    TWOARRESTEDFOR
MRS. BEAL"S DEATH
Mrs. Maddux and Frank
Rodman Named.
PRISONERS KEPT SECLUDED
Further Investigation of Killing
to Be Made.
WAGNER DOES FERRETING
Constable and Deputies Hare Been
Working on Case for Weeks and
Circumstantial Evidence Gath
ered Is . Most Convincing.
Mrs. Hazel Maddux, -wife of Police
Patrolman Clifford Maddux, of 87 East
Ninth' trt and Frank E. Rodman, of
1114 East Morrison street, an automobile
liveryman. were arrested and taken to
the County Jail yesterday afternoon .it
the Instance of the grand "jury, charged
with being In the red touring car that
ran down and klUed Mrs. May Real on
the Llnnton road early on the morning
of August 5.
The double arrest came as a climax
to six weeks of ceaseless ferreting on
the part of public detectives. Constable
Wagner and Deputy-Constable Kler
can. Can See No One.
Rodman and Mrs. Maddux are charged
with being In th car that ran down and
killed Mrs. May Real, of 10 East Sixth
street North, the morning of August 6.
Their arrest followed a short investiga
tion by the grand Jury yesterday after
noon. Only five witnesses had been ex
amined when the arrest was made by
Constable Wagner and the pair were
lodged 'In the County Jail under orders
from the grand Jury that they be not
admitted to bail or permission to see
either be given anyone.
Caldwell Their Attorney..
Soon after their Incarceration In the
County Jail, an incident occurred which,
according to the officers, goes a long
way toward explaining the sudden silence
of Mrs. Rudolph Becker, of 874 Savler
street, who professed to Constable Wag
ner, Attorney George Joseph and a news
paper man that she knew who the guilty
parties were. George W. Caldwell, her
attorney, under whose advice she . as
sumed a mask of silence in speaking of
the case, called up County Jailer Hunter
and Informed him he was Mrs. Maddux"
" and Rodman's attorney and asked to
see them. This request was denied. It
was universally agreed this turn in the
case places Caldwell In a bad light.
None of the grand Jurymen would
make a statement of the evidence
against the prisoners, but practically
all of the circumstantial evidence con
cerning Mrs. Maddux' connection with
the case lias been exploited. It is be
lieved, however, the testimony of Miss
Ethel Voos. an Inmate of the Bissner
home, at 74 Savier street, parents of
Mrs. Rudolph Becker, who lives there
and who previously stated she saw
Mrs. Maddux pass the house in an au
tomobile on the night of the tragedy,
together with a fuller statement of the
affair, led to the conclusions reached
by members of the grand jury.
Both Deny Charge.
It was impossible last night, owing
to the orders of the grand Jury, to see
either Mrs. Maddux or Rodman. 1 is
known, however, both deny the charge,
and, unless tueir attitude is changed,
will! fight tho case.
The grand Jury will continue Its In
vestigations today, when every detail of
the evidence already accumulated- hy
Wagner and Joseph will be placed before
it. This, according to these men, will
strengthen the case against them.
Rodman's name has been concerned in
the case for tne past week, but not until
yesterday morning did developments
warrant the direct charge that he occu
pied the car with Mrs. Maddux when
Mrs. Real was struck.
Officers Say Maddux Knew.
Both Wagner and Joseph still main
tain Maddux himself knew of the killing
all the time. They assert evidence has
been found which shows he knew of tn
Intimacy existing between his wife ar.d
Rodman and that he had threatened
bodily injury previous to August 5 to
ward Rodman. The fact, it Is said, that
they were concerned together in the
Linnton road tragedy, led to his failure
to make good his threat, fearing it would
expose his wife.
From J- J- Brasier, night foreman of a
garage at 531 Alder street, where Rod
man kept his car at the time. It was
learned last night "Windy Robinson,
one of Rodman's chauffeurs, took Rod
. man's Pope-Toledo car. a large red ma
chine of the touring car type, into the
garage.
Rodman, It was stated, left the ma
chine at Fifth and Washington streets,
and had Robinson take it to the garage.
It was from this point Mrs. Maddux was
. in the habit of leaving the car on pre
vious rides.
Woman Is fnconcerned.
Rodman was summoned to the grand
Jury room in the District Attorney's of
i lice late yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Mad-
dux and her husband were sitting In the

