SOCTHERS Jelled Up In County Road Cause Warn. Faulty Sirltch Xobody Seri ously Injured. ALBANY, Or., May 15. The, -worst wreck in the history of the Iiebanon branch of the Southern Pacific occurred at Froman Station, 2& miles from Albany, this forenoon. The .train from Wendling, 23 cars long:, due here at 10:30 o'clock, was passing the switch at Froman. The engine an'd three cars were past the switch when it slipped under the fourth car, throwing the following- cars from the track. The fifth car plowed Into a cattle guard, and the cars behind tumbled over It Into the county road until 10 cars were in a pile, most of them smashed to pieces. The 10 end cars, Including a passenger car and a combination car, remained on the track. There were 12 or 15 passengers on the train, 'including- Mr. and .Mrs. C. B. Montague. H. A. Miller and Henry Iang, a Portland drummer, who were considerably Jarred. George Small, a irakeman, was thrown over a seat and his back strained. The wreck was caused by the lock and staple of the .switch having- been taken out by some one unknown.

M., and spent all the afternoon and evening considering proposals to change the con stitution and by-laws of the order. The forenoon was spent visiting "the state in stitutions.

Wah.. May 15. A serious wreck of the North Coast limited train sras narrowly averted here this evening about 5:30 in a collision with the tender -of a freight train on the Chehalis-South Bend branch. The engine of the latter train was backing on to the main line with a heavy load, and the air brakes failed to work. No. 2 was running a few minutes late and coming at great speed when the accident occurred. The tender of the freight engine was ditched, but not until most of the cars on No. 2 had been badly splintered on one side, glass doors In vestlbles shat tered and other damage received. The dining-car and day coach were left here and the limited train got out at 6:30. No one -was hurt. Ditching of the passenger train at that point would have been a terrible accident, as the grade Is high, ADJUDGED SANE. C. G. BURKHARDT jCIvil War Veteran Tried on Charge Brought by His "Wife. OREGON CITY, Or., May 15.-The trial of Ell Longley, a Civil War veteran, of .Clackamas Precinct, on a charge of in sanity, occupied -the entire afternoon in County Judge Ryan's office. The com plaint was made by Flora T. Longley, the wife of the accused, and the exam ination of the witnesses so much re sembled the proceedings in a divorce suit Where property Interests are involved that the introduction of further testimony was debarred and the examining physi cian pronounced Longley sane. Longley and his wife were each repre sented by counsel, and a Portland ad vertising man and his wife were the principal witnesses against the accused. The wife alleged that she married Long- ley m Cincinnati about a year and a half ago, and subsequently moved to Chicago. Last year they came to Ore gon and purchased a neat suburban home near Clackamas Station. Mrs. Longley averred that she had furnished all the money for their living and traveling ex penses, and had paid for the Clackamas farm; that Longley had repeatedly told her of his wealth, mortgages and dia monds, but that he had been 'deceiving her. In answer to the question as to how it came that the farm, was deeded Jointly to herself and husband, she said that it was not her intention to have the papers made in that way. She further al leged that Longley had fits of anger and insanity, which were growing worse. Mrs. Longley's attorney attempted to worm out the whereabouts of the chest con taining the secret apartment that held the diamonds Mr. Longley had told about. He said that the chest was In the care of a Grand Army comrade by the name of Moore, but the court shut off further cross-examination, claiming that It had no connection with the case. Mrs. Long ley Is now living with Mr. Head and wife. In Portland, who were her witnesses. Ac cording to their own testimony, they iormerly lived a considerable portion of the time at the Longley farm. Immedi ately after his discharge Longley begged his wife to return home, but she recused. ; .. ,v.; ;:i$i;.j.;;?

