CASE CLOSED
ARRESTOF DOUGLASS
ENDS MATTER
In the Douglass bennett
Case
So Far as Police are
Concerned-Company
Now Have the
Bonds.

New York, April 24.-Confiictine
statements we're made today by per.
sons representing the Trust Com
pany of America in the Douglass
bennett case of stolen bonds. VIM
F. Sheehan, counsel for the company
and one Of the company's officers, de.
clared tha tthe entire case. SO far as
the police are concerned. had been
closed with the arrest OF w. o
Douglass, the assistant bond clerk
who took the securities from the
vault, and oliver NJ. bennett, the
broker who received and used a
large part OF them. Another man
who is familiar with all the details oil
the case. declared that third party
was being sought out who, 1t is be-
lieved, engineered the looting OF the
vaults and furnished the brains for
the Douglass-D bennett combination.
1t turned out today also that the
trust company has not recovered
actual possession of all the bonds
that we're taken. Statements made
by officers of the company on Tues
day were to the effect that the bonds
had actually been recovered. Presi-
dent Oakley Thorne said today that
there are ninety bonds, valued at
$4,000, which are not yet In the
companys hands. These bonds have
been located and are regarded by the
officers as legally in the company's
possession. The brokers who hold
the bonds refuse to give them up
without some sort of guarantee
that they will be held harmless in
the transaction. President Thorne
said the company had paid out s77,
900 as a debt balance In recovering
bonds. The two amounts added make
the $4,000, which he fixed as the
company's loss up to the present. Ac-
tions will be brought TO recover the
bonds II they are not returned. and
II is likely also that efforts will be
made to compel the reimbursement
OF the trust company for the money
NhiNh ~ nus Dtth VDllbeu W Pdy out
to recover some of the bonds. The
company refused today. as It has ev-
cry day since the theft became
known, to give out the actual total
value of the bonds which were taken.
Considerable criticism was heard In
Wall street to day at the failure OF
the Infringement TO come out with a
def4ite statement making public he
list OF securities that were taken and
the ones that have been recovered.
President Thorne admitted today that
the larcenies from the company had
been going on for probably year.
Both Douglas and bennett were ar
raigned In the west side police court
before Magistrate Walsh today and
each was held for trial In $4,000
bail.

Hollidays0urg, Pa, Jan. 10.--The
plant of the Standard Powder COM
pany at Tjorral station, four miles
from here, was destroyed by an eX-
plosion this morning. NJ lives We're
last. The explosion was caused by a
fire which started in one Of the build
ings. One hundred thousand dollars
damage was done. The report Of the
explosion was heard % miles.
The residence of John Walls, a mile
away. was blown in pieces and other
houses badly wreckde.
The fire continues eating its way
toward the south store, where 5000
kegs of powder ana two carloads Of
dynamite are stored.
The inhabitants OF Frankstown val
lev are fleeing 10 the hills to find
shelter.
Latcr.-The fire is now under con-
troll. The wind changed and remoV-
cd the store houses from danger.

To bring to Pendleton the head
quarters for the eastern division OF
the Blue Mountains forest reserve Is
now the desire of the local sheepmen,
and they hope to have such done.
When the National Woolgrowers' as
sociation meets in Salt Lake on jan
uary IS, a majority Of the executive
committee from the Oregon associa-
ton will be there. and according to
President Burgess. they will request
that the headquarters be removed
from Sumpter to this city. Messrs.
Pinchot and Potter. chief forester and
head of the grazing department re-
spectively, are the powers that be in
the matter. SO to them supplication
will be made.
At present the headquarters for the
eastern division is at Sumpter To
| that mining town the sheepmen were
required to go when the recent re-
! serve meeting was held for the pur-
| pose of making allotments for 1907.
| Two-thirds Of those who attended
We're from this county or places west
| of here. Consequently a long trip
was involved and much time taken,
| especially so since the train service
| between Baker City and Sumpter is
| somewhat slow. At that time many
comments were made regarding the
holding of the meeting in the far off
town. and upon their return the wool
men were even more adverse to
| Sumpter as a "Sheep Town" though
they had no objections to 1t as a min
| ing city.
Apparently the only reason why
| Sumpter was chosen for headquar-
ters was the fact that Superintendent
d. B. Shelter resided there at the
time he was appointed. However,
that fact is not regarded by tine
sheepmen as valid reason why the
| headquarters should be continued
there to the inconvenience of the
growers. Next year. It rs said an
other reserve meeting will have to be
| held. Then, while no subsequent gem
eral meetings may be needed. it will
| be necessary for many stockmen to
visit headquarters annually for the
| pulpbst VI SetuIlllS llltll dllpNlllehlS
and transacting other business with
the department.
According to President Burgess, of
the State. association. The eastern di-
vision is used mainly by sheepmen of
| Umatilla, Morrow. Gillian, Wheeler
and Wasco counties. Some Union
county men also have range, but for
them Pendleton is more accessible
than Sumpter. There are but few
sheepmen in Baker county. while but
a small number were present from
Malheur or other interior counties
| tributary to Baker
In view of ali the circumstances
the local sheepmen hold that Peudle-
ton is the logical place for the re-
serve headquarters as we'll as for the
northwest stock inspection. As a
result they will request that the
change be made.

HARRY GIBSON BOUND OVER.

Harry Gibson. erstwhile secret

the conclusion of the same Commits
sioner Haley acted as noted above.
That his client is not proper sub
iect for the state federal court is be-
lieved by S. A. Newberry, who de-
Tended Gibson yesterday. In plain
English the lawyer declares Gibson
is not qualified mentally to Intention
ally commit the crime he is accused
of. Besides, he argues that he did
no injury to any one by his actions

M'KINLEY's SPECIAL REPORT.
Highly Pleased With What lie Saw
ON the Isthmus.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Representa-
tive McKinlcv, of the second Califor-
mia district, who had charge of the
congressional party which recently
visited Panama on tour of inspec-
tion, has written for the exclusive use
of the scripps News Bureau an article
on his personal observations as to the
progress of work on the canal and the
problems confronting the administra-
tion. He Says:
"1'he first thing that strikes an OBJ
servant is the sharp contrast between
the methods employed by the French
20 years age and our today. Two
years of American occupancy of the
canal zone, and progress Of work
urder American direction, bespeak
the fat: that up TO date methods have
advanced the work more than 100 per
cent since tho French abandoned the
enterprise, and forces the conclusion
that while under French methods the
building OF the canal might be pos
sbility, under American methods its
construction is a certainty.
Everywhere splendid activity and
Organized industry manifest. If the
president saw half the activity in con-
gress the canal delegation witnessed
he indeed would be more than pleased
with the progress"
