Carkins Had Been Declared a Sui
cide Authorities Gather Evi
dence Pa nl R. Roy, Accused
Man, Flees to ' Europe.
PORTSMOUTH. N. H., Feb. 23. As
the result of an accusation made -by
Mrs. Paul R. Roy. known In operatic
circles as Glacia Calla, that her broth-
er, George A, Carkins, was killed by
her husband at her home In Newington,
January 2, the county officials decided
today to hold an autopsy on' Carkins"
body next Tuesday. When Carkins died
the medical examiner decided that his
death was due to eulclde by shooting.
After the tragedy Mrs. Roy left for
- New York with her husband, but last
week returned to Portsmouth, where
she told the authorities that following
a family dispute, her husband and
brother became engaged in a pistol
: fluel, during which Carkins received a
fatal wound in the head. In order to
protect her husband, she said nothing
about the matter at the time.
Since her statement, detectives have
examined the kitchen. where the shoot
ing occurred, and have found several
bullet-marks on the walls. In add!-'
tion, two bullet-holes have been dis
covered in the back of the coat Car-
' kins wore.
An officer who went to New York to
, locate Roy learned that the man had
' started for France about a week ago.
RICH WINE MERCHANT SLAIN
New York Police Detain Brother as
Suspicious Person.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23. Gerolamo
Cella, a wealthy Italian wine importer,
' a leading member of the Italian Cham
ber of Commerce, and a. 33d degree
Mason, died within a few moments
after he was found early today in the
office of his warehouse in West Broad
way, with his skull fractured and suf
fering from the effects of a poison. The
police are working on the theory that
a murder has been committed.
Coroner Harburger declared tonight
that Cella was struck down by a ham
mer blow on the head, and that his as
sailant later poured a liquid poison
flown his throat, presumably to give
an appearance of suicide. A letter
signed with Cella's name, bidding"
' good-bye to his family, was found and
the Coroner's Jury stated they believed
the assailants forced Cella to write
the letter under threat of death. Cella
.was discovered by Domlnick Cella, his
brother, who haB been -detained aa a
suspicious person. Caesar Blachi, a
son-in-law of Cella, is also held as a
material witness.
Gerolamo Cella ias conducted a
wine-Importing business in this city
. for many years, and la said to have
amassed a fortune of $500,000.
OPEN DOOR TO ALASKANS
Kills Seeks to Admit Northern In
dians to Chemawa.
ORHGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 23. While the Indian appro
priation bill was pending in the House of
Representatives, Congressman Ellis of
fered an amendment permitting the edu
cation of Alaska Indians at the Che maw a
Indian School, Oregon, but it wae new
legislation, and as such subject to a point
of order, and was rejected. Mr.. Ellis
spoke briefly in support of his amend
ment, saying:
Mr. Chairman, this school la located with
in the district of my colleague (Mr. Haw-
-ley), who is now absent from the House on
business and by leave of the IJouse, and I
have been requested by constituents of his
to oftr this amendment when the proper
point in the bill was reached. It seems that
by reason of the Increased facilities afforded
for the education of Indians in the reser
vation schools this school has not been at
all times kept up to Its fullest capacity. It
In a school affording special facilities for
higher education, and - a number of Indian
pupils -from Alaska would like to avail
themselves of the opportunity of being- edu
cated there, but the department has re
fused to irive them admission.
Now. by reason of the climatic conditions
of Southeastern Alaska, from which most of
the pupils would come, and of that section
of the State of Oregon where this school is
located. It is probably the best adapted of
any of the schools that are taking up the
higher branches of Indian education to care
for these pupils. There may be but few
I think there are comparatively few who
desire to embrace the opportunity, but I
m ould like to see the provision of the law so
broadened that they might do so In the
event they offer themselves. I very much
regret the chairman of the committee has
seen fit to raise the point of order against
.it, because I believe there Is merit in the
amendment.
MONEY COST RULES WAGES
Harriman Comments on Present
Day Labor Problems.
NEW YORK. Feb. 23. "I don't want
to say how Ions I shall stay In the har
ness," said E. H. Harriman today, when
he was asked if he expected to realize
his intention 12 months afro that he might
retire from business in another year. Mr.
