DENIES THEFT STORY
Management of Portland Cafe Says
Nothing Was Stolen.

The management of the Portland res
taurant is at loss to know why GER
tain stories have been circulated con-
cernng the alleged theft from fhe
kitchen as nothing has been stolen
from the restaurant
This morning after the Commercial
club banquet newspaper article ap-
peared which stated that some hams
and other edibles had disappeared from
the kitchen while the night employees
were busy serving the customers. Ac-
cording to the story the thieves climb
ed over the fence back of the restaur-
ant and entered the kitchen.
The management emphatically denies

J. w. Cookery Returns From
Olympia Where He Helped
Draft a Bill

Governor Mead thinks that the
open river bill will receive favora bic
consideration said j. w. Cookery
who returned from Olympia this morn
ing.
Mr.. Cookery had long talk with
the governor and says that he is much
impressed with the open river bill and
the benefit it will be to a large part
of the state.
The Walla Walla delegation is max
ing a fine impression at the state cap
ital according to Mr.. Cookery. He
says that several people whom he talk
ed with said that Walla Walla rer
resentatives We're far above the over
age Legislators. Each of them has In
troduced bills which have good pros
pect of passing.
The bill which the undertakers are
pushing to have the licensing of en-
balmeTs put in the hands of a special
commission was Mr.. CoOkerly's reason
for going to the capital He says that
it has every prospect of passing. IL
the commission called for money ap-
preparation it would probably mees
with a cold reception from the econO-
mical legislature but all expense of
the examination are to be born by the
undertakers' association.
At present the undertakers are ex-
amined by the state board of health
many of whose members know little
about the principles of embalming.
While the new commission will have
the president and secretary of the
board of health on it there will also
be three licensed embalmers who Will
be appointed by the governor.
Mr.. Cookery reports chilly weather
in Portland when he came through that
city yesterday. He also attended the
examina ton of undertakers in Tacoma
and says that only four passed out
of IL who took the examination. II
is becoming harder and harder each
year for incompetent persons to get
permission to prepare bodies for snip
ment.

Mrs. ThaW Appears in Court
to, Watch Trial
STONY GLANCE FOR EVELYN
Prisoner Depends on Women
In Selecting Jurors to Try
His Case

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Evelyn Thaw
and May Mckenzie appeared early this
morning, Evelyn carrying satchel
containing her noon lunch, which she
and May ate in the clerks room ad-
joining the court room during recess.
Evelyn was a pathetic figure today
broken and crushed under weight of
apprehension.
The prisoners mother attended court
today, illness having prevented her
appearing yesterday. Her sons, Ed
ward and Josiah. and Mrs. Carnegie,
accompanied her There was no
greeting from mother to Evelyn. who
searched the woman's face in mute
appeal for sympathy.
Thaw shook his mothers hand when
she appeared. but apparently did not
see her eyes. which followed him as
he took his seat.
The defendant continues an active
interest in the selection of jurors.
When man appeared to be
acceptable to the attorneys Of
both sides, Thaw turns to his
wife and mother trusting to feminine
instincts rather than to himself, or
others. Frequently he gets a nod Of
acceptance from them before agreeing.
James NJ Ketchum replying to
question said he was pleased to state
he didn't know Stanford White and
he had formed an opinion from the
newspapers.
This is the first time anything re-
fiecting upon the regulations of the
principals has appeared in the trial and
it was during tilt between Jerome and
Hartridge. Ketchum was excused. The
name of Charles H. Nesbit was called
and attracted the scrutiny of the de-
PENDANTS wife wishing to see the man
of the same name as hers. The state
peremptorAy challenged Faire who is
aged thirty and married.
