FLOUR DROPS
TWENTY CENTS

All over the northwest today,
patent flour decreased 20 cents
a barrel in cost.
This was due to drop In the
price of wheat, which in turn was
due to the belief of brokers that
soon the wheat crop of Russia
will be opened to the world.
Sperry's mill here announced
the drop in its Olympic brand,
and Portland and Seattle firms
also noted the change. The sell
ing price is $3.50 a barrel.

Takes Is Suits to Make
Broadway Lady Killer

Osborne" came forward and said
he was the young man who had
really asked Miss Tanner to mary
him. He confessed to having ac-
companied her one night to a
hotel in Plainfield, N. j., the main
charge the young woman had
made against the real Osborne.
Then Osborne disappeared
and now Miss Tanner, who n
only %, has confessed that
she was confused
she REALLY thought her
former sutton looked like At
torney Osborne and that
when she finally discovered
her mistake she was ''afraid
to confess"
But United States Attorney
Marshall. who is conducting the
case Attorney Osborne has
brought against Miss Tanner on
the charge of having used the
mails to defraud (because she
wrote many letters to him at the
New York Athletic club. demand
ing "restitution") is not satisfied.
Marshall alleges there is big
conspiracy behind the Casa
conspiracy to hurt Attorney Os-
borne.
That is the reason United
States officers have just seized
all the elegant effects in solver
Osborne's" late boarding place;
they hope to locate him soon.
They feel 1t would be interesting
to compare Miss Tanner - con-
fessions' with the stories this
Boardway lady-killer might re-
veal!
Meanwhile Broadway waits!

University OF Wisconsin have been
studying the spelling and vocabuIaries

Among the analyses made by these
professors is that relating to sex in

words used in private correspondence
they find that the following classes OF
words are dominant in the letters OF
women:
Articles of food and terms relating

on Feb. 2, 1913, Mrs. Madeline Her

Helen Taylor was almost instantly
killed by a bomb contained in a large

three inches of fuse visible and started
for the doorway. He tried to rub the
fuse out, and failing in that he jerked
the insulated fuse from its fastening
in the heart of the explosive. The
bomb consisted of two pounds of
mixed black and smokeless powder
and about 30 loaded cartridges.
O'COnnOr's q%uickness and pluck
probably saved the lives of Magistrate
John Campbell, his wife, and many
spectators in the Our room. The
placer of the bomb was never detected.
This bomb was connected in the
minds of the police with four others
of the same year. on Feb 6 an un-
exploded bomb had been fOund in the

In this connection also should be
mentioned the premature explosion of

which wrecked a tenement. killed two
men and a woman high in Anarchist
councils. and injured several other
persons.
The anarchists attempted to give a
magnificent funeral for these mar

With this revelation of anarchist
activities the police made elaborate
preparations TO trap tie malcOntents.
on March > of this year they seized
two young anarchists, Frank Abarno

setting off a second bomb in St. Pat

tons. Enormous rania transit pro-

workmen are under way, besides the
countless other construction jobs. most
of which involve blasting into the

Italian labOrers can easily steal u

tractor for whom they are working.
Probably 90 per cent of bomb crimes
are committed by Italians. the victims
usually being other Italians.
The police have never been able to
persuade Italians upon whom the
blackmailers of their own race have
set their mark to cooperate in thwart-
ing the gangs.

There have been several crimes Of
this character in the Washington

Anarchist bombs are usually more

Only an insignificant percentage OF
bomb crimes result in arrests and

outrages. The bomb itself is almost