Harriman said:
"Just now we are hearing about the
wage problem. But do the people appre
ciate that with a given opportunity for
the development of business the more we
have to pay for capital the less there is to
pay for wages? I am not referring to
the scale of wages, but to the amount
that we can spend for wages. - And In
order to' get capital on reasonable terms,
we have got to have good credit, and
credit must be maintained by surplus
earnings. There is the whole thing in a
nutshell." .
HUGE ORDER OF TIMBER
Contract for Shipments From Si
beria to Australia.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 23. An Australian corpora-'
tion has Just received a concession from
the Russian government to take out 30,
000.000 feet' of timber a year from a forest
in Siberia, 900 miles from Vladivostok, to.
be delivered in Melbourne. Australia, ap
proximately 8000 miles away, and nearly
three times the distance from New York
' fo' San Francisco.
It is likely that no lumbering operation
of recent years more strongly Illustrates
the pinch in the timber supply in all parts
of the world. In the news of the conces
Chi
sion, told in an American lumber Journal
is the suggestion of the difficulty that all
countries may, have to encoutner In get
ting the wood which they need In the
future. Every year timber cruisers are
going further and further afield and cut
ting trees which In former times of
abundance they passed because of the
Inaccessibility of the forest.
In taking out the Siberian timber the
Melbourne lumbermen will have to ship
the entire year's cut In July. August,
September and October, for during the
remainder of the year there is no open
water at the point of-shipment. What
makes this unusual feature of transport
ing bulky logs 8000 miles quite feasible Is
that such unmanufactured stock Is ad
mitted free, while there' Is a heavy duty
on all manufactured products brought
into Australia, the. duty on lumber, for
Instance, being nearly tS a thousand
board feet. At Melbourne a new mill Is
being erected to manufacture these logs
into dressed stock, such as flooring, ceil
ing and other products, as well as Into
lumber.'
These Siberian operations differ from
the lumbering methods in the United
States.'in that in this country it is possi
ble and customary to have sawmills con
veniently situated near the place of pro
duction, though with the continually de
creasing supply, the larger mills often
find it profitable to haul their timber by
trams and railroads many miles away
from their saws. Forest experts In this
country say that the hope of the United
Slates for a steady supply of ' timber
lies in .the application of forestry to all
timberlands. private and public, and the
careful study of the economical and bet
ter utilization of products. Even- so, a
severe shortage In 20 to 25 years must be
expected. '

try Bewails Fate of Maligned
and Misunderstood Rich.
ST. PAUL. Minn., Feb. 23. (Special.)
T. B. Walker leaps to the defense of
downtrodden Billionaire John D. Rocke
feller 'with the assertion that Mr. Rocke
feller la a good citizen one of the best
citizens of the United States. This Is
what Mr. "Walker says of the oil king:
"One of the best citizens In the United
States Is John D. Rockefeller. He is
honorable, just and 'fair. He is a good
Christian. There is no better ' thumbed
Bible In the country than that of the oil
king. He knows and loves the Scrip
tures. And yet how he is reviled by the
unthinking!"
Millionaire Walker got his money out of
lumber. He has - piled up tremendous
wealth and his timber holdings, first in
Minnesota, have gradually extended until
he is a tremendous power in the lumber
situation. He too has been criticized and
speaks with feeling of the attacks of the
unjhlnking on men of wealth. After
clearing John p. Rockefeller's character
Mr. Walker devoted his attention to
James J. Hill.
"Hill Is "entitled to 10,000 times more
credit for his work In the Northwest
than is William Van Home and other
men who have played similar parts In
Canada. Tet Van Home and some of his
associates have been knighted and
honored by the British government and
Hill Is attacked and condemned by the
farmers of the Northwest. As a matter
of fact the Hill merger of the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington
was the only thing which prevented St.
Paul and other Minnesota cities from be
coming mere way stations on transcon
tinental lines owned and controlled by
Harriman."
After rushing to the aid of the down
trodden mlllionaries Mr. Walker ex
pressed himself on the subject of trusts.
"I am not a believer In trusts," he.
said. I don t like the trust Idea. I
have often been approached by promoters
but have Invariably turned them down.
But I am not a believer In the idea that
the trust necessarily robs the people
either. It doesn't appear that the oil
trust Is robbing the people when it sells
oil at 60 cents that formerly sold for fx.
It Is a serious misfortune that politicians
and the political world generally look
with hostility on business interests the
development and wealth of which mean
the welfare of the country."
STAY SHUT TILL APRIL 18
Shingle MIHmen Say Demand Does
Not Warrant Resumption-.
