FOUND SAFE OPEN
Superintendent Says He May
Have Been Careless.
OFFICE IS NOT LOCKED
yo Record lias Heretofore Been Kept
or. the Valuables of Prisoners
In . the Oregon State
Penitentiary-
SALEM, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) Who
stole Convict C. . R. Hilton's watoh from
the safe in the superintendent's office at
the State Penitentiary is the question
that is- occupying the attention of officers
at that institution. As stated In the dis
patches from Salem in today's Oregonian.
the watch was taken from Hilton when
he was brought to the prison and was put
in an envelope bearing Hilton's name and
placed in a box in the safe. So far as
Superintendent James knows, he is the"
only person who knows the combination
He received the figures from his prede
cessor. Superintendent J. D. Lee, and has
not Imparted them to anyone. .
In speaking of the matter today. Super
intendent James says there are a num
ber of ways In which the watch might
have been stolen. The office is. not )fept
locked, and officers, employes and trusty
convicts can go In. At night a trusty
convict cleans the office. Ordinarily, the
safe is kept locked, except when the
superintendent has occasion to open it to
gain access to papers or property kept
therein. He -usually closes it before leav
ing the room, but says that in a few In
stances hh may have3'eft It unlocked while
he stepped out for'a.fe'w moments to In
troduce a visitor or speak to prison offi
cials. On one occasion, two months -or more
ago, the superintendent returned, to the
offlpe orie morning and found ,the safe
door unlocked and -.partly open. He sup
posed at the time. that he must have for
gotten to lock it.
It seems practically certain that Hilton's,
watch, of 'tile value of $45. was taken
either by a trusty or by some person who
has frequent access to the office. No
stranger could get In at night, and no
stranger would dare to attempt such a
theft in the day time.
Because the loss of the watch- leaves
room for suspicion upon the honesty of
employes at the prison, strong efforts are
being put forth to discover the thlof. So
far as can be learned, suspicion has rested
upon no one in particular. To discover
the guilty person and prevent "his repeat
ing his offense is the desire of Superin
tendent James and others interested.
As stated in today's dispatches, the loss
of this watch and the finding of a ring
belonging to a convict in the pocket of the
superintendent's son will lead to the adop
tion of a system of records jaf property
taken from prisoners. In all probability,
when a prisoner is hereafter received, a
list will' betmade of his property, and this
list signed t? both the prisoner and the
officer taking charge of the proporty.
"With that kind of a record kept, there
can be no question about what property
a convict Is entitled to receive when he is
discharged.
Under the present methods, dishonesty
wou,ld be possible. u"pon .the part of either
-the -prisonbr or prispn-offlcjals. When a
anan las -fcerved 10ror 35 "years and has
Been two or -hrfee: prison-superintendents
m;Hnfl,S0iJw;couldass8rt that articles
of va'ltle were taken front him when such
wai not the fact.
On the other hand, a. aisTion.wjt' official
could appropriate property of a convict
and deny that it was ever received. In
such a case, the word of a. convict would
count for nothing. Governor Chamborlain
has directed that some suitable system of
records be adopted.
TACOMA BOAT . HAS SPEED
Nb Difficulty In Defeating Swift
Craft From Bay City.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. '20. (Special.)
The San Francisco motor-boat Union,
owned by James Carroll and" operated
by G. F. Lewis, of Seattle, looked as
though it wore standing still -today,
when the Tacoma motor boat TilUcum,
owned by John L. Roberts, wont out
against the visitor in a four-mile race.
The Tillieum simply toyed with the
Union. The Tacoma boat lod the pro
cession until Al-Ki Point was reached,
then put on a burst df speed and ran
ahead so fast that the boat had to e troll
along In front of the docks, thon loiter
back and pick up the Union to lead it
around the stakeboat, the Pattorson, a
Government survey boat.
The Tllllcum lias ,70-horsepower en
gines, the Union 50-horse power, but
rivalry between the two Is keen. Mr.
Campbell -helped run the Union and
C. A. Pabst had the Tillieum. In charge.
Before the boats left Tacoma for the
40-mile run the two tried out their
peed this morning and the TilUcum
ran right around the San Francisco
boat. The demonstration of Roberts" su
periority was complete.
Roberts is a former Walla Walla
man, who came to Tacoma a few years
ago to establish an iron works. He Is
an ex-State Senator.
I,ATE4CAIiIi FOR REFERENDUM
Albany Is Already Under Light Con
tract for 'Five Years.
ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) Al
bany Is" to have a referendum vote at
the biennial city election December 4. al
though the vote will be too late to avail
anything. By petition a number of peo
ple have protested against the latett con
tract with the Albany Water & Light
Company, and the petition asks that the
referendum be invoked to permit a vote
by the people.
At the last Tegular meeting of the City
Council an ordinance was pawed author
izing the Mayor and Recorder of the city
to enter fnto a new contract , with the
Water & Light Company for lighting, the
city. The ordinance fixed the price and
number of lights. Under the terms of the
contract, the lights are to be paid for at
the rate of $7, and the city is to use SO
lights. The contract covers a period of
live years.
Thl? is the feature that aroused the
protest The petition protests against a
contract for moro than two years' dura,
tlon, which Is the length of the official
life of a Councilman. Just what effect
the petition will .have Is uncertain. The
contract ha? been signed by the light
company, and by the proper officials on
behalf of the -city. The vote would be
futile for purposes other than giving an
expression of public feeling for or against
the contract.

