REALTY OPERATOR SHOOTS
WOMAN, THENS SELF
Prominent Chicago Resident Ends
Romance with Tragedy.
Millionaire Implicated

CHICAGO, July 15.-Charles w. Rig
don, 65 years old, well known for many
years in Chicago real estate circles and
father of Jay A. Rigdon, assistant
cashier of the Hibernian Banking as
sociation, seriously wounded Mrs. En-
ma DeufeX, a young widow, and then
shot and killed himself in the office of
here late today.
Police Inspector LAWN says the
shooting is the outgrowth of ro-
nance in which love and business were
tangled. The police say Mrs. Deufex
has been a close friend of Rigdon for
several years and that Rigdon had
given her money and stocks and then
had quarreled with her. Mrs. Deufex,
say the police, called on Rigdon to
carry out certain alleged promises and,
despite his refusal, persisted in going
to see him in attempting to effect a
settlement.
Mrs. Deufex was accompanied to the
Feber offices. where Rigdon had pri-
vate room. by Miss Mary Wilson of
Binsdale, Ill. Feber talked with the
two women before the shooting, but
the police have been unable to dis
cover the exact conversation that took
place between Rigdon and Mrs. Deufex.
Pending a coroner's inquest, Mrs.
Deufex is being treated under guard
at st. Luke's hospital and Miss Will
son is held a prisoner at the Harrison
street police station.
Feber seems disinclined to talk of
the tragedy. He is rated as a minnion-
aire and is prominent in financial and
real estate circles.

INCREASED RATES
STILL IN EFFECT
Tariff on Cattle and Dressed
Beef Not Suspended by the
Commerce Commission
KNAPP NOTIFIES PACKERS
Chicago Shippers Make Inquiry
Regarding New FreightS
to Be Charged
ASSOCIATED Pressl


WASHINGTON July 15.-The inter
state commerce commission announced
today that the recently filed tariffs
making advances in the freight rates
on cattle and dressed beef between
Chicago and New York had not been
suspended The matter rose through
| an inquiry from an important business
house as to the proposed rates.
The new tariff fixes the rates on cat
tie at 80 cents a hundred pounds and
on dressed beef at so cents a hundred
between Chicago and New York. The
present rates are 2S cents on cattle
and 40 cents on dressed beef. The in
creases will become effective on
August l.
This was one of the advances which
George W. Perkins of the banking
house of j. p Morgan & Co. discussed
with the Chicago shippers with a view
to obtaining their consent to its be-
coming effective. What the result of
Mr.. Perkins negotiations was was not
disclosed definitely at the time.
This afternoon the chairman of the
commission Judge Knapp, authorized
the sending of the following telegram
concerning the cattle and dressed beef
rates to the New York firm.
"Telegrams sent you this morning
should have stated no order suspending
rates on cattle and dressed beef be-
tween Chicago and New York has
been issued. No information as to
whether the tariff referred to has or
has not been suspended. orders show
ing action taken by the commission
will be issued from time to time"
This later action by the commission
does not mean necessarily that the
tariff will be suspended, but it merely
shows that it has not been determined
yet whether it falls within the line of
policy determined on by the commits
sion in the suspension of advanced
rates.

IRRIGATION SAVES CROP
FOR DAKOTA'S FARMERS
Unexpected Demand for Water Is
Quickly Met by Gov
ernment Force

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Farmers in
the western part of North Dakota dur
ing the latter part of last month began
to see the benefits they could receive
from irrigation projects in their vicin-
ity Because of high temperatures and
scorching winds that swept over the
western part of the state the latter part
of June, unirrigated crops were prac-
tically burned up, so that many will not
be worth harvesting, and the best yield
that can be expected on dry land will
not be so per cent of normal, according
to the reclamation service.
But the dry weather caused the
service to be besieged with requests
for water, although few applications
had been made early in the season.
In spite of the heavy demand the
reclamation service by more than
doubling the force of men and by
working the power and pumping ma
chimes at full capacity, despite a linn
tied amount of coal, furnished good
heads of water in practically all cases,
so that irrigated Wops are reported
now to be in excellent condition.
The Washington office is much graft
fed over the proven efficiency of its
field force and the prompt compliance
with the sudden demand for water,
which, in the opinion of. officials, saved
many crops.
Reports to the bureau from other
sections of the west show that un-
irrigated crops have suffered greatly
because of unfavorable weather con-
ditions, while crops which are receiv-
ing a water supply from irrigation
plants are in good condition.

question. Metcalf has the support of a
number of anti-county option leaders
as well as of county option supporters.

FATHER Of BEET SUGAR
INDUSTRY IS DEAD

ALVARADO, Cal, July 15.-E. H,
Dyer, father of the beet sugar indus

was so years old. In 1870 he established
in this county the first plant for the

was born at Sullivan, Me-, in 1922. He
came to California in 1857 and settled
in this county. Two years later he was
elected county surveyor, and in 1861

OHIO'S PLATFORM.
WILL BOOST TAFT
LongWorth Will Deliver the Key
note Speech at the Repub-
IiCan Convention
Associated Pressl


BEVERLY, Mass, July 15.-Presi-
dent Taft was told today that the Ohio
Republican state platform to be
adopted at the Columbus convention
July 26-2S would contain a ringing in
dorsement of the entire Taft adminis-
tration and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. 1t is proposed that the form of
Endorsement shall serve as model to
other states that intend standing 10y
ally by Mr.. Taft.
The Ohio platform, taken in connec-
ton with the keynote speech to be de-
livered at the convention by Represent
tative Nicholas Longworth as tenn
porary chairman, will serve as an in
deX to the campaign to be waged
throughout the country by the Repub-
licans this fall.
A strong denial of the charge that
the tariff and the Republican party are
responsible for the high cost of living
and a proclamation that the Republi-
fulfilled the party pledges all are In
cluded in the scheme of campaign is
sues to be framed by the Republicans.
These facts were developed here to-
day as a result of calls upon the presi-
dent by Senator Dick of Ohio and
Wade II. Ellis, chairman of the Ohio
Republican state executive committee.
The state platform. on the subject of
conservation, probably will indorse
President Taft's plan assuring the ac-
complishment in legal way of all
that was contemplated when the
scheme of conservation first swept the
country by storm.
A discussion of the gubernatorial
candidates took place. AS to James
r. Garfield, secretary of the interior
in the Roosevelt cabinet, and now
closely associated with Clifford Pinchot
in his political activity. both Senator
Dick and Chairman Ellis declared to-
night that "he most certainly would
not be the nominee for governor"
There is still a lot of talk about
Representative Longworth, but it is
generally understood that any use of
his name is unauthorized

RICH GOLD STRIKE
AT CAMP OF ORC

What bids fair to be one of the
most important gold strikes in the
history of Humboldt county was
made the first of the week at the
new camp of Orc, on the Orc No.
y claim. Some two weeks ago
Messrs. w. w. Kirkham, P. E.
Madsen and E. A. Coffroth, Dutch
Flat operators, located several
claims four miles south of THE old
camp, and in prospecting on the
claim mentioned, discovered four
foot ledge. The samples taken out
are free milling and rich, as the
gold can be seen with the naked
eye. Yesterday Mr.. Madsden came
to town for the purpose of having
the rock assayed, and will probably
have his returns during the day.
Although the camp is less than
two weeks old, a large number of
claims have been staked, upon
which the location work is being
performed. Mr.. Kirkham is quite
well known in Winnemucca, having
paid an extended visit to his neph-
ew, j. A. Lipman of the Lafayette
hotel, before going to Dutch Flat
about month ago.-Silver State.
