THIEVES AT WORK
Burglars Operate in North
western Part of City.
SEVEN HOUSES ARE ROBBED
Slldnlsrft Marauders Take Only
Money or Jeyrelry and. Leave no
Clew for the Police Doora
and Windovrs Icft Open.
Nlghthawk burglars operating vrfclle
other people slept have broken Into seven
houses recently in the northwestern sec
tion of the city, and have easily got away
with $371 in money and a -watch etc,
without leaving a clew tor the police to
work on. Those who have been robbed
are: F. HIgler, 1092 Thunnan street, $125
in money, and a gold watch valued at $40;
M. I. Holbrook, 1166 Thunnan street, $T0
in money and a Canadian Pacific railroad
ticket from St. Paul to this city and
return: M. Dobie, 1164 Thunnan street, $6
in money; residence of John "Wortman, 181
North Twenty-third street. $30 in money;
O. B. Stubbs, 723 Qllsan street, $25 in
money; Peter Grant, 123 North Twenty
third street, $10 in money, and Pat Powers,
121 North Twenty-third street, $10 in
money.
From the nature of the plunder, mostly
money, and the proximity of location as
to the victims' houses, It is believed that
It is the same gang of organized burglars
who have committed all the seven robber
ies. The favorite plan has been to operate
in the dead of night, when the victims
were blissfully wrapped in slumber, effect
ing an entrance by forcing a window or a
door, and stealing the money by forcing
bureau drawers or going through victims'
pockets. At other times, the robbers
have boldly gone into houses in day time,
and helped themselves by walking through
the open door and helping themselves to J
what they fancied. Last Thursday nignx
the robbers attacked ilr. Doble's house,
but had to be content with small booty.
One night later they made their greatest
hauls at Mr. RIgler's and Mr. Holbrook's
places, and here they departed with about
$290 all told, although what chance a thief
will have In eafely disposing of a railroad
ticket is difficult to fathom. The burglars
are no doubt experienced artists in their
peculiar line, for they carefully avoided
taking any silverware or bric-a-brac that
would be recognized if they tried to sell
It to a pawnbroker or dealer in second
hand goods, provided the person buying
the goods were honest. Silverware Is too
bulky, and the burglars knew also that
they ran a risk of policemen seeing them
carrying a bundle at the dead of night.
A strange man who does not carry a par
cel is not likely to be stopped after mid
night, If he quietly -walks on and minds
his own business.
In the cases of the "Wort-nan, Grant and
Powers robberies, these were not report
ed to the police. The police complain
that unnecessary temptation is thrown in
thieves' way by persons leaving their
front doors unlocked at night, and several -J
of their windows unfastened. A careful
watqh tIs kept of these conditions by pro
fessional burglars, who operate at the
first chance they get. Too late, the victim
finds out that he or she is robbed, and
then the police are called in. In cases
where only-money is taken It is next to
Impossible to discover the thieves, as
there Is no clew to be obtained from a
purchaser of the plunder. The police ad
vise all householders to lock all outside
doors at night, and to see that all -windows
are securely fastened. In that case,
the thieves will be compelled to use force
In effecting 'an entrance, and tho noise
made In the silent hours of the night will
"be sufficient to warn the householder to
be on his guard. Very few windows in
the residence section are equipped with
burglar alarms. More than one burglar
after being arrested has said that Port
land Is on "easy street" so far as op
portunity for effecting a robbery is con
cerned. "POLITICAL WOMAN
Here Is Another Incident Available
for Ferris Hartman.
Minneapolis Tribune.
It was hardly to be supposed that two
such strenuous persons as President
Koosevelt and Miss Rebecca Taylor, of
St. Paul, could get along smoothly in the
same Administration; and as, when a
collision occurs, the smaller and lighter
body necessarily flies off on a tangent,
under the Impact of the heavier, it is not
surprising that Miss Taylor has become
separated from the War Department, in
which she held a clerkship.
