H|GAWAYMEN ABROAD
IN PULLMAN
Z. Ii. Ageton Residence on Grand
Street Entered Tuesday Night
Heavy Loss

For the second time in less than
two years the home of p. B. Ageton,
on Grand street, the first house north
of the opera house, was robbed when
burglars entered the house last
Tuesday night and stole SIG in cash
and a suit of clothes, under clothes,
silk shirt. hat, shoes, socks and other
plunder and escaped without leaving
any clue.
Norman Ageton (better known as
"Prof."D was the heaviest loser. He
had 500 belonging to the barber
sAop of Dew & -..ton, and $40 be-
longing to Ned Cheely, which had
been entrusted to his care. This
was all taken, and the burglars got
Sc belonging to Ted Ageton, agent
for the Spokane Chronicle. Norman
was sleeping upstairs in room with
two beds and was not awakened by
the burglar, who ransacked his room,
took S110 in cash, Mr. Agetons silk
shirt, socks and shoes and his un-
Ter clothing, and put them in a pill
low case taken from the other bed
in the room.
P. B. Ageton was sleeping in a
front room on the ground floor. The
burglar entered his room, took his
trousers from the bed post and took
his entire wealth-a nickel-and
also got grey suit of clothes which
had just been cleaned. Mr., Ageton
slept soundly during the time.
In cup in the cupboard in the
kitchen was Sc belonging to Ted.
Ageton who is agent for the Chron-
ickle. The burglar got that and also
helped himself to some groceries, in
Guiding a roll of butter. The theft
then washed his hands, which must
lave been very dirty. judging by the
condition of the towel ON which he
dried them, and going outside, threw
away the pillow case and an old pair
of shoes he had taken.
1t is believed the theft went to the
lumber yard where he disrobed and
putting on the stolen clothing, left
his old clothes hidden under some
boards where they were found the
next morning. That the work was
done by some one acquainted with
the conditions and with the house
is believed. Ae year ago last Nov
ember ,.4s house was robbed when
p. B. Agton lost a large sum of
money and Norman Ageton lost a
new suit of clothes and lot of other
property. No arrest has ever been
made for the former robbery and no
clue was ever obtained. Deputy
Sheriff Cole is at work on the rob-
berry of Tuesday night but up to date
no clue has been discovered or an
nounced.

MAY OPTIONS ARE
TURNED INTO CASH
Brokers Hazard Guess That Sales May
Net Big Profit for Patten and
His Associates in Bull
Campaign

CHICAGO, May This was deliv-
cry day on the board of trade, and the
May option, the medium of the recent
bull campaign led by James A. Patten,
became cash wheat.
On May contracts 100000 bushels of
wheat were delivered, practically all Of
it to Bartlett, Patten & Co.
Brokers have hazarded a guess that
Mr.. Patten paid an average of $10S for
his May wheat. Assuming this figure
to be approximately correct, Mr. Pat
ten might have sold the wheat deliv
cred him this morning at SLIP IA, de-
livery In July, which would show a
profit of 4 cents a bushel. May wheat,
however, opened today at $1.241a@
LA 3-4, and a good demand for actual
wheat would enable the bull leader to
sell at much gAeater profit.
While May l Isl commonly known as
delivery day, sellers have until the end
of the month to turn over the wheat
which they have sold. Formerly only
No. red winter wheat could be deliV-
cred on future contracts, but under
new rule of the board made two years
ago No. 2 spring wheat was made
standard. A large quantity of this lat
ter, it is expected, will find its way
down from the head of the lakes when
navigation opens, thus settling the
amount in the Patten elevators. No. 2
red wheat is selling at $1.41 SAG
$1.44 ga, and No. spring at $1.26.

VALIDITY OF PURE
FOOD ACT IS UPHELD
Makers of MapleIine Attack constitu-
tionaIity of Law and Try to
Justify Name of the
Product

CHICAGO, May Federal Judge
Sanborn, in test case questioning the
constitutionality of the government
pure food and drug act, today upheld
the validity of the law.
The case was that of the government
against the Crescent Manufacturing
company of Seattle, makers of Maple
line"
The government alleged that the use
of this name constituted misbranding,
inasmuch as it contained no maple
juices. The defense, aside from at
lacking the constitutionality of the law,
claimed the name was justified by the
flavor of the product.
The government seeks to conhseate
$4,000 worth of "Mapleline' con-
signed to Louis Hilfer & co. of Chicago.
Other consignments in various parts
of the country are also said to be IN
jeopardy of seizure. The case will be
appealed to the higher courts to test
the constitutionality of the act.
CINCINNATI, May 1.-The Corn
Products company of Chicago attacks
the constitutionality of the pure food
law in an answer filed today in the
United States district court to the al
legations of United States Attorney
Mcpherson. who a few days ago caused
the United States marshal to seize
forty-six packages and bags of sugar
manufactured by the Corn Products
company. The government alleges that
the sugar is labeled pure sugar,
whereas it was adulterated
The Corn Products company admits
the label. but denies the sugar was
adulterated.
The company attacks the constitu-
tionality of section 10 of the pure food
and drugs act ON the ground that the
section provides unduly oppressive
and deprives citizens of their
by harsh and unconstitutional
means

Chinese indemnity fund in the recent
Boxer uprising, was paid to Mrs.
Georgiaua Ward Amidon, widow OF
Henry C. Ward, who was son of the
general.

FLUSHING, N. Y, May 1.-Testlty-
ing in the Hams murder trial today
Major John Powell Hams, u. S. A.,
brother of the defendant, attempted
by his testimony for the defense to
show that Peter c. Hams, jr., was in
sane when he killed William E. Annis
at the Bayside Yacht club last August.
There were suppressed sobs in his
voice as he told of his meetings and
talks with Captain Hams after the
captains return from the Philippine
islands last May to clear up rumors
concerning his wife and Annis.
The cross examination of Thornton
j. Hams was concluded.
Major John Powell Hams was next
called by the defense.
Referring to the talk the major had
with the defendant after his return
from the Philippines the witness said
he asked his brother to tell him every
thing, and the captain replied: when
l reached San Francisco from Manila
[ found a big bundle of letters, and
after reading them was convinced
there was something wrong and hur-
ried east as fast as l could. The
captain bowed his head in his hands
and said:

This man Annis is making me crazy"
Finally he went to the fort and met
Claudia, his wife. She expressed sur
prise at seeing him and asked him
what had brought him back.

good name" the captain told her.

him.

said.
"Why, that is all foolishness," he
said she told him. 81 may have been
indiscreet, but Bill Annis and [ have
been good friends, and that's all"
Don't you worry, little GIRL he
said to her. "Tll show these people
how I trust and believe in you. Well
have Billy Annis up to dinner"
Then he went to the telephone and
called Annis up and asked him to
come out to dinner. Annis declined,
but came later, and Mrs. Hams, the
captain, Annis and his wife went to
Coney Island in the automobile and
were arrested for speeding. Annis
drove the car.
The witness said his brothers ac-
lions were irrational while he was tell
ing him about his family troubles.
After brief cross examination
court adjourned until Monday.
