BURGLAR HAD TO MAKE CHANGE
Bankers Business Instincts Asserted
Themselves In Emergency.

A group Of his friends were discus
sing William Winslow Sherman, the
old banker who died not long ago. HE
had the coolest nerve of any man I
know" said one. "Three or four
years ago when Sherman was an old
man and partially crippled by reason
of fall from horse, he entered his
bedroom late at night to find masked
burglar ransacking it. The thief had
big gun trained on Sherman in a
minuete. The banker just waived it
aside with a tired hand. Put that
away, he said, irritably. Let us dis
cuss this matter like gentlemen The
burglar was so surprised he laughed
Now, you could hurt me if you wanted
to, and might get away with some
little knicks-knacks,' said Sherman.
But you might be caught, and there's
a slight probability that you could dis
pose of my toilet articles profitably.
What would you consider a fair cash
proposition to go away? They talked
1t over in all peace. The burglar
thought he ought to have $40, but
Sherman. after inquiring into the
mans habits, said IS was enough.
You see, he said, you're a known
thief If this were your first offense
I'd pay your price, but now the police
have your picture you ought to be glad
to accept any fair compromise and
run no risk The burglar finally
agreed to take SIS. Sherman pulled
out a $40 bill. Give me 90 change
said he. And he got it, before he
paid. From New York Letter

WEALTHY CONVICT
SHOWS REPENTANCE
PRISON LIFE BREAKS
ARROGANT SPIRIT
William Bradbury Millionaire, I'm San
Quentin for Perjury, Finds in BIZ
bic and Authorizes Attorney to
Pay Up All Bills and Right All
Wrongs As Far AS Money VIII.

San Fafael Calf, Nov. 19.-With
his arrogant spirit broken by the
weight of prison stripes and the
knowledge that heavy burden of
years Is bearing him toward the
grave, William b. Bradbury, the aged
Corte MADEIRA millionaire, has turned
to the Bible for solace and is paying
off his debts. From his cell in the
San quentin penitent.ary where he is
sentenced to spend q year for per-
jury the old man has ordered his at
torneys to settle his every debt and
right every wrong IL money can do so.
According to the attorneys every
claim will be paid as fast as the bills
are presented. The sudden reform
came as u surprise to every one but
the prison officials who have watch
ed his rapid metamorphosis from a
stubborn, close fisted man to a more
kindly one, prone to do little acts
of charity. When the millionaire
was taken to prison recently, he left
the world of free men much embit-
tered.

AZ men had been found alive in the

stated the men were under the i'm
preston that they had been in the
mine but day. According to Paul,
they were found sheltered behind a
wall of debris They lived on food
carried into the mine with them. At
two thirty this afternoon twenty one
living men had been removed from the
mine.
This afternoon so bodies had been
taken from the mine, 20 of which had
been identified.
Later.-A hundred men were found
alive when the inspectors made their
second trip in the mine, which now
makes a total Of one hundred and
forty two survivors.

Seattle, Nov. 20.-That the Cum
ningham entrymen had gentle
mems agreement" to consolidate their
claims and work them in common or
sell in a body to the Guggenheims,
but had no such binding compact as
to involve the integrity of individual
titles of the entrymen, is the defense
indicated in the preliminary sparring
in the coal lands cases being tried
here.
By affidavits of the entrymen and
of the Cunningham agent, the gov
ernment has already shown that or
iginally there was an agreement or
understanding among the entrymen
which would consolidate the claims
and give Cunningham an eighth in
terest for his services. Entryman A
D. Jones, in an affidavit, said: eve
have understood among ourselves
that when the titles have been secur-
ed we would form company TO com
bine the entire group. This was only
an understanding. We had no writ
ten agreement or instrument what
ever. Last spring the Guggenhein
agent made us an offer which a few
wanted to accept, but the majority
refused to consider and the others
stood. by the majority"

MONDAY WILL SEE GREAT
CRISIS IN LONDON

London. Nov. 2O.-The consHtu-
ton of the Cn7Ied Kingdom will fall
in the melting pot on Monday when
the budget is moved for passage in
the house of lords. Its rejection which
seems certain. gives the voters two
alternatives at the January election.
The first will be upholding of the
liberals and the budget and giving
added impetus to the marked social
istic tendencies of recent politics and
the other is the upholding of the
lords, and the consequent reputation
of the constitutional provision of the
house of commons to control the f.
nancial end of the government, thus
damming the socialistic tide. No
matter which side wins. a revolution
in British politics is sure to follow.