Miss Taylor Is known, more especially
In educational circles, in these parts, and
her faculty for getting into a row and a
rumpus with those placed in authority
above her Is an unpleasant memory in
the St. Paul School Board. She also
wields a facile pen, and here is where
temptation besets her and brings her
sometimes to grief. She finds it so easy
to critlcjse and to say sharp things In a
dashing way that she doesn't always stop
to consult the proprieties.
After she left St. Paul and obtained a
place in the Government service at Wash
ington she developed strong "antl" pro
clivities in connection with questions
growing out of the Spanish war. She
wielded her pen freely under the McKin- '
ley Administration; but President McKIn
ley, with the tact and disinclination to
.quarrel over trivial matters that charac
terized him, chose to ignore her and avoid
getting Into a row with a woman. So
sne was allowed to keep her place. Em
boldened by her long immunity, Miss Tay
lor appears to have infused a still more
peppery flavor into her published articles
condemning the Government policy, until
U.ey attracted the attention of Secretary
Root. In reply to an inquiry as to whether
she was the author of such and 6uch ar
ticles, the lady seems to have penned a
reply that was really impudent, and this
led to her prompt dismissal it Is said by
the direct command of President Roose
velt. Now the opposition in Congress have
pricked up their ears, so to speak, and el
evated their nostrils, scenting a choice
morsel of social or political scandal that
may he damaging to the Administration,
In accusing It of warfare on a -woman. It
a man had been In the woman's place and
acted as she did, he would have been dis
missed in about "a holy minute," and
would have found no champion. But
with a woman it Is different and this
raises the whole question of the employ
ment of women in public positions of a
political or seml-politlcal character. Wo
men seek to do the work of men, but
many of them decline to be governed by
the same rules ot discipline tnat are im
posed upon men. H requires a certain
amount and kind of courage to risk a
quarrel with a woman, even when she is
palpably in the wrong. The gentle and
courteous McKinley shrank from it; but
Root and Roosevelt are men of a differ
ent standard no less chivalrous, perhaps,
according to their Ideals, but of too pos
itive and abrupt disposition to allow
themselves to be trifled with. At any
rate, they have dared the encounter, and
by so doing have probably put Miss Tay
lor in line for the lecture platform. As
for the storm which they have brought
upon their own devoted heads, it will
blow over in time.

The New Africa, published in Liberia,
said recently that among the natives of
the Interior one of the most effective
arguments against Christianity Is the
European dress. The educated blacks In
West Africa are beginning to 'protest
against the practice of Introducing Euro

Tho Weekly News, of Sierra Leone, re
cently asserted that the health of many
of the young women along the coast was
being Impaired on account of the notion
they had imbibed that it is pretty to
have a small waist. The writer assures
the women that they cannot expect to
escape tho perils of childbirth if they
persist In tight lacing. Ho adds: "Tho
forms of our aboriginal women are beau

European picture galleries. This is tho
shape of our aboriginal sisters who havo

Another article In the samo newspaprr
said a while ago that out of every 1000

Present Price in Some.
NOME, Alaska, June 4. (To the'Edltor.)
I enclose herewith a description of our
voyage on the Nome City to Nome, which,
I think, will prove of -interest to your
readers:
We boarded the Nome City, bound for
Nomf, April 21, but she did not pull out
vnfll Friday morning. April 23, at 12:30.
Her commander. Captain Daniels, has
shown marked ability by the way in which
he steered her through and around great
ice floes. We have 123 passengers aboard,
those from Portland feeing: Mr. and Mrs.
T. A. Sutherland; Mr C. C Cllne. Earl
Cltne and Charlie Hoxle. Mr. Cline has
a large store in Nome, selling paints, oils,
doors, window-cases, etc He started In
1900, rnd has been very successful ever
since. His son, Earl, is going to help his
father.
There are a- number of very wealthy
passengers on board, going on their last
voyage to settle up their business in
Alaska.
On Friday morning, April 25, at 10 o'clock
we put a stowaway ashore at Neah Bay,
Cape Flattery. The weather Is fair, but
still there are a. number seasick.
Saturday. April 25 A passenger threat
ened to kill a waiter because he would
not give him a beefsteak. The passenger
might be excused, when it is known that
he was more or less under the weather,
tnd not responsible for tho threat.
