WHO ARE DOE AND R0E7
,sruo MxsteriOus Persons Figure in
Land Frauds in OregOn-MOre IN
dIctments by Grand Jury.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 2S.-The federal
grand Jury yesterday returned seven
indictments in connection with the
hand fraud cases now under 1nvesti-
cation. The large number and the
prominence Of three Of the number,
with the two mysterious John Doe"
indictments, make the day the most
sensational since the jury reconvened
IN its present sessions. The most i'm
,uortant is the indictment against DR..
William H. Davis, mayor OF Albany
Ore. Second to this and hardly less
important, are those Of Solomon b.
Ormsby, formerly government agent
and Clark e. Loomis, at one time for
est superintendent. Henry A. young
and George Sorenson arc not SO well
known. The indictment states that
there are two others, John Doe and
Richard Roe, implicated, whose true
names the jury does not know. 1t Will
be recalled that two mysterious per-
sonages figured prominently in the
Indictment returned against State
Senator Franklin P. Mays last week.

TWO BLOCKS BURNED
Fire in Sioux City's Business Dis
trict Caused 100000 Loss.
STREETS CROWDED WITH SHOPPERS
Flames Started I'm PeIletier DEPART
ment store-Three National Banks
and Several Wholesale
Houses in Ruins.


Sioux City, Ia, Dec. PA fire which
resulted in the death of one fireman,
monetary loss roughly estimated at
| 81 900, 900 and the destruction OF near
" two whole blocks, started in the
basement of the Pelletier department
store. located at Fourth and Jackson
streets. The district burned over lies
in the center of the business portion
of the city and among the buildings
were several of the most substantial
structures in the city In these build
ings were located large number OF
large stores and several wholesale es-
adjustments and three national
banks. The fire started in the base
ment of the store, but its origin Is in
doubt.
A large number of Christmas shop
pers crowded the Pelletier and other
stores and 1t was with difficulty that
all managed to escape from the burn
ing building. The flames enveloped
much of the building before the fire
department arrived and was quite be-
yond control. For 9k hours, until
they had gotten beyond the range of
the large buildings, the flames car
ried everything in their path.
The following buildings were entire
ly destroyed: The Massachusetts
building, occupied by the seven large
stores, including the Gillette Hardware
company, the Pullman hotel, Johnson
& Aronson, clothing and furnishings;
Orkin Bros, ladies' furnishings;
George Conway, wholesale tobacco and
cigars, and the American Express COM
pahy. Several families lived in the
rear of the building, but so far as
known all the occupants escaped. The
next building destroyed was the Com
mercial block In this structure were
located the City national bank, j. j.
Prugh, queensware; Warfield-Pratt
Howell company, wholesale grocers;
Peavey & Nash, furniture; Dow Cloth
ing company; Harsted & Halsuth,
shoes; Theodore Becker Tailoring
COIupduy, Wdlu A1uiuW mo ShPt~-J
and the Western Union Telegraph
company. Leaping across the alley the
fire next spread to the smaller build
ings facing Fourth street and to the
Tribune building, facing Pierce street
These included the Northwestern ma
/ tional bank, Seller Bros, wholesale
liquors, and Magner & Welsh's sa-
loon. The wires Of both the Postal
and Western Union Telegraph compa-
MES were in the path of the flames and
| in addition to, burning the Western
Union Office, also destroyed nearly q
block of cables connecting its system
| with the main Office The Postal COM
pany's office was not in the burned
| district, hut its wires were destroyed
The telephone company had a great
number of wires destroyed, but were
able to furnish partial communication
| to outside cities.
Other buildings burned include the
Leader hotel, at Third and Pierce
streets; the West hotel, a new struc-
ture at Third and Nebraksa streets:

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 2S.-Mrs. c. Il.
Kempter, mother of Mrs. Bessie Bou-
ton, is thoroughly convinced that the
victim of the Cutler hill Colorado
Springs) murder is her daughter. she
said the girls name is Doske, but she
rwas known as Bessie. The woman's
husband lives here. He is mechanic,
of good reputation. The couple lived
together only a short time and he has
not seen her since the parting. For a
time the young woman lived In New
York. For some time, she had been
travelling with a commercial man
named Milton Franklin, who had
given her thousands Of dollars worth
of diamonds
Colorado Springs Col, Dec. 2s.-The
theory that the woman murdered on
Cutler mountain near this city was
Mrs. Bessie Kempter Bouton, formerly
pf Syracuse, N. Y, Is still regarded by
the police here as the strongest yet ad-
yanced. The Butte, Mont, clew that
hhe woman may have been Mrs W. J'
Bodno, of that place, is discredited by
the statement that Mrs. Bodno had
had her dental work done very recent
Ily. The dental work in the mouth OF
,the dead woman showed considerable
wear, this fact being regarded by the
dental experts who have examined the
work as indicating that the dead wo-
man was not younger than 25 years OF
Age.

WALL STREET REVIEW
PRESSURE OF LIQUIDATION IS
 SOMEWHAT RELAxED.
Stocks Which Had Suffered From the Recent Declines Made the shar- pest Recoy oycrics-COvering
 of Shorts Responsible.

New York, May 17.-The pressure of liquidation on a small scale which has Kept prices of stocks tending downwaru for several days was relaxed today. This fact seemed to be the principal motive for the buying which lifted prices. In the language of the stock exchange the market had become oversold The fact that stocks which have suffered most from recent declines made the sharpest recoveries today and that the brokerage houses which did the buying were in some instances the same which had been con- spicuous in the selling were the grounds for conviction that covering of shorts was largely responsible for the recovery. There was no development In the news to account for a change of temper in speculation. But there were no new de- velopments to induce further selling. Un- favorable prospects for values do not warrant selling to. an indefinitely lower level of prices, the process inevitably adjusting the price level to the new con dition of values. Such a pause in pre- vailing tendencies as that of today marks the effort of operators to measure the values. A marked characteristic of the trading was the extreme dulness which overcome the market at the higher level. This does not argue we'll for the con tinuance of price movement in it's cur rent direction. The dsnclination to fol- low the advance had Its influence in re- newing the doubts of operators over the outlook for values and in turning the market heavy again. The most inn portant incident of the day was the pub lication of the weather bureaus weekly summary of crop conditions. It was of little influence on stocks owing to the little change indicated in previously ex- isting conditions Winter wheat was re- ported improving in the west. but in poor condition in the Ohio valley and the pro- gross of spring wheat seeding showed the same mixture of conditions. The unfavorable condition of the cotton crop was according to expectation. There were no additions to the engagements of gold for export and the rise in call money rates was checked, but the tone ports of the placing of some sterling loans here gave the impression that the course of money rates here and abroad was approaching the point of equilibrium which would stop the flow of specie from one point to another. The winding up of the extended United States Steel pre- ferred stock conversion syndicate was without disturbing effect either on the money market or the United States securities which was a fact negatively encouraging. The sharp drop in United States Rubber stocks on the publication of the annual report, pronounced by the president to be the best in it's history was an example of the inability of the market to absorb offerings of stock accu- mulated in anticipation of the report
 The closing was quite firm but the final rally was slight. Bonds were steady. Total sales par value $1.540,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call
