TRY TO SAVE JEROME.
River Steamer and Cargo May Be Re-
covered.

Wallula, Wash, Sept. 6.-The own
ers of the freight steamer Jerome,
wrecked in West Rapids, below the
mouth of Snake river Saturday after
noon. are to make a determined effort
to raise the boat.
An examination of the wreck yes
terday showed that the injuries are
not so bad as at first reported. The
only visible injury is a gaping hole in
the bow, through which the water
flowed so fast that the poat settled
within few minutes after the acci-
dent. It is possible that the bottom
of the boat was punctured when she
settled on the rocky river bed.
The boat lies in about 10 feet of
water. The lower deck is submerged
to a depth of two feet but the cabin
and upper works are well above the
water. An experienced boat man will
be empoyed by the others in an ef-
fort to save the boat.
The cargo of wheat will be removed
and an effort then made to tow the
boat to shallow water where repairs
can be made. The wreck was visited
by a large number of people from this
place and Kennewlck Sunday and yes

ROBBING PATIENTS
SENSATIONAL STORY
FROM MULTNoMAH.
Governor Chamberlain Investigating
Charges Against Guardians APP
pointed for Insane Persons by Multi
nomah County Court-Russian Pa
tient Complains OF Exorbitant Fees
Exacted From Him.

The Salem Statesman prints the fol-
lowing sensational story about the al
legged robbery of insane patients sent
to the asylum, from Multnomah coun-
ty;
Complaints have been made to the
officials of the asylum for the insane
and others, and in more than once
case to the effect that some irregu-
larities in the manner of handling of
the property of persons committed to
the asylum from Multnomah county
are suspicioned and the whole matter
has been brought to the attention of
the board of trustees of that institu-
tion for investigation.
The duty of making the investiga-
ton has been delegated to Governor
Chamberlain and he is now working
upon the case quietly but diligently.
The difficulty seems to lie in the
custom of appointing guardians, by
the Multnomah county court to take
charge of estates of persons commit
ted to the asylum, which usually con-
sists of cash, and according to the ma
ture of the complaints being received,
the guardians appointed are in the
bit of charging exorbitant fees for
their services with the result that
there is little left when the patient
returns to make final settlement.
The most recent case Of this kind to
have been called to the attention of
Superintendent Calbreath and other
officials is that of Charles Stormen.
who was committed to the asylum
from Multnomah county about year
ago, and it is this case which the gov
ernor has under investigation.
Stormen, who is a Russian by birth,
according to his own story, came to
Portland from San Francisco to seek
employment. He says that he began
drinking in Portland, became intoxi-
Gated and was arrested.
He claims that he was brought be-
fore the police judge the next morn
ing and through threats of prosecu-
ton for some crime that ne was said
to have committed, he was induced to
sign statement to the effect that he
was insane. An examination was had
and he was committed to the asylum.
All of his property on his person
was taken possession of by the court
and later a guardian was appointed
by Judge L. r. Webster to look after
his money, represented to have
amounted to $454 and some cents.
Stormen displayed some uumistaka'
BILE signs of mental alteration wher
brought to the asylum, in the form o.
a halucination that someone was try
ing to kill him by placing poison IL

A Baker City man who has just
returned from Trout creek meadows,
near Granite, says hunters are carry
ing on a wanton slaughter of elk
which are said to be very numerous
on the breaks between Trout creek
and north fork of the John Day.
The day the Democrats informant
came out of the mountains he heard
a veritabble cannonading going on
and there was every reason to sup

A Full Stop.

A returned traveller who spent half
of his holiday in a tour of Ireland
brought back a sample Of the happy
go-lucky wit of the Irish "jarvey," or
driver. In a breakneck race down a
hill he suddenly realized that the
spirited little Irish mare was running
away.
"Pull her upv' he shouted, excited
ly.
Hold tight, your honor" re
turned the jaryey, easily.
Pull her up!" again commanded
the traveller, making a grab for the
reins.
''For your life don't touch the
reins," the jaryey answered, without
tightening his grip. "Sure, they're as
rotten as pears"
The traveller made ready to jump,
but the jarvey laid a soothing hand
on his shoulder.
'Sit easy" he said, reassuringly
''I'll turn her into the river at the
bridge below here. Sure, that'll stop
her."

