LATTER GIVEN WARNING Hint From Federal Authorities Leads to Dally "Shakedown" at County Prison Strangers Regarded With Much Suspicion. Cautioned by the Federal authorities, Sheriff Stevens has taken extraordinary precautions to prevent the escape of the desperate gang of thugs who are alleged to be guilty of robbing the St. Johns and Sellwood 'Postofflces. Two or three days ago it came to the ears of the Sheriff that uncaught accomplices of this gang were devising schemes for a gen eral Jail delivery, realizing that the crim inals now in the toils have little chance of escaping long terms in the peniten tiary. ' While Sheriff Stevens denies that there has been any attempt at breaking jail by the gang, it is known that he has ordered a dally search' of the cell of every mem ber of the bunch during the . past week. This order . for . a frequent . "shaking down" of the prisoners is due to the fact that for several days past strangers have been calling at the County Jail request ing permission to see this or that member of the gang that was caught in the drag net during the raid of the Front-street rooming-house recently. Frequent re quests have been made of Jailer Mitchell on the part of persons who are entirely unknown to the county authorities for permission to hold interviews with this or that one of the crowd of suspects, but the Sheriff has adopted the policy of allowing no one. no matter whether he be known to the jail officials or not. to see any one of the suspects except ia the presence of a deputy from the Sheriff's office. The gang now in durance Is regarded as one of the worst ever taken into custody by the local, state or Federal authorities, and the evidence so far is so conclusive of their guilt that -they are not to be given even the slightest opportunity of gaining freedom . without trial. "We are not departing from the usual , programme," said Jailer Mitchell yester day when asked about the reported at tempt at jail-breaking. "It makes no difference what the evidence is agairst the person that is given over to our custody: it makes no difference what his past record has been, he never escapes our vigilance. We realize that the gang now in Jail Is a desperate one, if the accounts in the newspapers are to be believed and we are acting accordingly. "We haven't heard anything about any attempted jail delivery, but I think we are pretty well prepared for any such emergency, for we search prisoners fre quently. We lined all the inmates of the jail up this morning and went through their clothing and their cells, but we didn't find a thing that would lead us to believe there was any plot to escape." Since the raid of the Front-street lodging-house was made and the bad bunch landed In the County Jail extra precau tions have been taken to prevent any "surprises" and while members of the gang are allowed to mingle freely. Jailer Mitchell does not believe they will be able to plan or carry out any jail-breaking plots. In fact he was so confident of this that he smiled when The Oregonian man suggested that such a thing were possible, or even contemplated by the men in jail. SINGS A NEW SLOGAN. Florida Writer on a Third Political Party and TMulocracy. BARTOW, Kla.. Feb. 3. (To the Editor.) The producers of the country's wealth are beginning tf wa(e Up to tne fact tnat tner share of the 1 07.O00.O0O.O0o President Roose velt speaks of is rather lacking. The poverty of the workers of the Na tion, coupled with the unlawful arrest of their labor leaders In Colorado, Is : more than the people will stand for. I know not whether these three men are guilty, but I do know their fellow workmen believe them Innocent, and will not stand for their judicial murder. But the Incident has been an eye-opener to the farmers and laborers of the country, as to the extent to which liberty la throttled by plutocracy, A society woman has undertaken to put and keep some of the facts of plutocracy's rule before the people In the hope that the Issue may be peacefully settled by the ballot tn November, 1908. "We propose to appeal to the producers of the North and of the South to leave dead Issues, and to realize that their Interests and those of the workers of the whole country are identical. We are well aware that the producers can never unite under the name Republican or Democrat. But It matters little what other name, so that we find honest men. But the main thing now. If we would avert a repe tition of the scenes of 1861. Is to hold out the hope to the people that both the Repub lican and Democratic parties can and will be forever defeated In 100S. While the people have been possessed of the ballot, they have been pitted against each other, so that the result has been ex actly the same as though they had had no voice. We propose to appeal to the agricul tural and religious press, and to other pa pers not generally Interested In politics, to give these faots wide publicity, also to all newspapers that we have reason to believe are not hirelings. The time has come for every man who is a patriot to sink self and party, and work for the people and the country. To be as sured of victory, we need only to see that the people are put in possession of the facts. JULIA C. COON. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Hongkong.. . ..Apr. 18 Nome City, in command of Captain Han son, with Pilot Joseph Turner in charge, dropped down through the bridges with out the aid of a toW boat. With the water at' a 19-foot stage, this is a re markable performance. The steamer Thomas L. Wand, with the assistance of the Ocklahama and the Elmore, left the mills of the Portland Lumber Company at 4 o'clock and pror ceeded down stream. The barkentine Gardnier City, loaded with ties will leave the O. W. P. dock this morning at day light and will proceed down the river. The departure of the Nome City marks the resumption of business on the Wil lamette River. Since the recent rise there has been practically no traffic for craft which went above the bridges to secure cargo. The Nome City, Thomas L. Wand and the Gardiner City have been loaded for nearly a week and have been forced to remain at their respective docks on account of the high water. The fall of the last two days has reduced the cur rent to a great extent and the drift has almost ceased to be a factor. At an informal conference of masters 4 and pilots, held yesterday morning, it was decided not to risk a vessel In the current without. the aid of a tow boat. The Ocklahama. which was expected to arrive at noon, did not make the harbor until after 2 o'clock and Pilot Turner decided to proceed down with the Nome City. He made the passage of the bridges without accident and the tie-up of the past week was then a matter of history. The French bark Marechal de Villars. in cement from Hamburg arrived up at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in tow of the steamer Ocklahama. It required 26 hours to reach this harbor from Astoria, owing to the heavy current. The Villars anchored Saturday night at a point op posite St. Helens and in the morning she left up at daylight. On the trip up she made less than four miles an hour. Marine Notes. The schooner Prosper, laden with ties, sailed from St. Helens yesterday. The barkentine Gardiner City, in lum ber for San Francisco, will sail for the South today.. The schooner Ottille Fjord, In lumber from Rainier, left down the river yes terday morning. The steamer Roanoke will sail . tomor row evening with passengers 'and freight, for San Pedro and way ports.

