coNVIcTs MURDER GUARDS.
Desperate Prisoners Escape From
Oregon Penitentiary.

desperate Prisoners Escape From
Oregon Penitentiary.
Salem, Ore, June 9.-Two desper-
ate prisoners, Harry Tracy, sentenceu
to 20 years, and David Merrill, SEN
fenced to Is years, serving sentences
for assault and robbery from Multi
nomah county, made an outbreak for
the penitentiary this morning, after
killing three guards-Frank Terrell,
shop guard; S. R. Jones and B. F.
Tiffany, fencemen.
The prisoners had just marched
into the foundry for work, at a. M,
when Tracy suddenly appeared with
rife, and shot Guard Terrell, kill
| ing him almost instantly. Ingram,
a life prisoner, attempted to take the
rife from Tracy, when Merrill shot
Ingram through the leg SCATTERING it.
Other prisoners were forced at the
to the wall, when the two armed men
escaped. Getting outside, they shot
Guard Jones dead at a distance of
$50 yards. Guaru Tiffany, after be-
| ing wounded, jumped off the fence
and followed the men, shooting at
them, when they killed him.
The prisoners then escaped into
the woods. A posse of 40 men is out
after the prisoners, and have them
trailed to the woods half way be-
tween Salem and the reform school.
The men are desperate and bat
tie is expected. The posse is led by
Sheriff F. w. Durpin, Sheriff-elect B.
B. Goliath and officers from the pris-
on. The prisoners were armed wlCn
two rifles and two revolvers. The
arms are believed to nave been
thrown over the stockade Sunday
night by friends among the excur-
sionists who came from Portland.
Prisoners employed in the foundry
were scheduled to go to work at z
O'Clock, and had entered the mold
ling room with the shop guard, Fer
lrell, inside, and Guard Stapleton in
an adjoining room.
Suddenly, without warning, Tracy
and Merrill appeared with rifles.
Tracy aimed at Terrell, when In
gram, life prisoner, attempted to
reach and dlsarm Tracy. Instantly
Merrill shot Ingram and Tracy killed
Terrell, the latter falling forward, dy-
ing almost instantly.

FOR HANDLING FRUIT.
Photo copyright. 1902. by clinedinst. Was

Packages of Several Types Popular
In Various Regions.
A study of the markets in any large
city, New York in particular, shows
great variety of fruit packages. The
most popular and satisfactory package
for strawberries is the thirty-two
quart carrier, now quite universally
used. Fruit properly ripened, packed
and shipped under favorable condi-
tons usually arrives in these packages
in the most distant markets in first
class condition.
The greatest irregularity is seen in
the peach basket. The bulk of fruit
from the south is packed and shipped
in the six basket carrier, one of the
very best and most convenient pack
ages ever placed upon the market, par
ticularly where fruit must be shipped
dong distances. Our illustration shows
a package of this sort. The crate
holds six baskets in two rows, with a
rest or partition between. The bas-
kets usually contain four quarts, the
entire package containing about five
Fights of bushel. The crates can be
purchased knocked down" ready to
be put together. The baskets are COM
plete and ready for use. The price for
six basket carriers varies somewhat in
different sections of the country. The
average per 100 for carrier and bas-
kets is about $15.

Hamilton w. Mabie Draws a Lesson
From the Recent Disaster ~
at Martinique.

Hamilton W. Mabie, editor and essay

and Is the guest of Professor and Mrs.
Norman Wilde of 901 Sixth street Sc. Tho
disaster in Martinique naturally became
topic Of conversation in an interview
to-day. .st. ~ t. ask.
Mr.. Mabie maintained that the great
wave of brotherly feeling and better un-
derstandlng was the most striking thing
associated with such calamities. Said he !:
1t seems to ME that the opportunity for
such manifestations Of human sympathy is
the providential purpose Of these terrible Wis
itations. It'll certain that every such occur
renee has helped to better understanding
and International confidence. [.s.,..r.
The only thing we need to bring about
universal peace and comity is to know each
other; friction cannot exist where there is
an intelligent understanding between nations
or individuals. All our wars and strfes are
caused by ignorance: 81; -,,.' =. .,-.,.
Mr.. Mabie saw in the removal Of fric-
tion in International relations, religion,
and other controversial SUBJECTS, one OF
the most interesting developments of Che
last half century. The principle Of broth
erhood has come to be recognized. and
through it has grown up a spirit not only
of tolerance but also of responsibility.
In the ST. Pierre calamity Mr.. Mabie
sees another important. impp st, moral influence
He said: -. -...E.S",- r.. -. s~s ... -,
Such disasters are reminder of the .un
impotence of human power and wisdom. Their,
is great danger Of the race feeling that it il
|. self f-sufficient. The world has to have al
occasional reminder that, with all its develop
ment it is finite, and the solving Of mys
teries simply ,unfolds greater, ones. ..r

EVIDENCE IS ALL IN
Fifteen Witnesses Heard in First
Baptist Church Inquiry.
VERDICT MAY BE DELAYED
When and How Ex-Parte Council
Will Render Decision Is Not
Determined.


