MOTHER WAITS
FOR HER son
ALBERT JENSEN'S DISAPPEAR
ANCE DEEPLY ENSHROUDED
IN MYSTERY.
Where is Albert Jensen?

This is the question, which is now
being asked by every policeman in the
Walla Walla squad, as well as the aged
mother of the missing man who is pa
tiently awaiting the return of her son
to II North Fifth street.-the humble
home of the Jensen family.
Albert may return-that is true; but
his present whereabouts have never
theless caused considerable sensation.
Judge" as he was Familiarity called by
his friends, left the Jenser. home, Sat
urday evening, October 26 Before leav

which to purchase meat for the even

did not have time to purchase the meat
himself. He left the house early in the

have been unable to locate him.
While Jensens sudden disappearance
may not prove alarming, still the cir
cumstances connected with the Jensen
family's financial condition, it would
seem, is such as to make the situa-
ton doubly puzzling. Following the
death of Hans Jensen, father of Albert,
friends of the jensen family said that
the widow and daughter must rely on
the earnings of Albert for living and
Albert continued to place the greater
part of his earnings in the hands of
his mother For several years he has
been in the employ of the Walla Wal
la fire department. His services have
been all that could be desired, and he
was well liked by the members of the
department Four days prior to his sud-
den disappearance he resigned his
position giving as a reason that he
was unable to look after his mother
and sister while in the employment of
the fire department..
Several of young Jensen's friends
are confident that he will return to his
mother Il do not believe that he would
leave his mother under the present
circumstances" said an acquaint ance
of Jensen today. Several years ago he
disappeared in practically the same
manner and for three long years his
parents and friends believed him dead.
and it was not known until he returned
to Walla Walla that he had spent three
years in the Philippine service

MEANS FOR MOVING CROPS
AND TRANSACTlNG EVERY
KIND OF BUSINESS.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 5.-At
meeting of the Clearing House assoc1-
alton here Sunday evening at which
every bank in tie city was represented,
it was decided to follow other cities
of the Northwest in adopting the use
of clearing house certificates and
ceasing cash payments except in small
for emergency purposes.
1t was stated that this action was
taken not because of any weakness
among the banks of the city. but in
order to protect the cash reserves from
being withdrawn to other sections al
ready using clearing-hou certificates.
Sunday meting was held between
bankers from Portland,
Spokane and Tacoma, and a commit
tee of Seattle bankers, at which the
financial situation in the northwest
was discussed. Those present stated
that no definite plans We're adopted,
and that the meeting was simply con-
sultative in character, Seattle being
chosen as he point of meeting because
of the central location.

FoReAh MAKES SUGGESTION.
Chicago Banker Outlines Plan for Con
eress to Act On.

CHICAGO. Nov. 5-''Let the banking
and currency committee of the house
of representatives and the correspond
ing committee of the United States
gather at once listen to the ad-
vice of bankers and laymen from all
parts of the country and draft a bill
that will provide the nation with an
elastic currency" said James B. For
gan. president of the First National
bank yesterday.
Mr.. Forgan said he did not think
much of the plan to call an extraordi-
nary session of congress, as that body
is to meet in regular session four weeks
from today.
'It strikes me that if those two COM
init ;ees get together in Washington at
once and consider ways and means Of
relieving the money stringency," con-
tinued Mr.. Forgan. ''it will be just as
good as having congress meet in Spe-
cial session. A special session would
hardly get under way before the date
for the regular session would be
reached. If the. two banking commit
tees meet III joint session, listen to ad-
vice and suggestions and prepare a
sane and sensible measure for congress
appear that big step in the right di-
rection had been taken"
Mr. Forgan said that the week in
finance now opening bids fair to be a
quiet and satisfactory one.

GOOD HEARTED.
Judge Say Woman is Better
TIL, Arguments.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-"Chicken- heart
ed" jurymen. local technicalities and
the tendency of "unpatriotic, selfish
men" TO evade jury service, were said
by Judge Marcus Kavanaugh to have
honeycombed with injustice the legal
system of this country. He made the
assertion in an address before the
West Side Mems club in the African
Methodist Episcopal church.
"A crying Woman around a court
house is worth two arguments by law
yers in the sympathies of a jury" he
claimed. The trouble with jurymen
who try men in the criminal courts is
that they gre too good hearted The
law is the most sacred thing in this
world outside of religion.
Legal technicalities which were de-
signed for the protection of the de-
PENDANTS have been construed into OBJ

custom IF giving a jury neither meat,
drink nor candle" until it shall have
arrived at a verdict.

