Rumors were started on the street
Saturday that Judge Tillinghast' S
death was caused by poison, foully
administered. In order to determine
the truth of the rumors, an autopsy
was held by Drs. Reynold, Clark
and Cummings. The result of their
examination proved the rumoIs TO be
without foundation; that death was
caused by gangrene of the pancreas.
Shortly before his death Mr.. Til
linghast made will in which half
Of his estate was left to his widow
and the balance to his grandson,
Heonard Audley, to be held in trust
until he becomes of age. The es-
tate is roughly estimated at $1,000,
consisting of 20 acres of bench land,
I, homestead south of Falks Store
and personal property. Jess Haw-
ley of Boise was named as executor.
Mir. Hawley does not desire to ac-
Cept the position, and P. Monroe
Smock of New Plymouth is being
talked of as his successor.

HEPBURN BLOCKS REVISION
Proposal to Begin With Wool sched-
ule Not Pleasing.

Observation-Disclosures the Senate
is practically agreed, to all outward
appearances, that the tariff ought to
be revised schedule by schedule,
there will be no revision this season.
There are numerous reasons why this
is 80. but Senator Hepburn. of Idaho,
is opposed to any modification Of the
Payne-Aldrich bill this winter. and
that reason alone is sufficient to pre-.
vent legislation.
So great are the filibustering abili.
ties Of the senior Senator from Idaho
that the Senate will not seriously at
tempt to pass any kind of tariff
bill in the limited time now at its
disposal.
