Without Word, Joseph Coach

Former I-lquor Dealer, Once Prose
cuted by Lawyer, Attacks Him
Day After Wife Brings
L. Action for Divorce.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. Oct. 19. (Spe
cial) Joseph Coach, of Bandon, walked
up to G. T. Treadgold, a Bandon attor
ney, tonight and, without a word, shot
him dead, stepped a few feet away
turned the automatic on himself andj
sent a. ,32-caliber bullet into his own
left temple. Treadgold had just gone
for his car at the Coquille garage when
Coach approached and shot him.
Coach is in the Baxter Hotel, uncon
scious, and there is no hope of his
surviving.
On approachlug Treadgold when ho
fired the fatal shot. Coach did not say
a word. Nothing passed between the
men, according to A. A. Powell and
V. 51. Perkins, witnesses of the tragedy.
Tragedy Follow Short Talk.
Coach and Treadgold had held a short
conversation a few minutes before on
the steps of the Baxter Hotel, but no
loud words were exchanged, nearby
persons said:
The killing is the outgrowth of a
feud which has existed between Tread
gold and Joseph and Arthur Coach for
the last five years. Coach had said he
had been persecuted by the attorney.
Coach was the son of a wealthy
timber owner, who died flvej years ago,
and inherited one-third of the property
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars. The Coach brothers got into
litigation on several instances and
Treadgold was frequently opposed to!
Uiem.
Liquor Case Augments Bitterness.
Two years ago this Fall. Treadgold,
as prosecutor, brought about the con
viction of Joseph Coach at Bandon for
selling liquor to Ituby and Lolita
tiimpson, and Coach's saloon license
was revoked by the City Council. Re
sulting from that prosecution, a libel
suit was started by G. T. Treadgold
agatnat a Coos County daily newspaper.
Subsequent to the conviction at Ban
don, the Simpson girls said on oath
that they were coerced by Treadgold
into swearing that liquor was given
them by Coach, and Coach was released
from an indictment in the Circuit Court.
Yesterday Joseph Coach was served
with a suit for divorce by his wife,
and it is supposed he believed Tread
gold had something to do with pro
moting it.
Treadgold Not In Caw.
Treadgold had taken the'ease at first
but later turned it over to Claude Giles,
of Myrtle Point, and Treadgold's name
did not appear in the papers.
G. T. Treadgold had been a practicing
attorney at Bandon for the past nine
years, was married, and leaves a wife
and two children. His father and
brother and sister are residents of the
Bandon neighborhood.
Witnesses who were about the
garage said that Coach had been
drinking before the shooting. The af
fair caused a profound sensation at the
county seat where Treadgold had been
attending a session of the Circuit
Court.
Liquor Crusade Jllta Coach.
Treadgold was 33, and had been a
successful practitioner. He was City
Attorney at the time of his death,
having been appointed two years ago
by Mayor George P. Topping, when
there was a need felt for cleaning up
some of the rough saloons in the city
The result of the first crusade was the
closing of the Joseph Coach and an
other saloon.
Joseph Coach has a sister in Coquille,
Mrs. Leo J. Carey, and a brother, Ar
thur Coach, of Lampa Creek. He was
about 35 years of age, and was married
last year to & Portland woman, who
the day before the tragedy sought a
Separation from him.
Much of Coach's fortune was ex
pended in litigation, and his brother
was also a victim of several costly
legal affairs. The property of the
Coach heirs consists of ranches and
timber lands in Coos County, mostly in
the neighborhood of Lampa Creek.

YOUXUSTOWS, O.. Oct. 19. Charles
E. Hughes, reiterating that he meant
what he said In Louisville the other
night about tlie course he would have
followed with reference to the Lusl
tanla. tonight replied to a recent ut
terance of Secretary McAdoo with the
declaration that apparently it seemed
impossible to the , Administration that
one could mean what he said.
"Now rises the Secretary of tr o
Treasury to complain tliat this was
not a statement of what 1 would have
done had the sinking occurred." Mr.
Hughes said, after reiterating that he
would have stated hie position "un
equivocally" In advance of the sinking.
Lualtanla Would Net Have Been Sank.
'I was under the impression that
when 1 said what I would have stated
In advance as to what 1 would do.
everyone would know that I stated
what In fact I would have done In the
described event. The secretary's re
marks show in an illuminating way
this Administration's conception ot the
value of words.
"It apparently seems Impossible to
this Administration that one can mean
what h says. That is its difficulty.
With it. a threat of- action does not
seem to mean anything but words. My
position Is somewhat different.
"I mean what I say and because this
would have been well known and we
should already have had a reputation
for firm and correct policies. I re
peat that the Lusitania would not have
been sunk."
Reply Made to Baker.
Mr. HuBhes spoke before an audience
In the theater here. He also replied to
a statement attributed to Secretary of
War Baker in a recent speech In which
Washington's soldiers in the march to
Valley Forge in the days of the Amer- '
lean Revolution were said to be Just as
tad characters as the Mexicans.
'I never supposed the day would
come." Mr. Hughes said, "when the rep
resentative of American administra
tion would say that of those who gave
us our liberty."
After quoting the statement attribut
ed to Secretary Baker. Mr. Hughes read
from Secretary Lansing's description in
June last of the atrocities in Mexico,
contained In a note to the de facto gov.
ernment of Mexico. Mr. Lansing's reci
tal of the civil strlfj in Mexico, with
its attendant loss of American life and
destruction of American property, and
that portion of the note relating to the
Santa Ysabel massacre was read by
Mr. Hughes verbatim.
Apology Declared Shameful,
"An administration Imbued with the
spirit of true Americanism." Mr.
Hughes said, "would be Incapable of
the statement attributed to the Secre
tary of War. It must bring the blush
of shame to the cheek of every Ameri
can that apologies for the deplorable
record in Mexico should be made after
this fashion."
Mr. Hughes speech here tonight was
the last of his third presidential cam
paign trip. He left here at 11 P. M.
for New Tork. where he Is due tomor
row afternoon. The day was spent
traveling, with three short addressee,
at Bay City. Saginaw and Flint. Mich.
It was raining and the damp weather
affected the nominee's voice.
Rights of Cltlaena Surrendered.
In his speech here tonight. Mr.
Hughes said:
"The President of the United States Is
the trustee of executive power. Placed
in control of our agencies of Interna
tional intercourse, be Is the guardian
of the rights of the American citisens.
He has no authority to surrender them,
no right to impair them. Upon his
firmness in maintaining them depends
our security and our peace. The Demo
cratic platform four years ago prom
ised that the Constitutional rights of
American citizens should protect them '
on our borders and go with them
throughout the world. When it prom
ised full protection for American lives
and property abroad. It stated an es
tablished American principle.
"One of Americas greatest jurists,
speaking for the Supreme Court of th
United States, said many years ago.
another privilege of a citizen of th
United States is to demand the care
and protection of the Federal Govern
ment over his life, liberty and property
when on the high seaa or within tha
Jurisdiction of a foreign government.
American Doctrine Reversed.
"Now we are told that the Adminis
tration ,' has turned its back on the
American doctrine of full protection.
That is what its leading apologist finds
Its record in Mexico to mean. It is a
reversal without authority and in vio
lation of the specific pledge upon
which it was elected. Instead of fol
