Places Van Auker Under Arrest in
lawyers 0ffice-Is Not
Alarmed.

PORTLAND, Sept. 2l.-C. S. Van Au-
ker was arrested at 2:l5 this afternoon
by Robert L. Stevens, Sheriff of Multi.
nomah County. The charge is larceny
and the bail is placed at 5000. Ar
rangenents for depositing the bail are
now being made and at the earliest pos
sible moment Van Auker viii be re-
turned to Rainier for examination.
So far as known, there is no evidence
against Van Auker, other than circum-
stantial, and the alleged statement that
he had promised to reimburse the Raj
nier bank, of which he was cashier, for
the money which he said was stolen
Labor day, he stamps as absolutely
false.
According to Van Auker, Detective
Hartman and Mr.. Allen made propo-
sition to him, saying they would not
prosecute him If he would refund the
missing money. This proposition Van
Auker refused. and then it became pub
lie property that it was Van Auker who
made the proposal.
With warrant out for his arrest
and detectives looking for him, Van Au-
ker peacefully slept in Portland all
night, and rambled the streets in the
forenoon, visiting his lawyer, ex-Coun-
ty Judge w. M. Cake. 1t was in Cakes
office that Van Auker was apprehended
at late hour this afternoon, where
the former cashier had gone to submit a
written statement to his lawyer, be-
fore handing it to the press. His ar
rest put different face on the situation
and Judge Cake refused to have the
statement given out.

Senator Bracket Announces That He
Will Begin Contest on Behalf of
Sagc's Grand-Nephew--Great
Interest.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.--The an
nouncement that Senator Bracket OF
Saratoga would today begin a contest
Of the win OF Russell Sage has attract.
cd wide attention and interest, The
opinion was expressed among lawyers
that the case would develop into bit
ter and long drawn out legal battle.
While Senator Brackett viii begin pro-
ccedings only on behalf of Edison M.
Cronreed, the three.year-old grand
nephew Of Russell Sage, II has become
known that many Of the other heirs
have engaged counsel to watch the pro-
ceedings. Among the lawyers so en-
gagged are Postmaster William r. vii.
cox Of New York; Nelson p, Bonney, Of
Norwich, N. Y, and A. Welles Stump
These gentlemen and Senator Brackett
held conference yesterday. AT pres
ent neither Mr.. Wilcox nor Mr.. Bon.
ney mean to take any direct steps on
behalf of their clients, but they intend
to watch developments and be ready to
intewent at any time. The putting
forward Of the Conreed boy, according
to lawyers, is a shrewd move. Under
the terms of the will $4,000 was left
to twenty five Of the nephews and nieecs
Of Mr.. Sage, with the proviso that If
anyone Of them attempted to break the
will he would be absolutely cut out.
1t was evidently held that no one of
them would risk his share in the chances
Of the law. But Edison can only ex-
pect $6,250. He is the only son of the
late Mrs. Nathan s. Coneed, who as
one Of the four children of Alfrett
Lockrow, niece of Mr.. Sage, would
have come In for one.fourth of the
money left to her. If young Conreed
fails in his suit, 1t will be easy for
oil the other branches of the Sage fam.
lily to compensate him for his loss.
As they will not appear in the con.
test their own legaeies remain safe,
