WOMAN FORGER
TELLS POLICE
HER REAL NAME
Love for Good Living
Cause of Fall.
Grace Derivage, Young Woman Now
Held by Officers for Forgery,
May Be Pardoned by Those
She Wronged

The mystery surrounding the identity oi
so-called Eunice Hellman, the young
woman arrested in Pasadena on a charge
of forgery Tuesday, was cleared up yes
terday afternoon when she confessed thai
her real name was Grace DeriYage ana
that her home is in Lowell. VT This con
fession came only after a long questloning
by Prosecutor Fleming lasting almost the
entire day. 1t is rumored that other facts
were obtained from the conference, put
the prosecutor would state nothing
further.
There was some suspicion that the
young woman was an old hand IN the
criminal line but nothing which proved
this was unearthed by the detectives. on
the contrary, it seems that Miss Derivage
has no criminal past. When telling her
story she wept and seemed very mucn
ashamed of her acts 1t was brought out
that she had attended "a well known busi-
ness college In this city for six months
and after that was at the Hotel Raymond
in Pasadena for -four. months. She said
that a desire to live beyond the limits Of
her salary was the cause of her downfall
This seems probable, since all of the
money she obtained, except $25. was used
thepe was some man implicated in the
case, but the detectives say they have not
the slightest clew to prove this state
ment.,
May Drop Prosecution
There is a great probability that the
prosecution dropped The sentiment Of all
parties concerned points in that direction
Marco Hellman, the man whose name was
forged, is said to be unwilling to prose
cute Miss Derivage, because he thinks she
has simply made mistake and is not
CONFIRMED crook. -
Prosecutor Fleming said yesterday: Il
will hold the young woman here IN jail
awaiting further developments. II the
persons who are interested in the matter
come to me for a complaint charging her
with forgery will issue It" When asked
who the persons interested in the matter
were he said Mr.. Hellman and people In
Pasadena whose names he did not know.
"Will the young woman be released on
parole?" he was asked.
THAT remains to be SEEN" he answered
There was an air of mystery about the
affair which the closest questioning could
not fathoin., -
Miss Derivage is charged with having
forged the name of Marco Hellman to
checks which she caShed at various places
in Pasadena. The manager of Hotel
Marengo paid her $136 on three of the
fictious checks and the Mather- Baker Dry
Goods company cas- led one for SIS last
Saturday night. l1ellman returned the
checks to Pasadena after refusing pay
ment. and the arrest followed.
The young woman'S motive seems to
have been desire to obtain money with
which to pay her bills. She used the
name of Eunice Hellman and lived in good
style at Hotels Wentworth and Marengo
in Pasadena. She had accumulated debt
of $780, and it was to clear herself of this
that began the forgeries.

ONE MAN DEAD:
ANOTHER INJURED
Lineman i'm Employ of Edison Electric
Company Falls to His Death
After Seeing Companion
Seriously Hurt

One man was killed and another seri-
ously injured about l o'clock yesterday
afternoon as the result Of an accident on
the. 50-foot steel tower Of the Edison
Power company, located near the east side
of Pigeon farm. The man killed is said to
have been H. Blage, but nothing certain
could be determined as to his identity last
night. The man seriously injured was the
foreman of a small gang, and his name is
Seward.
Seward was badly burned in trying to
reInove telephone wire from the tower.
1t appears the telephone w%e had been
short-circuited. Seward was so badly
shocked he let go of the wire and tower
and fell into tree, and then rolled off to
the ground.
Blage was standing on the platform
looking down At the sight OF his falling
comrade he was seized with an attack of
vertigo and fell headlong to the ground.
His skull was crushed as though it had
been hit by piledriver and his body was
otherwise badly bruised. The corpse was
taken to Bresee Bros. undertaking par
lors. Seward was picked up unconscious
by the bystanders and hurried to the
Emergency and General hospital, where it
was reported al a late hour last night that
heAwas still unable to speak.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
July Wheat Goeo to $1.o5 and a Frae-
tlon, Setting New
Record
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 22.--Amid an uproar of
bullish enthusiasm wheat prices on the
board of trade today continued their rec
ord breaking tactics. all deliveries touch
ing new record marks for the session.
July options sold at $103, September at
Sl.041R and December at s1051s. The mar
ket closed nervous with prices showing
only slight changes compared with yes
terday's final quotations, both July and
December deliveries being up Sc while
September was down &c. July corn and
oats each closed at net loss of 1ac
Provisions were down 15c to 1712c to 2713c
The corn market was weak because Of
active selling by cash houses, who were
hedging against large purchases in the
country. There was a good commission
house demand in evidence, but the buy
ing was inadequate to sustain prices.
Weather conditions were quite favor
able in most sections for planting and
for the crop already planted, and advices
from Iowa reported so to 80 per cent of
the total acreage already in the ground.
The market closed weak. July opened a
shade to 1965sc lower at 54Q5412c, sold off
to 535s@53%c and closed at 54@541sc
Oats Vopened strong in sympathy with
wheat but soon weakened on realizing
by leading holders and continued weak
the remainder of the day. July opened
BG% higher at 477s@4S9sc, sold off to 47c
and closed at 47Ac.