-"This discussion about who discovered
the Pole has interested me considerably.
I don't know why politics ehould enter
Into the thing, but some times I have
wondered what political belief the two
men they are talking about have. I be
lieve it is safe to say that they are Dem
ocrats. Why? Well. Just because Demo
crats have got so used to being out in the

there. The North Pole conditions are
ideal for them."

and Still In Control.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13. (Special.)
Ex-Judge Robert S. Lovett, chief coun
sel for the Union Pacific Railroad, was
today elected chairman of the executive
committee of the company, thereby be
coming the successor to Edward H. Har
rlnian in the control of the vast railroad
and steamship systems which the finan
cier built up. The Union Pacific still
remains without a president, as Mr.
Harrlman occupied this petition also. It
Is understood, however, that an operat
ing man, probably L F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hurson, will be elect
ed to the place at the annual meeting
of stockholders October 12 Proxies for
this meeting already in the hands of
Judge Lovett and Alexander Millar, "sec
cretary of the Union Pacific, seem to
guarantee that the election will be dic
tated by the Harriman Interests.
Schiff and Rockefeller at Throttle.
At the same meeting where Mr. Lovett
was elected to the chief executive posi
tion of the keystone road of the Harri
man system. William Rockefeller and
Jacob H. Schiff were elected members
of the board of directors of the Union
Pacific and were also appointed members
of the executive committee. Messrs.
Schiff and Rockefeller Succeed Mr. Har
riman and the late Henry H. Rogers as
members of the. board. Mr. Lovett will
be made a member of the board and also
a member of the executive committee.
The only change in the organization from
the form In which Mr. Harriman created
it is the addition of one member, mak
ing a total of six, to the executive com
mittee of the -Union Pacific.
r-The meeting today shows conclusively
several things which Wall street and the
railroad world have been wanting to
know ever since Mr. Harriman's illness
began. It proves, for one thing, that
the Harriman organization is to be per
petuated In Just the form in which it
was created by the master hand. There
Is to be no change in methods, no change
in policy and no change in management.
The eye of the meeting also discloses
the fact that the banking firm of J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co. is not to cut an
important figure in the control of the
Harriman system nor in the management
of the lines composing it. A glance at
the members of the executive committee
as now constituted will show who they
are: Robert S. Lovett, chairman; Henry
C. Frick. Marvin Hughltt, Frank A. Van

HARRIMAN ESTATE
NOT TO BE DIVIDED
RAILROAD HOLDINGS WILL. BE
KEPT IXTACT FOR HEIRS.
Widow Gets Palace at Arden and
House in New York Many
Bequests to Charity. "
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. The will of E.
H. Harriman will be filed this week, ac
cording to Robert S. Lovett. Mr. Lovett
would not discuss the contents of the will,
but said it had been drawn by Charles
A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, and that it was In
his possession.
Among Mr. Harriman's intimate friends
the belief prevailed that the enormous
Harriman railroad holdings are not to be
divided for a long "period and that the
will creates a trust for their administra
tion, the income going to the heirs. It
is also said that, while the railroad nd
commercial Interests will be held intact
through a trusteeship, the will gives to
Mrs. Harriman the magnificent estate at
Arden anf also the town house In Fifth
avenue.
If these surmises are correct, and
they are generally credited in Wall
street, it will mean that the plans for
railroad development which Mr. Harri
man had under way will be fully exe
cuted by the trustees of his estate. It
was commonly accepted that Mr. Har
riman contemplated radical improve
ment in the Erie system, particularly in
the suburban service. The same is said
to be true of other railroads In which
he was interested.
Only a few months before his death
Mr. Harriman proposed to donate 36,000
acres of land in the northern part of New
Jersey to a public park, his plan being
to have the states of New York and
New Jersey contribute equal portions.
Many charitable organizations are also
deply Interested in the contents of the

