X Boy Cscd as Shield.
. Although over WO men have attempted
to cti;ure the desperado, he has pre
vented tills by brandishing a revolver
over the head of the boy he is using as a
shield.
Haunted by the fear that the officers
would arrest him for what he believes
was the murder of Fleming, the tramp
k.'pt under cover until this morning,
when he called at the Garrett home and
without ceremony walked into the house
and attacked the ready breakfast to sat

The occupants of the house suspected
him as the man who shot Fleming and
attempted to arrest the hobo, but the

keep back, grabbed the little bfrj".,!-1
later drew a gun, and, forcing them to

When attempts were made to rush the

This was the condition up to a late hour
tonight and the would-be assassin holds
the bedroom against all odds. Food is
being passed up to him and the boy
through a stovepipe hole.
Chloroform was used in the coffee, but
the desperado detected the drug and re
fused to drink. He says he will only sur
render to an officer who lives at Astoria,
Or., and whom he knows.
There is great fear that the hobo will
kill the boy and If he does a lynching
will likely follow.
Since the shooting of Fleming Monday
night by an unknown hobo, officers have
been on the lookout for the man. A good
description was furnished by the wounded
officer, who lies in a critical condition at
a Boise hospital. It tallies with the Finn.
Finn Was Famished.
When the Finn walked Into the Garrett
house at an early hour this morning,

officer shot by the Finn, attempted to

they would be killed if they attempted to

"I'll Kill Boy First," He Cries.
"I kill the boy first," shouted the Finn.
While the posse walked through the house
and kept in communication with the cap
tive, various plans were, suggested, but
none adopted for the rescue of the boy.
The Finn was alert and declared repeat
edly he would shoot.
An interpreter was procured and to him
the Finn stated that he had worked at
Astoria. Or., and that he had shot Flem

claimed self-defense. He then ordered
dinner served and had the food passed

Not in IM.stress, Observer Says As-
tor's Friends Are Inclined
to Doubt News.
NEW YORK. Nov. IS. Some assurance
that Colonel John Jacob Astor' yacht
Nourmahal. which has been missing in
West Indian waters for ten days, safely
outrode the recent hurricane was brought
here today by Captain J. Durle, of the
steamer Annetta, which arrived with
fruit from Jamaican ports.
Captain Durle reported that on Sunday,
November 14, he sighted a ship he be
lieved to be the Nourmahal, riding at an
chor in - the reef harbor at Hawks Nest,
San Salvador, the island on which Colum
bus landed in 1492.
Colonel Astor's friends were inclined
to doubt that the yacht seen by Captain
Durle was the Nourmahal, as San Salva
dor is 200 miles north of the region In
which -Colonel Astor planned to cruise.
The fruit steamer passed within three
miles of the yacht a large white steam
vessel, with yellow funnels and about
250 feet long. This description would
answer that of the Astor yacht.
The storm bad lost its hurricane inten
sity on Sunday, .when the fruiter passed
San Salvador, but heavy weather still
prevailed. The yacht showed no signs of
distress and Captain Durie thought It had
put into the shelter before the hurricane
and was waiting more favorable weather.