ADMITS BANK THEFT.
MYSTERY OF SEVEN YEARS DUR
ALTON is EXPLAINED.
Janitor of Lima, Ohio, Block Confesses
Having Allowed Himself to Be Locked
in Vault for Purposes of Robbery
Finds Northw est Passage.

The mystery surrounding the robbery
seven years ago of the American Ma
tional Bank in Lima, Ohio, of S1S,OOO
was cleared up by the confession to
Prosecutor William Klinger of Elijah
Bowsher, formerly janitor of the Fau-
rot opera house block, in which the
bank was located. Bowsher and Thomas
Wilkins, a real estate agent, were IN
dicted by the grand jury few days ago
for the robbery and Bowsher exonerated
Wilkins, but implicated Benjamin O..
Faurot, formerly a millionaire and presl-
dent of the old National bank. Faurot
died penniless in Sandusky year ago.
None of the vault doors, locks or time
locks of the bank had been damaged, and
the theory was that Cashier kalb and
Vice President Michael had committed
the crime. Michael was indicted two
years later, but Prosecutor Klinger
withdrew the Indictment. Later Mrs,
Wilkins told Klinger in an idle CONVEX
sation that Kalb and Michael We're not
guilty. The prosecutor finally got Mrs,
Wilkins assistance q month ago, meet
ing being arranged where the conversa-
ton between Wilkins and BOWsher was
overheard and taken down by the cou1iss
stenographer. BOWsher ana w lkllf'
were then arrested.

sideboard," said the judge. ut can be
said to the credit of the army that this
entire case has not developed one sin
gle case of drunkenness"
Soaking of the main cause of the
differences between the Taggarts, the
court stated: ct appears that there
never was any dispute about financial
matters and that all the difficulty was
due to their relations with Others"
The judge concluded: 81 will leave
the gross neglect and two charges Of
adultery stand as the ground of the
divorce, giving Captain Taggart the
divorce"
The Taggart trial lasted seven
weeks The case went to the court
month ago. The suit was first start
ed in July, 1904, by Captain Taggart,
who filed petition for divorce charg
ing his wife with conduct unbecoming
a wife and alleging the excessive use
Of intoxicants. Mrs. Taggart heard Of
the proceedings in San Francisco sew
eral weeks later and Immediately
started for Wooster, the home Of the
Taggarts, where she filed a counter
petition for divorce against Captain
Taggart on the grounds of cruelty and
neglect.
The case has been of exceptional in
terest because of statements during
the trial by Captain Taggart that the
use of intoxicants in the army was so
common as to be almost the custom.
A number of prominent army officers
were named in Captain Taggart's petit
ton as having been more or less the
cause of the domestic troubles between

MEET DEATH IN HUGE WAVE.
Six Killed and Thirty-six Injured in
Cunard Lines Campania.

Cunard Lines Gam p0nIas
Five persons swept overheard, one
dead after an operation and thirty
six injured is the roster of victims OF
the tremendous wave that descended
upon the Cunard line steamship Cam
pania off the great banks Of New
foundland Wednesday. SO sudden was
the coming of the disaster and so great
the confusion which attended and fol-
lowed it, that even the officers of the
steamer themselves were unable upon
the vessels arrival in New York to es-
innate the full extent of the tragedy.
The Campania was blowing along
under full Roadway. A heavy quarter
ing sea was running, but the weather
conditions were far from unpleasant
and the big boats decks We're crowd
ed with passengers. The steerage deck
was covered with merry-makers and
there was nothing to indicate the APP
preaching disaster, when suddenly the
big steamer lurched to port and
scooped up an enormous sea. The
wave boarded the steamer about mid
ships on the port side and swept clear
across the steerage deck, completely
filling the space between that deck and
the deck above, carrying every thing
with it. So deep was the steamers
side buried that the passengers on the
deck above the steerage were sub
merged to their waists as the immense
volume of water rolled aft and then
surged forward.
Others, dashed against the rails and
other like distractions, escaped death.
but many of them received severe in
juries. One young woman had both
legs broken at the thigh and several
persons suffered broken arms and ribs.
while more than a score We're bruised
and battered.
All the cabin passengers on the up
per deck succeeded in clinging to sun
ports, while the waters surged around
them, and were saved, but the unfor-
tunates on the steerage deck found
themselves utterly helpless. The ire
sishble rush Of waters, sweeping to-
ward the forward part of the ship. car
ried everything before it. So great
was the volume and force of the rush
ing waters that door in the rail was
smashed and through this opening five
of the helpless ones were swept to
their death.

