On his return to Portland yesterday,
Sltohael A. Myendorff. special agent of the
General Isanti Office In this city, gave out
an interview . in which he repeated tin
statements made by him In the affidavits
which he presented before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Salt Lake, and
which Involved Senator Warren and
others in a conspiracy to hold up the in
vestigation of the Wyoming coal land
cases. Myendorff aleo asserts that Sen
ator Warren had made certain misstate
ments in the interview which was snt
out from Washington yesterday in denial
of the charges made by Myendorff at the
Salt Lake investigation.
To show that Senator Warren was not
anxious for the investigation of the
Wyoming frauds to b-j expedited. Myen
dorff ateo made public a letter written to
him by the Senator in April, 1904. It was
addressed to Myendorff at Denver and
was to the effect that he did not consider
the situation urgent in the state north,
Wyoming.
The statement given out by Mr. Myen
dorff follows:
My testimony before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Salt Lake City was
devoted. In part, to a description of the
three interviews I had with Senator Francis
E. Warren, of Wyoming. The facts are all
set out in an affidavit which has become
part of the official record in the case. The
portions of this affidavit that concern them
selves with Senator Warren are the follow
ing: Statements Warren Denies.
"I met the Senator at the Oxford Hotel
in Denver some time in May or June, 1004.
At that interview Senator Warren made no
direct request that I should not prosecute
the investigation from personal considera
tions, but he pointed out the danger of mak
ing an enemy of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company In Wyoming elections and stated
that Senator Clark's re-election might be
Jeopardized if the enmity of the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company should be incurred.
"I told the Senator that an investigation
in Wyoming which should make any dlsclo
ures upon the grounds-would not take place
until after election but that I would Inves
tigate the coal land frauds to the best of
my ability on the ground in Wyoming as
soon as the election was over.
"About three months after my Interview
with Mr. Warren I wa transferred from
Denver. Colo., to Los Angeles, Cat., a dis
tance of about 1200 miles from the State
of Wyoming and away from the seat of my
operations.
"In Octobertl 1004, I was subpenaed as a
witness before the United States District
Court at Denver in another matter. On the
evening I left Denver for New York and
Washington. December 5, 1904. Senator
Warren arrived in Denver and by appoint
ment I met him at the Hotel Oxford. I In
formed the Senator t'oat I had heard that
efforts were being made to injure me offi
cially. He stated that he-was not interested
in any such movement and did not think
that Special Agent N. J. O'Brien, with whom
he. was on very friendly terms, had any
thing to do with it.
Produced Official Letters.
"The Senator then told me that the Gen
eral Land Office at Washington, D. C. would
not hurry the Wyoming coal land eases and
that of course I would not have to concern
( myself about them. He then produced from
his pocket copies of my letters addressed
to the Commissioner of the General Land
Office relative to the Wyoming cases which
I had been investigating. I Identified these
letters as copies of my letters because of
the fact that Senator Warren held these
press-copy letters In front of him upon the
table and read out of them extracts which
I recognized in substance and believe them
to have been copies of my letters to the
Commissioner."
It is the foregoing testimony' which Sen
ator Warren criticised in a newspaper In
terview sent out yesterday from Washington.
If he Is correctly quoted, he asserted that in
writing to him I described myself as being
an "old soldier of the Civil War." This
statement was never made by me and it
would have been absurd for anybody to
have made any declaration of that charac
ter. The records of the State Department
show that it was in 1863 that Abraham Lin
coln obtained my release from exile in Si
beria and that I did not arrive in this
country until ISOli, a year after the close
of the Civil War.
Furthermore, I never solicited Senator
Warren or any one else for the position of
a special agent in charge of a place in the
Consular service.
Were Not Private Letters.
Mr. Warren is also quoted as saying that
he never read to me any private letters of
mlno addressed to Commissioner Richards.
