HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 31. (Spe-oiaI.)--Colonel
W. F. Tucker, United
States army, retired, aeed 65, and one
of the last survivors of hish military
rank of the army regime of a quarter
x-entury apo, died this morning at the
-"Collage hospital here. "Colonel Tuck
er, a native of Boston, Mass., was
not a West Point man. He received
a. commission in 1882. His first actual
Tniiltary experience was during the
camualn against Geronimo.
'. Colonel Tucker, following the Span-ish-Ari;rican
war, was transferred
from Tampa, Fla., where he was sta
tioned, to Alaska. In the far north
Jie was on the staff of the late Gen
eral Randall. For a time he was sta
. tior.ed in Portland. Later Colonel
Tucke.- was sent to Manila, where for
el nvir.iber of years he was paymaster
(for the- island department, on his re
turn to America he was stationed at
"the Lakes department at Chicago and
just before his retirement was made
assistant paymaster-general.
Colonel Tucker's health was im
paired by life in the orient. Physi
. cians in 1910 held no hopes of his re
covery when he came here seeking
. health. He purchased a tract of for-,
est land overlooking the upper Hood
river and with one of the finest views
obtainable of Mount Hood. There in
seclusion he set himself to the taek
of recuperation. With his brother-in-law,
George Krey, he had cleared
I the land and planted a large orchard
acreage, and was just beginning to
' realize the rewards of his labor by
the first apple crops when death
' came.
Colonel Tucker was a member of
the Knights Templar and was a Scot-
- tifih Rite Mason of high rank.
; Colonel W. F. Tucker, who died
yesterday in Hood River, held a
number of prominent positions dur
ing his 27 years' military service,
including that of chief paymaster of
the Philippine division for a period
during the Philippine war and later
assistant paymaster-general with the
rank of colonel at Vancouver bar
racks. He held the latter position
at the time of his retirement, March
4, 1909.
The colonel was located at Van-
couver barracks for a number of
years and made many friends in
.' Portland during that period.
Colonel Tucker was appointed to
a commission in the service from the
. state of Massachusettes in 1882. Al
though stepping from civilian life to
J his military career, he was particu
.larly successful and rapidly climbed
" . to the rank of colonel.
At the time of the Philippine in
, Burrection he was sent there by the
. peymaster-general's office and was
made chief paymaster of the islands
during that period. This was one
of the most important offices in
' American military circles in the Phil
- ippine Islands at that time.
Colonel C. E. Dentler of Portland
Paid last night that he remembered
. Colonel Tucker having held this posi
tion during the time he himself was
- in the Philippine Islands in 1903 and
.- 1904.
Colonel Tucker retired from the
army on account of poor health and
..immediately went to Hood River,
where he purchased a farm near
Mount Hood, which he planted to ap
pies. Physicians and friends had al
- most despaired of his recovery at the
time of his retirement, but the open
air life on the farm restored much
ot his former vigor. His place at
Hood River was named El Corregidor
in memory of his days in Manila.
Following receipt of a telephone
message from Mrs. Tucker from Hood
River yesterday, Edward L. Estes, o
Portland, who had been for manj
- years a friend of the colonel, left for
. Hood River.

carefully. He found blood In the road

, 488 HURT DURING WEEK
Accident Report Shows 469 Sub
ject to Compensation Act.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.)
Touring the week ending- October 30,
1S19, there were reported to the in
dustrial accident commission a total
of 8 accidents, according to a report
issued by that body today.
Of the total number of accidents
reported. 469 were subject to the pro
visions of the compensation act, 13
were from firms and corporations that
!. had rejected the law, and six were
from public utilities not subject to
the provisions of the compensation
act. The week was free from fatalities.
Slieeplierder Referred To by State
Is Said to Have Carried Ririe.
Expert Testimony Given.
EUGEXE, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.)
The state rested this afternoon in the
trial of Martin A. Clark, charged with
the murder of Charles L. Taylor of
McKenzie bridge, and the defense ex
amined four witnesses just before
court adjourned.
The first was D. A. Hoag. a school
teacher from Marion county, who was
in the mountains near where Taylor
was found dead and who testified that
the sheepherder, who was thought to
have been the only other person be
sides Clark and Taylor in that locality
at the time of the shooting, carried
rifle when Hoag saw him two days
after Taylor disappeared. The state
had introduced testimony from two
witnesses that this sheepherder was
unarmed. Dan Cushman of Walton
also testified that he saw this sheep
man and that he had a gun.
For the state, Robert H. Craddock,
police Inspector of Portland, qualified
as an expert on ammunition and guns
and stated that he had made experi
ments in many cases in Oregon. His
testimony dealt entirely with the pe
culiar marks on the shells made by
the imperfections of the breech block
of Clark's gun.
Other testimony introduced by the
state was to the effect that there had
been some differences between Tay
lor and Clark for more than a week
before Taylor was killed and that
Clark was willing to join the search
ing party, only he objected to ac
companying certain members of it.
Salem Council and Mayor in Row-
sale:.!. Or.. Oct. 31. (Special.)
Because Mayor Otto Wilson voiced
disapproval of the council's action in
employing two additional policemen,
a movement was launched here today
to remove the official, according to
wellfounded rumors in municipal cir
cles. Several of the councilmen have
expressed themselves as opposed to
eliminating the new patrolmen, and
say they have no fear of the charge
that they are liable to a fine of $500
for what the mayor says is a violation
of the state law. .
all times carried the air of -ne I William Sharkey, Herbert lei;ker. Stanley
lsely accused, yet confident he ililwiitn, Forrest I.ittltf leid. Joeph suring-
would be refeased.
Testimony late Thursday brought
into the case an angle which it had
been thought would not appear. The
defense sought to discredit the evi
dence of John Leuthold, who said he
had found in the sand the two shells
matching one from the Howell boy's
gun.
Shell Figure In Testimony.
The four shells figured in the gen
eral testimony, but others were fired
by Coroner Wilson and these were
not questioned. The rifle was a single
fire Stevens and before Lillian Leut
hold was killed, a small brother of
tier's, Carroll Worden and Harold
Howell went out to try the gun. They
tired lour shots, as the evidence
showed. After Howell's arrest the
authorities learned that the gun had
been so tried and John Leuthold was
reported to have gone to look up.
those shells.
The evidence at the trial developed
that he found two shells, but no
others were reported in the discov
ery. The defense proceeded on the
theory that John Leuthold "planted"
the two shells in the sand, for they
were found prior to the search where
the boys fired the four shots. Curi
ously, a fifth shell figured in the evi
dence, for one of the witnesses for
the state had gone to the scene of the
tryout and found a shell after Leu
thold had searched. Charles McKnight
concluded his argument of the de
fense at six when the recess for din
ner took place.
Boys Calmness Amazes.
The Jurors later returned to the
courtroom to hear the argument of
District Attorney Hall and that of
Attorney A. j. Sherwood, who was re
tained by the Leuthold family to as
sist District Attorney Hall. After the
recess tonight th.e amazement at the
self-possession of Harold Howell was
commented on by many who heard his
direct testimony and the efforts of
the prosecution to confuse him in the
cross-examination. The boy held hi
calmness throughout and was never
tangled in any of his evidence.
I he case is expected not to go to
the Jury before tomorrow morning.
A' summing up tonight of the evl
dence develops that it has been con
flicting throughout and the defense
and prosecution testimony agreed on
ly in minor points.
The question of perverted sexual
morals came into the case today when
Dr. V. L. Hamilton of Coquille was ex
amined. Dr. Hamilton said such signs
usually do not appear until a man is
past 30, but that if in a boy, it would

or other defects.