II have been a coffee drinker all my

"A year or two ago became subject

to remain in dark room for two or

mad one solitary headache in all these
eight months. No more of my DAYS are

making grand total for the entire fair
period of 2,545,509. The attendance for
the last day ranks third in point of num-
bers, Portland day and Fourth of July
being the only greater days.
The exposition was entirely successful
In point OF attendance all predictions
were beaten. While the fair was we'll

throngs of visitors from all parts of the
United States We're constantly in the
city, often taxing the hotel capacity to
the limit. Naturally the merchants are
we'll satisfied with the success of the ex-
position. Financially also the exposition
went beyond all expectations It is
known beyond a doubt that the stock
holders will receive a dividend of at
least ~ per cent, while it is more than
possible that 40 per cent dividend will
be declared. This places Portland Sec
ond only to Omaha in financial records
for worlds fairs and fourth in point of
attendance among twelve that have been
held.
The State of Oregon appropriated
100000, of which $4,000 was expend-
ed in making an exhibit at ST. Louis and
100000 in the erection of a building
and expenses of the exhibit in Portland.
More than $4,000 of the appropriation
will be returned to the treasury I'M
used, with additions from salvage.
Alone of all structures of the 1907
fair the forestry building, the largest log

purpose to retain it as permanent ex-
hibit building and several acres of land
surrounding it will be acquired as part
of the park system of Portland.
Population of Portland by recent CEN

ANNUL MARKETS. CONTRACT.

Canal Supplies Will Be Handled Under
Comm issioner's Order.
The last action of the Panama canal
commission before sailing from Colon
for New York was the annulment of the
contract awarded to j. E. Markell of
Omaha, Neb., for feeding and caring for
the employees of the canal. The reason
for this action is that Chief Engineer
Stevens, through the department of ma
terials and supplies. under Messrs. Jack
son and Smith. is handling the commits
saries successfully, rendering unneces-
sary the arrangement.
The contract with Mr.. Markell was to
run FIVE years and it was estimated that
it would involve $5O,000,000. Hudgins
& Dumas, one of;the other firms bidding
fer the contract. protested against the
award to Mr.. Markell. alleging favorit-
ism and charging that the latter was
enabled through a leak in the Office of

TAGGART is GIVEN DECREE.
Court Also Awards the Captain Custody
of the Children.

OF the (n1.OTens
At Wooster, Ohio, Captain Gilmore
f. Taggart, q. S. A, was awarded
decree Of divorce from his wife, Grace
Culver Taggart, and given possession
Of their two children, Charles Culver,
aged IL, and Elmer F., Jr., aged q.
The sensa tional case which has stir
red army circles both in this country
and Europe reached its finale Friday
afternoon when Judge Eason, who
heard the evidence, read a long opin-
ion.
The court, though denying Mrs.
Taggart the custody Of the two boys,
ordered that she be permitted to see
them at stated intervals. In this re-
spect alone was Mrs. Taggart given
much consideration.
Judge Eason clearly leaned to the
theory that the mother was not fit
person to whom to intrust her off
spring. Among the causes for reach
ing this conclusion was Mrs. Taggart's
alleged intrigues with BILLY" Taggart
and with Captain Fortesque, said to
be a relative Of President Roosevelt.
The court censured both woman and
men severely.
Judge Eason had a good deal to say
about the use of intoxicants, and said
that the charge of excessive drunken
ness preferred against Captain Tag
CART had not been sustained. The
habit of imbibing frequently was a
subject of comment, however, and
evidently the court believed that it
played a part in the alienation of the
couple.
1.-THE first time Captain Taggart saw
the flush of liquor on his wife's brow
he should have banished it from his
