A Dirty Employment.

Columbus, o., May Through the
arrest here of q. s. Harrison, A. o.
Bailey and David Perry, three detec-
tives employed by William ]. Burns
agency, the Ohio legislature today
faces grand jury probe for alleged
boodling during the present session.
Under the supposition that the de-
tectives were lobbyists, the three
men were taken into custody. They
are accused OF having attempted to
bribe DR.. George B. Nye, a represen-
tative and were arrested after Nye
and Speaker Vining had laid a trap
for them.
No sooner were they arrested how
ever, than the three men identified
themselves as Burns operatives and
announced that they had evidence Of

corruption against at least 20 mem-
bers of the legislature which would
be presented to the grand Jury to-
morrow. Notwithstanding this
charge, the three sIeuths were ar
raigned today and released in $4,000
bonds each on the bribery charge
The detectives allege that 10 mem-
bers of the state senat alone are in
volyed in tn crookedness they have
unearthed. They are alleged to have
been retained by a large manufacture
ers' association, which was being
bled, and to have obtained their evi-
dence by a dictaphone.
Are Guilty Of Crime.
The story Of the arrests as given
out by Nye is that Bailey and Berry
gave the legislator s1OO cash for his
support against a bill limiting the
working hours of women to nine
daily. Bailey then conferred with
Speaker Vlning and the latter ar
ranged to have Nye accept bribe.
Harrison, the detective in charge,
meantime had arranged for the other
bribe. He had fitted up a room adj
joining the one where Nye was to
accept the bribe with dictaphone
and had stenographer ready to take
down the conversation. Under these
circumstances Nye accepted the sec
ond bribe. The arrests followed and
then both sides found they were dou-
BILE crossed.
It is feared here that the arrest Of
the detectives will cripple the inves-
tigation of the legislature which was
under way. They had been working
for six weeks, and in attempting to
determine II Nye were susceptible,
made 1t possible for the representa-
tive and Speaker Vining to trap
them.

MONEY FOR
THE ASTORIA
EXPOSITION

Whenever the citizens of Astoria
and Clatsop county shall produce
evidence to show that they combined
have turned over to the Astoria Cen
tennial Committee $4,000 for the
celebration of the Astoria Centennial
Celebration 1t shall be sufficient
proof to warrant the secretary of
state to draw a warrant in favor of
the committee covering the $4,000
appropriated by the last legislature
for the celebration of the event is the
opinion rendered today by Attorney
General Crawford
The secretary of state, however,
does not agree with the attorney
generals construction Of the law and
it can be definitely stated that he
will not turn the entire appropriation
over to the committee to be spent
without any safe guards but will re-
serve the right to audit the claims
himself. There is nothing in the bill
making the appropriation granting
him this power but he will take the
position that he is authorized to do
under the Dimick law which was also
passed by the last legislature and
prior to the act making the appro-
o.. IL
The attorney general holds that the
turning over of the $4,000 by the
citizens of Astoria and Clatsop coun-
ty to the Centennial committee is q
condition precedent to the turning
over to the committee of the $4,000
appropriated by the Legislature and
so far the secretary agrees with him.
The preamble of the bill provides
that the money shall not be spent In
any other way than as provided in
it and the attorney general says he
knows of no way of safeguarding
this, unless a bond should be exacted
from the committee, and here the at
torney general and secretary disa-
gree.
The secretary takes the position
that he is without any authority to
exact bond and while he agrees
with the attorney general that the
bill making the appropriation pre-
scribes no safe guards he takes the
stand that the Dimick law prescrib-
ing the manner in which money is to
be disbursed by the secretary OF
state gives him authority to insist
that all the claims paid by the state
appropriation he audited by him.
That law provides that 1t shall be
the duty of the secretary to examine
and audit all claims against the
state and that no public moneys oil
any name and nature, whatsoever
shall be paid out Of any fund or
funds of the state unless he has e1-
amined, audited and indorsed the
claims.
The secretary takes the position

With the announcement here yes
terday that w. G.. Allen, of the AL
len Fruit Company, had been made
Western Oregon manager for the ter
ritory south of Portland of the Cali
fornia Fruit Gamers Association,
details of plan involving practical
ly all the cherry and berry growers
Of the western part of the state were
made known. The California COM
pany has contracted for the entire
output for three years of practically
every cherry orchard in the William
cite, Umpqua and Rogue river val
leys at cents pound. 1t is is also
contracting as rapidly as possible for
the total loganberry output of the
same territory at $50 a ton.
Dried Fruit Also Sought.
The contracts have been closed
through the fruit growers associa-
tions in the principal towns in the
sections covered, and all the grow
ers will have to do is to deliver their
fruit at the nearest railroad station
or at their canenries at Roseburg,
Eugene, Salem and Portland, and
draw their money. The cannery men
are also looking after all the dried
fruit, particularly prunes. raised in
the Willamette valley, and will even
tually take in the other fruit inter-
ests.
The California Fruit Gamers AS
ISOLATION has headquarters at San
Francisco, and is one of the largest
concerns of its kind in the United
States. 1t has unlimited capital at
its command, and its entry into the
Oregon field for business means that
hereafter there will be a market for
all the fruit grown in this territory,
and at good price. Their inten-
ton is to develop the acreage and
the production as much as possible.
Salem to BE Center.
Mr.. Aliens headquarters will be
at Salem, where the principal pack
of the canned goods will be made, as
the equipment of the plant there Is
more complete than at any other
point south of Portland. At Eugene
all the cherry crop will be made into
maraschinos, for which a large de-
mand has been had In recent years.
The crop at Roseburg will also be
made into maraschinos, and will
either be packed there or shipped to
Eugene. The original plan was to
ship the entire product to San Fran
cisco and pack 1t there, but Mr.. Allen
objected to this plan, insisting on
having the canneries located in the
territory in which the fruit is pro
duced.
Mr.. Allen left last night for San
Francisco to confer with the officers
OF the association with reference to
future plans. He will return in ten
days, and will move at once to Sa-
lem where he will open headquar-
ters for the company.

