Two Honored Veterans.--AstOria was
honored yesterday by the presence of
two of her most venerable and veteran
citizens, John Mimic. of Salem, and
Robert S. McKewan, of Skippanon, both
fellow citizens of Clatsop county when
her big timbers were all saplings; the
former, now well along in the eighties"
and the latter just broaching his ninety.
third year; both firm and lifelong
"tillicms", and both as jolly and
hearty as kids. They missed each other
yesterday. but will probably get to-
gether today; and it will pay any for.
tunate son of the present to stand by
and hear what these busy old patriarchs
talk about; it would be revelation
and convey lesson of value to any
man. 1t is such men as these that alr
builders of states, and surely these two
may lay claim to such distinction, the
state herself sharing the honor Mr.,
McKewan was the first county clerk of
this county assuming the honor in 1882,
and Mr.. Mimic did special deputy sheriff
duty here sixty years ago this week,
Some of the "old boys" around here
were playing mumblety-peg and man
bles around the waterfront here when
these two men were shaping the dcsti
nies Of the Webfoot commonwealth,
May they both live long and prospect"

GERDRON MURDER
AS POLICE PLOT
- Ss-S
Bertha Claiche Alleged to Have
Been Pledged Immunity
;. by Policemen. -

New York, Feb. 27.-An unusual sit
uation, temporarily overshadowing the
real issue in the case, confronted the
court and jury when the trial of Berthe
Claiche for the murder of Emil Ger
dron was resumed in the criminal
branch Of the supreme court today.
This was the inquiry into the part
which certain policemen are alleged to
have had in aerdron S death. -. -t
Charges were made at the. opening
of the trial yesterday by Assistant Dis
triet Attorney Ely that two members
Of the police force aided the girl in
her deed and promised her immunity.
The largest part of the opening day
was spent Investigating this phase of
the case. Mr.. Ely brought out evidence
that, letter was sent to Gerdron be-
fore his death, and that after it $500
was reported to have been stolen from
the body. Altho he obtained no evil
dence to show who wrote the letter or
took the money, the prosecutor charged
that policemen were responsible in both
eases andathat by the letter Gerdron
/ was luredst to the place where he was
shot while under arrest.
Berthe Claiche herself apparently had
only a minor part in the first days pro
ceedings except as spectator She
frequently appeared to be greatly agi
tated, especially during the prosecu
tor g arraignment Of the policemen.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 27.-The Canadian
government has been forced by pres
sure of public opinion to consent to
the appointment of a royal commission
to investigate the whole Insurance aues-
tion in the Dominion. Ever since the
disclosures of .extravagant manage
York companies distinct feeling of I'M
easiness has prevailed in. Canada and
newspapers have been pointing out that
while the earnings of Canadian com
panies have enormously increased, the
dividends to policy holders have been
ldwindling. 1t is also pointed out that
the expenses of management have
grown beyond what might be consid-
cred fair ratio.
A commission OF inquiry will be ap-
pointed by the cabinet on Tuesday next.