Grand Chief Ranger Burkhardt was a charter member of Court Liberty, at Al bany, and has serred two terms as chief ranger of that court. He was chosen Grand chief ranger from the Door of the grand court. He Is engaged in the real estate and loan business at Albany. Crawford would divulge what the spe cial object is. It Is the general impres sion, however, that the chief aim will be to get an expression from the depositors relative to tifelr choice for a permanent receiver of the bank, and possibly to recommend some person for that position. It is well known that a majority of the depositors prefer that the receiver ap pointed be a resident of Vancouver. Receiver J. W. Maxwell was seen to day concerning the "Washington dispatch In today's5 Oregonlan saying that he had requested the Controller of the Currency to hold his report of the bank from pub lication pending ttie receipt of a supple mental report from him. but declined to make any statement either confirming or denying the report REQUISITION FOR $15,000. Pan-American Commission Will - Draw That Amoant. OLYMPIA. Wash., May 15. The Wash ington Pan-American Commission Is about to make a requisition on the State Aud itor for ?15,000. This will leave but $2500 in the Buffalo exhibit fund. The remain ing sum would also be drawn by the com mission, but for the fact that the Aud itor objects, as there Is now an action pending against him in "the courts, brought by Mrs. Barr and Mrs. Hidden to compel him to allow their expenses as members of the honorary board of women managers of the exposition. The ritate Commissioners motive in drawing almost the entire sum left Sn the iund is doubt!efl to circumvent th-s women In their effort to secure expenses of their trip to "Buffalo. After the com mission has expended the $15,000 It will have no trouble to get what is left, as all that Is necessary, under the Attorney- General's opinion, to draw upon the fund Is a requisition slgnedby the president and secretary. si, 'jsixiftr iu We Don't Know.

Disfigured Body of. Man Found In Colnmufn River.- STEVENSON, Wash.. May 15. The body of an unknown man was found floating in the Columbia River near this place yesterday. Acting Coroner Gtnder was summoned and held an inquest, which disclosed that the man had been burned In a fire. Both legs and irms were gone, and the skull was crushed." The body was wholly devoid of clothing. Indications of foul play was the result of the Inquest, but nothing was discov ered by which the man could be Identified. RESTRAINT OF INDIANS. They Will Not Be Allowed to Won der From Their Reservations. WASHINGTON, May 10. The Indian Bureau, when Its attention was called to the fact that the citizens of Wallowa County, Oregon, were being molested by Indians from the Umatilla, Colville and Lapwai Reservations, communicated with (the .respective Indian agents, inquiring as to the true state of affairs and direct ing them to correct any irregularities and to prevent further interference on the part of these Indians. Although these steps were taken sev cra weeks ago, no replies have yet been Iiad from the agents. It is stated here, however, that If the Indians are at fault, their wrongdoings will be arrested and order will be restored. It Is the Inten tion of the Indian Bureau to keep all In dians on their reservations and not to allow any Interference with settlers. The fact that no recent complaints have been lodged with the department Is taken to mean that conditions have changed for the better, and that the Indians have re turned to their own lands. One of the principal changes made In the by-laws was that by which the stand ing grand court funeral benefit fund is Increased from 1200 to not less than ?500. This fund Is raised by a per capita assess ment, and from It the heirs of a de ceased member are paid $100 and a mem ber Is paid 550 upon the death of his wife. An attempt was made to change the biennial sessions of the grand court to annual sessions, but this was voted down. The biennial report of the condition of the order shows an increase of 100 per cent in membership, and for this reason the salary of the grand secretary was doubled. It was decided to conduct a vigorous campaign for a still greater in crease in membership during the present year, and to this end a liberal appro priation was made to pay the expenses of the grand chief ranger In visiting subordinate courts, and the execuUe council was authorized to put two or ganizers into the field. A number of changes of minor importance were made in other portions of the by-laws. The delegates worked hard In an effort to complete their labors tonight, but were unable to do so, and another ses sion will be' held tomorrow, at which time the new officers will be Installed. At the evening session the delegates were entertained by a class of girls from the Mute School, who sang familiar hymns with their hands. Though deaf and dumb, the girls kept splendid time with the accompaniment and were so graceful in their movements that there was a pleasing music In their gestures. The sign language was so well rendered that much of It was Intelligible even to those unacquainted with It. WILL FIGHT THE LAW. for Five Saloon-Keepers Arrested Violating City Ordinance. ASHLAND, Or.. May 15. Five safoon Scpepers of this "city were "brought before Recorder Milton Berry, this morning, on a. complaint charging violation of, the, ordinance which prohibits "the sale of In toxicating liquors within the corporate limits of the city The ordinance was enacted and became .effective, in January, last, following an advisory vote taken at the city election-In December, when the anti-saloon sentiment prevailed by a email majority. Only one barroom closed as a result of the prohibition ordinance, and continued violations of the city laws have com pelled the authorities to take up prosecu tions. When the matter came up before the City Recorder today, he granted a request for continuance tuull next Mon day. Saloon-keepers, as well as the city, liave engaged special counsel, and there ie promise of a busy season In the courts until the matter is settled. GRAND COURT ADJOURNED.