Mike Ryan's fate will probably be
in the hands of the jury by 10 o'clock
this evening. At time of going to
press, practically all that remained
was the arguments of the attorneys
and it is not believed that many hours
will be consumed in this. 1t is there
fore possible that the man accused of
murder will know by morning what
fate is in store for him
The feature of yesterday afternoons
sessions of the trial was the cross-ex-
animation of Ryan. For more than
three hours District Attorney Phelps
kept the witness on the stand and do
ing great portion of that time he
was beside himself with anger. If IL
was the purpose of the district attor-
ney to show to the jury that the ac-
cused man had an ungovernable tenn
per and vindictive spirit, he apparent
ly was successful.
Otherwise the defendant made a
good witness for himself He told a
straightforward story of the occur
ences on the day and evening of the
tragedy, apparently fully accounting
for his presence in the lane with the
gun when. Shubert was first stopped
and also for his presene with the same
gun in the Dixie pasture, later in the
evening when Ryan and Dixon return
ed for the team
When Ryan left the stand, the de-
fense began the introduction of tes-
timony to show that it was impossible
to distinguish a gun in the hands of
man near the Ryan house from the
Neuner home, a feat which both Shu-
bert and Neuner claimed they did.
Twenty-one tests were made. Wit
nesses were also put on the stand to
discharge from gun, similar to the
one used by Ryan. would not leave a
powder mark on clothing. As the am
cunt of powder used in the cartridge
with which the test was made, was
not the same as that in the cart
ridge with which Dixon was killed.
the court refused to allow the testi-
mony to go to the jury 1t was there
fore read in to the record.
The threatened introduction of
character and reputation testimony
failed to Ifiaterialize thus far and the
rebuttal testimony, if any will there
fore probably be short.
The court has been packed with
spectators all day. there being the
most women present of any time since

BOLD DIAMOND
ROBBERY IN CITY
MRS. w. VI. SLUSHER
LOSES $500 JEWELS
Theft is Supposed TO Have Occurred
Last Sunday While Family Was at
Church--Officcrs Have Been Work
ing all Week on Case buI no Clew
is Afforded.

News of a $500 diamond robbery
which occurred in this city during the
past week, has just come to light The
officers have been working quietly on
the case for some time in the hopes
OF being able to aprehend the guilty
person but they have about come to
the conclusion that the robber has
made good his escape from the city.
Mrs. William Slusher, wife of Will
liam Siusher, the prominent wool
grower and former joint representative
from Umatilla and Morrow county is
the victim. The diamonds are believ-
ed to have been taken from her room
in their residence in North Pendle-
ton last Sunday morning while the
family was at church. While the Hired
girl was in the kitchen. preparing
the midday meal, it is believed the
thief, who had evidently been OBJ
serving the habits of the family. en-
to the room of Mrs Slusher and Sc
cured possession of the jewels. That
he was familiar with the house and
the place where the diamonds were
kept is evident from the fact that
nothing else was taken.
The jewels taken consisted of two
solitaires and a turquoise ring with a
diamond setting. The jewels were
valued at 5000, not to mention the
value placed upon them by the owner
through the attachment she had
formed for them during the years of
their possession
The last time Mrs. Slusher wore
the rings was last Saturday evening
They were not missed until Tuesday
but it is believed that the only time
when they could possibly have been
taken was Sunday morning when the
family was at church
Both the city and county Officers
are working on the case, but owing
to tho two days start which the thief
bad. and the probability that he i'm
mediately made an effort to put
great distance between himself and
Pendleton, there seems to be small
chance Of apprehending the perpe-
traitor of the bold deed

st. Louis, Nov. 20.--The govern
ment today won the suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey. with a hundred million capt.
tai. The case was brought at the d.
rection of Roosevelt, by Deputy Attor>
ney General Kellogg. The Oil com-
many is thus delivered severe blow,
as the government was sustained in
nearly every point The only exoep-
tions were made in favor of minor
subsidiary companies named as de-
PENDANTS. These, 1t is held are not
clearly shown to be dominated by the
trust. The orders of the court IN re-
gard to the Standard do not take ef-
feet for thirty days. The decision was
announced in the United states circuit
court by Judge Elmer b. Adams to-
day.
Argued in Several Cities
The case is one of the most mem
orable in the records of Jurisprudence.
The hearings have expended In various
form over nearly two years and testi-
monv was taken in great number oil
cities, notably in New York, WASH
ington and Chicago. In New YORK
high officials of the Standard on
company. including John d. Rookie
Teller we're called to the stand. The
government charged the corporation
with a monopoly in restraint of trade,
and introduced voluminous evidence
regarding the methods of the company
in dealing with competitors.
The suit was filed in the United
States circuit court in st. Louis in
1906 under the direction of the attur-
rev general. The action is one of
equity brought under the provisions
of the Sherman antitrust laws. The
control through the standard OIL
company OF New Jersey, OF more than
a hundred corporations engag ed in
refining and marketing oil. is charac-
terized as n conspiracy in restraint OF
trade. The government asked for a
permanent injunction restraining the
company from continuing its control
of the subsidiary corporations, and
from reorganizlng In such manner
