Associated Press "War Lead, May
21. There has been, no let up in the
German drive south from the Aisnej
river, and the allies have been forc-i
ed to give more ground, but confi
dence is expresesd in Purls that
with the reserves now rapidly com
ing up the Hun advance will ghortly
be checked. In fact, it is apparent
that the Germans are alrcndy being
held hi the center along the ..Vcsle
river, near Flsmes, "where the" point
of the enemy wedge lias been thrust.
Both flanks, however, have been com
pelled to fall back from the weight
of hordes of German troops. Sols

the nearest point to the battle line as
it existed before the new German
drive began Monday- . .
BIG GUN BUSY.

HIGH OFFICIAL HOARDING.
Washington, May 29. Francis S.
Nash, medical director of the iavj
with his wife, was today indicted on
a chnrge of hoarding foodstuffs,
when the Nash home was searched by
investigators they found among other
large quantities of food stuffs, a ton
and a half of sugar.
PLEASED BY REPORTS.
Washington, May 20 The war de
partment is highly elated with the
conduct, of United States troops on
the western front, - and the' Mont
didier battle shows the Americans
have been apt pupils in learning the
tactics employed in this greatest of
ail wars. Some of the department
officials think that the American at
tack may possibly forecast an allied
counter offensive on a large scale
under the direction of General Foch.
The German claim that 15,000 pris
oners were taken in the new thrust
on the Aisne front is considered not
out of the ordinary, if true, as the
Huns overran the British and French
trenches to a depth of ten miles dur
ing their advance,

American artillery prepared the way
and they dug into the fight with a
spiritedhess- that is characteristic of
western ideals, forcing the enemy
back and advancing their' own tines
materially. Morale of the United
States troops was excellent and the
wounded seen in hospitals after the
battle were in fine fettle, laughing
and joking with nurses over
their adventures. A counter attack
by the Germans west of Moiitilldier,
last night proved a disastrous move
for the Huns, who were thrown back

A CLEVER CROOK IS
TAKEN1NT0CUST0DY
Sam Shove, Who Passed a
Worthless Check; Arrested
By Detective Cotturri.
COMES OUT OF HIDING
Former Portland Business Man and
Was So iteprcsented to Mr.
Weaver Who Cashed Check
Has Served Term in Pen.
Sam Shove, the clever crook who!
baa been plying his vocation la this;
city for the past Beverai weefca. 8n-l
ally winding up his ''business affairs" j
last Saturday by getting a check
cashed for 1 150, and immediately
dlsappeaiis thereafter, was taken;
lata custody toaay by Southern Pa-!
cine Detective Cotturri, when u.e In
dividual boarded thia ; morning's j
train at Oreoi station.- Shove wa
anxious to buy a ticket from the eon-
ductor ot the train clear through to !
Sacramento, but he could not be ac-
commodate!!, in this respect so pur-!
chased transportation to Ashland,
the first division point. Detective;
botturri, who was enroute' south,
bad been Interacted by Sheriff Qutne
this morning to keep a- lookout for
the forger and while the. former was
passing through the train his eye
fell on Shove, who was clad in a
new pair of overalls and a soft shirt
which he had bought early this morn
ing at the Mynatt store, near Green,
and donned before boarding the
train. The detective immediately
suspicioned that he had the man the
officers were looking for and at once
struck up a conversation with Shove,
wSo at Bret, refrained from giving
any information that would lead to
his identity. Finally, after same
close Questioning, and his suspicions
being further aroused, Cotturrt es
corted the fellow to -the rear end of
the train and took an Inventory of
Shove's -belongings, .among which
was $.139.59 of hisH-gotten. gains
received in this city and papers and
a bank' book that fuiiy verified the
identity of the crook wanted by 'the
local- officers and the fellow was tak
en oft. the train at Myrtle Creek, in
formation sent to Sheriff Qutne wild,
In company with Mr. Weaver, imme
diately left by Jtuta for the southern
city, returning with Shove about 1
o'clock, this afternoon, and, after be
ing duesti&ned -briefly, a thorough
search was made of his clothing be
was allowed to occupy a suite at
rooms in the county jail until such
time as his case comes us for proper
disposition.
Sbove immediately disappeared
Saturday afternoon after he had re
ceived the 15 on itta check ana
since that moment not a single word
had been heard as to his where
abouts, although Sheriff Qutae spent
the greater part of last night scour
ing the conntrv close to ttosaourg,
believing thai the fellow -h sb in bid
ding aud would probably try to make
his get-awny at the first opportune
moment, and that the slierliT &aa
the right, clue is evidenced by the fact
that Shove's first appearance in the
"onea" occurred this morning when
Mr. Mynatt notified the official that
a tellow answering the description
of the much-wanted man had beau at
his store and purchased a pair of
overalls and shirt, and that he was
probably heading south.
Shove, after closing his business
affairs in this city Saturday prob
ably went right Into hiding, thinking
that the matter - would probably
"blow aver" la a few days and that
he would have clear sailing to get
out of the country, but, in this he
failed completely.
Further developments in refer
ence to Shove's past career brought
to light today the fact that he was
formerly la business at Portland, his
letter heads showing that he was
located at 42S Stark street, and en
gaged in handling fumeless gas
heaters. It was upon this snowing
and the (act that a traveiing man
who visited Roseburg knew Shove
in Portland and the line of business
he was operating that Mr. Weaver, of
the jmpqua, consented to cash the
check presented by Shove, who, from i
general appearanc&B and manner,;
one would believe to be above sus
picion from any crookedness. The
fellow was neatly dressed in a gray'
unit, wore a Spanish-American war
veteran emblem, bright appearing In
every respect and a person one would
not judge to be & hardened criminal,
which late developments have provt
en, it having been learned today that
he is an. ex-convict, having served a
term la the Washington penitentiary,
but on what charge is not koofca.
This information came to the local
officers after a little Investigation in
to the fellow's past record.
When searched at the sheriff's of

