New Tim, April lO.-C. d. Ray and
wife, the. clairvoyants, who were in
strumental in getting 5000 from Mrs.

city last Saturday afternoon by Sheriff
| William j. julius. 1t seems that the
couple has also been sailing under the
name of G. ID. Carmody and Josephine
Carmody. She also used the name of
Madame Zahara, while operating in
Minneapolis. and it is said that the
woman had been ordered to leave town

several complaints had been made Of
irregular practices.

So from the other Some small
change was also found on Carmody IS
person, but the woman was minus
money, at least the Minneapolis sleuths
didn't find any. She came here, how
ever, with $40. She made the claim
that if all the money had been in
her possession at the time of the ar
rest the police would not have re-
covered the dough" She admits that
her name is Ray, but the man stead
tasty sticks TO his cognomen of Car
imody as first given.
Held in the County JAIL
As soon as they arrived here they
were lodged in the county Jail and
they have been there ever since. They
were arraigned Tuesday morning be-
fore Justice Henningscn and were form
ally charged with grand larceny They
! plead not guilty. The complaint was
made by Mrs. Taylor County At
torney August G. Erickson represented
the state and Attorneys Eckstein &
Funk represented the defendants. The
latter made request that the pre-.
liminary hearing be postponed until
April %, at 4 p. m. and Justice Hen
ningsen granted the request.
Many Ladies Will Testify.
1t has been learned that aside from
the $500 which were supposed to have
been put into the envelope, piece
of bread from which the mother of
Mrs. Talyor had partaken and small
piece of a dress she had worn were
also put into the envelope. In connec-
| ton with this case, it can also be
stated that other ladies of this city
had also consulted the clairvoyant and
they will probably be called as wit
nesses in the case. The trial promis
cs to be mirth provoking and crowd

must naturally border OH the ridicu-

OREGON APPLES
CO TO CHINA
CONSUL MILLER INTRODUCED
THEM IN ORIENTAL MARKETS
Makes Test Shipment Which Proves
Successful-IIas Supplied Market
for Seven Years-Apples Must BE
Packed Carefully--Ben Davis Va
rlety Proves Most Popular.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 2S.-The
National Apple Show bulletin, issued
in connection with the second com
petitive exhibition, open to the world,
In Spokane November IS to 20. when
$4,000 I'm cash prizes and premiums
will be awarded in 20 classes, will
say in its September number that
Oregon sent the first consignment Of
commercial apples to China. The
full text of the article, prepared by
Rem II. Rice. secretary-manager Of
the show, follows:
1T Is not generally known that the
first commercial shipment of apples
to China was made from Grants Pass,
Ore Hon. Henry B. Miller was ap-
pointed consul general to China and
stationed at Neuchwang, during the
early part of the Boxer rebellion.
Consul Miller and his brother,
Frank j. Miller, were both interested
in an apple orchard at Grants Pass,
and as a result of Henry Miller's
travels 1t occurred to them that there
ought to be a market in China for
Oregon apples If they could be prop
erly packed and shipped.
"a test shipment was made and
particular attention was paid to the
manner in which the different varie-
ties stood the test OF travel and cli-
mate. One hundred boxes Of all the
standard varieties, with the day of
picking. packing and shipping noted,
were shipped direct to Shanghai.
'In packing, the precaution was
taken to leave the apples under the
trees until the following day. They
were then taken In upon a large straw
floor and graded by hand Every
box was shipped within two weeks of
picking and no apples picked later
than the last of September
Contrary TO the prevailing opin-
ion among growers, the Ben Davis
stood the test of shipment and eli
matte conditions better than any 9TH
er variety and It was proved conclu-
sively that It should be picked before
maturity to obtain best results
"The Miller brothers continued to
supply apples to China trade for
from seven to eight years after the
first consignment, with profit and
satisfaction.
"The Chinese like a large, highly
.colored and cheap apple and the Ben
Davis met these requirements better
than any other. In the large cities
and in the seaports where there is a
considerable European population
there is a demand for fancy and high
grade apples as we'll"
