SUICIDE BRINGS ANOTHER
Brooding Over Banker's Death,
Texas Lawyer Kills Himself.
FORT WORTH, Texas. Feb. 9. L. C.
Hutchins, second Vice President of the
Fort Worth National bank, committed
suicide today by shooting himself
through the head with a revolver. Mr.
Hutchins' body was found by the por
ter in the toilet room of his banking
house. Bank officials declare that tho
dead man's business affairs are in ex
cellent shape. Ill-health and anxiety
produced by the recent financial panic
is given as the cause of suicide.
Brooding over the suicide of Banker
Hutchins, a man he did not know,
Eric C. Gambrell, 38 years old, shot
and killed himself at a local hotel to
night. Gambrell was a son of Rev. Dr.
J. 11. Gambrell, a noted Baptist preach
er, and had practiced law in Dallas for
many years. He formerly edited sev
eral newspapers in Mississippi. Today
ho called on Hunt MoCaieb, an old
newspaper friend, and discussed the
suicide of Banker Hutchins. He later
wont to a hotel and wrote a note ask
ing that McCaleb be. notified of what
he had done.

LOS ANGEU38, Cal., Feb. 9. A col

the Boxer uprising, has been shipped
to New York for sale at auction by Mrs.
K. H. Conger, of Pasadena, widow of
the former Vnited States Minister 'to
China.
Among the curios was the bell of the
Temple of Agriculture, outside the city

a year, when the Emperor of China
went, in the Spring, to the fields, and,
taking the handles of a plow, turned
two or three furrows.

