CREAM COLORED MULATTO LANDED
BY MGILLlC ACKNOWLEDGES SHE
Is THE PARTY SOUGHT.
JUMPED BOND OF $1,000
IN OREGON AND LIT OUT
Portland Officials Forwarded Photo and
Description to Chief Reynolds, Who
Turned the Case Over to McGillic--
Latter Finds Woman in Red Light and
Lands Her and Supposed Paramour.

Estelle Williams, a cream colored mu-
latto, who was arrested by Special Of
fcer McGillic last night on suspicion of
being the woman wanted in Portland,
Ore, for jumping thousand dollar bond
while awaiting trial on charge of high
way robbery, admitted today that she was
the one for whom the Portland officers
have been searching high up and low
down. She says she intends to fight the
issuance of requisiton papers to take her
back to Portland, but it is dollars to
doughnuts that she will be second in the
battle.
She claims there is $500 reward for
her. If such is the case Mr.. McGillic will
come in for the reward.
The capture was what can be properly
termed a clever one Three days ago the
chief OF police received from Portland a
photograph and description of the fugitive
along with request for him to keep a
lookout for the woman. The chief turned
the picture and description over to the
officer and the latter kept his weather
eye open.
Walks Through the Red Light.
Last night he took walk through the
bad land district and while passing the
house kept by Grace Woods, in Pleas
ant alley. he looked in and saw the
woman which the photograph in his pocket
represented. The rest was easy.
Stepping into the house he placed her
under arrest and took her to the city jail
The prisoner made an awful roar about
her innocence and the great mistake the
officer was making, but it had no effect
Shortly after she was locked up Walter
Cook, also colored, called at the Jail to
see her and the officer locked him up on
the supposition that he was the travelling
companion Of the female hold-up.
Wilted Under Sweating.
Today the woman was sweated bit
by the chief of police. At first she de-
MED her identity, but when the chief told
her he had her photograph and descrip-
ton, she wilted and confessed.
Estelle Williams and another woman,
in company with white man, held a
man up in Portland few weeks ago and
robbed him OF $62. Her companions In
crime could not secure bonds and were
compelled to stay in jail, but Estelle had
some friends and gained her liberty tenn
porarly on a $1,000 bond, her bondsmen
being pawnbroker named Thornton and
a colored man named Burg. After being
at liberty few days she skipped and left
her bondsmen to square up with the state.

Discovers BY Comparing Sig

Note to Morrin.
BURGLAR HARTMAN AUTHOR
OF LETTER M QUESTION
While Searching House OF Suspect,
Special Officer Finds Letters Written
by Harman and Upon Comparing
Them With Epistle Sent to Mr.. Nor
rim, Makes Remarkable Discovery
Believe St. Clair Was AccompIice.

Attorney Thomas A. Morrin now knows
who robbed his residence at No. $40 South
Main street about three weeks ago and
then sent him letter Of regret. This
morning he called at the police station
and identified as the property of his wife
gold breastpin in the collection of goods
found IN the residence of John S. Har-
man at No. 1925 Nevada avenue. Mrs.
Morris also identified the pin, saying it
was part of set that included a pair Of
earrings and the breastpin The pin is
studded with rubbies and is valued at $50.
The entire set is worth 500. At the time
the house was robbed the earrings were
cached in a secluded spot and the thief
did not find them.
A week or 10 days after the robbery
Mr.. Morrin received through the mail a
letter signed -. Z. r." in which the
writer said he had robbed the house, but
would never be caught, as he had money
and intended to leave the city. He also
said he was a pal of James Martin, the
burglar who had been shot and killed
while robbing house on the West Side.
McGilIic Finds a Letter.
When Special Officer McGillic searched
Harman's house few days ago he found
among other things letter which Har-
man had written to his wife while he
was in Salt Lake. The handwriting of
that epistle and that of the one sent Mr..
Morrin were compared today and found
to be identical. There was only one diff
ference and that was in the tool used,
the Salt Lake letter having been written
with pen and the anonymous one with
an indelible pencil.
Harman is still at large and so far as
known is not in any particular danger Of
arrest just now.
The officers of the police department
are positive that William St. Clair, who
so long haunted the city hall in search of
information concerning the progress the
department was making in ferreting out
the perpetrators of the burglaries, and
John S. Harman, committed the majority
of the burglaries reported at headquarters
during the last year.

Rockport, 4aass., August a2.-The con-

this morning and those of yesterday were
most marked and those participating or
watching the war maneuvers Of the navy
early today found things favorable to the

Rear Admiral Higgnson and his vessels
defend the seaboard.
This morning fog so thick that the
water of the harbor could not be seen
from naval headquarters shrouded Cape
Ann and the adjacent ocean. 1t was not
long after sunrise that the fog set in. 1t
was dense cloud impenetrable to the
eyes, beyond distance of ten or a dozen

Defense Well Guarded.
Aside from the fact that the Kearsarpe,
at least, was still at anchor off this place
little was actually known here as to the
positions of the various ships of Admiral
Higginsons squadron. Scouts had been
reported off Portland. The cruiser Brook
lyn skirted the end of Cape Cod early in
the forenoon and went across to Plymouth
Thus both ends of the line of defense
were said to be we'll guarded and, as the
naval experts here felt reasonably sure that
the Alabama and Massachusetts were with
the Kearsarge off Straltsmouth point, the
center was thought to be safe.

