ment and the "Jack-t he-Ripper" series
of crime'. Isaac Futterman. 80 years
oft and his wife. Rachel, 72 years old,
were found dead In their rooms, their
bodies mutilated.
The police believe the aged couple,
were torturrd to death and In the ab
sence of any well-estaMished motive
for such a crime, think the Futter
mans were victims of a religloua ma
niac. Victims Well-tuI)o.
Futterman was a retired manufac
turer, who had accumulated a small
fortune, but alwavs had refused to
leave the Hast Side neighborhood,
where he had settled when he cams
from Russia many years ago. He was
a sealous Jewish worker and aided

deep gushes across both faces and
bodies, and the eyes of both were mu
tilated, on of the man's bavins been
torn from Its socket.
The man's abdomen was slashed
snd there were cuts running from
head to foot. The nature of the muti
lation led tha police to believe that It

caused by blows which fractured tha
skulls.

SECRETARY OF NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE, WHICH
MEETS TODAY.
CRET nOODSOV.
TWO HOLD PARLEY
Third Party Talk Follows
Bryan-La Follette 'Confab.'
MEETING IS ACCIDENTAL
Peerless Leadrr nd Wisconsin Sen
ator Say They Talked Merely
About Direct Election Chi
cago Seeks Convention.
(Cjntlnu.d From first P-
Inder. Proitress was slow because of
tha general desire to consult Mr.
Bryan, and his arrival, scheduled for 4
o'clock, was awaited with Impatience.
Wreck Delays Trata.
His train, blockaded by a wreck, was
two hours late. Many prominent Dm
ocratlo leadera we- at tha station.
After handshakings all around, Mr.
Bryan and Senator I -a Folletta seemed
to sight ech other about the same
im. Thv rushed toward each other
and shook bands and then lost no time I
in withdrawing a short distance rrom
tha crowd. They sat down on a bench
and conversed with vldent earnestness
for several minutes.
"What's being doner' was tha ques
tion waiting Democrats seemed to ba
asking; each other, as they watched.
Some consternation was apparent.
Soma Skepticism Reasalna.
When Mr. Bryan and tha Senator
parted, tnere was another show of good
feeling. Mr. Bryan then explained that
senator La Folletta and ha had talked
about the resolution pending in Con
gress providing for the election of Sen
atoia by popular vote. Senator La Fol-l.-lte
then gave, tha same) explanation
by telephone, but In the minds of soma
tuera remained a little skepticism.
It was reported that Senator La Fol
ltt had gone to th station to meet
Mr. Bryan, but the Senator said tha
meeting was purely accidental, result
ing from the fact that their trains hap
PMied tu Bet In at the same I lime.
"We only talked about tha direct
election resolution." said tha Senator.
"We both are interested deeply In the
subject and Colomd Bryan agrees with
nia that tha resolution snould be
passed."
Colonel Bryan drove from the station
to the homo of Cotter T. Bride, his clos
est friend tn Washington. He declined
to talk about any problem tha commit
tee will bava to solve. It Is evident ba
wanted to get hia bearings before
Plunging into what promises to ba a
stirring gathering.
After removing travel staina. Colonel
liryan drove to the hotel apartment of
Norman K. Mack, chairman of tha N
tional committee, and dlned with him.
Peerless Leader aesloae4.
At the hotel Mr. Bryan was met by
a large number of newspspermen. Ha
was ssked questions In every concelv
stle form, but would not discuss can
didates, contests. Presidential pri
maries or any of the matters pending
before the committee, lie had no com
ment to make on a letter written years'
ao by Woodrow Wllsn to a mend
Inquiring whether there was not some
dignified way of getting rid of this
man Bryan for all time, farther than
to s.y it oucbt to make friends for
him (Governor Wilson) for those who
are most Interested In it.
W. F. McCombs. manager of the
