THE MORMXG OREGOXIAN," SATURDAY, XOVEJIBER 28, 1908. MANIAC MURDERS TWO SPORTSMEN Hunters Shot on Succeeding Days in Same Manner Near Eureka. PROBABLY MADMAN'S WORK Kvlrtently Kobbery Is Not Motive. Inknow n Rifleman Lurking: Near Soene Is Suspected and Posses Pursue lliiu. EL'REKA. ral.. Nov. 27. The my? fry sarmumlinf? the hootinfr and killing of Hort porter on a lake near TTini'lad j-PFtVrday aftprnoon was ln tensiri'l and 'Oiiipliared today by the nhootlnsr of Joseph Viera at Glendale. rear the m-ene of the former tragedy, undf-r Identical circumRtances. 1'orter wan shot while he was duck lmntinff. a rifle bullet piercing his brain while he was seated on ihe ban k of the lake, prun in hand. VI ra was shot this morning: while polnc to work in the woods. Men nearby heard a rifle's crack and Viera'a dying srream. Rushing- to his side. they found the unfortunate man in a death BtrusrKle. As in the case of Porter. Viera was shot with a 30-30 rifle with a mush room bulleft. which lends color to the theory of the officers that both crimes were committed by the same person. It was at first believed that the vhooting of Porter might have been accidental, but now the general theory Is that both were premeditated mur ders. Valuables left on the person of Viera discount a robbery theory, and the consensus of opinion Is that the murders were the work of a maniac. A man seen In the -icinity of Trini dad at the time Porter was shot yes terday tallies with the description of a man seen near Glnndale today, and It 1b thought that he is the murderer. He is described as being short, clean shaven, carrying blankets and armed with a rifle. Four posses of more than 100 men are hunting for the murderer. VAN CLEAVE IS ANSWERED ( On Mnued from FI rnt Pa re. the Invitation whloh has been extended to you and which Is still held out to you. should you reconsider your deter mination." concluded Mr. Payne. Method Are Wrong. In his letter to ta chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which ws in reply to an invitation to tfUfy at the tariff bearings. Mr. Van Cleave says: "We would rather bear the ills of the IMngley tariff than be a party to a tariff revision made in the old manner. To aniear before you to plead for certain si'heditN's mould be to acquiesce in the unbusinesslike methods of Investigation a gainst which we protest. We have carefully watched all the statements that have been made by you and your asso ciates in recent, years and. Instead of convincing us of the error of our ways, we are more than ever convinced that .nir present plans of gathering Infor mation on which the readjustment is p!iposd to be based, is wrong, radically, absurdly, fatally wrong." Vr. Van Cleave sets forth his views r-ardln an "expert non-partisan tariff commission," and claims that It Is imnofiMe for the ways and means committee in the limited time It has at Its disposal to make an Inquiry which can furnish an adequate basis for any such tariff as the country demands. There was little of interest brought out nt today's session of the committee, which was to finish the hearing on the metal schedule. While automobiles are to be dis cuss d fully at a later hearing. Charles H. Sherill. of New York, appeared to- day for the Importers of automobiles. f;t voring a reduction in the tariff for nut. mobiles. He charged that there was an automobile trust which ex pected to have the duty increased. Auto Makers In Trust. "Instead of an 'infant industry. seek ing; protection at the hands of your hon orable committee." said Mr. Sherill. "it t-ould more properly be called a trust. The American manufacturers of auto mobiles are divided into two Harge groups, one the Association of licence Auto mobile Manufacturers, which is organised n'Huit t ie so-called Selden patent, and the other Cie American Motorcar Manufac turers Association, which dies not owe nileniance to the Selden patent. The Sel hn patent is an Ingenious device to nmtntam the price for automobiles among t?:e manufacturers uslrx It. I'p to now a!l efforts to break this trust have failed because of a I'nited States patent, which Is a monopoly granted by the Govern ment. IVenotinccd by Kival Vnlon. John Williams, an official of the Amal gamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers, asked that the duty on tinplate be maintained and the system of drawback on exported tin manufactures bo abolished. The reduction of the duty, he said, would demoralize the American Industry. As Mr. Williams was about to leave the stand Chairman Payne read a letter under the seal of the United &ns of Vulcan of Pittsburg, protesting- against Mr. Williams appearing before the com mittee to represent the tin workers. The letter gave as a reason the fact that h had advocated W. J. Bryan's elec tion. Tiiis led Mr. Williams to denounce the rival union. "Hut are you In tho .employ of man ufacturers?" aked Mr. Payne. "Pos:t:eIy not. sir." was the reply. Aks for Radical Reform. Tariff reform so radical as to exceed tK.i urjrod by Democrats was advocated by Jcf-st K. Horton. of the New York Tariff Reform Club. J. H. Nuit. employed by the Western Par Iron Association, including plants in Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and Missouri, asked that the same differentials be tween steel and iron bars he observed and that the datis bo hffih enot:gh to maintain the small etaMisrmients. JoVn W. Walton, of Cleveland, a dealer, importer ami consumer of wire rope. a.ked that the duty on that article be teduivd. Wants Pig Iron Free. W:en Nelson Ion. secretary-treasurer of a company manufacturing m ire arti cles in Tarry town. N. Y.. took the stand to af-k for a removal of the tariff on pic iron. Representative Grigss inquired: "Are you making any money? "A little, out not much," mas the re sponse. He said that if the entire tariff had cmi removed from pig Iron during the Nst year American manufacturers would have received $l.VJ..tM more than they recelwd for the product In 1904. ia that year, be added, a profit was made, "for the Steel Trust does