GUILTY OF THEFT
SAYS THE JUDGE
Criminal Charge is Made in InuranCe
Investigations.
Jerome Asks for Warrents for Per-
kns, Bliss and Cortelyou - Per-
kins Committed Larceny, Bliss
and Cortelyou Received Stolen
Goods, He Says.

New York, March "a If the grand
jury which is investigating some of
the conditions developed by the recent
legislative investigation reaches the
conclusion that contributions of in
surance company funds to political
campaign committees were made with
intent to defraud the true owner of
this property, it must find that larceny
has been committed. This opinion
was expressed today .by Justice O'Sul-
livan in the Court of General Sessions,
in answer to presentment on the sub
ject submitted to him by the grand
Jury. Judge O'Sullivan added that it
is not within the province of the court
to say whether or not there was such
intent. That is a question which the
jurors must determine for themselves
from all the facts and circumstances in
the case. He charged the jury to make
a thorough investigation into all the
facts and to place the responsibility for
such crimes, if they find that crimes
were committed.
Mr.. Jerome was in court today and,
when Judge O'Sullivan had delivered
his opinion, the district attorney asked
the jury to remain, as he desired to ad-
dress it upon the subject in question.
He declared that Judge O'Sullivan had
misconceived the subject which he had
considered, and that if the court held
to its opinion, it would be the duty of
the grand jury to return indictments
against George w. Perkins, ex-vice
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance company, for larceny, and against
George B. Cortelyou, chairman, and
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer, of the
Republican National committee, as re-
ceivers of stolen goods.

a freproof vault. The board thus
settled further controversy for five
years regarding the permanent loca-

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.
Growth Has Been Enormous, Despite
Attempted Reduction.


Washington, March 81. - Trade OF
the United States with Canada in the
fiscal year 1905 aggregated $202, ,949,-
2l3, against $50, ,429, ,096 in 1895, ac-
cording to bulletin issued by the de-
partment of Commerce and Labor. II
shows that in the years from 1875 to
1895 our trade with Canada increased
$67 900, 900, and from 1895 to 1905 it
increased STA 10000
The larger portion of this growth has
been on the export side. The imports
increased from $27 1857, ,6l5 in 1875 to
$62, ,469, 432 in 1905, and exports ad-
vanced from $34,547,2l9 in 1875 to
$14O, ,529, ,5s1 in 1905.
"This rapid growth in trade relations
with Canada," says the bulletin, sis
especially interesting in view of the
varying conditions to which commerce
with Canada has been subjected. Dur
ing the period from 1855 to 1866 re-
ciprocity treaty was in force between
Canada and the United States, but in
the the latter year it was determined,
80 that commerce between the two
countries was unaffected by special
trade arrangements until April, 1898,
when the United States was placed at a
slight disadvantage as compared with
the United Kingdom, products from
that country entering the Dominion OF
Canada being admitted, by special ar
rangement, at reduction of 12h per
cent of the tariff levied on imports
from other countries.
august l, 1898, the reduction Of
British products was increased to 25
per cent, and on July l, 1900, was still
further increased to 331s per cent.
Despite these advantages in favor Of
goods entering Canada from the United
Kingdom, exports to Canada from that
country grew from $29, ,743,712 in IS 7
to $50, ,6O3,556 in 1904, while exports
from the United States grew from
$64, 92s, 1925 in 1897 to $40, ,529, ,5Sl in
1906"
The percentage of imports to Canada
from the United States in 1905 was
6O.6 and from the United Kingdom "a
per cent,

CREATED AT LAST.
President Sets Aside Blue Mountains
for Timber Purposes.


Observation-Disclosures Roosevelt, on
recommendation Of the forest service,
has signed proclamation creating the
Blue mountain forest reserve in Eastern
Oregon, to embrace 1927 ,27O acres.
The reserve as created follows the gen.
eral lines of the temporary withdrawal
made three years ago, with the excep.
tion of 1000 acres in the valley OF
the Sllvies river, which has been elm.
mated because of the agricultural ma.
ture of the land. Around the edge OF
the withdrawal small tracts of agricul-
tura. and school land have been elm.
mated and the boundaries are 80 drawn
as to exclude all land lying along the
border which has passed into private
ownership under any pubic land laws.
The original Blue mountain with
drawal embraced moro than 8, 1000, 900
acres. About 5000 acres have been
left out, so as to make the reserve a
compact body of forest land.

Manv Buv WaIIowa Timber.

Wallowa-Locators have been doing
much business the past three months
on account of wild rush by local men
and outsiders to secure claims in the
pine, fiji and tamarack forests of Wal
Iowa county. Sections which sold at
$1.25 an acre were bought fret, and
only those claims remain which are in
the $3.50 sections. There are but a
few more claims open fer location, and
it is expected the locating season will
be closed within 80 days. Capitalists
are buying much of this timber, and
from individual holders claims pur.
chased for less than $500 are selling at
from 81 900 to 81, 900 each. These
carry from 100000 to 100000 feet
to the quarter section.

the effect that the robbery of $432, 900
from its vaults March 20 will not affect
its solvency. The employees deny Civ
ing the key of the vault to the robbers,

the band grimly offered to give re-.
ceipt for the money in the name of the
revolutionary committee, but this was
declined.

Fortune in a New Carnation,

New Bedford, Mass, March 26.- H
A. John, a local florist, has succeeded
in developing white carnation which
promises to surpass every famous pink
heretofore raised and for which he has
refused an offer of $4,000. 1t is a
carnation which, according to florists
fills long felt want in that it is a per-
feet white flower of extraordinary size,
with a stem of great length, and a ca
lyx which will not burst. Added to
these, 1t has another essential of the
successful carnation - exquisite frag
rance.

Governor Curry, of Samar. May Be
Captive of PuIajanes.
Manila, March %. - In the recent
recent fight at Magtaon in the center of
Samar between the constabulary and a
force of Pulajanes two constabulary
officers and several privates were
wounded. The loss of the Pulajanes
is unknown. Governor Curry is miss-
ing.
Governor Curry, Judge Lobiner and
Superintendent OF Schools Hoover pro-
ceeded to a town expecting to receive
in surrender large band of Pulajanes.
1t is now suspected that the offer by
the Pulajanes to surrender was a
treacherous ruse.
Reinforcements of constabulary have
been ordered to proceed to the district
and Provincial Treasurer Whittier, of
Samar, has recommended that Federal
troops be held in readiness.

Long Winter in WaIlowa.

=, - Wal]owa - Snow covers the entire
Wallowa valley and county, varying in
depth from five inches on the Imnaha
and Grand Ronde river bottoms, to II
inches on the foothills of the Joseph
mountains. Stockmen are somewhat
anxious concerning feed. The unusual
long season will necessitate using much
more hay than is customary in average
winters. Though this is hay produc-
ing county, and though great crops of
hay were put away last season, and
much old hay was left over, it is ex-
pected that there will be no surplus.

Great Loss in Malheur County.

Baker City-Sheepmen and stockmen
of Malheur county are offering $50 a
ton for hay, according to report, and
the price is rapidly advancing, as very
little feed could be bought even at this
fabulous price. 1t is estimated that
the storm which has swept over tie
country during the past week will re.
suit in the loss of at least 25 per cent
of the livestock of Malheur county, as
many sheep and cattle were upon the
range when it struck.
