Ixniis Quimby Reported to be out
of the city with his wife, visiting; the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
In the murderous assault committed
upon Rae F. Brackett, a well-to-do elec
trical contractor, at midnight Wednesday,
on Yamhill street, near Fourteenth, the
police have developed a mystery which
bids fair to defy unraveling. While, the
victim of the shooting Is lying in a very
critical condition In the Good Samaritan
Hospital and surgeons are endeavoring
to save his life, developments are arising
making the case one of exeretnely sen
sational interest and of a puzzling and
mysterious complexion.
The principal facts brought out by yes
terday's police investigation are that the
victim accuses two of his close friends
of the crime and rebate the Identity of
the woman over vi-hom he alleges the
shooting occurred. Alibis are claimed
for both suspects. All the men are
married and the woman has been mar
ried, but Is now divorced.. The men ac
cused by Mr. Brackett of the assault
are J. M. Main, a manufacturer's agent
occupying offices at 8!8 Chamber of
Commerce building, and Louis Quimby.
a salesman for the Allls-Chalmers Com
pany, of Seattle, dealers in machinery,
who have a branch In Portland at 94
First street. Mr. Quimby lives at the
Mordaunt apartment-house. 686 Everett
street.
' Woman In the Case.
Mrs. R. M. Frown, a widow, hardly
more than 30 years of age. who conducts
a rooming-house at 635 Yamhill street,
is the cause of the trouble, according to
Rrackett's statements made yesterday
to Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
and Detectives Snow and Day. who went
to the hospital to take his ante-mortem j
statement. She maintains total igno- j
ranee of the affair, and the authorities
are inclined to the belief that she Is In
nocent of any knowledge or connection
with it.
Mr. Main Indignantly denies the accu
sation brought against him by his friend
and asserts that he was In Ashland
Wednesday night and did not reach Port
land until yesterday morning, and there
fore could not possibly have participated
In the shooting. He further asserted that
he had not seen Quimby yesterday, whom
he says is now in Seattle with his wife
visiting the exposition, having left Port
land a week ago.
Story Told by Main.
He declared that he went to
Ashland Tuesday and did not return until
yesterday morning at 8:25 o'clock. He
cited the names of Portland people who
could swear they saw him there "Wednes
day evening at t o'clock and he showed
a Pullman berth receipt of the date of
July 14 from Ashland to Portland. He
also gave the Information that Quimby
is with his wife in Svattle and was ex
pected to return home last night or to
day. Inquiries were made immediately last
night by telegraph In both Seattle and
Ashland and while it was found that Mr.
Main was supposed to have been in Ash
land and that Mr. Quimby had been reg
istered in a hotel in Seattle on Wednes
day, it was discovered that all trace of
them was lost in each place although .it
was supposed Main had left Ashland on
the evening train for Portland.
Partial Confirmation Found.
In Ashland it was found that Mr. Main
had engaged a room at the Oregon Hotel,
but had never appeared there to take up
Ms reservation. In Seattle Mr. Quimby
and his wife were registered at the Hotel
Washington, but left about 12 o'clock
noon on Wednesday.

Prit.A t-fetlA de Saeran and . Mme.

Princess de Sagan with her three chil
dren by her previous marriage with
Count Boni de Castellane.
The life ot the Prince and Princess
recently has been described by friends

