New York Senate Votes to Sustain Charge of Ac cepting Bribe. Wednesday s ror 1 X Those fortunate enough to come to our store Wednesday will en joy a selection of real bargains no other house could improve upon CONGER STAYS TO FIGHT J - " , 2 i - 1 i " j ' - V ! I - N IJcforc Vote Is Taken by Colleagues, Accused lember Gives Vp His ' Seat and JJcIeases Self From Jurisdiction of Legislature. ALBAN'T, N. Y., March 20. Jotham P. -Mids went to his home in Norwich to night, a private citizen, branded as a bribe-taker by his former colleagues in the Senate, and by his own act no loneer a member of that body. .Senator Conner, who filed the charges against Allds, stayed here to npht. The Senate vindicated Conner today when It voted, 40 to 9, that the charges had been sustained by" the evidence brought before it. Even Conger's enemies admit he is a fighter, and the belief is expressed that ho will oppose any attempt to drive 'him out of office as vigorously and with as free an expenditure of money as he attacked AUds. Before the vote was taken in the Senate this morning. Allds resjljfned ids position in that body, thereby releasing himself from the jurisdiction of that body. Tlie question of what shall he done with Senator Cpnger. Allds' accuser, Ktill remains to be setth-d. The resignation of Senator Allds is taken to amount to a tacit acknowledg ment of guilt, since it was announced re cently that if he resigned as a member . of the State Senate, it would be in effect A plea of participation In the bribe-taking of which he was accused by Senator Benn Conger, who himself stated that lie had paid bribe money to Allds. "Wholesale corruption has been revealed since the opening of the investigation of the charges againxt Allds. and Xew York Republicans have been placed in the un enviable position of seeing some of their leaders besmirched in the graft scandals. STATE TAKES ROCK PLANT Convicts to Operate Crusher and. Quarry Near Chehalis. CHEHAUS, Wash.. March 29. Spe cial.) H. T. Jones and A. E. Cagwin, of the State Board of Control, returned last night from an inspection of the rock quarry and crushing plant at Mcskill, 12 miles west of Chehalis, on the South Bend branch. They were ac companied by M. H. Gilliam, mining engineer. Representative J. E. Leonard, J. C. Bush, Secretary Merrell, of the Citizens' Club, and County Commission er C. D. Young. As a result of the visit, arrange ments were perfected for the state to take over the" quarry and crushing plant at once. Mr. Gilliam will be in charge. Temporarily the plant will con tinue to be operated by the county's prisoners, but within about three weeks It is expected to send state convicts here. About 30 convicts will be put on the job when the plant is in running or der. The taking over of the quarry by the state is regarded favorably locally, as it will be possible to get the benefit of the-reduced freight rate on stone, and it is figured that once the plant is fully under way the price of crushed rock will be reduced from about $1.50 a yard to about 80 or 85 cents on shipments de livered at Chehalis. PARSON IS AFTER SALOON Seaside .Minister Files Affidavit Al leging Opening of Beach. Lid. SKASIDB, Or.. March 29. (Special.) Rev. J. J. Patton today filed with Mayor Ifenningor a sworn statement of A. II. Ruthraff regarding the alleged sale of liquor in the Antlers Saloon at Seaside Sunday. March 20. Mr. Patton at the same time declared that as Marshal Ct zinger had denied being in front of the bar at the time he would make no ob jection if he was removed. Mayor Henninger announced tonight that he would order an. investigation. However, he made no secret of the fact lliat he is dissatisfied with the nature of the evidence. "I don't know 'whether it is sufficient to convict the saloon," he said, "but I do know it is quite sufficient for us to prosecute Ruthraff. That would seem to be our best step." Both the Mayor and Council believe there is ground for some of Mr. Patton's charges, but declare his manner of mak ing them has alienated much support that would otherwise have been accorded him.

HOME BLANK TO MILLER Football Player Doesn't Recognize Sister, Reads With Difficulty. DETROIT, March 29. Joy Miller, the University of Michigan football star, who disappeared last January, is home again, but home has' not restored his memory of the past. He recollects nothing prior to the time he met in Chicago a party of young men bound for Manitoba to take up land. He cast his lot with them, but instead of try ing to locate land he wandered from one city to another in the Northwest. Not until yesterday, however, did he realize that his parents were more than people he had met somewhere. He failed to recognize his sister. His abil ity to read has partially left him. Mr. Miller would not permit anyone to interview his son. He plans to re store his memory by keeping the boy in company with relatives and friends whom he knew well. Specialists will be brought into consultation. CAMERA TO CATCH COMET s ' ' -V rs- , ljfr v. ; -..,: .... . 'vV-:.,ai - JF SJflfSf ' - : . $ CMS known Pittsburg astronomer, who told today of having the camera, said that on May 18 the head of the comet would cross the solar disk and the phenomena would be plainly visible in the Pacific Ocean. It will take the comet but 58 min utes, he said to cross the sun's face, and at the time it would be possible to determine how much solid matter is in the comet's nucleus, for all solid matter, ten miles in diameter, would be indicated by shadow spots against the sun's background. The comet on that day will be but 15.000,000 miles away from the earth, and consequently will be brighter than at any other time. The experiments in Honolulu are being made by the American Astronomical and Astrophysical Society. DISC IX ERCPTIOS Verkes Professor Accounts for Re cent Auroral Displays. CHICAGO, March 29. Strange erup tions have appeared on the sun, accord ing to a statement made yesterday by Professor Edwin B. Frost, director of the Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay, "Wis. "The eruptions shoot from the sur face of the sun like- skyrockets," said Professor Frost. "They are easily vis ible at the edge of the disk. One of them shot out to a length of 150,000 miles, as nearly as we could estimate. It then detached Itself from the main body and sped through space. Before it disappeared it had reached a dis tance from the sun of about 250,000 miles. The eruptions probably are caused by the release of pressure on some particular spot of the sun." Professor Frost said the disturbances probably accounted for the recent bril liant auroral displays. SERIVGE IS BETTERED EXPERIENCED 3IEX PUT CHARGE OF INDIANS. IN Honolulu Observation Will Deter mine Extent of Solid Matter. " PITTSBURG, -larch 29. A special astronomical camera has been set up at Honolulu, which is expected to catch some interesting pictures of Halley's comet when on May IS- it completes Its 3,100,000,000-mile trip around the sun and begins a similar Journey all over again.

