LOOT FIVE STORES
Burglars Make a Systematic
Raid at Clarkston, Idaho.
GET AWAY WITH PLUNDER
Police Arrest John Ward, a Travel
ing Horsetrader, With His Wife
and a Male Companion,
on Suspicion.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Juno 8. (Special.)
Burglars at an early hour this morning
mads a raid on the business houses of
Clarkston and succeeded in securing about
J200 in cash and other articles of value,
making their escape and leaving no clew
to their identity. In all, five of the larg
est stores in the town were entered, the
heaviest- lower being the Clarkston Com
mercial Company.
The burglars gained entrance to the
stores by breaking the glass In tha
doors and turning the night, latches, re
moving the money from the safes, which
were unlocked, then quietly making their
exit. From tracks found there is reason
' to believe that three men did the work.
They were evidently experienced crimi
nals, as their first act was to cross tele
phone wires so that the alarm could not
be sent to the county officials at Aspttn
City.
Sleeps While They Steal.
One remarkable instance of their success
was their work in breaking into the
Clarkston drug store and carrying away
the cash register., the proprietor of the
store remaining asleep in the back room
undisturbed. He did not discover his loss
until the hour for opening business ar
rived. ' '
Late tonight the Clarkston police, as
sisted by Lewiston officers, arrested John
"Ward and his wife and a young com
panion, named Aubrey, who were camped
below the bridge in Clarkston and who
are suspected of having been Implicated
in the burglaries committed there this
morning.
Ward is a farmer jockey, and he and
his party seem to be traveling, through
the country. They claim to be horse
traders, but the police think this is only a
blind. They deny all knowledge of the
crime.
Further Arrests Are Expected.
The police expect to make further ar
rests before morning.
A reward of $100 has been offered for the
arrest and conviction of the burglars.
FLOODS TIE UP RAILROADS
High Water in Montana Blocks
Traffic on Hill Lines.
BUTTE, Mont., June S. A Havre spe
cial to the Miner says: The flood situa
tion in Northern Montana has assumed
unprecedented proportions. Strenuous
efforts are being made by the officials
to rescue a half dozen passenger trains
on the Great Northern that are stalled
between washouts to the east of Havre.
Washouts to the west of Havre make
the railroad predicament more compli
cated. Despite a number of wrecks of
freight trains and work trains tho
railway headquarters have not re
ceived notification of any loss of life
or personal injury. A relief train sent
out of Glasgow could reach a point only
nine miles west. It reported that the
work train with a piledrlver that it was
sent to succor was "out of sight."
Between Savoy and Montauk, a work
train, consisting of 11 cars of gravel
Is reported ditched. Beaver Creek, near
Havre, is a mile wide and has washed
out the bridge at Pacific Junction, pre
venting any possible progress of trains
from the west to this point and of
south bound trains on the Montana
Central.
A Montana Central train due here at
6:40 this morning arrived at the Junc
tion tonight. Many of the passengers
have walked into the city.
Washouts and a cloudburst at Miles
City have caused the Northern Pacific
similar trouble.
TACOMA MAYOR UNCONVINCED
Indicates a Disposition to Veto the
New Saloon Ordinance.
TACOMA. Wash.. June 8. (Special.)
Mayor Wright today again declined to
say positively that he would veto the new
saloon ordinance, but ho made a state
ment that makes It appear certain that he
will disapprove the measure. I'he Mayor
in discussing the section pertaining to
saloon and restaurant boxes, said:
"Nearly all of our best restaurants are
run in connection with saloons, and they
all have boxes. Tha proprietors put these
boxes In to Increase their patronage. If
business men meet at lunch-time to talk
over business, or if politicians meet to
talk politics, they want a box where there
' Is some privacy. If a man take his fam
ily out to dine, he invariably takes a box
where they are not subjected to the public
gaze.
"This ordinance will not baffle tha
vicious characters. I cannot see where,
the abolition of the boxes will do any
good.
"In my opinion, the raising of the li
cense from tax) to $1000 will not elevate
the moral atmosphere of the saloons.
What we call 'dives' are the natural re
sult of conditions. They are run to suit
, their patronage."

