Hugh McMahon wa manager for Pat
rick Sullivan's American cafe and bar.
After closing the cafe one night Iat De
cember. McMahon started home. He was
wearing diamonds valued at $15,000 and
carried several hundred dollars In cash.
The following morning the body was
found in McMahon's own yard, with his
Great Dane dog keeping vigil.
An autopsy developed uraemle poison
ing, but the doctors disagreed as to
whether there was enough poison to
cause death. The Seattle police force
accepted the theory that McMahon died
a natural death and refused to continue
an investigation. Patrick Sullivan, how
ever, was not satisfied that there had not
h?en foul play, and besides hiring private
detectives to work on the cae, offered a
reward of $50i0.for the capture and con
viction of the murderers.
Crime Carefully Concealed.
A few days after Sullivan had started
liia force of private detectives on the
case, a tie which had been worn by Mc
Mahon was found In a vacant building
rear bis home. In the same building
was found a gag made from a handker
chief. McMahon ls supposed to have
been strangled to death with the gag.
The work of the robbers was so quick
and smooth that no trace of violence
could be found on the body, and the doc
tors who assisted in the autopsy could
not say whether the man had been stran
gled to death.

Lieutenant Tibaldos threatened to em

At midnight troops Mill occupied the

were strongly guarded and throughout
the night soldiers were passing through

It is officially announced that only two

MR. A.D MIIS. FRANK S. HISCOCK.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29. (Special.) The frequent attempts to get a
husband made by Miss Jeannette Suffern. the W-year-old heiress of
New York and New Jersey, culminated in another remarkable wedding
Friday, when she was united in marriage to Frank S. Hlscock. The
strangest part of the affair Is the fact that her new husband Is a
brother of the "Hostler Bob" Hiscock, whom she married in Rldgwood,
N. J., three weeks ago, only to find out that he already had a wife in
New York! Hiscock, bridegroom, gave his age as 38 and his business as
an englner in New Tork City. Miss Suffern. or rather Mrs. Hiscock, Is
worth about 300,000 and claims she can trace her ancestors back to
the Crusaders. She Is verv fond of her favorite team of bay horses,
with which she and Hiscock toured New York after their wedding.
cup will be started at 9 o'clock in the
morning instead of daybreak, the same
fantastic scenes, which In former years
have made the night before, the race so
picturesque and weird, were enacted
tonight during tl i ho-,i:- preceding the
unleashing of ihi 2t competing cars.
The roads leading to the grandstand
and to the -vantage points along the
course were alive with the whirr of
automobiles. Nearer the course the
machines .numbered thousands. For
many, the one time classic derby, was
made the occasion for a general cele
bration. Increased morbid Interest attaches
to this year's contest, owing to the
fact that the sace must be run over
a circuit which is but 12.64 miles long.
This means that there will be twice
as many turns this year as last when
the course measured 23.46 miles. When
it is considered 'that there will be 2(5
cars running simultaneously Instead of
17. as last year, and that the drivers
are not as experlenoed, some idea of
the danger may be had.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken, however, to rob the course of
one of its chief perils by banking all
of the turps.
Thf. contest Is complicated by bring
ing together four classes of cars run
ning simultaneously for three sets of
distances.
A bond for J 100.000 to protect the
County of Nassau against damage and
loss through the race was tiled by Wil
liam K. Vanderhllt. Jr.
The cars are divided Into four classes,
and are to race all together, but for
three different distances. The smaller
cars entered for the Massapequa sweep
stakes weighed In at 1500 pounds and
over. The cars in this class will be
sent away first at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning, and will be called upon to
make 10 rounds of circuit, or 126.40
miles.
The cars in the Wheatley Hills sweep
stakes will cover 15 laps or 189.60 miles
In all. These cars were called upon to
exceed 1800 pounds in w;elght.
The third squadron, racing for the Van

BAD TO HERD SOCIAL EVIL
Question Is Rather One of Kthlcs,
( Says Writer.
PORTLAND. Oct. 29. (To the Editor.)
As a citizen I want to commend the po
nltion taken by Mayor Simon on the social
evil question. I think he is rifrht emi
nently riffht. It is his duty to stand on
the law and -enforoe it and there his re
sponsibility and duty end.
There is no Justice In herdinff any one
class of people here and there and I do
not belie v3 the practice can be Justified
bv law; or, in my opinion, has any officer
of the law the ripht to decide that this or
that person is undesirable, and to be run,
by flatorder, out of the community. It is
astonishing that such a practice has been
flUKn?ted and even to some extent put into
force. i
The contention also that vice can be "reg
ulated" is to me wholly indefensible. Under
the rule of the Infinite In nature about us
we find "the law" and the consequences
of obedience and of disobedience and th-sre
Is no shifting or shuffling r dallying about
it. Obey and live, or disobey and perish.
Regulation of wrong or vice or crime Is
always and forever a failure. Besides, In
this suggestion of regulation there is the
imp-lied assumption that vice Is a necessary
evil and therefore to be coddled and tol
erated. This view cannot be upheld by
either principle, by common sense, or ex
perience. The Mayor is on good ground
in this matter and I am glad to see that
he Intends to hold It.

CHICAGO. Oct. 29. An invitation,
signed by 50 Chlcagoane. who stand at
the head of the city's commercial, pro
fessional and social endeavors, was sent
today to Charles R. Crane, whose resig
nation as Minister Designate to China
recently caused a sensation. Mr. Crane,
at present in New Tork, to asked to be
the guest of honor at a dinner to be
given at his convenience.
The Invitation goes Into the details of
the recall of the former Minister Desig
nate, upholding his attitude in every re
spect. The Invitation says In part:
"On behalf of a large number of your
fellow citizens, we invite you to be our
guest at a public dinner to be given
In your honor on , such a day as will
suit your convenience.
"We desire in this public manner to
express our appreciation of your char
acter and disinterested public services.
We regard as not the least of these serv-
lvcs your vigorous advocacy of the pro
tection and extension of American com
mercial and political Interests In the
Orient, In full accord with the well
known views of President Taft and with
his epoch-making speech at Shanghai In
IS'0.
"When the President appointed you
Minister to China an honor unsought
and unexpected by yourself you ac
cepted the post at personal sacrifice
and your many friends cordially ap
proved the President's choice. Your in
timate knowledge of China and its peo
ple, the the wide scope of your expe
rience in business matters throughout
the world, and your extensive personal
friendship with many who hold re
sponsible positions In foreign affairs,
contributed to your fitness for the pos
sition. .
"Your unusual discretion, prudence,
wisdom and modesty had been demon
strated to us by an acquaintance ex
tending: over 25 years of an active bus
iness and social life. So far no con
duct of your own has diminished our
confidence In your fitness. ,
"We believed the published circum
stances, trivial In themselves, were un
fairly made use of in an attempt to
humiliate you without adequate cause
and we wish by this means publicly
to protest against such methods, which
cannot fall to have a tendency to dis
courage prominent private citizens
from accepting public office."