Sunday, April 27 It has. been raining
off and on all day. This is the first day
we saw the guelno, a species of bird
called the Honolulu Pilot. They will
only come within about 200 miles of shore.
They cannot rlso If caught and placed on
deck.
Monday, April 28 Very stormy. A
great number were very sick today. A
Mother Carey, or sea pigeon, followed us.
Tuefday, April 23 This Is a fine day.
with the exception of a hail 8torm in the
afternoon. We saw two whales today, tho
first to be seen on this voyage.
Wednesday, April 30 It is squally to
day, but fine. Saw some more whales.
Thursday, May 1 We are having nlco
weather today. Every ono feeling pretty
good. There were four whales seen, one
coming close to the ship.
Friday, May 2VThe sea is very rough
today, consequently the passengers are
somewhat upset again, and there are very
lew about. The tables look rather lone
some, end the food remains . untouched.
Those who are able to be about remain
Indoors, as the decks are awash.
Saturday, May 3 As.lt Is too misty to
attempt to make the pass, we laid to
aboutJL A. M., and hooted anchor. At 3

UNIVERSITY.
SALEM. Or.,June 10. Mis Mary
Magdalene Pereeful, winner of tho
Alvan F. Waller prize of $20 at
Willamette University this year. Is'
a Portland girl, and a member of
the 1002 graduating class from the
normal department ot the Salem
University. The Alvan F. "Waller
prize of a $20 gold coin Is given an
nually. In honor ot the founder of
the unhersity, by Hon. T M.
Gatch, ot Corvallla. to the student
passing the best examination In
either constitutional history or Latin
grammar. Miss Pereeful took the
examination In constitutional his-,
tory In competition with two clasa-
mates. The questions, 0 In num
ber, were prepared by Professor -Edward
Cbannlng. of Harvard "Univer
sity, and .Miss Pereeful received a
grado -of 90.
A. M. we sighted- the extreme southern
end of Uhlmak Island. It "is" called an
Island, but in reality it is a submerged
peninsula. Whaleboats cannot cross here
at low tide. Today we sighted a three
masted sealing schooner the Urarjus, of
San Francisco. The most prominent point
oftho Uniraak Pass Is called the Scotch
Cape.
Sunday, May 4 At 2 P. M. today we
sighted the first Ice. Everybody'well. and
all on deck. Interest began to-be shown-
now, for we had something else beside
water to gaze upon In the latter part
of the afternoon we saw, at a little dis
tance, three walrus and seven seals. There
was one pure white seal close to the boat,
and we all had a fine view of It. It never
attempted lo move, though we blew the
whistle.
Monday, May 5 We are now about 1S3
miles from Nome. At 3 P. M. we sighted
the steam, whaler Jeanette, and passed
her without saluting. Now we strike solid
ice. and have to turn back. It looks as
though we are doomed to remain here
some time. When we neared the Jean
ette, of which Captain Kellogg is in com
mand, they sent the mate aboard to speak
with our captain. The Jeanette Is from
San Francifico, and has been out since
March. They had captured two whales.
We lay at anchor that night.
Tuesday, May C We are now about 110
miles from Nome, and are In sight of St.
Lawrence Island. The ice is more or less
rotten, and we are plowing through it.
Our boat being sheathed with Australian
iron bark, the Ice does not harm us.
Wednesday, May 7 Today Is a
day long to be remembered by the pas
sengers of the Nome City. As we steered
Into great floes of somewhat solid Ice,
right ahead of us, a few hundred yards
from our boat, was a. sight long to be re
membered. What we saw was a herd of
?bout 70 walrus. The captain stopped the
boat, and a number of men landed on the
Ice with their guns; meaning business.
As the reports ot the guns were heard, loud
rearing was also heard from the frightened
walrus. TLey were cornered on the Ice
and could not get away very well. Five
were shot in all, but as the captain kept
blowing the whistle for the boys to return,
only three heads were secured, the other
dead walrus left floating In the water.
One baby walrus was secured alive, and
brought on board. The mother was
killed while trying to protect her young.
