ANOTHER
CASE OF
BLACKMAIL

Mr.. and Mrs j. Rafferty,, of the
BLY, vaudeville show house in this
city, have received two threatening
letters written by some person un-
known, which demand that Mr.. Raf-
ferty place $500 at designated spot
some time between the hours of 3
and D. M, and that in case he
should fail to comply with the order,
himself. wife and little girl would
suffer Disagreement for life from
acid thrown upon them.
Mr. Rafferty,, as soon as the letters
came into his hands, turned them
over to the manager of the theater,
Mr. BLY,, who put them in the hands
of Constable Ira Hamiltpn. Con-
stable Hamilton is working on the
case, and although he is not positive
that he has the right party in sight,
he has ferreted the case out until he
is warm"
Last Thursday evening as Mr.. Raj
ferty was entering his room with his
family after the show, one of the
letters was found stuck under his
door, and shortly afterward another
letter came to him through the mail.
The letters are as follows:
Salem, Oregon June 1909.
"Mr. Rafferty,.
leave $500 dollars under the mill
st. Side walk Iirst crossing from the
bridge to your wright going over
from Main street (evidently meaning

Salem, oregon June 1909.
Mr.. Rafferty,,

lars at Mill street at first crossing

ing down between 3 and o'clock
and your wife and boy will be re-
turned safe, otherwise will disfigure
them both for life.
(Signed) Yours"
IL is evident upon a comparison
OF these letters that the last one,
which was sent through the mail
was intended to come at some later
date. owing to the fact Il insinuates
that the wife and baby had been kid
naped by the writer, and that the
letter was sent as further precautlon
In case the money was not delivered
The handwriting was very poor, be-
ing apparently laboriously written.
The paper on which the threats were
written was from a tablet OF ordinary
size and unclean.

fair occurring in Salem, but the off
GERS are after the culprit and II he
should be caught there will be an

80 years old and unmarried. He

WASHINGTON LETTER
News From Our Busy Capital

The Republican party had
undertaken to recast the tariff
schedules, and it shonld do some
thing positive to redeem it's pied
ges and to meet obvious public
expectations. The weakness of
the Senate bill as it stands to-day
is that it represents no sufficiently
definite change from the Dingley
programme, and with this pro-
gramme the country has express
ed dissatisfaction in unmistakable
language. The Senate bill should
offer some evidences of rational
adjustment to present conditions
which can be grasped and accept
ed by the public.

Accident on Work Train.

Capt. Guy, in charge of the
work train which is engaged in
filling in the trestle over Little
Pee Dee. was seriously and pro-
badly fatally injured by the break
ing of a heavy draw chain Friday
morning. The train was dis
charging load of dirt at the tres
tie when the accident occurred.
The scraper which drags the dirt
from the flat cars is attached to
the engine by heavy iron chain.
When all is in readiness the en-:
einc is detached from the fiat cars
and moves slowly forward, tight
ening the chain and putting the
scraper in motion. Capt. Guy was
standing near the chain at a point
between the Scraper and the en-
gine when without warning the
chain snapped and one of the heavy
links struck him in the abdomen.
1t was terrific blow and he fell
to the ground helpless. The in
jured man was brought to town
immediately and the local Coast
Line surgeon, DR.. B. NJ. Badger,
was summoned. Suffering in.
tensely he was taken to High.
smiths hospital at Fayetteville
Faiday night. His injuries are
internal and it will be several DAYS
yet before he is out of danger.

Announcement is made that at
the State Department prepara-

p!etc readjustment of our trade
relations with the nations of the
world, to follow the enact
ment of the new tariff law. In
view of the introduction of the
maximum, minimum policy into
our tariff law, many treaties and
arrangements covering trade re-
lations will of necessity be abro-
gated and new ones must be
negotiated. AT present the U
nited States has trade agreements
with France, Germany, Italy,
Spain. Portugal and Holland
and it will be necessary, on the
new law, to give notice to these
governments that the present
agreements must be terminated
and new ones arranged The n.
grecment with France can be a
brogated by either party at any
time without notice, but those
with Italy, Spain, Portugal, and
Holland require notice of one year
from either government, and this
notice will be server by this gov
ernment Immediately on the
passage of the new tariff law.
The agreement with Germany is
the one arranged by President
Roosevelt on June 1st, 1907. Un-
der this agreement it will be ne
cessary for this government to
give Germany six months not
ice before another arrangement
can be effected.
