ARRESTED IN BOSTON,.
Colorado Mining Man Prosecuted by
Creditors.

Boston, June 2S.-Henry W. Com
stock, the mine operator who recently
reported to the police that he had
been robbed of securities valued at
$120,0O0 from a Fall River boat, was
held for the grand jury yesterday on
the charge of larceny of two $1,000
bonds. Bail was fixed at $4,000. Mr..
Comstock declared that he would
make no endeavor to secure bondsmen
and he was committed to Jail. Mrs.
Cora rockingham of Atlantic, Massa-
chusetts, is the complainant.
James E. Hickey, manager of the
United States hotel, and James Martin
Gray, of New York, who have been
appointed assignees of Comstock's
property, today found $315,000 worth
of stock of the Ute Creek gold mine,
the Reta Alta copper mine and the
Pactolus gold mine, all situated in
Colorado, and notes for $4,000 Sc
cured by collateral of the stocks. The
assignees have no definite knowledge
of the amount of liabilities. but conjec-
ture they will reach 100000. The
Reta Alta mine is the only one Of the
properties being operated, and it is
said Comstock has invested $15000O
in this mine during the past eighteen
months.
1t appears that Comstock has been
doing brokerage business in stand
ard stocks, but no securities other
than those of his Colorado mines were
found in his safe.
There are about sixty-five creditors
in this state and almost all of these
are women.

ident of the Harvard Alumni Associa-
ton. Breakfast was served at the
bishops home and among those pres
ent, in addition to the President and
Private Secretary Loeb, were the pres
ident's son Kermit, who came from
Groton school; President Charles w.
Eliot Of Harvard University, Judge
Francis c. Lowell of the United States
Circuit Court, and Rev. Samusl Croth-
ers, pastor of the First Parish (Uni-
tarian) Church of Cambridge.
During the forenoon President
Roosevelt visited the rooms of the
Alpha Delta Phi Society, the Harvard
stadium and the Chestnut Hill resi-
dence of George C. Lee. father of the
Presidents first wife. The President
was then driven to the Oakley Coun-
try Club in Watertown, where the
class of 80 held an informal reunion
and luncheon was served.
A photograph Of the class was taken
and also photograph of the members
of the class who belonged to the same
student dining club as did the Presi-
dent OF the 166 members of the
class of so. 130 have registered at

kuropatkin Not Killed.

st. Petersburg, June 29.-The gen
eral staff announces that it has abb
solutely nothing to support the many
wild reports that General Kuropatkin
has been killed or has committed sui
eide and that portion of the Russian
army is surrounded. On the contrary,
the staff reports that the Russians
Nave achieved considerable victory.
According to information in posses
sion of the staff the operations thus
far have been in the nature of pre-
liminaries for a general engagement,
which has not begun.
They regard the movement of the
Japanese in Korea as being most seri-
Gus, believing that it indicates their
determination to drive wedge north
ward and isolate and invest Vladivo-
stok before the peace negotiations be-
gin. There are indications that the
Russians purpose to offer resistance
at the Tumen river.

dren and Then Shoots
Herself

Denver, June PA dispatch from
Hot sulphur Springs. Colorado, last

while in fit of temporary insanity, shot
and killed four of her five children and
then shot herself through the abdomen,
at Grand Lake on Thursday, died al
2:3O O'Clock thi lfternoon. Mrs. Gregg
was woman about forty-two years OF
age. Seven years ago she lost three
children by scarlet fever and was for
long time Frustrated with grief, and
1t is thought that constant worry over
the loss of the children affected her
mind. The family had a pleasant home
and was financially comfortable. The
funeral CT the mother and children will
be held at Grand Lake tomorrow at 10
O'Clock. The four children will be bur

The oldest boy. Lloyd, about fifteen

through the breast, Ralph, five years
old, was shot through the head, and
Harold, three years old, through the
stomach. All the children died almost
instantly. The mother then shot her
self in the left side, the ball passing
through her body and out of her back.
Watt Gregg, the husband, was at a
neighbor's house near by, and on hear
ing the shots started for his home ac-
companied by man. They first dis
covered the body of Mrs. Gregg lying
In the doorway in great pool of blood.
She begged them to kill her. Passing
on into the house the grief-crazed hus-
band found the lifeless forms of his
four children where the cruel bullets
had stricken them down.

