TIE PLUME WRANCLE
Judge Wheeler Heard Case and
 Reserved Decision.

Of all the complicated cases that have been heard in the superior court in some time that of Terrence F. Car mody as administrator on the estate of David N. Plume against Jeanette Hancock of New York beats them all. It was heard by Judge Wheeler to- day.
 David N. Fumes father, the late David S. Plume, his brother, Frank C., his sister, Mrs Emily Plume Ev- ans, wife of John Gary Evans, ex- governor of South Carolina, the Co., lonial Trust Co and the estate of David s. Plume were all involved in the matter. Briefly, however, the situation was thus:
 David N. Plume made Jeanette Hancock his sole legatee and in set tling up his affairs, his father, David S., who was his administrator, got into wrangle with his children about the value of certain stock of the American Ring Co, the children contending that it's appraisal was fal from adequate.
 Another dispute was caused by the extravagant habits of David N. It was said to-day that he spent large sums of money given him by his father and that his father threatened to put in claims against his estate for those sums But the main dis- pute was over the valuation of the stock of the American Ring Co. These alleged disputes, by the way, were denied by the plaintiff.
 Finally Mrs Hancock was paid $6,000 and she gave receipt to Dav-- id S. Plume in settlement of all claims she had or might have against the estate She did not know then that David N. Plume had an interest in two insurance policies on the life. of his father amounting to $1,616.74, a third of the total sum $5,O0O. When she heard of this she filed claim and after some litigation Attorney Car mody was appointed administrator of David N. Fumes estate, his father David s. Plume having died mean, while, a years last February, in fact, leaving David Ms estate unsettled. The third part of the insurance poli- cies referred to was paid to MT Car mody as administrator on the estate of David N. Plume. Then the Colo nial Trust company as executor on the estate of David s. Plume filed claim for the money also. This placed MT Carmody in a quandary and to find out to which party the $1,616.74 shall be paid he brought this suit.
 Decision was reserved.

THE POLICE COURT.
Couple Held in $f,O00 Bonds for
 Disurtlerly Conduct.

7 After two weeks search for his wife. Paul Herenyi of Trenton, N. J., found her this morning in u man ner that brought about her arrest and with her Joseph Fuss also. Herenyi and his wife. whose name is Dorbala and her age 26, have not been living happily for some time. Two weeks ago she fled from Trenton and about the same time Fuss. whose age is glv- en as 25, was found to have gone also. Mrs Herenyi is very dark, having the typical Italian complexion, while Fuss Is tall and as fair as she is the con- trnry.
 Through the baggage offices in the railroad depots Herenyi traced his wife to Waterbury and arriving here informed the police of the cause Of his visit. The detectives were in- formed to be on the look out for the couple and week ago Detective Dodds came upon a pair in the north end whom he knew to be strangers in the locality.
 Suspecting they were the pair he was after. he told the landlady or the house they were living in that the couple were not married. The next he knew the couple had moved and this confirmed him in the supposition that they were Fuss and the missing wife.
 Yesterday the detective found their new abode and early this morning he went to the house and arrested them. They were in court to-day but the case was postponed until tomorrow. They are held under bail of Sl.00 charged with disor,lerly conduct.
 Daniel Corr and Daniel Killoughey were charged with intoxicatiou and common drunkanl. and they were committed to jail for ninety days. They took an appeal under hail of SIJO. but went to jail nevertheless In default of procuring bonds.

A committee representing the An ti-Tuberculosis league appeared be- fore the meeting of the department of charities last night and asked permission to erect tuberculosis ward on the bluff overlooking the Watertown road on the town farm, some considerable distance In the rear of the Brookside home. The Hon John l.. Sake and Dr T. J. Xiii martin acted as spokesmen and they performed the duty assigned to them in a very creditable manner.

 Commissioners Donahue and Jill son. the committee appointed to se- cure a suitable flagpole for the Brookside home, reported that they had looked at the one staff. but it was old and unsightly and they didn't decide to buy it. They thought they ought to have a new one, but they have not yet done anything definite. Clerk Crary was instruct ed to write to the Lombard & Tracy company of Boston for prices on fire escapes. It was voted to ac- cept an invitation from the c. A.. R. to review the parade on Me- morial day and take part in the exercises.

