MOTIVE ONE OF ROBBERY
Despite Mysterious Circumstances,
Police Declare Highwaymen
Killed Jeweler After Struggle.
Suspects Are Both Toon?.
MASONS INCREASE REWARD.
At m apecla.1 meeting of Doric I
ljBt. No- IM. ,n Masonic or- f
or. a. reward of :.0O m offered for J
the apprehension of the murrterer I
or murderer of Harry T. Butter-
wortb. Mr. Butterworth was treae-
urer of Doric Lodne. The. C!t of J
Ft. John has already offered a re- l
ward of $:50. mnklns; a total of i
$7.10. which will llkoly bo increased.
Following clews that may aid in un
raveling the mystery connected with the
foul slaylnpr of Harry T. Butterworth at
Pt John. Sheriff Stevens 1ms discovered
evidence whirh leads to the belief that
the murder was one of a eerie of crimes
that occurred in the river town Tuesday
nijtht.
Yesterday's investigation disclosed tne
fact that John Hayes, a small boy. was
hld up and searched by two men at St.
John an hour and a half before the,
Jeweler was slain. The deed was done
by two men. detailed descriptions of
whom are given by the boy. and It is
believed that the hlRhwaymen may be
responsible for the murder of Butter
worth. Attempt to Kob Woman.
The Investigation also disclosed the fact
that an effort was made by a man. re
mbllnt closely one of the men who
held up the Hayes boy. to rob Mrs. Mary
Adams, who resides a mile and a half
north of St. John. Mm. Adams had re
ceived a lurge amount of money Tues
day, and In a brilliantly lighted room
was counting it at 9:30 o'clock Tuer.day
nis;ht. She was suddenly startled to hear
the stealthy footsteps of ome one outside
the window, the curtnins of which were
not closed.
Almost immediately Mrs. Adorns heard
some one fall. and. rushing to the win
dow, ran almost face to face into a man
who had evidently stumbled in trying
to gain entrance. He retreated precipi
tately Into the darkness and she awoko
her husband and sons. The light for a
moment was thrown full upon the in
truder's face, and Mrs. Adams caught a
clear glance of his features. In many
ways her description of him tallies with
the description of one of the men who
held up Hayes.
No Positive Evidence Found.
Other incidental clews were discovered
which may prove to be links in the chain
of circumstances the officers are build
ing in the hope of solving the mystery.
Aside from the description of the two
men. as given by the Hayes boy. and the
one man, by Mrs. Adams, however, there
Is little evidence upon which the officers)
may hope to succeed, for positive or
fieflnite information Is absolutely wanting.
Chief of rollce Black, of St. John, with
his force. Is working on the ca.e in con
junction with Sheriff Srevens. They have
slept little since the murder of Butter
worth. having worked ceaselessly In run
ning down various clews and rumors.
They were greatly discouraged until they
learned late in the afternoon of the hold
up of the boy and the attempted robbery
of the Adams residence. It Is said tlu-se
two Incidents may have an lmirt.mt
bearing on the investigation.
Scout Theory of Suicide.
Theories of self-destruction by tne
Jeweler. lf sui-h were entertained, have
been completely abandoned as a result
of the investigation. With the elimina
tion of the theory of suicide, the officers
are confining their efforts to the discov
ery of a motive. That of robbery is gen
erally accepted, and the Investigation tip
to this time has disclosed nothing point
ing to another motive.
Thouch many evidences of ff struile
were discovered, there are so many mys
terious circumstances in connection with
tile crime that the officers are bafrlfd.
Indicating that Butterworth wne way
Inld by highwaymen end assaulted, the
officers point to the fact that his h.-lt
mas found outside the fence separating
his own yard from the vacant lot adjoin
ing From this lot n flight of steps leads
to the yard. It was In falling down these
steps that Butterworth aroused the mem
bers of his household.
Perhaps y feet from the tps. toward
the house, his umbrella was found. And
scattered about the yard were several
small coins, pennies, nickels and dimes.
The finding of thcao. the officers declare.
Indicates that the struffcle contlrtfd over
the lawn. However, in the dead man's
pockets were found more than a dollar
In ma!l change, and only a few moments
elapsed between the time the women in
side the house heard the noiie of the fall
and the time they ruslird to Uulter
worth's aid. When they opened the dor.
he was the only person in slcht. though
they had a fairly good view of the lawn,
the adjoining lot and the streets.
Body Krce Front Scratches.
Another circumstance ti e officers
re unable to explain is the absence
of eitr.er scratches, abrasions or bruises
on the dead man's hands or face. The
finger from which his valuable dia
mond ring Is supposed to have been
removed is uninjured, though Chief
Black, in explaining that circumstance,
Jeclares that Butterworth had fre
Buently told Mm that he always put
the ring in hi& pocket while going
from the store to his home after dark.
rn the other hnnd. It is contended, that
if there was so terrific a struggle as
the officers believe occurred, the dead
man's hands would show that he had
Defended himself.
Although search of Butterworth's safe j
was made yesterday the missing ring was
not found. It had been suggested that he
might haveicft it there. He never owned
a revolver, according to his wife.
"I figure that one, or perhaps two.
highwaymen learned that Butterworth
kept a valuable ting on him and lay
In wait for him near his home," said
one of the officers. "When they
ordered 'Hands up!' he refused to obey
and put up a fight. It must have been j
a desperate fight and Butterworth must
have been getting the best of it, for a
hold-up man never fires until It is
necessary for him to do so."
John Hayes, a 13-year-old boy who
carries newspapers in St. John, gave
the officers a good description of his
assailants. He lives near the edge of
the river and in going up town must
sross a vacant lot near the City Hall. :

