There was also a ring with a ruby
setting. the stone a carat In weight.

A man who had been working
Nound Kerby was suspected OF the
robbery. and Chief McLane took him
into custody when he arrived in this
city Thursday and searched his be-
longings, but could find none of the
missing property. This man, with a
companion. left Thursday morning
for the north. and At Roseburg they
were again searched by officers. still
without results. On the theory that

jewels to themselves or to pals In

Now. you women. help your men,"
The spirit seemed to creep into the
women's blood. Many OF them with
babies In arms rushed out Of the hall.
They seized bricks, chunks Of asphalt
--anything--and went ahead. They
fought like mad. Oficers engaged In
quieting them said that the crowd
was the worst they ever had encoun-

TIMBER OWNERS
SEEK REDUCTION
4 OF ASSESSMENT

Directing to the value placed upon
their timber holdings In Josephine
county by the assessor and the board
OF equalization, three owners OF tim
Der lands. through e. II. Richard, at
torney. have started proceedings to
have the assessment reduced. The
parties to the action are Seymour H.
Bell. the Hewitt Land Company, and
Chas. s. Dickinson. trustee. The
holdings Of the parties represent 25
or 80 separate tracts.
In making the assessment against
the property, the timber was valued
by the board Of equalization at 81 per
N upon the estimate OF merchantable
timber upon the land. this figure in
cluding the Douglas FIR and the cedar.
Practically all the timber Is classi-
ied as FIR. In the complaint filed by
Attorney Richard for his clients, It
Is set forth that the pine should not
be assessed at more than 81. while
ir and cedar should not be valued for
assessment purposes at to exceed 80
cents per N. Upon this basis. the
value Of the holdings represented
would be only about one-third that
placed upon It BY the assessor and the
board Of equalization. the reduction
being governed by the kind and
amount OF timber. Az assessments
are supposedly based upon the cash
valuation Of properties. the county
will defend itself by maintaining that
81 per NJ is a reasonable cash valua-
ton to place upon the timber Of the
parties to the action.

New York. Oct. s.--Ambassa6or
Gerard, according to the Evening
Post this afternoon, is bringing to
President Wilson an application from
Germany for the president to use his
good Offices in suing for peace. The
Posts article says:
Germany has definitely decided to
apply to President Wilson to use his
good Offices in suing for peace with
the allies. This was learned today
from sources In a position to hare
absolutely Trustworthy Information
on these matters.
1T is understood that Ambassador
James w. Gerard. who is ON his way
over here. will lay the kaiser's ~
quest before President Wilson With
in q week. Important banking inter
ests in close touch with GermaAy's
plans pointed out today that Z great
many nations were involved In the
European conflict. and hence meikzs
might elapse before peace would bs
finally contaminated. even In the
event, that President Wilson inter
vened as mediator.
Ambassador Gerard Is on board
the steamship Frederick VIII. which
left from the other side last Sunday,
and is due here. according to oflces
Of the line. probably on Tuesday next.
"Corroboration Of the statement
from other sources ON this side Of the
water which might be described -
highest authority came this after
noon to substantiate the belief in Nm
ancial circles.
"The main statement. made with
great positiveness today. tends to con-
firm the rumors that have been aaoat
for months.
1T is generally believed that, In
view of recent events Of the war. ths
terms the Teutonic empires would
agree to would be much moro rea-
sonable than those which have been
suggested from time to time from
Berlin as a basis for ending the con-
fict."