NUN FALLS TO DEATH.
Sister Rose Killed in Brooklyn Con.
 vent of Sisters of Mercy.

New York, May 6.--The body of Sister Rose (Annie Bowers) was found yesterday morning at the bot tom of the elevator shaft of the con vent of the Sisters of Mercy at 273 Willoughby avenue, Brooklyn. D.; Julius Monner of No AS0 Classon avenue. who was called in, said the nun had been dead twelve hours. :.
 Sister Rose came to America early in life, taking the veil at the age of 20. She is survived by a moth and a sister, living in Manhattan.
 It was the duty of Sister Rose to attend the sick childpen on the third floor. She had been down stairs for the last time at 6:30 o'clock Monday evening to assure the mother of d child that the little one was doing as we'll as could be expected. It is presumed the nun, after returning to the third floor, had occasion to de- scend again and in the darkness failed to notice that the elevator was at the floor above.

New York, July 1S.-Yuma, Arizo-
ma. will kindly go away back and sit
down Let us hear no more of its
lamented citizens who died and went
elsewhere and sent back for his over
coat.
The much malinged metropolis of
southwestern Arizona is no longer
entitled to the palmleaf fan as the
hottest spot this side of Tophet The
hot wave which swept over New York
the first of this month, ceasing tenn
porarily to gain fresh breath for an
other sirrocco entities the American
metropolis to pre-emlnence as the
hottest town on the map. Abas, Yu-
ma.
Records OF the weather sharps may
not serve to prove this contention.
Heat, however, IS not a thing to be
registered by figures on a dial. HUI
midity and congestion add terrors to
New York summer that even Yuma
knows not Of
The narrow streets, lined with their
sky piercing buildings, become swell
tering canyons through which the
choking air-waves swirl sluggishly
on their mission of death. Under the
suns rays the asphalt pavements come
to resemble rivers of New Orleans
sorghum, boiling and sizzling in a
mighty vat.
Worse even than the downtown
streets is the East Side, its squalid
tenements filled with huddled, hope
less millions. breathing despair and
death with every gasp of feted, filthy
atmosphere. Here Dante might set
the scene of another inferno more ter
rible far than any that existed in the
realms of his exuberant imagination.
Here the evangelist, preaching of fire
and birthstone, might we'll stand silent
and aghast and cease his feeble, futile
prophesies.
Tragedy and pathos become COM
monplace on summer day in the
East Side. Mothers fall to their knees
on the bllstering pavements and lif
their hands to a sky of brass, praying
for a cooling zephyr that does moi
come.

as these.
New York on a winter night with

resources by the public has been
steady and rapid ever since the poll
icy of wide use supplanted the policy
of restricted use, at the time when
the management of the national for
ests was placed under the forest SER
vice.
One of the big problems of admin
istration has been to get into close
touch with the users of the national
forests, and this has already been par
TALLY solved by various expedients,
such as delegating to local national
forest business. In this way the pub
tic and the service have been con-
stantly brought closer together.
A second step in the same direc-
ton was the recent transfer Of head
quarters for supplies from Washing
ton, D. c., to ogden, Utah. A third
step was the placing Of a branch of
the office of engineering, which has
charge of permanent improvements
on the forests, also at Ogden, which
is centrally located. The contem-
plated change is, therefore, merely
the completion Of a plan which has
already been partially worked out.
Probably one-third Of the clerical
force now in Washington, mainly Ste
nographers and typewriters, will go
west to complete the organization re-
quired in each field district. It is ex-
pected that a sufficient number Of
clerks in the Washington office will
desire assignments to the field head
quarters, so that 1t will not be neces-
sary to send to the field those who
do not wish to go, and no new ap-
pointments will be necessary In
making selections for the new posts
the individual preferences Of the
clerks will be consulted so far as the
work permits
The change will not affect the form
of organization Of the forest service
in Washington. The offices will be
retained as at present, but with a
smaller force. All Of the investigat-
ing work done by the service, except
that directly connected with the ad-
ministration' of the national forests
will continue TO be directed from
Washington.

JUDGE JOHN f. CAPLES DEAD.
Pioneer Lawyer and Prominent Re-
publican i'm Portland.

