the government by being interested in the
manufacture of envelope-cutting ma
chine that is used by the government. 1t

these machines through the mails.
In consequence of this letter two inspec-
tors came on from Washington to ascer-
tain the truth of the charges made in the
letter. Nothing is known concerning the
result of their investigation.
David NJ. Elliott, who has been finance
and inquiry clerk, is advanced TO finance
clerk only. John w. Welborn, a record
clerk, is advanced to inquiry clerk. f. L.
Brown also is made an inquiry clerk.

stamper to the registry clerk.
An official of the local postoffice, although
refusing the use of his name, last night
said that it was true that the Washington
office had ordered the transfer and he de-
rIored the action. But things became so
unbearabe," he said, that for the good
of the service the recommendation was
made from the office here"

STATES WHEAT CROP IS
DAMAGED BY THE FLOOD
Statistics Reveal Fact that Over
One-Third of Anticipated
Yield Is Destroyed.
LESS ACREAGE PLANTED

Recently State Statistician B. F. Johnson
requested his assistants throughout Indiana
to furnish him with information regarding
the condition of the wheat crop since the
recent floods. Returns which have so far
been received show that the crop has been
damaged considerably. Added to this. Mr..
Johnson cites the fact that less acreage
of wheat has been planted this season than
in 1903. Benton and Jasper counties have
comparatively no wheat under cultivation,
while the loss is computed to be about 80
per cent. of the acreage of last year.

HOMES
PLUNDERED
Young Newport VandalS Rob
Cottages and Are
Arrested

Newport, Or, April 20.-The people
Of this place, and, in fact, of the en-
tire Yaquina bay country, are much
incensed over a series of depreda
tions that have come to light here, re-
sulting in the arrest of the thieves,
and, happily, in the recovery of the
stolen property. A few days ago ii
was discovered that a number of sum.
mer cottages here had been broken
into and %plundered. Suspicion point.
ed to some youths who were engaged
in crab fishing. On Sunday evening
sufficient evidence had been secured
by Sheriff James Ross to justify the
arrest of two suspects named Carl
T~ellefson and Irwin Dubois, both be.
tween II and Is years of age. After
being taken into custody both made
partial confessions, duplicating an
older brother of Dubois namel Floyd;
also showing where they had cached
the plumber taken from the cottages
broken into, most of which was recov.
cred late last night.
This morning at about 1880 o'clock
while arrangements were being made
for the preliminary hearing of the
charges against them, Floyd Dubois
gave Sheriff Ross the slip, and sue
ceeded in getting away. He was in
a building on the water front with
the sheriff, and went into a room in
the rear under the pretense of speak
ing to some one, then went under the
wharf, disappearing from sight. He
is now hiding in the brush. He is the
Oldest of the trio, and the leader in
their numerous ~depredations.
Among the cottages pillaged was
that of Senator A. W. Howe, of Carl
ton, Yamhill county, from which they
secured a large quantity of booty.
most of which has been recovered. It
is expected that several other ar.
rests will yet be male.
At the preliminary trial Just con.
cluded Carl Tellefson and Irwin Du.
bois pleaded guilty to the charge of
larceny from a dwelling and were
bound over to appear before the cir,
cult court, which convenes July next.
In default of bail they were commit.
ted to the custody of the sheriff.
Floyd Dubois, or Benton, which is his
proper name, is still at large. His
partners in crime place the blame
on him for breaking into Senator
Howe's cottage. So far it is reported
that seven other cottages have been
%plundered.

CAUSE
TROUBLE
HObOeS DeVOured Fruit and
May Go to the Pen for
Their Folly

Lombard, Falkenstein and Wood,
ward, the three hobos who were ar
rested yesterday for breaking a seal
on a box car were arraigned in Re-
corder Judah's court at 1 o'clock to-
day, and plead not guilty.
Deputy District Attorney j. H. Nc
Nary and Geo. G. Bingham appeared
for the prosecution, and the defend
ants will be given an opportunity to
secure counsel. They were given UNI
til 6 o'clock this evening to decide
whether they want a preliminary eX-
animation or waive their hearing to
the circuit court, which onvenes in
July.
Woodward is very young and does
not look more than IA, but he says he
is nearly 10 years old. Lombard is a
couple of years his senior, while Falk-
enstein is perhaps about 80.
The defendants entered a car load
ed with oranges on the train about
100 miles south of here, and were
feasting on the fruit. They claim
that they did not break the seal, but
gained entrance at the end of the re-
frigerator car. The trainmen found
them in the car, and telegraphed
ahead to have the Salem police arrest
them when the train arrived in this
city.
One defendant claims that the train
took away several pockets full

with them for riding in the car.