It" was shortly after 7 o'clock Tuesday
night when he started to cross the lot
and noticed two men approaching. He
tried to pass them by leaving the path,
but the men separated and forced him
to pass between them. As they passed
the men seized him. one ordering him
not to make an outcry. He obeyed and
the men hastily searched him. They
went through his coat and trousers'
pockets, but failed to look In his hip
pocket, where he had 60 cents.
Thugs Were Both Toung.
The men, the boy said, were young,
one being apparently 20 years of age,
and the other not more than 13. One
of the men. the shorter, wore a light
colored overcoat, and the other had
several weeks growth of beard. One
of the men was- armed, for. as he
pressed the boy close to him while the
other went througfi his pockets, the
boy felt the weapon in a scabbard.
J. H, Hlnman, who conducts the Chi
cago rooming-house In St. John, de
clares that one or two men, tramps he
thought them to be, ate a hurried meal
on his sters between 8 and 9 o'clock
Tuesday night. He secured a fairly
good description of one of them and it
also tallies with that given by the boy
and Mrs. Adams.
Butterworth has for weeks enter
tained a premonition that he might be
killed in a hold-up. according to an
agent for a local Insurance company.
Only last week he voluntarily suggest
ed to the agent that he would take
JiiOOO of Insurance on January 1, de
claring he had reason to believe that
an attempt mlht be made to hold him
up. In fact he said at that time he
had been ladly frightened twice on
recent occasions. He carried no insur
ance at the time of his death.
Conducted Hotel at Gcarhart.
Two Summers ago Butterworth con
ducted the hotel at Gearhart Park. Ho
leased it from Theodore Kruse. after
having conducted Locksley Hall the
previous season. He was well known
by Kruse. Dan Moore and other hotel
men of the Pacific Northwest.
Several years ago Butterworth was
employed in the State of New Tork
as a dining-car conductor, and more
recently had conducted tourists' excur
sions in the West, He and his. wife
appeared frequently In public enter
tainments, for both possessed splendid
voices.
Funeral arrangements over his re
mains have not been completed, but
will be under the auspices of the Ma
sonic order, of which he was a mem
ber. He was also a member of the
order of Elks.
The City Council of St John has of
fered a reward of l'JO for the appre
hension of the murderer and the sum
will be Increased.

Some Icpal Aspects.
"The lcral Aspects of Street Improve
ments" is the subject of a lecture to be
delivered by Herbert W. Sawyer In the
convention hall of the Commercial Club
tomorrow nisht at 8 o'clock. The sub
ject is one that is believed to be of more
than ordinary interest to realty men,
builders, property-owners, and In fact to
the public generally, so that the Portland
Realty Board urges a large attendance.
Mr. Sawyer has given the subject a
great deal of thought and study both
since coming to this city and -during his
residence in New York. The lecture was
to have been delivered some weeks ago,
but a suitable date could not be fixed on
account of political meetings and other
counter attractions.