FALSE, SAYS ROOSEVELT
(Continued From First Page.)
brother at Yale, and both Secretary Taft and
hi. brother requested his re-appointment the
only New York officeholder for whom they
made 'such a request. The Congressman from
hie district and the Senators have not agreed
about his successor and he uv still in office.
Ohio Charges Answered.
Thre remain the allegations as to the
appointment of "Taft workers" to postof
fUes in Ohio, in Ohio I have made 38 post
office appointments; 27 of these were re
appointments. :i were new appointments,
the last including the cases where the in
cumbent had died, had ben removed for
cause or had rewried. Generally the ap
Itolntment was made exactly as in other
states, upon the recommendation of the
Congressman from the district. In various
cases, however, as at Maumee, Pluffton,
Greenville and Lelpsic, the nominations were
upon recommendation of both Senators For
aker and Dick, or of one or the other.N In
four cases the nominations were rejected by
the Senate. In two of these. Den ni son and
V ih rich v tile, the nominations were made
upon the recommendation of the then Con
itressman, Mr. Hmyser; in each case the In
cumbent had not been giving very satis
factory service.
I call your attention to the fact that the
Periate withdrew its opposition to one of
these four men and confirmed him, so that
the charge relates to only three out of the
whole number, llt4 postoffices; that of these
three, two were nominated in the usual
fashion on the recommendation of the out
going Congressman; and that the third
nomination was made on the report of the
inspector and would have been made with
out the slightest regard to whether there
was a presidential canvass on or not.
The statements in the editorial in ques
tion are therefore untrue In every particular.
Invented for Political Effect.
Taking up the quotation from the
Eostpn Herald, the President says:
There la nothing to say except that It does
not contain th slightest particle of truth,
and that the misstatement is so gross that
it is difficult to believe It other than a
deliberate invention. There la not the
slightest foundation for it, and no successful
eftort can be made to show that there is
the slightest foundation for it.
If such assertions as those of those pa
pers are made in grood faith, on facts and
with any other purpose than to produce a
political effect by false pretense or by reck
less statements without knowledge, let those
making them produce the specific cases to
which they refer. If In any such case the
accusation Is found true, it will have oc
curred without my knowledge and I shall
deal with it In the precise spirit of my in
structions to the Civil Service Commission
hereinafter referred to.
Opposition Not. a Requisite.
In New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois, In
diana and Wisconsin, so far as I know, an
enormous majority of appointees are tn each
case for the presidential candidate from the
Ftate. This has not been true in Ohio, and
my interference in patronage matters in
Ohio has been limited to my insisting, as I
should insist anywhere else, that opposition
la the purposes, policies and friends of the
administration shall not be considered as a
necessary prerequisite to holding the com
mission from the President.
In my letter to the Civil Service Commis
sion of June 12, 1902, which now holds good
and will be enforced, officers are warned
not to use their places to control political
movements, nor to coerce their subordinates,
nor to neglect their public duties for politi
cal work, nor to cause any public scandal
by their political activity ; but outside of
the classified service they are not otherwise
limited in political activity. No officer
wul be permitted to violate the above in
junction, with my knowledge, no matter for
what candidate he may be working; and i
may add that the only officers as to whom
any question of any violation of this injunc
tion has hitherto arisen have been men
who are not working for Mr. . Taft.
Only Case of Coercion.
The above is a full statement of the facts.
Not an appointment has been made that
would not have been made if there hd been
ro Iresidentlal contest Impending, and In
no case has there been a deviation from
the course that I would- have pursued had
none of those who actually are candidates
for the nomination been candidates; nor has
a single officeholder been removed or threat
ened with removal or coerced in any way
to secure his support for any Presidential
candidate. In fact, the only coercion that I
have attempted to exercise was to forbid
the officeholders from pushing my own re
nomination, this being done in the letter
sent to the" members of my Cabinet on No
vember 19, lfw7.
IS ATHLETE RAFFLES II?
BEHT CADWALMDER CAUGHT
WITH HOLD-VP OUTFIT.
Member of Old Virginia Family and
Vale Graduate Caught Under '
Suspicious Circumstances.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 9. (Spe
cial.) Bert L. Cadwallader, secretary
of the San Francisco Real Estate Board,
Yalo College athlete and clubman, re
turned to San Francisco tonight from
San Jose, where he had been arrested
In company with an ex-convict known
as "Kid" Johnson, alias August Edward
Bellex. Cadwallader had in his pocket
an automatic revolver, a box of car
tridges, the heavy end of a billiard cue,
an extra hat and a black sock which
might be used as a mask. The police
held the two men as dangerous charac
ters. "Babe" Cadwallader, famous as
Yale's crack center rush of five years
ago, went to S"an Jose and secured his
brother's release. '
Bert Cadwallader and "Kid" Johnson
were first noticed in the Crystal Bar, in
San Fernando street, San Jose. Cad
wallader was seen to go to the rear of
the saloon, to the room where the safe
was placed. The actions of the two
men aroused tho suspicions of the bar
tender, "who notified the police. Two
detectives were sent to the saloon.
Cadwallader and his companion had left
the place before the policemen arrived.
They were traced to North Market
street, where they were apprehended
and the weapons found on Cadwallader.
' Cadwallader has been painting crim
son kies in San Francisco for some
days. Of late, he has been partaking
freely of frozen absinthe. He was
taken to a private sanitarium tonight.
His family Is one of the socially promi
nent In old Virginia, as well as New
York and San Francisco.
SETTLES FOR $1,000,000
Marshall Field Estate Admits Mil
lionaire Dodged Taxes..
CHICAGO, Feb. 9. The trustees of
the Marshall Field estate and the
County Attorney have agreed upon
payment of $1,000,000 in full settlement
of the claims of the county concern
ing back taxes on a list of unassessed
securities scheduled in the Probate
Court after the death of Marshal! B'ield
In January. 1906. Harry P. Lewis and
John M. Wilson, the attorneys, who'
represented the county and the estate
respectively in the negotiations, an
nounced today that steps will be taken
at once to have judgment in the
amount agreed upon entered against
the estate.
The settlement ends a suit for tl,
730,000 filed by the County Attorney
in the Superior Court in May, 1907.
The suit followed refusal of the trus.
tees to pay back taxes, which the
Board of Tax Review presented after
it had discovered that the inventory of
the estate contained many securities
acquired In 1900 or later, which had
never been listed for assessment by
Mr. Field. The taxes amounted to
$1,300,000,. and in addition a penalty of
10 per cent, which the Illinois statutes
require on unlisted personal property,
was demanded. This penalty, amount
ing to $4,300,000, was the chief item
of contention in the suit.
AGREE FOR THREE YEARS
Atlantic Liners .to Have "Cniform
Saloon Rales All Year.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 9. It Is officially
announced that as a result of the steam
ship conference In London last week a
three-year agreement had been arranged
by which -all steamship lines will have
uniform saloon rates all the year round
and no rebates, as hitherto, on first or
second-clasf return tickets.

