It.was also asserted that Brooks,
was in hiding about the place. True
to the threat uttered when the apos-
ties were told to leave and never re-
turn on pain of worse treatment,
the White Caps were shadowing the
house in the hunt for the apostles.
It was perhaps 10 o'ceock or af-
ter, when a vehicle could be heard
approaching from the eastward.
The creak Of the carriage springs,
and the hooffalls of the horses in
muddy roads was heard.
Three men had stood in the road
along the, fence for some time
watching the house, but at the ap-
proach Of the traveller they seereted
, themselves in the orchard or
beneath the trees at the roadside.
The carriage passed to spot in
front Of the house. and there it
stopped. 1t had a single occupant
who threw out several quilts and
buggy robes that had apparently

river, and thence over the ferry to

road and passed to spot a short
dis.ande in front of the house. A

clutches.

| It was three harmless and lor-

Different stories are aaoat as to
what they did to Frank Hurt, and
no direct statement can be made
here as to what is authentic. The
doings OF the White Caps on Tues
day night were far more secre,ive
than when Gre fia1a and Brooks
were disciplined. One versions is
that when they reached the bridge,
Hurt was ordered to disrobe. and
that he refused point blank TO do
so. Also that he told them that
they were of superior numbers, but
that he would not obey their orders
It is also stated that he finally Sc
cured possession Of a club, and that
with it he forced truce.
Another version is that the cap
tive was given to understand that
two alternatives we're open to him.
and that upon his decision rested
the result. These were that be

Holy Roller headquarters and de-
sist from the late manifestations, or
that he must take tar and feathers.
Also, that be said that he would
never give up his religion, but that
be would hereafter live within such
regulations as would put an end to
the Holy Roller troubles, That
one or the other, or part of beth
the above versions happened, is
GER ain. Hurt was captured some
where on the streets, aft-r he had
brought the vehicle t, the livery
stable. He had arranged with the
ferryman to leave a small boat on
the Corvallis side of the river, go
that he might return from Corval-
lis to the Beach house without
calling the ferryman. His capture
and abduction was 80 quietly effec-
ted, that neither Chief Lane nor
Officer Osburn were aware of it,
though both were on duty until
midnight or after.

Foreign Nations Becoming Highly

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Jan. 27.-The Journal
of Commerce says:
Several events Of late occurrence
have pointed more clearly than ever
before to the fact that reciprocity has
reached point where it can no longer
be made shield of defense against
proposals to revise the tariff. Taken
in connection with the approaching
presidential election, it would appear
certain that the parting Of the ways
has been reached. Even politicians
must now be compelled to do some
thing toward making reciprocity real
or else throw off the mask altogether
and lay the, policy once for all upon
the shelf.
The situation would be of less con-
sequence If 1t were not for the fact
that the prospect for reciprocity with
other countries seems to be rapidly
diminishing. The unfavorable outlook
in Canada, the threatening attitude
of European countries, including
Great Britain, and protests filed
against our treaty with Cuba as vio-
]ating the most favored nation agree
ments with foreign nations, all show
clearly that foreign dissatisfa elton
with our exclusive course In CONNER
cial matters is increasing.''

WILL BUILD GOOD ROADS

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Jan. 27.-Before start
ing for home to-day, Professor w. M.
Hays, of the Minnesota Agricultural
college, said he believed the time near
at hand when government aid will be
given to road building. There prob
ably will be no legislation in this ses-
sion of. congress, but within the next
two or three years Professor. Hays
looks for something to be done along
the line Of bills now pending. Work
this session will be largely education
al. President Roosevelt warmly in
dorses the idea, as do many leading
men in congress.
Professor Hays has been here at
tending the National Good Roads con-
mittees of congress yesterday, to out
line his views. The government will
engage in this work for the purpose Of
facilitating the delivery Of rural mails,
and for the larger reason that some
thing ought to be done to preserve the
equilibrium Of population, wealth and
education between country and city.
For years the cities have been grow
ing rapidly, but the country has not
held its own. Roadways have had
more to do with this than any other
thing. Country schools especially,
have suffered. With the Inauguration
of the good roads movement on ma
tional scale, Professor Hays sees the
prospects of the consolidation Of rural
schools, in all parts Of the country,
along the lines made possible by good
roads in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Farm values in these states, adjacent
to good roads are increasing in value
more rapidly than anywhere else in
the middle west.

dent that there could only be one YER
diet, SO if Wright was determined on
self-destruction in the event of his
conviction he had time to prepare a
method of outwitting the jailers, as he
must have foreseen that an adverse
verdict was inevitable.
Foretold the Sentence.
a. A strange document was found on
the seat in the court which had been
occupied by Wright, showing that he
had premonition Of his sentence.
This was a sheet of blotting paper
on which he had scrubbed during the
Justices summing up. The Roman
characters VIZ were thickly scat

before the verdict, but the number CO.
ncides with the sentence he received.