I never said he did. What I did say, how
ever, as is proved by the foregoing quota
tions from my affidavit, was, that the Sen
ator read me extracts from letters which I
had addressed to the CommisEloner of the
General Land Office. These letters were of
ficial and not private communications and
they have never been designated as "pri
vate letters" by anybody, to my knowledge,
except by Senator Warren himself. ,
Senator Warren speaks of having read
"in the Denver newspaper of Meyondorft's
attempt to commit suicide." I am surprised
that the Senator should attempt to circu
late such a ridiculous story. It Is a fact
easily susceptible of definite and substantial
proof ttiat I made no attempt to commit
suicide at Denver or at any other place, for
that matter. If the Senator believes, how
ever, that a trumped-up suicide story has
any bearing on the coal-land frauds in his
state, I will gladly furnish him any evidence
that he may need to satisfy himself on that
polnti
In my opinion there is only one statement
attributed to Senator Warren that has any
direct bearing on the coal-land investiga
tions in Wyoming. That statement Is his
assertion that I askod him how to proceed
In the matter and that he suggested that
I should follow the law and the instructions.
In that connection the following extract
from a letter written me by Mr. Warren
under date of April 4, 1004. in reply to a
lettor which I addressed to him live day
prior to that date, may indicate whether
or not the Senator wrs anxious for the In
vestigation to proceed without delay in his
state, Wyoming:
What Warren Wrote.
"Washington. J. l. April 4. 1004. Dear
Mr. Meyendorff: I know of nothing that Is
pressing in the state north of you. and
should say that It woold be Just as well
to do the work nearest to you that Is press
ing hardest. -After wc adjourn here and I
return to Wyoming I hope to see you at
some early and convenient date.
"F. E. WARREN."
As the letter was addressed to me at Den
ver, Colo., it will readily be Been to what
portion of the. map the Senator was alludLng
to when he wrote "the state north of you."
KG TO MEET
JOE G.VXS NOT AVERSE TO .AX
OTHER FIGHT.
Lightweight Champion Modestly De
mands 65 Per Cent of Stakes,
Win or Lose.
SAX FRAXCISCO. Cat., Dec. l.-(Spe-cia!.)
Joe Gans will leave for Tonopah
the first of the weeK probably Tuesday
night. The lightweight champion ar
rived from the East yesterday morning
and spent the afternoon at the Emery
ville track. Despite his reiterated asser
tion to the contrary, he was playing the
ponies and according to reports lost quite
a bundle of coin on the first four races,
but, won out on the last two.
Gans' contract calls for him to be in
Tonopah by December 10 and, after a
short visit with friends in San Francisco
and Oakland, he will go at once to the
scene of the fight. He wants another
fight with Battling Nelson and would not
be averse to a match with Jimmy Britt.
After that he will retire from the ring
and if he is still a winner will pass the
title on to some one else:
"I will give Nelson two months to come
to my terms," said Gans last night. "Just
say for mc that I am anxious to fight
him, I want to name reasonable terms.
The weight must be 133 pounds on the
day of the fight and he must give me 65
per cent of the purse, win. lose or a
draw. Tf he will give me a $12,000 bonus
I will fight him winner take all for the
balance."
"How about a fight with Jimmy Britt-"
he was asked.
"I would like to fight Britt just once
more," Joe replied, "I thint I owe that
to the San Francisco people, I prefer,
however, to meet Nelson first. As to the
fight with Kid Herman, he is hardly in
the s.me class as Nelson and I expect
to defeat him. I am In the best of shape
now and weight 138 pounds. My theatri
cal trip has been a success and I am
now to rejoin the company, January 14,
following the Nevada fight."
Gans is looking in good shape and
should have not the slightest trouble to
make the weight and toe strong at the
same time.
NOBODY WANTS CONTRACT
Government AVill Probably- Build
Bumping Lake Dam Itself.
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, , Wash
ington, Dee. 1. Owing to the. fact that
no bids were received for the construc
tion of the dam at the outlet of Bumping
Lake. Washington, in connection with the
Vakima irrigation project, the Reclama
tion Service has asked authority for con
struction of this work by force account.