She would stand by her baby, and roar
pitcounly. The baby barks like a dog.
and is only about two weeks old. It
Weighs about 150 pounds. The hide Is
Hcmcwhat like that of an elephant. It
Hkco to be petted! and goes to sleep while
ono it stroking him. It was a beautiful
night to watch the mother walrus standing
by her young, fearing nothing. One time
thero were several walrus on a cake of
Ico a few yards from our boat, and the
captain blew the whistle. They nearly
all -went Into the water, with the excep
tion of a mother and her baby. She would
tart to go, then look at the baby and
turn back, and cover him over, never
leaving him.
About a mile farther on we saw scat
tered about eight different herds of walrus
on the Ice, and a good number In th
wnter. In each herd there were about 60
walrus. It was a wonderful sight. This
sight alone was well worth the fare that
It cost to come on the first boat.
We are about 90 miles from Nome to
day. The weather Is fine, but foggy at
times.
Thursday. May 8 We have not made
much headway today, as we are nearly
Burrourded by solid Ice. St. Lawrence
Inland Is plainly seen. We started to go
couth of the Island, but found the Ice too
solid to plow through, so turned back and
sailed about 40 mile3 west, finding an open
ing. In the evening we anchored the boat,
starting again about 6 o'clock Friday
morning.
Friday, May S Wo are surrounded by
solid Ice, so will have to remain here
some time.
Saturday, May 21 Every since May 3
we have been fastened in solid Ice, float
ing with it. On May 21 wo were within
about eight miles of St. Lawrence Isl
and, and ahead of us were two Im
mense rocks, extending about 40 feet In
the air. At first they were mere specks,
and we thought they were a vessel, but
gradually we camo very near to them.
Everyone began to get somewhat anxious,
and got ready to go ashore If need be,
for the captain said If the wind did not
change we were fast drifting on tho Isl
and. But on May 23 the wind snuieo, ana
we began to drift fast away from St.
Lawrence Island. Today one can barely
see the island, and the rocks are mere
specks again. Last evening there was a
good deal of water near us, extending for
some distance, also this morning; but
the Ice soon closed in again, and 'only
small patches are to be seen here and
there.
I left oft writing this diary May 24. To
day is Wednesday, June 4. We have been
surrounded by solid ice all this time, until
last evening we commenced to try and
get out, as we could see water a great
distance ahead, and it being our only
hope to keep from being drifted with the
rapidly moving Ice Into the Arctic At
midnight we reached clear water, and
have been going at full speed ever since.
On the evening of May 31 we first sight
ed King Island. We kept gaining rapid
ly on. It, until Sunday night, Juno 1, we
were only about two miles from the
Island.
Thero was so much of interest to be
seen that night that nearly every one
was up until about 3 o'clock Monday
morning. At 20 minutes to 2 o'clock Mon
day morning we watched tho sun rise over
Cape Prince of Wales, like a "large
golden ball," the sky being beautifully
colored. To the northeast of us about 50
miles lay the IMomedo Islands; south of
us about two miles, King Island; east of
us. Cape Prince of Wales, and a little
east of King Island, Cape York.
Monday morning, June 2, about 7:30, we
sighted a boat Just south of Cape Prince
of Wales, resembling tho Portland, and
all are quite sure It is the Portland.
On Tuesday sre tried to speak with her
by our flags, but as she was so far away
could not make out any of her flags. Last
evening we could see her dimly, being
carried rapidly with the Ice toward the
Arctic
At 8 o'clock the evenlng of June 3 we
were' within 0 miles of the Siberian coast,
and could plainly see the mountains there.
We were in the Behrlng Straits, a quar
ter of a mile from a very large rock, called
Fair Weather Hock, near the Dlomcde
Islands. We are about 40 miles from Cape
Prince of Wales. Tho whole sea of Ice Is
traveling rapidly. We can see threo
whaleboats at the farthest end of the Dlo
mede Islands, near the Siberian coast.
King Island is almost out of sight.
June 4, 11 A. M. We have now come
close to Ice again, but arc going around
It. Saw two walrus this morning, a moth
er and her baby.