SEATTLE, Feb. 23. At a meeting here
today participated in by representatives
of one-third of the 500 shingle mills In
the State of Washington, a movement
was started to keep the mills suspended
until April IS. By far the greater part
of the mills of the state are already
closed, having done little or nothing since
November, when the Eastern .market
weakened and new advanced freight rates
became effective. Sporadically they have
been resuming operations, but, in the
Judgment of those at the meeting today
presided over by D. W. Bass, former
manager of the Shingle Mills Bureau, It
was the sentiment that the present state
of the market did not justify resumption.
Another meeting is called for Thursday,
at Seattle, when efforts will be made to
get .together the majority of the state
manufacturers to ratify the action taken
today. Estimated present demand Is far
below 10 per cent of possible output.
Twelve thousand men. It is estimated, are
affected.
SAliEM raising uoen se fees
Instead of $400, Saloons Must Pay
$1000 City Gains $7500 a Year.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 23. (Special.) The
City of Salem has increased Its saloon
license from $400 a year to J1000 a year
and has Imposed a license of $300 a year
upon drugstores which sell liquor other
wise than upon a physician's prescrip
tion. A distinction has also been made,
by the new ordinance, between saloons
that sell all kinds of liquors and those
that sell malt liquors only. In the case
of the latter, the license Is fixed at $800
a year.
There are now 18 saloons In the city,
paying a total of $7200 a year in licenses.
It is believed that under the new ordi
nance about three of these will go out
of business and that the 15 remaining will
pay a total of $15,000 a year Into the
treasury. It Is believed that the new
license ordinance will have some effect in
reducing the anti-saloon sentiment, for
the Increase of about $7500 in the receipts
from the liquor traffic will be of help to
the city In meeting current expenses. The
ordinance will go into effect March 2 and
will apply to all licenses Issued after
that date.
Druggists' say that they cannot afford
to pay a license of $300 a year, and if pay
ment of that fee be enforced they will
sell no liquor, except on prescription.
One 'druggist remarked that if he sold
liquor enough to justify him in payment
of a $300 license fee, his store would soon
look like a saloon.
WRITES OUT HIS WILL FIRST
Touchet Farmer Then Sits Down
and Shoots Himself.
WALLA WALLA, Feb. 23. (Special.)
The funeral of John Wade, the Touchet
farmer who committed suicide yester
day, was held in this city today and
burial will be made in the city cemetery.
A neighbor boy. In passing the Wade
home yesterday, saw the old man come
out of the house and sit down on a
bench. The lad's attention was a mo
ment later attracted by the report of a
gun. He turned and saw the body of
the old man on the bench. The boy gave
the alarm and an investigation disclosed
that but a few moments before taking
his life Wade had deliberately written his
will, the paper being found on the table
with the pen and ink lying near. The
document was apparently written without
haste, as the writing was legible and
fully punctuated.
One son of the dead man, Oliver Wade,
la a resident of Walla Walla, his home
being at 614 Pleasant street. The son was
greatly shocked to hear ot the death of
his father, as he supposed him to be In
a rational mental condition. The "shot
took effect In the forehead. .
Monmouth's S4de of the Story.
MONMOUTH, Or., Feb. 23. (To the Edi
tor.) We should like to correct communi
cations printed In the Saturday and Sun
day issues of The Oregonlan relative to
the game of basketball played between
the Monmouth Athletic Club and McMlnn-
ville College teams.
First That the score was not 23 to 23,
but 21 to 23 In Monmouth's favor. And
the fact that the game was reported as a
tie shows that the reporter is unfamiliar
with basketball rules.
Second The barn which served as a
basketball court was without any accom
modations; and the boys notelng used to
roily water managed to obtain some
blackberry brandy which they used In
stead. The police refused to arrest Man
ager Butler, but the Constable arrested
him without papers, and led him forcibly
to the Justice's house. The hearing was
in progress, when Lawyer Fenton Inter
rupted the proceedings, and after giving
the Constable and the rest a little legal
advice, they were more than willing to
dismiss the case.
The Monmouth team wishes to express
ts appreciation of the kindly treatment
received at the hands of a college soror
ity after the game.

DEATH AT GRADE CROSSING
EXPRESS TRAIN HITS WAGON
LOADED WITH PEOPLE.
