Arrest Follows an Hour After
Burglary of Crocery
Prisoner a transient
Water Pitcher in Room Hiding Place
For Money, Revolver and Satis
of Lodge Emblems
One hour after the unlocked safe
Mwas looted last night of $220, a
transient giving the name of Frank
Murphy was u itch Led by Countable
";;Fred Wright In the Nevada Rooming
louse, on Sheridan Btreet, with all
of tho stolen money secreted lu the
vMter pitcher In the room which he
; -had engaged for the night. Murphy
-protests that he Is Innocent and has
Retained Attorney Klbert B. Hcr
fcmuin to act us his counsel at the
preliminary examination, which will
Tjo held before Justice Long probably
tomorrow. ;
- The quick apprehension of the sus
. pected burglar was- due to the dis
covery of his presence In the grocery
as he was leaving with his booty and
bis astonishing act immediately af
terwards In circulating the state
ment that he had been held up and j
robbed by a man who was probably
Lthe burglar sought. Instead of
k secreting himself, as the opportunity
easily anonied, Murpny mingled with
the people on the street and as
' sinned an air of anger at his pre-
r tended hold-up. lie even carried his
bluff so far as to accompany Con-
' stable Wright about town in search
I of the supposed fugitive.
i ' It was itobert Kidd, junior mem-
ber of fjip grocery llrm, whom chance
I caused'' to detect the burglar. Kn-
,a route to the Armory at 10:15 o'clock
' to attend the Masonic banquet, Mr.
Kidd unlocked the front door of the
; stn and stepped inside to extin-
' guV an electric light. A noise In
the rear of the store caused him to
1 turn his gaze in that direction, and
5- the rayB of the electric light re-
L vealed to him the door of the safe
swung open. Inking in the situa
tion in an instant, Mr. Kidd raised
the cry of "burglars," and a crowd
collected In a few minutes. In the
meantime, the burglar left as he bad
come, through a a.de window in the
balcony overlooking a stairway lead
ing to the back yard.
. Upon closing the grocery at li
o'clock in the evening, Mr. Kidd
. purposely left the outer door of the
sale unlocked, intending to return
later to put away his account books.
The strong box, containing the
money, was locked, but this the bur-
glur pried open with a box opener
which he found in the store.

Kidd positively identified the money
as the property of his firm. On the
commode near the pitcher was 30
cents In money which had been
stolen from the cash register in the
grocery. This sum was taken in by
Mr. Kidd on a sale made after he
had balanced his books for the day.
The pitcher that held the stolen
money also contained a revolver.
Murphy stoutly denied that he
knew anything about either the
noney or the weapon. While Con
stable Wright was .searching his
person, Murphy stated that if any
money was found outside of his
clothes he would not claim It.Though
insisting that he was Innocent of
the burglary, he submitted quietly to
arrest.
The stolen money and the revolver
were not the only things the water
pitcher yielded. A thorough search
also brought to view a small tobacco
suck containing a number of articles
of jewelry, all gold plated and as
follows: A Masonic emblem In the
form of a watch charm, bearing the
engraved name of "W. S. Sim
monds," of "Concord Lodge No.
117," and of other branches of
Masonry in Sacramento, Calif.; a
charm of the Native Sons of the
Golden West, suspended from a black
silk fob; a pair of cuff buttons sup
porting the three links of the Odd
Fellows; a thimble; a B. P. O. E.
lapel button; a ring supporting a
cluster of garnets; a watch chain and
a watch rim.
Murphy claimed no ownership to
any of this jewelry. The officers,
however, believe differently and con
sider him a professional thief. Con
stable Wright has telegraphed to the
chief of police at Sacramento In the
hope of learning something about
the prisoner through the Masonic
emblem from a member of the lodge
in that city. A photograph of Mur
phy has also been sent to Sacramen

