scribbled addresses iu the pocket
note book taken from Harry Smith, 4
nurse mier ai itoseuurg, lias been
run down by Sheriff Maas of Clack
amas county without result. None of
the persons mentioned could be lo
cated. The value of Smith's tip by
the authorities is considered to be
small. In a conversation yesterday
with District Attorney Brown at
Roseburg the prisoner Btated that he
had based his suspicions on a conver
sation between two men which he
overheard in Krlcksou's saloon in
Portland, several weeks ago. He was
playing cards, he says, and the men
were statnding at the bar. One of
them remarked: "We fixed the whole
family.' Smith says the speaker was
Albert Benson, alias McDonald, a bar
keeper, whom he had known at Spo
kane, Taconm and other cities of the
Northwest. He describes Benson as
being 5 feet 10 Inches tail, weight
160 pounds, dark complexion, and
cross-eyed.
Sheriff Stevens and Sheriff Maas,
have made a thorough search for the
man named by Smith, but no record
can be found of him. The Portland
police do not know him. The Spo
kane authorities made a similar re
ply to a telegram sent them, while in
Seattle five different Albert Bonsons
were arrested during the last year.
none of them cross-eyed, however.
The authorities at Roseburg are con
vinced that Smith has fabricated his
story and that he is attempting to
purchase Immunity from the charge
of horse stealing by pretending to as

Hill murderers.
White Children In Chinatown.
From the Christian Herald.
The messengers boys have, per
haps, been most brutally sacrificed
of all classes of child laborers. A
certain Chinese restaurant has for
vears advertised to supply boys for
doing any sort of errand all night
long. These bright little fellows have
been sent In the small hours of the
morning to purchase cocaine, opium,
"knockout drops" and worse things.
The boyB learn every vice at shock
ingly tender age. One messenger
boy said, "Not many of us ever get
anywhere. We get drunk and lose our
jobs and then we go down hill quick
and fast." A triumph of legislation
in New York state has been the pas
sage of a law making It a crime to
employ for night messengers any boy
