Mrs. Jenkins had declared that she
recovered her jewels in New York. and
not In Chicago, as was given out at
the time OF the recovery. She as

THESE persons was her attorney. K. G..

she men declared by the Mooney and
Bolan0 agency to have been the
thieves. Two of these alleged thieves.
she says were brought before her in
the Chicago offices OF Mooney and 30
land about week previously. No ar
rest OF the alleged thieves was then
attempted, and no apprehension OF
them ever has been undertaken by the
Chicago authorities.
The Yonkers woman gave the police
much information about the affairs OF
Mrs. jenkins. which Mrs. Jenkins as
sured the police She could never nave
gotten save by forcing. open the cedar
chest and reading the letters there, as
they were in Il tray in The said chest

Further Suspicion.
Another peculiar incident fastens
further suspicion on the mysterious
woman. on the day of the robbery
she advised Mrs. jenkins not to wear
very much Jewelry. and the result was
that about $4,000 worth OF jewelry
that she usually wore was stolen with
the rest.
All the time that Mrs jenkins was
entertaining her and showing her the
utmost hospitality this mysterious wo-
man was shadowing her, pryinE into
Der business. and unearthing letters
from Mrs. Jenkins's private boxes
Soon after Commissioner Dougherty
commenced his investigation Mrs Jen-
kins was summoned to Chicago to the
Office of Mooney & Boland, in that city,
and she was shown two men whom
she was told were two eX-convicts who
had been in the scheme to rob her. She
was told that the information about
the jewellery had come TO her through
a chance remark heard in Saratoga
by a man who obtained a $4,000 re-
ward later on. Mr. Doughcrty learned
also that when Mrs Jenkins heard
that the jewels had been located she
demanded the immediate recovery of
the property, declaring that II tho
property was not delivered TO her di-
rectly she would start criminal pro-
ceedings

Especial TO The rimes-D.snatch +,

Washington, d. c., June 29-In tbe
case of the Victory Manufacturing
company against the Southern Rail
way involving the question OF an
equitable rate on coal shipments from
the coal mines OF Tennessee and Ken
lucky to Spartanburg. decision was
reached by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day, in which II IS
heio that rate OF s1.95 a ton for
the transportation OF coal from Coal
Creek. Tenn. to Spartanburg is found
TO be unreasonable. and a rate of s1.s5
Is substituted therefor. Carriers are
LETT to work out proper reimbursement
or rates ana differentials. and no order
Is made fixing a diferential to apply

The complaint In this case was d.
rected against an advance of Is cents
ton in the rate on coal from Coal
creek 10 Spartanburg, effective An
gust ., 1910. The compliments are
cotton mill operators In South Caro-
Tina. and are large users of steam
coal.
After reviewing the case at lengt 1,
and reciting the fact that n the hear
coal operators were allowed to inter-
vene, the commission says that under
all the circumstances It is of the
opinion that the railroads have not
shown the increased rate of Sl.95 to
be reasonable, hence II is ordered that

many years prior TO August Is last.

SALEM HIGH
PLAY AGAINST
WASHINGTON

The Salem high school football
team, still sore. both physically and
mentally, from its game with Eugene
week ago, has been praCticing hard
the past few days getting in shape
for the coming contest Saturday with
the Washington High, Of Portland.
The boys showed a great lack of
knowledge in the art of tackling, and
Coach Moore has been remedying
this fault by continual practice in
that particular line. He says the
boys are getting together wonderful-
ly well, and that they hope to hold
the Portland heaves to a very close
score. The Washington High has not
been beaten this year. In fact, no
team has ever been within striking
distance of their goal, and the locaI
lads, in their quest for glory, know
that they are going up against q
pretty stiff game. Practice was held
with the Willamette team last even.

did some excellent offensive work.

OUR SENATOR
DESTROYS OF IF
INFORMATION

The Salem Board Of Trade has re-
ceived the following letter from Sen
ator Bourne:
among the items in the last river
and harbor bill was my amendment
appropriating 100000 for the pur-
chase Of the canal and locks at Ore
gon City, or construction of new
locks. Recently, after many confer
ences with and arguments before Of
iiCials Of the war department and
the department Of justice, | secured
the issuance Of telegraphlc lnstruc-
ton TO the district engineer to pro-
coed with the work of securing a
right OF way.
"While | have had no direct infor-
nation on the subject | have heard It
reported that some controversy has
arisen upon the question whether the
locks should be located on the east
or west side of the river. VIII thank
you very much If you will advise
me what action the commercial inter
ests of the Willamette valley are
taking in the matter.
Would be very sorry to see any
controversy arise which would delay
proceedings, as It was only after the
most strenuous efforts before the
commerce committee that was able
TO get this appropriation In the bill.
In fact It Is the only appropria-
ton which Il have any knowledge
that was put into the bill without a
specific recommendation by the sec
retary Of war Would appreciate an
early reply"