DRASTIC ACTION LIKELY
Investigation Into TTntimely Execu
tion of Two Americans Results
in Dispatch of Two War
ships South.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Announce
ment that this Government is tired of the
high-handed action of smalj Central
American republics practically was con
tained in a dispatch sent late today to
the Bluefields Steamship Company, which
sought the protection of the State De
partment from Interference by Insurgents
now operating against President Zelaya.
An hour later , a peremptory note,
couched in diplomatic language, but none
the less direct, was delivered to Senor
Felipe Rodrlgues, Charge d Affaires or
the Nicaraguan legation, demanding a
full and complete explanation of the exe
cution of two Americans, Leonard Grace
and Leroy Cannon, killed by order of
Zelaya when they were found in the in
surgent army.
Taft Refuses Representative.
Pending a satisfactory explanation of
the occurrence. President Taft has re
fused to recognize Isidore Hazera, new
Nicaraguan Minister. Mr. Taft Is thor
oughly aroused by actions of the Zelayan
government and apparently is determined
to make the lives of American citizens
much safer and much more respected in
Central America than they have been
hitherto.
The attitude of the Government was
clearly shown in the dispatch to the
Bluefields Steamship, .Company the head
quarters of which. Is hi New Orleans. The
company's steamer was about to set sail
for Bluefields with a miscellaneous cargo
in which were a number of rifles and
other munitions of war.
The corporation was warned by agents
of the Nicaraguan insurrectionary forces
that the vessel would be liable to seizure
and the steamship people promptly
called on the State Department to declare
the protection of this Government in such
cases. The State Department rpplied
promptly. The answer was the result
of a conference between President Taft
and Secretary of State Knox and carried
full weight.
No Parallel In History.
It gave the steamship concern no en
couragement and practically recognized
the revolutionary forces operating against
the Zelaya administration, a proceeding
for which there probably is no parallel
in the records of this Government.
The dispatch to the steamship company
at New Orleans was signed "Knox, Secre
tary of State," and read:
"If .the announced blockade or invest
ment of the Nicaraguan port of San Juan
del Norte (Greytown) is effectively main
tained, and the requirements of interna
tional law, Including warning to approach

GOBBLER WAR IS RAGING
Roseburg Turkeys, CIamored For,
Jump Up to 2 1 Gents.
ROSEBTJRG, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.)
The Thanksgiving turkey market is hav
ing one of the liveliest shake-ups this
season that it ever had in the local mar
kets. The trouble was caused by many
buyers from Portland, Seattle and San
Francisco trying to secure carload .lots.
Some of them had made arrangements
with local dealers to purchase birds for
19 cents, i. o. b. at Roseburg, and others,
seeing orders slipping away from them
began to offer more money. Now the
local market price for dressed birds is 21
cents.
There will be ajarger output of turkeys
from Roseburg this year than ever before,
but the Oakland output will be smaller.
The birds are in fine condition this sea
son, and their average weight a bird will
run highor than last year. The squabble
among buyers will net the farmers about
3 cents more than they would have re
ceived had the local market been left
alone. Outside buyers were so anxious to
get the birds that they caused the local
merchants to begin bucking each other.
This pushed the price up to 21 cents.

lieved that Mr. Carlisle may not recover.
Mr. Carlisle has been suffering from
Intestinal trouble of a serious nature,
which accounts for the belief that he will

TAFT KNOWS HIS POWER
Would Hesitate to Make Dangerous
Enemy, Whom He Has Indorsed
Before Public Pinchot
Has Unwise Friends.
BT J. TT. BROWN.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 18. "If Gifford Pinchot is
forced to retire from the Forest Service
he will be a constant torment to the Taft
Administration to Its very end," said a
partisan of the Chief Forester, anent the
pending conservation controversy. "Presi
dent Taft could not make a more serious
political blunder than to retire this great
official. It would mean his own defeat at
the end of his present term, and It might
mean the elevation of Mr. Pinchot to the
Presidential office."
This Is a rather extreme view of the
situation, and none but a fool friend of
the Forester would advance such a
theory. Nevertheless, this frank utter
ance it, to a great degree, expressive of
the sentiment prevalent among Mr.
Pinchot's admirers. It is true, not many
of them are looking forward to his suc
cession to the Presidency at least they
do not confess to harboring such
thoughts, but they do believe, to a man,
that Mr. Pinchot, If removed from office,
would work the downfall of Mr. Taft and
prevent his re-election.
Would Be Free to Fight Taft.
And this is .the way they figure it out:
Mr. Pinchot is a man of great wealth
worth millions. He Is a man with a
hobby. He does not need to work for a
l.vlng. He can devote his entire time and
his whole fortune to the development of
that hobby, and doubtless he would do it,
if forced out into the cold. As a private
citizen, turned out of office by Mr. Taft,
Mr. Pinchot would be under no restraint
whatever; he could make any criticisms
of the Administration that he might deem
proper or Justified, and his prominence
before the country and his reputation for
honeBty would give weight to what he
might say.
If the President, in the hope of termin
ating the disturbance In his Administra
tion, should dispense with the services of
his forester, Mr. Pinchot, according to
his friends, would immediately be made
the head of the new Conservation Com
mission, of which President Eliot, late
of Harvard, Is now the leading light.
Once in that position, he would proceed
to square himself before the country, and
in doing so would be compelled to assail
the Taft Administration. Mr. Pinchot is
a fighter a hard fighter, and, like Theo
dore Roosevelt, he is a good hater. Once
he believes a man has done him injus
tice, he will pursue that man to great
lengths. So he would unquestionably pur
sue Mr. Taft and Secretary Ballinger,
should he' himself be removed. from office.
In making such a campaign Mr. Pin
chot would spend liberally, and he would

