WELL KNOWN CITIZEN OF wALLA
WALLA TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
AT MILTON.
Was Found by City Marshal Roaming
Aboat Flat Near the Oregon

Advices received from Milton
Sunday state that John Edgar
a we'll known carpenter and mining
man, had been taken into custody
there as being insane Sunday morn
ing Edgar was found roaming aimless-
ly about the fiat below Milton. and as
he acted in such a strange manner the
marshal took charge of him
Edgar. when questioned, told the
mashal that he wanted to go to the
home of William Stanfield Dry
creek farmer. but would not talk any
further.
Edgar is about So years of age and
is unmarried. For years he has made
his home at the farms of Samuel KEGS
and William Stanfield. on Dry creek
about six miles northeast of Walla
Walla. Several years ago he went over
into the John Day mining district and
afte" prospecting some time finally To-
| Gated some good mining property. He
to put up money for the development
work. which proved very successful.
About three months ago Edgar and
the other Walla Wallans sold their
property for a good figure. a portion
of the purchase being paid in cash.
For some time Edgar has been act
ing strange. but as he showed no signs
of insanity. he was supposed to be all
right. Saturday he came to Walla
Walla from the Stanfield farm. intend
ing to return Sunday. Instead of doing
so he went to Milton. where he was
taken into custody.
1t is stated that Edgar has loaned
considerable of his money to various
parties in this county, but failed to
| take any security for its payment.
| Mr.. Stanfield left for Milton this
morning to investigate the case.

COAL is CONTRABANO.
Japan In a Position to Intercept Rus
sian Supplies.

LONDON. Feb. lJ-Information
available in London shows that Russia
has accumulated over 100000 tons Of
Welsh steam coal. part of which is
already at Port Arthur and part on
the way from Cardiff. Some forty
cargo boat loads. mostly destined for
Port Arthur. are known by Japan and
their course blocked off on the chart.
Japan's own store of steam coal is
only some 10000 tons but it Is not
impossible to predict that Port Ar
thur consignments will have to run the
gauntlet of japanese cruisers before
arriving at Port Arthur and that
good proportion may fall into Japanese
hands Little doubt exists but that
japan will declare coal Il contraband
of war indeed it has been reported
that she already has done so by noti-
flying China that no more coal is to be
shipped by that country to Port Ar
thur.

SMOOTH LIFE INSURANCE AGENT
CONVICTED OF CRIME AT
POMEROY SATURDAY.
Prisoner of Glass Eating and Novel
Writing Fame Gets Three
Years Sentence.

A. w. Morrison. life insurance agent
from Spokane. who has been in Jail at
trial, was tried and convicted Saturday
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses by passing worthless check
for $50. drawn on the First National
bank of Portland, on William Reilly.
Il hotel man. in September last He
was sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary.
Much notoriety had been given the
case owing to MorrisOn's actions during
his confinement in attempting to starve
himself to death by refusing food. and
to kill himself by eating glass, toilet
soap and other articles. which so
wrecked his digestive economy as to
leave him Il mere shadow of his form
er self. He continually avOwed that
he would cheat the law by dying before
trial. and disappointed many by APP
pearng in court with wonderful nerve
and cOmpOsure
His defense was that he believed the
money to have been in the bank at the
time he checked against it. and to sub
stantiate this one McCaffey, Il news
paper solicitor came all the way from
the Sound to testify that he owed Nor
rison more than the amount of the
overdraft. and that his failure to do so
was the cause of Morrison's check be-
ing dishonored.
The prisoner himself on the stand
was compelled to confess having been
a convict in the Oregon penitentiary in
1902, and that his true name was Fair
barn. and that he had gone under a
number of aliases. such as Morrison,
Watts and WattersOn.
During his stay in Jail Morrison has
nearly completed writing Il novel under

BIG NINE CONFERENCE.
Meeting Called to Discuss Means OF
Purifying Athletics.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA general con-
ference of all the big nine colleges to
decide upon plan for purer athletics
is to be called by President Harper
of the University of Chicago as soon
as he RECEIVERS from his present attack
of appendicitis. 1t was President
Harper'S intention to issue the call at
an early date. but his plans have been
thwarted by his illness.
\ petition of the principals and the
board OF control of the Chicago high
schools has already been submitted to
the faculties of all the conference col
leges. as we'll as to the University of
Nebraska and Notre Dame. The petit
ton protests against the present sys-
tenn of admitting athletes to the uni
versity without sufficient scholastic
instruction. The agitation was be-
gun by Superintendent Cooley sever
al weeks ago. Minnesota has already
pledged her aid to any movements
that will better the conditions and
athletic board of control Of North

the support of that college to the
movement.

state that Florence Roberts. the act

This was the fine SilvermOunted re-

Brain Was Affected
Members of the theatrical profession

are inclined to the opinion that his
brain WAS affected. At times his ac-

was poor But Monday night at Port

moody and it WAS then he made his
threats of getting somebody.
Tuesday afternoon before leaving

AS to whether or not the arrests
of Harbaugh and Altman are already
peihg contemplated. United States
District Attorney Hall declined to
make any statement. The inspector
who made the charges against Nicho-

probably be done until an account OF

Attorney-General. who may issue
permanent fraud order against the or
der that would put il out of business
completely.
Inc contracts now being used by the
concern are said TO have been modified
somewhat SO as to make them less OBJ
Jectionable, which probably accounts
for the fact that Harbaugh and Alt
man have escaped prosecution so far
Wakefield Will Explain.
While many of the contract holders
in the hapless concern have given up
hope. they are not yet left free to
drop the subject from their minds and
decide that they have gained wisdom,
II nothing more. While the interest Oe
the victims has been conferred i'm the
court proceedings for more than a.
week past. it now reverts to the Off
GERS of the order and their efforts to
keep the scuttled affair on the sur
face. Wakefield has called meet

may make explanations. And all the
while other claimants to the manage

for hereafter all letters addressed to
