mr. Hutchinson, and is be lieved to be the man who artfd queerly In the Golden date building where Mr. Hutchinson's i.inoe was located. May G. Deromo. secretary of the Master Printers' Association, who no tired the man in the Golden Gate build ing, said: "The man came here about 3:30 0 clock In the afternoon. Our office is room 15. at the end of a corridor, and Mr. Hutchison's office is ronm 14. arid adjoined us. When I noticed tn man 1 asked him what he wanted. He said he was searching for Mr. Hutchinson. I told him Mr. Hutchinson's office was next door and he had come past it. "About .V30 o'clock I noticed a man wandering In the corridor again, and I asked what he was looking for, and saw It was this same man. He said: 'Do you know when Mr. Hutchinson goes to dinner?' I told him Mr. Hutch inson had no regular hours. " This strange man was about 23 years of age and was about 6 feet 11 inches tail. He probably weighed 160 or 170 pounds. He wore a gray suit. I never saw the man be fore and have not seen him since." Inquiries Are Often Made. J. C. Barline said: "I place no signifi cance to this man who inquired for Mr. Hutchinson. Similar inquiries are being made constantly and I answer many calls regarding the T. M. C. A. The Associa tion office location is not generally known and there Is nothing remarkable In people making inquiries." Chief of Police Waller said he had no theory to give out, but that the depart ment is stlU working on the supposition that Mr. Hutchinson was assassinated by an enemy Instead of being held up by a robber. The police are attaching credence to a report that Mrs. Hutchinson asked If a lame man had been implicated in the crime, but the department had no clew to a lame man being Implicated, and some expressed the belief that Mrs. Hutchinson referred to her husband, who was lame. . Working on the Enemy Theory. The police department sent a man to Portland tonight to work on the case in conjunction with the Portland police. It was intimated that the department thought if the assassination theory Is borne out, trace of some enemy may be found In the Oregon city. In view of the short residence of Mr. Hutchinson dn Spo kane, it was contended that he could not have made an enemy in Spokane without the Y. M. C. A. workers knowing of the fact and none of them admitted such a condition at a conference with the Mayor and police department. The entire police department is working on the case. Mayor Daggett will ask the Council to offer a reward for the arrest and convic tion of the murderer or murderers, the amount of the reward to be determined by the Council. Bobbery Theory Generally Held. Independent of the police, there is still a strong feeling that the murder was not the result of jealousy or personal enmity and that the crime was committed by hold-up men. Those holding to the rob bery theory contend that Mr. Hutchinson resisted the robbers, saw the flash of the revolver barrel in the rays of the elec tric light and dodged, when he was shot. This would explain why the bullet en tered the left side about midway between the top of the hip and the armpit and ranged upward. If he had been standing erect and the bullet was fired from be hind, it is contended that the bullet would not have ranged upward. The body goes to Portland tomorrow af ternoon on the 4:30 train BODY TO BE BROUGHT HERE Public Funeral Is Proposed for the Murdered Y. M. C. A. Worker. Mrs. Virginia Spencer Hutchinson, widow of the murdered Reno Hutchinson, reached Portland last night at 10:10 from Spokane, with her 6-months-old daugh ter. She was met at the depot by her father and mother. Captain and Mrs. Spencer; by Mr. Hutchinson's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hutchinson, and by H. W. Stone, general secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. All bore the tragedy with Christian fortitude. They were driven at once to the Spencer home. Mrs. Hutchinson left Spokane a few hours after the tragedy. She had ar rived in Spokane only a few days before and had not yet completed the furnishing of her home. News pi the tragedy was broken to her by members of the asspcia" tton. who advised her to leave at once for home. Rev. W. J. Hindley was dele gated to accompany her. Mr. Hindley is at a loss to understand the tragedy, although he is inclined to believe it was the work of a thug. Ha left Spokane before the investigation Into the murder was well under way. The body will be brought to Portland for interment. El B. MacN'aughton left yesterday to accompany the remains to Portland. Sen-ices will be held in Spo kane tomorrow and the body should reach this city by Thursday night. A public funeral is being planned. TRIBUTE PAID BY A FRIEND Reno Hutchinson a High Type of Christian Gentleman. The murder of Reno Hutchinson, of Spokane, has come as a blow to every one wno knew him here in Portland. The expression that it must be foul play seems preposterous to those who knew of his noble disposition so free