Bitterly Protests Against Law's In

Robert Patton, a Neighbor.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., June 8.-A. A

Aberdeen three years ago, was hanged
at the penitentiary this morning at 5:26
o'clock. The execution was successful in
every detail. The man's neck was broken
by the fall and death came in 13 seconds.
Although 60 years old, he bravely met
death. After the black cap had been
placed over his head Armstrong said:
"This execution is premature and isn't
right. A greater injustice is being done
me and my people than ever I had done.",
Armstrong and Patton were ranchers
and neighbors, and the two became In
volved in a dispute over the dividing lines
of their respective holdings. There had
been frequent quarrels, and Armstrong
had been under arrest one or more times
for assaulting Patton. The day of the
murder Patton was chopping wood on
land on which Armstrong claimed he had
no right. The men were on opposite sides
of the Wynooche River, and Patton re
fused to leave the place on threats made
by Armstrong. He even remained after
the firing of one or two shots from a
rifle. Finally he received the fatal
wound,
Armstrong was later convicted by a
Jury and Judge Irwin sentenced him to
be hanged July 1, 1!K4. A motion for a
new trial was overruled, and Armstrong
was brought to the penitentiary April 20,
1904. sentence being suspended whtn an
appeal was taken to the State Supreme
Court, May 25, 1905, and Armstrong was
taken back to the county Jail at Aber
deen and held pending the appeal to the
higher court.
In April of this year the court decided
that he had been given a fair trial, and
directed the Superior Judge to again pro
nounce the death sentence. Armstrong
was brought to the prison again April 26.
Since that time he had been kept in close
confinement. He had absolutely refused
to talk about the crime and had denied
admittance to newspaper reporters.
Up to 5 o'clock this morning Armstrong
was confident that he would secure a re
prieve from Governor Mead.

suddenly today, just outside the Pendle
ton city limits, and entered into mortal
combat with the tin emgy of a negro sit

tillery alarmed the neighbors, who sent
for the City Marshal. He pacified Robb
and locked him up.

PLftN M INVASION
Seattle Manufacturers Would
.Seek Markets in Oregon.
VISION OF RAINBOW HUE
Will Ask Northern Pacific to
Grant Low Rate to Portland.
Retaliation for Special
Alaska Tariff.
SEATTLE. June 8. (Special.) Fear that
Alaska buyers will become suspicious and
cast about for new sources of supply is
the principal reason the Seattle Manu
facturers' Association has for disregard
ing the special rate granted by the North
ern Pacific to Portland shippers engaged
in the Alaska trade. If Seattle makes a
protest, the Manufacturers' Association
argues in an official report, it win indi
cate to the Alaskan merchants that this
city fears competition and is trying to
bottle up the trade of the north. Such an
impression allowed to go out would have
a disastrous effect upon Seattle's trade
with Alaska.
The Manufacturers' Association is not a
unit in this stand, but the majority, which
has interpreted the situation in that man
ner, has a new suggestion. This majority
wants a fight Inaugurated, either before
the State Railroad Commission or the In
terstate Commerce Commission, to com
pel the Northern Pacific to grant a simi
lar rate on Seattle goods sent from this
city to Portland. With such a ruling the
manufacturers hold they would be able to
compete with Portland along the Harri
man lines in Oregon. -
Local jobbers made a fight at the time
the rate was announced to have it an
nulled, but were turned down by Traffio
Manager J. M. Woodruff. To them Mr.
Woodruff intimated pretty plainly that
the Northern Pacific preferred to grant an
exceedingly low rate to Portland shippers
interested in the Alaska trade and have
goods shipped by way of the Sound, rather
than permit a rival steamship line to be
established from the Oregon metropolis.
Then the Manufacturers' Association
stepped in and disclaimed any connection
with the fight against the low rate. The
secret of this attitude has just been al
lowed to slip out In an official report sub
mitted to the organization. Something of
the same kind must have occurred to the
Jobbers, for they are silent now.
COUNCIL ACTS AS PEACEMAKER
Attempts to Unite Hill and Harri
. man on Depot Franchise.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 8. (Special.)
The Council committee on corporations
today asked the Hill and Harriman inter
ests to confer with property-owners in
the district through which the Oregon &
Washington is asking a franchise to
reach its proposed passenger station. In
the hope of effecting a compromise. A
faction of the property-owners has agreed
to donate a strip of land through their
property to keep the Harriman road off
of Fourth avenue. The Great Northern,
owning two blocks through which such
a line would have to pass, is objecting
to having a public street opened with
railroad privileges.
The Hill line is willing to grant a rail
road right of way for all lines, but the
property-owners cannot see any advan
tage in this solution. The Harriman line
adheres to its request for a franchise
on Fourth Avenue.