If there Is anything in nature more appreciated by- mankind than a perfect. God-given day, It Is yet to be discovered. While Portland has had several consecu tive bright days, yesterday was undoubt edly the creme de la creme in the weather line and the warm sunshine and balmy air brought humanity out of Its abode as effectively as it draws the plants from the earth. There Is as much difference in the quality of clear weather as there Is between a Chinook and a blizzard Days may be bright, days may be full of sunshine, but when the atmosphere is full of that indefinable something which appeals to every latent sense, which makes one glad to be alive and to have weathered a rigorous Winter, It affects mankind in a way that no other season does. It Is in such weather that men, women and children crave ror the open; that they leave heated houses and dark ened rooms behind to seek the inspira tion of earth and sky, of the landscape, of the witchery of Spring. A stranger asked yesterday on upper Washington street what was going on, and a cursory glance at the endless pro cession of pleasure seekers which went up and down that thoroughfare and along the cross streets and at the overcrowded cars which carried their loads to the hilts, gave ample explanation of his question. Pessimists claim that , Ore gonians grow calloused to the beauty of the natural scenery, but it is on such days as Sunday that this claim is dis puted. In hundreds they go to the Heights, the Crest, the parks, for another view of the beautiful mountains they have been seeing all their lives, and which never grow old. White-headed pioneers who saw Mount Hood and St. Helens over half a century ago made the trip to Council Crest yesterday and looked again on the peerless panorama of mountain, valley and river. And again it looked more beautiful than ever to them. i Several parties made the tramp through Macleay Park yesterday and one took the skyline trail route. The ground was a bit soft for such an excursion, but these dauntless nature lovers were Mazamas, to whom the going underfoot meant noth ing. The City Park was crowded with visitors from 10 o'clock in the morning until, the sun got low. hundreds climbing the hills to view the damage to the handsome trees caused- by the recent silver thaw. They continued their stroll along the park blocks or plaza, all per sonally interested in the city's beauty. The Oregon City cars were more crowd ed than usual yesterday, carrying passen gers to view the Willamette Falls, which are said to present an imposing sight during the present Dreshet. An Easterner enthusiastically declared that they only needed height to resemble Niagara and that the rapids below them were much like those of the Niagara River. Many who were not able to get down to view the high river during the week took ad vantage of the sunshine and the holi day to go to the various bridges yesterday,- and there was a solid line of spec tators along each bridge. The large con tingent of boatmen and houseboat own ers were all attracted to the river, and many were repairing damages or losses. Yet In spite of all the glorious weather and the herald of Spring, the theaters played to packed houses, the regular Sunday audiences caring more for the play than for the weather. But the spirit was there, and In all the city peo ple looked glad and happy. Women brought out their light hats and gowns, and men dressed up in their best for the promenade. For it was Spring. COMPLAINS ON SUSPICION Andrew Sondyberg Reports Robbery That Did Not Occur. Andrew Sondyberg. a man well past 40 years, called at the police station last night and notified Captain Slover that he had been robbed. The man admitted that be had visited a notorious den of vice in the North End, and after leaving It dis covered that he had lost his money. He then tpok out his pocketbook and proceed ed to show the Captain how he was robbed. There was something heavy in the book and the Captain opened it. All of Sondyberg's money was there. He had not been robbed. "Don't put it in the paper," he said. And as he was about to leave ho added: "Will you have a drink. Captain?" Slo ver, who has strict principles, declined.

He was a native of Maine, where he had a distinguished record. He was a member of the Maine Legislature while James G. Blaine was a member and was a close friend of that distinguished statesman.
