PORTLAND, May 2o.-Burglars
with an eye for the beautiful broke
into the Museum OF Art building, at
Fifth and Taylor streets last night and
carried away over is pieces Of jeweIry
on display in the first annual exhibi-
ton OF the Arts and Crafts Society Of
Portland, Of the estimated value Of
$1,000
The thieves displayed much discern
ment and caution in the selection Of
their plunder, being careful to take
only things of marketable value and
easy OF dispositions. Fortunately none
OF the exhibits loaned for the exhibit
ton was taken, and the value of the
loot secured is fully covered by
burglar insurance.
The crime was discovered upon the
opening of the museum this morning,
and the police were at once notified.
Detectives Pat Maloney and Hellyer
have been detailed on the case by
Acting Captain of Detectives Baty,
but as yet have not been able to dis
cover a single clew that would lead
to the apprehension Of the robbers.
The exhibition of the Arts and
Crafts Society has been under way for
the past two weeks, and has attracted
large attendance. Jewelry and sill
verware of great value have been on
display in the rooms on the second
floor of the museum building, and in
addition to placing burglar and FIRE
insurance on the entire exhibit every
precaution had been taken to securely
fasten the cases with locks and bolt
all windows at the closing hour.
As quickly as possible the authori-
ties wer apprised of the crime and
detectives dispatched to the scene.
The officers, upon examining the
premises, discovered an open window
in the basement, but whether the
burglars entered the building in this
manner or were in hiding in one Of
the upper rooms at the closing hour
has not yet been established.
The case from which the most
valuable jewelry was stolen occupies
a place on table in the north room
of the exhibit, and was forced open
with tools secured in the museum
basement. The criminals were par
ticularly careful in their work, and did
not even mar the woodwork or break
the glass in opening the case. The
same care was displayed in forcing
the sliding door on the silverware
case.
BY strang coincidence the major.
ity of the articles stolen are the clev-
er handiwork of Miss Watson, who
conducted the arts and crafts summer
school here last year. That the thieves
were not connoisseurs is evidenced by
the fact that the most valuable topaz
pendant in the case was tossed aside
and Others of less value taken.
The property annexed by the crooks
consisting in the main of pendants
ranging in price from $50 to $50
apiece, and are the most beautiful
specimens of arts and crafts work
ever displayed in this city.
Mrs, Hume prepared an inventory
of all the missing articles and this list
was turned over to the police to assist
them in locating the plumber and
thives Additional precautions will
be taken during the remaining days
of the exhibition to prevent further
depredations and nocturnal prowlers
about the museum Of art building will
meet with awarm reception.

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT.
ToiIers Scent Danger In the =alIacie
of Mr.. Bryan.

SSCbt DoIiSCi LIE GltdStS'
of Mr.. Bryan.
Convincing evidence was furnished
by the conference at Cincinnati las
week by Judge Taft with Osca
Straus, secretary of commerce and la
Dor. and T. V. Powderly. formerly
general master workman Of the
knights Of Labor, that the attitude 0,
labor is growing each day more friend
ly to Taft. The campaign Of education
which the Republicans have been car
rying on has been effective, and thu
laboring man, so Mr. Powderly tolC
the candidate, is beginning to appre
ciate the fact that restoration o.
business confidence through the cleo
ton of Mr.. Taft means more work and
prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces his in
tention to go out on the stump for the
specific purpose Of exposing some OF
the Bryan falacies in regard to labor
Said Mr. Straus: The most dangerous
of these fallacies is presented il
Bryan's slogan. Shall the people rule?
and well may he ask it. for every one
of his leading doctrines is denial OF
that rule"
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov
eminent guarantee of bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan fol
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Straus believes this guarantee
proposition is as great menace as the
al 70 hnhhy f"Fn guarantee de.
posits,' said Secretary Straus, ''is tc
guarantee the loans OF the banks. for,
as a matter of fact, large part OF the
banks deposits is made up of credits
extended by the bank to borrowers and
by them deposited or placed on the
books of the banks as deposits"
Mr.. Powdcrly said among other
things after his talk with Taft: La
Dor never was better organized, better
paid, more independent or more re-
spected than it is today. Never was 1t
more secure in its share Of the outcome
of the commodity or the good will and
confidence of employers. All this Is
due to the effort of nonpartisan, well
differed unions What labor orga niza-
lions now enjoy. and they enjoy more
than they ever enjoyed in the civilized
world before. came as the result of
Intelligent cooperative effort eXerted
In nonpartis'an way through heir
unions
"Of course there are many men out
of employment as the result of the
recent depression, but to my knowl-
edge men are returning to their old oc
equations all over the country and at
their old rates of pay | recall the
awful panic Of 1878 and that Of 1898,
and in neither case did men go back to
work at their old wages The case is
different now and to my mind it would
be suicidal for labor to vote in such a
way as to imperil the return of full
prosperity, so rapidly manifesting
itself"

NEGRO AND DEMOCRACY.
Would Be Suicidal For Colored Men to
Vote For Bryan.

VOC Tor bryan.
One OF the greatest negroes this
country has known, leader OF his
race and the honored contidant CT
President Grant and Secretary Fish,
recently said: 1T would be suicidal
for colored men to vote for Bryan.
They have nothing to hope for from
the Democratic party, which has dis
franchised them in the south and
which processes to regard them as
unfit for the ballot anywhere. The
only chance for the negro is with the
Republican party. and it will be a sad
day for the negro when a Republican
president will be elected without the
Votes of negroes having helped to
place him i'll power"
Ii view Of the fact that Bryan HIM
self has approved negro GisiranchiSe-
meut in the south there can be no
t.oubt of his attitude should he be
elected to the presidency. While the
southern Democrats would regard
northern negro votes for their canli-
dates rs an Endorsement by the negro
race of southern treatment of the ne
go.
1t is impossible to believe that any
nero who has studied intelligently the
history of his race will go into the
voting booth and cast a ballot in favor
