NO CLUE TO SLAYER
OF HILL FAMILY
CITIZENS AND OFFICERS
SPEND NIGHT IN SEARCH
Police Are Connecting Crime With
That of Barbara Hoffman, Who
Was Murdered in Portland two
Months Ago.

Portland, June 10.-Following an
all night hunt, the citizens and off,
GERS are no nearer the clew to the
murderer of the Hill family, near
Sellwood, than yesterday when the
fiendish crime was discovered.
Several persons who were suspect
ed in connection with the crime were
taken into custody today, but they
easily proved an alibi. The finger
prints of the murderer were secured
from the bloody axe, but thus far
there is absolutely no clue to the
identity of the slayer.
The police are connecting the crime
with that of Barbara Hoffman, aged
5, who was murdered in Portland two
| months ago. The general description
of the man is the same in both
cases. -.
The sheriffs of Multnomah and
Clackamas counties aided by detec-
tives and deputies, continue their
search for a clue that might possibly
lead to the apprehension of the per-
petrator of crime which for fiend-
ishness exceeds anything in the Grim
inal history of this state,
The crime was committed by de-
generate. that much has been DEM
onstrated by the authorities, by the
condition the bodies were found in,
and a degenerate at that of the lowest
order conceivable.

Children Hold Election

Seattle, Wash. June 10.-Seattle
has had many elections in the last
few months but none more bitterly
contested than the one in progress
today to select officers for the four
municipal playground governments.
The children of the city are the vot-
ers but the elections are conducted
in the same manner as those of the
gravest importance. The prescribed
forms on the statute books govern
ing the balloting of the grownups are
followed in every way. AS female
suffrage prevails in this state, the
girls have the same political rights
as the boys. The officers to be chos-
en- are a mayor, a chief of police, a
city council and a park commission,
The successful candidates will be in
augurated week hence.

LOCAL COLORED PEOPLE AIR
TROUBLES IN COURT ROOM

Following the near-knife battle on
Main street between local colored
people yesterday afternoon, as chron-
icled in this paper. Al Richardson, the
giant bootblack at the Totel st.
George, his wife, Alice Richardson,
and step daughter, Mrs. Ernest Allen
were fined ten dollars apiece after a
more or less sensational trial in the
police court on charges of assault and
battery After he had pronounced
sentence on the three offenders, Judge
Fitz Gerald sounded warning to
them against any further disturbance
of the peace, declaring that upon the
next offense that he would place them
under heavy bonds to insure orderly
conduct. At the same time he coun-
seled Joe Watson, the complaining
witness to take all precautions to
avoid trouble in the future.
Many Attend Trial.
The court room was filled when the
trial came Off for the Traces had been
witnessed by large number of peo-
pie, many of whom were curious to
hear the sequel. A quite number of
witnesses had been summoned and
the taking of testimony lasted until
nearly o'clock. City Attorney Roy
Raley prosecuted the case while Al
Richardson acted as his own attor'
ney.
Watson Not the AggressOr.
From the evidence of disinterestet
spectators 1t seems that Richardson
and the two women met Watson OF
the corner of Alta and Main streets
and that, after calling him vil'
name, Mrs. Richardson struck hin
in the face. Her husband, thereupol
assumed pugilistic attitude ant
struck at the man who, beset by tn
three, retreated until he had draw
a knife from his pocket when he cam

to stop and began carving the air
to keep his pursuers from attacking
him.
At sight of the brandished knife,
Richardson backed up, but his wife,
drawing forth a long bladed knife
from her hand bag stepped forth en-
couraged by her daughter and soon
reinforced by her husband armed
with pair of scissors. 1t was at this
juncture that Walter Wells arrived
and, with the assistanc of others, man.

Windsor, Eng, June 10.-The

the Garter. The Duke of
Connaught brother of the late \
King Edward, and Prince Arth-
ur of Connaught were sponsors.
King George knighted him. De-
spite the gorgeousness of the
ceremony there was a pathetic 4
touch. Two years ago King
Manuel Of Portugal was knight I
ed. Today he stood among \
them, playing at being king, de-
spite the fact that his kingdom
is gone and himself an exile.

