R & N. Changes in Staff Effective today. J. F. MYER FINANCIAL MAN Xomlnal Assistant Treasurer to Be Relieved", and; S. F. Herlng Leaves Express Department to Be come Car Service Agent. Two new officials will assume office with the O..W. R. & N, Company at the beginning of the new fiscal year today. They are J. F. Myer as assistant treasurer and 8. F, Herlng aa car serv ice agent. Mr, Myer will take active charge of "X S. F1. Herring, New Car Service Agent for the O.-W, R. sfc . Company, the company's finances in Portland and will relieve R. Lea Barnes, vioe-presl-dent of the United States National juank, whose ofnee of assistant treas urer has been only nominal and held for convenience, inasmuch as the O.-W. R. N. Company banks at the United StaSca National. Gn acoount of the constantly increas ing business the appointment of a treasury official, who can devote his entire time to the work, became neces sary. Mr, Myer, who, for the last few years, has been assistant general man ager of the company, in charge of car service, was selected. He probably will have his ornca on the second noov of the Wells-Fargo building, convenient to that of the paymaster. With this change Mr. Herlng was chosen to succeed to Mr. Myer's former duties, but the title of the office has been changed to that of car service agent, which more nearly desoribes its actual duties. Mr. Hering heretofore has been the district agent in Portland for the Pa cific Fruit Express, which is the re frigerator line of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific systems. He has been engaged in that work for the last 17 years. His first service was with the old Armour refrigerator line, in which he rose gradually through vafious pa. sitions of increasing responsibility. bix years ago when the Harriman lines established their own refrigerator service he was chosen district agent. His duties there made him an expert in car service. He is thoroughly fa miliar with the entire Northwestern territory and with the particular needs of each individual section. A few years ago he could have had a promotion to another city, but pre ferred ta remain in Portland, where he has lived for many years. O. B. Hughes, chief -clerk in Mr. Hering's offiee, has been appointed agent ror the pacinc Fruit Express in Portland pending the appointment of a district agent to succeed Mr, Hering. Mr. Hughes has been in his present position for two years and in the Port land office for nearly three years.

LA FRANCE IS INDICTED WIFE IS MADE PRINCIPAL IN INSURANCE SWINDLE; Mystery of Body Substituted StUl Unsolved j Prisoner Thought to Fear Murder Charge. The grand iury took up yesterday consideration of the cases of J. C. Da France and Emelie Da France, h's wife, who were arrested at Coquille, Or., af ter a long chase a few months ago, on a charge of swindling an insurance company and two fraternal Insurance organizations out of- $15,000, Indict, ments eharging them with obtaining money under false pretenses, the woman as a principal, for it was she who col lected after her husband's supposed death, and the man as an accessory, are expeated to be reported. The District Attorney's office is as far at sea as ever as to where La France obtained the body which was substituted for his own on the upper reaches of the Clackamas River. He has told several of what District At. tomey Evans calls "wild-goose "stories,"' but all have contained loopholes through which their untruth .was es tablished. For instance, La France identified two undertakers' assistants employed in a "West Side morgue and stated that he knew the corpse had been secured from that establishment, though where it came from originally he did not know. The two men in. question were taken to the County Jail by Frank Beatty, special investigator for the District At torney's office. One of them was held evernight, while the second, a man of family, was allowed to go. The next day further investigation left little doubt of the falsity of La France's story. Both were allowed to go and no record of any kind of their having been, tn eustody was made. It Is believed by Mr. Evans that La France Is in terror of being charged with murder and that the various con- wmm DIAMONDS? VKftifH Yes. We Sell Thetn They are our one great specialty.
