Republic-ana from the four corners
Df Oregon, every man of them intent
n advancing the Interests of the party,
will gather this morning at the Ar
mory for the state assembly. Un
precedented, almost unexpected by
taunchest adherents of the cause, was
the response yesterday from through
out the state to the assembly call.
Every Incoming train was freighted
with delegates. And the enthusiasm
of these delegates as they came and
their unshaken loyalty to the party
foretold that a new era of Republican
tuccess is at hand in Oregon.
No fewer than 1100 delegates were
in the city by nightfall. Further than
that reports had been received at
headquarters of the State Central Com
mittee accounting for every county in
the state excepting Curry, which is
entitled to' five representatives.
No Pledges Made.
"We are here unpledged except for
. fair and open assembly." That sen
timent was dominant everywhere
among the delegations last night, as
they thronged the hotel lobbies and
discussed the political situation and
party principles. It . is only (Suman
nature that some should come predis
posed In favor of some townsman or
friend whose name is to come before
the assembly. But of pledges there
were none.
Interest as' to what man will be se
lected to head the state ticket reached
an acute stage during the day. The
Question overshadowed all others, for
Uie success of party must depend in
no small measure upon the standard
bearer. Discussion revolved for the
most part about two men, Dr. Andrew
C. Smith, of Portland, and Acting Gov
ernor Jay Bowerman. of Condon. Late
In the day a decided sentiment mani
fested itself for Dr. James Withy
combe. of Corvallls.
The personal announcement of Dr.
Smith that he will , go before the as
sembly and that he Is a firm advocate
Df assembly principles, was all that
was-needed to lend decisive impetus to
the sentiment for his selection. Dele
gates from many quarters were urging
his recommendation. Headquarters
were opened by his advocates in the
Imperial Hotel "and an active canvass
In his behalf was made during the
day.
Mr. Bowerman continued his .canvass,
and met as many of the delegates as
possible at his headquarters in the
Imperial Hotel. His supporters last
night reported the outlook as sat's
factory. Dr. Withycombe's name developed
strength as the Willamette Valley and
Southern Oregon delegations began ar
riving. While the names of Dr. Smith
and Mr. Bowerman were uppermost at
a late hour, yet Dr. Withycombe's sup
"porters were more hopeful and it was
conceded that Importance attached
itself to his candidacy.
Otliers Still Hope.
Other aspirants for the recommenda
tion as Governor were left in the back
ground by the widely-developed senti
ment for Dr. Smith and Mr. Bower
man. Yet the others were not without
hope. The possibility of a series of
close ballots between the two leading
men encouraged friends of other candi
dates to patiently await developments.

