tempts were made to extort a confess
ion from him. and he narrated a num-
jer of detailed stories of the crinIe.
naming Logue as the perpetrator, but
eventually on April II he told the true
story.
He said that when the woman sig
nified her intention OF returning to New
York she was intoxicated, and he in
duced her to wait until he could accom-
pany her to the station. He took her
upstairs and made her get into bed
with her clothes on. Then. he says. to
prevent her getting away before he
could go with her he bound her hand
and foot. This was at 7 o'clock in the
evening. Four hours later he found
her lying on her face with her head
under the bolster, smothered to death
in an evident attempt to break her
bonds. The next day he buried the
body under the kitchen floor. He might
have taken her jewels. but denied any
knowledge of the 81, 900 bonds which she
was said to have in her bosom.
The original story told by Logue was
borne out in every detail by the inves-
legations of the coroner and the detect
ives, but they further found Cutaier
had for years been leading a crooked
career. His story Of the woman be-
ing accidentally smothered is generally
discredited.

immense Quantities to Be Sold
at San Francisco.
MAY BE A BIG BEAR SCHEME
Estate of James &. Fair Has Had the
Cereal Stored in immense Ware.
houses at Port Costa.

San Francisco, April 29.-The Evening
Bulletin says that the 100000 tons of
Syndicate wheat" which has been
stored for two years in the warehouse
of the late James G. Fair at Port Costa
has been placed on the market. The
wheat is of the crop of 1928 and 1894.
1t is said that the Luning estate loaned
Fair $1OOO,OO0 to corner" the wheat,
and that the Luning estate manage
ment, nervous for fear that weevil
might damage its security, has pressed
the Fair estate to take up this loan.
The 1892 and 1898 wheat can not under
the rules be sold on change, so the
wheat will be advertised to buyers gen.
orally. 1t is estimated to be worth
$1,S00,000 Whether sold here or not,
the getting of such a quantity of wheat
out of port will be a problem. Nego-
tiations have been made for a ship
ment of part of the wheat by rail to
New Orleans, thence to Liverpool. 1t
would require 5000 cars to move half
the stored syndicate wheat. To ship
all the wheat to Liverpool would take
seYenty-five vessels.

Lewiston. April 27.-In Lewiston there
IS a historical tree. A merchant who
rode lazy mule to this city in 1864, the
scene of future business enterprise Of
great magnitude, used on the journey
from Walla Walla a poplar switch.
That switch, which was by hard service
on the journey reduced to a stout
club bruised and peeled, was set in the
ground, nourished, and grew to be a
tall. straight tree, the first on the then
barren sandbar. That tree still flour
ishes by the edge of the sidewalk on
Main street. 1t is seventy-five feet high
and eight and a half feet in circum-
ference. And this tree is the parent Of
all the trees in this valley of the poplar
kind. Twigs were severed from this
parent poplar as the years went by till
now every street in the city is shaded
by line of them on each side; the lanes
in the country are lined with them;
farmers have ornamental trees groves
and windbreaks-all in a direct line of
ancestry from the club Robert Grostein
used to encourage his mule when he
came to this city, in the history of
which he has been so extensively as
ISOLATED.

Washington, d. c., April 28.-For the
purpose of learning the real situation
respecting affairs at Corinto, DR.. Guz-
man, the Nicaraguan minister sent a
telegram Of inquiry to his government
Today a dispatch came in reply from
the minister of foreign affairs at Man
aqua confirming the report that the
British are in possession, the dispatch
saying: "Corinto is today under the
British flag" The minister does not
know whether his government has de-
"lared Corinto closed port. but he is
OF the opinion that such step has been
resorted to.
DR.. Guzman made a negative reply
when asked If he had any news as to
whether his government had changed
its attitude and taken any steps to sat
isfy the demand set forth in the British
ultimatum. The report that the gov
eminent of Costa Rica had volunteered
to pay one-fifth of the indemnity de-
manded by Great Britain was news to
the minister. "Such a thing is possible"
the minister said with a shrug of his
shoulders. "They are very patriotic,
but have no information on the sub
ject"

Refusai Resulted.
London, April 2S.-The United States
attempted to adjust the pending dispute
between Great Britain and Nicaragua.
Ambassador Bayard, acting under in
structions from Washington, reported
to the British foreign office that Near
aqua, If given two weeks additional
time from the expiration of three days
fixed by the ultimatum, would meet the
demands for the payment of $1,000
pounds indemnity for the expulsion of
Pro-Consul Hatch. Lord Kimberly ac-
coded to tina demand and as it was pre-
sumed the state department at Wash
ington was acting for Nicaragua it
was thought the incident would be
closed without further complications,
but as Nicaragua refused at the last
moment to acquiesce in this arrange
ment, the original plan of occupying
Corinto was carried out. 1t is believed
here that Nicaragua secured the inter-
mediation OF the United States for the
sole purpose of delay.

twisting the Lions Tail
San Francisco, April Ex-Governor
James H. Budd, democrat, in referring
to the Nicaraguan difficulty, says:
1.-THE United States should never have
allowed the British marines to set foot
on Nicaraguan shores We should have
demanded that England submit her
claims to arbitration and we should
have forced her to do so. If diplomatic
protests were not needed there should
have been American marines in Cor
into to prevent the invasion. The Mon
roe doctrine expresses the policy of the
United States, as it does the sentiment
of its people, and this is violation of
the spirit of that doctrine. No Euro
pean country can be permitted to get
into a position to control the Near
aguan canal, and 1t would have saved
trouble in the future If our government
had drawn the line there.
Let a war with the United States be
the consequence of aggression on this
continent, and there will be no aggres-
sions."
