SEATTLE, June 2 After traveling
thousands , of ... miitKA crossing ;jh
Atlantic twice, H. W. Anderson is to
day searching the exposition grounds
for his wife and two children from
whom he was separated during the
3an Francisco earthquake. Anderson
waa injured at that time and was in
the hospital for weeks. When he re
covered he started a search for his
family not knowing whether they were
alive or dead. Having spent many
years in London he thought the family
had returned there. He worked Itia
way- across the Atlantic and in Lon
don learned that his wife and chil
dren were alive somewhere on the
Pacific coast. He returned and came
to Portland, where he was informed
they had worked here but went to the
exposition to get a position. Ander
son is now carefully scrutinizing the.1
features of all women on the grounds.

New York yesterday afternoon. , '
One of the secrei-ladlctmeuta re
turned by the recei ltd Jury has
proven to be against Price GatPs of
this city, charging bootlegging. Gates
was arrested this morning on order
of the grand jury and was placed
under $250 bonds. . His arraignment
and pleadings will follow. Price
Gates is the man who undertook to
get evidence against Christ Bellas,
the Greek who was in the city courts
last week pu chargs of bootlecttlng.
Nothing has been given out for publi
cation as. to where Gates la alleged
to have sold the - liquor, :' but . this
will of course become kuown when
the case cornea to atrial.!;, , .
Another Case Made Kuown.
Still anothr Indictment drawn by
the grand jury and kept secret ft r
rime,-" Is utvr against CYr: 4oaes ,ci
Union who Is charged with adultry,
and became public today. His arrest
was made this morning, but arraigu
meot did not follow immediately.
, -Liquor apparently is to blame for
Jones' apearance In circuit court, on
charges of adultry preferred by .'the
grand jury. It appears that Jones,
conducted a saloon In Union until the
county went dry and then opened a
soft drink establishment. Until re
cently, he enjoyed the esteem of all
Union as an energetic Touhg man.
Of late he has lived with a woman
whom he. claimed to be -his wife, but
a woman named Anna E. Jones of The
Dalles appeared ; before the grand
Jury and asserted that the alleged
woman Is not his true wife, as she
is still the bona fide .other half. It
Is said that Jones drnk heavily up to
the time of his arrest. ' : ?

Just To Remind;
WHEN MONEY, is scare general stagnation sets' In with'
its resultant disasters to every line of business, to every
profession, and every wage-earner. It is therefore to your
interest to help make money plentiful in Oregon yy simply
keeping it here. The sworn statements of life Insurance
companies on file with State Insurance Commissioner S.
A. Kozer, Salem, Oregon, show that ' : "
10.0'-W:U.OO was sent of OREGON for life insurance premiums in the
past five years . ';:':' v w ; :
8,n2,!)l.j.00 : Is the total returned here'. to pay death lossess and divl
dens in the same five years. . - -
$i,K70, 119.00 "Is the; net amount drained out of Oregon in 5 years for
f life Insurance premiums sent' to enrich Wisconsin, New
York and other states by making THEIR home companies
- . the custodians of these trusts funds from Oregonr Does
anyone doubt that the commercial supremacy of ;' New
York Is due to the centralization of thev insurance assets "
In that market, more than to any other one factor? More -.
money Is handled by the Insurance companies than all
the transportation companies in the country, and it is the
' centralization of these Immense accumulations In one lo-
callty that makes that locality the seat of the financial
empire. .- ' ' ' '
It Is the personal Interest of every citizen of Oregon
to use his influence that Life Insurance ; be bought of
OrCgOnfifC an( tlxe money kept in Oregon tor Oregon's