from a contract that he had stated

GRAND JURY RLB

Unpatriotic. .
RSHWAY IS CONDEMNED
Recommends That Douglas County
Light it water t&mjxuijr tie
Compelled to Install AdeduwCr
' Fishway at Winchester.
' The, grand jury which ha"s been In
session here for the past week fin
ished their labors late yesterday aft
ernoon and were discharged by
judge Hamlton. In ' addition to
recommending that all persons mak
ing seditions or unpatriotic remarks
be reported to the proper aucoori-
ties, the grand Jury condemned the
ftahway at Winchester, in no uncer
tain terms.
; The following Is the report filed
with Judge Hamilton: ,.
! In the circuit court at ttia state of
Oregon for Douglas county. .
To ihe Honorable J, W. Hamilton,
circuit judge:
We, the grand Jury- duly empanei-
ed for the county of Douglas, state
of Oregon, beg to. make the following
report: . . -
; That we were duiy empaneled at
the November, 1S17, terra at .this
court, and that, we have been con
tinued as the raud jury from' ierm
to term by Your Honor.
We have investigated ana iaouir
ed Into all crimes alleged ta have
heen committed and tryabie within
Douglas county, Oregon, and have in
dicted all persons where in oar iude-
ittent .we have deemed the evidence ;
sufficient, and have returned not
true biila in- those cases where in
our opinion the evidence was insuf-!
Sclent to sustain the charge, under
ihe Instructions given us by Your
Honor. ' ' .. "-' ' '
V .We feel IUai .it might, to of-inte&-.
asi and importance ta call the at
tention of the taxpayers of Douglas
county to same at the Investigations
we have made, to-wlt:
1. A great many casesT of sedi
tion are reported to the prosecuting
officers. While we have had some of
.theae cases before us, yet we are ad
vised that there is no state law ta
cape with the majority of these
eases. We recommend, however,
.that every person who has knowl
edge of any seditious or unpatriotic
remarks uttered! to immediatiVj re
part the name of the person making
the same, togetJier with the name?
at witnesses to subtsantSate that
fact, and also the words used, or
their import, to the prosecuting of
ficers, upon whom we charge the duty
of vlgo.oasiy and relentlessly Inves
tigating and prosecuting the offend
ers. These remarks are not only di
rected against our government, but
.interfere with every war activity that
"ia being undertaken by our loyal
and patriotic citizens, and in .many
instances slanderous remarks are
made aad the good motive of fh&se
patriotic people questioned. -,.
2. There are many persons, a&le-
L bodied, hale and hearty, who are
loafing or engaged! in occupations
that have no producing power. We
recommend that the officers enforce
any and all laws which we have upon
the statute books requiring these
persons to engage in useful oeettpa
tlons In this time of seed, so that
they may produce something which
will support the government and
help to feed our army abroad. "While
our laws may not fee sufficient to cope
with every case, yet the councils of
the various towns of oar county can
pass ordinances that wiil be sufficient
to cope with every case.
3. We have investigated the fish-
way at the data at the Douglas
Light & Water Company's plant at
Winchester, Ore,, and we find said
fishway to be absolutely and wholly
Inadeauate and therefore recommend
that the state hoard of ash. and
game commissioners immediately
proceed to condemn said fishway.
and have a new, up-lo-iiats, adequate
and sufficient fishway installed in
accordance with such plans and apect-
flCRtions as jnay be determined by j
Raid state board at fish and gainej
commissioners. j
We find that said Douglas County !
Light & Water Company has In the
past put forth no effort whatever to
keep said fishway free tram obstruc
tions, but on tba other hand, that its
agents andt employes have openly
and continuously violated the fish
laws of the state of Oregon, and we
wish' to recommend that in the fn
tr said company be hold respon
sible far any and aii ct of its
agents.
fe further recommend that said
ftsHway be placed at the most con
venient piace for the fish to pass.
While we do not pose as experts
upon this subject, and will have to
leave the selection of tbs- site tor
said fishway ta the state board of
fish and game commissioners, bat in
the'event that said board should de
termine upon a new fishway on the
north hank of the rlvar at the site, of
the present e-eaiied fishnvBy, than
and In thst'ease, we wooid recom-l
mend Jisat the north side thereat be
built ot concrete, with a fence Br
other, barrier constructed m that a
person er the public can bo kept
from said fishway, The Bsshway to he
constructed is to be adequate and
gtttfteteat tar all gossan and for all
stages of wafer, so the any and all
fish can pas said dam without be-
Inr gafi ed- or mutilated la attempt-
ing to do so. i
We ftadr that the law makes Si !-!
eumbent upon the owners and opera-
tars of all mill dams to construct
iisiiwajs and keep tha same in re-
pair and opes and free from obstrac-
ttoiis to the passage of fish at all!
times. We further find that every
awaec ar operator of sues dam fail-
isg or refusing to keep the same
open. and free from i4 ructions,
shall be guilty at a misdemeanor;
therefore, we charge said board of
nsh and game coturaissSeaers with!
the duty of immediately notifying
said Douglas County Light & Water
Company to construct such adequate!
fishway as in the opinion : ot Said
board ft ftsa and game commission-!
era will be sufficient, and tftft the
same be kept open and free from ob-j
at ructions at all times.
: ' And bow we wish fo state to Yoor
Honor that we have finished wit is-
boi-s as far as we can at the present
time without remaining in' session fn
sefiaiiely, and having eenscteattausly
pet-farmed oar duty to the best of
our ability, we now asfc that we iw
relieved from further duty at- this
time; ''.'.; . ' v.
