A dispatch from Tacoma In a recent issue of The Ore gonian stated that James Applewhite had been found dead there at the foot of an electric light pole. It was- surmised then that the deceased was Marvin Applewhite, who lived here for more than a dozen years. Letters received here establish the fact that the man was James Marvin Applewhite, a brother-in-law of B. L. Eddy, of Tillamook. Deceased had rela tives in this city. t Vigor and vitality are quickly given to the whole sstem by Hood's Sarsaparllla. The Coart Accepts His Statement, Gives Him Nine Months in Jrftl, and Frees C. C. Wood. There was an unexpected ending yester day in he Municipal Court In the cases where the two brothers, Elmer and C. C. Wood, of St Johns, were originally charged with stealing a miscellaneous col lection of articles from Hansen Bros.' sawmill and woodyard on the East Side, and storing the plunder in their scow lying in the Wllllamette River, off St Johns. In the first place, both brothers j against them. Elmer asserted that he had bought the articles from junk dealers, and then he admitted he was a thief, and cried and sobbed on the witness-stand. The chargo of larceny was withdrawn against C. C. Wood, as Elmer Wood took all the blame. C. C. Wood said that he I Is a Socialist and believes in the doctrine ui t-iUUlll, The brothers were defended by Daniel R. Murphy and John F. Watts, the prose cution being conducted by Deputy District Attorney Spencer. The latter made a nio- tlon that the charge of larceny against C. C Wood be dismissed, in view of the statements made by Elmer Wood, and to this Municipal Judge Cameron agreed. A. Hansen, a member of the firm of Hansen Bros., testified that parts of the mechan ism of a steam wood saw and other bits of machinery had been stolen from his firm's yard, and had been recovered by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow. The value of the articles was probably $50. With his shaggy hair and beard and ragged clothing. -"Elmer Wood mounted the witness-stand and said defiantly: "Yes, I took the stuff. I placed the ma chinery In- bags -and carried It to the scow. I never used a boat I want to say right here that my brother, C. C. Wood, did not know a thins- about, this matter. I told' him that I bought the i rtuff at Junk shops, and he believed me. My brother Is innocent" "You and yodr brother lived together, and you wish this court to believe that he did not know that you had been steal ing?" queried the Judge. "Yes, that's it" answered the witness. "What drove you to steal?" "Months ago I became crippled with rheumatism, and I thought my brother and I could get a good living if I went j around with a steam wood saw. I had i an old boiler anyway, and I looked around for some connecting machinery. I wanted It cheap, as I hadn't much money." "So you stole the machinery? You could not get it much cheaper," remarked the Judge. To the surprise of most of the spec tators in the courtroom, Elmer Wood bowed his face In his horny hands and sobbed out: "Yes, I stole. I am very sorry. Oh, dear." He was excused from testifying further. The other brother, C. C. Wood, proved to be a different witness. He looked at the lawyers with a humorous twinkle In his blue eyes, and a continuous grin play ing around the corners of his mouth. "I have lived about one month at my broth er s scow." he began. "Before tha I lived in California. Lately I havo been tinkering at a gasoline engine, and If the court allows me to ge I have me chanical work awaiting me. I did not know that my brother stole any of those things he took from Hansen Bros. I thought he bought them. Before this af fair happened I talked to him about the life he was leading, about his bringing goods home. But that has nothing to do with the present case." "Have you ever been arrested?" asked the Judge, curiously. "Yes, In California." "On what charge?" "Oh, it wasn't very much. It was be cause I slept in a railroad car." "Were you arrested before that time?" "Yes, I was arrested at Council Bluffs, la., because I slept in a car near the rail road station." "So you have only been arrested for sleeping?" asked the Judge. "He-he," said the witness, COME HERE NEXT YEAR PHILIPPINE SOCIETY MAY COME TO PORTLAND. , Effort Will Be Made to Induce It to Hold Its 1903 Convention 1a This City.

MRS. PUSS'S BRAVE DEED Saves Her Fonr Young; Kittens From Fiery Flames. A mother cat, "with four little kittens, was taken unawares Wednesday when workmen began to set fire to the rubbish remaining after pulling down the wooden shacks at Fourth and Alder streets. The workmen heard a plaintive "me-ow" pro ceeding from, the rear of the piles of wood, but search as they might they could not discover where thereat was. When the fire In the pile nearest the street had burned Itself out iirs. Puss was noticed on the top of a pile of timber, taking In her surroundings. Presently she ap peared bearing a kitten In her month, and the youngster was apparently in a lively state of alarm from the noise he mnrti W xran inrfn!lr rifttiosited nn the sidewalk, and the mother again plunged ; fan due to the Filipino Insurrection, un- through the smoke and succeeded in carry to Portland The convention this year will transact a great deal of business of Interest to volunteers. The most important will be the report of the committee to which was referred the resolution Indorsing the pro posed bill to give travel pay from Ma nila to San Francisco to all officers and enlisted men who s'erved In the Philip pines and were honorably discharged with out receiving such travel pay. The com mittee, of which General Irving Hale Is chairman, reports In part as follows: "In the earlier part of the campaign in the Philippines, a number were discharged at Manila and given travel pay to their homes In the United States. Later this practice was discontinued, and transpor tation was furnished to San Francisco, with travel pay from, that point to place of enlistment "Those who served throughout their terms of enlistment to the end of the Spanish-American War, and especially those who served voluntarily beyond that time, on account of the emergency situa ir.g out his three little brother kittens. By this time the old cat was about ex hausted wllh her tramp over the par tially burnfd timbers, and she sneezed with the smoke she had inhaled. Evi dently conscious that she had lost her home, and that the people she had lived with were gone, the cat mewed dlsrjjtlly, after all her heroism. "That cat deserves a good home," ob served a jolly-faced man In the crowd. '.Til take her In until her ship comes." So he seized the kittens, and the mother contentedly trotted after him to her new home. i Temple Beth Israel. Dr. Stephen S. Wise will preach this evening on "The Power of the Press."

"The members of this society were actuated by patriotic motives in enlisting for the war against Spain, and continu ing to serve in the unexpected war against the Filipino insurgents after the treaty of peace with Spain, and the expiration of their enlistments, and are therefore loath to take any action that would ap pear in the light of a demand upon the Government for extra compensation for such service. On the other hand, it would undoubtedly be a graceful and appropriate act on the part of the Government to show somo special recognition of this volun tary additional service In the Filipino War, which was of inestimable value In maintaining the supremacy of the United States untH new troops could be raised and transported to the Philippines. "For the above reasons the committee, while not favoring a bill to give travel pay to all who served In the Philippines at any time and under any conditions, which would practically amount to a FEAST OF ST.
