MYSTERIOUS MURDER
STARTLES PORTLAND
Police Are Puzzling Over Cause
\ of Death of Man Who Is
Probably Poisoned

K PORTLAND, Oct. 1.-THE Port
land police have another peculiar
mystery to unravel When Mr.. Chas.
Molise, employed in a local hotel re-
turned home this evening she found
the dead body of her husband lying
on the floor in the front room and
clasped in his arms, according to the
story she told the police was the pre-
serve jar which she said was used for
keeping the family wealth amounting,
she said, to $500.
1t is supposed that the man died
from heart failure, on the discovery.
perhaps, that the jar had been loot
ed of its little hoard of gold and cur
rency.
An autopsy concluded late tonight
showed the death was not due to
heart disease Sor to any other cause
which physicians could determine
They expect that chloroform or some
poison has been used and will analyze
the contents of his stomach tomor-
row. Meantime Mrs. Molise is being
questioned. She will not be arrested
but is under surveillance.

A Valiant Irish Sea Captain

On May A. 1775, Capt. jeremiah
OBrien, owner of a little lumber
sloop, chased and captured the Brit
sh war schooner, Margaretta, carry
ing four light guns and fourteen swiv-
ell pieces. O'Brien's crew was thirty
five landsmen, mostly Irish, armed
with muskets, pistols, blunderbuses,
axes and pitchforks. The schooner
had more men than the sloop, and
she was commissioned war vessel
She had been somewhat disabled in
squall, and a lucky shot from the
lumber sloop killed the man at the
wheel and cleared the quarterback.
Another shot killed the British cap
tain. O'Brien gave the order to
board, and the schooner was cap
tured after a hand to hand fight
About twenty men in all were killed
and wounded. O'Brien mounted the
captured guns on stronger sloop
and put out to sea. Two British
cruisers were sent to capture him.
BY willy stratagem he separted
them, fought each in turn and took
them both prisoners.

General Agent Burdick Of North
em Pacific Tells Of New
Freight Schedules
WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE
IN MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER
Figures Are a General Reduction
With Few Exceptions Respect
ing Carload Lots in the West
ern Territory

Advance notice of a change in class
rates to become effective November
1st and November 18th, has been re-
ceived here by c. c. Burdick, general
agent of the Northern Pacific railway.
There has been no change in the COM
modify rates, and the carload rates
from territory east Of Chicago will
not become effective until November
18th. Hitherto the rate has been the
rate from Chicago to North Yakima
plus the local rate from the eastern
poin to Chicago. Under the new
schedule there will be a rate direct.
The schedule provides for a number
of groupes as follows: Groupe A be-
ing from New York, Boston and COM
mon points. Group B from Pittsburg,
Buffalo and common points. Group
C from Cincinnati, Detroit and COM
mon points. Group d from Chicago
and common points. Group e from
the Mississippi and common points,
and Group F from Missouri river and
common points.
BY Way of Reduction
The changes are for the most part
a reduction, though from Chicago ans
Mississippi points there is slight
Increase in one or two of the classes.
The scredule provides literally for less
than carload lots and also for carload
lots under various classifications and
In a detailed way will be of interest
only to the specific shippers but one
or two illustrations will serve to give
an idea of the character of the
changes. For example: Class 1 of
Group A, which is New York, Boston
and common points, has rate of
1851 per hundred as against $3.93.
which is the present rate; s3.11 in
Class 2 as against $340, at present
and sass in Glass 8 as against $2,79
at present. In Group B, Pittsburg
and Buffalo, the rates in classes l., 2
and 8 respectively are s3.41, $2.94
and $2.46. as against $3.50, $3.14 and
$2.59 which have prevailed.
The Chicago Territory
In Class D. Chicago and common
points, the rates for less than car
load lots are as follows: Glass 1,
S8.17, as against the old rate of 1918;
Class 2, $2.75, both old and new; Glass
8, $2,28, new as against $2,29 old, and
Glass 4, $1.s2 new as against $3.50,
old. In the carload lots from Chi
cago and common points the figures
are for Class and classes A, B, c,
D and e, as follows: 1852, $1.64,
$1.80, s1.03. CSC and 8Sc, as contrast
ed with, for the old rate, the follow
ing figures: s1.56, $1.5S, $1.2S, $1.03,
97c and SIC.
In general here is a considerable
reduction in the classes in less than
carload lots from all points and an
average reduction all along the line
In the caroad lots though there is
some increase in the latter figures
from Chicago, Mississippi and Missouri
river points.