Physician Indorses Emmanuel
Movement in Churches.
DR. -WETHERBEE SPEAKER
Others Also Address Congregational
Convenllon and Reports Show
Progress of Denomination's
Work Throughout Oregon.
In his fine address yesterday morn
ing before the State Congregational
Association in Hassalo-street Chrch. on
"The Emmanuel Movement from a
Physician's or Scientific Standpoint,"
lr. J. R. Wethorbee, after giving a re
view of the progress of medical sci
ence, declared -that, "this simply brings
me up to the point where I can begin to
agree with those who have been work
ing along the line that all abnormal
conditions are purely mental: that a
large class of diseases that men suffer
from are not based on organic patho
logical conditions and are called
functional, traceable to the condition
of the nervous system, which can be
cured without resort to drugs or sur
gery. "These are the diseases," said the
speaker, "which have been cured by
suggestive therapeutics, mental sci
ence, mental cures. Christian Science
and allied methods of treatment." Dr.
"Wetherbee declared there is value in
all these methods, but they are yet In
a chaotic condition and must be studied
carefully. He said that the conditions
are not new, but were known 2000
years ago In the time of Plato and
Socrates. Taking up the subject. Dr.
Wetherbee said:
Mind's Influence on Disease.
'These conditions of the nervous sys
tem, which I have spoken of as functi
onal have a close relation with every
mental effort, and upon the condition
of the mind depends the permanence
or cure of the conditions. To give you
an example of a case that would come
under this head and be amenable to
mental treatment you know that
worry, fretting and over-anxiety have
a powerful effect on the body; almost
any of you know from experience that
fear will so" upset the one that the
functions of the body will act abnor
mally, anxiety over an examination
will make the kidneys over active.
Many instances of this kind have come
to my notice.
"These cases show what a wonderful
field there Is along this line, and again
how great a skill must be used to tell
whether a case belongs to this class,
or whether it belongs to some organic
cause, and is not amenable to mental
treatment at all. You would do the
case a great Injury to waste time In
psychic treatment when medical or sur
gical procedure should be used. This
shows that this is a complex subject
and requires great skill in diagnosis.
"Now right here Is where so, many
of our friends fail who treat all these
cases alike. Organic diseases that are
proven to be such are not amenable
to this mental treatment in toto. yet
happy thoughts help in any case. S.
Weir Mitchel. who used these methods
for many years In neurotic cases says:
'there is no scientific record of any
case of organic disease having boen
cured by any form of Influence ex
erted through the mind of the patient.'
fine of the most powerful of these In
fluences is for many a simply religious
faith, which teaches trust and belief,
and strengthens the will to do what
Is morally and mentally wholesome.
Need Knowledge or Psychology.
"These nervous sufferers with their
Insomnia, their shifting pains, their
hallucinations, their manias, depres
sions and harmful exaltations, their
Intense irritability, their moral per
versions, morhld feelings, bad habits,
are the despair of the ordinary phys
ician till .he enlarges his sphere of
culture and is able to treat the whole
man. The time Is ripe when the knowl
edge of physchology Is as necessary as
a knowledge of anatomy in the heal
ing art. In the majority of patients
It Is necessary to eradicate powerful
habits, to supply motives, to supplant
Intense egotism by new and real in
terest In others, to hew out new paths
for the brain and sometimes create or
recreate a new will."
The address included an exhaustive
review of the Emmanuel Movement
started In 190S In the Emmanuel Church
of Boston. The speaker held out that
there Is a vast and most Inviting field
ot investigation in the movement from
a physician's standpoint and did not
hesitate to say that the medical pro
fession must recognize the value of
these methods. The address com
manded close attention.
Reports from the Congregational
churches in the state show growth.

HERMAN WITTENBERG FIXDS IT
Dt"LI IX EAST.
Ho Says Election of Bryan Would
Mean Delay In Return ot
Prosperity.
"Pending the outcome of the Presiden
tial election next month, there exists a
general stagnation ot business throughout
the East," said Herman Wittenberg, vice
president and general manager of the Pa
cific Coast Biscuit Company and promoter
of the United Railways Company, yester
day on his return from a business trip
to Chicago, New York and other Eastern
cities. "Business conditions throughout
the East have recovered considerably
from the financial disturbance of a year
ago and will soon assume a normal state.
Many of the mills, particularly the steel
mills, have resumed operations and a
general feeling of prosperous conditions
exists throughout the East. If Taft is
elected, there will bo continued improve
ment along all lines. Should he be de
feated, the effect is hard to forecast.
While the business interests of the East
generally expect that he will be success
ful, still they are waiting for a decision
of the election before launching out exten
sively in projected enterprises."
Mr. Wittenberg attended the Deep Wa
treway Congress at Chicago as a delegate
from this state and afterwards extended
his visit to New York, where he attended
the annual meeting of the directors of
the Pacifio Coast Biscuit Company.
"Great interest was shown at the Chi'
cago convention," said Mr. Wittenberg
yesterday, "and a resolution was adopted
asking the Government to appropriate $50.
Oflo.OOO to develop the rivers and harbors
of the country. Another resolution was
adopted by the Congress indorsing the
proposed Issue by the State of Illinois of
$D9.000.0O9 of bonds with which to im
prove the Mississippi River from Lockport
to Utlca. I also attended the banquet
given under the auspices of the Congress
when Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, the Presi
dential nominees, attended, each making
an address. A good Impression on the
members of the Congress was created by
both of the nominees.
"One of the best addresses delivered be
fore the Congress was that of Theodore P.
Shontz, president of the Chicago & Alton
Railroad, a Harriman property, who as
sured the gathering that all of the compa
nies with which he is associated favored
the Improvement of, all waterways.
"Party leaders are confident that New
York is Republican so far as Taft Is con
cerned but there is a general feeling that
Chanler will defeat Hughes for Governor.
But at that time. 10 days ago. Hughes
had Just begun his campaign and it has
since developed that the up-state voters
are strongly for him. The sporting ele
ment and the disgruntled politicians, of
course, are against Hughes but a hope
prevails that any shortage In Hughes'
vote In New Tork City may be overcome
by the up-state vote.
"While the Republican vote in Ohio
will probably be reduced, the state is gen
erally considered safe for Taft. Indiana,
especially the northern part of the state.
Is a great manufacturing district, and for
that reason the Hoosiers feel confident
that Taft will carry the state. In Illinois
there Is a serious local fight between
Tates and Deneen but it Is not believed by
Republicans who are advised of the gen
eral situation that local differences will be
permitted materially to reduce the normal
Republican majority for the National
ticket.
"Throughout the East there exists a
general feeling that the Pacific Coast
States will go for Bryan. When I met
National Chairman Hitchcock, the first
question he asked me was: "What about
the situation in Oregon?" When I told
him that Oregon would record a plurality
of at least 20.000 for Taft, he was much
encouraged. I also told him that Taft
undoubtedly would carry the States of
Washington and California by much
larger pluralities."