Madriz Faction Ugly.
"WASHINGTON, July 20. Fear exists
that Edwin F. Trimmer, United States'
Consul at Cape Gracias, Nic., may be
assaulted or possibly even assassinated,
and it has been decided to send the
cruiser Tacoma to that port to investi
gate. If conditions demand it, marines
will be landed to protect American
lives and property.
This was the report made to tha
State Department today by Thomas P.
Moffatt, United States Consul at Blue
fields. Two officers and 45 men were
ordered to Cape Gracias on the Tacoma,
he says, after a conference between
himself and Commander Hines,. of the
Dubuque. The Tacoma probably has
reached the scene of trouble by this
time.
An article in La Naccion, an official
Madrl. organ published at Managua,
indicates the feeling in Nicaragua
against Americans. In part It reads
as follows:
"We Nlcaraguans have some limited
means to which we may resort as a
final recourse if it comes to the point
that the Yankee tries to carry out his
threat. Let us lay hands on all the
North Americans' residing in Nicaragua
and let us say to Mr. Taft, 'For each
shot you hurl against us, a head of
one of your countrymen shall roll on
the ground.'
"Another of the means to which we
may resort in revenge for so great an
Injury and for this I do not believe
we are less able than the Young Turks
let us organize In the form of a pow
erful coalition, to -the end that in all
the Latin-American countries no goods
shall be purchased from the United
Slates; making our people understand
that this is the most efficacious method
of combating the common enemy of our
race, so proud on account of its power,
o insolent on account of its pride
and so detestable on account of its in
solence." SHARK CAUGHT IN FISH NET
Henry Crane Has Exciting Time
Landing Blue-Nose Monster.
ABERDEEN, Wash., July 20. (Spe
cial.) Catching a huge blue nose
shark, the first ever known to have
been captured in the inner bay of
Gray's Harbor, Henry Crane, a fisher
man, 1100. East First street, had an
exciting time Monday night when he
pulled in the net for his ..ay's catch.
The shark measured nine feet and
weighed about 150 pounds. When
caught in the meshes of the net it
made a desperate struggle for free
dom, but was silenced when Crane
whipped out his knife and -ut off its
tail, thus rendering the huge fish help
less. The tail was brought to the Wish
kah market, where it is on display
with a baby shark which was caught
by Crane after the struggle with its
mother. It is told by fishermen that
the young sharks when in danger will
seek refuge in their mother's mouth.
The baby Ghark when caught had just
left its hiding place and was captured
without difficulty.
The blue nose shark is said to attain
a length of 35 feet.

ALBANY. Or., July 20. (Special.)
Three men were burned to death last
night in a forest fire along the North
Santiam River, opposite hoover s saw
mill, at the terminus of the Corvallls
& Eastern Railway, four miles east of
Detroit. The bodies were not recov
ered until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
The dead men are Philip Richmond, of
Salem, Or.; Jay M. Brooks, of Craw
fordsville. Or., and Frank McGoey, of
Clearfield, Pa.
Acting against the advice of their
foreman, the men went to death in an
effort to get their tools. Fire had
started from the sparks of a donkey
engine at Hoover at S o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The three men, with
other workmen, had gone to the camp.
An hour later, after a vain effort to
save the camp outfit from tue flames,
these three men started to go to a point
400 yards up a steep hillside to get
their tools where they had left them
when the fire started. The wind was
then blowing eastward, sending the fire
that way, so the trip up the south hill
side west of the fire looked safe. The
men had about reached their tools when
the wind suddenly changed, sweeping
the fire with wonderful rapidity di
rectly up the timber-covered hill where
the men were. In a few minutes the
flames had swept the entire face of
the hill, turning the forest into a fur

Falling burning trees made it impos

noon today. A rescue party then went
up, hoping against belief that the men
had reached the summit and had es

found, however, and burned badly, but
not beyond recognition. Two bodies
were found together, one 100 yards fur

dently tried to run ahead of the fire,
but had no chance, in a race up an al
most perpendicular hill, with the swift

The fire destroyed the entire logging

POWDER BURNS ARE FOUND
Mrs. Rawn Insists Noise Awakened
Husband, Who, as He Descended
- Stairs Was Shot by Burglar.
Rawn Dreaded Inquiry.
CHICAGO, July 20. Ira G. Rawn, pres
ident of tho Chicago, Indianapolis &
Louisville Railroad (The Monon Route),
died of e, bullet wound at his Summer
residence in Winnetka, 15 miles north of
Chicago, early today.
Members of Mr. Rawn's family say he
was killed by a burglar. The police are
working on a theory that Mr. Rawn
killed himself. As a basis for their
suicide theory the police point to the fact
that Mr. Rawn was operating vice-president
of the Illinois Central Railroad at
the time fraudulent car repair contracts
were put through and that recently he
has been drawn into the Illinois Central
graft investigation as a chief witness.
They say the action of Mr. Rawn's
relatives in refusing the aid of the Chi
cago detective department to search for
the alleged murderer is suspicious. They
declare there exists a lack of convincing
evidence that an intruder had actually
been in the Rawn residence.
Widow Says Burglar Killed.
Mrs. Rawn, the widow; R. G. Coburn,
his son-in-law; Mrs. Coburn and two
children and three maids were In the
house when the tragedy occurred. Mrs.
Rawn says her husband was" aroused
from sleep at 1:30 o'clock in the morning
by a noise on the first floor of the resi
dence. She says Mr. Rawn picked up
a revolver, started down stairs and was
shot while on a landing half way down.
Both Mrs. Rawn and Coburn say two
shots were fired. A minute search of
the front hall and adjoining rooms of the
residence, however, show but one bullet,
that fired from Mr. Rawn's revolver, and
which, apparently, had passed through
Mr. Rawn's body Just below the heart.
Facts Don't Confirm Story.
The detectives base their belief in the
suicide theory on the fact that the night
clothing and body were burned, showing
that the revolver must have been held
close. It has been asserted by the fam
ily that a burglar was in the doorway
when the shooting took place.
The members of the family, although
asserting that the door was forced open
with a jimmy, have all day refused to
permit inspection of the marks made
by the alleged instrument.
It is also stated by the family that