the option of making a reduction of 30
shillings for the Winter season. Thlrd
closs rates are back to the old basis, and
second-clasB minimum rates are generally
one pound higher than before the cutting
began, but. all fares by the Ounarders
Lusitanta and Mauretania are higher
than by any other steamers.

the Methodist Church, are to be per
fected and officers elected at 'a meet

W. H. Warren presiding. Not only will
representatives of the league from the
various Methodist churches of Port
land be present, but one delegate from
each of the city's churches, and one

STIFLED IN CRUSH
Many Knocked Down in Crowd
to See Dead King.
CHILD TRAMPLED TO DEATH
People From All Parts of Portugal
Place Flowers on Biers King
Manual Will Have Quiet
Coronation Cremony.
LISBON, Feb. 9. There was such a
crush of people to gaze for the last
time on the faces of King Carlos and
the Crown Prince in the cathedral .of
San Vincente today that during the
afternoon the square in front of the
church, though guarded by soldiers.
became dangerously crowded w'Hh peo
ple, who had poured In from various
sections of the city and its environ
ments. Many were knocked down, and
especially women and children, and
women fainted, both within the church
and while waiting on the streets. -A
child, who was crushed to the ground
under the surging mass striving for ad
mission, was dead when finally lifted
from under the feet of the crowd.
. When night fell and the doors of the
church were closed there were still
large crowds patiently awaiting admis
sion. They turned away disappointed
when informed that the public lying-in-state
had been interrupted until to
morrow. On that day at 2 o'clock- in
the afternoon the caskets will be closed
and transported to the Pantheon,
where, with further ceremonies, they
will be placed In the sepulchre.
All the people today wore some em
blem of mourning, and In passing the
coffins placed beneath them floral offer
ings, some budding wild flowers from
the fields; others simple clusters of vio
lets and others elaborate creations and
rare exotic blooms. - The bodies were
guarded constantly by officers of the
army and navy, royal archers and the
palace guards. Masses were said at var
ious altars for the dead, and prayers
were offered in many homes.
In official circles It is believed that the
ceremonies in connection with the coro
nation of the King. Manuel, may not oc
cur for two or three months, and per
haps may never occur, as the young
King wishes to inaugurate his reign wltn"
as little ostentation as possible, not un
like Gustave of Sweden.
Indications point to relative tranquillity
for a few . weeks, when Republican ac
tivity and determination to proclaim a
republic, which appear strongly in evi
dence, may force developments.
Queen Amelie relating her experiences
on the day of the tragedy to an Intimate
friend who congratulated her on her
escape from death, said:
"I spread out my cloak to protect Luiz
Philippe after seeing my husband
stretched lifeless on the cushions. I saw
a man leveling a weapon'at me, and I
thought in that fateful moment that at
least my son would escape, that I should
die like a true French woman for my
adopted country and son, when sudden
ly the murderer staggered and fell."
The Queen added that she would never
leave Her son Manuel, now King, but
would remain at his side, aiding him with
counsel and inspiring him to do his duty
8nd love his people. The Queen quoted
Manuel as saying to the Premier:
"I mean to smooth the differences be
tween the warring political factions, for
on this depends the existence of the mon
archy. I will follow your advice always.
Try to be first to suggest measures likely
to advance the welfare ol Portugal, and
I will stand or fall with ray ministers."
The authorities have given permission to
the families of the dead regicides to bury
them, stipulating, however, that the fu
nerals must be held at night. Special
precautions will be taken to prevent the
occasion from being taken advantage of
to make a revolutionary demonstration.
FRANCO A CTJRIOCS PROBLEM
People Discuss Him With Interest.
Has Not Left His Room.
BORDEAUX, France, Feb. 9. Sunday
passed with Senor Franco, the ex-Premier
of Portugal, Still in Bordeaux and still
in seclusion. His privacy has remained
unbroken: since his arrival Friday he has
not emerged from the hotel where he is
stopping, not even, it Is stated, from his
room. The former dictator has become
a problem which the people are discuss
ing with curious, wondering, even sym
pathetic interest, but no one has been
enlightened as to the hour of his depar
ture from this city, or his destination, for
it Is certain that he is not to remain here
long.
A Portuguese detective who accompanied
Senor Franco from Lisbon left for that
city today. His departure was followed
by a report that he was bearing a mo
mentous message to King Manuel and
that Senor Franco would remain in Bor
deaux until he had received an answer.
The ex-Premier registered here under the
name of Jean Ferreira. The police con
tinue to guard the hotel strictly and
will give Senor Franco ample protection
when ha leaves.
DISCOVER THE PLOT IN TIME
Details of Plans of Republicans to
Win Over Army.
LONDON, Feb. 10. The Lisbon corres
pondent of the Times gives what he says
is an .authoratlve account of the plot
which the Portuguese police have been
trying' to unravel. He says that three
days before the assassinations the police
are said to have discovered great stores
of bombs and arms In the hands of
members of the Republican party and It
was revealed that the Republicans in
tended to attack the police depots and
under the cover of the confusion per
suade the soldiers and sailors from their
allegiance to the monarchy by assert
ing that a republic had been proclaimed.
In revenge for the discovery and seiz
ure of these arms, says the correspond
ent, a small section of the militant Re
publicans resolved to murder Franco and
the entire royal family. Franco escaped
the tragedy because he walked instead
of drove from the quay.
FRUSTRATE REPUBLICAN PLOT
Details of Elaborate Plans for Seiz
ing Government Revealed.
MARSEILLES, Feb. 10. The frustra
tion on Friday last, at Oporto of an
elaborate plot to proclaim a republic is
announced in a telegram which was re
ceived today from one of the highest
officials in Oporto by his brother, who
has just arrived here from Lisbon.
According to the telegram a large num
ber of conspirators have been arrested.
Including the leaders. It was also stated
that numerous bodies of militant repub
licans had been seen about the suburbs
of Oporto. The police captured a large
store of revolvers and carbines, together
with the written plans of the .conspir
ators. These plans indicated that It was
the intention to take the city by sur-
prise on Saturday night, invade the gov
ernment house, imprison the governor
and other officials, destroy all lines of
communication and establish a republic.

