There was a stabbing ARRAY among

late by friends and given into the Gus

ARREST ASSASSIN SOON

Spokane, Wash, Oct. IS. The
police department was bending every
energy yesterday to prove the assas
sination theory in the murder Of Reno
Hutchinson, secretary of the Y. NJ.
G. A., who was killed at Seventh
avenue and Howard street at 8 o'clock
Monday night. Late last evening a
Thiel agency man ventured the guess
that an arrest would be made in "a
hours.
II became known that Chief Waller
and his detectives we're harbOring the
theory that sweetheart Of Mrs. Hut.
Crimson OF the years preceding her
marriage, had become crazed and had
committed the horrible crime.
Detectives employed by the Thiel
and Pinkerton agencies, for the first
time, we're also working on the same
theory. Captain Swain, head Of the
Thiel agency, declined TO discuss tbs
matter at length, but admitted that
his original theory that the murder
was the work of holdup men had beer

DIFFERENCES ADJUSTED

The mo t engrossing subject to the

city was the question of whether the
orders of the Grand Master of the
Odd Fellows we're TO rank above those
of the Presiden5 # the Rebekahs, and
after almost year of wrangling tie
question was settled beyond doubt by
the almost unanimous vote of the
Grand Lodge. This question has
been the eye sore of the lodges since
the matter first came up
The trouble arose some time ago
when Purity Lodge # Rehekahs, of
Boise, overstepped themselves in rit-
ual work when making limitations.
The rules of the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows State explicitly that 20 sub
ordinate lodge or the Grand Lodge
shall add to or take from the regular
prescribed services. This lodge add
ed several word tableaus, and while
theirs is said to be the finest degree
work ever seen in the state, the
grand master would not permit this
infringement of the rules, and dur
ing the past recess, suspended the
lodge. The president of the Rebek-
abs became incensed at what she
termed an infringement on her rights
and privileges AMI Immediately rein
stated the lodge. From that time on
the lodge was not recognized by the
Grand Lodge and when it sent dele
gates to the State assembly held in
this city, they were admitted by tbs
president of the Rebekahs, but not re
cognized by Grand Master Emerson.

BECOME NATIONAL QUESTION
Valuables JewelPY in Hands Of
Custom Officers.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Believed to be
the gift of Emperor William to an
other titled person, a gold case stud
ed with diamonds and emblazoned
with the initial "W," surmounted
by the imperial crown of Germany, is
in the hands of the customs officers of
the port.
Hugo Lederer of this city, who was
a passenger on the liner Dutschland,
brought the box with him and his
failing to declare it to the customs
officers resulted in its seizure Led
erer stated that while travelling in
Australia he stopped at the capital
and made the acquaintance of a wom-
an who appeared to be in somewhat
reduced circumstances. She be-
sought him to buy the ticket that
showed that the jewel box was in
pawn and Laderer investigated and
found the costly trinket. The only
way he can regain possession of the
box is by paying the value appraised
by the examiners. In the meantime
it may become an international ques-
ton, as representatives of the Ger
man government have started an in
vestigation.
