In hl. address here olonel Rooee- relt discussed ths differences that the tarljr question has caused In tho Republican ranks. "After tbs turmoil Is over." ha said, "ths party will be found un divided in support of prsgresslvs ideas. It Is now practically In favor unanimously of the tariff commis sion." He declared that the Republicans would have to "come to the progres sive principles which Orllk repre sents. The former president bitterly as sailed Wall street and Tammany hall. "I do not think they will win this fight," shouted the speaker, "but If they do we will beat them next time.

OFFICERS HAVE SUSPICIOUS BUT ARE HOT SATISFIED ENOUGH TO MAKE ARREST Evidence Indicates That Roberts Was Made to Get Out of His Buggy, and That a Struggle Ensued in Which Roberts Grasped His Assailant's Wrist This Would Explain the Bullet Striking Him in the Top of His Head Probably Also Roberts Dropped Purse Before Getting Out, to Save It. That J. E. Roberts came to his death "by a gunshot wound in the brain, by the hand of an unknown party or parties" was the verdict of the coroner's jury which sat upon the lnqutst held over the remains of the late Mr. Roberta, who was mur dered and robbed In the covered bridge over South Mill creek, near the reform school, Tuesday evening, after hearing the testimony of sev eral witnesses In the case. The Jury was composed of L. C. Cavanougb, foreman, Frank Morrison, W. D. Wheeler, R. II. Hagan, Felix D. Da vis and W. L. Miller. Although District Attorney John II. McNary conducted a very search ing investigation of the details ct the crime, as related by the wit nesses, no light was shed upon the perpetrntlon of the deed or the Iden tity of the murderer and the whole affair la enshrouded In the deepest of mystery.

Salem Woolen Mill Stor - ty Sheriff Esch, who have been de voting their entire attention to the ferreting out of tho Identity of the slayer of Mr. Roberts, have ob tained no clue whatever that will lead to the discovery and arrest of the guilty party or parties and the whole affair remains unsolved, both bs to the Identity of the party wh committed the crime as well as the exact amount of money that was so cured. The witnesses examined at the coroner's Inquest this morning were; Sheriff H. P. Mlnto, Deputy Sheriff William Esch, Chief of Police W. D. Gibson, D. Evans, Dr. J. N. Smith. Earl Gardner and Roscoe Sholton, all of whom told the same stories that have heretofore been related In the Capital Journal but none of them was able to shed any light up on the mystery. It is evident, from the circum stances snrroundlng the case.Vthat Mr. Roberts, after being compelled to alight from his buggy, had a struggle with his assailant and that he had grasped the wrist of the par ty who held the gun and this ex plains the mystery of the two shots which passed through Mr. Roberts' hat and the fact that the shot which proved fatal, entered the head from the top and ranged downward. Mr. Roberts bad been known to have made the remark that If anyone at tempted to hold him up, he would not accomplish his purpose without a struggle and this further strength- (Contlnued on Page 4.) rTTTVTTT T T TTTTTTT TTTf T T f p Bishop's Ready 44 V
