SIX ARE INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury Makes a
Record for One Day.
SPEEDY JUSTICE IS DONE
Judge Wolverton Passes Sentence in
Five oT Doicn Cases Others WH
Com Before t he Bar
Next .Monday.
A record was established by the Fed
eral xrand Jury yesterday, when, after
a session of but one day, six indictments,
involving 12 defendants, were returned.
. AYithout exception, the act-used pleaded
Rfutlty and of the dozen, five were sen
tenced. Judge Wolverton reserving sen
tence on the remaining seven until next
Monday. The examination "by which
rheso indictments were returned was
conducted by Assistant United States
Attorney Robert Tinker, who established
for himeelf a record for expeditious dis
position of cases before the grand Jury.
It has been years since a more youthful
company of men appeared in the United
States Court and pleaded guilty to a
violation of the Federal statutes. Of the
. 13 who confessed their puilt. the eldest
was only 35 years of age, the youngest
giving his as at 17 years.
The six indictments and the disposition
that was made of each case follows:
Claud O. llornsberger, alias Sam A.
Boot ham. charged with fraudulent use
of th mails In July. 1507; pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to six months' im
prisonment in the County Jail.
Harry H. Higley. alias Sam Smith, alias
Harry West, charged with sending ob
scene letters through the mails; pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to 1JD days in
the County Jail.
Fred Kuhn and John Anderson,
charged with making counterfeit money,
pleaded guilty and were sentenced to pay
a, tine of $100 each and serve one year
each t McNeils Island.
Q. P. Salnave. alias Bert Salnavt,
pleaded guilty to sending obscene letters
through the mails and was sentenced to
ISO days In the County Jail.
Frank McPherson. Frank Johnson,
John Simpson and Walter H. Lawrence,
charged with robbing the sub-postomce.
Tenth and Jefferson streets, of $17.50 in
money and stamps, pleaded guilty and
sentence was deferred until Monday.
Merle West. Karl Hanke and Robert
Ilayward. alias Del Hay ward, charged
ith robbing the Hillsdale post office Feb
ruary 3 last, pleaded guilty and sentence
as postponed until next Monday.
With the reporting of these indict
ments, the Multnomah County Jail has
ben delivered of all Federal prisoners.
The only pw awaiting investigation is
that for the fraudulent use of the mails
for which the four accused men are on?
on bonds. They are charged with re
ceiving about $1440 worth of spurious cur
rency through the United Slates malls
from a Chicago curio house.
Evidence has been presented jn the
United States Attorney's office of al
leged illegal timber land entries In the
Siletz district. In the same connection a
number of entrymen are charged with
subornation of perjury. These alleged
crimes probably will be brought before
the grand jury.
TRUCKS ARE CLEAR
Chinese Couple Ordered Deported.
After hearing the evidence in the
case. Captain J. A. Sladen, United
States Commissioner, sustained the
application of the immigration author
ities for the deportation of Chin You
and Leong So. The aliens, who are
alleged unlawfully to havev entered
the United States, have appealed their
cases and furnished cash ball for their
appearance In the United States Dis
trict Court.
KAISER DISGRACES COUSIN
Intrigue With Ex-Actress Drives
Prince Albrecht From Army.
EHRLIN, March 17. Prince Joachim Al
brecht .. of Prussia, second cousin of Em
peror William, has resigned from the
army, where he held the rank of Major,
and will not again be permitted to wear
the German uniform. The resignation of
the Prince, it is declared,' was requested
by Emperor William.
According to the Mittag Zeitung, Em
peror William has been extremely dissat
isfied with the Prince because of his con
tinued relations with the Baroness Lieben
berg. It was because of his interest in
this woman that the Prince was pun
ished 18 months ago by being sent out to
join the German forces in the field In
Southwest Africa. The Baroness was at
one time an actress and played in the
theaters of Berlin. Her maiden name was
Marie Sulzer. The Prince desired to marry
her, but this was Impossible because of
the inequality of their social standing.
