directly in front of Mrs. Orvis and fol-
lowed her to the door. Mrs. Orvis was
about to shake hands with Mr.. Hal
sey when Pool pulled a revolver, firing
three shots in rapid succession, one
bullet entering the heart, causing In
stant death. Mrs. Orvis fell into the

EACH CONFIDENT
OF His ELECTION
CANDIDATES FOR SENATOR
REST ON OARS
OREGON DEMOCRAT MAY GET
NOMINATION
Republican Legislature Is Confronted
with Probability of Being Com
PEELED to Send Democrat ,
to Washington
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, May 31.-Each ex-
pressing confidence that when the bal
lots are counted he will be the popular
choice for United States senator of
Oregon, Governor Chamberlain, Demo-
crat, and Judge Heury M. Cake, Re-
publican, are tonight resting after an
arduous campaign of six weeks and
awaiting the morrow's election.
The elections in Oregon, which once
in four years attract national attention
because they occur five months before
the presidential election, are this year
more interesting because of the anom-
alous situation in which the next
legislature may find itself.
The next legislature will, it is reas-
onably certain, be Republican. OF
these Republicans the primaries of last
April developed that about forty, in
cluding the holdovers, will certainly be
signers of statement No. pa pre-
election pldege morally obligating the
legislators to vote for the candidate for
United States senator receiving the
greatest popular vote tomorrow.
In accordance with these some of the
Republican candidates for the legisla-
ture have since the primaries aligned
themselves in the Statement No. l"
column.
There being little doubt that the ac-
L1OTl OIL the next legislature Will De gov
erned by Republican signers of "state-
ment No. 1" and there being a possi-
bility that Governor Chamberlain, a
Democrat, will receive the popular
nomination for United States senator,
1t is not at all unlikely that a Repub-
lican legislature will be confronted
with the moral obligation of choosing
Democrat for the office.
Judge Cake is a lawyer of many
years residence in Portland, but has
taken very little part In politics.; has
held no offices and except among MEM
bers of his profession is little known
outside of Portland.
Both men In soliciting the favors Of
the electorate agree to aid in the carry
ing out of President Roosevelt S
theories
Besides nominee for United States
senator there will be elected two con-
gressmen. In the First district w. c.
Hawley, the Republican incumbent, will
be reelected. His race is uncontested.
In the Second district Congressman A
r. Fills, Republican, of UmatilIa county
will probably be returned by the usual
Republican majority.
Judge Rober. s. Bean, incumbent,
the Republican-De Democratic candidate
for state supreme judge, will be re-
elected.
In addition to Judge Bean the only
state officers which will be elected this
year are dairy and food commissioner
and a railroad commissioner.

made.
Mr.. Cleveland left his room, and un-
aided descended the steps for the frst
time in seven weeks Leaning on a
cane ne walked to the door of the hotel,

GREAT FALLS, Mont, May 31.-The
holdup last night of the north bound
Great Northern train at the stockyards,
about a mile and half from this city,
was the work of three boys, who now
occupy cells in the city jail.
A fourth youth who admits having
assisted in planning the holdup, but
took no active part, is also prisoner.
The quartet have made complete con-
fession to the police.
The names of the four boys are AL
bert Hatch, aged Is; William Randall,
II; Harry Rheams, 5, and George Cress-
well, Is.
According to the story told by Ran
dali, Rheams and CressWell, the holdup
was planned and carried out under the
generalship of Hatch, the youngest of
the four, who is said to have turned the
switch. ordered the engineer to back
up and to have gone through the pas
senger coaches with the conductor,
forcing the latter at the point of a gun
to collect from the passengers.
According to the other boys, it was
also Hatch who shot William Dempsey
and narrowly missed shooting Conduc-
tor Jack Hayes.
Rheams states that Hatch, after they
had left the scene of the holdup, pro-
posed that they cross Sun river to the
Montana Central line and hold up pas
senger train No. 236 from Butte, which
was due in two or three hours. Be
cause he demurred, Rheams states
Hatch drew his revolver and threatened
to kill him. He was dissuaded from the
second attempt at train robbery by the
two youths who were with him.
The stories told by the boys, with the
exception of Hatch, agreed in the main
details. They state that the holdup
was planned two nights before, it being
decided to rob the train on the first

