NEARBY RANCHER
UNDER SUSPICION
Tracks Lead From Schleuter
Cabin, Where Woman and
Four Children Burn.
CORRESPOND TO SUSPECT
Follow Through Snow to House of
Xordell, Said to Be In Love With
Oldest Schleuter Girl The .
Man Has a Bad Record.
I.EWISTOWN, Mont., Jan. 21. In con
nection with the murder and partial Incin
eration of Mrs. Fred Schleuter and her
four children at their ranch near Flat
Willow, a rancher named Nordell has
been arrested. Ho lives two miles-from
the scene of the crime. Suspicion was dl
' rected toward him By the footprints
found in the neighborhood. It is said
he was In love with Mrs. Schleuter's 15-year-old
daughter.
Follow Tracks From Cabin.
Last Sunday afternoon the people living
In the neighborhood of the crime found
tracks leading away from the Schleuter
cabin. The tracks were followed to the
river, then down the river on the Ice for
some distance, then out to a clump of
brush on the bank, where a horse evi
dently had. been hitched. The horse's
tracks were followed and the trail led to
Nordell s cabin, about two miles below
the Schleuter place. Nordell's tracks
were measured and corresponded exactly
with the tracks found around the cabin.
A guard was left to watch Nordell until
the arrival of the officers.
Wife Dies Suspiciously.
Nordell was under suspicion from the
first. He has lived In that part of the
country for two years and his wife is
said to have died under very suspicious
circumstances a year or more ago. The
husband dressed and buried her without
permitting any of the neighbors to view
the remains.
Nordell Is said to have been enamored
of the eldest Schleuter girl, who was
. about IS years of age. Williams, who so
mysteriously disappeared, was also keep
ing company with the girl before he was
lost, and It is now believed by the offi
cers that Nordell had something to do
with his disappearance.
RATES AND TIFF HIGH
LIVESTOCK MEN ATTACK POLICY
OF RAILROADS.
Faith Broken on 28-Hour Law.
Pinchot Declares Government '
Policy Regarding Range.
' P-ENVER, Jan. 21. Railroad rates,
grazing and the tariff were the prin
cipal toiiics discussed at the opening
session of the American Livestock As
sociation here today by President
Mlndo Mackenzie in his opening ad
dress. He accused the railroads of
breaking faith with the stockmen,
after the latter had assisted them in
getting a law passed to extend from
IS to 36 hours the period in transit
of livestock between feeding stations,
by delaying shipments. Ho favored
the passage of a law by which the rail
roads could be punished for failing to
give a reasonable speed to livestock
in transit and suggested that the In
terstate Commerce Commission should
be given power to enforce such a law.
lie said nothing would settle the
: car shortage question but a law com
pelling the railroads to supply cars and
fixing heavy penalties for failure to
do so. '
He believed the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be given authority
to decide whether an advance in rates
was Just, before such an advance
could be put into effect. He also urged
the members of the association to
make prompt- protest against what
they bolfeved to be excessive rates,
for unless they did, the rate would con-
. tlnue Indefinitely and the shipper be
the loser.
Tariff schedules were attacked by
the speaker. He said that they were
always fixed to suit the Eastern man
ufacturer heretofore, - and that the
livestock producer and farmer was
never thought of.
"1 expect a revision of the tariff,
' probably after the next election," ho
continued,- "and I wish to emphasize
the importance of the livestock pro
ducers making themselves heard by
Congress when such revision is un
dertaken and Insist that our interests
be protected."
Concerning the grazing policy of
President Roosevelt, Mr. Mackenzie
said:
"If the members of this association
are still of the mind that the Admin
istration should be indorsed (refer
ring to the bill for Government control
of the unoccupied public domain to be
Introduced again in the present Con
gress) a resolution similar to that of
last year should be passed."
The greater part of the afternoon
session was taken up with an address
by S. II. Cowan, of Fort Worth. Tex.,
attorney for tho association. He spoke
on the subject. "Legislation Xeeded by
the Livestock Industry." He announced
that tomorrow a bill for Introduction
in Congress would be presented to the
association, which, he believed, if the
association should approve It. would be
passed by the Congress. He said the
law should he amended to prohibit the
railroads from raising rates without
the approval of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and thnt on demand
they should show the reasonableness
of any rate to the commission instead
of having the burden of proof test
upon the people.
Mr. Cowan closed with a strong plea
In favor of the leasing system and
against the grange.
An open letter was read from Gilford
Pinchot, the National Forester, who
made it clear that the whole dispute
over the open range and the Govern
ment leasing system was merely a right
for the control of the range "It Is
the tight of the large man against the
small man." he said. "It is one of the
fundamental principles of the forestry
service that it would rather help the
small man make a living for his family
than help the big man make a protit."
. A. F. Potter, assistant forester, repre
sented Mr. Pinchot. and in a brief ad
dress toid what the Forestry Bureau
was doing for the benefit of the cat
tle and sheep men. He said that the
recommendations of the convention
would be given serious attention by all
tho Government officials- and tire
administration would be largely guided
by it.

