Former Salem Man Lost.

Charles Cartwright, formerly of
this city, who about year ago went
to California may be seriously Ill or
lost in the mountains say his rea-
tives here. It has been the custom
of Mr.. Cartwright to write to his
wife every other day while In Cali
fornia. He also wrote to his bro

Dr.. Cartwright has received a let
ter from his mother, who resides in
Decoah, Iowa, the home of Mrs
Charles Cartwright, which says that
a letter was received from Charles
about month ago saying that he
was going up in the mountains to
look at a farm with the view of
buying It. Nothing more has been
heard from him, although several let
ters have been written. His rela-

CAN STATE TREASURER
STEEL GET NEW BONDS?

The American Surety Bond Com
pany, of New York, that has had to
make good over $4,000 of cash on
the bonds OF State Treasurer Steel
has declared that Il does not want 20
give any more bonds for that official
The governor, who Is the custodian
OF the state treasury, has demanded
new bonds of the state treasurer,
and it Is question whether he can
give them or not. It Is stated as a
fact that the large banks of Port
land did not carry any state money,
and do not want the account. II IS
possible that some banks, TO get the
account. will give the 100000 bond
required. II is believed the Ladd q
Bush bank could give it and handle
all the business OF the state treas
ury, but that would conflict with the
state depository law. IL is under
stood that Governor Chamberlain,
Secretary OF State Benson and At
torney- General Crawford have agreed
on a plan by which a monthly state
ment OF the affairs of the state treas
try will be made public, showing
where state funds arc kept. This
statement would be welcome news TO
the people. IL Is almost too much TO
believe that the old system will be
broken up and the state treasury
become an open book 10 the people
OF the state. IL Is stated that In the
examination of the books and ac-
counts of the Title Guarantee q
Trust Company no evidence appeared
that George Steel had receyed
dollar for keeping so large and un-
usual amount OF money In that bank

Spanking does not cure children

STORY BY MOTHER

DEATH
Mrs. Mahan Principal Witness
At Trial Today
sMELLED LIQUOR ON ALFRED
Alleged Murderer Said Child Was
Neither Drowned or Killed BY
the Cars.
sMELLED LIQUOR ON ALFRED

An early adjournment was made
necessary In the Mahan murder trial
yesterday afternoon by the illness OF
Preston Weld Of Woodford, the juror
whose condition caused considerable
anxiety during the early part of the at.
ternoon. Last evening both Mr. Weld
and the other juror, Mark Sutton OF
Searsburg, who required the attention
OF physician yesterday morning, were
reported to be In better health and this
morning the trial was resumed with
out any question being raised as to
their ability to continue with the pro
ceedings.
Alfred Hunt, brother-in-law of Ger
man Mahan and who was Germans
companion ON the fishing trip to Lake
Paran on the day that the child was
murdered. was on the stand the larger
portion of the afternoon under cross
examination by r. r. Healey for the
defence. He was questioned particu.
larly In relation to the territory about
the pond In reply to questions he
testified that the path leading from the
Eastwood tree to the point where the
body of the child was found could be
seen from the railroad track.
When the crOss-examination of Hunt
was resumed this morning he testified
that he saw other persons fishing at
the pond on the day Of the crime,
but that he did not know who they
were. He did recognize Andrew Nash
and a man by the name of Andrew

for which the administration Is re-
sponsible caused the present panic.
Could anything be more absurd? The
object of the rate bill was merely to
bring the railroads under closer super
vision Of q tribunal which could act
upon complaints of individuals suffer-
ing from their injustice. The immedi-
ate effect of its passage was the vol
untary reduction Of rates. Subsequent
ly. under normal conditions justifylng
IL, the rates of the railways generally
we're increased. The continuance OF
the abuses Of the railway management
were made by the rate bill much more
difficult, but the rate bill has not had
the slightest effect upon the legitimate
business earnings Of the railways.
The utter hollowness in the cry that
the rate bill caused the panic is seen
In the fact that those who now ven-
ture to advance this proposition have
been for more than year contending
that the rate bill was all humbug and q
fraud because 1t. had no effect what
ever--because 1t had given promise OF
reduction of rates and no reduction
Of rates followed"
A great cheer came from the assem-
bly, as the secretary rose to open his
speech, and oil the guests stood up
with him and filed the air with long
continued cheers.
Calls from many parts Of the room
for "Three cheers for Secretary Taft
the next president Of the United
StatesI' were met with more tumultu
GUS cheering.

BODY OF OLD man

DRUCE TOMB
Robert CaIdwe|I's Romantic
Tales Exploded
GOVERNMENT OPENED COFFIN
Famous Case Involving Distribution Of
Estates OF the Duke Of Portland at
Last Settled.

LONDON, Dec. 81. = The body of
Thomas Charles bruce, In Highgate
cemetery, was exhumed here just for
ty-three years after Its burial. The
coffin was found to contain the re-
mains Of human body, thus explod-
ing the romantic tales told by Robert
G. Caldwell Of New York and others,
who swore during the recent hearing
Of the. bruce perjury case that it con-
tanned roll of lead.
The official statement given out by
representatives of the home office pres
ent at the exclamation not only def
nitely disposes Of the lead myth, but
seems effectively to confirm that the
body buried in 1854 was actually that
Of T. G. bruce. The authorized state
mont follows:
''The coffin was opened and found
to contain the body Of an aged, beard
ed man. The plate on the coffin bore
the name Thomas Charles Druce."
The scene at Highgate cemetery
when the vault was opened was re-
markable Constables seemed to spring
from everywhere. Every bush and
every tree apparently hid an officer
Of the law. All the entrances to the
cemetery were surrounded by cordons
Of police. Only those persons who
had passes from the home Office were
admitted to the grounds. George Hol-
lamby bruce, who claims he is the
rightful heir to the Portland dukedom
and to its vast estate, tried twice to
get into the cemetery, but was met
with stern refusal.
The operations began at daybreak
with the removal Of the topmost cof-
fins in the vault containing the bodies
Of the wife and son Of I. G. bruce.
1t was nearly half past II before the
CONN, the contents of which have
aroused the curiosity of the whole
world, was brought up ready for open
Ing and inspection. The top was
quickly unscrewed and the inner cas-
ing Of lead cut open. There was no
need for the dictum Of the eminent
surgeon, Augustus j. Pepper, who was
appointed by the home Office to carry
out the elimination, to assure all pres
emit that human remains lay In the cot.
an.
The bruce vault has thus given up
Its secret aften ten years of legal pro.
ceedings, which have cost consider.
able fortune. A large part of this
money was obtained from servant girls
and other workers, who were induced
to buy shares in company formed ia
prosecute the claims Of George Hol
lamby bruce against the estate Of the
Duke of Portland.
The charge Of perjury against Her
bert bruce Is effectively disposed Of.
Those persons who have sworn to
the placing Of lead In the coffin in
stead Of a human body have deposed
to facts which now have been disprov.
ed, and they probably will have to
take the consequences of their acts.
So far as the general public is con
cerned the entire long drawn out
Druce-Duke of Portland controversy IL
at an end and the case of the claimant
George Hollamby bruce, has fallen t.
the ground.
Despite the finding of the bod,
George H. bruce says that he is deter
mined to continue to push his claim