And then of the future, with grave ad-

And the NewYear listened and warmed

But he gave no heed Of the thorns that

In the bud and blow of a coming day,
And, nodding, he dreamed at last.

GoMPERs DISCUSSES TRUSTS.

In discussing the trust question and
new Industrial conditions that have
forced themselves to the front, Presi-
dent Gompers. of the A. F. of L. is
quoted as saying:
You ask what will this corrupt COM
mercialism lead to? I believe it will
lead to better things: j. is the muddy
rhrysalis out of which will yet come
the beautiful coloring of d new civiliza-
ton.
without intending it, the leaders Of
this commercialism are Fastening
events towards an economic and in
dustrial condition in which there will
fruits of labor. They are putting the
question squarely to the American peo-
pie, whether the monopclies shall own
the people Or whether the people shall
own the monopolies.
Putting it in that concrete form,
there Is only one answer, and that an
swer is coming from all parts of the
land-the people must own the mono-
poles.
The trusts, by consolidating the in
dustries and proving that they could be
run from common center, have paved
the way to public ownership, wherein
every toiler will be part owner of the
shop. With all essential monopolies IN
the hands Of the people, the solution of
other industrial promlems will be
easy"
What does he mean: Is Mr.. Gompers
turning Socialist?
The foregoing sentiments have been
uttered by every Socialist speaker ant
newspaper in the country,
"A new morning will dawn, radiant
with the splendors of freedom, and the
children CT toll will COM, into their in
heritance," he concludes, quite elo.
quently.

Some few weeks ago certain coal
mining gentlemen of Pennsylvania no
titled the governor of the state that
certain coal-digging persons were
threatening the lives and property of
their fellow citizens.
BY order Of the governor an army Of
state troops was at once poured into
the region and was kept there at public
expense to guarantee "ife, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" to the people
of Pennsylvania.
Now certain coal-digging persons
have told the governor of Pennsylva-
MIA and the rest of the world, that GER
tain coal mining gentlemen are habit
ual in their infractions Of their fellows
rights to 'life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness
Life-because the sick and aged are
evicted from company houses on in
clement days.
Liberty-because minors and widows
are held in bondage to pay the debts
Of the dead.
Pursuit Of happiness--because toll
is rewarded not by money to be spent
where and for whatever the toiler wills,
but by ''pay checks good only at COM
pany stores.
These are matters of public record.
Let us listen for the tramp of troops:
the hear ye' of the court crier; the
rollcall of the Legislative body as the
majesty of the state is brought to bear
in this case as promptly it was in the
other.
Yes. let us listen; let us all listen:
even the deaf man can listen, and he
will hear as much as any one else.
1t is a remarkably fitting time to lis
ten, for there will be small danger of
hearing.

THOUGHTS FOR THE NEW YEAR.


The advent Of the New Year gives
occasion for the enactment of the usual
number Of good resolutions. With the
lessons conveyed by the experiences
of the past and the trials and tribula-
tions Of the future only yet in expect
ancy, we are constrained to fortify our
selves With good resolutions, that we
may better cope with lfe's difficulties.
Notwithstanding that those resolu-
tons are liable to be forgotten, it is a
helpful act to take inventory of our
selves at stated periods. noting the
points upon which we are weak with a
view of strengthening them, and re-
straining such dispositions, if any
progress. When we consider our own
infirmities, our many acts Of doubt
full propriety-words uttered that had
better been unsaid-opportunitie neg
lected-and the thousands and one
shortcomings that a righteous judg-
ment compels us to admit, we feel more
kindly and more considerably for the
lailings of others.
What a happy world this would be
were all to habituate themselves to
looking on the bright side of the pic
ture and to treating the dark side
for what it actually is-the necessary
background. Alas! We too often
overlook the object of the artist, and
instead of admiring the excellency Of
the work, and it's truthful portrayal Of
teh original we waste our energies in
the contemplation of those parts of it
tha. would not be there at all were it
rot for their negative effects. AS the
Ne wYear dawns upon us whatever
other resolutions we may formulate,
let us at least determine upon view
Ing life with it's trials, and opportuni-
TICS: it's experiences and disappoint-
m"nts. from the brighter and happier
side. The author of the we'll known
hymn:
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
But trust him for his grace;
behind Il frowning Providence,
He hides a smiling lace"
gives us Il suggestion deserving of our
best thought at the opening of the
New Year. These observations are
naClo for ON. own as all AS the rn11t,1-
~ benefit of all our readers. to whom
we sincerely wish for che and all a
happy and prosperous condition for
the year 1903.