Only One of Conferees
Is Interested.
HOUSE STANDS FOR $1 RATE
May Yield if Southern Sena
tors Filibuster.
HOT CONTEST ASSURED
Senate and House Will Each Hold
Out for Own Rate Only Fear
of Long Session Can Se
cure Victory for Senate.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 16. The make-up of the
committee on conference that Is now
handling the tariff bill, endeavoring to
compromise the differences between
the House and Senate bills, is not such
as to inspire confidence in the hearts
of those Senators and Representatives
who favor the Senate duty on rough
lumber, 1.50 per 1000 feet It may be
that that rate will be retained, but
there is only one Republican on the
conference committee who is directly
Interested in the lumber schedule, and
that man Is handicapped because he Is
a big lumberman. . .
Only One Has Direct Interest.
Of the Senate conferees, not one has
any direct interest in the tariff on lum
ber. Aldrich. Rhode Island; Burrows,
Michigan; Penrose, Pennsylvania; Hale,
Maine; and Cullom, Illinois, represent
states that care far more about cheap
lumber than they do about high pro
tection for the American lumberman.
A few yeai-s ago Burrows might have
been somewhat concerned, but now
his Interest Is secondary. On the
House side, Payne, New York; Dalzell,
Pennsylvania; McCall, Massachusetts;
Bowteli, " Illinois; Calderhead, Kansas;
and Fordney, Michigan, are the con
ferees, and Fftrdney is the only enthus
iastic advocate of a high tariff on lum
ber, for he owns fabulous quantities of
timber land and operates a number of
lumber mills.
Honse Stands for $1 Rate.
It will be the contention of the House
members that the duty on rough lum
ber must be reduced $1, the rate fixed
by the House in the Payne bill. They
will insist that the House will not
stand for $1.50. and will point to the
fact that It was only by a narrow
margin that the House rejected a free
lumber amendment. When they fur
thermore explain that the majority
against this amendment was only ob
tained by enlisting the support of mem
bers Interested In free hides their ar
gument will be the more convincing.
There is just one ground on which
the Senate may force the House to ac
cept the $1.50 rate, and that Is the de
termined opposition of Southern Sen
ators to a reduction beyond that figure.
If Senators from the big lumber states
of the South threaten to filibuster and
prolong the session In case the confer
ence committee accepts the House rate
on lumber, then the Senate conferees
may be able to persuade the House to

TEHERAN, July 15. Despite efforts of

fighting was in progress throughout the
day between the Persian Cossacks and
the Nationalists around Artillery Bquare
and between the Royalists Bakhtiaris and
the newly arrived Nationalists and revo
lutionary Bakhtiaris. The insurgents
continued in the ascendency, and, as re
inforcements are continually reaching

certain.
Negotiations for Peace.

ly has passed from the hands of the" Shan
into those of General Llakhoff, who again
today tried to stop hostilities. Through
the Russian legation. General Llakhoff

Fighting today centered around the
British legation. A number of Royalist
Bakhtiaris; gaining an entrance to the
city, took up positions on the tops of
houses near the legation and near the
Nationalist camp, which they bombarded
with a heavy rifle fire. The Nationalists
responded, and for several hours thi
British telegraph offices and other for

women, were under Are. During a lull,
the women were- removed to the British
legation.

WHITE PLAINS, N. T., July 15. Eve
lyn Nesblt Thaw went on the stand bsre
today and gave damaging testimony
against her husbanu, Harry K. Thaw.
It was the strongest point scored so far
by the state In its light to keep Thaw in,
ft,.a Asylum for the Criminal Insane at
Matteawan. When today's session was
concluded, an adjournment was taken un
til July 26.
For three days the state has been try
ing to bring out that Thaw threatened
his wife's life on one of her visits to the
asylum. The state wished to show Irra
tionality on Thaw's part. Thaw's at
torney finally tailed to show that the
alleged conversation at Matteawan was
confidential as between husband and wife.
Mrs. Thaw expressed apprehension while
testifying. She was quoted afterwards
as saying that she testified because l

Thaw Threatened to Kill Her.
"Did Harry K. Thaw threaten to Jake
your life?" she was asked by Deputy
Attorney-General Clarke. "Did he at any
time say this to you or this In substance:
'I shall have tp)tlll you when I get
out of here'?"
Evelyn Thaw turned appeallngly to
Justice Mills. She begged to be allowed
not to answer, because she said she knew
she would Incur Thaw's everlasting ani
mosity, and her attitude indicated thet
she believed he might carry out his al
leged threat. She also urged with some
show of feeling that she was still Thaw's
wife, and, no matter how he had treated
her, she did not. want tJ testify against
him. But the court ruled that the only;
possible grounds upon which she could
decline to answer were that It would tend
to incriminate her and he added he did
not see how that would be applicable to
her situation.
Then she said in a low voice:
"Yes, he did."
"What were his exact words?" demand

"He said, "When I get out of here. I
