r;W YORK, July 16--A mass Of evil
M | dcnce was gathered today which
vi clearly indicates that Herman Ros-
enthal was murdered as the result
OF gambler-p police plot to nip in
the bud the exposure OF police gamblers
which Rosenthal threatened.
The police laid the crime at the door
of the gamblers. On the other hand,
those OF the gambling fraternity who were
closest to Rosenthal. said that the po-
lice had a much greater motive in such
a tragedy than the gamblers.
With remarkable rapidity the police
captured a slate colored automobile which
they alleged was used In the commission
of the crime, and arrested three men who
arc charged with having more or less
knowledge OF the murder. The prisoners
were Louis Libby, whose name is regist-
cred as the owner of the car; William
Shapiro. Libbys chauffeur and partner
and John Clark, who, because of his repu-
tation as a gambler and because he had
been seen near the Metropolis entrance
when Rosenthal was shot dead, is be-

At the same time that the police as

mystery of the murder. five witnesses
were found who testified that no slate

RELIEF PROMISED
BY ESPEE
CHANGE IN SCHEDULE MAY
AVOID DELAY AT PORTLAND.
Commercial Club Committee Gets
Promise of Relief Which May
Bring Portland Train on Time.

That new time card will go into
effect soon on the Southern Pacific,
whereby arrangements will probably
be made to avoid the delays incident
to the departure of the night train
from the Union station, Portland, for
Dallas, is the information received by
local S. p. Agent I. N Woods the first
of the week The letter came in re-
sponse to a communication from the
railway committee of the Dallas Com
mercial club, under instructions given
at the last meeting of the club to do
what was possible to remedy condi-
tions.
AS the train schedules now exist,
the Dallas train is the last of
three which leave the Union station,
about A o'clock, and all of them are
generally held there until the arrival
of the northbound Roseburg local on
the main line, which is usually from
10 minutes to a half hour late there
by causing the Dallas train to reach
the city considerably behind it's regu
lar schedule. This results in delay in
receiving night mail, and in incon-
venlence to people who make the re-
turn trip. 1t had been suggested that
the night train leave the Jefferson
street station rather than the Union
depot, in order to avoid the delay, but
the promised change in schedule may
remedy the difficulty.

PLEDGE FUNDS FOR
NEW MILL SITE

Eight Acre Site Near Planning Mill
Assist in Purchasing Plant.

FALLS CITY, Aug. 29.-(Special) }
Five thousand dollars of the $4,000
necessary to assist the Falls City
Lumber company in purchasing a
site for it's new mill here, has already
been raised, and it seems probable
that the remaining $1,000 will shortly
be- pledged. The site which it is
proposed to buy is located east Of
the present planning mill and consists
of about eight acres. Officials Of the
company declare that il will provide
the mill with an ideal location, and
Immediately the land is secured ar
rangements to rebuild the mill de-
stroyed by fire a few days since will
be undertaken
The people of Falls City are united
on this question and have been work.
ing shoulder to shoulder to keep the
mill here. The Falls City Lumber
company is the greatest asset that the
city possesses at this time, and it is
certain that the city will do every
thing I'm its power to meet the wishes
of the company The latter has shown
"a praiseworthy disposition to meet the
city half way, a fact which is appre-
ciated. From the present outlook
everything is promising and the con-
tinued prosperity Of the city seems
assured.

10000 FISH FOR

TROUT FRY PLANTED IN WATER
WAYS OF COUNTY YESTERDAY.
Carload Comes From State Hatchery
at Bonneville: Waiting C0nyeyances
Hurry IL to New Homes.

Seventy thousand trout fry from the
state hatchery at Bonneville, arrived
in Dallas yesterday, in charge of five
men from the state fish and game
wardens office, and are now peace
fully foraging for sustenance in the
principal streams of Polk county
There were 1853 cans in the carload, OF
which 103 cans contained rainbow
trout and so cans of Eastern brook
trout. Twelve cans of rainbow trout
were deposited in Salt Creek 40 cans,
including the brook trout, We're sent
to Falls City, and the balance were
liberated in the LaCreole and its
tributaries.
The fish arrived in very good con-
dition and were met at the Dallas sta
ton by f. A. Toner and II. b. Cosper,
who superintended their removal to
their new homes. A number of con-
veyances that had been engaged in
advance were on hand and the fry
were transported to the different
creeks with as little delay as possi-

soliciting Without Authority.

1t was reported yesterday that two
statesmen for Portland lots were So
Letting sales in Dallas without the
permission of the Commercial club
committee. Whether they were sue
cessful or not, it is impossible to learn,
but it's a cinch they wouldn't have
been granted permission by the COM
mittee. There is no occasion for a
Dallas capitalist to invest his money
to enrich the pockets of any Portland
real estate boomer, or add to the COM
mission of travelling agents. There
are plenty of opportunities in Polk
county for remunerative investments
and by leaving your money here you
stand a chance of getting it back
some time, besides adding to the
wealth of the county. Give the for
eign real estate agent a cold shoulder
all he wants from you is your
money.
