GOODS TAKEN BY
SALESMAN FOUND
DETECTIVE LOCATES CACHE
IN PASADENA
MccARRY HAD ADOPTED MOST
CAUTIOUS TACTICS
confesses That PecuIations Started
with His Employment and Lasted
Until Enough to Start store
Was Obtained

Detective Joe Ritch, after putting IN
hard day yesterday, succeeded in To-
eating the rest of the property alleged
to have been stolen from Z. Lazarus
& Co. by their former travelling sales
man, 7. f. McGarry. More than $2OOO
worth of goods were recovered.
McGarry was arrested Wednesday
by the detectives on suspicion OF nav
ing stolen a lot of property which was
in a stationery store that he was run
ming on East Fifth street.
When d representative of the Laza-
rus company called at the police sta
ton, to which place some $500 worth
of the stock had been transported from
the McGarry store, the stuff was rec
ogniZed as identical with that carried
in stock by the wholesale house.
A rapid inventory was then taken in
the big store and, as near as could be
estimated, more than $4,000 worth OF
goods was missing. McIarry oecllned
to inform the police what he had done
with the goods, although he admitted
having taken them.
Yesterday Detective Ritch ascer-
tanned that McGarry was the owner OF
a house on Villa street. Pasadena, near
Altadena He went there with search
warrant and in the upper rooms OF
the house found twenty seven cases OF
A representative of the wholesale
house accompanied the detective, and
three trucks were called to haul the
stuff away. When the cases were
opened they were found to contain
every description of goods carried IN
wholesale house, from pen points to
sheep bound ledgers and account
books. OF pen points alone there were
$50 worth. at wholesale prices. There
and fine no.
tions to the value of $1,000, and there
was nearly $1,000 worth of other goods
When McGarry was informed of the
find he broke down and confessed thai
from the first day of his employment
with the house as travelling sales
man he had been taking stuff IN small
quantities, and that finally, when ne
had accumulated what he though'
would be good stock for a retal
store. he stopped his peculations.
McGarry had been running his retail
store for about ten months up TO the
time of his arrest, and he stated that
in order to avoid suspicion, he never
had in his place more than $3.50 worth
of stock at one time. Whenever his
stock ran down in any line he simply
took an express wagon. went to the
Pasadena house and brought back
supply.
1t is not known whether felony
charge can be made against McGarry
as his peculations at any one time
were small.
McGarry lived in this city with his
wife and three children, at 621 Kohle1
street Mrs. McGarry was inexpressi-
bly, grieved when she learned of hel
husbands arrest, as she never haC
any knowledge of the manner in which
he had obtained the goods in the little
store at 906 East Fifth street

with black band. She seemed to be
suffering great nervous strain, but
maintained a calm bearing and lis
tened attentively to the proceedings.
Only once did she speak, and that
was when she was asked if it was
satisfactory to her to have her case
continued until October 6. She arose,
walked slowly to the bar and answered
in the affirmative.
Mrs. Finn has been in Jail since the

San Francisco, July 25.-For the
first time on the Pacific coast, the
Southern Pacific has taken the Of
fensive against the interstate COM
merce commission. A suit has been
filed in the United States circuit
court against the commission to re-
strain the enforcement of the new
lumber rate between Willamette river
points and San Francisco bay points.
The Southern Pacific attorneys to-
day declared the United States su-
preme court will knock out the Her
burn act as unconstitutional.
The action, which is an equity suit,
was filed late yesterday and alleges
that all laws under which the COM
mission operates is unconstitutional
because they confer on the commission

thority.
The complaint declares that the
rate of $40 a ton to apply to trans
portation Of rough green fir timber
and lath from points nthe east bank
of the Willamette river and points
on the west bank south OF Corvallis
to San Francisco bay points and
rate OF 1896 per ton from points on
the east bank of the Willamette to
bay points is too low. It wants the
injunction made permanent.

HIS AIRSHIP INVISIBLE.
Demented Man Was Making Ladder
Out of Shirt and String.


Discovered while trying to get
aboard an invisible airship near camp
8, in the Tieton, Monday, David Bailey
was arrested and brought to the city
on Thursday and is being held in the
county Jail so that his condition may
be decided upon, says the Yakima Re-
public. He was examined by the in
sanity commission, Court Commission
er Ward presiding, this afternoon and
was remanded for further examina-
ton later on. Bailey has been work.
ing for the government for about one
year and has earned the reputation Of
an excellent workman. Onee in a
while, however, he goes on a spree and
the last one was bad. Since he quit
the city Friday last Bailey has been
holding converse with an unknown
gentleman in AN airship. He says he
has not seen the airship or the man
who is riding in it but he can hear
the man talking. Recently the man
advised him to kill two people, but he
says that he does not think he is like
ly to obey the behest.
When Bailey was arrested he was
arranging some string and shirt so
as to make a ladder to the airship,
one end Of the string was tied to his
foot and the shirt was fastened to the
other end Of the string, Bailey says
that the cause of the trouble is drink
and that when he starts drinking he
gets away with a very large quantity
of liquor. The doctors are doubtful
concerning Bailey's condition but
think 1t probable that with little at
tentlon he will recover his mental fac
ulties