GOLDEN GATE CITIES.
Southern Pacific Also Makes Im
provements on Llnes In Vicin
ity of San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9. (Special.)
The telephone company has anticipated
the Greater San Francisco by1 combining
for its local service all the cities about
the bay, making a total population of
more than 800,000 served from the San
Francisco exchanges. Formerly Oakland,
Alameda, Berkeley, San Rafael, San
Mateo and the other bay cities were "long
distance," but the growing union among
the cities has made necessary the intro
duction of the local service. At the same
time the Southern Pacific Is making im
provements along the lines of local ser
vice among the bay cities. An augmented
service down the Peninsula with cheap
'commutation tickets, an electric system
to Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, and
even to San Jose, are among the pro
jected improvements.
While the telephone company and the
railroad company are thus reaching out
to anticipate, the greater city, they are
not as free in the interchange of
courtesies as In former years. This was
illustrated in the case of EL E. Calvin
and Henry T. Scott.
Calvin is the general manager of the
Southern Pacific. He received a letter
from Henry' T. Scott, president of the
Pacific Telephone Company, this week in
which Scott complained that he had not
yet received his annual pass over the
railroad. Scott lives in Burlingame and
the pass saves the millionaire the ex
pense of a commutation ticket. Scott re
ceived his pass, but it was Just as good
as no pass. It was duly slgnd and
stamped but across the face was printed,
"Not good on Interstate travel nor for
commutation service." As Scott travels
up and down the Peninsula every day, the
"not good for commutation service"
caused his anger to rise to the vicinity
of his collar.
His opportunity came a fejv days later
when he received a letter frk-n Calvin in
which the general manager of the South
ern Pacific called Scott's attntion to the
fact that he had not received his annual
telephone frank.
Scott sent Calvin as beautifully an en
graved frank. as one ever gazed upon.
Across the face was stamped, "Not good
on local switches nor for long distance
calls between the hours of 6 A. M. and
12 P. M."
RAYMOND HELD FOR TRIAL
Saloon Proprietor Who Shot George
Gunn Placed Under Arrest.
STEVENSON, Wash., Feb. 9. (Spe
cial.) A warrant was issued yesterday
for the arrest of George S. Raymond,
the saloonman, ' charged with killing
George Gunn on February 4, in his sa
loon at Home Valley. Raymond was
found at The Dalles, where he had gone
because he feared harm from the
friends of Gunn. When he learned that
a warrant was issued for his arrest, he
agreed to go to Stevenson without
requisition on the Governor for his re
turn. A preliminary hearing was held be
fore Justice of the Peace A. C. Sly,
which extended far into the night, and
Raymond was held for trial at the next
term of the Superior Court
In the evidence introduced at the
hearing, which was very conflicting,
there was much in favor of the defend
ant, tending to show justification on
the ground of self-defenBe, and for this
reason Raymond was allowed to give
bail in the sum of $1000 for his appear
ance for trial before the Superior Court
next month.
This case has caused much comment
In Skamania County, because of the
fact that no arrest was made at the
time of the Coroner's inquest, although
It was shown conclusively that George
Gunn was killed by a wound from a
pistol in the hands of Raymond, and
if the shot was tired in self-defense and
Raymond was being attacked by the
rive men in Gunn's party when he shot,
as Raymond testified at the inquest,
these men should have, been placed un
der arrest.
', At the preliminary hearing last
night, only two of the four witnesses to
the affair were at hand. Their testi
mony was damaging to the defendant,
but in many . details conflicting, and
both showed an unfortunate Inability
to tell just what happened in the sa
loon to cause one of their party to be
shot down.
Attorney Wilson, of The Dalles, who
has been retained by Raymond, placed
the defendant on the stand, and he
swore that at the time he fired the shot
Gunn was in the act of hurling a whis
ky bottle at him, and all five men in
front of the bar were in a threatening
attitude.
A. M. Llndsey, who entered the saloon
soon after the shooting, testified that
one of Gunn's companions stated that
Gunn was in the act of hitting Ray
mond with a bottle when the shot was
fired.
The state's two witnesses, Barney
Jackson and George Holmes, have been
held under ball to testify in .the case
before the Superior Court, and Hie oth
er witnesses- will probably be recog
nized tomorrow.

