H. M. Hudson, the story of whose ar

of mystery which only time can shake.

Hudson Is one of the class of men
the tailors describe as "particular." On
his bureau In the private house where
he lodged, was every little refinement
of the toilet, even to a sizable bottle
of perfume: silver-mounted accessories
and ail that goes with them. The per
fume even permeated the large Jar of
high-priced tobacco he kept at his
elbow. His clothing In all its details
man In keeping.
At strange variance with these ap
pearances and with his claim to the
title of a literary man. was documen
tary evidence that he had sought, less
than a month ago. a berth as plumber
or steamfitter In the Philippine service.
W.an'i Apparel la Trasks,
Beyond the meager belongings of a
dressy rover, none of the effects wnich
Detectives Hyde and Vaughn found In
a large and heavy trunk were mascu

complete assortment of the apparel of
a stylish woman, every garment ex
pressing disregard of cost. Hudson
avers that he has had no woman travel

his possession cf the finery. The com
pleteness of the assortment betokens.
th officers say. tltat It was the prop
erty of some one woman who either
traveled with Hudson, or suffered the
loss of her entire outfit.
Hudson has traveled far and wide
and stared at the most exclusive re
torts, if his collection of hotel sta
tionery may be taken as evidence.
Souvenir bits, streetcar transfers and
printed matter connect him with a
variety of places from New Tork to
Cheyenne and all along the Pacific
Coast. The frequent recurrence of pic
tures of a boy about 4 years old. In
his effects, leads the officers to be

woman of middle age.

a member of fraternal orders Is Indi
cated br the discovery of a Masonic
emblem In one of lils old hats.

One bit of evidence which may prove
significant Is a torn scrap of a letter,

CLYDE BELIEVES REPORT
Councilman Says Franchise Given
Northwestern Is Faulty Because
It Permits of Competitors
Being "Swallowed Vp."
Heads of both the Portland Railway,
Light Power Company and the
Northwestern Electric Company yes
terday denied emphatically the rumor
of proposed consolidation of these com
panies, which provoked from Council
man Clyde a resolution to the City
Council providing for an Investigation
of the matter by the City Attorney.
"I do not believe that it Is true that
such a consolidation is under consider
ation, and so far as I know there is
nothing at all to the rumors mentioned
by Mr. Clyde in his resolution." said
B. S. Jossclyn. president of the Port
land Railway. Light & Power Company.
The first Intimation I received that
such rumors were afloat was In the
stories that appeared In the newspapers
this morning announcing that he had
presented his resolution calling for an
investigation.
lavratlgatloa la Courted.
"If such a move had been under con
sideration. I would have been Informed
of It aa soon as anyone else, and for
that reason I do not hesitate to say
that no such transaction is contem
plated. Such an investigation as Coun
cilman Clyde calls for Is Invited by the
company with which I am associated,
and will quickly demonstrate the base
lessness of the rumor."
W. K. Ooman. vice-president and
general manager of the i'orth western
Electric Company, confirmed the state
ment of Mr. Josselyn.
"I should certainly have known about
It If the company with which I am as
sociated contemplates such a consoli
dation, and I must say that these
rumors mentioned by Mr. Clyde are
news to me." he said. "I heard noth
ing about the matter until I saw the
account of Mr. Clyde's resolution in the
papers this morning. There Is no foun
dation whatever to such rumors."
Loophole la Seen.
Councilman Clyde says that he does
not know whether there Is any foun
dation to the rumors he has heard, but
declared that they came from sources
which he believed to be reliable.
While the Northwestern Company
In the terms of Irs franchise cannot be
swallowed up by a competing company.
I have found that there is notning in
the franchise to prevent It from swal-
owing up a competing company, says
Councilman Clyde. "I do not know
whether anj-thlng can be dene at tr.is
time to rectify that condition. Jf the
resolution can do nothing else and the
rumors prove untrue, we may take
steps to prevent such absorption at any
future time. If possible.

FAMILIAR STAGE FIGURE IS
PORTLAND RETURNS AS
STAR AT EMPRESS
Al Lewis.
Al Lewis, who was a familiar
figure in the stagedom of Port
land more than 10 years ago.
has returned with 125 fiddles. 22
of which he will be required to
smash into pieces here. When
Mr Lewis was in Portland lie
was associated with Lou Hearn,
co-star with Bonlta, now touring
England with "Wine.Women and
Songr." Lewis and Hearn played
at the old Star Theater here in
190.1, when Chris O. Brown, now
general booking, agent for Sulli
van & Considme. was manager of
that playhouse.
In his present visit to Portland
Mr. Lewis comes as the star of
"The New Leader," the headline
comedy to be staged at the Em
press this week. A few weeks
ago the same sketch was pre
sented at the Orpheum with Sam
Maim in the title role. Lewis is
supported In the comedy by the
same. cast that accompanied
Mann on a tour of the Orpheum
circuit two seasons ago, and the
three women and three men with
Lewis in the Empress playlet
staged "The New Leader" with
Sam Mann when that comedian
made the greatest hit of his ca
reer on Broadway.
In the finale of "The New
Leader," Lewis, in anger, breaks
a fiddle in a fight with the stage
manager. Lewis keeps 125 "prop"
fiddles cn hand for the destruc
tive climaxes of his comedy.
The comedy also requires Lewis
to drink three quarts and three
quarters of beer a day with an
additional mug on Sunday for
the extra show. Lewis drinks
the beer while he directs from
the orchestra pit the vaudeville