Bookkeeper In Cashier's Department
of Postoffic Says Shortage Is
Due to Mistakes in Books Be-
cause of Falling Eyesight.
Charles A. Straus, bookkeeper In the
cashier's department of the local post
office was not arrested yesterday af
ternoon, as was reported. No infor
mation was- filed against Straus, al
though 'It Is known that Assistant
United States Attorney Walter H. Ev
ans, acting upon the Information fur
nished him by the postofflce Inspectors,
will undoubtedly file a complaint
against Straus this morning, charging
him with appropriation of postal funds.
Local postal inspectors have been busy
for some time investigating the short
age credited to Straus. They complet
ed their Investigation yesterday, and
it Is said that they have discovered
sufficient evidence to warrant them In
having Straus placed under arrest.
Straus, up to April last, had been
employed in the cashier's department
of the postofflce for eight years, but
the discrepancy In his accounts was
not discovered until he had been forced
to take a sick leave. Straus Is well
known socially and politically, and
when informed that his accounts were
in bad shape, said the shortage was
due to mistakes In his books, caused
by his failing eyesight. He was confi
dent that as soon as he could get back
to work on his books he could clear
up the discrepancies. The Government
officials gave Straus several months In
which to make good, but he has failed
to do so. Things were allowed to drift
along- until recently the story of
Straus' alleged peculations became a
subject of widespread gossip and at
last action has been taken by the Fed
eral authorities.
It was rumored yesterday that
Straus had confessed to his shortage,
a thing which all along he has con
tended was a fault In the bookkeeping.
This was denied by Assistant United
States Attorney Evans and Postal In
spector O. C. Riches. Attorney Evans
admitted that he was at work on the
complaint, but refused to state when
the information would be filed before
the United States Commissioner and a
warrant asked for.
Like all Government employes,
Straus Is under a $7000 bond furnished
direct to the Government. The bond
was placed with the Fidelity Company,
through Hartman & Thompson, local
bankers. The bankers were notified
some months ago that there was some
thing wrong with Straus' accounts,
but the company took no action and
probably will not, now that the Gov
ernment Is about to do so.
"I am not prepared to make a state
ment at this time," said Mr. Straus last
night when told it was understood the
Federal authorities were about to issue
a complaint against him, "and all I
want my friends to do Is to still hold

proper time comes I will talk, and

Straus has not as yet engaged an at

is about to cause his arrest, there Is
reason to believe that he will antici
pate the serving of the warrant by ap

Systematic Railroad Robbery Found
by Arrest of Station Agent.
SEATTLE, Oct. 21. The arrest of
George W. Walker, former agent at
Adrian, Wash., for the Great Northern
Railway Company, charged with having
stolen goods in his possession, according
to railroad agents working on the case,
will lead to the arrest of several other
employes, Including at least two con
ductors, and the destruction of "fences"
at present reaping a rich harvest both in
Seattle and other small towns.
Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle and nearly
all the small stations In the state are
said to be rendezvous for a gang of
railroad robbers who communicate and
carry on their trade. Walker, the
agents say, is only one of a gang that
for the last two years has catried on
a crusade of wholesale looting against
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
