A Reticent Hughes Man.
State Senator Alfred R. Page. one of
the Hughes managers in New York. had
brief interview with the President.
He looked wise said nothing and left
the. inference that he had discussed
New York politics of sort too redhot
to let out into the cool air. 1t came out
later. though, that he had simply called
to tell the President about a few things
and that he had no appointment for
conference.
Z He would not admi: or deny that he
had talked about the names Of the four
men who will be delegate s-at-large from
New York to the republican national con-
yention. Gov. Hughes has declared that
he Will not attemot to name these men.
leaving that to the convention. Mr.. Page
said he did not know whether the gov
ernor had any preferences. It is asserted
that the Hughes people are willing TO
pfacate the Roosevelt Parsons Woodruff
men by putting on at least two of the
delegation they may select. This il it
turns out to be true, will not be received
pleasantly by the Oddities, who are look
Ing to rewarding some of their own fac
ton. If the Roosevelt and Hughes people
act together on delegates 1t will mean
cold draugfft for the Odell people.
see-saw Over Alaska Appointments.
A. game Of see-saw over federal ap

Both the governor and the delegate have

and just at this moment the delegate is
claiming the advantage. He saw the
president last. Some time ago Mr.. Gale
recommended Jesse d. Jefferson for an
pofntment as postmaster at Valdez and
augustus e. Kendell for the postmaster
snip at Skagway. Gov. Hoggatt went to
the white House and complained that the
appointments were not fit. and the Presi-
dent promptly withdrew the names. Then

CRIMINALS ARE AT WORK
Series of RObberies Are Committed In
Differant Parts of Polk
County.

Polk county has, during the past
month, been the scene Of several
small crimes such as hurglaries and
holdups, and during the past two
weeks especially, has the occurance
Of these crimes been exceptionally fire.
quent They occur at separate times
and at different places, indicating that
a single person or party of persons is
systematically working the county in
one locality after another.
Reports of petty robberies in the
vicinityofEola first appeared, followed
shortly by news of a hold-up near
Lincoln and on Tuesday night the
postoffice at Monmouth was entered
by burglars. Yesterdays Oregonian
contained the following report of the
crime:
"The postoffice at Monmouth was
robbed Tuesday night and while Post
master o. A.. Wolverton declines to
make any statement of the loss pend
ing the arrival Of the Government
Inspector, it is thought the money loss
is small, as no more funds were kept
on hand than is necessary. The office
is located in the two-story building at
the corner Of Main and Railroad
streets and entrance was made by pry-
ing up the window on the west. The
safe, which was only a small fire
proof affair, was blown open. The
work shows it was done by skilled
burglars using some powerful ex-
plosive, presumably nitroglycerine.
Stamps, which could have been stolen,
were left in the drawer"
The latest news in the list of reports
of crime came from Perrydale yester-
day morning, the store of Hon. d. L.
keyt having been broken into and
merchandise carried
away. The exact amount of the loss
has not yet been ascertained and no
clue as to the character or the where
abouts of the criminals has vet been
Officers are at work on the case and |
it is thought that their efforts will
soon result in the capture of the guilty
parties and put a stop to the series of
crimes that have lately plagued the
citizens Of Polk county.
