PORTLANDMILKIS Two Men Known to HaveaFrequenl ed Neighborhood of Liquor Store Trior to Killing and Pair Maj B Same. Arrests which are expected to lead to the clearing tip of the murder of W. V. fhappel and William Harvey In a saloon at Twnty-nwnd and Nicolal streets last Monday night, were made yesterday af:ernoon when Patrolman West took to th pollc atatlno Robert Leach, an Kngllsh miner, and Magnus Myhre. a Norwegian tailor. The latter Is Indis putably Identified as tha stranger who was noticed by many persons frequent Ins; tho rlclnlEy of tha saloon where the robbery occurred, for several days before t he crime, lie had In his pocket a blue handkerchief S'irii as was uct by the murderer as a mask, and wore a llght eolored rap such a the highwayman wore. Descriptions of the two men seen about tho saloon had been jrtven out to all patrolmen, and they aero Instructed to keep a sharp lookout for anyone tally Ins; with them. Mihre Scon Before. tvt had seen .Myhre In the Slabtown district prior to the hold-up, and when he encountered him yesterday afternoon he was struck by his resemblance to the robber. At the time of the arrest. Mvhre and Leach were seated at a tableMn the back part of the saloon of Chris Mont. US North Twenty-hrst street, near the scene of Monday night's crime. They were drtnklna beer and engnglnff In whispered conversation. West. In full uniform, walked tip to t'tem and placed them under arrest They made no Inquiry as to the charge and showed no surprise. They were booked on a charge of vagrancy, and were turned over to Detectives Endlcott and Sloan, who have charge of the mur der case. The supposed robber who had been seen around the saloon before Monday right had been described to the police as of sandy complexion, wearing a red' dish mustache and a light cap, and bav ins; a boll on tne side of his neck. All these Identifying marks are possessed by Myhre. and It Is considered established beyond a doubt that he Is the man. Little Evidence Against Leach. Less convincing is the case against Xach. but his presence In the company of Myhre Is taken to Indicate that, if the latter Is the highwayman. Leach is thought to hare been the man who stood at the door of the saloon and guarded It while his partner was attempting to rob those Inside. Immediately after tha capture of the two suspects. Kndlcott and Sloan called In all the witnesses tiiey could find, and submitted the prisoners to their Inspec tion. William Lacy, of 57 Sherlock street, who was la the saloon at the time f the murders, said that Myhre bora a strong resemblance to the man who did the shooting, allowing for the fact that he was masked. William Davis, living at the foot of Twenty-filth street, and Martin Futku confirmed the state ment of the likeness. The two suspects hate been sleeping on cots at the Portland Commons, and had no belongings which throw any light noon the case except the blue handker chief and the cap. They maintain abso lute dental of knowledge of the crime. Witnesses Are Excited. The excitement of the witnesses at tha time of the murder makes satisfactory Identification difficult, and Detectives Kn dlcott and Sloan refrain from saying at this time that they have the right men. They will be held on the vagrancy charge until the evidence against them can be thoroushly sifted. Karly yesterday morning Detectives Coleman and Snow arrested Frank Oley as he was about to leave the city, upon suspicion of being the murderer. He bears a general resembln to the want ed man. and Is being held for lnvet?ga tlon. The fact that a partner of the murderer held the door while he was Inside was established yesterday by Patrolman Hen son, who secured material witnesses to the case and procured a fair description of the second man. Vagrants rounded up In the North End are being subjected to the closest scru tiny at the morning show-up" and are rloaely questioned by the detectives. Orders remain In force to allow no Idle and suspicious character to remain at large. CLAM DIGGERS STRIKE ON Men' Demand for Increase In Pay for Work Is Refused.

