I ' THIEVES ARE PERSISTENT EAST SIDE TAILOR HAS BEEN BOBBED FIVE TIMES. Burglars Make Repeated Raids on His Store, Choosing Only the Most Expensive Goods. Five times has T. Sculze. the merchant ' tailor at 373 East BurnsWe street, been robbed, and the last robbery happened yesterday morning about 2 o'clock. Twice (his week his place of business has been broken into. Tuesday morning when he came to his store Mr. Sculze discovered that $y worth of suitings had been stolen and one of the front windows smashed. Again yesterday morning he made the s-ame unpleasant discoyery. Another large pane of glass in the frnt door was broken, and several bolts of cloth were missing, making his losses this week nearly iKO. A man rooming on the third story of the building across the 6treet heard a noise In front of the store early Friday morn ing and on lobklng out saw two men at work there. He did nothing, but went to sleep. -Mr. Schulze thinks that he is a marked man for robbery. "They are trying to put me out of business." he said. "All my profits have been eaten up by these repeated burglaries." When he had his place of business on Union avenue he was robbed by whole Bale, one-half of his stock having been hauled away in one. night. His loss then ran up to $90. Since he has been in business on East Burnside street his losses have amounted to between $400 and BOO in goods taken by burglars. Since and Including the first robbery ha has lost over Jl'iort. There is probably no case In the his tory of Portland that parallels this one. where a business has been marked for robbery, as evidently has Mr. Sculze. The goods taken were invariably selected with care. The suitings were kept on tables in bundles. From these the selections were made, and always the best and most expensive goods were taken, as if the burglars were skilled In picking out first class cloth. The bundles on the tables were disarranged as search was made for high-class goods, for the burglars wanted none but the best. NIGHT SCHOOL SOON OPENS Board of Education Will Elect Teachers This AVeek. A special meeting of the Board of Edu cation will probably be called for some day early next week to elect teachers and make other arrangements for the opening of the night school which meets in the High School building. The directors have not yet formally set the time of opening for the night school, but it will probably be Monday. October 22. During the past few years there has been a continuous Increase in the at tendance at the night school by young people who are employed during the regu lar school hours, but who still desire to secure an elementary education. Last year there were -464 pupils 97 female and 367 male registered in the night classes. It is expected that the attendance will be much Increased this year. The board has received many applications from those who desire to teach in the night Echool. SAVED FOR TODAY. Best snaps In ladies' and children's un derwear and hosiery.

Suspected Bombthrower Released, but Officers Continue Search for Writer of Threatening Iietter. Russian Nihilists so thoroughly terror ized seven witnesses for the state by threats of death that it was utterly im possible to adduce one particle of evi dence tending to incriminate John Lewan doski. bomb-thrower and alleged mur derer, and he was released in the Munici pal Court yesterday morning by Judge Cameron. The latter's life had been threatened by the prisoner's friends. Lewandoski. alleged to be a Russian who threw a bomb and killed an official in his native country, is being kept under surveillance by United States Secret Serv ice agents, and, if sufficient evidence can be gathered to show he is a murderer, he will be deported. He is said to have been at first sentenced to death for his alleged crime, but was later commuted to a term in prison, from where he escaped to America. Lewandoskl was recently arrested here by Detective Sergeant Baty, charged with a statutory offense. At the time of his arrest Russians who knew him talked freelv with District Attorney Manning and Deputy District Attorney Haney, de claring he lived with a woman not his wife. They gave testimony unhesitat ingly then, but when placed on the wit ness stand in the Municipal Court yester day morning they denied ever making any statements before the District Attor ney, and Mr. Haney, who was conducting the prosecution, was obliged to ask for a dismissal of the case. "I could not get a bit of testimony from any one of the seven witnesses called for the prosecution, because they had been threatened with death if they save evi dence against Lewandoski." said Deputy District Attorney Haney. "I honestly be lieve that they were so terrorized they dared