LEFT CASH ID WOMAN
Four Arrests In Baker Tragedy
 Are Expected Today.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ACT.
Relatives Believe Murder of Boston CIubman Was Result of Plot to Get Possession of His s1,ooo,0oo Fortune. Woman Demanded $500.

Bogota, x. l.. Nov. 5.-Armed with evidence obtained from Pinkertons, Ernest w. Rooster. district attorney of Bergen county. announced that he was ready to take immediate steps to clear up the mystery surrounding the sud den death of Walter F. Baker, the young Boston clubman.
 From other sources it was learned that as a result of the district attor- ney's investigation four arrests in the case are expected within the next twelve hours. And among those who may be taken into custody are a man and a woman who were known to Mir. Baker.
 Accumulating evidence convinced Ed ward F. Baker of Boston, brother of the dead man. that the latter died a victim of a plot to get his wealth. As a part of the web in which the club man was finally trapped Mir Baker mentioned a letter written to his broth CT by woman and peremptOrily de- manding the payment of $J0n.
 Hurds Refuse to Talk.
 The guard of Pinkertons which has been watching the home of a man at BOgota has been doubled. MT. and Mrs. Frank Hurd and Mrs. Young. who accompanied Baker in an autOmO- bile from New York to the Hurf house on the night of his death. remained home for a private musicale.
 Mir. Hurd was asked if he had hear,l the report that a woman had asked Mir. Baker for financial help. Before he could reply Mrs. Hurd said:
 "Our lawyer. MarCum Lawrence of 12O Broadway. has instructed us to say nothing about this matter Ev- erythinz will be explained when the time C0mes-
 Another strong indication. in the opinion of Edward F. Baker. that his brother was the victim of a plot to ob- tain his property was the discovery of the dead mans will. in which he cuts of his relatives and deefs his wealth to intimate fr5e8Is- The will is nSW I1 the bands of Frank '.

show that the estate will amount to more than $1,000,000. It has previously been estimated 1t S350.OOO

 been estimated at S350000.
 It is known that the only link in the chain of evidence not yet forged is positive proof of the guilty cOpartner- ship between the woman and man who are being watched.
 The theory the detectives have well nigh established is that Baker was murdered in accordance with plot to gain possession of fv.tune left to him on the death of his mother last winter. It was learned from an au- thOritative source that following the discovery of the will its contents were read, and the fact was brought to light that more than S1.O00.OO0 is in- volved in the case. a considerable part of which sum was bequeathed by Ba- ker to a woman who is not related to the family.

CONSTITUTION
ORGANIZATION OF TRUE RUS
SIAN PEOPLE HAS FOR ITS OBJ
JEcT PERPETUATloN OF OLD
DEsPoTlc REGIME.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 3O.-The
Union of True Russian People, an or
ganization of those favoring the per-
petuation of the old despotic regime
in Russia, has appointed a fanatic
priest Father Vestergoff, as the head
Of deputation which will wait upon
the czar tomorrow and petition him to
withdraw his manifesto of October 30,
1905, granting constitution to Russia
That the purposes of the union are
looked upon with favor by the emperor
is apparently shown by the fact that
he recently issued a manifesto allow
ing the badges of the organization to
be openly worn. The sympathies of
the czar for the reactionaries was also
shown when he pardoned Michalin, a
member of the union, who had mur-
dered in cold blood revolutionist
named Baumann while the latter was
parading the streets carrying a red
flag.
What action the czar will take on
the petition to be presented tomorrow
is not known, but arrangements have
been made at the imperial palace to
receive the deputation with every
courtesy. The constitutionalists will
celebrate the anniversary of the man
ifesto with elaborate demonstrations.

Flintlock Musket Found on the Vel

HELENA, Mont, Oct. SO.-A. Ro-
gan of this city is refusing very fancy
prices for an old fiintlock musket
which he picked up this summer
along the Yellowstone river, in the
county of the same name and accord
ing to all accounts, in the trail of
Lewis and Clark.
The weapon had a stock of mahog-
any. which was badly rotted Cabi-
net makers declare that such a piece
of wood should last 100 years, and it
is the belief of Mr.. Rogan that the
pusket was owned by a member of
the Lewis and Clark party.
The weapon was made in Lancaster,
Pa, and persons who have examined
1T declare that no firearms like 1t have
been made for more than a century.

