Waite wanted i'm Manila.

Seattle, May 81. - Deputy United
States Marshal John Stringer arrived in
Seattle this morning, having under
arrest Ed L. Waite, who is wanted in
Manila for embezzlement.
Waite left Manila May 2, taking with
him, it is alleged, $4,000 OF the money of
Colonel Newberry's bank, of which he
was cashier. He was traced from the
PHILIPPINES to Hong Kong, where he
boarded the steamship Tartar for Van
couver, B. c., and the authorities at
Washington we're notified.
Deputy Stringer went TO Victoria to
meet the boat Friday, and went on board
pretending to be an immigration in
spector. He spotted his man all right.
and officer and suspect both remained
on the vessel until Vancouver was
reached.
Waite left the ship there, and Mr..
Stringer shadowed him and was finally
rewarded Saturday night by seeing his
man step on board the Canadian Pacific
train, bound for Seattle. AS soon as
the international boundary line was
crossed Stringer informed Waite that he
was under arrest. The prisoner admits
everything except that he took the
money. He says he worked in bank
in Manila, and left there May >, but
denies most emphatically that he is an
embezzler.

WOOL saLEs aT BEPPuER
Over 100000 Pounds Changes
Hands in Two Days.
UNDER SEALED BID METHOD
Prices Were satisfactory- Owners
and Buyers Had no Trouble
in Getting Together.

The sealed bid method OF selling wool
is success.
This was demonstrated Tuesday and
Wednesday. the first sales days in
Heppner this season.
The volume of business was much
greater and the sales much larger than
either at Arlington or Pendleton. the
sales at the two latter places having oc
Cured few days ago.
The sheepmen have been making
preparations for the sales. Wool has
been rushed in as fast as possible for
some time and the ware houses have
been crowded with work in storing the
wool to be offered for sale.
During the two days over one million
pounds of wool changed hands, running
all the way from III cents to Az cents
per pound.
With very few exceptions the busi
ness was very satisfactory to both the
buyer and seller.
The large amount of business was dis.
posed of in a remarkably short time.
The buyers and sellers had no trouble
in getting together.
| In all, there were Il BUYERS represent
ing II different houses, most of the
buyers coming in the day before the
sales, and many OF them left this morn
ing.
1t does not take long to sell wool under
the sealed bid system. After lot of
wool is put up and sampled, the buyers
drop their bids in hat and when the
bids are taken out the highest price
takes the wool if satisfactory to the
owner.
The sales ope ned the first day at the
VI. G.. l.. & T. Co.'S. ware house, and the
second day the attention of the buyers
was occupied at Heppner & Co.'S ware
house.
The heaviest buyer was Fred Kuhn,
manufacturer. of Passaic, n. j.
The largest sale of any one lot was
that Of the Penland Land & Livestock
Co., $4,000 pounds. The Mcknight
Bros. clip of 900 pounds was the next
largest clip offered.

ANOTHER ARMY MURDER.

1t is almost impossible to credit
the story that comes from Germany
to the effect that ali ensign IL Ill /
army killed an artillcr. nan who fGi.- |
ed to salute him properly. The tale /
is told with a wealth of detail and is
accompanied with the statement thai
a cOurtmartial of the murderer has
been ordered. The facts if they are
as stated make out clear case Of
murder. and no amount of influence
should be permitted to save the often
der from an ignominous execution.
Germany, however. may have some
people resembling misguided citizens
of this country. who imagin. or pre-
tend to imagin, that an attack on al.
uses and crimes committed by indiEi-
dual members of the army is an al
tack On the entire army. If such !
sentiment exists in Germany it NAV
not be possible to bring this murderer
to justice. but that does not alter the
fact that he should be hanged,
The life Of a private soldier is a
best hard one. If We add to hi
other duties the duty o. being killed
without murmuring for trifling in
fraction of dicipline, we may eNpec,
to encounter considerable difficulty
in securing the rcquisit number Ct n
right character Of enlistments. And
while Americans generally VIII CT
out in horror at this German incident

affair should serve to remind us o.
something of a similar character here

in the Philippines. Thu Illusion is tt
the case of the unfortunate Private
Richter. who was tortured to death
by order of his commanding officer.
That officer was tried aid acquitte
by a courrmartial. but the facts in the
case. as brought out in the testimony
are damning.
1t was shown that for a comparativ
ly trifling breach Of discipline Richter
was gagged and tied to short stakes
driven into the ground. Stretched on;

OF course the commanding Officer
in the Richter case had no idea tha
man would die under the punishment
1t may be said then in extenuation q
the German officers deed that he
merely intended to prick his victim
with his sword. We can not go by in
tentions in either case. We can Onl,
go by results If the German is guilt,
