Spoken officers hav at teat found a clue which they baiter ntay result in a I aolutlon of tha mystery surrounding the murder of Rano Hutrhlneon In that city Monday night. It la a dying exclama tion, uttarad by tin young man Just be fore he expired. Yesterday It 1 was discovered that a prominent clllaen of Spokane who re sided near the scene of tha tragedy rushed out of his horn on hearing the a resort of a revolver and ran to the aid . of tha man whom he aaw lying upon the lawn. Aa he leaned over tha proatrate form Hutchinson Is said to have exclaimed, "Oh. Rob. Rob." The exclamation was heard distinctly by the man, ha says, and he reported It to tha police at the time. Utile or no ' Importance was attached to It than. It seems, but when It was again reported yesterday the police seised upon It aa a possible due. They ara accordingly mak ing every effort to ascertain whetber or not there was an enemy of tha dead man by tha name of Rob. signed to the oaae belter that the dying man was trying to amy "Robbers," but failed. The mam who claims to bar heard tha exclamation, however. Insists that the dying man was uttering a name, evidently In expostulation or sur prise. He Is confident that the nam' Rob Is born by Hutchinson's slayer. In view of the Insistence of th man who claims to have heard the dying ex clamation the police are attaching th greatest Importance to th elm. They are making every effort to ascertain whether any on by that nam could have had a motive for such a crime os Indeed If any on by that nam could possibly have been In Hutchinson's com pany as he walked along th street on the fatal night Little significance Is attached to tha statement that Hutchinson lost hi weight during several weak prior to hi death.

PENNSYLVANIA'S CAPITOL (Continued from Page One.) . ha tried to ward it off by Inviting all , Jttens to visit Harrlsburg mud Me the magnificent structure HI Invl .' l tetlon was not enough, therefore he got .vth Pennsylvania and Reading railroads i.to run special excursions at a very low rate to Harrlsburg but thorn who have availed themselves of these cheap trip white greatly Impressed with th mag nificence of th new capltol. neverthe less see graft sticking from every point of th great building. Only Farmsr Wanted. A peculiar feature of thkae excursions was that thay war designed for th country people. Cltteen of Philadelphia and Pittsburg are too wise. Tby can see graft everywhere, for they have so long been fitted with It. but th country people, the governor thought, would only eee th beauties of tha structure, there for th cheap excursion rates were from points not nearer than nine miles to Philadelphia or Pittsburg. What those who have taken these ex cursion bar en has been wonderful, for they saw graft, graft and graft. Take, for Instance, th so-called mahog any woodwork of th building.

They art usually designed by th architect and each design Is to cost a certain amount, but in a graft-ridden structure m new system has been devised to hide th work of the grafter.

Because, with the ordi nary range draft the air current only strike part of the fire. Usu ally the damper door on such a range is situated at one end of the firebox only, which makes your fire hot at tha draft end and cold at the other end. Now the draft in a MONARCH RANGE is entirely different. Instead of one damper door, there are TWO, one in each end of the firebox, and both are regulated by the seme handle. 80 you get two direct cur rents of air st the same time, and your fire burns smoothly and evenly. The draft striking the fire from both directions consumes ALL THE FUEL, and gives yon all the heating power from the coal. When you empty the aahpan in a Monarch Range you are throw ing away ASHES and ashes only not coal, and in addition to this, the Monarch ia constructed of MALLEABLE STEEL, which can be riveted so tight and solid that no sir leaks can possibly hap pen, aa they do in cast-iron ranges. The top is malleable steel, polished and bright. You can keep it clean without smearing your range with blacking, which gets on the cooking vessels to make more work for you.

It was found that there were more point of dispute as to the conditions that should prevail during th proposed arbitration period than there were as to the permanent condi tions. Per this reason the conferee ceased tslklng of arbitration and talked of the conditions which brought about the strike and of th possibility ef set tling it. ror 'a time the exporters stood firm for the opn shop, declaring that thay could not discharge the strike breaker I new at work.

The exporters signified their willlng aa to agree to thla, and the only point of difference left waa to the unionising of the weighers, sampler aad machine men.

It Is a conoassten, therefore, asked of the exporters by the gralnhandlers. and not vice versa. The parties to the conference yesterday were Attorneys RiismU E. Sewall and R. R.

Both sides will undoubtedly keep the truce until after tomorrow' meeting. Then If an agreement te reached, the gralnhandlers. longshoreman and rig gers and liners will go back to work, tha labor boycott on Brown A HcCabe will be raised, as will be the general boycott on Allen A Lewi and tbe boy cott of the teamster on th.
