Made by John P. Cudahy upon Jero 1 sonville, 94.53; Central Point, 93.2S;;
S. Lillis, wheu he found Lillis in his
iome aarly Sunday morning, was
taken today when the case against
Cudahjtvw&s continued in police
court until one wtek from tomorrow.
The millionaire member of the fa-1
ous firm of packers did not appear
.
to answer the charge ot assault.
Lillis, who is also a millionaire, is
jesting well nnd undoubtedly will re
cover from the severe knife wounds
which he sustained at the hands of
the irate husband.
"Only a Ilstake."
Mrs. Cudahy refused any state
ent further thnn to say that the
affair was all a mistake.
Tho police are making an effort to
find the mysterious chauffeur who
"witnessed the exciting scene enacted
in the Cudahy residence.
Patrolman Underwood, who went
to the Cudahy house in answer to a
telephone message, today said:
"Tho chauffeur -was standing in
the room when I arrived. He had
lis cap, gloves and coat on and it
-was clear that he had brought Cud
liy on his sudden and unexpected
rreturn home.
Holding Knife.
"When I walked in, they did not
notice me at first. Cudahy was in
evening dress, except that he had hip
-ont off. Lillis was lying
.floor, half nude, and tied with a rope.
Cudahy was standing over him with
the knife, and I heard Lillis say:
flDon't do it, Jack; please: don't do
itr
"Cudahy seemed to be slashing
Jtim about the hips. ' Lillis' lower
Grabs were bare. j
HI "rushed up nnd interfered. I
sow the man on the floor was in n
serious condition from loss of blood
and after I saw that Cudahy wus
willing to go -with me without any
effort to escape, I turned my atten
tion to getting nn ambulance. When
I looked for the chauffeur again he
Taras gone."
Cu&riiy In Seclusion.
The scandal of bringing such
prominent names into the police
court and the sensational features of
the case have given this city the
greatest shock of years. The police
eourt was jammed this morning by
crowds expecting to neo Cudahy ap
pear. It is believed that powerful influ
ences will be brought to beur to sup
press! further developments. Unless
some more serious charge is made I
against Cudahy, ho probably will be preparing 10 wage a raio war against

HILL'S PURCHASE OF
ELECTRIC CONFIRMED!
PORTLAND, March 7. Reports
that James J. Hill and Great North-1
era interests bad purchased the
United Railways of Portland, which
have been more or less in circulation
ever since the road changed hands'
last fall, are now positively confirm-1
ed. This confirmation has come to
Tt it j i M
the east and its authenticity is be-
yond question. Whatever reason
there was for clouding the Identity,
of the purchasers at the time of the
sale, it apparently hao been removed
And the purchase is frankly ad
mitted. Two motives, it is understood, act
uated Hill in the acquirement of tho
road. One was the need of more
North Bank terminal facilities and!
tho other availability of the route for :
extension to the heavily timbered
Tillamook district. The latter, it is
believed, was the more important
consideration of the two, as the
United Railways terminal holdings
are meager.

WELLINGTON, Wash., March 7.
Mrs. W. M Starrett, survivor of
Inst Tuesdav's horror, croans "1

most.
Tho first great shook came to Mrs.

Of the little party of mournors

her condition was so serious that the
news of the other deaths was kept

would be saved that he escaped

"Let me die," groaned the wan

up and buried his head in his frnil
mother's breast and the slightest

STEEL STRIKE

Schwab Refuses Recognition of Un-
Ion and Indications Arc for Long!
and Stubborn Contest Will Not '
Deal With Organization. I
SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pa., March
7. Following tho refusal of Presi
dent Charles M. Schwab to rocognuo
tho union, indications today aro that
tho striko of the Bethlehem steel
workers will continue indefinitely.
When Schwab received a commu
nication containing tho demands nf
tho strikors nnd signed by tho ex
ecutive committee of tho union, ho
said that ho would refuse to rocog
nizo it, as it did not cmnnnte from
tho men themselves. Ho declared
thnt no consideration whatsoever
would bo given tho men not working
at tho plnnt.
In n lottor to tho miblic. in which
he defined tho company's position, he
said in part:
,fVo infer that the communication
signed by tho executive committee
originated cither with representatives
of organized labor or men who loft
our employ during the Inst month.
"Wo desire to notify those- men
who havo left our employ, as well as
the general public, that wo can give
no consideration to the communica
tion, since it docs not emanate from
tho men working in our plnnt. It
mnst be understood thnt under no
circumstances will we denl with men
on strike or a body of men repre
senting organized labor."
The nds. thnt you ought to answer
today will bo easy to find. .
the foundation was completed several
weeks ago, but ns long as the stormy
weather continued nothing could be
done in tho way of construction.
Sixty men aro now working on tho
cement foundation. Every nvailablo
man is laboring on the bng home,
which will bo a larger building thnn
the big smelter itself. It will cover
tho whole top of the hill bnck of tho
smelter. Tho bnilding will be mndo
of steel, much of which is now on the

SNOW ON HILLS
IS MELTING FAST
Rivers and Stroalns Comparatively
Full, Though No Prospects of n
Flood In tho Noar Future Rivers
and Streams Acting Well.
i While tho rivers nnd tributaries in
Northern California and Southern
Oregon aro not running bank-full
and nothing approaching flood con
ditions aro prevalent, all the streams
aro kcoping tip to comparatively full
stages, bocauso of the unusually fast
molting of snow on tho mountain
ranges. With an almost total ah
bonoo of rain, but wnrm weather
prevailing for tho last week, tho
snow is disappearing rapidly.
' Along tho headwaters of tho Mo-
Cloud river in Siskiyou county the
snow has diminished nino inches in
( tho last week. At Sisson, at the font
of Mount Shasta, tho source of tho
Sacramento rivor, tho snow hns nl
most entirely left tho low flanks of
i tho mountain.
t Thnt tho molting not Confined to
nny ono section of tho mountain re
gions is shown by reports received
from points, snow stations, in tho
Sierra Nevada and also tho Lassen
mountains. Over in the Siorra val
ley the snow has melted from three
to six inches .and about tho same on
tho mountain side.
It .is interesting to note in that
particular district, tho Sierra valley,
it was extraordinarily cold during
tho .winter, the thennomoter doing
business at 30 degrees below zero for
some time.
Tho heaviest blanket of snow in
the state of California now lies on
tho great divide running westward
from Summit. The "beautiful"
measured 55 inches at Summit, and
at Doreoy's Station, on tho Sierra
county divide, 60 inches is tho total
depth of snow at present. All nlong
tho western slope it is melting rap
idly. At Tablo Rock, on the Sierra
Nevada range, it lios more than (10
inches deep nnd is receding.