Marie Sulser then obtained the title of
Baroness Liebenberg through marriage
with an Austrian Baron at a suburban
registry office at Brixton Hill, London,
she and the Baron parting at the conclu
sion of the ceremony.
It is understood, however, that a di
vorce was never obtained. In the mean
time, the Prince and the Baroness have
been living, it la declared, under a trans
parent incognito in Prussia. This went
on until Emperor William decided to In
tervene. Gets Damages for His Logs.

RAVAGES OF STORM OVER
Willamette Has Reached Highest
Stage and Workmen Will Today
Begin Work Repairing the
Madison-Street Bridge.
By daylight this morning, the main
line of the O. R. & N. to tho cast is
expected to be clear and trains will be
run as usual today unless some further
accident again blocks the track. Work
trains and large gangs of men have
been strung along the line where the
washouts and landslides have occurred,
and they have worked" like mad for the
past two days to clear the right of way.
At a late hour last night the headquar
ters, offices in Portland expected the
line to be open by daylight.
There was another slide at mllepost 50,
near .Wyeth, yesterday, afternoon,- at
the same point where the original slide
occurred Sunday that first blocked the
line. This was cleared away, however,
after about four hours' work.
The worst damage to the main ' line
was in the Blue Mountains east of Uma
tilla. Dozens of gaps had been torn In
the track by floods. Plledrlvers have
been put to work at these points and
everything possible is being done to
clear the line and resume train service.
The North Bank road will open for
traffic this morning unless further dam
age Is reported from points along the
line. It was believed last night that all
damage would have been repaired by
today.
Workmen will start today repairing the
draw of the Madison-street bridge, which
was twisted about 10 inches out of line
by the tug Sampson, when that craft
was swept against the bridge by the
current running in the river. This work
will probably, require one or two days,
when it Is expected the structure will
be safe for the passage of teams and
streetcars. Until the bridge is repaired,
only foot passengers will be allowed to
cross.
A steamer was kept busy yesterday
pulling logs away from the jam against
the upper side of the bridge, and a big
hole was made in the pile of timoer. Much
of the drift was washed away by the
waves raised by passing steamers and
the current tore out many logs during
the day. Danger to the bridge is be
lieved to have passed unless large
qantities of drift get away and collide
with the structure.
The fiver at Portland Is believed to
have reached its highest stage yesterday
and is expected to begin to fall today.
This will mean less danger to shipping
on the river front and as the Columbia is
coming up. back water from that stream
will probably check the current running
through the harbor. A slower current
will help in the work of clearing away the
jam of logs and drift lodged against
the Madison bridge.
Streams throughout the "Willamette
Valley are reported to be falling and the
damage from high water all over the
state Is apparently over. Eastern Ore
gon is having less trouble from floods
than yesterday and by tonight the effects
of the recent storm will have generally
disappeared.

TAKE UP .HUMP PROBLEM
MAYORS , OF COAST CITIES
WRITE MAYOR IAXE.
View Suggestions Made by Him In
Recent Circular Letter
With Favor.
Formation of a plan whereby the larger
cities on the Pacific Coast shall care for
their vagrants, is being considered ser
iously by Mayors from Lon Angeles to
Vancouver. B. C. Mayor Lane, of Port
land, took the initiative by presenting,
in a lengthy communication to the chief
executives of at least 26 municipalities,
his own ideas for the solution of "the
hobo problem." In reply to his recent
letter, he has received a number of in
teresting replies, showing that the ques
tion under discussion Is one that affects
every community and that it Is one that
sooner or later must be settled.
In reply to his communication. Mayor
Lane has received letters from the heads
of the municipal government of San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles. Oakland and Salem.
He has also had some letters from May
ors of smaller places, which however,
do not some into such close contact with
the question. Only the larger cities, it
is thought, could well be able to lend as
sistance in any plan for the betterment
of the "hobo" type.
