projected at a meeting Friday
night. There was a good at

manifested. Twenty-Five resi-
dents of that part of town have
signed. up as members of the in
dependent fire company that is
to be aaintaiued, and others have
said they wished to join later. ) !
/. The meeting Friday night re-
suited in the adoption of cou-
stitution aud bylaws which will
be presented at the next meeting
of the down town department, a
committee having been appoint
ed to meet with the regular FIRE
company and have an agreeable
understanding, that no friction
may arise between the old com
pany and the auxiliary.
It is the purpose of the Jobs
addition organization to fight
their own fires in the western
section of town, and in case the
chief of the down town depart.

hagration, then the first captain
of the new company shall act as
chief. In case of a down town
fire the Jobs addition members
are not to respond unless the fire
is of considerable magnitude,
when they would assist. The
whole organization, however,
according to present plans, will
be under the one chief, and it is
the aim of all interested to man
age the affair so that justice ane
the general welfare of all may bs
conserved and the greatest goot

game, but in some manner that
is not made plain, their first day
in camp was disastrous, for they
succeeded in burning up about
half their clothes, The second
day they spent away from camp
and on their return, found that
pigs had visited the premises and
had made a clean sweep of the
supply of provisions, leaving alb
solutely nothing for the pro-
prietors of the esta blishment. 1t
took the boys until 10 p. nj. to
hunt up a farm house and secure
enough rations to keep soul and
body together until morning.
On the way over to the Tide
water country, in going down
Digger mountain, the tongue
broke and the wagon and boys
were tipped over in |the road. but
all escaped uninjured. The last
heard from the crowd, they had
been helping ran ,her at "Mis-
souri, Bend" haul hay.
A telephone message from one
of the party few days ago stated
that "Bobbie'.' was sitting on the
"piano stool" in camp while the
message was being sent in; also
that some of them had been ar
rested for horse stealing and were
having numerous other troubles,
all of which receives due Gre
dence in Corvallis, where the
boys are known as tsprinces OF
good fellows"
They are expected to return
today, when particulars of their
trip will no doubt be greatly en-
joved by their friends.

Cracked Toledo Safe.

Toledo, the county seat of Lin
coin, had an experience with
bold, bad burglars last Wednes.
day night, although no particu-
lars OF the affair reached Corvallis
until phone message came Fr--
dav morning.
The Toledo bank stands next
door to the store of J. F. Stewart
and it is surmised that the burg
lars intended to crack the safe in
the bank but made mistake and
entered the wrong building, after
which they were either too timid
or lacked time in which to force
the bank safe.
Entrance to the Stewart store
was made through the rear Of the
building, and the lock on the safe
was drilled, the door then being
pried open. All the money in
the safe was taken, amounting, il
is stated to $42. The cash regis
ter was also looted of smaller
amounts, and two or three boxe:
of pocket knives were taken.

ties who did the deed, but cc1n

PROF. HoRNER AT HOME.
Tells How Bryan Put in Time on
Ocean Voyage.

Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Horner
reached Corvallis on the late train
Thursday night, from an all
summer visit to Europe. In
Portland the travellers were inter-
viewed by the Journal, and the
following is taken from that pa
per:
Professor J. B. Horner, of the
Oregon Agricultural college pas
sed through Portland today, ac-
companied bv Mrs. Horner, on
his way home from a sammer
tour of the countries bordering
on the Mediterranean sea. He
was we'll provided with cameras
and other necessary apparatus,
hence he returns with much val
liable material for class use in the
department of history, of which
he is in charge. ''.----
He said he found many Ameri-
cans abroad. Nearly all the At
lantic colleges and universities
have representatives in Europe
and the orient every vacation
equipping themselves more
thoroughly in history, economics,
art, music and other branches of
study. But owing to the dis
tance and additional expense and
time the practice has not become
as common in the west.
Professor Horner returned 20
New York on the German Eloyd
steamer on which Mr.. Bry-
an was also passenger.
He witnessed the reception ten
dered Mr.. Bryan upon his arrival
in New York CITY and expresses
the belief. that never before in the
history of America has such re-
ception been rendered to any pri-
vate citizen. Speaking of Mr..
Bryan's habits, he said: .
"The steatns hip Princess Irene
came we'll into port at Gibraltar
to take aboard William Jennings
Bryan. Several hundred passen-
gers went ashore to escort the
noted American citizen. But
while they were on the docks a.
waiting him a small, unpreten-
tious craft came alongside the
steamer and a figure, which in
dress and size was not wholly
unlike the late President McKin-
ley, looked up and confronted
banner which read: 'Oregou
for Bryan and Chamberlain" =" He
smiled, and the passengers 5apI
plauded, for it was Bryan. With
his wife and daughter he repaired
to a suite of rooms on board, and
for the remaining nine days oi
the journey no student could
have housed himself closer to his
work than did the great orator,
and we were convinced that ths
genius of endeavor had not beef
undervalued.
"The correspondent called or
him once or twice ane
found him literally buried il

READ TO SENATE AT REQUEST OI
 ALDRICH.
Bacon Refers to Recent Battle in PhfI- ippines as Slaughter of the Mo- ros--Number of Private Pen-
 sion Bills Passed.

Washington, March 15.-The Senate today continued consideration of the railroad question by listening to the reading of a report on the House bill by Mir. Tillman and to speech on that measure by Mir. Nelson.
 Mir. Tillman's report was read at the request of MT. Aldrich, who said that he was curious to hear the opinion of the South Carolina Senator.
 Brief attention was given to the mes sage of the President transmitting the letter of the Secretary of War relative to the recent Moro battle. Mir. Bacon spoke of the killing of the Moros as slaughter" and MT. Lodge deprecated criticism until the facts should be known.
 The House resolution giving the in- terstate commerce commission author ity to administer paths in connection with it's investigation of charges of discrimination made against railroads was adopted without restoring to the formality of requiring its reference to committee.
 Mir Stones resolution directing an inquiry into the post office rulings on the admission of college publications to the mails as second class matter al- so was adopted.

books of the New York Life. I never saw the inside of one of their books. And when a thousand dollars or five thousand dollars came into my pos session, I gave my voucher for it.

Mccall I had to go up and show cause before-well l had to show cause first before I went into 1t. and when I came back I had to show cause for my bills. So I never knew and could not know how the ac- counts were charged; whether $5,000 was charged to this account or to that. or the other I did not keep their books. I had no responsibility for that and if there were errors and wrong in that 1t lays right down with the ad ministration and 1t comes right back to the Board of Trustees of the New York Life and to nobody else.
 Just One Chapter.
 Now I am simply in this interrup- tion of the ordinary course of the hear ing today giving one chapter. The volume will be made of successive chapters.
 About the methods and vouchers: have no excuse whatever to offer about the form of the vouchers that were accepted for the disbursements that I made to the various branch agencies. The insurance world today is the greatest financial proposition in the United States. And as great af- fairs always attend 1t, 1t commands a higher law. Tn defending it's rights and It's property you cannot stop to kick every cur that comes along and barks. and if you could sweep them out In other perhaps mysterious but honest ways, you are defending and asserting the higher law which great insurance companies have right to command. So I say when these vouch- CTS were given over they were right, and when the auditing committee ap- proved them, thea they stand as spon- sors for them. If they did not approve them then they failed to perform their duty. And the reason I come apologize for these vouchers. but to say this: These men with their respon- abilities upon their shoulders and up- on mine, they have something to ac- count for.
 They may talk about the yellow dog but the yellow dog is a dog of courage and loyalty. but the CUTS who stood around this funeral that has oc- cured, and the CUTS who knew of these transactions and shrunk into their shoes, they are the CUTS and that is the reason that come to speak before you and say that the great interest of two billions of dollars of life insur- auce and four hundred millions of dol lars of assets can never be safely en- trusted to the hands and the admin istration of lot of CUTS