EVANS IS
PAROLED
FROM PEN
MAN WHO TOOK LAW IN HIS
OWN HANDS WHEN EVICTED
FROM HIS PROPERTY BY THE
S. p. AND HELD UP DOZENS OF
TRAINS is FREE AFTER II
YEARS.

Sacramento, CAL, May 1.-The
parole granted Chris Evans, one time
famous Evans-Sontag gang Of train
robbers by the state board of prison
director went into effect this morn
ing, when the old ex-bandit walked
out Of Folsom penitentiary, where he
was confined for II years and 2
months.
His youngest daughter, Mrs. Wini-
fred Burrell, of Sacramento, to whose
untiring efforts in his behalf for the
past five years, Evans largely owes
his liberty, and a party of his init
mate friends were at the prison gates
to meet him.
A few minutes later, with the men
who had guarded him for nearly a
score of years waving him God speed,
he was whlsked away to Sacramento
in an automobile. Evans had beg
ged to to be taken out into the world
in some manner other than on the
train of the Southern Pacific, which
corporation he had fought so desper-
ately in times past.
Will Come to Oregon.
Chris Evans will remain in Sacra-
mento for a few days with his daugh-
ter, and will then go to Portland,
Ore, where his wife and other mem
bers of his family reside. This is
part of his parole order
Despite his long confinement,
which has silvered his hair, to the
color of stone walls, and has made
his cheeks lean,i his ndomitable
spirit has not been broken nor his
heart embittered. He was like boy
in his regained liberty. Everything
was wonderful to him, and the pa
thetic smile that is characteristic Of
him did not leave his face from the
time he awoke early this morning
until he reached his destination in
Sacramento.
Happy at Being Free.
In an attempt to avoid publicity,
which he keenly dislikes, and in an
endeavor to evade a United Press
representative with a camera, Evans
directed his a tomobile driver to
speed up. At Sacramento, however,
he consented to sit for his photo
graph, the first taken in II years
He had raced with the camera man
all the way in from Folsom.
"The race provided me with more
real enjoyment than anything since 1
was hunted by the Southern Pacific's
blood money men nearly two decades
ago." said Evans. you wouldn't
have caught me this time, but for a
long freight train that blocked my
path for FIVE minutes. The Southern
Pacific blocked me again"

BANGOR IS
LOSER SIX
MILLIONS
FIRE LAST NIGHT SWEPT DIS.
TRICT TWO MILES LONG AND
QUARTER OF A MILE WIDE
THREE DEAD, so INJURED,
THOUSANDS HOMELESS.

Bangor, Me-, May with three
known dead, 80 injured and thou
sands homeless; with the city under
martial law and soldiers with loaded
rifles guarding bank vaults against
looters, Bangor today sees the last
fiickers of a fire which cost her be-
tween five and six million dollars and
has wiped out a section Of the city
two miles long and quarter of a
mile wide.
Fire Starts in Hay Shed.
The fire started in hayshed near
the ]. Frank Green building on
Broad street, and in a short time was
sweeping through the city in north
westerly direction.
Before midnight, both sides Of Ex-
change street from York to State
both sides of State street from Ken
duskeag stream to Broadway, con-
siderable part of Central Franklin
streets, nearly all of Park street and
Marlow street was in ruins and the
flames had made inroads Of nearly
mile into the best residential section
Of Broadway, Center and West
streets.
Half an hour after the first alarm,
nearly a dozen buildings were In
flames, and the fire was eating It's way
northerly on either side Of Kendus-
keag stream. In its path were banks,
office buildings, library and other
structures, all of which were con-
sumed.
Beyond All Control.
At 10:30 o'clock large part Of the
wholesale district as well as the en-
tire retail district was in flames, and
few, II any, of the buildings seemed
likely of escape. In all sections Of
the city people were moving out their
belongings and hurrylng to places OF
safety. Many were already homeless
and with churches and public build
ings in ruins, there were few places
where they could be cared for.
Several alarms were sounded al
most simultaneously. In addition to
the fire at the corner of Broad and
Exhange streets, the firemen found a
blaze in bicycle repair shop in the
rear Of the telephone office. Both
fires spread with such rapidity that
the fire men we're helplss
