Portland, Ore, May ga num-
Der of witnesses today viii be called
before the grand jury investigating
the strange disappearance of Mrs.
Hanna Smith, Swedish widow, who
dropped from sight May 8.
Eric Ericsson, an undertaken, the
custodian of the aged womans small
fortune, who admitted that he caused
to be sent fake telegram from Los
Angeles purporting to be signed by
Mrs. Smith. and who is involved IN
the badling case, probably will be
among those to testify before the I'm
Quisitorlal body today.
Ericsson was to have gone before
the grand jury yesterday, but at the
last moment he refused to do so, The
authorities today received dispatches
from the Los ,Angeles police 70 the
effect that F. W Lehbrick, tfAvel-
ing salesman, who sent the fake tell
egram from Los Angeles, ct Ericson's
request, late last night turned over
another letter to them from Eric
son.
In the letter Ericsson appealed to
Lehbrick to get possession of the
original OF the telegram, which is re-
sponsible for the investigation now
under way In Portland.
In statement to the police Of the
California city. Lehbrick is reported
to have said that he didn't know
Mrs. Smith; and that he sent the tel
egram just to assist Ericsson in a
practical Joke"
The Portland police declare that
Lehbrick is not involved in the affair,
other than the fact that he sent the
telegram.

New York, May 26.-By introduc-
ing in evidence a letter written by
Charles R. Heike, secretary of the
American Sugar Refining Co, to the
Boston superintendent of the COM
pany, the Heike prosecution today
played one of its highest cards.
The letter admits that there was a
decided discrepancy between the
weights on which duty was paid, and
the weights kept by the officers for
record, and referred to liberal treat
ment' by customs employees. The
letter was dated Semptember "a,
1904, and said in part:
"The differences are due to the de-
sire of the Euperintendents to make
record and to liberal weights re-
ceiVed from rhe customs house. and
which, of course, we, do not. under
take to correct. we do not want
two sets of weights kept on the
books, one representing customs
house weight, on which duty is paid,
and the other melting weight, which
is the greater"
Deputy Collector on Stand.
New York, May 26.AThe first di-
rect attempt to connect Charles R,
Heike, Ct the American Sugar Refin-
Ing Company. with sugar frauds, was
made today by the federal prosecu-
tors, when they introduced in evi-
dence today United States checks en-
dorsed with his name. The checks
represented rebates paid by the gov
ernment on sugar importations.
Henry Waters, acting deputy col
lector of the port here, was placed OF
the stand when the checks were in.
troduced in evidence. He said that
the sugar trust" paid on sugar i'm
ports amounts estimated by the col.
lector. These estimates invariably
were too much, and rebate checks
were sent when the weighers' re-
ports were received. The prosecu.
tion contends that this evidence
shows that Secretary Heike knew all
about the short weight transactions

Washington, May 26.--The Near

search of the steamer Esfuerzo near

today was notified officially of the
action of the commander of the We

considering what action may be talk

The fact that the Esfuerzo, al
though flying a Nicaraguap flag, is
an American vessel, complicates the
situation but it is probable that the
state department will recommend
some decisive action.
