Under Arrest.

plications May Arise.
FORT STEVEX3. Or., Jan. 21. (Spe
cial.) Consternation was caused today by
the capture of two Japanese who were
found loitering In the west battery of
Fort Stevens.
The sentry, while walking his post to
the west battery, suddenly came upon
two Japanese who were walking upon
the parapet of the battery. As this place
Is unfrequented, except by special per
mission from the District Artillery Com
mander, the sentry hid behind- sentry
box and watched their movements. See
ing them point to the different guns and
emplacements and looking over the sit
uation in general, the sentry took the
men into custody and marched them back
to the main post. They were then Inter
viewed by the DlBtrict Adjutant-Lieutenant.
B. H. Kerfoot, who could obtain no
satisfactory explanation for their tres
passing. Although nothing of an incriminating
nature could be found upon their per
sons, indications are that they were at
the post for the purpose of obtaining
plans and sketches of the different for
tifications and modes of defense.
The Japanese were very well dressed
and seemed to be above the average in
appearance and intelligence. The fact
Of their being in the west battery, prob
ably the most important battery on the
Pacific Coast, makes the situation much
more serious than it would otherwise be.
The battery consists of six 10-inch rifles
and two 6-inch rapid-fire guns, and is
considered to be one of the most potent
factors In the defense of this part of the
coast.
Unofficial intelligence was received
some time ago relative .to surreptitious
work of this nature, but practically noth
ing was thought of it until recently,
when the various reports of the many
instances of the Japanese obtaining
plans, etc., of the different coast defenses
of the United States were received. No
action of an official nature has yet been
taken, but an investigation will probably
result, and if the evidence tends to show
that there is anything In the suspicions,
complications are likely to arise.

FLEECES SEATTLE TEXDERLOIJf
Allejred Blaine Bankwrecker Cashes
$200 In Worthless Checks.
SKATTLE. Wash., Jan. 2L (Special.)
Jr. C. Mathes, owner and alleged wrecker
of the now defunct Exchange Bank of
Blaine, has the laugh on Seattle sleuths
and also on Q. W Westcott, ex-Mayor of
Blaine, politician of state reputation and
lesal representative of the depositors of
the bank. Last Thursday while West
cott and the detectives were seeking
Mathes high and low he was setting the
pace for Seattle's tenderloin, where so
far as is known Mathes cashed checks to
the amount of about $200, but it Is be
lieved that time will show far more than
this amount. He drew the checks on
his own bank, as owner of the institution
and found no trouble In cashing them at
saloons in the redlight district. One
check was for JS3, which he gave his
woman companion of the night. Mathes
is believed to have gone to British Colum
bia. CEXSVRED-BY THE GRAXD J CRT
Weston Marshal Acted Too Hastily
in Shooting Justin Reed.
PKXDLETON'. Or.. Jan. 21. (Special.)
In the final report of the grand Jury to
day. Marshal Dave Lavender, of Weston,
was censured for causing the death of
Justin Reedv but no Indictment was re
turned. I-avender was censured for er
ror In judgment and for being too hasty
in using unusual means In arresting &
rnan who was merely drunk and disor
derly. While not a true bill was returned
against Mrs. Mabel Warner and her de
tective. Joe Craddick. charged with ma
liciously procuring search warrants, they
were condemned In no uncertain terms.
In discussion of this case the report says;
We have reluctantly reached the con
clusion that It would be Inadvisable to re
turn an Indictment at this time because of
the fart that our criminal statute does not
im broad enough to cover cases of this
character.
In the case of John Woods, of Milton,
accused of assaulting Claude Wallace,
a defective youth under his care, no in
dictment was returned, for lack of suf
ficient evidence.
In addition to lis final report, the grand
Jury returned four indictments and three
not true bills. Those indicted--- were
Joseph Haaga. Henry Courter. Joseph
and Frank Hilderbrand. Haaga is the
foreman of the crew at work on the
Furnish ditch, who was arrested several
months ago for robbing a store at Echo.
The goods were found in his tent.
Courter stole $60 from his father, and
the Hilderbrands are the young fellows
who shared in the plunder.
Not a true bill was found in the case
of F. S. Skldmore, the bunco showcase
salesman who fleeced local merchants to
the tune of a few hundred dollars. Be
fore he can be indicted it will be neces
sary to have a witness come from Grand
Rapids, Mich. He will not be released,
as he is wanted in a dozen different
places in Washington and Idaho.

the murder of his wife. The two indict
ments were returned by a grand Jury in

Tillamook, In conjunction with District
Attorney McNary, of Salem, caused
Hembree's rearrest, and he was taken

rant Because Neighbor's Dog
Had Been Stolen.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 21. (Special.) Cour
age born i of a mother's love prevented a
homicide thla afternoon when W. - H.
Paula drew a revolver upon Chief of Po

whipped out his own weapon and waa
about to pull the trigger, when Pauls'
mother sprang between the men and
thus saved the life of one or both.
The affair arose over a matter of small
importance, but came near resulting
fatally, for both Pauls and the Chief of
Police are good shots and were within a
few feet of each other.
This morning Emery James, familiarly
known as "Cherokee," filed a complaint
in the police court charging Pauls with
stealing hi dog. A warrant was issued
and Chief Gibson went to the Pauls'
home in South Salem to serve it. In
response to his knock, tbe door was
opened by Mrs. Pauls, and when he
stated his business, young Pauls uttered
defiance. Gibson advanced to arrest his
man, when Pauls pulled a revolver and
threatened to shoot If the Chief took an
other step. Gibson is not of the give-up
kind, and jerked out his own revolver
and was about to Are at Pauls, when the
mother intervened. In response to her
pleadings the young man gave up. He
was fined $25 for stealing the dog and
$100 for drawing.a gun.

PEACE DECLARED AND POUTING
ASSESSORS RECALIED.
Idaho Officials, After Stormy Ses
sion, Agree to Base Taxation
on Cash .Valuations.
BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 21. (Special.)
Idaho Assessors, at their meeting today,"
struggled with a number of questions,
but arrived at a definite conclusion on
one. They got at cross purposes with
the State Board and declared it was use
less to attempt to agree upon a cash
value assessment, as the State Board
showed no disposition to stand with
them. Later one of the members of the
Board changed front and what had been
done was rescinded. After the early split
several of the Assessors left for home.
After the reconciliation these were wired
to return, and are on their way back.
There waa some discussion of railway
assessment, but it developed that no
agreement could be reached, as there is
wide difference among members of the
Board. m
Governor Gooding explained he had
been misquoted on his plan for a- basis
of assessment. He stood for assessment
at full cash valuation. The Governor
made his position very plain, but Attorney-General
Guheen. of the State Bo$ird,
did not ' express agreement. This was
what angered the Assessors. They said
it was useless to attempt to fix assess
ment at the cash value if the State Board
would not stand by it. Later Attorney
General Guheen announced he coincided
with the Governor. That led to calling
back of members who had gone home,
and it is quite probable the long agita
tion to get assessments up to the cash
value- Instead of from one-third to one
half will at last be successful.
