PRIVATE DETECTIVES AT WORK
Baker People Hopeful From New
Sleuths Employed.

BAKER CITY, Oct. 16.--There are
Brown murder Investigations Or if
there are. the sleuths who are working
on the case are giving out no informa-
ton. For the benefit Of citizens who
are complaining because of the appar-
ent inability of those in charge of the
work to get results, Captain Swain
states that he is working upon several
matters which he cannot divulge at
this time.
If Captain Swain is doing any in
vest gat ng in any particular line, he is
acting most secretly. He spends most
OF his time daytimes In his room, ana
at night is usually to be found about
the hotel Office. 1t is reported that the
Spokane man has large number of
detectives engaged here-how large
number even the county officials do not
know. -s,.A- --,ap
1t is reported here that no less than
four private detectives are working Sc
cretly on the case solely for the re-
wards. These men are jealousy
guarding whatever evidence they may
have found, and are not even making
reports to the county officials. Gener-
ally the citizens here are more hopeful
of results from these men who are
quietly working than from the detec-
tives directly employed by the county.

ROTH SIDES
ARE CONFIDENT
Rattle of. Proxies still In
DOubt at illinois Central
Meeting.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The annual
heating of the Illinois Central, in
,,,bicb warm contest is expected for
the control between Fish and Harri-
man. opened at noon. The contest for
nroxies continued almost up to the
bour of meeting.
The followers of Hartman declare
there is no probability of his losing
control of the meeting, claiming he
will have votes to carry anything
through he wishes.
Fish expressed himself confident of
the outcome, but said there were so
many changes in the proxies that no
one could tell how things stood with
exactness.
The meeting of stockholders, by res
olution, will be open to the press,
The opening of the Illinois Central
stockholders meeting was delayed a
long time by the dispute of the Fish
and Hartman attorneys as to the
third member of a committee of three
appointed to pass upon the proxies.
The private secretaries of Fish and
Hartman were selected to act for their
principals, and the appointment was
left to Judge Ball.
When Fish entered the building he
was greeted with applause. He went
to the table where Harahan sat and
placed his hands on Harahan's shoul-
I
Harahan shrugged his shoulders and
tossed off the arm impatiently reply
ing that he did not care to talk to Fish.
The latter turned away with "a smile
and resumed his seat among the stock
holders.
E. S. Conway of Chicago was agreed
upon as the third member of the proxy
committee, and a recess was taken un-
til $3.50 p. m.

IRISH DIPLOMAT
NOW ENROUTE
Loyal SympathizerS Will
Give him Warm Welcome
In AmeriCa

DUBLIN, oct 16.-Sir Anthony Pat
rick MacDonnell. under secretary to
the lord lieutenant of ireland, sailed
today for New York. He will spend
about a month in the United States,
Wis ing first the New England states,
afte" which he will become the guest
of James Bryce, the British ambassa-
dor, It washington.
1t Is stated that the visit of the un-
der secretary 10 the United States has
no political or diplomatic bearing. but
he VIII meet many men of influence in
terested in the welfare of Ireland and
VIII doubtless expound the merits of
tle Irish policy
1t IS well known that Sir Anthony is
responsible for the devolution idea
and the principle feature of the Irish
council bill, and it was his confident
hope that the country would insist on
the Irish party accepting the measure.
He persuaded the chiefs of government
to this effect. and was much chagrined
by the rejection of the bill by the Irish
national convention.
The strength of action shown by the
party is attributed by Sir Anthony to
assurances of support received by it
at the critical moment from America
and Australia, and consequently IL AM
erican opinion on the devolution policy
were modified the change would be
highly welcome to the under secretary.
Although his visit to the United States
is to be private, Sir Anthony will
doubtless explain the reasons of his
policy to such politicians of influence
as he may chance to meet
At the present time, the devolution
idea is outside the field of practical
politics but William O'Brien, in re-
cent speech at Cork advocated the
Irish council bill as a measure which
will have given three -fourths of the
Irish government into the hands OF
Irishmen, thus reviving the hopes of
the supporters of the bill.

MURDER CHARGE
NOW BROUGHT
Suspect ArreSteG Here Re-
turned to SC ne Of
the vrime.

Sheriff Harry Lydon last night plac-
ed under arrest a stranger charged
with the murder of Matthew Wolfe, an
Indian, at Culdesac. The arrest was
made upon the arrival of the Culdesac
train, telephone message having been
received from the Culdesac officers
asking for the detention of the man
suspected of the crime.
Matthew Wolfe is young Indian.
aged about 25 years, and a resident of
the Cottonwood creek section. He
was about Culdesac yesterday morn
ing and was drinking in the saloons.
He was accompanied by the white
man. and they were afterwards seen
near the N. P. depot and a barn in
which the body of the Indian was
found at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A message received today from Gull
desac is to the effect that view is
entertained there that the Indian came
to his death from the effects of poison,
and it is believed the purport of the
crime was robbery, as 1t was known
he had abou $50 while about the sa-
looms in the morning.
An inquest will be held at 4 o'clock
this afternoon and will be attended by
County Physician Hurlbut, who will
conduct a post-mortem examination to
determine the cause of death.
1t is stated the man arrested by
Sheriff Lydon last night told that he
was in the company of the Indian and
that they were drinking about the Gull
desac saloons. He says they went into
the barn together and went to sleep,
The man claims he had a bottle of
hairdressing in his hip pocket, and
when he awoke it was missing, but the
empty bottle was on the barn floor. He
believes the Indian secured the bottle
from his pocket while he was asleep
and perhaps drank the contents.
County Physician Hurlbut left at
noon for Culdesac and will conduct
the examination there this evening.