Sessions Of the Baptist ex-parte council
at Westminster church were held last eve
ming and this morning. After luncheon
and the examination of one witness, the
council went into executive session, When
and how the opinion will be rendered
after the evidence is digested has not been
determined.
The sessions last night and this morning
were devoted to the taking of testimony.
The chairman, DIR. Strong, formulated
questions, and the witness answered along
these lines, adding whatever seemed per-
t1nent. After consultation between the
committee representing the minority
members Of the First Baptist church and
the council, it was considered unnecessary
to call more witnesses. Scores were pres
ent, but only about fifteen were exam
ined, as it seemed useless to duplicate
evidence. =
At adjournment. this afternoon, the re-
porter began the transcript of his steno-
graphic notes. Dr., Crandall was compelled
to leave last night and it is probable that
to have full vote it will be necessary to
forward to him a transcript of to- day 8
testimony. At any rate the council prob
ably will not bring in it's decision and
offer it's advice at present. .-.~

G.J.SITS TOMORROW
Certain Police Officials Due to Have
Insomnia Tonight.
QUIET RE1GNs ON WASHINGTON
Grand Jurors Have Done What Po'
lice Couldn't--Morrissey and
Howard Trials S:,ss

There is more uneasiness in police cir
cles to-day, due to the next sitting Of the
grand jury, that little body Of sixteen
citizens who have done more in four days
to suppress vice and corruption In this
city than the gallant command OF Colonel
Ames, 225 strong, has been able to &C
eomplish in eighteen months. The word
is ON the street that when the jury meets
tomorrow it will not be some minor
plain clot hes men who get the dreaded
warrants for arrest, but officials much
higher.
There is every reason to believe that in
addition to finding indictments against
Detectives Howard and Morrissey, the
jury also found true bills against two 9TH
ers connected with the force, but decided
not to report them until later. The sus-
pected persons are now In position, to be
reached and the jury is expected to give
the word when it assemblies tomorrow.
~ How About the Trials.
With the trial Of Former Sheriff Me-
garden set for May 19 and the trials OF
Detectives Howard and Morrissey set for
the day following. there is a serious clash
in dates. The Megaarden case is import
ant and the authorities agree that 1t
should be tried in the present term, .
But much more important to the public
are the cases against: the detectives. AS
70 Inc Me~aarQeEf case lnc PUBIC cares
little, for Mr.. Megaarden. has been re-
moved. from Office and the county has re-
covered its money. With the detectives
the circumstances are different. The pub
lie wants 20 know something about the
charges Of wholesale corruption and the
much talked of graft" One of the other
judges may come to the aid of-Judge
Simpson and take one of the big cases.
Washington Avenue Quiet.
The disreputable swindling ant
gambling joints of Washington avenue
have practically quit since the presen
grand jury began work. While the pic
ture places are running full blast, there
hasn't been gambling wheel turninE
along the avenue since week ago Mon
day, when the grand jury got down tt

CITY NEWS
WANT THEIR SHARE
Coarse Grain Handlers Preparing
for Big Crop.
ASK REASONABLE INSPECTION
Increased Acreage Means Big Re-
ceipts II Inspectors Don't
Drive Grain Away.

The petition addressed to the state rail-
road and warehouse commission asking
Tor conference between the commission
and the coarse grain handlers of Mime
apolls, was on change again this morning.
Several who have hesitated about signing
yesterday affixed their signatures to-day.
The circulators of the petition say that
a revision in the coarse grain gradings
must come sooner or later, the sooner the
better for this market. The growth of
this point as a coarse grain market Will
necessitate the discarding of some an
tiquated methods and the establishing Of
some system that will make a clearer
dividing line between the grades. At
present No, 3 white oats, No. white oats,
or No. 3 oats often sell at the same prices,
and in some instances a lower grade like
No. 8, will sell above No. 8 white. Re-
ceivers say these things are hard to eN-
plain to the country shipper, but they
come about from the fact that the inspec-
tlon department does not hit 1t right IN
many cases. -...r g., -.''
The Importance of this lies in the fact
that this market is growing so rapidly as
a receiving and storage point for corn,
oats, barley and flax. A few years ago,
ten cars of corn or oats coming IN here
in day would stall the market. This is
low changed and with the coming in OF
new interests identified with coarse grains
and the tendency on the part of the older
houses to turn attention to them as we'll
as to wheat, the trade has grown enor-
-mOusly.
What the circulators Of the petition are
trying to do, is to anticipate the new crop
conditions this year. The tendency in the
northwest this year has been to go in for
coarse grains. All reports show that the
coarse grain acreage will be larger than
ever before.
This can only mean one thing, that Min
neapolis will receive on the next crop more
corn oats, flax and barley than ever. The
men who make a speciality Of handling
these grains would like to see Minneapolis
free from the handicap of an inefhclent
inspection. Hence the petition for a con
ference at which they may state their
grievances in detail.