Woodrow Wilson headquarters, charged
tonight that the report of friction be
tween Wilson and Bryan was Inspired
in Wall street, snd that other stories
of the same kind might be expected
from that source. He tiid not deny the
existence of the alleged letter, how
ever. Hsrasslm Are Seared.
Something fully aa sensational as
any Wilson letters or Mr. Bryan's at
titude occurred to send a chill down
the spines of the Harmonites. Pol
Iticiana are raking the wastebas"kets of
the dim and dusky past right now t
bring forth letters that may compro
mise leading candidates now In the
Presidential race.
Harmon s turn to feel the regret of
letter-writing folly, granting that the
Wilson forces ba perturbed over the
ancient Brysn animadversion, cams
with arrival of National Committee
man Harvey C. Oarber, of Ohio, Mr.
Garber brought an autograph letter
written by Governor Harmon away
back in UTS on tbe letterhead of the
then "People's party." on which hia
name appeared aa secretary.
Tbs letter was written to friend
In the northern part of the fta'.e and,
after detailing plans for supplying
stickera to place over the namu of the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
William Allen, an uncla of the late
Allen G. Thurman, and know as "Ris
ing Sun" Allen, suggested a movement
to wipe out the Democratic party and
form a new political organisation.
. Letter la Withheld.
Mr. Garber refused late tonight to
give up the letter for publication, but
It was shown to some of the National
leadera during the day and they ex
pressed tha opinion that It would em
barrass If not render Impossible the
Ohio Governor's candidacy for the
Presidency this year. The significant
feature of this comment is that some
of It came from men who have been
listed as Harmon supporters.
It Is believed the bit of ancient his
tory Involved will be given full pub
licity before the present gathering of
Democratic leaders Is ended and that
It will form one of the greatest polit
ical sensations of the day. Truly, tha
Democratic scheme of harmony Is de
veloping a collection of axes and a
determination to swing them that has
not been paralleled since the party was
split asunder on the free silver Issue.
It begins to look as though every
possibility In the race has some kind
of psst that he might like to forget
under present conditions and that the
best the party may be able to do is to
amend the Constitution and pick a
leader about the age of the Emperor
of China, who has not arrived at a
letter-writing age.
Chicago Eaters Race.
Chicago entered the arena this morn
ing. Denver threw its forces Into ac
tion a few hours later and all the rest
of the day and the night the four
cornered contest, five-cornered If New
Tork Is counted In, over the location
of tha Democratic National convention
has been raging fiercely.
There will be gathered here tomor
row nearly every man who has been
mentioned for the Democratic nomina
tion or at least all active and recep
tive candidates will be represented. In
person there will be Woodrow Wilson,
of New Jersey; Governor Foss, of Mas
sachusetts; Speaker Champ Clark and
ex-Governor Fallt, of Missouri; Gov
ernor Dlx. of New York; Senator Kern,
of Indiana, who Is supposed to be the
representative of Governor Marshall,
but who is regarded by many as being
a dark horse probability, and Senator
Newlands. of Nevada, who has a "pro
gressive" platform.
Urey Woodson, of Kentucky, secre
tary of the National committee, said to
day he believed there sii little senti
ment for chsnglng the manner ot nom
inating candidates.
"For more than a hundred years,"
said Mr. Woodson, "in fact, ever sines
wa have had a Democratic party, every
candidate has secured a two-thirds
vote of the convention, and I cannot
see why the Democratic party ahould
make a change at thta time."