not produce unices it produces at a profit. Mr. Lyon said that the removal of the duty on pig iron would mean a re duction In cost or material or per ion on his output of wire articles, amounting to MO.COu a year. "How . m;i?h would that reduce the price of eggbeaters to the consumer, for no family is complete without an egg beater?" queried Mr. Cockran. "Well, they are very cheap now." re plied Mr. Lyon. "Would you reduce your prices M a ton?" insisted Mr. Cockran. "I hope to be able to do so," replied Mr. Lyon. Attacks Koo.evelt and Steel Trust. In an attack on the Steel Trust Mr. Lyon said that during the panic last Pall "our great President Roosevelt, who rules our land In righteousness, allowed the Steel Trust to turn 70 per cent of their employes out to starve." He said that the President encouraged this cor poration to absorb Us competitor, the Tennessee Coal &. Iron Company. "We are also told.' continued Mr. Lyon, "that President Roosevelt promised this trust immunity from prosecution, so they came out boldly and told us that they would not reduce 'the prices of production. "Why our great President is following the Standard Oil Company to prevent its shipping oil a few cents cheaper than its competitors and lets this Steel Trut go scot free, while stealing from the public through the robber trust from one to two million dollars a year. Is beyond my comprehension." Representative Vrecland. of New York, on behalf of a constituent. George Kern, who manufactures razors, asked .for a specific duty on razors. The pres ent duty averages GO per cent ad valorem, but Mr. Vreeland argued that a higher duty was necessary if the industry were to become profitable in the United States. S. 9. Erland, of Philadelphia, asked for an Increase of 10 per cent in the duty on ball bearinKS. Dwight Devine. of New York, desired that the tariff on pocket knives be re tained. Increased duty on small sizes of chains and a reduction on large sizes was the request of H. F. Mattern, of I e ban on. Pa., and Thomas T. Woodhouse, of Trenton, X. J. Representative Xicholas Longworth in dicated that he was against unnecessary protection. "The total imports of chains equals only a year." he said. i ou manufacture In this country JT,000.000 worth, and yet you want an increase In the tariff. ASK FOR TARIFF COMMISSION New York Merchants Want Revision Thorough, With Reciprocity. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. Resolutions asking for the creation of a perma nent National tariff commission were passed today by the board of directors of the Merchants' Association of this city. The association asks for "an early comprehensive and thorough re vision of the tariff. " Provision is asked in the expected tariff legislation by Congress for the negotiation of commercial agreements with foreign nations on the basis of a maximum and minimum tariff, con ceding the minimum rates to foreign countries which reciprocate by giving minimum rates on American products. LE CONTE MAKES ESCAPE At Sea Three Days Without Pro visions Before Reaching Port. PORT AU PRIXCHL Haytl. Nov. 27. General Le Conte. who was reported a few days ago to have been killed at Jo remie by ihe revolutionists, arrived here today. He got away from Jeromie in a rowboat with four officers and two sail ors, and after being at sea for three days without provisions finally succeeded In reaching Petit Goave. The General de clares that the reports that three men had been put to death at Jeremle on his orders were unfounded. Ie Conte has resumed the duties of Minister of the Interior and General Au guste, who was given this post when Le Conte was thought to he dead, has been made Minister of Public Works, In suc cession to M. Laraque, who has resigned. Three divisions of experienced troops left here today for the South to take the field against the rebels. BLOCKADE NOT RECOGNIZED Root Ignores llaytl's Action Cap ture of Jeremle Admitted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Hayti's "paper" blockade of the ports of Aquin and Jeremle, which the government admits Its inability to make effective by force of arms, will not be recog nized by the State Department. This is In accordance with traditional pol icy of the American Government. No tice to this effect has been sent to American Minister Furnlss at Port au Prince. The government of Haytl acknowl edges that the revolutionists have taken Jeremle and that the Secretary of the Interior is a prisoner In their hands. A German vessel has an lved from New York with a cargo from Jeremie. According to Haytian law. It re quires nn act of Congress to open ports and it is not within the executive pre rogatives to close them. Germany Not Worried. BERLIN. .Nov. 27. The Foreign Office received advices from Port au Prince. Haytl, to the effect that the situation there showed considerable Improvement. Several German mer chants have requested the government to furnish them protection, but In view of the fact that French and American warships soon will be at Haytl, the Foreign Office does not think a German vessel will be required. FULTON SEES HITCHCOCK (Continued from First Pare.) and supported Bryan and free silver and had charge of the Democratic campaign In that state. They insinuate that, if Mr. Chamberlain should be elected. It would be easy for him to secure re election when his present term expires In 113. Or course. Mr. Bourne Is re sentful over Intimations that he Is on such friendly terms with the Democratic organization." Sure of Hitchcock's Aid. Another dispatch tonight to the Post says: "The senior Senator left for Washing ton tonight on the same - train with Chairman Hitchcock and he felt that his visit to the Springs1 had been worth while. This would mean that, while Mr. Taft will not take his side of the con, troversy. he at least will not support Mr. Bourne. Although Mr. Fulton could not enlist the President-elect's active assistance, he is quite certain to get some aid from Mr. Hitchcock, direct ly or Indirectly, and this may prove to be of considerable value."
