Harry Ellison Nearly Falls Into Traj Laid by Chance Acquaintance Demanding $3500. Distribution of an estate of 167,001 to charity, with a deposit of 13500 by the distributer, "as a guarantee of good faith." appealed to Harry Ellison, saw mill man. as a good business venture, until he had passed into the bank where he kept his money to draw out the guarantee money. Then caution whis pered in his ear and he went on through the bank and to detective headquarters, where he told his story to Detectives" Hellyer and Howell. As a consequence, V. Vletro and Charles Curry. Italians, are at the City Jail on charges of vagrancy, alleged to be first-class bunco men. Ellison was watching street laborers at their work, when No. 1 of the pair stood alongside of him and made a few passing comments about the work, leading up thereby to the broaching of a real estate deal. He prevailed on Ellison to walk with him to his office, and they were on the way when they bumped into No. 2. He stopped and apologized, when No. 1 remarked: "You seem to be in a hurry; must have something on your mind." "So would you if you were in my place." says No. 2. thereby gliding gracefully Into a relation of how his uncle died ''37 days ago," leaving him 167,000 to give to charity. "Oh, I don't know," said No. 1, taunt ingly. "That isn't so much money. I've got a little myself." drawing out a "Michigan" or "flash-roll." "Pull out your money," he whispered to Ellison. "Don't let this fellow think he's the whole thing." Ellison Innocently did as directed and No. 3 looked crestfallen. The in tended victim remarked that be bad $3600 in the bank. Tou fellows look like, honest men, he said, "and I bave been looking for someone that I can trust. If you will draw your 13500, I will put an equal amount with It and leave It with you to distribute to charity. Then I will re munerate you on or your Investment and pay you 11000 for your trouble. Far-fetched as the proposal sounds. it went well with Ellison, probably by virtue of the convincing manner of the proponent, and he entered into the agreement. He started for his bank, agreeing to meet his new friends an hour later at Eleventh and Stark streets. Then he began pondering over the strange experience and decided to seek the advice of the detectives. Hell yer and Howell soon awakened him to the truth and arranged to follow him to the place of meeting. Following well to the rear, they went opposite ways around the block and came full upon the three men in excited consultation. The prisoners took their capture coolly. The record of Vietro was found at detective headquarters, show ing that he operated recently in Ta-coma. OFFICE WILL STAY HERE Quartermaster Corps Also to Buy Supplies In Portland. "Portland office.

W. J. cores IN CITY NEW YORK DEMOCRAT BRTAV IN CABINET. SEES Ex-Committeeman Conner Declares Tariff Will Be Revised "With Safety to Business. "As President. Governor Wilson will make good," asserted W. J. Conners, of Buffalo, ex-chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee of New York State, at the Portland yesterday. And he said it with the air and accompany ing emphasis of a man who believed exactly what he said.. "Wilson Is a good listener, followed Mr. Conners, "and he willingly accepts suggestions not only as to the forma tion of his Cabinet, but as to the gen eral policies he should adopt in his Administration. However, nobody wants to make the mistake of ap proaching the President-elect and mak ing any demands on him. As I have said, the President-elect is a good lis tener, but he refuses to take any orders from anybody." Mr. Conners agrees with other promi nent Democrats of the East that Bryan in all probability will be tendered Sec retary of State under Wilson. He is also of the opinion that the Nebrasiua will accept the proffered portfolio. 'One thing is sure, continued Mr. Conners, "Bryan undoubtedly will have the refusal of the Secretaryship, lie should bave the place and the only con sideration that will interfere with his acceptance is the possibility of his am bition yet to be President nimseii. The Democrats at the special session of Congress that has been decided upon by the President-elect win go rignt after the tariff, in keeping with their pre-election promises. It is up to them to do so. There is no use keeping the business world needlessly In suspense. The business interests of the country. already apprehensive of what a Demo cratio Congress will do on tariff legis lation, are entitled to know at the earliest possible time where they are at. "Apprehension aa to tariff legisuv tion, however, even by the Democrats, has, failed visibly to affeot bust ness conditions throughout the coun try. Far more drastic legislation on the tariff issue than even the Demo crats contemplate will be required to affect general conditions. The country is too prosperous to he affected by any reasonable revision of the tariff or any other ordinary legislation of Demo' oratic origin."