from stirring up antagonism with anyone, even those entirely differing with him in their life and motives. From tho days when he first stepped into college in the University of Cali fornia he was noted for his fairness, his Justice, and his freedom of criti cism for anyone: always taking, the part, in an inoffensive way, of the mistreated or criticised, present or ab sent. In his college he always stood high In scholarship, was an athlete that his fellows were proud of and popular in two or three fraternities. In the closing year of his course he took the college athletics management and wiped out a debt of $6000. He w-as always called upon to um pire football games, for the men of both teams knew that they would get n square deal. He was always a Christian gentleman, whether playing football himself, as he did for a few years on his college team, refereeing a game, or In a mix-up on the college campus. To know his life only slightly even was to love him. so high were his standards, so noble his heart, so fair and just his opinions: always making allowances for other men's environment. their conditions dud training. He was built on a broad gr.mige order, large physically and just as large in his noble Christian nature. He knew nothing narrow, nor did he try to press men into his wav of thinking, though he helped many a man to find himself in life and give himself t,- the important things of it. In his work he planned well and thor oughly. Alwiys genial, always the same, al ways earnest, men were attached to him and always enjoyed working with htm. Many men whose lives have been !iftd higher by their contact with him will remember the things that have given them added power and w-ill think with sadness and biterness of the way he had to go at the hand of a wretch who takes the life of a truly srresit man. for whom hanginsr would be too good.

In view I of the murder last nignt of Reno j Hutchinson, formerly of Portland, the following resolutions were unanimous. t 'Concluded on Fa 4V PRESIDENCY THE PRIZE OF VICTORY Hughes or Hearst Wi be Candidate. ROOSEVELT KEEN SPECTATOR May Take Part in Campaign if Need Arises. EACH MAN HAS HANDICAP Support of Corporation Men Drives Votes From Hughes Murphy a Heavy Load for Hearst, Who Has Other Troubles. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Oct. 16. The man who is elected Governor of New York at the close of the present campaign is cer tain to be reckoned a Presidential possibility in 1908, . and may be the nominee of the party with which he is Identified. If Hearst sweeps the state it is more than like ly that he will outshine Bryan at the next Democratic National convention and carry oft the nomination in a walk. On the other hand, if Hughes is elect ed Governor tfiis climax to his remark ably useful career will stamp him as a man of the hour and one with whom the party at large must reck on. Hughes is strong in New York and. if ii is strength is sufficient to overcome the Hearst wave that is sweeping the Empire State, it may be set down as a fact that he will be a strong man to head the National ticket Hearst May Pose as Martyr. In the event that Hughes is de feated there is little likelihood that j nis name win oe orougnt oeiore tne Republican National convention in 190S. If Hearst is defeated it is still possible that he might be nominated at the head of the rrext" Democi itic National ticket or. if not that, at the head of a ticket put in the field by the Independent party that he Is to day attempting to organize in New York and other states. Hearst in de feat would pose as a martyr: a victim of Charles F. Murphy, the corruption ist, and a victim of the corporations. He would charge Murphy and the cor porations with his downfall and would maKe capital out of the result- On the other hand, if he is elected he will give none of the credit to Murphy, whose support alone made possible his nomination this year on the Demo cratic ticket, but will swell up with pride and attribute his election to the onslaught he made on the trusts. President Roosevelt is deeply con cerned over the campaign now on in his own state and he is every bit as anxious as Hughes for the success of the Republican ticket The President regards Hughes as an ideal man for Governor and has every confidence that he will make good. If elected. Moreover, it is said on good authority that the President sees a bright future ahead for Hughes if he gives a good account of himself in the Govenor's chair at Albany. Hughes is probably nearer tho Roosevelt type of man than any Republican so far mentioned as a possible nominee for 190S. He would come nearer carrying on the reforms that Roosevelt has begun than any other "possibility." Taft stands next to Hughes, but Taft has some ideas that do not coincide with those of the President, whereas Hughes and the President are virtually of one mind, and Hughes in the White House would continue almost without change the good work that Roosevelt has started.