Rockefeller's Gift to Yale.

New Haven. Conn, June 29.-When
Frank B. Brandagee, the newly-elected
United States senator from Connecti-
cut, yesterday said in Yale class re-
union that there was virtue in Yale
to cleanse all the tainted money in the
world he probably knew that John d..
Rockefeller had given the university
$1,000000.
News of the gift was not formally
told to the alumni till the general
meeting yesterday, when Prof. Arthur
T. Hadley announced it as the main
feature of his address. The 1,2OO
alumni in the room cheered wildly.
They doubled their cheers when Pres
ident Hadley told them that aside from
the Rockefeller gift 81 1,25O,O 900 had been
raised during the present spring
largely through the tireless efforts of
Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the uni
versity secretary, who has canvassed
the friends of Yale with fine tooth
comb for three months. Two of the
pledges he has received are for $780,
600 each.
The Rockefeller $1,OOO,OO0 is the
largest sum of money ever given to
Yale. Frederick w. Vanderbilt two
years ago gave the Sheffield Scientific
School two dormitories which probably
cost 100000 at least. No statement
of the uost was ever made. The late
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave Yale in 1898
the most expensive dormitory in men,
ory Of his oldest son, w. H. Vanderbilt,
who died when a Yale junior. This
dormitory is said to have cost $780,.
600.

CHASE IS IN COMMAND
REMOVAL PRONOUNCED ILLEGAL
Attorney Genera: Miller Decides That
Governor Peabody Exceeded
His Authority.

Denver, June 29.-According to an
opinion handed down yesterday by
Attorney General Miller, Gen. John
Chase is br1gadier general of the Ma
tional Guard of Colorado, and the
appointment by Governor Peabody OF
Col. Edward Verdeckberg last Janu-
ary to the position was Illegal and
void.
Copies of the opinion were sent to
Governor Mcdonald, General Chase
and Colonel Verdeckberg's attorney
late in the afternoon. Colonel Yer
deckberg. it is understood, will at
once institute quo warranto proceed
ings to oust General Chase, although
Rice w. Means. Colonel Verdeckberg's
attorney, declared last night that no
decision as to further action had been
reached nor would be until he had read
the opinion, a copy of which he had
not yet seen, and until it had been
subhitted to Colonel Verdeckberg,
who is now in California.
Governor Mcdonald said last night
that he would let the entire matter
rest now on Attorney General Miller's
decision. as he understood the ques-
ton was to be fought out in the courts
whichever way the opinion had re-
suited.
According to the attorney general,
the entire question of the removal of
General Chase by Governor Peabody
hinges on the fact that while the gov
ernor had perfect right to remove the
brigadier general of the National
Guard of Colorado for cause and to
appoint a successor, he was obliged
by constitution. statute and army reg
ulations to state the cause and to order
forthwith court martial to determine
the merits of such cause.
I'VE have gone into this matter at
great length" concludes the opinion,
"and we are unable to reach any other
conclusion than that the order made
by the governor on January 8, 1905,
is void and therefore did not remove
General Chase from the office of brig
adler general; that the appointment
of Colonel Verdeckberg to the position
of brigadier general was illegal and
void. because the law provides for
only one brigader general"
The opinion further says: 1.-The or
der of Governor Peabody provided for
the removal of General Chase for
cause. The authorities already cited
from this state and others show that
a removal for cause must be accom-.
panied by statement of the cause
and notice and hearing. These essen
tials were not complied with in the
attempted removal of General Chase,
and the failure to do so renders the
order void and of no effect, and its
issuance did not in any manner ope-
rate to remove General Chase from
the service"

Hcppner's Wheat Crop.

1t is estimated that Heppner will
receive about 100000 bushels OF
wheat this season. This will be about
5000 bushels short Of last year. The
shortage is accounted for by the fact
that the acreage was smaller this year
than last. As the grain is being
threshed yields are turning out fully
as well as last year and the quality Of
the wheat is somewhat better than
usual There are yet thousands of
acres of the best wheat lands in Nor
row county in the vicinity Of Hepp-
ner that have never been plowed. The
time will soon be here when this land
will all be farmed and Heppner will
be a big wheat shipping point.
