SPEEDY JUSTICE IS DONE Judge Wolverton Passes Sentence in Five oT Doicn Cases Others WH Com Before t he Bar Next .Monday. A record was established by the Fed eral xrand Jury yesterday, when, after a session of but one day, six indictments, involving 12 defendants, were returned. . AYithout exception, the act-used pleaded Rfutlty and of the dozen, five were sen tenced. Judge Wolverton reserving sen tence on the remaining seven until next Monday. The examination "by which rheso indictments were returned was conducted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert Tinker, who established for himeelf a record for expeditious dis position of cases before the grand Jury. It has been years since a more youthful company of men appeared in the United States Court and pleaded guilty to a violation of the Federal statutes. Of the . 13 who confessed their puilt. the eldest was only 35 years of age, the youngest giving his as at 17 years. The six indictments and the disposition that was made of each case follows: Claud O. llornsberger, alias Sam A. Boot ham. charged with fraudulent use of th mails In July. 1507; pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months' im prisonment in the County Jail. Harry H. Higley. alias Sam Smith, alias Harry West, charged with sending ob scene letters through the mails; pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 1JD days in the County Jail. Fred Kuhn and John Anderson, charged with making counterfeit money, pleaded guilty and were sentenced to pay a, tine of $100 each and serve one year each t McNeils Island. Q. P. Salnave. alias Bert Salnavt, pleaded guilty to sending obscene letters through the mails and was sentenced to ISO days In the County Jail. Frank McPherson. Frank Johnson, John Simpson and Walter H. Lawrence, charged with robbing the sub-postomce. Tenth and Jefferson streets, of $17.50 in money and stamps, pleaded guilty and sentence was deferred until Monday. Merle West. Karl Hanke and Robert Ilayward. alias Del Hay ward, charged ith robbing the Hillsdale post office Feb ruary 3 last, pleaded guilty and sentence as postponed until next Monday. With the reporting of these indict ments, the Multnomah County Jail has ben delivered of all Federal prisoners. The only pw awaiting investigation is that for the fraudulent use of the mails for which the four accused men are on? on bonds. They are charged with re ceiving about $1440 worth of spurious cur rency through the United Slates malls from a Chicago curio house. Evidence has been presented jn the United States Attorney's office of al leged illegal timber land entries In the Siletz district. In the same connection a number of entrymen are charged with subornation of perjury. These alleged crimes probably will be brought before the grand jury. TRUCKS ARE CLEAR Chinese Couple Ordered Deported. After hearing the evidence in the case. Captain J. A. Sladen, United States Commissioner, sustained the application of the immigration author ities for the deportation of Chin You and Leong So. The aliens, who are alleged unlawfully to havev entered the United States, have appealed their cases and furnished cash ball for their appearance In the United States Dis trict Court. KAISER DISGRACES COUSIN Intrigue With Ex-Actress Drives Prince Albrecht From Army. EHRLIN, March 17. Prince Joachim Al brecht .. of Prussia, second cousin of Em peror William, has resigned from the army, where he held the rank of Major, and will not again be permitted to wear the German uniform. The resignation of the Prince, it is declared,' was requested by Emperor William. According to the Mittag Zeitung, Em peror William has been extremely dissat isfied with the Prince because of his con tinued relations with the Baroness Lieben berg. It was because of his interest in this woman that the Prince was pun ished 18 months ago by being sent out to join the German forces in the field In Southwest Africa. The Baroness was at one time an actress and played in the theaters of Berlin. Her maiden name was Marie Sulzer. The Prince desired to marry her, but this was Impossible because of the inequality of their social standing. Marie Sulser then obtained the title of Baroness Liebenberg through