Xo man sees more danger in Hearst's election than Roosevelt. To his mind the success of the yellow editor would be a terrific calamity and an unpardonable disgrace. The Presi dent holds Hearst in contempt And It is not stretching the truth to say thac the influence of M administration :s being used to prevent the election of the Democratic ticket in New York this year. Ordinarily the President would keep hands off, but the situa tion is of such gravity t'nat he is keep ing in close touch with the Republi can leaders, and is aiding them and advising them at every turn and is not attempting to conceal his interest In the fight. President May Take Hand. The statement has been made that the President may later take the stump in New York, if it appears that Hearst is gaining strength and has a fair chance of election. For the present, however, he will take no open part in the contest. The manner in which Hughes has entered upon his active ! Ik. V i- Charles E. Hughes, Who May- Be Candidate for President in 1908. campaign, the character of his speeches and the boldness of his attacks upon Hearst, have met with the approval of the President, and. if the Republican nominee, by continuing his present course, can arouse the voters to a 'real ization of the true conditions and can make them appreciate the real char acter of the Democratic candidate and comprehend the consequences of his election, it is more than likely the President will have nothing to say dur ing the campaign, though he may go so far a? to wriie an -open letter for the purpose of arousing the voters just before the ballots are cast. It seems to be understood, however, that, if the President is convinced that his inter ference is necessary to Insure the suc cess of the Republican ticket, he will take whatever steps he can without going beyond the bounds of propriety. Hughes believes, and the President agrees with him. that the campaign can be won by impressing the voters with the fact that Republican success will mean clean government, whereas the election of Hearst will mean a contin uation of boss rule and corruption. In Impressing these facts upon his audi ences. Hughes does not forget the dig nity of his own position . he does not f Concluded on Page 2. t .

MAYOR'S PLAN IS ADOPTED Action Meets With Approval of Union Grainhandlers. HOLD CONFERENCE TODAY Arbitrators to Be Chosen at Meet ing and Every Effort Made to Hasten - Peace Sympathetic Strike on Water Front. STATEMENTS OF STRIKE LEAD ERS AND MAYOR LAM. TV. J. BURNS, publicity agent for , the exporters We have written to the Mayor agreeing to arbitrate the question of wages paid the grainhan dlers. OSCAR MELBY. business agent for the strikers We are willing to submit our cause to a board of arbi tration as this is In line with the policy of our union. MAYOR LANE, who acts as pacifi cator I am very glad indeed that both sides have agreed to arbitra tion, and sincerely hope that the dispute will be amicably settled. The City Hall is at the disposal of the arbitrators for a meeting place. Arbitration is to Settle the waterfront strike. This has been agreed to by both the warring interests and committees will be named to meet, probably today, and choose a board of referees to adjust the differences. Such a settlement of the trouble seems satisfactory to all Inter ested. The strikers may be expected to be back to work before the week ends. At a meeting: yesterday afternoon, which was attended by the representatives of all the exporting firms, the question of arbitration, as proposed by Mayor Lane, was discussed. After a lengthy argument during which both sides of the question were thoroughly discussed, the Exporters' Association unanimously agreed to sub mit the question of an increase in wages to an arbitration board, according to the plan proposed by the Mayor. Saturday afternoon a delegation from the Grainhandlers' Union, headed by Business Agent Oscar Melby. visited Mayor Lane and proposed to submit their side of the question to a board of arbi tration. The Mayor thought highly of their plan and Monday afternoon sent a letter indorsing it to the representatives of the different exporting firms. This let ter was brought up at the meeting yes- FINDLAY. O.. Oct. 15 The end of the trial ot the Standard OH Company of Ohio for alleged conspiracy agajnet trade came suddenly in sight at the conclusion of the session of the court today. The Stare was precluded by the ruling of Judge Banker from of fering a line of evidence intended to show that the Standard Oil Company gave secret rebates to retail dealers tn oil. The disputed evidence waa in tended to show that an agent of the Standard had offered and paid a re bate to a local grocer for handling itm oil In the retail. It was excluded on the ground that nothing was offered to show that the agent got such author ity from the Standard Oil Company, but must have acted upon his own initiative. terday afternoon and acted upon as stated. The proposed plan of arbitration is that a committee from the exporters and a similar committee from the Grainhand lers' V nion. No. 263. meet at some desig nated place and each name an arbitrator, these two to select a third party and the question at issue to be decided by the three. Hold Conference Today. A meeting of these committees will be arranged either this afternoon or tomor row. The shipping interests are gener