PRAISES DETECTIVE WORK.

The Attorney General Is giving me his earnest
support and confidence. and without II there
would be no possibility of success. The great
est credit for the unearthing of these frauds Is
due to Special Agent William ]. Burns OF the
Secret Service who was assigned to the case
at my request, on account of the magnificent
work which he performed in the notorious
Dimmick case in this city, and likewise in the
Hyde-Benson land fraud Mr. Burns is.
in my opinion the cleverest and ablest de-
tective in the world, and his success in Ore
gon in securing evidence has been phenomenal.

SECRETARY OF PORTLAND
GRAND JURY IN JAIL.
Man Prominent I'm Land Fraud Case
Beats His Wife I'm the
Street.

PORTLAND, Jan. 2.-Scandals in
the Federal Grand Jury. having in
charge the hearing of the land frauds,
terminated tonight in the arrest of
Carl Phelps, secretary of the body,
who was locked up in the city Jail on
a charge of being drunk and disor>
derly. When seen by policeman he
was beating his wife on Morrison
street. Portland's main thoroughfare,
and a large crowd had gathered to
witness the fight.
Policeman Austin was obliged to
call upon a citizen to assist him in
taking Phelps and his wife to the GEN.
trail station. where he was locked up
without bail. He fought furiously all
the way.
Questions put to Phelps and his
wife by Captain Moore developed the
fact that money that was to have been
used for the purchase of transporta-
ton had been spent for liquor, and
they were without funds. AS secre-
tary Phelps possesses all the infor-
nation that has been before the Grand
Jury. and is liable to severe punish
ment for his conduct. This is the Sec
ond scandal in the Grand Jury.

Portland for this city, but it is prob>

Senator Mitchell's position is similar
to one in which Senator Burton of

There is much in the play to satisfy
the lovers of military heroics, with a

to weep for. If the story and the ac-
tion do not produce tears there is pow
der smoke enough in the third Of the
five acts to bring water to the dryest
eye. The laugh or two through the
serious parts of the piece are to be
charged to the clever efforts Of Harry

act, where war is forgotten, his fun

was meritoriously bestowed upon