The opposition papers continue
making trenchant comments on the
government, which, they say de
clined to do it's duty for reasons now
shown to have been absurd in law
and which are always repugnant to
common sense"
The handling of this matter" says
the Westminster Gazette, has reflect-

than it's other Mistakes, with even

people were involved and some Of
them have had happy escapes

he chose to conceal he destroyed many
papers, thus completing his sacrifice"

SAY SHAW MAY RESIGN

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington. Jan. 27.-Rumor is
again busy with Secretary Shaw, many
persons saying he will not long re-
main in the cabinet. The reason as
signed for his expected resignation is
friction between himself and the pres
ident as to administrative policies;
and it is said that Of late, growing
out of the necessity for the exercise
Of discipline in the Boston custom
house, the difficulty has increased
rather than disappeared. The action
of the secretary in the investigation
led to the removal of friend of SEN.
ator Lodge by forced resignation.
Lodge has defended the ex-officiar
vigorously, and in doing so he has not
taken care incidentally to make life
a rosy dream for Mr.. Shaw Whether
Shaw resigns at present or not it is
understood he will not remain after
the close of this administration. The
only member Of the present cabinet
who will remain is Secretary Wilson.
There is a possibility that Secretary
Corte1you may also stay, but he has

DEFENSE IS
FIGHTING HARD
CHICAGO EXPERT TESTTFIES
FOR BLYDENBURGH.
Some Delay While the Stomach and
Other Organs of the Dead Woman
Are Returned to the Court by Pro-
lessor Vaughn of Ann Arbor, Mich.

Eldora, Iowa, Jan. 27.-Professor
Vaughn, the Ann Arbor chemist who
analysed the contents of Mrs. Blyden-
burgh's stomach and other organs,
finding traces Of arsenical poisoning,
was ordered back to Eldora to-day,
the defense asserting it could not pro-
coed intelligently until the exhibits
were in court.
This action caused delay until a
late hour when the defense proceeded
with It's evidence, tending to prove
that Mrs. Blydenburgh came to her
death thru natural causes and that
traces of arsenic in the organs were
due to the embalming fluid used by
the undertaken.
Famous Expert.
? The defense secured victory in
the evidence Of DIR. Gibson Of Chicago,
the expert who testified in the famous
the embalming fluid used by the UNI
dertaker in preparing Mrs. Blyden-
burgh's body and testified that it con
tanned a large percentage of arsenic.
Another inning was scored in the
testimony of neighbor woman, who
swore that Blydenburgh did not pre-
pare the meal on the day of his third
wife's death.
Attentive to Another Woman.
The sensational feature Of yester-
day afternoons testimony was when
Miss Ida Alshouse, young school
teacher, denied her engagement to the
defendant. 1t is public rumor that
Miss Alshouse told a young lady friend
that she would have been married ere
this had it not been that Mr. Blyden-
burgh was arrested for his wife's MUIR
der. On cross examination the young
lady told how Blydenburgh had taken
her to and from her school in the
country, and sometimes had remained
and addressed the school, She said
she hired him to do this for her, and
testified that he had called upon her
not later than last Thursday.

EARLY REPLY DEMANDED
Japan Is Opposed to Further Delay
by DinIOmatS

Toxic, Jan. 27.-It seems probable
that some decisive steps will be taken
within the next few days to bring the
dispute with Russia to head.
The Japanese government has diplo-
matically intimated to Baron de Ros-
en-, the Russian minister, that an early
response is desired to Japan's recent
note to Russia.
The popular temper is opposed to
further delay. While many object to
Japan's taking the Initiative, major
lty would now welcome the issuance
Of a brief ultimatum. and a declara-
ton of war If that should prove in
effective. Some outside opinion here
inclines to the belief that the activity
OF the japanese will be limited to the
seizure of Korea, which enterprise, it
is thought, Russia would MT oppose.
The japanese government proceeds
with absolute secrecy and even the
people Of Japan are not informed of
the exact nature Of the demands made
on Russia.