June 4. 7 o'clock in the evening We are
about 30 miles- from Nome, with some
heavy Ice between ua.
June 4. 9:30 P. M. We went around the
ice, and are now in clear water, within a
few miles of Nonie. and expect to be
there about 11 P. M. All are well on
board, with the exception of one of the
engineers, who they think has tho con
sumption. Mileage of various days, taken
until we encountered the ice: April 25,
from Seattle to Cape Flatten. 106 miles;
April 26,. 1S2 miles; April 27. 216 miles;
April 2S. 213 miles; April 29, 191 miles;
April 30, 200 miles; May 1, 215 miles; May
2. 208. miles; May 3, 190 miles; May 4,
235 miles; May 6, ISO miles.
We anchored near Nome at 12:30 A. M.
Thursday, June 5, and about 50 or more
small boats came to welcome us, and the
shouting and whistle-blowing were deafen
ing. A steam launch came several miles
out to meet us, we having been sighted In
Nome about 4 o'clock Wednesday after
noon. The Winter here has been rather cold,
and. there has been much snow.
There are good reports from Candle
Creek and also from Dexter. Dexter Is
reported to be very rich.
Eggs are selling at $17 and $17 50 a
case, and potatoes $10 a hundred. There
seems to be plenty of hay and grain on
the market.
The Elk arrived several days ago, and
the Government boat named Thetis ar
rived this morning. It Is said that she
will go and look after the Portland.
It Is quite warm here at present.
June 7 The Thetis left this morning to
go in search of the Portland.

and J. D. Miller, all except Harris living
In the town of Rutherfordton. Nr C, were
one Spring morning chasing a fox. "Jjf: was
a cool, crisp morning, and there was Just
enough dampness on the leaves and- grass
to enable the dogs to scent Reynard -without
making a break. The chase hjfd been
going on for two hours and mote, and the
40 dogs' In the pack had been-jaaking
the welkin ring. The fox was. tunning
around In a circle not over three" miles
across, as the hunters at sunrise ,ftad as
sembled on a knoll about the centeY of. the
circle which overlooked the territory- which
Reynard appeared to have circumscribed
for himself in his Jaunt with thejdOgs. The
music of the dogs was inspiring and the
race was perfect In almost evej" feature
that coes to make this sport the most de
lightful. The knoll overlooked "a ravine
about 100 yards distant fromjwfaere the
hunters had taken their stand. Abrosa the
ravine a giant and venerable cljestnut tree
had fallen, and the devastation of time
and the elements had caused the bark to
drop from the tree. Miller was .She leader
of the hunters, and while standing on the
knoll, as Napoleon did at Manfngo, Aus
terllts and Waterloo, he saw the fox come
Into sight with the dogs 400 pr. 500 yards
behind him. The fox ran straight to the
chestnut tree and disappeared therein. Up
to this time it was not-knowiP that the log
was hollow. The length of the chestnut
across the ravine was about ,75 feet. As
quick as the fox could have traveled
through the log he came out on the oppo
site fide of the ravine and made off
through the forest. The dogs ran to the
log and there lost the traU The hunt
ers watched them for a few.'mlnutes. and
then Miller called them across" the ravine
and put them on the trail, ajid away they
went In full cry after the foxjf
In about 30 minutes the fox came in
sight again with his tall up and showing
no sign of weariness. The dogs were some
what further behind than before. The
hunters watched the fox, and again he
ran Into the log and ,iut on the
opposite side. The dogs halted again
, and , were put on the- trail oy
Miller. The fox was gone about
30 minutes again, came back and again
ran through the log. This was the third
time the fox had gone through the log,
and Miller remarked that every time he
came out of the log he lodged as if he
had been rested and was fesh for the
race. The dogs were becoming wearied.
The chase had been going on for nearly
five hours, and after the, tgx made his
fourth entrance Into and exjt from the
chestnut log Miller went to -the end of
the log where the fox came out each time
and securely stopped it up. to about 30
minutes the fox ran Into the Jog for the
fifth time. Miller than stopped up the
other end of. the log and then c6t Into the,
log and extracted therefrom ffiree full