John Fletcher Caples died Friday
morning at o'clock at his home in
Selwood, surrounded by members Of
his family, says the Oregon Daily
Journal.
Judge Caples. as he had been fa-
miliarly known for many years, was
born in Ashland county, Ohio, jan
uary ~, 1892. He was educated in
Risdon, now Fostoria, Ohio, and at
the Ohio Wesleyan university at Del
aware. His early legal training was
with the firm of Stanton & Allison of
Bellefontaine, and he was admitted
to the bar in 1853. He was a dele
vention in 1856 and attended the
Chicago convention which nominated
Abraham Lincoln for the presidency.
He made an active canvass for his
election and remarked a few days ago
that the coming presidential election
would be the first in which he had
not actively participated in all the in
tervening years.
In 1866 he brought his family to
the coast via the Isthmus and San
Francisco to Vancouver, Wash, where
he served as city attorney. removing
to Portland the next year.
In 1872 he was elected to the state
legislature from Multnomah county
and served as chairman of the judi
ciary committee.
Judge Caples was elected district
attorney in 1878, responsibility
which he maintained for six success
sive years, his territory comprising
Mutnomah, Washington, Clackamas,
Columbia and Clatsop counties.
He served as presidential elector
for oregon in 1892 and was the mes
senger selected to carry the states
vote to the national capitals
In 1896 Judge Caples served In
similar capacity for President Mckin-
ley, by whom he was appointed In
1897 as the governments diplomatic
representative at Valparaiso, Chile,
a peculiarly delicate responsibility,
owing to the complications resulting
from the Spanish war, the solution
OF which brought into play the un-
usual diplomacy and tact which were
characteristic of his entire career.

Administration Of the Forest Service
Being Brought Nearer to the Peo
ple-Experienced Men to Have
Charge OF the Several Forest Dis
tricts Of the West.

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-In or
der to expedite and render more ef-
fective and economical the work OF
administering the NATIONAL forests,
field headquarters are to be estab-
lished by the forest service in the
west, and the clerical force needed to
complete the organization will be
mainly drawn from the force now en-
ployed in the Washington office.
The change will take place not later
than January l, 1909, and will prob
ably begin by October l Of the pres
ent year.
At present the national forests are
grouped under six districts with
headquarters as follows: District 1,
Missoula, Montana; District 2, Dem
yer, Colorado; District 3. Albuquer-
que. New Mexico; District 4. Sal,
Lake City, Utah; District s, San Fran
cisco, and District 6, Portland, Ore
gon.
These headquarters VIII remain
unchanged under the new plan OF
administration. Each district will be
in charge OF an assistant forester who
will deal directly with the supervisor
OF the forests Of his district.
Only questions Of special import.
ance will be submitted to the Wash,
ington office for action. In this way
the regular business Of the forests
will be much expedited, while tn,
men who have charge Of the business
will be in almost constant touch with
the users Of the forests.
The men to take charge Of the sew
eral districts have not as yet beer
selected. but they will be chosen from
those in the regular service force who
have had most experience in the
work on the national forests.

TRIES TO BLOCK NEW ROAD.
y. p. Serves Notice on Nez Perce
Trolley Builder.

Lewiston, Idaho, July 1S.-AI-
though General Manager Mutt of the
Northern Pacific railroad. agreed to
make traffic arrangements with the
Nez Perce & Idaho Electric compa-
n.y. a small line now under construc-
ton from Nez Perce to Vollmer, the
fact that James T.. Babb served no.
tiee on Y. A. Johnson, the builder of
the road, and on the contractors that
they must not trespass on any of the
Northern Pacifics alleged right of
way is taken as an indication that
the Hill railroad will attempt to block
the Independent feeder.
Mr.. Johnson declares Northern Pa
cific officials told him to go ahead
with the construction, that they would
be glad to have the line built, and
that they would not attempt to harass
him in any way but, on the contrary,
they offered him exceptional traffic
concessions.
Mr.. Babb, as attorney for the
Northern Pacific, has warned the
builders of the proposed line that
they have a right of way from Voll-
mer to Nez Perce which must not in
any way be infringed on. 1t is true
that several years ago the Northern
Pacific surveyed a line which is al
most identical with the Johnson line
but no right of way passed into the
hands of the railroad company and
the survey had been forgotten. No
attention will be paid to the notice
as the landowners who have donated
or sold to Mr.. Johnson will fortify
him with proof that the Hill road has
no rights which are sufficient to block
construction work.