Complications in Hop Suit.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 21. (Special.) Paul
It. G. Horst, the New York hop dealer,
arrived tonight to look after his suit
for an accounting against his former,
agents, Louis Lachmund & Co. It is"
said in hop circles that the case has
many amusing features. At hopp-klng
time the market was low, and Horst re
fused to advance picking money. His
contract price was 12 cents. In October,
the market price went to 10 cents, and
Horst came west, offering to take the
hops at the contract price. ' In his suit
against Lachmund, he demanded posses
sion. The price soon dropped to 7
cents, and it is said that Lachmund has
offered to deliver the goods in response
to demands. The contracts covered 1200
bales, or about 240,000 pounds. A differ
ence of 5 cents a pound means $(2,000.

Representative McCall Wants
to Know All About It.
ASKS SECRETARY OF WAR
Offers Resolution In House, Prob
ing Into Orders Given to Shoot
Anybody Resisting Constabu
lary in Philippines in 1906.
WASHINGTON, Jam. 21. A resolu
tion by McCall, of Massachusetts,
calling upon the Secretary of War to
explain "the perpetration of certain
outrages in the Philippine Islands," was
offered in the House today.
The resolution cites the Manila Opin
ion, an American newspaper issued De
cember 7, 1906. as authority for the
statement that in the previous May, "In
the course of an attempt to capture or
kill one Isio, alleged to be a leader of
Ladrones, Captain Waltef A. Smith,
senior inspector of the constabulary of
Negros, issued headquarters orders to
Lieutenant Bringlof to lay waste by
fire and sword all the country
around Marasch, Manjuya and Mag
tacay, turn over all captured persons
to Lieutenant Mohler for work, and to
take lots of ammunition and kill every
thing that runs from the constabulary
except women and children."
Mr. McCall's resolution requests the
Secretary of War "to transmit to the
House any information he has touch
ing the issuance of such orders, and" if
such orders were issued "to inform the
House by what authority of law, and
what, if any, steps have been taken to
punish the issuing of such orders and
the perpetration of such outrages upon
peaceful Inhabitants."

civil duties who are of rank and age are
not likely to be called on for field opera
tions may at their own request be ex
cused from the test. This, however. Is
on condition that such request shall be
regarded by the appointing authorities as
a conclusive reason for not promoting
them to any position in connection with
the line.

Purchasers Will "Complete Short
Line in Southern Oregon.
Sale of the Pacific & Eastern, a 12
mile stretch of railroad, from Medford
to Eagle Point, in Southern Oregon, was
consummated in Portland yesterday. The
road was formerly known as the Med
ford & Crater Lake, and was owned by
W. Cooper Morris. George Estes and Dr.
Striker, of Portland. The purchasers are
Hunt Lewis, of Portland: Edgar HaferT
of Medford, and several others whose
names have not yet been announced.
The . road was originally , projected to
run from Medford to Butte Falls, but
construction was suspended at Eagle
Creek, leaving 20 miles to build. It is
understood that the present purchasers
are preparing to put on construction
crews and complete the line.
The Pacific & Eastern runs through a
rich country and when completed will be
a valuable property. It is reported that
the present price is in the neighborhood
of J150.009, although those interested re
fuse to name the exact figure.
J. G. Woodworth, traffic manager ot
the Northern Pacific, with headquarters
at St. Paul, arrived in Portland yester
day on business connected with his line
and to visit friends in this city. He is
at the Hotel Portland.
Baker City, In Eastern Oregon, is nothing
if ' not original. When currency became
somewhat scarce In other parts of the coun
try, the whole' thing was treated as a huge
joe by the business men of that part of
the state. The banks went right along pay
ing out "real money" to their , depositors
as if a scarcity of circulating medium was
the least of their troubles, and looking over
the gold-bearing hills of the surrounding
landscape, ejaculated, "Ah ha!" if not "oh
ho!" 4.t least, that is the way the average
Bakerlte puts the case, now that the rest
of the state has caught its breath and things
financial are again normal.
A week or two after the "squeeze" was
in full blast, two or three Baker City citi
zens conceived the idea 'of Issuing "gold
currency" on their own hook, and evolved
a plait of manufacturing 2-ounce slugs, or
buttons, of native gold, which, of course,
could not bear the stamp of the Govern
ment, but could be worth their weight Just
the same. Fred Mellls, a mine-owner, and