TITLE TO WOMAN
HELD IN DISPUTE
HUSBAND SELLS , YET SING, WHO
TAKES FLIGHT,
Sacramento Judgb Commits Her to
Jail While Buyers Settle
Among Themselves.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. July 20. (Spe
cial.) Held in escrow in the Sacra
mento City Jail is Tet Sing, a Chinese
woman, who will be a prisoner until
it is decided whether she owns fee
simple to her own person or whether
the title should be vested in Ah Sing
and Ah Wo, who bought her from her
husband for $1000 and thereby claim
controlling equity in her.
She was sold several months ago by
her husband in New Tork City, but
fled to Sacramento. Ah Sing and Ah
Wo are Chinese residents of San Fran
cisco. They came to Sacramento yes
terday to lay claim to the woman they
had. bought. Yet Sing offered to pay
S300 in cash for a kind ol quit claim
deed to herself, but the buyers de
manded her person or the entire sum
of 1000. They began to thnaten vio
lence when they met further opposi
tion to the execution of the agreement.
As- soon as they left, the mother of
the young woman appealed to City
Justice Anderson, an old friend, - for
protection. Anderson had her placed
in a cell at the City Jail. She will be
kept until efforts to obtain possession
of her are abandoned.
NOVELIST'S SON DIVORCED
Mrs. Catlin Abandoned When Moth
er of Young Babe, She Says.
RENO, Nev., July 20. (Special.) "When
I was mother of only a three-weeks'' old
babe and I was not able to care for my
self or leave the house, my husband
cruelly left our home In East Orange,
N. J., and deserted me right then, and
he has never lived with me or given me
a single cent for the support of myself
or our two little girls.'."
Thus began the pitiful testimony of
Mrs. Marion B. Catlin today in ' Judge
Pike's court, in support of her suit for
divorce . against George L. Catlin, son
of the late George S. Catlin, famous poet,
novelist and journalist of Staten Island,
who died 14 years ago in the family
home. She told a story of marriage at
the early age of 16 years, on November
20, 1900, Jersey City, and of his deser

East Orange. She said that since then
she has baen supported by her parents
in Brooklyn. '
Catlin was then connected with the Na
tional Surety Company, of New Tork.
She was formerly Miss Marlon Briggs
and was married against the wishes of
her sister. Miss Ethel Briggs, and her
parents. W. L. Catlin, a brother of the
husband, also condoned the unhappy end
ing of the marriage in which her hus
band had neglected her. She received a
decree and the oustody of the two chil

Carriers Volunteer -to Suspend In
crease Until November I.
WASHINGTON. July 20. Important
advances In freight rates recently made
by the railways in Eastern classifica
tion territory will be suspended volun
tarily by the railroads until November
1 next. This agreement was made by
a committee representing the carriers
and by Chairman Knapp, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
It is not unlikely that a similar ar
rangement may be made between the
Commission and the carriers in the
Western Trunk Line Association terri
tory. Such an agreement, it is be
lieved, will be reached before the end
of the present week. The carriers have
taken this attitude in order to facili
tate the work of the Commission and
to Insure speedy consideration of the
tariffs to be suspended. It is the pur
pose of the Commission to take up for
hearing the proposed advances as early
as possible in order that the matters at
Issue may be determined, if circum
stances permit, prior to November 1.

