PITTSFIELD.

ternoon, February 5, with a fair at
tendance. There were quotations by
the members and readings by Sister

question was, (Which receives the

one who attends regularly or the
one who comes occasionally" The
discussion was opened by Worthy
Overseer B. F. Slipp and most of
those present took a hand in 1t be-
fore it was closed. 1t seemed like a
one-sided question at first thought

fore it was dropped The Worthy

Bad Flaws Found in Names State
House.

When the Legislature of 1909 was
voting the money for the enlargement
of the State House, its members had
small knowledge of how little stood
between them and death at that mo-
ment.
At best a dozen sticks of old pump
kin pine, which had been in place for
70 odd years, from which the life was
entirely gone and in which signs of
rot were plainly discernible were
supporting the hundreds of tons
weight of the great gilded dome above
their heads. Such was the condition
of these timbers. When the wreck
ers began tearing out the old building
and saw this they wondered that the
dome had not crashed down upon
them. Not only were they in danger
from the dome, but for years, though
unknown to all, there has been the
constant menace of the end wall of
the south wing toppling over carry
ing death and destruction with it.
These facts were unknown when
the vote to rebuild the Capitol was
passed. Had they been understood
the vote might have come more quick
ly. Again, had these facts been known
In 1907, when Portland was making a
fight to cart away the State House,
1t might have made difference in the
result.
But these two dangers were not all
that existed at that time.
Since the work of demolishing the
State House began, number of dis
coveries regarding its construction
have been made, causing those who
have inhabited the old stone pile
these many years, to stop and con-
slider. AS result of these discover
les considerable work Is being done
which had not been figured upon In
the beginning.-Lewiston Journal.

the time of his death. He was 32d

SEEK EVIDENCE TO
TRACE 40 MURDERS
Aberdeen Police Believe They Have
New Facts Against Man Now
Under Arrest.

Aberdeen, Wash. Feb. THE police
declare that they have unearthed new
and startling evidence against William
Coil, who is under arrest, charged with
the alleged murder of Charles Hedberg.
What this alleged evidence is, or how
it was obtained, the police decline to
state, the only information they will
vouchsafe being that shortly after He'd
berg's disappearance, Coil gave out the
information that Hedberg and John
Hoffman, for whose body the police
are searching, had gone to Alaska. 1t
also is alleged that few days be-
fore he disappeared John Hoffman, who
was cigar dealer, drew $3.50 from
local bank. The police assert that they
have definite knowledge that Coil took
Hedberg's personal belongings from
the shack on Indian creek, where He'd
berg lived.
A peculiar feature of the case is
the number of persons who have come
forward with tales concerning alleged
crimes of Coil, these tales in most in
stances being based upon Coil s
alleged boasts of his manner of life.

TRAIN ROBBERS GET CASH.
Cover Occupants With Revolvers and
Say, "Please Be Quick

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 6.--Three un-
identified men held up and robbed pas
sengers on an eastbound Missouri Pa
cific train five miles east of here last
night About $500 and small amount
of jewelry was taken.
The robbers boarded the chair car
on the outskirts of Pittsburg. When
the train was near Cornell, Kan, they
jumped from their seats, backed Con-
ductor Garrety into corner, and,
drawing revolvers, warned him not to
call for assistance.
One robber then covered the passen-
gers with two revolvers. "You will
now prepare to give up your valu-
ables," he said. "My partner will pass
among you. Please be quick. F"
The "partner' thereupon produced
gunnysack and started on his tour,
collecting money, watches, diamonds
and rings.
One woman tainted The collector
calmly pulled ring from her finger,
picked up her purse from the floor,
where it had fallen, and passed on to
the next victim. Passengers revived
the woman after the robbers had left
the coach.
Throughout the progress of the
robbery the train hurried ahead. Not
one of the crew, with the exception
of the conductor, knew crime was
being perpetrated.
No attempt was made to rob the ex-
press car.
Sheriff Merriweather and a score of
deputies at once began searching for
the men. They are believed to be
hangers-on of the mining camps in the
northern part of the county.

TO PUT GOVERNMENT
ON BUSINESS BASIS
the Creation of Permanent
Commission.

Washington, Feb From the COM
mittee on public expenditures, Senator
Aldrich recently reported bill pro-
viding for the creation of permanent
commission on business methods in the
government. He said the bill had the
unanimous sanction of the expenditures
committee and sought to obtain immedi-
ate consideration. In this request he
was antagonized by Senator Elkins,
who said he desired opportunity to de-
termine whether the commission would
interfere with the functions of congress
sional committees. Accordingly the bill
went over, but Mr.. Aldrich gave notice
that he would call it up again.
The bill provides that the commission
shall consist of nine members, three of
which are to be members of the senate,
three of the house and three to be
appointed by the president. The meas
ure grows out of the efforts of the pub
lie expenditures committee to reduce
government expenditures.