As the point where this work is to be
done is very remote from the railroad,
the work evidently was not attractive to
contractors. As there seems to be no
probability that readvertising would re
sult in receiving bids and it being certain
that such readvertising would cause loss
of the entire season, it is extremely im
portant that work should begin at once
by force account. The estimated cost of
the structure is $140,000.
The recent floods in the Cascade Moun
tains in Washington did but little damage
to the work of the Reclamation Service.
The principal damage was to roads, which
had been constructed to take In heavy
machinery. The total loss probably will
not exceed $1000. The dams being con
structed at the mouths of several lakes
were but little injured, while the large
dam in the Yakima River was not in
jured at all.' The Government was ex
ceedingly fortunate. It is not expected
that the flood will cause any serious loss
of time in the progress of the Govern
ment's construction work in the Takima
Valley.

MISS FRANCES SLOSSON REALLY
IS MRS. FRANKLYN UNDERWOOD
It Was a Secret Marriage, Away Last August Pretty Little Favorite
Leaves Baker Theater Company to Join Husband. ,
THE announcement recently made by
the Baker Theater management that
Miss Frances 91osson, the popular lit
tle ingenue of that organization, would be
succeeded by. Miss Dot Seymour, has
caused many of the patrons of that play
house to wonder why it should allow so
winsome and pretty an actress to escape,
but that there was a good reason on Miss
Slosson's part has at last leaked out. It
was simply another romance of the
earthquake and fire, and Miss Slosson
has been Mrs. Franklyn Underwood ever
since last August, having been marrried
to the handsome leading man of Ye Lib
erty Theater, Oakland, since the day be
fore Bhe started to Portland. She has
now returned to Oakland to join her hue
band and the Baker company had to cast
its lines once more for an ingenue.
There was something of a romance con
nected with the courtship and marriage.
When Miss Slosson first met Mr. Under
wood he was a member of the Florence
Roberts company, and they became ac
quainted in San Francisco, she then be
ing ingenue of the Bishop stock company
MASKED
HOLD UP GROCERY
Two Highwaymen Make Haul
of $170 and Two Watches
in Sunnyside.
FIRE SHOT AT PROPRIETOR
Autonc Knutson, His Two Clerks
and Two Customers Lined Up
Against Wall With Hands Up
While Being Searched.
Wearing black masks over their faces,
two young men entered the grocery store
con3ucted by Antone Knutson, 1160 Bel
mont street, at 10 o'clock last night, and
at revolver points held up the proprietor,
his two clerks ana two plumbers, who
were in the store to buy. All were lined
up about the walls of the place, with
hands held high in the air. A total of $170
and two gold watches were secured by
the highwaymen. One shot was fired
when Knutson attempted to leave by the
rear door.
After committing the robbery, the two
hold-ups left their victims standing with
hands still uplifted. They hurried from
the store and went north. Captain of Po
lice Slover was immediately notified and
a squad of plain-clothes officers was sent
out in an automobile, which was loaned
to the department officials by Harry
Estes.
When the two highwaymen entered the
store, which is situated on the Sunnyside
and Mount Tabor electric line, they found
Knutson, the proprietor; T. C. Vance and
Ray Bean, clerks, and Walter Miller and
Edward H. Sutton, plumbers, there.
"Throw up your hands and line up
against the wall" commanded the high
waymen, and their command was obeyed
quickly.
Every one present backed up against the
walls of the store, their hands held as
high as possible. One of the highway
men searched their pockets, while the
other stood guard at the front door, all
the time holding the muzzle of his re
volver at a level with the victfms' heads.
The richest haul was made when Pro
prietor Knutson's pockets were searched.
He had just finished a busy day's trade
and had $100 on his person. This the
searcher took from him. From Miller
they took $16, from Sutton $34, from
Vance $21. and from Bean $4. They also
took watches from Knutson and Sutton.
Owing to the great excitement that pre
vailed, and the dispatch with which the
robbers did their work, the i victims
seemed unable to give the police any de
scription whatever of the pair, and at
the very outset the officers were put at a
disadvantage.