BURNING OF J. N. TEAL WILL
NOT BADLY INFLUENCE RIVER
TRAFFIC, AS ANOTHER STEAM.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Oct. 3d.
Joseph 7. Peters of The Dalles, a
member of the executive committee of
the Open River Transportation corr
pany. which owned the j. N. Teal,
burned at the Oak street dock, Port
land, was in the city today on business
connected with the company, says the
Bulletin.
He stated this afternoon that while
the burning Of the Teal would prove
great inconvenience TO the company
and would cause some delay, it would
have no great effect on their future
plans for opening up the river to
transportation. 1t is probable that
either the Spencer or the Telephone
win be leased within a few days to
take the place of the Teal between
Portland and Portage Road for few
months while the burned boat is being
rebuilt. AS it is insured for about
two-thirds of its cost. the only loss
to the company win be that of time
The Relief will continue to make her
regular trips between Kennewick and
Cello. and it is thought that another
boat will be placed in commission be-
fore too much freight piles up there.

THE SUSPENSION
But TEMPORARY
LOCAL INAcTIoN ONLY PART OF
GENERAL ORDER WHICH is sx-
PECTED TO BE MODIFIED TO
MEET PARTICULAR CASES.

The construction work on the O. r.
q n. railroad bridge was temporarily
suspended late yesterday afternoon in
compliance with a general order issued
from the Hartman Offices 10 suspend
all new construction on all sections of
the Hartman system.
The order came as a complete sur
prise to all identified with the work
and was not known 10 Superintendent
of Construction Jeffress and Bridge
superintendent Mccoy until they ar
rived in the city this morning on a
trip of inspection from the Elgin
branch, where they viewed the prog
ress of the work being carried on
there.
The suspension of construction is
generally viewed by railroad men as
only on temporary character, and as
soon as the various features of the
work nearly completed can be segre-
gated from the general plans of new
construction it is believed the orders
will be received to complete the Lew
Indicative of the strong belief of
railroad men in such decision, the
crew of steel men and all equipment
used by the contracting firm of Nc
Cleary & Willard, who are building
| the bridge, will be held here in readi-
/ ness to resume work on short notice.
1t is estimated the cost of complet-
ing the bridge will not exceed $1,000,
the entire cost of the structure being
more than 100000 All of the pier
work is completed; the first steel spsSl
is in place, and within one days work
the steel would have been extended
to the draw span. The construction of
the draw span would have required
about two weeks and from the south
draw pier to the south abutment the
! false work has been practically in
stalled by Engineer w. D. Simmons.
This work is of the most substantial
character and was intended to carry
the heavy trains of regular traffic
pending the completion of the steel
work to the south abutment but un-
less operations are resumed at an
early date all features of the false con
struction will be swept away by the
first rise in the river.
The joint compact with the Northern
Pacific to construct this section of
road to be turned into the Oregon,
Washington and Idaho Railroad in
corporation as a holding company, is
also believed to be a condition that
win fake imperative the completion
of all features of the road at this time.

Miners WAGES
ALL Lowered
DECLINE IN COPPER RESPONSE
BILE FOR SLIDING SCALE PUT
IN EFFECT BY ANAL LeAMATED
IN ITS MONTANA PROPERTY.

BUTTE, Oct. 30.-The miners union
and the smeltermen's union have re-
ceived notices from the Amalgamated
Copper and other mining companies
that the old SCALE of wages in force
before the agreement on the sliding
scale was made, viii be restored No
vember l, in compliance with the
contracts entered into by the COM
panies and the labor unions Of Butte,
and the notices have been posted in
the halls of the organizations. A
meeting of the miners union was held
last night and the matter referred to
a committee. The union issued a
statement some time ago 10 the effect
that It will abide by the contract made
with the miners.
The reduction viii be made from 81
a day to $3.50. the scale before the
raise. The miners might have reduced
the wages TO the old scale a month
ago. copper already then being below
IS cents, but the companies preferred
to leave the wages untouched until it
should be evident that copper would
stay below IS cents for while The
reduction to the lower scale will apply
to all workmen at the mines save the
machinists' union. whose members
have been on strike for months and
which organization never signed the
contract for sliding scale,
About 1000 men are involved.