Two crates of strawberries, the first of the season, were Addresed the Students. EUGENE, Or., May 15. Dr. J. R. Wil son, of the Portland Academy, lectured last night before the students of the University of Oregon on the subject, "A College Education as Means of Enlarg ing Experience." The lecture was list ened to by a large and attentive audi ence. Dr. Wilson also spoke at the stu dent assembly this morning. Dairymen Will Meet. GERVAIS. Or., May 15. There will be e dairymen's meeting at Laurana, Friday, May 17, at which will, be present Dr. James Withycombe and Professor S. L. Kent, of the State Agricultural College. The sessions will be from 2 to 4 and from S to 10 P. M. improper entries were made. This col lection, made from G. W. Colvig, was neither entered among the receipts, nor the payments to the State Treasurer. The books of the clerk show that the total collections during General Odell's term were ?714,S46 80, not including the $71 30 not accounted for. It Is also reported by the clerks that all receipts were not noted on the stubs, a practice which had been handed down from each clerk to his successor. The re port closes as follows: "Assuming this task with a sense of the responsibility resting upon us, we have .used our utmost endeavor, to do our work "thofouglily, Honestly and fairly. We know our figures to be correct. If our recommendations were complied with, lit tle chanqe would be left for peculation of any kind, and the interests of the state would be protected." The clerks are E. C. Hackett, of Ore gon City; J. C. Hodson, of Newberg, and W. A. Jones, of Salem. Ex-Clerk Odell said to an Oregonian correspondent this evening that the short age reported is due entirely to an over sight in entering the receipts in the cash book. The money remitted by Colvig was sent to Treasurer Metschan and was by him turned over to the clerk of the board, to whom It should have been sent In the first Instance. It was the custom for the bookkeeper to make out the receipts and to enter the amount In the cash book, but on this occasslon the bookkeeper was out and Mr. Odell wrote the receipt, leav ing the stub on the bookkeeper's desk. The bookkeeper did not notice the stub, and no entry was made. The payment seems to have been overlooked again when checking up at the end of the month. Mr. Odell will pay the amount due to the board. The methods of conducting the State Land Office under the present adminis tration are materially different from what they were under the term in which a de falcation occurred. The clerk of the board is required to issue duplicate re ceipts for all money collected by him, one receipt to be delivered to the person paying the money and the other to be filed iiy.the office of the State Treasurer. Stubs of all receipts must also be kept. The clerk Is required to turn over all the money in his hands at the end of the month and an attache of the Treasurer's office checks up the books in the land office at the end of each month. Under a system like this the defalca tion of Clerk Davis would not have oc curred. Every one who was well acqalnt ed with Mr. Davis says that he was not at heart a dishonest man, and did not take state money with the intention of keeping it. He was not required by the board to turn over all the money In his hands at the end of each month, nor at the end of each year. He simply "bor rowed" the state's money for a while, and at the end of his term was not able to pay it back. He altered his books as a last resort In the hope of covering up his shortage. i Trouble-About a Colt.' COLFAX, Wash.. May 15.
