Mysterious Axe Drills Grove For Powerful Charge of Dynamite While splitting wood for her break-, fast ftro, Mrs. Jmuoa Curron dlseov ! erod four dynamite caps In one of tin 1 sticks with an explosive pressure ofi BOO pounds to the square Inch bottled ; up within each one of them. I Were that stick used for fire wood Monday nu ruing. It is probable that ; the entire house would have been blown Into bits and that the family would have been killed by the force of the explosion. Though some one must have split open the stick and de liberately placed the caps alone the wedge, the police have been unable to account for any reason that would have lead a person to net out of his way to endanger the lives of the fam ily and to have caused an explosion of , this kind. The caps are those used in construc tion work to touch off vast chargs c.' dynamite and may be exploded either, by contact or by excessive heut. WORK SOON TO START ON COST OF CONSTRUCTION OF LINE TO CITY FROM HILLS DATA TO BE CAREFULLY CHECKED Council Will Know Down to Fraction of a Cent What Work Will Take and Whether it Can Be Done at Figures Given D. C. Henney, consulting engineer of the Vnited States government aud the final resort on all matters of en gineering in which the federal depart ments are interested, begins Monday to check over the report of H. A. Rands on the possibility of getting water from the sou'ii fork of the Clackamas. The city council has appropriated $300 to pay the expenses of the engi neer during the time that he Is at work on the project He expects to spend two or three days on the route that has been suggested by tne preliminary sur vey and will then take the figures that Mr. Rands has made and will check them over carefully. He will, j from the data that he collects, deter- J mine whether or not the city can con-, struct the line for the estimated cost j of the project. The report that he has to offer after all of the work Is done will be submit ted to the city council. From the fig ures that he prepares, the council will be able to determine whether it should i call the special election for the peopl" to vote on the proposed bond issue of $300,000 for the line. j In his report, Mr. Rands goes Into all of the details of the construction. He figures that the line can be built for $288,00 and that the best quality of i pipe can be used to bring the water j down from the point of intake on the! south fork to the city's mains in the town. He also plans the construction of a reservoir and the possible reser- j vation of a week's supply of water for j emergencies in case of a damaging, break in the pipe. j All of these statements, together j with the plans and specifications for the line, the estimated cost of the ex cavation and other figures that are in the keping of the engineer will be ! thoroughly checked by the engineer of . the government before the report Is ' made to the city council. i OF GRAFT IN OFFICE PORTLAND, Jan. 17. Joseph F. was indited "V. morning by tne ; grand Jury on a charge of extorting $100 from the Pearson-Page company, 1 commission merchants, when Singer held the position of additional market Inspector under Mayor A. G. Rush light. The indictment says that Sing er "threatened to injure the property of another with intent thereby to ex tort pecuniary advantage." The Indictment of Singer was the sole result of an investigation cover ing many days, In which 4.1 mitnesses appeared before the grand Jury, and which Btarted when Harry Harris, stated, durirg his trial for vagrancy, that a plan had been laid to collect graft in the underworld, the graft to amount to $150,000. While Harris ap- peareo inree limes oeiore uie grauu jury and made bis last appearance just before the indictment was file I with Circuit Judge Morrow at 12:20 today, the Indictment was not based on the story of Harris nor did inves tigation of the Harris charge lead any where. Starting originally as an investiga tion of alleged graft among the women and parasites of the underworld, this feature of the probe ended in thin air and the net result was the Singer in dictment for alleged extortion of a Front street, commission firm. Tim Pearson, of the firm of Pear-Bon-Page & Co., was one of the wit msses. Pearson, it is said, told of giving Singer $100 as a loan after Sing er threatened to condemn certain food. Other witnesses enumerated on the in dictment were Mayor II. R. Albee, T. ii. Neuhausen and Lillie Hrown. Sing er, according to the indictment, ap peared as a witness In his own be half. For the larger part of two days Sing er was in the room with Ihe grand jury, telling his version of rumors of graft and conditions in the under world and explaining how Pearson came to lend him $100.