cult of which "Rev." Ottoman Zar
Adusht Hanlsh is ths high priest, prob
ably will ba taken In charge by tha
Juvenile Protective Association, ac
cording to Mrs. Gertrude Howe Brit
ton. "Although our investigators may
have learned but little that Is definite
concerning the secrets of the cult,"
said Mrs. Brltton today, "our suspicions
are aroused and we believe the 'Sun
Temple' Is no place ror boys to stay.
Oit future course depends largely on
what Judge Mcrrltt W. Plnkey decides
In the case of William Lindsay, the
12-year-old boy who was taken from
tbe bun worshippers and then disap
peared. If the Judge decides that the
'Sun Temple' Is no place for tba Lind
say boy, then it Is certainly not a de
sirable residence for the other boys
wno are employed there."
Carlos D. Hespe. a high dignitary in
the Mazuaxnan cult, who was cited
to appear in Judge Plnkey'a court and
who disappeared, has not been found.
Wlllard M. McEwen. attorney for tha
uncles of William Lindsay, In their ef
fort to gain the custody of tbe boy,
declared today that he believed Hespa

SUPREME COURT'S
DECISIONS Ofl WAY
Constitutionality of Oregon
System May Be Determined
by Bench Today.
ANTI-TRUST CASE IS UP
Second Report on Cartiutck Amend
ment to Interstate Commerce
Law May Be Handed Down,
Among Otliera.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. With more
than 100 cases under consideration, the
Supreme Court of the lTnited States is
expected to hand down many Important
decisions tomorrow, when It convenes
after the holiday recess.
More light may be shed on the anti
trust problem by decisions In the St.
Louis bridge case, the "hard coal" case
against the principal anthracite coal
carrying railroads and coal-producing
companies of Pennsylvania, and the
"cotton corner" case, arising out of
transactions on the New York Cotton
Exchange.
Lawa to Be Touched On.
The validity of several Federal laws
may be determined. Foremost among
these is the employers' liability law,
which has been under consideration
by the court since last February. A
second decision may be rendered re
garding the validity of the "Carmack
amendment" to the Interstate com
merce laws, whereby Initial carriers
were made liable for damages or loss
of goods whether occurring on their
lines or those of connecting carriers.
The fate of a score or more of state
laws may be decided. Of these, the
constitutionality of the Oregon initia
tive and referendum system has at
tracted the most attention, because the
ruling of the court will be applicable
to laws in nearly half the states of the
Union.
Foreign corporation laws of Kansas,
New Tork and Texas may ba passed
upon.
Washington Meaeare I p.
Other laws under consideration are
the "hours of service law" for rail
road employes in the State of Wash
ington, the Missouri anti-trust law, the
North Dakota drainage law, the Kan
sas "black powder law." the New York
transfer tax law. the Montana law tax
ing hand laundries, the North Carolina
law regulating the receipt of goods by
railroads, and the Arkansas law re
quiring railroads to pay within 30
days claims for livestock killed by
trains.
Several general questions of law may
be decidod. such as the validity of the
transfer of allotted lands by thousands
of Oklahoma Indians, and the liability
of Insurance companies for policies on
the lives of men executed for murder.
The latter point aroso in the case of
Samuel J. McCue. Mayor of Charlottes
ville. Va.. who was executed In 1905
for the murder of his wife.
SNOW WRAPS NORTHWEST
tContlnugd From First Pace.)
lng without a cloud in the sky, snow
was S4 Inches deep in the city. In
some parts of the upper valley the
depth Is five feet. The first passenger
train to arrive this afternoon was the
Oregon-Washington Limited, delayed
from yesterday afternoon. The front
engine of the two pulling ths train
was derailed in the local yard. Crews
are busy replacing It.
Although the temperature was regis
tered at 6 degreea at 8:30 o'clock in
the city this evening and will probably
go below zero before morning, no
damage will result In the valley from
the excessive cold. However, in case
of a rain or a top thaw followed by
a freexe-up, a quick melting of the
snow which stands from SO Inches In
the lower valley to from four to five
feet In the upper regions, may strip
the branches of the young trees.
The old trees will not suffer, says
C. H. Sproat, manager of the union,
but a heavy thaw may damage the
young trees. A. I. Mason advises or
chardlsts to break the snow from
around young trees. K. W. Arena, a
young orchafdlst, who has 30 acres of
young trees in the Central Vale region,
has had a crew of men busy on skis
today on his tract removing the snow
from around the bodies of the young
trees. Others think that the snow,
which covers the tips of young trees,
should be allowed to remain as a blan
ket for protection.
"If the snow melts slowly." says Mr.
Mason. "Its fertilisation value will be
Inestimable and the season's crop will
be benefited by tha moisture that will
ba Insured."

The telephone trouble was confined
entirely to long-distance wires, how

toward the frigid last night, after a
fall of snow that piled up to a depth
of three or four Inches In the outskirts,
continued clear and cold today. The
air is decidedly frosty tonight, but not
cold enough to cause any suffering,
and the cold, in fact, has served to de
lay the inevitable slush that follows
on the heels of a snowfall In the
Sound country.
At no time today, with the sun
shining clear, did the temperature rise
above 85 degrees, while the lowest re
corded was 25 or seven degrees ot

Curing Catarrh
Accept Our Advice and Try
This Remedy at Our Risk.
Catarrh Is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane Is,
one may say, the interior lining of the
body. Catarrh the'-fore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and nature
fails to throw off the accumulated poi
sons. The organ which has been
afDicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should.
The result is, complication upon com