Experiment Station, and interesting
lectures along agricultural and horti
cultural lines were delivered by Profes

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 20. (Social.)
The Pacific Railroad, owned by Milwau
kee Interests. Introduced a franchise or
dinance in the City Council tonight, ask
ing permission to lay tracks from the
southerly to thc northerly city limits,
along the water front. As faras Massa
chusetts street the railroad proposes- to
run parallel to Colorado; from that point
to Mercer It desires, in a general way.
to follow the franchise given the Colum
bia & Pugct Sound, a Hill corporation,
and from Mercer to the city limits wants
a single-track line on Railroad avenue.
Generally speaking the ordinance covers
.the tide flats In the south end of thc city.
Terminal track privileges arc asked on
tldeland blocks 339 and 235 thc first twp
tracts the Seattle road bought in this
city. It Is requested of thc Council that
the privilege of erecting and maintaining
a passenger station and tracks be allowed
on block 333. Thc latter request is a
bluff, for the Milwaukee wants to use the
Great Northern's union passenger sta
tion, and on high Hill authority it is
stated that this request has already
been made. Milwaukee representatives
say it has not.
Block 333 is on First avenue South, be
tween Atlantic and Massachusetts. Trav
elers to Seattle will recognize this de
scription by recalling It is Just below thc
Pacific Coast Company's new yard shops.
The pledge Is made in the franchise that
the company will begin work within three
months and complete a line to the pas
senger station site within two years.
. lively Fight Before Council.
There will probably be a fight between
the North Coast and the Pacific Railroad
for franchises In Seattle when the Gould
Interests behind the North Coast attempt
to forco early action on their applica
tion filed last Monday. The Milwaukee,
which is back of thc Pacific Railroad,
was not readj- for a franchise when the
more active North Coast stepped la
It Is known with absolute certainty that
the Gould interests control the North
Coast Railroad. It Is known too that the
only reason which prevents an immediate
official announcement to this effect is
the struggle over rights of way and
mountain passes ' between the Gould in
terests and the Milwaukee Thc Gould
control has been kept under cover to
allow the North Coast to -push through
a definite location and not to hamper
the road in acquiring rights of way.
The fact that the North Coast has an
option on the Tacoma Eastern, which
will expire January 1 is known. R. E.
Strahorn has declared his road might
take over the Tacoma Eastern and It is
now well settled that within three weeks
the Tacoma Eastern will either bo pur
chased or the present owners will know
that it is to be delivered by the end of
the year.
Tldelands Bought nt Tacoma.
Tldelanda to be used by the Gould sys
tem in Tacoma have been purchased in
that city by tho Tacoma Eastern. In
Seattle tho line has options on the
grounds it will want for terminal pur
poses. It may be an arrangement will
bo made with thc Hill roads for sharing
terminal facilities: something thc Gould
people want to do. In any event the
franchises of the Groat Northern provide
for switching cars of a rival line. Simi
lar provision Is made In thc North Coast's
franchise.
Under the name of the North Coast
Railroad construction work will be car
ried on in this stale. Within a short
time, probably early x noxt month, the
North Coast will be reorganized, Gould
men will appear in the directorate and
the capital stock will be increased ade
quately to carry on building operations.
To avoid thc heavy rail charges for
construction materials carried across the
continent the Gould system will trans
port most of Its railB to this coast by
steamers or sailing ships. From Tacoma
these building materials will be for
warded by the Tacoma Eastern to thc
end of that line and may be distributed
in Eastern Washington, if construction
is pushed there, as well, by other rail
'lines. Construction work between Ta-
.coma and Seattle will probably begin
about thc first of the year, or as soon as
right of way matters can be sottlod.
Tacoma Eastern Has Franchise.
It has not yet been determined whether
franchises will be noeded la Tacoma to
permit thc company to roach their tide
land terminals. The Tacoma Eastern has
a franchise that somo attorneys hold Is
sufficient. If It Is decided new franchises
are required. they will be asked within
a month either In thc name of the North
Coast or the Tacoma Eastern.
A franchise was asked this week from
the County Commissioners for a railroad
from Seattle through Renton and Ifsa
quah to Snoqualmle Pas. Robert "H. Coe,
who asked thc franchise, is unknown here
and it Is not believed he Is Identified with
either the Milwaukee or Gould lines. Thc
North Coast has been more active In the
Natchez and Cispus Passes than olse
wherc and the fact that the company pro
poses to use thc Tacoma Eastern in build
ing across thc mountains shows pretty
plainly that a southern pass Is sought.
As a matter of fact both the North Coast
and Milwaukee have decided upon thc
pass that will be adopted, but neither
will expose Its hand. Prior occupancy is
wanted and each road is suspicious of
tho other.
Road Must Be Rebuilt.
i Thc Tacoma Eastern will have to be
rebuilt; in fact it Is known to be thc
Intention of thc North Coast to rebuild
thc lino when It Is taken over. Thc
grados on the line are excessive and the
curves too sharp. The minimum grade
will be maintained and reconstruction of
the lino will follow.
At the outset It is understood the North
Coast will build a srcltchback over the
mountains but two milos of tunnel work
will be done for the permanent crossing.
Engineers for thc road claim to have
found a route that will give thorn the
lowest grade possessed by a line crossing
the Cascades.
From Seattle thc line Is to be built to
Tacoma. the Tacoma Eastern will take
them to cither Natchez or Cispus Pass;
thence to North Yakima through the
Yakima Valley to Wallula and then to
Walla Walla; thence through tho Blue
Mountains to the Snake River, to meet
the eastern line which has beon surveyed
to that point.