YAQUI NATION PROMISES
TO BECOME PEAcEABLE
Mexican Indians Who Have Carried
on War Internationally for 1870
Years viii Be Law Abid-
ing Citizens

HERMOSILLO, Mexico May 81
After a war which has continued inter
rnittentIy for more than 120 years the
Yaom nation Is about to sever tribal
relations. and it's 10000 members are to
settle down into peaceable and law
abiding Mexican citizens.
on May last Luis Rule. head OF the
Yaqui nation, asked for conference
bv which peace could be arranged.
With ninety-six of his followers he
was met in the Bacatete mountains by
Col. Jose Gonzales Salas and other or
fcers of the Mexican army. The con-
ference lasted three hours and is be-
lieyed to have paved the way to last
ing peace. At first Chief Rule assumed
the aggressive in his demands, but was
evidently prepared to waive them as
occasion demanded. In the end terms
acceptable to both parties were agreed
upon. ,,.,
These provided unconditional sur
render of the Yaquis to the authority
of the government; that the lives and
property of the Indians be respected
and that they be protected In all the
rights and privileges accorded to Mexi-
can citizens under existing laws, pro-
vided. however, for the time being they
must not go north of Ores; that all
arms and munitions of war in the
hands of the Indians be delivered to
the military authorities; that emissaries
he sent to different Yaqui bands advis-
ing them to cease hostilities and de-
liver up their arms, and that the gov
ernment provide all necessaries for the
submitting Indians until such time as
work can be provided for them.
Chief Rule, expressing himself as sat
isfied with the terms proposed, said he
believed his people would accept them
IL enough time WIS given to unite all
families and pasties, so as to present
themselves in a body. He fixed June
15 as the date upon which the united
neople present themselves for ratifica-
tion of the terms of settlement.
That the Indians are acting in good
faith is evidenced by the surrender of
bands to the different authorities. Sew
eral already have given themselves up
The government, however, is taking no
chances, and is preparing for eventual
tiles on June Is in case any should
occur. Troops are being massed In the
district with all possible haste and the
officials, both civil and military, are
awaiting June Is with feverish anxiety
The cost of the prolonged warfare to
both Indians and the government, as
we'll as to the residents of the district
in which 1t has been waged. has beer
tremendous. Great wrongs have beer
committed on both sides, but so far as
can be learned the present administra'
tive officers are not at fault. The loss
of life can never be computed, but 1t Is
known to be enormously large, and the
loss in property will easily reach
$50 900, ,000

CURRENCY COMMISSION
HOLDS FIRST Meeting
Outline Submitted by Aldrich Shows
Country VIII Receive Benefit Of -
Thorough Examination
of Banking

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The cur
rency commission appointed yesterday
by Vice President Fairbanks and
Speaker Cannon under the terms of the
Aldrich-Vreeland bill held it's first
meeting today.
While the meeting was only for the
purpose of organization there was
general discussion of plans. and 1t can
be stated that if the outline submitted
by Senator Aldrich is perfected by the
work of the commission the country
will be given the benefit of such q thor
ough investigation and complete an
exposition of currency and banking as
it has never before received.
The commission organized by electing
Senator Aldrich as chairman and Rep
resentative Vreeland as vice chairman,
thus recognizing in the two executive
offices the coauthors of the law under
which the commission was appointed.
Arthur Shelton, clerk of the senate
committee on finance, was chosen Sec
retary, and it was agreed the house
members should be permitted to desig-
nate an assistant secretary, but he was
not named today.
Senator Aldrich expressed the opin-
ion that the country would expect from
the organization a very complete pre-
sentation of the financial subject based
upon investigations to be made not
only in the United States but also in
the financial centers of Europe. and
no dissenting voice was heard in the
entire membership of eighteen repre-
sentatives and senator's.
1t was the general opinion that the
commission would continue it's exist
ence for at least three or four years.
and the opinion was expressed that the
investigation would prove as important
for this country as did that of the
old bullion commission for Great Brit
ain. The discussion today resulted in
the appointment of committee OF six
to formulate a plan of action. This
subcommittee will meet in New York
about the middle of June and prepare
plans to be presented to a meeting
of the full commission to be held at
some seaside resort on the New Eng
land coast about July Is.