LETTER- TO MINISTERS
Would Forbid Furcliase of Liquor
In Prohibition States Clergy
Accused of Teaching That
Jesus Committed Sin.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Feb. .-The Na
tional Moral License League, through Its
president. T. M. Gilmore, today Issued an
open letter to the ministers of the United
States. After explaining that the object
of the league Is to have a uniform restric
tive saloon license adopted by all the
states where prohibition Is not in force,
the letter says:
. We do not offer this law as a ubtltute
for prohibition; that U, it is not intended
to interfere wtth the passage of prohibitory
laws If the people desire them, but it is
intended to brtaig about obedience to ls,w
where the business Is licensed.
The prohibitory laws that are being passed
in this country merely prohibit the manu
facture and sale and do not prohibit the
purchase and use, and all thinking men
know where a demand exists it will be
supplied from some source. If the profit
Justifies the risk In supplying It. Witness
the development of the mall order business
and of the moonshine business, and, as
shown by the figures of the Internal reve
nue department, the per capita consumption
of whisky has not decreased with the
spread of prohibition, while the per capita
consumption of beer has largely Increased.
If the Anti-Saloon League will agree to
It. we will favor having an amendment to
all prohibitory laws providing a heavy pen
alty for the purchase of alcoholic beverages
or for having them In possession in pro
hibitory territory, and this would mean
prohibition.
The passage of laws will not prevent the
use of alcoholic beverage; that Is a matter
of education and of evolution. Those in
terested are taking tbe ground that the.
manufacture and distribution of alcoholic
beverages Is wrong per se. If this be true,
then there Is no question that the Almighty
was wrong In commending the use of wine
In speaking to his chosep people and Christ
was wrong In making wine at the feast of
Galilee, and he was wrong In selecting wine
and bread to commemorate his death.
Now If those interested in the effort to
establish prohibition prove to the satisfac
tion of the American people that Christ did
that which was wrong, that Christ com
mitted a sin and that Christ set a bad ex
ample to future generations, then we fear
that they will have succeeded, in bo far as
the' American people are concerned, in de
stroying the very foundation of the Chris
tian faith.
This is a strange suggestion to come from
men connected with the whisky business to
those connected with the ministry, but we
consider It a very serious phase of this
question, and one that deserves fhe earnest
thought of every man connected with the
church.
