Little Rock for Safe
Keeping.

Hot Springs, Dec. 29.--Two deputy
sheriffs under arrest and hurried away
to Little Rock overland in an automo-
bile and the issuance of a warrent

Another Sensational Arrest.
That there will be another sensational
arrest tomorrow, perhaps unexpected
ly, is understood everywhere tonight.
There are rumors as to who this is.
but the coroner and prosecuting at
torney maintain rigid silence.
That these arrests are the echo of
the sensational testimony of Is pris-
oners in the county Jail who were
witnesses in an executive session of
the Grand Jury, is positive. That
there will be startling disclosures of the
detail of the midnight visit to the Jail
when Chitwood was taken out is as
sured, when the prosecuting attorney
sees his way to make the secret testi-
mony public.
The coroner jury held further exc
,utive sessions today and adjourned
Until tomorrow. Night sessions have
zen abandoned because of the danger
n bringing together a large crowd in
community so wrought up as Hot
Springs is today and tonight.
These Arrests Ordered.
The arrests that have been made in
the case have been through authority
of tire prosecuting attorneys Office and
the orders have been issued to the cor
oner. The order for the arrest was
made last night. 1t was not carried
out promptly and this morning j. B.
Wood. prosecuting Attorney, insisted
that his order be carried out, and it
was done. Murray and Rutherford
were not found for few hours and it
was rumored that they had hidden out,
but this afternoon a deputy found
them in an automobile after brief spin
in the country and took them through
the city to Little Rock.
There is no disputine that the prose-
cutting attorney is in possession of as
founding details in connection with the
taking of Chitwood out of the JAIL This
will not be made known for several
days. Pardons for seven prisoners
for minor offences may be asked any
day by the prosecuting attorney of the

HISTORICAL
INSTITUTE
AT ASTORIA

The delivering of the historical
lectures entering into the program
of the historical institute to be held
at Astoria during the last week of
the Centennial celebration on the
historic spots on which the events
with which the deal occurred will be
one of the features of the institute.
The plan is one which was formulat-
ed by State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Alderman, who is now
preparing the program for the insti-
tute.
Superintendent Alderman stated
this morning tina a wide interest had
been created in the institute Wash
ington, Idaho, and Montana, which
were formerly part of the Oregon
territory are interested and will par
ticipate. He has succeeded in get
ting for the program some of the best
speakers and historical writer's of
the west, and it promises to become
bration. Frederick V. Holman, the
noted Portland lawyer, will be one of
the speakers, and another will be
Eva Emery Dye, Oregon's greatest
author. She will take for her sub
ject IAN Oregon Hero" Probably
her most noted work is the book deal
ing with Mclaughlin.
The reason for the plan to deliver
all of the historical lectures on the
spots where the events with which
they deal occurred is that it will lend
impressiveness to them. Arrange
ments are to be made to run eXcur-
sions to these places.
1t will be the plan of Superinten-
dent Alderman to have all the pro-
ceedings of the institute published
and used as text in the schools OF
the state. He believes that in this
way he will be able to make the
students of Oregon History more
conversant with the history of the
state than by relying upon the ordi.
nary text books which deal with il
only in the way of glittering general
tiles.

WAPPENSTEIN GETS
FROM THREE TO TEN YEARS

llNAlhD 1ALoo LEAoEE = AhLsl
Seattle, Wash, July 19.-Charles
W. Wappenstein, eX-police chief, con-
victed of accepting a $1,000 bribe
from Gid Upper and Clarence Ger
aid, as for protection of resorts, was
sentenced by Superior Judge Ronald
this morning to a term of not less
than three, or more than 10 years
at hard labor in the penitentiary
After Attorney Shipley, for Wap-
penstein, had made the argument for
new trial, and followed this up with
a motion to arrest judgment, both of
which motions were denied, Will H.
Morris, chief counsel for Wappens-
tein, made a passionate plea for JUS
tice tempered with mercy"
He begged that Wapenstein be let
off with fine only. When he refer
red to Wapepnstein's 1S-year-old
daughter and his 16-year-old son, his
wife, against whose family, the
Benns, pioneers in the state, there
never has been a taint of of suspi-
cion,' Wappenstein's face flushed, his
eyes grew moist, and there was sus-
picion of tear.
For an hour and half his attor-
ney pleaded for him before sentence
was finally passed. Judge Ronald,
after remarking that in almost every
case the innocent must suffer by the
sentencing of a man, said that to
merely impose a fine in this case
would make the trial degenerate into
farce.
Wappenstein is out on his present
bail of $S7,50O, pending appeal. The
maximum sentence is ten years and a
$4,000 fine.

ored the bill was because Edward

interested himself in the election of
William Lorimer as senator from IL

Reynolds, in part, supported the

been used to elect Lorimer. Hines
is director of Reynolds bank.

"Hines came into my office. He said
he had just arrived from Washing

have an important influence on Illi-

was one from the administration,
through Senator Aldrich to Governor
Deneen, that conference of leading
senators had discussed the election
of senator from Illinois. He said
these senator's, with the president,
believed a senator should be elected
without further delay and they
thought the majority of the state
legislature would be more likely to
unite on Lorimer than on anyone
else. He said he must get his mes
sage to Governor Deneen by tele-