LITTLE BOY ADDS TO MYSTERY
Woman Denies Rigdon's Gifts
Exceeded $1000.
LAWYERS ARE EMPLOYED
Woman of Mystery Was Once Wife of
New York Politician Rigdon
Caused Many Sensational
Scenes at National Capital, J
CHICAGO, July 20. (Special.) Mrs.
Amie Young, woman of mystery in the
tragedy in which Charles W. Rigdon
killed himself after shooting her, has
property worth J200.000. and Mrs. Annie
Rigdon, widow of the dead man. will lay
claim to it In the courts, according to
the latest developments in the case.
Mrs. Rigdon will allege, it is said, that
Mrs. Toung stripped Rigdon of this
wealth by "undue influence."
Mrs. Young, it is said, will deny that
Rigdon gave her his fortune, and will
swear that altogether he gave her less
than J1000. The 2000 shares of stock which
was the burden of one of the letters of
Mrs. Young to Rigdon. and as a result of
which the tragedy was enacted, proved to
be that many shares of Nevada Hills
mining stock, worth J1000, which he of
fered for sale and which she bought.
Telphone Talk Is Overheard.
Harry Hedrick, the broker, made this
statement today and added that this was '
the only transaction the woman ever had
with the firm. He took occasion also to
deny that he met Mrs. Young in Reno,
Nev., and that he looked after her mining
L Interests there.
Counsel for Mrs. Young . has devoted
much attention to planning a defense
against the proposed litigation of Mrs. .
Rigdon to get possession of the property
the wounded woman has in her name.
Meantime, John C. Felzer. in whose office
the tragedy took place, has retained
counsel to look after his interests. .
A telephone conversation between
Mr. Felzer and Mrs. Rigdon's attorney
was overheard In which the attorney
reprimanded him for making the pri
vate correspondence of Rigdon public
Felzer Puts Blame on Attorney.
"I turned Rigdon's letters from Mrs.
Young over to the police to protect
myself," Mr. Felzer informed the at
torney. "If you have no interest in the case
or no knowledge of it other than you
have alrea-ly made public, why should
you turn over the letters?" asked' Mr.
Lewis.
"I acted upon the advice of my at
torney," answered Mr. Felzer.
Mrs. Young was formerly the wife
of Alexander Young, a well-known New
York Democratic politician and crim
inal lawyer. Alexander Young, after
being divorced by the niece of Ward
McAllister," in 1903, was married to a
Miss Almie Tronnem, which Is the
English method of spelling the Nor
wegian name of Tronjman, ' Mrs.
Young's maiden name. He and his
wife-were estranged years ago.
. Boy Adds to Mystery.
Another element which has entered into
the case is that centering around the
picture of a golden-haired boy which
was found In the effects of th dead
man, and, which, according to infor
mation In the hands of the police, was
at one time in the possession of Mrs.
Young and lovingly treasured by her. .
The identity of this boy is still a mys
tery. Dispatches from Washington tonight
say that Rigdon and Mrs. Young were
well-known there. She maintained an
elegant home which K gdon frequently
visited. He drank to excess and
caused many sensational scenes. Upon
one occasion he broke all the lower
windows in the house because the bell
was not answered promptly, and again
shot a. negro, he charged with insult
ing his woman companion. ' He lost
heavily In his Washington speculation,
and eventually went to New York.
After the window-breaking episode,
Mrs. Young abandoned her Iiouse and
went to Virginia.