Six Killed Outright and Three Badly
Injured, Two of Whom May
Die From Hurts.
SPRING VALLEY, N. T., Feb. 23.-A
foam-specked pair of horses that tore
through the streets early today, dragging
with them a splintered wagon pole,
brought to the village the first news of
a grade crossing accident In which nine
members of Its most prominent families
were either killed outright or frightfully
Injured.
The runaways brought up at the livery
stable of George. Young, from whom they
had been hired the night before to take
a party of young men and girls to a
basketball game at Nyack. Returning
In the early hours of today, the wagon
load of merrymakers was run down at a
crossing by an Ontario & Western ex
press train. Four of the party were In
stantly killed, two died while being re
moved to the Hudson County Hospital at
Hoboken, N. J., and the other three lie
in a serious condition at that institution
tonight.
The dead:
George Reith, aged 30. assistant super
intendent of the telephone office and
manager of the Spring Valley basketball
team.
Nelson May, aged 19, who drove the
team.
Bertha Singer, aged 18.
Edith Singer, aged 2a
George Shem, aged 88, a basketball
player.
Jeanette Palmer, aged 21.
Injured:
Warren Palmer, 22 years old, condition
serious.
Henry Dlsteren, 23 years old, basket
ball player; will possibly recover.
Mary Edith Bird, aged 18; condition
critical.
The responsibility for the accident is in
dispute. The survivors cannot be ques
tioned yet, and the only other witness
was the crossing gate tender. He de
clares that the team was driven, through
the lowered gates and that the wagon
had' been struck and torn from the pole.
The animals were uninjured.
BRYAN JOLTS UNDULY RICH
Time Coming, He Says, When They
Will Be Alone Without Friends.
TOPE K A, Kan.. Feb. 23. W. J. Bryan
addressed an audience of men only here
this morning which completely filled the
City Auditorium even to standing room.
Mr. Bryan spoke for two, hours and held
his audience almost to a man. There
were possibly 4500 present. The speech
was one of his regular lectures "The
Prince of Peace."
Bryan left for Lawrence, Kan., where
he spoke tonight under the auspices of
the Y. M. C. A., in the Kansas University
gymnasium. He was a guest of W. u.'
Stubbs, candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor who is also
the president of the Lawrence Y. M. C. A.
In. his speech here Mr. Bryan touched
on the money question and said: "A short
time ago the Christian churches were in
a big controversy over whether or not
they should accept money from some of
the great financiers. Many men spend a
part of their lives getting money, a second
part trying to keep other men from trying
to get it away from them, and, recently,
a third part in trying to give it away. I
think the time is coming, and coming
soon, w'hen many of these great financiers
who have got their money by dishonest
means will be made the most lonesome
men on earth by being left alone, without
friends and with nothing but this money."

congregate, particularly In Now York.
Paris and Switzerland, and are making
a special effort to penetrate within the in
nermost councils of the Social-Democratic
and Social-Revolutionist organizations.
In connection with the latest plot the
men of the secret service were absolutely
trusted by comrades of the revolutionists
who attended the meetings- held in Fin
land, where the final plan for the assas
sination of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicho
liavitch and Judge Tcheglovitoff, Minister
of Justice, was elaborated. Two hundred
Tlaln clothes men were called in by heads
of the police department and given precise
Instructions as to what action snouia db
taken and apparently they arrested with
out error the persons Involved. Thus
far the police have failed to extract a
confession from any of those arrested as
to their Identity, but several undoubtedly
are members of arlstocratio houses. It
is ' certain that numbers of conspirators
have managed to evade arrest, and a
careful watch Is being kept for these.

Sleep
Sleep js nature's re
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. ' Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. Dr. Miles'
Nervine quiets the irri
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
"For over two years I suffered un
told agonies; my friends thought I
was going crazy. I could not sleep
nor rest at all. I tried different doc
tors, but failed to find relief. My
head would ache all the time; I was
like one drunk; could not concentrate
my mind, and was so restless and
worried that sleep was out of the
question. After taking one bottle of
Dr. Miles' Nervine I felt wonderfully
changed. I am now on my third bot
tle and am gaining all the time. I
can lie down and sleep like a child,
and am able to do my work."
MRS. MAY SCOTT. English, Ind.
Your drungist sells Dr. Miles' Nerv
ine, and we authorize him to return ,
price of first bottle (only) If it falls
to benefit you.