Advices received from "Washington suggest many changes- in the plan for administering the affairs on the Indian reservations, and promise many important improvements in the service. The Indian Commissioner has selected nine experienced field men who will oc cupy positions in his cabinet, recently or ganized for the betterment of the Indian service. N. B. Pears, now supervisor of Indian schools, will have charge of all Indian schools. Mr. Pears has been su perintendent of the Haskell Institute, at Haskell, Kan. "W. E. Johnson will direct the work of suppressing the liquor traffic on the Indian reservations; Dr. Joseph H. Mur phy will have charge of all hospitals and sanitation on the reservations; W. R. Logan, formerly superintendent of the Fort Belknap reservation, in Montana, will have charge of all Indian industries, farming operations and allotments. There will also be supervisors selected for the departments of irrigation, Indian foregt reserves. Indian employment, purchases of supplies for the various reservations and buildings and construction. The educational work has been divided into four districts, the fourth district con sisting of Oregon. Washington, Idaho and Montana, which will be under the per sonal supervision of O. H. Lipps, former agent at Fort Lapwai, but who is now in temporary charge of the five civilized tribes at Muskogee, Okla. Mr. Upps will probably be relieved at Muskogee within the next few weeks and will return to Lewiston, where he will establish head quarters for directing the work in this district. One of the first schools to be visited will be the Chemawa school, near Salem, after which a regular itinerary for cov ering the entire district will be followed. There are 20 schools in the fourth dis trict, all of which are reservation schools with the exception of Chemawa and the Fort Shaw school, in Montana. There are about 6000 Indian children of school age on the reservations of this, district and an Indian population of approximately 30,000. The general outline of plans for the reorganized administration suggests a purpose of the department to withdraw its support from the large non-reservation schools and give it to the small day and reservation boarding schools.

HIS WIFE IS HIT TWICE Two Young Women Rush to Her Aid " and In Spite of Desperate and -Vicious Resistance Overpower 3Ian He Cuts His Throat. MARSHFIELD, ' Or., March 29. (Spe cial.) Fighting for their lives with a North Inlet rancher, thought sud denly to have gone insane, two young w;omen this morning succeeded in wresting away hl gun and saving themselves, but riot before each had been viciously attacked and the man's wife had received two bullets. William Peterson arose this morning and went to the kitchen, where his Wife was making a fire in the stove. A once he began shooting, two bul lets striking the woman. His daughter. Miss Amanda Peterson, aged 20, and a girl friend who was staying with her. Miss Bessie Hope, aged 18, rushed into the kitchen at the sound of the firing and began a struggle with the frenzied man. He beat them off, but they went at him again and finally overpowered him in spite of his savage resistance. Miss Peterson was struck on the head with the revolver, sustaining a ghastly scalp wound, and Miss Hope was choked al most insensible.. After getting the gun the young women threw it away, and Peterson left the house. Later he was found in the barn with his throat cut. Peterson is said to have become greatly angered over some of his busi ness affairs lately, and this is thought to have caused his mind to give way. He is the father of a large family, and has grown sons and daughters living in this vicinity. The family is well known. Mrs. Peterson's condition is serious, but it is believed she will recover. The family lives far up North Inlet and officers and medical assistance could not get to the place until high tide th.s afternoon. Neighbors cared for the in jured persons, however.

Why You Should Invest in OTHE LLO Going to a new country requires faith in the resources of that country. 'After successfully testing the conditions of soil, healthfulness of climate, etc., we no longer walk by faith, but by sight. Such is now our attitude in regard to the territory contiguous to Othello. "We have seen immense wheat crops which many claim to be the only crop successfully grown here. "We have also grown fruit of as fine texture, flavor and color as seen elsewhere. And this without irrigation. Our home-grown potatoes cannot be surpassed, andmelons delicious enough to tempt an epicure. We have fattened hogs on home-grown corn, and have en joyed our own popcorn. We have proved the fertility of the soil. These prod ucts were all of excellent quality. More moisture would bring a more abundant yield. Irrigation is surely coming our way. A vast change in our landscape , will be noted during the next few years. Sagebrush plains were converted into immense wheat fields, and these in turn will give place to large orchard tracts. Poultry is grown with less care than in many localities. Wheat is an ideal egg-producing food. The business is remunerative. Our climate is equable. In Summer, even though the thermometer may reg ister a rather high degree, there is almost invariably a breeze which prevents the sultry heat of many places. We know nothing of the heavy, moisture-laden air which makes breathing difficult. Neither mold nor mildew annoy us during the heated period. Our Winters are mild. We have glimpses of mountain scenery from several different ranges and snow-capped Rainier is plainly seen when the air is clear. We have an intelligent, sociable, kindly class of people. Our school and church privileges are good. There are opportunities here that are unknown in the East and many parts of the West. They far surpass the disadvantages we encounter. Seeing is believing. Come and see. Come and help us develop more .fully this, the best part of the best state in the Union. MRS. ADA PRICE LEE.
