WILL LOCK BAILIFFS ROOM Missing Secretary of Federal Grand Jury-Said to Have Been Ordered to Keep Away From Portland. The mystery surrounding the disappear ance and subsequent finding of Carl Phelps, clerk of the Federal Grand Jury, Is just as deep as ever. Government officials will make no state ment as to -what they think or suspect in regard to the matter. Yesterday nothing further could be learned as to his move ments since his disappearance on Friday afternoon or evening than was known on the day before. All that is positively known as to his movements is that he asked to be excused Xrom attendance on the Jury on Friday; that he left and was not seen from that time until ho was found in his room on Monday by an officer sent to search for him. The other members of the Jury do not like the way their secretary has deported himself, and it is said that, upon their request, connected with other reasons, it was ordered that his account against the Government for time served as Juror be drawn and he be paid. This action was taken yesterday, so it is said, and Phelps was ordered to return to his home and to stay there under pain of reprimand or worse should he return to Portland while the Jury remained in session. I'helps has not been seen around the Courthouse, and so far as it is known was not there yesterday. His present whereabouts is a mystery, though it is supposed lie followed the warning given him and returned to his home to wait in seclusion until after the work of the Jury was finished. Walls Have Ears. The Government officials have come to the conclusion that the walls of the Jury room are not the best In the world, and it has been discovered, that there is a crack in the partition between the main room and the Bailiffs room opening from It. In order to remove all temptation from spectators or others who might have a desire, to hear what was going on in the jury-room, it was yesterday ordered that the Bailiffs room be kept locked hereafter and no one allowed to go In except he be some one so entitled. The work of the grand Jury yesterday was short and of little moment. Owing to the sickness of District Attorney He ney, but little business was done. W. "W. Banks, finding he could not finish the ex amination of the witnesses from Fossil, who came to testify in the Butte Creek and livestock case, adjourned the sitting until this morning, when Mr. Heney will be able to resume bis work. Will Get Down to Business. It is expected that the work of today will finish up the Butte Creek Investiga tion, and that other questions of greater interest and more importance will be taken up at once and the work of the body hurried through to completion for this term, at least. Owing to the great demand being made upon the time of Mr. Heney fcy clients from San Francisco, it is possible that some matters which otherwise would have been brought up at this sitting will be passed over until the March term of the jury. The more important cases to be in vestigated, however, will be finished and indictments returned before adjournment, it is thought. SERVED WABBANT ON TTTWSTnVF Holbrook Postmaster Took Wrong Po tatoes and Got Into Trouble. J. D. Stevens, merchant, postmaster and Northern Pacific agent at Holbrook, Or., believing that the charge of larceny was to be placed against him, came into Justice Itcld's court yesterday and found his belief to be true. A warrant had been sworn out against him upon information filed. charging him with the larceny of five sacks of potatoes from the Holbrook Mercantile Company, of Holbrook, the value being $5.80. Mr. Stevens was reieasea on nis own recognizance to appear for trial on Febru ary 7. "It is simply a case of bulldozing," said Mr. Stevens. "These people tried to buy me out at their own price a while ago, and when I refused to sell they said they would drive me out. I never stole their potatoes. The whole affair was a mistake. but they are taking advantage of it to try to get me into trouble. Last Thursday I ordered five sacks of potatoes from Port land on Friday morning when I went to set my freight I saw some potatoes there and thought they were mine. 1 took part of them to the store, but next day the po tatoes I had ordered came and I found then that the first lot belonged to the Hoi brook Mercantile Company. I replaced those I had taken from the freight shed and notified the other people. They have never removed their potatoes, but instead have brought a charge of larceny against me. "Will I fight them? Well. I guess I will." BEAN-STATE EXHIBIT. Superintendent of Building Named and State Displays Shipped. WARREN. Mass.. Jan. 24. (Special.) C.