NEW NORMAL BOARD.
NORMAL SCHOOL CoUN-
TIES NOT REPRESENTED
Il. e. Bragg, Superintendent OF Union
County, Represents Eastern Oregon
On the Observation-Disclosures OF New
Board are Scattered We'll Over the
State-LOcal Considerations to be
Kept Out OF Normal Affairs.

While Umatilla county is not rep
resented on the new board of normal
regents Just appointed by Governor
Chamberlain, yet eastern Oregon is
well represented in the person OF
County Superintendent e. e. Bragg
OF Union county.
None of the normal school coun-
ties were favored by the goveE-
nor with an appointment, his inten-
ton in this being to keep local con-
siderations out OF the management
of the normal schools in the future.
A Salem correspondent says of the
appointment of the general normal
board:
Governor Chamberlain today nam
ed the members of the new board of
regents who will have control of all
state normal schools after this date
The regents are c. E. Spence of Carus
Clackamas county, to serve one year;
E. Hofer of Salem, two years; f. F.
Bragg of La Grande, three years; w.
B. Aver of Portland, four years;
Henry ]. Maier OF The Dalles, five
years; Stephen Jewell Of Grants Pass
six years.
Not one of these men lives in a
normal school town, or has any con-
nection with a normal school: 1t is
evident that in making the appoint
ments the governor studiously avoid
ed appointing men who might by past
associations, geographical location or
political interests, be prejudiced for
or against any one of the four nor
mails. Not one of the men is inter
ested particularly In either the Uni
versity of oregon. the Agricultural
college. or any other state institution
This fact will leave them more free
to handle the normal school problem
free from other influences.
Spence is a farmer, a democrat and
a member of the executive committed
of the state grange.
Hofer is editor of the Capital Jour
nal and a republican.
Bragg is county superintendent OF
Union county and q democrat.
Aver is a lumber manufacturer and
a republican.
Maier is a merchant and demo
crat.
Jewell is county Judge of Joseph.
inc county and a democrat.
The state board of education, COM
posed of the governor, secretary OF
state and superintendent of public
instruction, are ex-officio members OF
the board of regents.

ADAMS FIRST WIFE.
The Fiendlike Lilith Was a Complete
Matrimonial Failure.

Whether Lilith was one of the fe-
male creations Of chapter 1 or a demon
or something between the two, she
was, considered matrlmonially, a COM
plete failure. She was expelled after
living with Adam for 1870 years and
subsequently became the wife Of Sa-
tan, by whom she was the mother of
lore.
The emphatic remark of Adam when
he first saw Eve, This is now bone of
my bones and flesh of my flesh"
makes. 1t is suggested, comparison
between Eve and the beautiful but
fiendlike Lilith not complimentary to
the latter, while the reference on the
birth OF Seth to him as Adams son
"in his own likeness, after his image
conveys q painful hint OF the uncanny
offspring born to Adam and Lilith.

IF WATER NEVER FROzE.
There Would Be Several Startling

There Would Be Several Startling
Changes In the World.
The whole economy Of nature would
undergo a startling change IL water
never froze. The worlds climates
would be revolutionlzed. The icebound
polar seas would cease to exercise
their chilling influences, and conse-
quently the currents of the ocean
might either cease or be turned aside
In different directions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek
other shores than those of Britain, and
the climate there might be subject to
the extremes of heat and cold notice
able In other countries OF the same
latitude. The icebound rivers Of the
north, notably those of Russia and
Siberia, would be open for navigation,
and Russias activity as sea power
and commercial nation might alter
the whole world of commerce.
Canada would become another coun-
try altogether. An immense tract of
land would be available for cultlvating
hardy plants. and Greenland might be
what its name indicates. The absence
Of icebergs off the coast of Newfound.
land and Iceland would result in Il
much warmer climate in those islands.
where now the crops often fail.
Ice, too, plays an important part in
the economy Of nature. Thus, If water
never froze, snow, hail and hoarfrost
would cease. The loosening of soils
and the disintegration of rocks by the
frost and many other now vital effects
would be lost-ln short, the absence of
ice would be on the one hand an in
calculable disaster, on the other hand
great boon.-London Globe.