Into Hospital.
FOISON SEATTLE PEOPLE
Guests of . the Otis, Fashionable
Family Hotel, Have a Harrow
ing Kxperience Ptomaine
Poisoning Suspected.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 8. (Special.)
Thirty guests of the Otis, one of the
city's most fashionable boarding-houses,
were poisoned Wednesday at noon by
eating raspberry tarts. Within a few
hours after luncheon no less than a
dozert of those who had partaken of the
meal were seized with violent vomiting,
accompanied by all the other symptoms
of ptomaine poisoning. The guests who
did not eat the tarts were not affected,
but within eight hours after the tarts
were eaten 30 of the guests were 111 in
their rooms. Although most of them
have recovered, a few are still confined
to their beds and the majority of them
are yet unable to attend to their usual
business and social duties.-
Waiter Falls In Swoon.
One of the Chines, dining-room boys
took umbrage at the fact that the guests
attributed their sickness to the tarts,
and in the presnce of some of the guests
who were not affected, ate one of them
to prove that they were good. The mo
ment he ate the tart he fell to the floor
in a swoon. When he recovered his
senses he was seized with violent vomit
ing, and had to be carried to his sleep
ing room.
The managers of the Otis refuse to
give out the list of those who were
taken sick. Superior Judge Boyd J. Tall
man was among them, however, and is
unable to hold court. Percy H. Davis,
a Cherry-street Jeweler, is still unable
to get down town to hia store. Mrs.
Martha W. Fulton, mother of Walter S.
Fulton, a well-known lawyer, Is still
very 111 from, her experience.
Councilman's Mother III.
Among those most affected was the
mother of Irving T. Cole, ex-member of
the Legislature, and now City Council
man. She is still confined to her bed.
Manager Hagen admitted that one
'woman was still in bed suffering much
pain, but he declared her trouble was
due to eating too many of the tarts.
Had the tarts been served in the even
ing, the number of those poisoned would
have been much larger. At noon many
of the guests dine down town.

MAY SETTLE THE STRIKE.
City Federation Will Confer With
the Steamship Owners.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 8. It was an
nounced this evening that a committee
from the City Front Federation will meet
the steamship owners Monday morning in
an effort to settle the sailors' strike,
which has resulted in a general lockout of
the entire waterfront of the steamship
and shipping men. Mr. Furuseth, pres
ident of the Sailors' Union, has declared
that the sailors are in favor of arbitration
and are willing to meet the steamship
men on a fair basis. The ships that are
now sailing with so-called full crews are
badly crippled, says Furuseth.
"It comes to us from reliable sources,"
he declared, "that many of these vessels
have not even half enough men, and that
In many instances mere boys and green
landsmen are taken on board by the own
ers." It was reported tonight that many more
nonunion men were shipped yesterday all
along the front. No trouble was expe
rienced, however, and none is looked for.
The stevedores are still locked out, and
much suffering la expected if this con
tinues. NATHAN M. KIMBALL DEAD

IMITATION JEWELS.
New Gem From Rhodesia Diamonds
in Canadian Woods.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
"Above 5,000,000 worth of Imitation
Jewels are made in the United States
every year," said Herbert M. Fisher. "A
great many people think that paste Jew
els, aa they are called, are nothhlng but
pure glass, but in this they are mislaken.
The stuff is paste, called strass, which
differs from ordinary glass in having
one of the metallic oxides as a base.
"These oxides give the gem its color.
The diamond being colorless, none of the
oxides are used. The ruby is made by
mixing the strass with a small propor
tion of glass antimony, purple casslus
and an extremely small particle of gold.
Sapphires are made with strass and co
balt, the emerald by oxide of copper and
oxide of manganese, the amethyst with
cobalt and oxide of manganese and the
garnet with purple of casslus.
"A new gem, light blue in color, has
lately been discovered In Rhodesia. It is
believed that the gem will become fash
ionable. Few of the stones are seen in
New Tork, but a great many have been
shown in London. Perhaps you didn't
know that there is supposed to be a great
diamond field up in the northern part of
Central Canada.
"Diamonds are constantly being found
in the woods of Canada, and last year a
stone, picked up by an Indian, was sold
to a white man for 85 cents. The white
man hurried to Detroit with it and got
$1500 from a Jeweler for his investment. It
is believed by scientists that the diamond
bed exists in the north, and that the
diamonds were brought into the south
central part by prehistoric glaciers."