Speech of Judge Chadwlck
Excellent Music
Brilliant and Impressive as were
the Masonic dedicatory ceremonies In
this city Wednesday afternoon, ad
ded lustre was given to this occa-
ion by the evening programme In
the new Masonic temple and the
splendid banquet which followed at
the Armory. Eloquence, wisdom and
music prevailed at the former, while
enjoyment, pholosophy, mirth and
music, combined with a feast of
hofcest viands, made memorable
the latter. As In the afternoon, the
capacity of the spacious hall was
far overtaxed by the very large
umber of members of the order and
of the Eastern Star who desired to
be present.
The evening ceremonies were
nder the direction of F. L. Davis,
r. M. of Laurel Lodge No. 13, A. F.
A. M., of this city.
The first number, a piano solo,
Allegro from Quartette in F.

ris, wub beautifully rendered and
well received. Mrs. A. N. Orcutt
then sang, "On a Summer Morning"
Sheldon, In such a charming man
ner as to merit the heartiest ap
plause.
The "Presentation Address," to
have been given by Hon. Binger
Hermann, was unavoidably omitted
on account of Mr. Hermann s sudden
illness. "The Higher Ideals of
Masonry," by E. G. Jones, of Port-
and. a Past Master of Masonry, was
heard In its stead. Mr. Jones elo
quently set forth some of the "higher
ideals of the order, and compli
mented the local lodge upon its
plendid new temple. His introduc
tory remarks were in a pleasingly
humorous vein, and his thoughts on
the main subject in hand were
clearly and ably worded. As shown
by Mr. Jones In his address, the
Uglier Ideals of Masonry" are
worthy of the emulation of every
citizen.
Judge Stephen J. Chadwlck, a
native son of Roseburg but now a
ustice of the supreme court of the
state of Washington, was next in
troduced. He related some of the
memories of bygone years and of
the hai-py boyhood days spent In
Roseburg and Douglas county, where
he lived until about 18S0. It was
here he first met his wife, when both
were of verv tender yeais. It was
also at an early uge he was baptised
in the old St. Georges Episcopal
church here.
Taking up the theme of Masonry
he repeated the names of several of
Roseburg's early citizens as shown
n the Musonic grand lodge report
for Oregon in the year 1858. He had
met several of the patriarchal
Masons here during this visit. In
this temple of Friendship, Morality
and Brotherly Love old ncquatn
tniiceshfps were renewed. The mi-
iuulty of Masonry was referred to
brjefly, but one of the first lessons
taught to a new member Ib that
Masonry Is a progressive science,
Anything to he a vital force must be
so for what It Is or does and not for
what It was in the past. Its object
Is to make men wisor and better.
and therefore happier. Uuty to his
God, to his country and to his fel

which exb.t todav do us no cretm
toward a general observance of these
nrinelnles. Unfortunately there
exists a widespread belief that there
is one law for the rich and unoiue

uti.rnllv true, wealth is too often
nlile to wear out the law before Jus

plead that they have no time to do
these things. Yet they are ready to
listen to every theorist who has a
so-called panacea for these Ills. In
the final analysis the management of
our public affairs rests upon the citi
zen. Far more depends upon the
man In public place than upon the
measures. To an eminent' degree it
Is the man who determines how far
and In what way public . measures
shall be observed. It sometimes
seems that the world Is mad with
pessimism, and It seems an easy
thing to smirch the character of any
man, even though his course be lust
and true. In the face of calumny
his dignified and truthful denial Is
too often laughed at.
In a country like ours, the speaker
believes, truth and justice will ulti
mately prevail. It Is the duty of
every citizen to direct his efforts to
ward that much desired consuma
tlon. Too often the tendency is to
tear down, rather than to build up.
Verdicts of juries and the judgments
of courts are frequently denounced
by those who have heard no part of
the testimony and themselves refuse
to sit on juries.
It will be most frequently noticed
that when the nnmes of grafters are
published that they are men who
ould not be welcomed in a Masonic
lodge. It is a good and safe plan to
abide by the square of virtue your
wn conscience for no man hath
the keeping of another's conscience.
That the speaker's Bentlments
were roundly approved was attested
by the generous applause they re
ceived. A vocal quartette, "Legends," by
the Misses Flook, Arrle and Allle
Black and Luclle Ragsdale, was so
beautifully rendered as to merit a
hearty encore, to which they kindly
responded.
Miss Ellen G. Harris sang "The
Rosary" Ethelbert Novln, In a very
chnrming manner, this completing
the evening s programme.
During the receBs, prior to the de
parture for the banquet at the Ar
mory, the ladles quartette sang
several other selections, meriting
ppreclntlve applause.
Tlio Banquet.
The big Armory waB very taste