ally hopeful of an amicable result from this conference. Previous to the announcement of the re sult of the exporters' meeting, it was gen erally believed that they ould refuse to sumbit the issue to arbitration. But according to a member of the association, they had the best interests of this port at heart and decided to acquiesce to the Mayor's clan. "We met this afternoon." W. J. Burns, publicity agent for the Exporters' Asso ciation, stated, "and after thoroughly dis cussing all phases of the situation, it was decided to send a communication to the Mayor agreeing to arbitrate the question of wages paid the grainhandlers as pro posed in his communication to us. Per sonally I sincerely hope that we shall reach "an understanding." Oscar Melby. business agent for the Grainhandlers Union, No. 263. expressed himself as well pleased with the outcome of the proposal and said: "One of the principles of our organiza tion is to submit any question or dispute that may arise between us and our em ployers to a board of arbitration and the announcement that the exporters have agreed to the plan is highly pleasing to us. We believe that our cause is just and we do not fear the result of placing our de mands before such a commission. Of course we may make concessions or we may not. I cannot say just what our ac tion on any question that may come up will be." Mayor Lane Pleased. When told of the agreement of the ex porters to an arbitration. Mayor Lane said: "I am very glad indeed to learn of the action of both parties to the dispute. I sincerely hope that their differences will be speedily adjusted. The continuation of the strike cannot but prove exceedingly harmful to Portland's supremacy as a grain exporting port, and I shall do every thing in my power to bring about an ami cable agreement The city hall is availa ble for the use of the committee and I trust they will get together at the earliest possible moment." After two nights of almost continu ous session. Longshoremen's Union, No 265, arrived at a sweeping decision early this morning, whereby it de clares a general strike on all vessels loading or discharging cargo in this city excepting the coastwise liners. This strike goes into effect at 7 o'clock this morning, when the work on the vessels now loading would have started. The decision of the longshoremen means that until the result of arbitra tion is known, no vessels will be handled by them outside of the steam ers of the Harriman fleet plying be tween here and San Francisco, the Portland & Asiatic Company's liners, and the steamers Alliance, Roanoke and F.

HARRIMAN W L TRY TO DUST FISH Battle to Control Illi nois Central. PROXIES. INSTEAD OF BULLETS Union Pacific Magnate Has Gathered Forces. FISH WORKS INTO NIGHT While General of Defending Forces Plans Defense, Harriman Is t Rushing to Chicago to Make a Grand Assault. CHICAGO, Oct. 16 President Stuyv sant Fish, of the Illinois Central Railroad, was In his private office at Park Row Depot until long after midnight tonight. Closeted with him were J. B. Gill, of New York, his attorney, and officials of the road connected with the auditing de partment. Mr. Fish, according to the Tribune, was laying his plans for a battle royal which will be fought this morning at the 'annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Illinois Central Railroad.

THREE POLITICAL FAKIRS LONG CLASSES IA FOLIETTH WITH BRYAN' AT HEARST. Declares Senator Represents Twentl eth Century Brand of Populism and Errs From Truth. TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 18. CSpeclal.) For the second time this Fall Senator Long, of Kansas, took the platform to night to reply to criticisms of his po litical career, made by Senator LaFol lette. His speech was In direct reply to remarks made by LaFollette at Hutchinson some ten days ago. "It has been said that this is a per sonal contest between Mr. LaFollette and myself," said he. "It is not cor rect. It is no more a personal contest between us than that ten years ago there was a personal contest between Jerry Simpson-and myself on the money question.. Senator LaFollette and I represent different theories in politics. I can never agree with him. It would be at variance with my entire record in politics, for I have always been against Populism. "The old brand of Populism assault ed public men in office and questioned their character; so does the modern brand. This has been the foundation of-both kinds of Populism. The 20th century brand of Populism is Just as Socialistic in its tendencies as the old brand. "Senator LaFollette is one of a trio of fakirs in politics Bryan, Hearst, LaFollette. "Mr. Bryan stands for Government ownership of railroads. .Mr. LaFol lette, at Newark. N. J., came out in favor of Mr. Bryan's Government own ership. Mr. Hearst has always stood for Government ownership." Continuing. Mr. Long referred to an Interview given out in Topeka by La Follette's manager, in which the latter raid that the fight between the two Senators had wonderfully improved the value of LaFollette as a drawing caid. "Where LaFollette is now worth dol lars as a lecturer, he used to be worth 25-cent pieces.'' was the remark accred ited to LaFollette's manager. Mr. Long referred to "the reckless manner in which Senator LaFollette makes his statements," and termed them "assertions not founded on fact and utterly unreliable." jGil06.0 I
