B0oth Murder case . Be Trlea Here

Circuit Judge H. H. Belt has de-
eided to try the Booth murder ease in
this county and the case has been trans
ferred from Yamhill county to the
Polk county docket The cause of this
action IS taken by Judge Belt with the
idea of saving money for Yamhill eoun-
ty as it would cost an immense sum in
securing a jury to try the case in Me
Minnville. The ease was ordered tried
again by the supreme court on a mere
technical error. The defendants, Viii
liam Branson and MIS-. Anna Boo
have been tried three times for the
murder of Mrs. Booths S husband. The
first time the jury failed to agree ana

A NEW COAL MINE
WILL BE DEVELOPED NORTH
EAST OF oSKALooSA.

Oskaloosa is going to have a new
coal mine, one which will warrant the
installation of a railway switch. Offers
for the output have already been made
but it is probable however that the
product of the mine may be conserved
and utalized only as local mine in
which case it will supply home wants
for a period of years.
Many will recall the fuel furnished
years ago by the old Dick" Barrow
man mine northeast of town. The
coal in the new mine is much the
same character as this old time fay-
orite.
S. " Reynolds and Philoman or
Shorty" Jackson, have recently clos
ed deal through trade for the farm
of Mike Scholt's lying just northeast
of town, almost with in the city limits.
Options on the ground were secured
some time ago and Immediately fol-
lowing the services of an expert coal
man secured and Grills put at work
to explore the property. Six holes were
put down on the piece and each hole
showed over five feet of exceedingly
fine coal.
The vein is topped with an excellent
roof. The property includes about for
ty-two acres of good coal.
Works will be erected as soon as ar
rangements can be completed.

A SNOW BLOCKADE
HAS TIED UP NORTH END OF
M. & ST. L RY.

The big snow storm which has
tied up the business of the North and
Northwest touched Oskaloosa Sun
day. M. & st. l.. passenger train,
running from ST. Paul and Mime
apolis to st. Louis, was annulled
last evening on account Of the deep
SHOWS blocking the roadway at the
north end. Three snow plows work
ing out of the Twin Cities, were not
able to clear the track to permit the
operation OF passenger and freight
service.
One foot of snow is reported at
Mason City, Iowa; eighteen inches
is recorded at Albert Lea, MINI. and
much deeper SHOWS reported north
of Albert Lea, Mimi.
M. e st. L. passenger No. 2 arriv-
ing here last night from Mason City,
was completely covered with snow.
"The Snow Ball. would have been a
fitting name for No. 2.
An attempt will be made to run
trains today Passengers and
freights north bound pulled out on
scheduled time this morning. The
storm is not felt seriously until the
trains reach Albert Lea. where drift
ing snow blocks the right of way!

STOCK IS DAMAGED
FIRE IN HALPERlN'S CLOTHING
STORE SUNDAY.

Fire that originated either from
the explosion of an acetylene light
ing plant, or from a heating stove
located at the rear of the building
near the light plant, damaged the
Nate Halperin clothing store, locat-
ed at 603 High avenue west, at two
o'clock Sunday morning.
The floor, the fixtures, and much
of the stock were on fire when the
fire was discovered and were burn
ing wenh the tiremen forced their
way into the building. Canvas COW
ering the stock on the shelving was
on fire and spread the blaze to all
parts of the store. Almost every
place in the building received q
scorching from the flames.
The pipe lines of the gas lighting
system were torn from the ceiling,
indicating that an explosion of the
acetylene plant doubtlessly had TAX
en- place and wrecked the plant.
No estimate can now be given on
the damage to stock and store, for
all departments suffered from the
blaze.

POLICE CAPTAIN
ADMITS GRAFT
CHICAGO OFFICER coNFEssEs TO
STATES ATTORNEY.
FORMER CHIEF is INVOLVED
Statement Made by HeaIy Tells of
Gamblers Protection Ring. Me-
gro Alderman and Others
May Face Trial.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Capt stephen h.
Healey, former commander of the
Stanton avenue police district, indicted
Saturday as member of the city-wlde
graft and protection ring, has made q
complete confession.
His statement of conditions as he
found them in the district took stenog-
raphers for States Attorney Hoyne
four hours to record.
He links the West side graft ring
directed by BILLY" SkidmOre, Mike
de Pike" Heitler and "Tom" Costello
with the South side syndicate. con
trolled and directed by Alderman Os
car De Priest and "Teenan" Jones.
E.chief HeaIey Named.
To both cficles Captain Healy joins
the name of former Chief Charles q
Healey, and shows the alleged con
nectiOn.
In return for his confession Captain
Healy probably will be given immunity
States Attorney Hoyne told OF
Healy's confession. He said:
Captain Healy made his statement
In my Office before Assistant States At
torney Michael F. Sullivan, Michael A
Flanagan of the Third Detectiv,
agency and myself.
Gamblers Are Involved.
Ills statement, of course, completes
the cases against Oscar Dc Priest ant
Teenan Jones, head OF the negro gamb
Iers' syndicate. For four hours Cap
tain Healy told us of conditions in the
Stanton avenue district.
His statement shows the connection
of the eS-chief of police with violation
of law in that neighborhood. 1t con
meets the South side syndicate of De
Priest and Jones with the West side
syndicate of Heitler and his bunch.
"It cOrrOborates the statements anC
testimony already given by Capt. vii
liam p. O'Brien concerning the con
nection of the Office of former Chie1
of Police Healey with law violations ii
the Cottage Grove avenue district.
Victim Of Corruption?
81 think that Captain Healy consid
ers himself the victim or the creatur,
of a system of police corruption.
His statement throws more light OF
the activities of corrupt politicians ant
the competition for special privilege.
and easy money-call 1t graft If yol
like"
Question-Have you promised Cap
tain Healy immunity
Hoyne-I told Captain Healy tina
he would receive consideration. He il
a man with large family.

Sell Tons Of Fish.

McGregor, Jan. ga million
pounds of commercial fish were ship
ped from the two towns of McGregor
and North M Gregor in 1916.
One deale" handled 100000 pounds
paying the fisherman 100000.
With Prairie du Chen, Wis, com.
mission men buying in even greater
quantities from the fishermen OF this
vicinity, million pounds is probably
a very conservative estimate of the
number of fish seined from the Mis-
issippi river over stretch of few
miles north and south of McGregor
and Prairie du Chen
With all the enormous number OF
fish annually taken from the river the
fishermen say there seems to be NO
falling off in the supply. The yield
of 1915 was larger than that of either
1915 or 1914.

Washington, Jan. 23.-lnquiry has
been made of Germany as to whether
there were any Americans among the
103 neutral sailors brought in as pris-
oners of war on the German prize
Yarrowdalc for having taken pay on
armed merchantmen The inquiry
was made entirely on press reports
and not on any official information
which has come to the state depart
ment.
Officials admit that the armed ship
issue is at the root of the whole ques-
ton. The views of this country and
Germany appear widely divergent.
Each case, officials say, must be de-
cided entirely on its own merits, but
out of all the di.sculties that have
arisen recently it is believed it may
be possible to enunciate some general
rule. 1t is said, however that no
definite program has yet been drawn
up.
