time to time Forbes could hear
him rafting round something.
Births, deaths and divorces;
murder, robbery and graft;
strikes, wars and plaques: the
subject-matter never varied, only
the names and places could be
called news.
He read with lazy interest a
warmed-over yarn about the
clever gentleman-thief who had
baffled the metropolitan police
for nearly year.
A well-known amateur de-
tective was giving the reporter an
exposition of his views. Here
was an artist. (Forbes cracked
the newspaper peevishly; was
there anything left to which this
term had not been applied? Any
body who did his work well was
an artist. ROTH
The thief, declared the anna
teur, was not a professional. He
was a man of infinite patience, of
Internal cleverness, never took
money, had made three daring
raids and ceased further to apply
his talents. To date the man had
taken over a hundred thousand
dollars worth of jewels. His
career had begun and ended with

So far, not a single part of the
loot had been offered to the
known fences" here or abroad.
This was the phase which puzzled
and baffled the police. Now he

that the thief was man who
moved in the exclusive circles

from which the jewels had been
purloined.
Even the police admitted that
he possessed an intimate and ac-
curate knowledge of the habits of
his victims. But the genius of
the man was made manifest in
his ability to wait.
Was there woman? Was
there unlucky speculation?
Horses and cards? Or was it
what he (Mr. Amateur) had
stated in previous article:
simply a brilliant hoax. a prac-
teal Joke, a careless wager by an
idle rich young man, who when
the time arrived would quietly
restore the jewels, give a dinner
and then search about for some
new abnormality?
At any rate, in the amateurs
opinion the Bertillion system
would never get hold of the man
to measure him for future iden-
tification.
In this Mr.. Amateur was per-
fectly correct. They never got
hold of the man. Almost, how
ever; only an arms length away:
clutch, a distance misjudged,
and off he went, into space, like
an exploded atom.

ment house, built especially for
persons who had plenty of money
and too small family for the
upkeep of a large house. They
were given all the comforts OF
home; valents, maids, cooks, wait
ers and bell boys, more like a
private hotel. There were ten
apartments. five on each side Of
the ornate marble entrance.
Forbes ran eagerly up the steps;
the door boy swung open the
door.

Forbes ran for the stairs. The
elevator Called lift here) was up,
and he was too impatient TO
wait. Besides, he wanted to sur
prise the boys, mechanically.
He scarcely paused at the first
landing. He would rather play
poker than eat.
And In his exuberance he fail
ed to hear the warning call from
the door-boy, who had come on
that day and was not yet accur-
ately versed In the topography
and occupancy q the apartments.
Forbes continued his rapid
ascent, two steps at a time. He
wanted to be at the door at pre-
cisely eight, like that old chap
what 's-his-name in Round the
World in Eighty Days.
He tiptoed into the private hall,
the outer door being unlocked.
There was light over the
transom. He could see them in
his minds eye: Jilson, Wheedon,
Jones, Carlyle, Miller and Craw-
ford. peering into their hands
their faces like Buddha gods. He
listened. Not sound. In the
middle of a play, no doubt.
Stealthily he put his hand on
the knob, turned and pushed 1t,
with the cry "Police!" on his lips.
The word died there, dryly. He
saw no poker game in action. In
stead, a man in evening dress,
full masked, knelt with his back
to an open safe. AS for the ar
fist, he gazed panic-stricked into
the round black sinister hole of
a Colts automatic.

SHIPPING INTERESTS
AWAIT FURTHER DATA
REGARDING CANAL TOLLS

Shipping interests in the city are
anXiously waiting to get more data on
the Panama canal toll rates. The
expressed determination of President
Wilson to oppose exempting Ameri-
can coastwise shipping from a canal
charge. which position he takes be-
cause of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
has brought up several interesting
questions in connection with the use
of the canal by steamers carrying
Hawaiian sugar.
c. P. Morse, general freight agent
IN charge of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company's interests here,
does not believe that the imposition
of a toll for American coastwise ships
using the canal will work much of a
hardship on local shippers.
The rate will not be high" he
said today. IF it is dollar a ton it
will mean that that sum will be add
ed to the freight charge But the saw
ing to the shipper through the use of
the canal will more than make up for
the toll charge
John Drew of Castle & Cooke,
agents for the Matson Navigation
Company, did not wish to express an
opinion on the subject. The sugar
carried by the Matson vessels is sent
direct to San Francisco and hence the
canal will not be used by those ships.
At the time the EIay-PauncefOte
treaty was being entered into,
strong objection was made by the Pa
cifc Mail steamship Company and
other navigation companies, against
the provision for the equalization Of
the tolls charged against ships OF all
countries:
The treaty reads that the canal
shall be open to vessels Of commerce
and wal Of all nations on terms Of
entire equality so that there shall be
no discrimination in respect to cOndi-
TORS or charges Of traffic"
The American-Hawaiian company
ships carry the bulk of the sugar
from here to New York.

How can such color come out Of the

How can you hold such q muscaiine

Giving it freely for mortals to share?
Why are you crimson, fold upon field.
When the clouds are blue and the

Where is your soul when the bleak

And dead leaves alone are the graces

How can a dewdrop tell. wonder.
Just what cover a rose is unier?
And a zephyr know what songs and
sighs
Shall win the sleeper to wake and
rise?
Why do you grow in a tangled place
Where never a mortal may see your

Or loving hand your leaves caress.
Or the voice of rapture your being

Do you droop and wither and fall

NOT \ MAN IN SIGHT.
fFrom the New York Times. }

(From the New York TlmeS.)
With the election of 1912 nearly
two years in the rear. the republican
party is still without a man. The
names of Borah, Hadley, Cummins
and La Toilette have struck no fire.
None of them stand out from the 9TH
ers as. for instance, Mr.. Whitman at
present seems to from the other can
didates for governor in this state. No
body looks like Moses. There is no
discussion of the nomination. as there
usually is at about this distance of
time from the year in which it Is to
be made-except when the possibility
OF nominating Roosevelt himself as
the candidate of both republicans and
progressives is mentioned. II such
q union should prove practicable, the
little booms of Borah and the rest
would wither. If it does not, the re-
publican party will continue to drift
along with Job lot of uninspiring
candidates still hunting for a man.
unless the election of 1914 should
produce man for it.

Corvallis. Ore, July 20, 1914.
Editor OF the East oregonian.-
Your editorial comments upon my re-
cent address at Albany are based up
on Misrepresentation. shall esteem
IT a favor II you VIII kindly publish
the exact words spoken upon the
veto. as taken by an expert steno-
grapher. which are as follows:
'In Brownsville my honorable OPP
ponent stated that in the last twelve
years, under a democratic governor
with. a republican legislature, there
were two hundred bills vetoed, saw
ing the state one million dollars, or
over. But, my friends, there is
something peculiar about that. De-
spite that condition our taxes have
gradually increased under that kind
OF administration. believe in the
veto, the single item veto. and IL the
next Legislature decides TO submit II
TO the people for a constitutional am
endment II will receive my hearty ap-
proyal. Anything that we can do We
should do to make our government
better and sounder and more econom-
ical We must work In harmony with
our legislature and not at cross pur-
poses. There has been a tendency
for the Legislature to put the COVER
nor in hole and the governor to put
the legislature in the hole. We want
them both TO work together In
mony. When we do that we will
solve this question Of appropriations.
We will get down TO good. sound.
sane basis. There will be no log roll
ing or jokers in bills"
All desire is fair play In this
campaign
Very truly yours.
