A Wifeless Message of Importance
TO PRUDENT PEOPLE
These days are not only of grand openings and beautiful showings of new Spring and Summer goods of absolute fashion
correctness, but sale days of decided moneys-aving possibilities as well, the importance of which cannot be too strongly
emphasized. At the commencement of the season, when the assortments are complete and the new things most in de
mand, our poods are not marked at prices as high as we think we might get, but are offered now at our uniformly low
percentage of profit We know" we save you money, not only in the price you pay but in the quality we sell, for nothing

PORTLAND'S SHOWING OF T
Novelty and Staple Dress Fabrics
For Spring and Summer A Congress of Fashion Is Assembled Here in Oar Jst-FIoor Annex.
The Dress Goods for Spring and Summer, representing a multitude of weaves, as wide in scope an variety as they are beautiful in
finish and design, beckon you to our counters these days. It is by far the most exhaustive showing Olds, Wortman & King have ever
made, surpassing in beauty and magnitude the best of our past, and with no counterpart west of the Atlantic trade centers. Fabric after
fabric gets first view. Color after color and design upon design vie with each other for supremacy. A bewildering maze of artistic
enlevements.
Makers have outdone themselves to create individuality and enhance the beauty of their product. Foreign designs and our own
American meet at this Dress Goods Store, a symposium of which we are very proud. A charming array of colorings, of course, as varied
and pretty as the sun s rays, clacks, too, the whole family of black, tried and true. Indeed it matters little in which direction your
fancy may trend, this store is in position to serve you best, both in quality and price.

ST. LOTUS, April 2WThe leaders In the
txxxUs investigation. Circuit Attorney
TFolk and Attorney-General Crowe, Joined
forces today to conduct the local Inquiry
which will adjourn temporarily tomorrow
Afternoon.
During the day an emissary from Lieutenant-Governor
Lee called on Mr. Folk
with the proposlUon that. If an agree
ment could be reached to question Mr.
Lee only about the alum deal, he would
appear before the Grand Jury. Mr. Folk
Informed his vWtor that he would not
promise to restrict himself In any part of
the Inquiry, and the conference was fruit
less. Robert E. Lee, brother of the absent
official, received another letter from Lieutenant-Governor
Lee, which was mailed
In Chicago. In further explanation of
his brother's absence. Mr. Lee said:
"He will remain away until I think it
advisable for him to come back. One
reason that he Is away Is that he does
not want to ansist the St. Louis Grand
Jury In Indicting for perjury certain
mebera of the Legislature who have tes
tified before It. My brother Is not vindic
tive and. though these men have proved
themselves his bitter enemies, he does
not want to assist in Indicting them."
Mr. Lee concluded by Insisting that his
brother does not fear Indictment himself.
It Is predicted that at least ten State
Senators will be Indicted for either per
jury or bribery before the Inquiry Is con
cluded here and at Jefferson City.
Evidence secured by the grand Jury
today showed that a committee of local
commission men was sent to Jefferson
City for the purpose of killing the game
bill fostered by the Audubon Society.
The evidence was to the effect that J1000
was expended to kill the measure. Just
who expended or furnished the money has
not yet been learned.

SEW YORK. April 20. Police Inspector
McCluskey announced today that he was
convinced that the murdered man. whlse
body was found In a barrel last Tuesday
was Maduena Benedetto, 40 years old. of
Buffalo. A picture of the murdered man
has been positively Identified, the Inspec
tor said, by a brother-in-law of Benedetto.
The brother-in-law is Joseph de Prima,
and Is now serving a term In Sing Sing
Prison.
"I wish to eay," said the Inspector, "that
all stories stating that the murdered man
was mixed up In the Waterbury, Conn.,
strike, are absurd."
De Prima said his brotherln-law had
been In this country only two years. He
also accurately described the clothing
found on the murdered man and furnished
other information, the Inspector said, that
made the Identity positive In the minds
of the police officials.
Two additional Identifications of the
body as being that of Benedetto Madonla
were made today. VIncenzo Pecorano
said he knew Madonla two years ago.
when they both lived In Elizabeth. Sal
vatore Magllsl. a barber, made the sec
ond Identification. Easter Sunday Mado
nla visited bis barber shop, there shaved
himself and then told Magllsl that be
was going to Pittsburg and Chicago to
see about the addest of his brother-in-law.
This brother-in-law, according to Inspec
tor McCluskey. is De Prlmo, then al
ready In Sing Sing prison.
On Saturday last Inspector McCluskey

the chief told of De Prima Sunday a de
tective was sent to Sing Slcg with a phoi
tograph of the desd man and the Identi
fication was made.
Chief Flynn says tkat ho believes the
motive for the crime Is now clearly es
tablished. He thinks Madonla came down
here from his Buffalo home mainly to buy
counterfeit money, and secondly to get
possession of De Primo's effects. Jewelry,
and also some money due De Prlmo from
the workings of the band. It Is believed
that Madonla was held off for two or
three days In this matter; that It was
learned that he was about to put him
self In communication with the police or
the Government secret-service men. and
that In order to provide against this and
at the same time not seek to be afraid of
one single man. the decision was reached
to have him disappear. The murder ac
cordingly took place.