INSURGENT MOVEMENT
HAS NOT STOPPED.

Washington, June 10.-Deny- 4
ing the rumors that the insur-
gent movement had slowed up,
Congressman Norris, Nebraska,
in statement issued today,
said that the reports were set I
afloat by some of the newspa- I
pers in the interest of Taft's re- 7
nomination. "The insurgent
movement has barely begun" 4
he said. 1.-THE reports that the
insurgents are discouraged is
without foundation. They are
the result of a combination of
certain newspapers for the pur-
pose of helping Taft get the
nomination next year because he
favored the reciprocity with
Canada, which is expected to
lower the price of print paper" y

ENDORSES CLAYTON

William c. Blair, former deputy
insurance commissioner under Mr..
Rittenhoue, and editor of the Lake
City Times, had the following to say
in his paper relative to the reap
pointment of Senator Clayton OF this
city as state commissioner of insur-
ance:
1t has been reported that the cor
poration senators in the Colorado
assembly will not vote for the con-
frmation OF Governor Shafroth's ap-
pointees for insurance commissioner
II that appointee should be Senator
Clayton; for the commissioner of
printing II Hosmer is re-appointed,
or for oil inspector II Street is reap
pointed We trust the report will
not be substantiated. These appoint
ments belong to the governor and.
unless some better reason than petit
lOSSlUS pOltlSS Cah oC oo' ohSSN'
confirmation should Immediately fol-
low the receipt of the governors
message with the appointments.
There certainly can be no reason for
not confirming the appointment OF
Senator Clayton as commissioner OF
insurance for another term. He is
great big, able, public spirited citi-
zen of the greatest county in Colo
rado; he has made good record
during his one term at the head of
the insurance department. He has a
very capable deputy in the person of
Alex. Grant, and under their man.
agement this important branch OF
the state government shows clean
bill of health. If prejudice and spite
should actuate any democrats in
their votes ON the confirmation or
otherwise of the re-appointment of
Commissioner Clayton. this paper
trusts that republican senators will
not suppotr such childish tactics.

Raising Early BrOilers

1.-The up-to-date broiler plant con-
sists of an incubator cellar. a nursery
or brooder house, as 1t Is usually
called, and broiler house." says
Kate V. Saint-Maur in Woman
Home Companion for February.
Both the latter are divided into
small pens. about two feet widt and
five feet long. In the nursery house.
the top ends of the pens are enclosed
like boxes to the depth Of about a
foot and half, and have hot water
pipes running through them to fur
nish heat for the chicks to brood
under. A flannel curtain cut into
strips falls from the top Of the in
closed part to divide it from the rest
of the pen, which runs down to the
outer wall of the house. where a
large window lets in light and sun.
The pens should have board floors
slightly elevated above the main
floor, to avoid dampness, and the
divisions are made with a foot board
about nine inches high. and one-inch
netting two feet high above that. The
brooder house is divided in the same
way, but the hot water pipes only
run around the walls of the house.
as the birds don't need the imme-
diate heat to brood under, after they
leave the nursery. when they are five
or six weeks old.
But until you can afford the
proper equipment, one or two incu-
bators can be run in the cellar of
the house or an unused room where
there is no other heat. Individual
brooders can be used in place OF the
nursery or brooder house, If you
have any light outbuilding to stand
them in. In fact, I like the indi-
vidual broders better for the nur-
sery period than the pipe house sys-
TEN. because 1t is only necessary to
heat as many as are needed, and
with the pipe system the entire
house has to be heated, even If you
are only going to use one section"

FIGHTING PLANT DISEASES

The park board is preparing to
make war upon the cottony maple
scale. and there is urgent need OF
it. The naples in the city park and
all over the city are in danger OF
destruction from the pest; and it
will require a great deal of work to
check the ravages OF the scale. But
II 1t is promptly attended to a large
percentage of the trees can be saved.
This pest is. however. not the
only one which should be guarded
against. Colorado horticulture Is
exposed to dangers from insects or
diseases of numerous kinds. and
there il no subject which demands
