STEAMER IS AIDED
BY WIRELESS MESSAGE.
Cleveland. O., June 16. For
the first time In the history of
the Great Lakes, wireless tele-
graph was used today to sum-
mon aid for a distressed steam-
er. En route from Detroit with
practically all of the members
of the Michigan Bankers' asso-
elation aboard, the steamer
Western States blew out a cyl-
inder. The City of Cleveland
picked up the wireless message
and hastened to the aid of the
distressed vessel. The 223 pas-
sengers were transferred in
mldlake and the bankers contln-
ued on their trip to Buffalo on
the Clevelandi while the West-
ern states returned to Detroit.
LETTERS CONTAIN
SECRET OF TRAGEDY
MILTON WOMAN GIVES
REASON' FOR AWFUL DEED
Letters Were Directed to Members of
tho Harper Family Intimacy Had
Developed Into Serious Complica
tions, Locked securely in the vaults in
the office of County Treasurer Brad
ley are four or five letters which con
tain the secret of the terrible tragedy
enacted at Milton Wednesday morn
ing in which Joe Harper and Mrs.
Nannie Myrtle Kyle both died, the
one a murdered man and the other a
suicide. Despite every effort to keep
the existence of these letters from the
public, the secret has leaked out and
the motive which Impelled a woman
to deliberately kill a man and then
take her own life has become known.
In these letters, three of which were
addressed to members of the Harper
family, the woman had set down the
reason for her deed and It was as or
ig.nally surmised. The two victims
of the tragedy had known each other
for several months, an intimacy had
developed which was attended by nu
merous clandestine meetings with the
result that the woman was soon in a
condition hat made discovery of
their relations only a matter of a
short t'me. She had secured a divorce
and It is believed that Harper had
promised to do likewise but had fail
ed to keep his promise. Unable to
withstand the disgrace which must
soon be hers, she had resolved upon
ending both her own life and that of
her betrayer.
letters Are Vindictive.
The letters were written on the
night before the tragedy and all were
the same. At least it is supposed that
all were alike for the only two of
which were lead were identical. They
were couched in a spirit of bitter vin
dictiveness and give evidence of a
state of mind bordering on insanity.
The letters fere found by County
Commissioner H. M. Coskburn who,
together with Coroner Ralph Folsom,
Deputy District Attorney Pruitt and
four of the Milton jurymen, broke
open two of the letters and read the
contents. So bitter was the wordiing
that the seven men decided that it
would be cruelty to deliver them to
the persons to whom they were ad
dressed and determined to maintain
silence concerning the letters and the
contents.
Such secrecy proved impossible,
however, and last night the news
leaked out in Milton. Both Coroner
Folsom and Deputy District Attorney
Pruitt admit the finding of the letters
but refuse to discuss the contents be
yond confirming the reports as to the
motive of the crime.
WANTED TO SEE WIFE;
SURRENDERS TO POLICE
Detroit, June 16. Anxious to see

Kreatz, wanted at Walla Walla, Wash,
for embezzlement of $1200 from the

MEXICANS ARE UPRISING
AGAINST ALL FOREIGNERS
Monterey, Mex.. June 16. A series
of uprisings against the Americans
and other foreigners is threatened in
the states of Jalisco, Sonora and Vera
Cruz. Armed men are claiming title
to lands held by the American plant
ers and are forcing them from their
homes in the state of Vera Cruz.

Mexico City, June 16. The earth

TARIFF BOARD
AFTER FACTS
Edward L Shaw and Party
Would Meet Woolgrowers
and Learn Cost of Wool
INFORMATION FOR USE
IV REVISING SCHEDULE i
Technical E.xiiorts Having Finished
Work in Southwest, Are Xow
Meeting Northwestern Growers
Will Submit Report to Tariff Boar
in December World Wide InvesO
gntion Is On Shaw Is Experience
Man.
Xow is the time for the woolgrow
ers of eastern Oregon to come to th
front, show what It costs to raise wool
in this country and by doing so aid
the tariff board In arriving at what
should be done with reference t
schedule K.
As announced before ln this paper
Edward L. Shaw, technical expert
representing tariff board, is here for
the purpose of securing data regard
ing the cost of producing wool. Un
der Mr. Shaw are five men who hoi
positions as special agents. They are
W. C. Coffey, F. R. Marshall, C. EL
Hawver and H. P. Miller. Under ta
supervision of Mr. Shaw, these met
are covering the entire wool produc
ing sections of the west. They have
been out since January 1 and expect
to have their report ready for sub
mission to the board by December L
"We started our investigation la
Texas in January," said Mr. Shaw,
speaking to the East Oregonian la
evening. "Since that time, we hav
made investigations ln the state
southwest and w-e are now well alone
with the work in the northwest. Whll
in the northwest we will Investigate
conditions in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming. Montana ana
Colorado."
After the Facts.
"We are after the facts regarding
the wool industry and are desirous
of meeting sheepmen and of learninr
exactly what it costs them to produo
wool. The questions we ask cover
everything involved in the sheep bus
iness. The informat:on of course Is
entirely confidential so growers may
feel entirely free to talk with us. Thu
far we have found them invariably
willing to give all the information,
possible and I believe the figures giv
en are accurate. We are able to dis
tinguish quite well between the truth
and falsehoods.
Would Meet Growers.
While here Mr. Shaw is desiroue of
meeting every woolgrower having
headquarters in Pendleton or wh
iuns sheep in any other portion of
eastern Oreon. Growers are invited
to meet him at the Hotel Peudletoa
during his stay in the city. Hj will
be here for several days.
"Oregon is one of the big wool pro
ducing states of the union and we
are anxious to obtain a complete re
port concerning the conditions In this
state. To do this we must have the
cooperation of the growers. Already
we have had the assistance of Dan
P. Smythe, of the woolgrowers' asso
ciation, and we w'sh to get in touch
with all the woolgrowers possible."
While Mr. Shaw and his corps of
experts are investigating the cost of
wool in the west, the tariff board has
other men obtaining similar informa
tion from other parts of the world.
Tho information is to be used by th
board when it submits its report t
congress at the opening of the sessiot
in December.
A Man of Experience.
Before entering upon his present
work, Mr. Shaw was for five years
In charge of the sheep work in the
department of agriculture and so is
very familiar with the sheep indus
try of the country, lie is a gradu
ate of the Ohio state college and sev
eral of the men under him are als
men from that same institution.
MILWAUKEE OFFICIALS
TAKE INSPECTION TOUR
Seattle, June 16. A. J. Earling,
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul railway, accompanied by
a number of eastern business men,
arrived f! m Chicago yesterday on
tour of Inspection over the Milwau
kee's line. Mr. Earling traveling west
from Chicago, studied the crop con
ditions closely in each state, and a
the result of his observations and
inquiries he said that the crop this
year will be unusually Urge unless a
setback occurs through unfavorable
weather. "The yield ln the Dako
tas, Iowa and Minnesota." he re
marked, "will be the largest in their
history. As a consequence there wlB
be a heavy demand for lumber and
other forest products of the Puget
Sound country. Within 60 to 90 days
lumbermen will have more offers for
rail shipment than at any times since
1S09, and the general effect cannot
be other Than good on all lines of
business."