not say a word against him. They went back on statements previously made, and I had to ask for a dismissal." Municipal Judge Cameron, whose life was threatened in a letter mailed to him by a member of the Alblna Nihilist band, stated after the case was dismissed that he had not at any time feared trouble, but it Is known that the police tobk pre cautions to protect him, especially as he was entering and leaving the Municipal Courtroom the past few days. United States Secret Service agents will continue to watch Lewandoski and his Nihilist friends, as they desire to break up the band of Russians now infesting Alblna, and to deport Lewandoski, if pos sible. The police are also endeavoring to lo cate the writer of the threatening letter. VETERAN DIES SUDDENLY Kobert Little Called Away 'White Conversing With Friends. While seated in his home, Tenth and Skidmore streets, talking with friends at 10:30 o'clock last night, Robert Little, a Civil War veteran, aged 74 years, suffered an attack of heart failure and died before medical aid could reach him. When the aged man collapsed ' in his chair and sank to the floor his friends were horrified. They summoned Dr. C. Biilington, who soon reached the house, but death had claimed its victim. Little was a bachelor. He had no relatives liv ing In Portland. Deputy Coroner Arthur L. Finley was notified of the death, but as Dr. Biilington had long attended the deceased it is said no inquest will be necessary. SLAUGHTER SALE. Today begins a general slaughter sale of American.

DROWNED IN SANDY RIVER MORRIS MIISTEAD DISAPPEARS WHILE FISHING. Prominent Farmer of Gresham Country Separates From Compan ion and Does Not Return Home. GRESHAM, Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) Morris Milstead, a well-to-do farmer living about five miles east of here, was probably drowned in the Sandy River yesterday afternoon. He had gone fish ing near the mouth of Gordon Creek, In company with G. H. Robertson, and the two became separated. Late in the even ing Mr. Robertson returned home, sup posing his companion had done likewise. About 9 o'clock Mrs. Milstead became alarmed at her husband's absence and roused the neighborhood, when a search ing party went to the Sandy River, but up to a late hour today had found no trace of the missing man. It is supposed Milstead tried to wade across the river on one of the shallow riffles, but was thrown off his feet and carried into deep water. He leaves a wife and five small children. He was a son-in-law of H. F. Wehlon, a prominent sawmill owner, and was well known throughout this entire section. NO GRAND JURY THIS YEAR In Absence of Judge, Further Inves tigation Will Be Delayed. District Attorney Bristol has as yet made no announcement as to when an other Federal grand jury will be assem bled to pursue the investigations in the land frauds. As no judge is available to accept the reports of such a body, it is not unlikely that further proceedings will be held over until next year. However, It Is understood that Mr. Bristol has sev eral charges which he desires to bring up as soon as possible and will assemble a jury as soon as a judge can be assigned here. Judge Wolverton left last night for San Francisco to sit in the Circuit Court of Appeals, and it is probable that an application will be made to Judge Gil bert to assign a judge to the land fraud investigations. Mr. Bristol left last night for Seattle to take testimony in the Hyde-Benson case, but expects to return to Portland Monday. Street Will Now Be Improved. A remonstrance against the proposed fill on East Stark street, from East Water to East Seventh, was yesterday overruled bv the street committee of the Council. This i9 one of the most important lm orovements now in prospect on the East Side, but progress upon it has been de layed repeatedly since It was first taken up by the Council. The defeat of the re monstrance will probably end the delays, and the Improvement will now be taken up and the contract let. A resolution was passed granting thr Portland Railway Company permission ti lay tracks temporarily upon York street, from Twenty-second to Twenty-fourth. The tracks will be used only a few weeV.p. as they are simply wanted to use in re moving wood from a property which has recently been sold by the railway com pany. Men Wanted for Firemen Resignations from the Fire Department have been frequent of late, due to th high price of labor prevailing, and it ia with difficulty that the Civil Service Commission Is keeping up the quota of men in the different companies. At pres ent there are 25 vacancies in the depart ment, and to secure candidates for thn positions examinations will be held on October 25. FRANK I.