Tha rttr has 144 factories, employing W7.1tf4 nan. state bacteriologist, before the Port land Consumer's League yesterday after noon In the convention hall of the Com mercial Club. Before the meetlnf he had received a dozen samples of milk bought by members of Uio leaguo for analysis to determine the presence of dangerous germs. He discoursed, after reading his report, upon the results of his examina tion and arrived at the conclusion that the condition ot the milk of Portland, so far as lto effect upon human health waa concerned, is bad. The occasion ' was the annual meeting of the League, which has for Us purpose the amelioration of conditions of the wage-earning class of women and girls and proper safeguards, for -the sale of foods for the family. So mo Germs Permissible. The speaker declared that a certain amount of germs were permissible In t milk and that no milk was without a cer tain number. Some states, he declared, permit the existence of 200.000 per cubic centimeter and when the number exceeds that the milk waa condemned aa unfit for human consumption. In speaking of the examinations which he bad made of the milk submitted he said that it was with regret that he found so many of the samples unworthy of being consumed In any family. He found in several cases numerous germs of the tubercular var iety, but the most prevalent were the streptococci." This germ is produced by an udder difficulty and has a baneful effect- The speaker gave the names of the dairies from which he found the most serious condition of germs and specified the Washington . Creamery, the Carey Sanitary Creamery, the Rose City Dairy and Hail e wood Creamery as having the worst samples of t&osa which be exam ined. He disclaimed any connection with the purchase of the samples and gave no opinion as to where they were secured or how. He said that he merely rec'ted the fact ttut the bottUs when turned over to him bore the labels as indicated. Whle Professor Pernon's discourse was technical and replete with scientific terms, housewives, who compose the membership of the League, listened with close attention end plied him with ques tions as to the dairies which he regarded aa good and those which he regarded as bad. They manifested more interest in the names of the dairies than the names of the bacJll which infested the nulk. Lacteal Acid Germ Harmless. He explained that the lactic acid germ was not harmful and waa quite necessary In the production of cheese, and that It did not propagate except when other germs first made their ap pearance to produce the acid condition. Dr. Calvin S. White spoke on general conditions surrounding the consumption of milk In Portland. He said that it waa unfortunate that the dairyman felt that the Investigations and the restric tions being Imposed so aa to secure pure milk were an attack upon and an Interference with his business. As a matter of fact, said the speaker, the agitation waa bound to raise his busi ness to the dignity of a calling which would not only bring a good profit but would give it a standing in the com munity second to that of tho profes sional man. Milk will transmit some of the seri ous diseases of the human family," said Dr. White. "It has been proved that milk will convey germs which will pro duce scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid and tubercular difficulties. There Is no doubt that these diseases are communi cated and they can be traced directly to the use of milk. "The only remedy is cleanliness in the dairy, good breeding of the cattle. good food and the best of sanitary con ditions in the handling of the milk. I believe that three kinds of milk should be sold first, certified milk; second. nspected milk, and last pasteurized milk. There should be no sediment in the bottle. Refilling Is Bad Practice. "Every woman should refuse to buy milk irom wagons containing cans and bottles, for the simple reason that the refilling of bottles in transit is one of the most dangerous methods to Inocu- late the 'milk with germs. Hundreds of cases of cholera infantum are caused In this manner. In Oregon we have had examined 8012 cows. Of that num ber 130S reacted against the test of tuberculosis. Of the latter number 727 were killed. Tet today milk condi tions are bad; not so much from the lack of action by the Bureau of Ani mal Industry, as from the lack of prop er sanitary regulation In the handling of milk after It has left the cow. Re gardless of this. I regard the condition ihT cltx aa pains jnuca eeuec jjsoa to the Baby tt USUI that's what The Delineator has been in for the past three years. As a result, over two thousand homeless children have found homes and over two thousand motherly women have found sons and daughters. Our idea has been to bring together the child without a home and the home without a child. The idea has worked. In the December Delineator you will find the most interesting pages that ever appeared in any magazine, filled to the margin with photographs of these happy ' Delineator children several hundred baby faces smiling a Christmas message to yxu a- 1 .1 trom the pages ot a beauarui vnnstmas num. per ; THE DELINEAIOR Bf for Christmas Iour fa i a year ago, and with the proper spirit and agitation for a still better condi tion I expect to see Portland take the lead in the country for selling the purest milk." Reports were read from tne various officers of the league and thanks were voted to the speakers of the afternoon. Manning Will I-eavo Port Monday. It is expected that the revenue cutter Manning, which has been In the harbor during the week, will depart for Astoria Monday to remain a short time before returning here for an overhauling. Slie will take on her bunker supply In the lower harbor. Work to be done here consists largely of repairs and readjust ments in the engine-room. A large dy namo arrived yesterday and was loaded aboard the vessel to augment her elec trical equipment. FEDERAL RELIC IS, SOLD Postoffice Safe So Old, Record of It - Is Lost; A derelict of the Postoffice Depart ment wa anchored, yesterday afternoon when Kafka Bros., of Portland, pur chased an iron safe which has been In the building so long that neither the records of the local office nor the de partment at Washington lays any claim to the strong" box. It is known that the safe has been In the Postoffice building longer than the oldest employe can remember, and It is believed -to have been the first article of the kind used in Pertland by the Government. The present Postoffice was furnished with such articles from a cargo which was shipped around the Horn in the '70a. It was made by tha Damon Safe Company of Boston, but the year is not given on the emblazoned front of the relic, and there appears to be no way of ascertaining its age. When Postmaster Merrick asked per mission to sell the old depository, whose tumblers and lock are eo antiquated that they would not re9ist a modern burglar for more than five minutes, he -was in formed that the Government did not know that such a safe existed. Kafka Bros, will reduce too heavy safe to scrap iron, and expect to realize a profit on the J61.26 they Invested. The most costly medicine a few years ago was metallic gallium, which sold for $lo0.000 a pound, but radium Is now tha priceless gem of tha mineral world, selling for more than that price an ounce.
