Who Go to Deschutes Can yon to Make Arrest Delayed by Accident to Auto. SHANIKO. Or.. Sept. 13. (Special.) Reports from the scene of rioting at Baker & Randall's camp on the Oregon Trunk Line, In the Deschutes Canyon. Sunday everting, are that one Italian named Solvotort . was shot through the heart and killed instantly, while another received two bullet wounds which may prove fatal. Probably a dozen others were more or less injured, receiving knife, rock and teeth wounds. The dead man and the one seriously Injured were peacemakers. Two young men, sons of the injured man, are said to have been the Instigates of the trouble, and are held at the camp of George Randall, pending tho arrival of officers from The Dalles. The man who did the shooting made his escape. It Is thought that fellow countrymen are keeping him In hiding. There are about 100 Italians In George Randall's camp and a like number In the camp of Baker and Randall. About six weeks ago the two gangs had trouble, but without fatalities. Bad blood nas existed between these factions for a long time, but outside of the foreigners no one seems to know the foundation of the trouble. Deputy Sheriffs Allen and Kelly and Coroner Burkett, of The Dalles, accom panied by Policeman Doyle, of this city, left here last night In an automobile for the scene of the riot, but had not arrived there at noon today on account of the breaking of the steering gear of their machine, at a point near T. C. Hanford's camp several miles away. The dead Italian's brother, Cirillo Solvotorl, at the mining town of Blwablck, Minn., has been notified of the tragedy. LUCIUS TUTTLE RESIGNS Charles S.

Railroad Man Quotes With Approval Sentiment That Capital Is Ab surdly Foolish In Doubting Vltlmate Kesnlt. 'ST. PAUL. Sept. 13. (Special.) James J. Hill thinks the Nstional Con hlch was In ses sion here last week, overlooked one of the most Important things to oe con served namely, common sense. In sn Interview today, in which he discussed business conditions, he told how busi ness is suffering because of fears which manv men have, and said that this lack f mnfliiimi "a senseless lack," he called It Is entirely unwarranted. "Wkr Isn't there eonfldence In the fu ture of business in this countryf lis asked, and then answered: "There's no rpii reason. This Is the way or it: Some man. somewhere, has grown timid over aomethlnar or other and has cried boo," at his neighbor. His neighbor probably jumped, and the next reuow took fright without knowing why he was frightened. And so on. Men Ilesemble Sheep. "It's Just like a flock of sheep. If on starts to ran every sheep In that flock" runs, even if they die for It. "I can see no reason for the fears that seem to possess our business men. I have preached a 'return-to-the-rarm policy for years, and expect to continue to do so. But that's no reason for fear on the Dart of business. Men . every where ought to take the advice that is given In an article which I have Just seen In the September North American Review. That deals with the conser vation of common sense, and gives good Illustration of business conditions in the United States now: and It gives. also, as the panacea for this business paralysis the suggestion that ordinary common sense be applied. "Money and business are, of course, very careful, and it Is right they should be, but not to the extent of cutting off their own noses to spite their faces. especially when It Is so unnecessary, and they need the noses, too." Mr. Hill picked up the magasine to which lie had referred, opend it to page tbe corner of which he had turned down, and said: "Here Is an extract which, to my mind, bears down hard strikes right at the core of our present 111." Capital Requires Stability. Then he read, with frequent empha sis: In the disestablishment of credit we find the most obvious cause of the pre vailing depression. The link that con nects labor with capital Is not broken, but ws may not deny that it Is less co hesive than It should be, or than con ditions warrant. Financially the coun try is stronger than ever before In its history. Recovery from a. panic so se vere as that of three years ago was never before so prompt, and compara tlrely complete. The masses are prac tically free from debt. Money la held by the banks In abundance and rates are low. Then why does capital panse on the threhold of investment? The an swer we believe to be plain. It awaits adjustment of the relat'ons of govern ment to business. Such, at any rate. Is the belief, and pressure Is constantly brought to bear upon executives and courts to make haste haste which, in our Judgment, would result in less speed. Great complications growing out of mightily changed conditions call for the most serious consideration. To settle a grave question offhand is only to Invite disaster. Better not settle It at all until a reasonable certainty can be felt that It can be settled right. Stability is ever capital s primary re qulrement. But the adjustment which It now demands cannot be effected in a month, or a year, and never can or should be complete. The elasticity Is the prime requls'te of changes essential to development. Reason Begins to Prevail. "But capital is notoriously timid. In the present instance, too, it is absurdly foolish. No decision of any court can permanently impair any so-called vest ed interest. Confiscation is undreamed of as compared with only a few years ago. The disintegration of properties does not Involve their destruction Moreover, the sharp revolt against all combinations those that achieve great good no less than these that work in- Jury Is clearly yielding to study and reason. No sane person now maintains that business especially manufactur ingcan or should be done as It was done half a century ago. I., a broad sense the day of the Individual com petitor is passed, but the opportunity of the individual remains even wider within the corporation. The sole prob lem consists of determining how gov ernment can maintain an even balance between aggregations of interests on the one hand and the whole people on the other, protecting the latter against extortion and saving the former from assaults. "The solution is not easy to find, for the simple reason that the situation is without precedent. But is not progress being made along sane and caotlous lines? Surely no menace to property or to human rights lies In the striving for such a solution. Both will be safe guarded by its certain finding." Mr. Hill said he was trying to con serve his common sense In these 'try ing times; that he wasn't going to Jump with fright because a neighbor said "boo."