VANCOUVER, Wash.. Nov. 20.
(Special.) A man named Brooks shot
and killed Adolph Miller, a woodhaul
er, today at about 2 o'clock, about one
half mile from RIdgefleld. The shoot
ing seems to be a clear case of cold
blooded murder, as Brooks admitted to
Prosecuting Attorney W. W. Sparks he
came here to kill Miller, and was glad
he had done it.
Brooks spent considerable time in
RIdgefleld and vicinity last February,
and at that time had trouble with
Miller, who. Brooks alleges, tried to
"do him up with the unions." At this
time in a quarrel Brooks shot at Millor
and afterward left for the Big Bend
country. He returned to RIdgefleld
Sunday, and made the statement that
he came back to get Miller.
The shooting occurred at a wood
camp near RIdgeficld. After Brooks
had done the killing he came to RIdge
fleld and was met here by a posse of
men from the camp, headed by C- T.
Egge. the camp foreman, who on sight
of Brooks covered him with a shotgun
and told him to throw up his hands.
Brooks made no resistance.
Sheriff Blesecker was sent for. and
In company with Prosecuting Attor
ney W. W. Sparks and Coroner Smith,
left tonight for RIdgefleld. They will
bring the murderer to Vancouvor,
where he will be lodged In jail.

Returning to Olympla Home After
Five Year's Wandering, Charles
Whlttlcy Is Easily Induced

After traveling all over the United

Whlttley not long ago returned to Te
nlno to visit and help his aged father, but
the old gentleman declined the aid of a
son who had run away from prison, and
ordered the young man to give himself
up. Fear of arrest still haunted him and
the escaped convict was easily convinced.
He wired Warden Kees of his desire to
surrender and the official notified Chair
man M. F. Klncald. of thc Board of
Control.
At the Penitentiary Whlttley was a
trusty. His duty was to operate a coal
cart bringing coal Into the "Penitentiary.
He says that a prison barber named
Spotts tried to get him to conceal him
In the coal cart so as to allow him to
escape Whlttley refused several times
and he alleges that Spotts finally threat
ened to cut his throat If he did not help
him.
Fearing the keen edge of the razor.
Whlttlej- decided that he would rather
run away himself than help thc barber
to escape, and accordingly did so. No
great effort was made to apprehend
Whlttley when he escaped. Whlttley was
sent up from Cowlitz County for burglary.

Whatever a stove or range ought
to do, it ought to do 'well. To
bother with one that is-difficult to
manage, that does not work prop
erly and needs repairs soon and
often is a mistake. The Charter
Oak is a model of what a stove
or range should be. It needs very
little fuel, is easily kept in order, is
an ornament to the kitchen, and
its durability is remarkable, and it can be had for a reasonable price.