BOYCOTT CAMPAIGN

HELENA. Mont, Nov. 5.-As a re-
suit of the boycott campaign, which
has been waged for several months by
the Montana Federation of Labor
against business houses and individ-
uals patronizing the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company, four of the
stronges, labor urions of Helena have
withdrawn from the state organization.
Helena Typogra phical union. No. 50,
decided to divorce itself from the or
ganization.
Howard 0. Smith, secretary of the
federation, is a member of the typo
graphical union and the action of the
printers takes away his membership
in the state body. Smith and Alexander
Fairgreave, president of the federation.
were recently enjoined by the federal
court from continuing their alleged
boycott tactics, and since then the
cooks and walters, the bartenders and
the teamsters have withdrawn from
the organization, which now on account
of the disfavor with which its boycott
has been received is
threatened with disruption.

Nearly three thousand nomeseekers
bound for every part of the Pacific
northwest, arrived il. Spokane last
Sunday by the Great Northern & In

Navigation roads. They are travelling
on tickets sold east under the cOlOniSt

the army is made up of those who
waited until the last day of grace to

Twelve hundred souls, railway officials
estimate, were inside the coaches
When the colonists alighted at Spokane
the big station was unable to hold the
swarm.
Travelling men from ST Paul who
witnessed the embarking at that point
on October 81, say several hundred

inside the gate, and train officials were
compelled to carry children from the

Paper Money in Portland

PORTLAND, Nov. 5.-In order to
supply the temporary need of cur
rency and furnish means for marke ing
the crops of the state, the Portland
Clearing House association has au-
thOriZed the issuance of bank checks
in denominations of IS, $40 and $40 for
general circulation. These checks or
Clearing House certificates. will be
based upon deposits of notes, bill of
exchange and other negotiable instru-
ments that are secured by wheat, grain.
canned fish. lumber actually sold. and
other marketable products or paper ap-
proved by the committee that has been
appointed by The association and by
which the certificates will be issued
These certificates or emergency
bank notes Will be issued through the
Portland Clearing House association to
the extent of two-thirds only of the
value of the securities. The certificates
will be redeemable in cash February
i. 1908. and will be used in all transac-
tions the same as currency. They will
be received by the banks in payment of
all obligations ard will circulate the
same as gold silver or paper money.
Northwest Cities Agree.
This plan for providing temporary
circulating medium was adopted az a
conference of the representative bark
ers of the cities of Portland, Tacoma,
Spokane and Seattle, held in the last
named city Sunday. A supply of this
emergency currency is now on the
press and the first nstallment in cir
culation
Through the plan that has been
adopted by the local Clearing House
Association the necessary medium of
exchange is assured for marketing the
enormous crops of the state Aside
from lumber wheat is the states prin-
cipal product, and with the price for
this cereal ranging from SS TO 80 cents
in Portland, the old saying good as
wheat is especially applicable to the
local situation. since this crop will be
the principal security that will be of
fered and on which the certificates
will be issued and circulated
Will Move All Crops.
This crop Will not only furnish the
main guarantee for the issuance of a
temporary circulating medium, but it
will at the same time afford the very
means for transporting it and the other
crops to the markets of the world, re-
gardless of the condition of the money

NEEDED IN UNITED STATES
HEAD OF WAR DEPARTMENT IS
LISTENING TO DEMANDS OF
POLITICAL FRIENDS-MIGHT
EMBARASS RUSSIA.

MANILA, Nov. 5.--Secretary Taft
is considering an immediate return to
the United States and the abandon
ment of his tour. The financial crisis
in the United States, urgent demands
on the part of his political followers.
and the mutiny of the sailors at
Vladivostock is understood to be the
cause of his determination to return.
Secretary Tafts return is looked for
in official circles although no deci-
sion has been reached by him as far
as is known. The recent mutiny at
Vladivostock and the uncertain con-
ditiOns of affairs there make the
visit of the secretary embarrassing to
the Russians and if an outbreak oc-
cured while he was in the city it would
be unpleasant for the large secretary
of war.