marriage with an Austrian Baron at a suburban registry office at Brixton Hill, London, she and the Baron parting at the conclu sion of the ceremony. It is understood, however, that a di vorce was never obtained. In the mean time, the Prince and the Baroness have been living, it la declared, under a trans parent incognito in Prussia. This went on until Emperor William decided to In tervene. Gets Damages for His Logs. OLYMPIA. Wash.. March 17. (Special.) Judgment for plaintiff is affirmed b? the Supreme Court In the case of W. J. Shields vs. the Doty Lumber A Shingle Company, of Lewis County. Shields had put some logs In the river which he sold to a mill down the stream. The Doty Company refused to open Its boom to let the logs through, and converted some of the logs to its own use. Tomorrow and Friday will positively be the lust days for discount on East Side as bills. Portland Gas Company. Eastern Trains Will Probably Run Today. RAVAGES OF STORM OVER Willamette Has Reached Highest Stage and Workmen Will Today Begin Work Repairing the Madison-Street Bridge. By daylight this morning, the main line of the O. R. & N. to tho cast is expected to be clear and trains will be run as usual today unless some further accident again blocks the track. Work trains and large gangs of men have been strung along the line where the washouts and landslides have occurred, and they have worked" like mad for the past two days to clear the right of way. At a late hour last night the headquar ters, offices in Portland expected the line to be open by daylight. There was another slide at mllepost 50, near .Wyeth, yesterday, afternoon,- at the same point where the original slide occurred Sunday that first blocked the line. This was cleared away, however, after about four hours' work. The worst damage to the main ' line was in the Blue Mountains east of Uma tilla. Dozens of gaps had been torn In the track by floods. Plledrlvers have been put to work at these points and everything possible is being done to clear the line and resume train service. The North Bank road will open for traffic this morning unless further dam age Is reported from points along the line. It was believed last night that all damage would have been repaired by today. Workmen will start today repairing the draw of the Madison-street bridge, which was twisted about 10 inches out of line by the tug Sampson, when that craft was swept against the bridge by the current running in the river. This work will probably, require one or two days, when it Is expected the structure will be safe for the passage of teams and streetcars. Until the bridge is repaired, only foot passengers will be allowed to cross. A steamer was kept busy yesterday pulling logs away from the jam against the upper side of the bridge, and a big hole was made in the pile of timoer. Much of the drift was washed away by the waves raised by passing steamers and the current tore out many logs during the day. Danger to the bridge is be lieved to have passed unless large qantities of drift get away and collide with the structure. The fiver at Portland Is believed to have reached its highest stage yesterday and is expected to begin to fall today. This will mean less danger to shipping on the river front and as the Columbia is coming up. back water from that stream will probably check the current running through the harbor. A slower current will help in the work of clearing away the jam of logs and drift lodged against the Madison bridge. Streams throughout the "Willamette Valley are reported to be falling and the damage from high water all over the state Is apparently over. Eastern Ore gon is having less trouble from floods than yesterday and by tonight the effects of the recent storm will have generally disappeared. Colfax Get9 Portland Mall. COLFAX. Wash., March 17. (Special.) The Palouse River overflowed Its banks In North Colfax during Monday night, flooding cellars and causing much alarm in the residence district. The water has receded at a rapid rate today. Port land's first mail since Friday reached Colfax today. High winds, with rain, snow and hail, prevailed today. TWELVE FILE DECLARATION Republicans Announce Candidacy for Various Elective Offices.