King Seal and Tom S. Have Been
Consistent Performers on the
Track This Season
THIS VALLEY is GOOD
CONDITIONING PLACE
They Have Raced on Various
Tracks of Northwest and Have
Done Better Than Any Animals
Ever Sent Out From Here

Writing to friend in North Yak
ina, horse lover who has been on
the circuit this year says among other
things: Just a word in. regard to the
North Yakima horses and the way
they are continuing to boost Yakima
as place in which to condition and
train trotters and PAGERS. Last week
at Dayton, Wash, King Seal won first
money in one race and was second. in
another, proving himself to be a game,
consistent race horse On "Wednesday
of this week he won first money in
the Power City purse for the 2:1S
pace at Spokane, pacing the fastest
quarter ever paced over northwest
half-mile track, stepping the last
quarter in 81 seconds and winning
the heat by half length. He has
made nine starts this season and only
been out of the money once, when he
got distanced in the mud at Portland.
Tom S. Races Well
"Tom S. is still doing his town and
owner proud, winning one race at
Dayton last week and finishing Sec
ond in another. He has started ten
times this year and has been first
five times, second three times and
third once and fourth once, so that
he has never figured out of the money.
Never in the history of North Yakima
has she sent out two horses which
have been as uniformly successful as
Tom S. and King Seal. and owners and
trainers l should judge, must feel
horses did not race at the state fair
at North Yakima because there were
no classes or starts open to them
and therefore, during the fair here,
they went to Dayton instead"

FIVE. WITNE SSES
TESTIFY IN COURT
AGAINST GEO. WILSON

OLYMPIA, Oct. Five witnesses
were examined before the court adj
journed today in the trial of Geo. II
Wilson, the railroad section foreman
accused of the murder of Mrs. Nettie
Coble and husband in their home in
Rainier the night Of July 10. The
bloody axe was introduced and identi-
fed by Lou Eddy who uncovered the
bodies after they had been discovered
by Mrs, William McNett and Mrs
West. The latter has since been di-
vorcej and is known as Olga Christie
The attempt of the state to question
Mrs. McNett and Olga Christie in re-
gard to Wilson'S alleged family
troubles was unsuccessful as the
court sustained all the objections of
the defense to the introduction of
that testimony. Mrs. McNett is the
aunt of the murdered woman.

best SHOW IS
NONE TOO GOOD
Therefore Yakima Should Make
Especial Efforts to Aid at New
York ard St. Paul

"These shows in the east this year
in which North Yakima and the YAK
ina valley are to exhibit their fruit,
said e. F. Benson last night, are
mighty sight more important than
appears at first glance. I refer TO
the New York and st. Paul shows.
Those at Omaha and Chicago are on
a somewhat different plan but I'M
questionably will attract large crowds
OF people as they have proven them
selves to be financial successes. 1t
is well, 1 think, that people Of this
section be given some idea of the char
acter Of the shows at New York and
st. Paul.
Railroads Interested
The show at New York is gotten ur
by the various railroad interests which
are aiding in the development of the
west. That at st. Poul is gotten ur
by the three big railroads interested
in the development of the northern
tier of states, from the lakes west
The Great Northern, the Northern Pa
cific and the Milwaukee railroads are
promoting the st. Paul fair, and its
scope is confined to the land activities
of the seven states of Minnesota
North and South Dakota, Montana
Oregon, Idaho and Washington. We
are not going north into Canada to
exploit it's wheat fields nor south into
California to exploit the orchards OF
that state but instead we are boost
ing as we'll as we can the wheat fields
and the orchards of the states we
have mentioned.
Educates Investors

show is concerned it is to show to the
eastern capitalist or investor what the
western states can and are doing
The money for railroad development

Convincing the Worker
"But it is from the territory tribu-

who have known this valley for a
great many years say that they have
not known of better quality Of spuds
than have been raised this season.
Just what the crop of the valley Will
total in carload lots is mooted ques-
ton. Some of the growers. buyers
and railroad men, place it at 1900
cars, but this is believed to be an over
estimate. There is, according to the
best obtainable information, a con-
siderable increase over the acreage of
last year and as good yield per acre
and this would indicate an output
close to the figures given above.
Refuses Good Offer
Everett Cleveland, who grew 800
tons of potatoes between the rows of
of $40 a ton feeling that the price
will be larger later on. L. H. Lin
barger has over 900 tons and he is
not selling at present figures as he
thinks that he can get a better price
by marketing the spuds himself in his
own way.
There is considerable talk this year
of sending the potatoes eastward from
here to find a market rather than to
depend upon the westward market as
hitherto The railroad rate is SIS cents
per hundred pounds to Missouri. river
points and rs cents per hundred
pounds to Mississippi river points.
There has been some enquiry from the
east and six. weeks ago Peter Wayen-
berg of the Mckee had an offer of $40
a ton for his spuds laid down in Ne
braska. This would mean about $27

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Maine, he says, have grown an excel
lent crop this season and there is a
good crop in other sections, though
Colorado and some other states have
fallen down somewhat. The Atlantic
coast cities-Boston, New York, and
Philadelphia and such places can, he
says, buy foreign potatoes sufficient
to supply their markets and ship a
considerable distance west. This will
force the Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota potatoes still farther west
into a territory in which Yakima will
have to compete if it decides to send