HENNEY READY TO STUDY PROBLEM Hv the merest accident, they were discovered before shre gathered the wood in her arms and carried Into the house to start the breakfast fire. In the same pile with the other fire wood that she had just split for the morn Ins, the stick lay with Its povverlul charge of dynamite and lis possibilit ies for creating havoc and destroying an entire family. Had not the ae that she used ae cideniallv fitted Into the same grove used bv thai mysterious axe that made the place where the caps lodged. It Is probable that Mrs. Curren and her famllv would have been killed as they sal around the breakfast tabic before leaving for the work of the day. Chief Kd Shaw is mystified by tin report that has come to him and has not been able to account for the mo live of the person who placed the charge there. KAGOSHIMA, Jan. 19. Kresh erup tions of the volcano of Sakura .lima, which caused such widespread devas tation recently, occurred today. They were accompanied by earthquakes and violent subterranean noises. The governor of Kokkaldo estimates todav that about 300.000 people of the Island of Kiushni will need relief and that about $3,500,000 will be required. Three hundred refugees from Sak ura were buried under a fallen cliff in a neighboring village today. One hundred bodies have been recovered. This new disaster is the result of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes which for a week have devastated the island of Sakura and made a wreck of this city. The eruptions and earth quakes continue but with activity sub dued. This city is rapidly recovering from the complete prostration which fol lowed the eruption of SakuraJima. Train service has been restored, and In the business districts many of the stores have been partially reopened. Th villnip nf Shlirntoki and Kaiiki. Id miles inland, suffered very seveie lv in the catastrophe. No estimate can be made of the casualties. EIGHT WITH POSSE EVERETT. Wash.. Jan. 15. Five armed men held up the Granite Falls State bank. 10 miles northeast of here today, and escaped with between Jl.'.ui) and $2im)0 after engaging in a running pistol battle with a posse of citizens The men. who were not masked, en- terer the bank shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon when the only employes in the place were J. G. Ingersoll. cash ier, and C. E. Stage, assistant cashier. On robber stood guard at the front door, while the others forced Inger-' soil and Stage Into a back room and at- j tempted to lock them in. nile tney were capturing the cashier and his as sistant. Mrs. Stella Forest started to enter the bank but was driven away by the man on guard. I i SALEM. Ore., Jan. 15 Governor ! West today called upon Attorney Gen i eral Crawford to recover from the at : torney general's brother in law, E. H. - Watson, $500 paid to Watson in 1907 ! for legal services rendered the state. The money waB paid to Watson by the state land board upon the urgent rec- i ommendation of Crawford. I "In view of the recent decision of . the supreme court holding all such P'9 ? in his letter to the attroney general "I would respectfully request that steps be taken by your office, through the courts or otherwise, to recover the Baid amount that it may be returned to the state treasury." E HI E NAGASAKI, Japan, Jan. 15. Marine i ,r,..n the .lananese naval aniiadron were In charge at Kagosbima today. Though Sakurajirna was Ht ill In vio lent eruption, It was believed the dan ger on the main island was over. lioafs had even touched on the shore ol Sakura, where, to their amazement, the bluejackets found .'100 men, women and children alive. All v." re dreadful ly burned and several had gone insane from the horror of their experience. They had hidden in a cave during the worst of the volcano's outbreak. From none of the Sakura survivors could a connected account be obtained of the disaster. They were too much broken by what they had gone through. Several, It was said, would die Among them, however, were several govern ment officials who, true to their dutie?, to the last, had saved their office rec ords through everything. One had clung to a picture of the mikado.

E. Culavan. coun ty superintendent of schools, this year. ' He plans to emphasize the Juvenile department this time. Twice as many local fairs will be planned as were prepared before the county fair ot P.M3 and the work will lv more rigid ly examined before It Is allowed to take up room among the .lispla.vs. Weed Out Cost Ones The object of this Is to weed out the best exhibits from all parts of the county and send them to the annual event at t'anby. The best showing made there will then be sent to Sa lent for the state exhibits and the county proposes to take everything ta the wav of prises that may be In sight. Several of the district fairs that had been planned by the schools last year were postponed for one reason or another and the superintendent has in mind plans for additional exhibits lu those districts that did little or no work at that time. Stimulate Interest. Stimulated by the Interest that natu rally hangs around a local fair, the superintendent thinks the children will produce more and better work than if all were contributing to one central display. He believes that the Juven ile department is an Important fea ture of the exhibit that the county makes and thinks that the schools should take a more decided Interest lu this than they have In the past. More Fairs. In order to work out his plans to stimulate the real among the students, he proposes to have as many fairs In the various districts as possible and to at least double those of the past year. In this wav. the children will be com peting against each other will have the added zest and they i of closer competition than they would have were they to believe that the only j competitors were those In some other! district of the county whom they did not know.

I i SALEM, Ore., Jan. Ifl Covernor I West today gave Attorney funeral : Crawford the short and ugly word, 1,1 i replying to an interview issu'-d from Eugene by the attorney general, in which the latter declared that two or three years ai?o. 50.000 acres of Indem nity school land base was used in so. lecting worthless alkali lands in the vicinity of Albert and Summer Lakes. 'Jn making this statement the at torney general has proven himself to be an unmitigated, if not a malicious liar," declared the governor, "for h was in possession of all the facts long before making any statement in refer ence thereto, as will be shown by the copy of a letter sent him by the clerk of the state board ,Ortnb r 21, IftlS." According to this letter the original selection of Ihe list covered :j:;7:i acre it being believed that the amount would be necessary for the syndicate which desired a lease in operating a plant in extracting the salts from the lakes. Afterwards, however, the com pany changed Its planB and the selec tions were withdrawn save as to 2i acres along the shores of Albert Lake, and 302 acres along the shore of Sum mer lke. The records of the land office bear out the letter, and the sug g"Mion is made by those ronversan' with them, that the attorney genera' Intended to say in his Interview that tne indemnity base, valued at about $.10,000, was used In selecting lanO i along the lages Instead of indemnity base covering .10,000 acres.