Mme. Steinhell's Object Is to Get
Money; That of Promoters to
Help Reform Cause.
PARIS, Nov. 18. (Special.) American
lecture bureau chiefs are said to be
searching the suburbs of Paris for Mme.
Steinheil. in the hope of securing her for
the stage, but so far she has not an
nounced her plans.
It is understood Mme. Steinheil is
considering a French offer for a series of
lectures on the Jury system in this coun
try. ' If suitable terms can be arranged,
lectures will be given both in France
and the- United States.
Though the substance of the discourses
would be prepared largely by able men on
this side of the Atlantic, Mme. Steinheil
is clever enough to handle them before an
audience. Her appearance in America
will be chiefly to satisfy curiosity and
provide her with funds, which she greatly
needs.
She would appear here under the
auspices of a society which has been
prodding the Department of Justice for
years to bring about a reform along cer
tain lines relating to the Judiciary. The
Minister of Justice himself acknowledges
that this reform can wait no longer.
The organizers of the movement believe
if they can enlist public attention through
addresses by Mme. Steinheil they will
carry their project to a successful ter
mination. BABY CAUSE OF SUICIDE
Professor Loses Love of Life When
Infant Is Born.
CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov. 18. Aversion
to babies and domestic life is ascribed as
the cause for the suicide today of Pro
fessor Wilfred C. Wheeler, of the Uni
versity of Illinois. The chemist's body
was found on the university campus. He
had taken a large quantity of cyanide
of potassium.
It was said tonight that Wheeler had
taken his meals away from home since a
baby came Into the household. He could
not endure the noise ,of the Infant, he
said, and expressed a great dislike for
babies. A note left by the professor
directed his wife how to collect his life
insurance and referred to his premedl
dated death as follows:
"I am tired of living ; so good-bye.
There Is no use trying to find out what
happened to me as 3M G (grains) of KCN
(potassium cyanide) are responsible for
my fate."
Professor Wheeler was 30 years old and
was liked by his colleagues.

the appointment of a receiver.
Wi S. King, of Memphis. Tenn., and 11
other stockholders from various portions

BOSTON. Nov. 18. An order of ex
communication against Mrs. Augusta
K. Stetson, of New Tork, for years re
garded as one of the most prominent
and powerful members of the Christian
Science denomination, was issued today
by the board of directors of the mother
church of this city, supreme authority
of the organization.
In their order the directors stated
that a conference of more than three
days had convinced them of the truth
of charges against Mrs. Stetson, name
ly, that she had worked against the in
terests of the church and of members
of the church who were not her follow
ers, and that she had persisted in teach
ings and practices contrary to Christian
Science.
Measure Most Drastic.
Excommunication is rarely resorted
to In the Christian Science Church,
and. In view of Mrs. Stetson's promi
nence, today's action was regarded as
most drastic.
Mrs. Stetson formerly was first
reader of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, of New Tork City, and until
her suspension today, was pastor
emeritus of that church at a salary of
$5000 a year. In answer to a summons
by the board of directors, Mrs. Stetson

at the Mother Church.