Mayor Lane, in his communication, out
lined his Ideas as to how best to handle
the vagrant classes. He severely scores
the present system of driving these men
from city to city, the chief desire of each
municipality being only to shift Its re
sponsibility to another. This, he declared,
is cowardly and vicious, and of no conse
quence, when it comes to permanent good
results to society.
Because he believes that to drive vag
rants from place to place frequently
makes criminals of them. Mayor Lane
suggests that some kind of- an organiza
tion be formed whereby each city should
care for its own vagrants in some humane
manner, and also suggested that to place
them at work on the streets at living
wages would be one means of solving the
problem. Those who would not work, he
said, might be handled in some way other
than being driven from the city where
found, and when it was necessary to de
port any such characters, Mayor Lane
suggested, it would be well for the
authorities to forward lists of the names
and some important facts about each to
other city officials, so that each munici
pality could the better be prepared to
cope with conditions.
Mayor Taylor, of San Francisco, in
his letter, thanked Mayor Lane for the
suggestions made, and said that he would
co-operate with Portland and other cities
in- such manner as here outlined.
Mayor Taylor took up the matter with
the Board of Supervisors and has hopes
of definite results. He stated that in
San Francisco many unemployed men had
been put to work on the streets. Mayor
Harper, of Los Angeles, replied, saying
he favored the plans of Mayos Lane, and
assured the latter that Los Angeles is
willing to enter into the plan. He also
said that in that city many are at work
on the streets.
Mayor Mott. of Oakland, Cal., favors
Mayor Lane's plan, and says that Oak
land is ready to enter into any arrange
ment that may be agreed upon between
cities to care for vagrants. Mayor
Rodgers, of Salem, wrote that he would
lend his assistance.
BETTER GERMAN COLONIES
Improvements in Government About
to Be Inaugurated.
BERLIN, March 17. Colonial Secretary
Derburg made a brilliant speech today
during the debate on the Colonial budget,
in which he foreshadowed the organiza
tion of better governments for the colon
ies of Germany by introduction of a spe
cial class of trained officials who would!
master the native languages and the
local conditions of administration.'
Thus would an endeavor be made the
Secretary said, to secure the confidence
of aborigines and develop the resources
of ' the colonies through the construction
of railroads and where possible by In
ducing colonization by the whites. The
colonial department Intended to root out,
the Secretary declared, these men among
officials and settlers, who displayed a
tendency, toward brutality and injustice
in their dealings with the natives.

NAMES OF 21,428 VOTERS KOW
OX THE IiIST.
Figures of County Clerk Show That
Wards 7, 9 and 10 Have Made
the Best Gains.
While the total number of registrations
crept up about 450 yesterday, making a
total at S o'clock of 2-1.428, there are still a
large number of voters who have not reg
istered. It would appear from the fig
ures of other years that but little more ..
than half of the total number of voters
have placed their names on the books this 1
year. It is absolutely essential that they
do so if they are to vote at the primaries,
as every voter must register.
It would appear from the figures given
out by County Clerk Fields that the ban
ner wards this year are Nos, 7, 9 and 10.
These have each rolled up a total regis
tration of between 2000 and 2500. While'
Ward 8 now has about 3500 registrations, :
the total at the city election last year !
was upwards of 45W. The wards on the ;
West Side have made a very poor show-'
Ing this year, compared with those on
the East Side. In Ward 1 only 687 voters
were registered up to Saturday night,
while 1187 registered from this ward last
year. In Ward 8, 836 were registered. up
to last Saturday night, while the total
last year was 1349. In the other West
Side wards only about half the voting
strength is represented.
In Ward 1 is located the Eastern &
Western Lumber Company, and the North
Pacific Mills. When interviewed last night
Walter B. Mackay, manager of the North
Pacific Mill, said about 200 men were em
ployed, but that he didn't think many of
them had registered. He said he intended
to take the matter up with the mill su
perintendent today and the men will be
given an opportunity to reKister. V. H.
Ransom, of the Eastern & Western Lum
ber Company, said 400 men were employed
there, and would be given an opportunity
to register.
