New 'and sensational features have come I to light in connection with the graft investigation in this city. It Is learned on good authority that the relief funds for the fire sufferers have been lroted to the extent of nearly - $l,ooo,ooo. . So indignant was President Roosevelt, on bear ing of the stealing of the funds con tributed by sympathetic citizens of various states for the relief 'of the unfortunates of San Francisco, that he is reported, to have said that he wd&ld brina the offenders from the T rr ,-- r,--f, u uttermost parts of the earth should they make temporary escape. Daring tbe fir&t days following the fire 10 ban Francisco sympa thetic citizens throughout the cotfotry forwarded relief moneys by postal orders and by enclosing scrip in envelopes and other ; packages The world not being acquainted with tbe organization of relief bod ies "id the city, forwarded financial aid in care of Mayor Scbmitz. It is said amounts ranging from 50 cents upward into hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars were sent -to tne mayor and that a com paratively small sum only reached the Red Cross or citizens' relief committee as shown by the records. It is estimated that tbe relief mon eys were forwarded through lo.ooo anoUOoeibly 3o,ooo postoffices of the United States and also that considerable sums came through the express companies Tbe interest of President RooBe velt and tne lederal authorities in this affair has been so great that the president is credited with tbe statement that the government wil expend Sl.000,000 if necessary to Furniture, Stoves, Ranges Crockery, Glassware and Graniteware.

Over loomf the most expert op eratives of the secret service depart ment have been at work among the postofficea of the Union and in this city tracing money orders and re ceipts. The crime of forgery is said to be included in the offenses the raiders of the relief contribu tions. William J. Burns, one of the most expert and successful deteo uvea in tne employ ot tne govern ment ii retailed to work in San Krnciseo. Francis1 J.' Heney, who with Burns was engaged in prose cutiog important land frand cases of Oiegon and California, was de tached from that work and assigned to the San Francisco graft invest! gation. So secret has been the work these government agents that eve a District Attorney Langdon was not j acquainted with the main purpose for fear tht he might "leak." During Sohmltz' tour abroad he ha-i been all the time under the watchful eye of government agents. Tbe first hint of thefts came when $t,o85 in currency Beat from Sesrch ligbt to the mayor's Office disap peared. The express company has a receipt for the money, and the Searchlight editor, who sent the money, has. a letter of acknowledge ment, but the money is missing and Scbmitz and all his underlings de ny it was ever received. Evidence of alleged graft in the issuances of licenses for French res taurants was placed before the grand jury this . morning. Oa it the investigators say they are post tive they can secure the indictment and conviction of men high up in the administration. Befoie the iu- ry went Into session Secret - Service Agent Burns announced that the evidence waB the most complete ev er gathered in any casa and would convince any jury in tbe world ; of the guilt of the persons accused ; ine personnel, of. the witnesses summoned for the first meeting snowed clearly that the first evi dence taken will be with a view to icticd Abe Ruef. Oa tbe center table of nearly eve ry ranch houee in Benton county, in common with every corner of the United States, will be found a bulky catalogue of Sear?, Roebuck & Co , Chicago. This house does an immense business and its wealth is away up in the millions, so we regard thiB bit of inside information as to the methods once practiced by the heads, and which have proba bly not gone out of fashion yet, as worthy the perusal and considera tion of their Benton county patrone: "Do you know how Sears, Roe- buch & Co. started in business?" asked Mr. Zandition of tha News editor-recently. worked for them 'nine years ago. I knew ar when be was a station agent in Wisconsin and Roebuck when be was a watch peddler. One time Roebuck wanted to go to Milwau kee and didn't have the money ; so he left a watch as securety with Sears for his tare, telling him that if he should be able to sell the watch tor more than six dollars he might keep half he made. Sears sold the watch for $12. Ihen Sears wrote to Roebuck in Milwaukee and got him to send by express a dozen watches to Bill Jones, Sam Smith and a lot of fiotious names These watches were billed out at $25 and $10 paid on them appar ently. Sears unloaded them on his friends easily at $15 each, which cost him and Roebuck J53 5O. But the railroad company got onto the eame and fired Sears, and two of them opened an olhce in Milwaukee Tiny bought a thousand watches and shipped them to every express office in Kansas, Missouri and Illi nois. These watches cost 3 but tbev sold as $25 watches maiked $10 and to fictitious names. . 'Wben the agent reported . such matters back as undelivered, then this pair would write back that some mistake must surely be made but as Davment of $10 . had been made on this watch they would a' low the agent a commission of $2 to secure the o her $l.s Well, the watch scheme worked fine and the pair cleaned up SlO.ooo. Then thev bousht a lot of parlor sets for children and advertised them, giv ing the impression you would re ceive a full set of furniture for $s and tfao people bit all over thecoun- try. uacie bam baa stopped bearst Roebuck & Co.'s mail - fourteen times for fake deals like this bat has never been able to catch them.' Sears is probably worth nine or ten millions.. Roebuck ie working in Des Moines, Iowa, for $18 a week, having been forced out of business r several years ago. As an illustra tion of how this firm makes money: About a year ago they bought -: about three . thousand bicycles - all alike, and they placed three prices on the same wheel, which cost them $6.50, and they sold it for $12.75, $16.25 and $12.50. The same wheel, mind you, possibly a differ ent color of paint but the only dif- - ferencq was that some people want ed a $12.5o wheel and others a $12.75 wheel, and they got what they wanted. They work the same graft on clothing. In catalogues they, advertise clay worsteds, at $12.50, $15 and $18. . No matter what you pay you get tbe same suit. . The name Saars, Roebuck & Co. is tneir trade mars and as Roebuck has been bankrupt for several years he is-not connected with the firm. Montgomery Ward is. practically dead and has been for several years. Yet tbeee people have been eo sue-. cessfol in stealing from ihs public such large sums that it is a wonder Uncle Sam allows them to exist. Taeir advertisement is deceptive.. They do not fill orders as the cus tomers think they are filled, yet they are Btnooth enough to keep within the bounds of tne law some way.. Even your oountry merchant who pays a larger, whole sale pries for his goods than they do. could get rich selling a better grade of goods to the people that patronize these two big places. I worked for Sears, Roebuck & Co. for two years and I know what I say is true."- Norton County News, Karsas. Portland, Or., N v. 10.