HOWES MOVING PICTURES
viii be Attraction at Opening Of
Central Opera House Sept. q.
REPAIRS NEARLY FINISHED
Hagerstown Manager Here Looking
After Progress of Work Under Di-
rection of Lessee Boyer.

The Central Opera house will open
for the season on Wednesday evening,
September 4.
This announcement is made on the
authority of Mr.. Charles C. Baker, OF
Hagerstown, who will be local man
ager of the opera house this season,
and who was here looking after
the extensive improvements now near
ing completion in the theater.
The opening attraction will be
Howe's Moving Pictures, now filing a
most successful months engagement
in Baltimore.
While there may be some who will
feel disappointed that the opening at
traction is not to be some sort of a
play with plenty of catchy music. it
may be stated that moving pictures
are popular everywhere and none SO
much so as Howe's which, Mr.. Baker
said today, are drawing the biggest
kind of houses in Baltimore, and the
show is sure to draw well here.
1t was expected that the improve
ments going on in the opera house
would all be completed before the OPP
ening-except, perhaps, the repairs to
the heating system; but if they are
not quite finished the house will be
opened to the public anyhow next
Wednesday evening, as stated above.
As this paper told a week ago, the
interior of the opera house has under
gone many changes in appearance late.
ly, transforming it into a thing of
beauty if not a joy forever.
Mr.. Charles w Boyer. of Haeers-
town, the new lessee of the theater.
has made these improvements at his
own expense and, therefore, deserves
a special measure of credit.

DAWSON SAID TO BE POOR.
Money He Made as Secretary of State
Said to Have Dwindled Away.

Charleston, Aug. 2S.-"Is Governor
Dawson rich?' asks the Gazette, which
proceeds to answer the query al fol-
lows:
The question has been often asked
and almost as often answered in the
affirmative, but a man who is in close
touch with the governor and who is
presumably in touch with his personal
affairs, yesterday made the assertion
that the executive is a poor man, and
that were his assets and liabilities
placed in columns side by side either
would about balance the other.
1t is admitted hat Mr.. Dawson left
the office of secretary of state with a
good-sized bank account, but it is said
now that he spent the greater part
Of it in his campaign for governor,
and that now he has but little avail
able money. He has a number of in
terests but most Of them have not been
producing actual money of recent
years, and that as a private citizen he
would find difficulty at this time in
making both ends meet were it not
for his influence and the fact that he
has friends with money who would
gladly help him out.
1t has been said that the visit of
the executive to Colorado was taken
because the expenses of the trip were
paid by the mining company interested
in introducing to fasteners what they
have in mining property just out of
Denver. Mr.. Dawson is said to have
remarked that he wanted to take a
vacation this fall, but that he did not
expect to do so because of the scarcity
of money at this time. He acknowl-
edged that he has some good stocks
and that some of his holdings woulo
bring him a nice sum in the future.
but at this time he was hard up. so
far as ready money is concerned.

At Conference.

At a meeting of representatives OF
machinists employed by the Baltimore

Southwestern, held Monday in Balti-

per cent. raise in wages, although the
exact wording of the demand was E-t
settled, and another conference is be-
ing held today.
There are about 1000 men employed
by the two railroads represented by
the conference. The conference and the
negotiations are being conducted by
Mr.. A, F. Stark, the business manager
of the International Association OF Ma
chinists, who said he thought that the
raise would be granted, as men doing
similar work have received a raise
from nearly every railroad of tho
country.
Superintendent Brantner, Of the To-
cal shops, secured an increase for the
men here a short time ago, and there
is no demand from them at this tim
for a raise,

SUIT FOR WRECK SERVICES.
Physician Asks $685. for Attending
Victims of Terra Gotta Wreck.

DR.. Harrison Crook, of Washington,
through his attorneys, has entered
suit in the District Supreme court to
recover $6.561 from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Co. for unpaid profess
sional services in treating victims of
the Terra Gotta wreck, December 10,
1906.
DR.. Crook, in his petition, says that
he is a physician. and has been en-
gagged in the practice of medicine and
surgery in the District for 80 years.
About the time of the train wreck at
Terra Gotta, DIR. Crook alleges that he
was employed by the company to rem
der professional services in aid of the
injured.
1t is alleged that the company in
making settlement of claims for dam
ages with most of the patients agreed
to pay for their medical treatment. DR..
Crook adds to his petition an itemized
statement of the charges made upon
each patient under his care. The com
pany, it is alleged, has refused and
neglected to settle the physicians
claim.