View Suggestions Made by Him In Recent Circular Letter With Favor. Formation of a plan whereby the larger cities on the Pacific Coast shall care for their vagrants, is being considered ser iously by Mayors from Lon Angeles to Vancouver. B. C. Mayor Lane, of Port land, took the initiative by presenting, in a lengthy communication to the chief executives of at least 26 municipalities, his own ideas for the solution of "the hobo problem." In reply to his recent letter, he has received a number of in teresting replies, showing that the ques tion under discussion Is one that affects every community and that it Is one that sooner or later must be settled. In reply to his communication. Mayor Lane has received letters from the heads of the municipal government of San Fran cisco, Los Angeles. Oakland and Salem. He has also had some letters from May ors of smaller places, which however, do not some into such close contact with the question. Only the larger cities, it is thought, could well be able to lend as sistance in any plan for the betterment of the "hobo" type. Mayor Lane, in his communication, out lined his Ideas as to how best to handle the vagrant classes. He severely scores the present system of driving these men from city to city, the chief desire of each municipality being only to shift Its re sponsibility to another. This, he declared, is cowardly and vicious, and of no conse quence, when it comes to permanent good results to society. Because he believes that to drive vag rants from place to place frequently makes criminals of them. Mayor Lane suggests that some kind of- an organiza tion be formed whereby each city should care for its own vagrants in some humane manner, and also suggested that to place them at work on the streets at living wages would be one means of solving the problem. Those who would not work, he said, might be handled in some way other than being driven from the city where found, and when it was necessary to de port any such characters, Mayor Lane suggested, it would be well for the authorities to forward lists of the names and some important facts about each to other city officials, so that each munici pality could the better be prepared to cope with conditions. Mayor Taylor, of San Francisco, in his letter, thanked Mayor Lane for the suggestions made, and said that he would co-operate with Portland and other cities in- such manner as here outlined. Mayor Taylor took up the matter with the Board of Supervisors and has hopes of definite results. He stated that in San Francisco many unemployed men had been put to work on the streets. Mayor Harper, of Los Angeles, replied, saying he favored the plans of Mayos Lane, and assured the latter that Los Angeles is willing to enter into the plan. He also said that in that city many are at work on the streets. Mayor Mott. of Oakland, Cal., favors Mayor Lane's plan, and says that Oak land is ready to enter into any arrange ment that may be agreed upon between cities to care for vagrants. Mayor Rodgers, of Salem, wrote that he would lend his assistance. BETTER GERMAN COLONIES Improvements in Government About to Be Inaugurated. BERLIN, March 17. Colonial Secretary Derburg made a brilliant speech today during the debate on the Colonial budget, in which he foreshadowed the organiza tion of better governments for the colon ies of Germany by introduction of a spe cial class of trained officials who would! master the native languages and the local conditions of administration.' Thus would an endeavor be made the Secretary said, to secure the confidence of aborigines and develop the resources of ' the colonies through the construction of railroads and where possible by In ducing colonization by the whites. The colonial department Intended to root out, the Secretary declared, these men among officials and settlers, who displayed a tendency, toward brutality and injustice in their dealings with the natives.

Why Not Make It Unanimous f Eugene Register. If there is no politics in the Senatorial fight .why should not the Democrats and Independents ask Chamberlain to not complicate the issue by entering the field for the same thing? Why should not Chamberlain and his friends put prin ciple above party like U'Ren did and unite on Cake to make sure of the State No. 1 principle so dear to their hearts? hearts? Ft TO REGISTER NAMES OF 21,428 VOTERS KOW OX THE IiIST. Figures of County Clerk Show That Wards 7, 9 and 10 Have Made the Best Gains. While the total number of registrations crept up about 450 yesterday, making a total at S o'clock of 2-1.428, there are still a large number of voters who have not reg istered. It would appear from the fig ures of other years that but little more .. than half of the total number of voters have placed their names on the books this 1 year. It is absolutely essential that they do so if they are to vote at the primaries, as every voter must register. It would appear from the figures given out by County Clerk Fields that the ban ner wards this year are Nos, 7, 9 and 10. These have each rolled up a total regis tration of between 2000 and 2500. While' Ward 8 now has about 3500 registrations, : the total at the city election last year ! was upwards of 45W. The wards on the ; West Side have made a very poor show-' Ing this year, compared with those on the East Side. In Ward 1 only 687 voters were registered up to Saturday night, while 1187 registered from this ward last year. In Ward 8, 836 were registered. up to last Saturday night, while the total last year was 1349. In the other West Side wards only about half the voting strength is represented. In Ward 1 is located the Eastern & Western Lumber Company, and the North Pacific Mills. When interviewed last night Walter B. Mackay, manager of the North Pacific Mill, said about 200 men were em ployed, but that he didn't think many of them had registered. He said he intended to take the matter up with the mill su perintendent today and the men will be given an opportunity to reKister. V. H. Ransom, of the Eastern & Western Lum ber Company, said 400 men were employed there, and would be given an opportunity to register.