With his automobile loaded to its ca
pacity with plain-clothes officers, Harry
Estes ard his machine over the hills to
Sunnyside, and the territory over there
was searched, but no trace of the high
waymen was found up to a late hour.
The police were of the opinion that they
might have gone over the hill to Mon tax-ilia,
and that they may have taken a
train from that point over the O. R. &
N. line, but they could learn nothing that
would substantiate -such a theory.
All patrolmen were notified of the hold
up and were on the alert for the robbers,
but the lack of any description handl
caped them at the start, and the police
do-not entertain rnuch hopes of a capture,
unless they can secure something better
in the way of descriptions.
After visiting the scene of the crime.
Detective Sergeant Jones and squad
learned that the two men who perpe
trated the hold-up used automatic revolv
ers, and it Is believed that they are the
men who held up a store in Vancouver
Friday night and stole a lot of weapons
of that make.
The only violence used by the highway
men was the shot fired at Proprietor
Knutson when he attempted to leave the
place, and a blow on the face of Bean,
who hesitated a little before holding up
his hands.
GILLETTE EVIDENCE ALL IN
Contents of Suitcase . Produced to
Show Deliberate Murder.
HERKIMER. N. T.. Dec. 1. The' testi
mony that District Attorney" Ward want
ed to bring together before closing the
prosecution's case in the Gillette murder
trial was got on the records this morn
ing and then court adjourned until Mon
day, when the lawyers will make their
final arguments and the Judge delivers
his charge. The defense applied for per
mission to investigate one point which if
did not name and swear one witness to
testify to it on Monday, but should this
witness be sworn but 20 minutes will be
consumed in the completion of the evi
dence. Gillette was the first witness today.
District Attorney Ward pulled several
garments out of Miss Brown's trunk and
Gillette identified them as having been
worn by Grace Brown in the factory. Gil
lette ransacked his own suitcase before
the jurors, but failed to find any of his
working clothes in the pack.
The purport of the testimony was to
show that Grace Brown's farewell words
to the farm, when she said she "might
never see the dear old place again," were
prompted by her decision to remain away
from home forever with Gillette, who, at
last, had promised to go to South Otselic
j and take her away. Gillette's failure to
find any of his working clothes tn his
grip will be used by the prosecution in
at the Majestic. That the big leading man
was deeply enamored of the little brunette
was well known to all of their theatrical
and intimate personal acquaintances, but
that they were marrried in Santa Cruz
last August was a secret to most of them
until the other day. The morning after
the earthquake Mr. Underwood thought
only of Miss 91osson, and accompanied by
a friend,' he succeeded in reaching her
residence and rescuing her from the fire.
In this case, as in hundreds of similar
cases, the danger of the situation only
intensified the affection which had sprung
up between them, and consequently on
Mr. Underwood's return from the East,
where he went to visit his family. Miss
Slosson consented to become his bride
and they took a quiet trip to Santa Cruz
the day before she started North to ful
fill her Portland engagement
The marriage of Franklyn Underwood
comes as something of a shock to the
matinee girls, with whom he was a great
favorite, and the fact that Miss Slossson
has been a matron for three months is
also having a chilling effect on that lit
tle lady's ma"" admirers of the front row
in Portland. "

summing up as an indication that he in
tended to be back to Cortland in a week.
John .Coye, proprietor of the Tabor
House at De Ruyter, where Gillette put
up the night before Grace Brown came
from South Otselic to meet him, testified
that Gillette applied to him for a horse,
saying he wanted to drive to South Ot
selic When an attempt was made by the
defense to rule this evidence out. District
Attorney Ward said:
"It is to show that Gillette had con
ceived a plot to take this girl away with
out any one knowing she had gone with
Chester Gillette. He registered as Charles
George at the Tabor House, and tried to
hire a horse to convey the idea he was
going to South Otselic. Then when It was
learned that Grace Brown was dead in the
Adirondacks people would say, "Why,
there was a man named Charles George
at De Ruyter Sunday night. He wanted
a horse to go to South Otselic. " "
