ELOPED, SAY POLICE
Missing Man May Have Left
With Stenographer.
DOUBT DEATH OF HUGHES
Officers lri That Carpenters'
Cnlon Treasurer Probably De
parted Safely Instead of
Drowning Himself In River.
Deepening: the mystery surrounding
the sudden disappearance of Nelson
Hughes, traasurrr of local union No. 6J,
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters. Frl-
day morning-, detectives are now work
. Ing on the theory that a pretty young
stenographer, formerly of Portland,
msy be largely responsible for his
flight.
The man is reported to have been
infatuated with the girl for several
months, and she Is said to have recipro
..ated his affection, for a ttme, before
her recent departure from this city, she
lived at the Hughes home and he and
his wife are said to have quarreled
frequently as a result of his. atten
tions to the young woman.
So firmly convinced are the detec
tives and officers of the union that the
reported drowning of Hughes was
merely a blind to lead them astray,
that a warrant charging him with em
bezzlement was Issued yesterday. The
specific amount mentioned In the com-
. plaint is only (73.75. but it Is said that
Hughes defalcations may be as much
as $500. The union, of which he was
treasurer, is said to be the loser. O. J.
Wright swore to the complaint. He is
r. prominent member of the union and
' llvts at 433 West Park street.
Mystery Grows Deeper.
It Is now generally believed by the
' detectives and union officials that
Hughes secured as many funds as pos
, slble. deerted his wife and eloped with
the pretty stenographer. However, the
myntery surrounding his disappearance
grows deeper and more perplexing-aa
, h detectives continue tounravel clews
which throw additional light on his
movements and motives. They are now
convinced that the drowning etory was
' merely a clumsy effort to tKrow them
off the track.
Hughes left home at 1065 East Sal
" mon street early Friday morning. His
wife believed he was going down town,
and thought no more of it until Sat
urday. When he failed to return home
that evening she notified police head
quarters and also officials of the car
penters' union. No trace of him was
round, but late that afternoon Law
rence McDonald, 1070 Corbett street,
found a hat, a bank book and some
clothing on the river bank at the foot
of Hamilton street.
He Immediately notified the police of
his find, and the hat was identified as
belonging to Hughea. The bank book
was plainly his, showing a balance of
b very small amount to his credit.
However, Investigation at the bank
by union officials are said to have re
vealed many suspicious circumstances.
Although there had been an official ex
amination of his books only a few days
before, which apparently exonerated
him of all suspicion, the Inquiry at the
bank is said to have resulted other
wise. Doubt About Drowning.
The detectives who went to the bank
where the hat and other articles were
found expressed th. belief at once that
Hughes had not been drowned. But
officials of the union. In order to
assure themselves secured the blood
hounds of Detective Andy Vaughn Sun
day and organized a searching party,
scoured the river banks and the entire
neighborhood. The dogs failed to pick
up the scent and the union ofMclals are
now satisfied that Hughes did not end
his life. A warrant of arrest was con
sequently issued yesterday.
Detectives who have been assigned
to the case are trying to locate the
young woman who may have Joined In
his flight. They believe that by locat
ing or tracing her, if she has departed,
they will eventually locate the missing
carpenter.
Hughes Is the Inventor of several
promising contrivances. In order to
promote his inventions he organized a
company, of which he was president.
It is said that the purchase of one of
his Inventions, Involving 110,000. was
In progress at the time of his disappearance.
BAKER NOT IN CONTEMPT
Theater Proprietor Explains Dili l
cnlty Arising Over Programme.
Councilman George L. Baker, pro
prietor of the Baker and Bungalow
Theaters, Is not in contempt of court.
He apparently disobeyed an injunction
6f Presiding Judge Gantenbein. issued
Saturday, when he had the small sheets
containing the programme of the Baker
Theater's first performance printed
Saturday night and distributed to the
patrons of the playhouse Sunday. But
as ho was able to show that the pro
gramme furnished him by the National
Programme Company contained errors
and objectionable saloon advertise
ments, and as the injunction made an
exception upon this point. Judge Gan
tenbein decided that he could not be
punished, although ha refused to per
mit the distribution of the National
Company's programmes. The injunc
tion was dissolved yesterday, and Mr.
Baker is now free to use any pro
grammes he sees fit. The only remedy
th National Company now has is to
bring a suit for damages, alleging a
violated contract. This company is
composed of J. G. Dresser and G. M.
Williams.
The National Company has been sup
plying the little booklets used at the
Baker for about two years. Mr. Baker
says, however, that many times the
number furnished was insufficient to
supply the crowds, and that tha com
pany refused to. provide more. H. A.
Chadwick, with whom Mr. Baker has
negotiated for programmes, is made a
co-defendant in the suit.
Attorney John F. Logan, representing
the defendants, filed a demurrer to the
complaint yesterday afternoon and will
attempt to have It thrown out of court
on the ground that It does not state
farts sufficient to constiute a cause of
action.

STORE AND BARNS BURN
FIRE AT MOTJXT AXGEL CAXTSES
- IjOSS OF $3000.
Bucket Brigade Is Unable to Check
Spread of Flames and Build
ings . Soon Go.
SILERTON, Or., Aug. 31. (Special.)
Fire at the little town of Mt. Ancel,
near here early this morning caused the
complete destruction of a drug store, a
dentist's office and two barns. No one
was Injured, but the loss will probably
be 33000. with only a small amount of in
surance. The Are started In the drug store as the
result of defective electric wires. The
dentist's office was directly above the
drug storo and the two barns adjoined It.
It was 8 o'clock this morning when the
flames were discovered. The fire was in
the rear of the drug store and spread rap
idly over the building. From this building
it leaped to the nearby barns and in an
incredibly brief time the three buildings
had been completely destroyed.
The drug store was owned by Mr. Da
ken, and the dentist's office by Dr. M. E.
Guire. The name of the owner of the
barns is not known here. A small amount
of Insurance was carried on the drug
store.
The bucket brigade of the town worked
heroically, but was unable to check the
names in their progress. Fortunately, the
destroyed buildings were located on the
opposite side of the street from, the main
business portion of the town, and the
business' district was, in this way, prob
ably saved from destruction.

A RECOLLECTION . OF THE PAXIC.
Now, since the panic of a year ago
is past history, one can recollect a few
incidents of those days and make some
rough sketches to show how the Beef
Trust stands ready to use club and
brickbat on both producer and consum
er at the first signal fire from Chicago.
Those were days when the big bankers
were calling frantically to the average
man" to come along patriotically and
deposit his coin In the bank, be it
ever so little ever so little. The bank
er admired the average man those days
as, much as the politician appreciated
you and me last June. In those days
the bank clerk would likely tell you
he had no safe deposit boxes to rent,
while you could stand there and gaze,
tier npon tier; on empty, unoccupied,
unrented boxes. Those were the days
when the Beef Trust shipped its money
to Chicago, while livestock growers
who brought in their stock saw it
sorted out and weighed up and were
given a time draft, payable whenever
the Beef Trust got good and ready to
dig up. What could the shipper do?
His cattle were in the hands of the
Trust and the draft was worth nothing
to him or the country banker. He
couldn't buy more cattle with it; he
couldn't buy food with it; he was help
less and his business at a standstill
until weeks after the holidays were
over. As for the retail butcher, many a
man mqrtgaged the home that shel-

Butchers who had owned markets for
years were compelled to turn rhei
over, sometimes completely, sometlm.-s

And this f another storv:
Those were days when Smith kept Msj

coin, said they, "and he is the, only!
man who pHys cash."