and vines, and the tables presented
beautiful and bountiful array of
good thingB to eat. lion. O. P.
Cothow prcHlded as toastmaster and
Kov. Chas. VV. Baker of.ered the In-
vocatloi.. Dining the banquet
cellent music was furnished by
stringed orchestra.
The post prandial exercises were
opened with a brief talk ' by the
toastmaster, proposing the
Toast: "Our Temple,"
The temple made of wood and stone
may crumble and decay,
But there's a viewless Fabric which
shall never fade away;
Age after age the Masons strive
to consummate the Plan,
But still the work's unfinished
which tho Immortal Three began;
None but Immortal eyes may view,
complete In all Its partB,
The Temple formed of Living Stones
the structure made of hearts."
This was ably responded to by Dr.
Norrls R. Cox, grand master, who
told of the symbols of Masonry, the
most prized of which was the temple
of Solomon which for 400 years
glittered on tho hills of Jerusalem
It was also an emblem of that
spiritual being, "a house not made
with hands, eternal In the heavens.
and whereunto the earthly sojourner
hopes eventuully to hear the sum
mons; "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, enter Into the joys
of thy Lord."
"The (lllirrh anil tlie Order."
Although our past achievements
we with honeHt pride review,
As long as there's Rough Ashlars
there Is work for us to do;
We still must shppe the Living
Stones with Instruments of love,
For that eternal Mans:on In the
Paradise above;
Toll as we've tolled In ages past
to carry out the plan
Tis this the Fatherhood of Ood,
the Brotherhood of Man."
To this responBC was mado by Rev.
Chas. W. Baker. This relationship
was declared to be a close and vital
one. It began with the erection of
Solomon s temple, wherein to wor
ship the one true Ood. Evidences of
the teaching of the precepts or
.Masonry have been found In the
ruins of Babylon and of Tyre. We
not only build material but spiritual
structures now. Masonry Is not
Intended as a substitute but as an
auxiliary of the church.
"The Adoptive Illic
it Is In our heart, dear Sisters.

To give our warmest welcome
To the best beloved, tonight;
To the wife, so proudly eheilHhcd
To the daughter, sister, true.

That one bright link survives the
wreck.
By warring nations wrought;
I'hls Mystic tie doth proudly Bcorn

And, like the pinions of the morn,
preads o'er the world her light."
Hon. J. H. Ackerman in response
declared thlB to be the greatest day
for education In the history of Rose
burg. Education Is worldwide. Even
with a child only one-twentieth of Its
time 8 spent In tho school room.
However, all the forces of civiliza
tion are working together for the
pllft of humanity. He recommendB
that the order's educational fund be
loaned more freely to deserving
students. After this dny's exercises
every boy here will notice hereafter
who is a Mason.
"Tlio Mason an it Citizen."
Have faith in one another,
When you meet In friendship's
name,
For a true friend Is a brother,
And his heart shall throb the
same;
Though your paths In life may
differ,
Since the hour when flfat ye met,
Have faith In one nnother
Ye may need that friendBhip yet."
Hon. Lark Bllyeu, in response, de
clared the foundation of a Mason's
hope to be the foundation of the
church. The history of the human
race Is the hlBtory of Freemasonry.
To bridge the grave has been the
problem of the ages. Masonry and
its symbols inculcates the principles
of truth and mornllty, leading up to
the very attributes of Ood himself.
This concluded the dedicatory
exercises, between 600 and 700 per
sons having enjoyed this splendid
banquet. It also closed a Red Letter
day In the history of Masonry In
Oregon and especially lu Douglas
county.