CAROLINE HOLZ' ESTATE SHOWS
LITTLE CASH OX HAND.
J. Thorburn Ross Renders Final Ac
count as Executor Funds In
Tested In Worthless - Bonds.
J. Thorburn Ross, president of the de
funct Title Guarantee & Trust Company,
has filed in the County Court his final
account as . executor of the estate of
Caroline Holz. It.?hows that the entire
estate has been consumed . in process of
settlement and that nothing will remain
after paying the fees of the lawyers and
executor but three first mortgage, 6 per
cent gold bonds issued by - the Oregon
Land & Water Company of par value of
$500 each.
Of the amount secured from the sale of
these bonds $75 must be spent In paying
the balances due the attorneys and
executor, so that Caroline Bxley, the sole
heir to what remains of the estate will
receive but a small fraction of the $3,531.50
that was collected by the executor. The
bonds were purchased by Ross with the
funds of the estate, and are said to be
almost worthless now.
All the reaU and personal property be
longing to the estate was turned into
cash by Ross, who sold it at public auc
tion during Mrs. Holz's lifetime, she
having become an inmate of the Salem
Insane Asylum after she had placed all
her property In the hands of Ross, as
guardian. She was later declared of
sound mind. At her death her will was
found to name Ross as executor.
Following are some of the amounts ex
pended by Ross: Paid on purchase of
Oregon Land & Water Company bonds,
$1500; paid State .Treasurer Steel for main
tenance of Mrs. Holz in Salem asylum,
$173; paid claim of Title Guarantee &
Trust Company, $439.16; paid appraisers,
$4.15; paid J. K. Schoolfield, appraisers'
fees, $6: paid Robert Catlin, for apprais
ing real property, $3.60; paid W. J.
Clemens, premiuni on guardian's bond,
$12; paid auctioneer, account commissions,
$16.25; paid taxes, $10.10; paid County
Clerk's fees, $7.50.
The balance on hand is $225. Of this
amount and the amount to be derived
from the sale of the bonds, Ross asks
that $150 be paid him as compensation
for his services as executor, and $150 as
attorney's fees.
THREE SUITS FOR DIVORCE

Marriage a Failure.
Fred Warren, whose wife brought suit
in the County Court last December charg
ing non-support, has filed complaint for

LEADING TEACHER
WELL PLEASED
Finds High-Grade Pianos Offered by
Factory Agent Even Greater
Bargain Than Expected, and
Quickly Takes Advantage
When Professor Eugene -etebinaer,
one of . Portland's best-known piano
forte teachers, dropped in at 103 Front
street yesterday, it must be admitted
that he was a little skeptical about it.
But a brief investigation soon proved
to his entire satisfaction that the of
fering was decidedly out of the ordi
nary and Just as advertised.
He found that the pianos were one
of the most reliable makes on the
market a make well known to dozens
of Portland's critical music-lovers
that the Instruments were new, right
up to date (even containing a number
of valuaole patented features not
found in other uprights). And when
he learned the prices at which these
splendid $4E0, $500 and $550 instru
ments wore being sold, he quickly
realized that they were without ques
tion the most unusual values in this
line that he had ever known.
It's a question of selling these pianos
quickly selling them here, rather
than pay freight back to the factory.
That's the situation. The dealer for
whom these Instruments were intended
has closed his doors, and every day
that they remain here now they be
come an expense to the factory, for
there are storage charges, insurance,
etc., accumulating which means actual
loss.
There are only a few more of them
left now. Of the two carloads on hand
when the sale started, fully three quar
ters of thern have been sold. You will
be well repaid by looking these pianos
over. Remember, m 4 factory fully
guarantees every one 1 1 them, and more
than that. If you cannot pay all cash,
I will arrange so that you may hav
the benefit of convenient terms. Don'l
forget the address, 103 Front street
bet-eM Washington and Stark, in thi
warehouse of the City Transfer S
Storage Co. I. F. Ramacclotti, General
Factory Agent.