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 13. The South
California State League was made ft
permanent organization at a mass
meeting of citizens of Los Angeles, in
Symphony Hall today, with George N.
Black as president and Herbert Burdette
and B. A. Stephens as secretaries. '
The meeting was called by the Los
Angeles Realty Board to offer a pro
test against the recent action of tho
State Board of Equalization . in raising
the assessed valuation of the property of
this county.
Many ot those present at the meet
ing today wore badges inscribed "South
California State League."
The wearing of these badges and many
of the speeches made reflected a strong
sentiment in favor of state division, and
this was later crystallized in a set of
resolutions passed by the meeting. The
resolutions declare that the State Board
of Equalization has unjustly raised tax
ation in the 14 counties, and "that the
men guilty of perpetrating this outrage
have added fuel to the flame of sectional
animosity, thereby crystallizing into an
Issue of the first magnitude the ques
tion of state division."

NEW YORK, Sept. 13. With Dr. Cook
homeward bound and Commander Peary
in touch with the correspondents, two
swelling streams of conflicting affirma
tion are centered on a city already boiling
over. Cemment and criticism lack noth
ing of their previous acidity. Previous
assumption that Commander Peary would
have the United States Navy solidly be
hind him was not borne out in a letter
from Rear-Admiral Schley, made public
today by Captain B. S. Osbon, secretary
of the Arctic Club of America, of which
Dr. Cook is a member. The latter, un
der date of September 11, from Pocono
Manor, Pa., says:
Schley Indorses Cook.
"I like Cook's attitude immensely in
this unfortunate, unnecessary and unwlse
controversy. He certainly has been dig
nified and manly in the stand he has
taken."
Captain Osbon followed up his letter
from the Admiral tonight with a discus
sion on "Who Discovered- the North
Pole?"
"Dr. Frederick A. Cook," he said, "was
for two years my wife's physician. I
saw him two or three times a week and
we chatted many hours, ir I have ever
known a man of Integrity, probity, -sincerity
and modesty, it is Dr. Cook.
" Peary Departs From Truth.
"I have known also the other fellow
known him to depart from truth by large
margins."
Dr. Cook's attitude in withholding de
tails of his discovery was attributed to
his desire not to anticipate the publica
tion of his book. 1
"But as soon as the other claimant got
within reach of the wireless," said the
Captain, "he sent dispatches to everybody
he could think of, but delayed informing
the mother of the unfortunate Marvin,
who perished during the expedition."
Honor Cook as Discoverer.
After a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Arctic Club of America to
night, R. O. Stebben, its chairman, gave
the club's attitude on the affair.
"The Arctic Club of America," he said,
has nothing to do with the controversy.
All that the club recognizes Is that Dr.
Cook Is the discoverer of the Pole and
that Peary reached there. Our only de
sire Is to honor the discoverer. Neither
side has- proved its case to America, but
since the Danish government has recog
nized Dr. Cook we feel that the burden
of proof now falls on his opponent.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 13. An autopsy conducted
today, at Arlington Cemetery, on the ex
humed remains of Lieutenant James N.
Sutton forever disposed of certain the
ories to which Mrs. Sutton has clung
from the first, but left in doubt the
mooted question whether or not young
Sutton was rendered unconscious by
blows which he received prior to the time
he was shot.
Powder Marks Lacking.
An Important feature of the autopsy, ac
cording to Mrs. Sutton and her counsel,
was the disclosure that there was no
evidence of burn or powder marks on
the scalp and that the hole male by the
bullet entering Sutton's head was sharp
ly defined and clean cut and caused no
splintering or fracture. This, they main
tain, completely refutes the suicide the
ory, and ehows conclusively that the fatal
shot was not fired by Sutton, but by
some one standing at a distance from his
body. It was found by examining sur- .
geons that none of Sutton's bones were
broken. Mrs. Sutton pinning her faith
to information which came to her anony
mously, maintaining from tho first that
her boy's arm was broken and that there
fore he could not have shot himself.
