THIS IS THE STORY OF A
Famous Black Stocking
A few years ago an American woman went
into a little German shop and bought some stock
ings. There seemed to be nothing unusual about
them at that time, but she found them to be far
and away the best stockings she had ever .worn.
They were made of a peculiarly strong thread
and dyed a never-fading, lustrous black. They
did not lose their shape, as stockings ordinarily
do. They fitted as perfectly after many launder
ings as at the beginning. They were absolutely
fast color. So satisfactory were they that after
some investigation the American! e a r n e d the
make of these stockings, and as a result they
have been registered in America as the "Wear
well brand," and have for a long time been one
of the specialties of Lipman-Wolf e 's Hosiery De
partment. Many Portland women have tried them, gen
erally because of some one's personal recom
mendation. Hardly any one will wear anything
else, once they are known. "Wearwell" Stock
ings may be had nowhere in America outside the
Lipman-Wolfe store, but mail orders will be
filled for any part of the United States. In sizes
for women and children, 25c a pair.
Every pair bear the "WMrwell" tradf-Ruric.
Look for it. Don't be deceived or tmpMrd upon
by Mtoren with a low standard of business honor.

Witness by rrosocution In
Other Dank Cases.
SAX KKANCISiV. April 27. J. Dal
rcll Brown, formerly manager of the
California Safe lrposlt & Trust Com
pany, pleaded guilty this morning; to
the charge of embezxllng 65 mortgage
honilx of Hie Sacramento Has & Electric
Company and was sentenced to 18
mouths' Imprisonment at San Quentin.
In the afternoon. Brown appeared
lieforc the grand Jury and made a com
plete confession. He will now be used
as a witness by the prosecution in the
trials of Bartnett and Treadwell.
Brown was arrested several, months
atto for his part in the alleged wreck
ing of the California bank, and pleaded
not guilty when first arraigned before
Judge Conley.
Leniency was exercised by the Judge
Upon the statement of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Cook that Brown had
never protited through the crooked
financial methods of the bank, was the
least culpable of the bank officials and
is in a position to assist the depositors
to a material extent.
Aroused of Embezzling Bonds.
The crime charged against Brown
was that of embezzling 65 mortgage
bonds of the value of J1000 each from
the Sacramento Gas & Electric Bail
way Company.
'I have never profited to the extent
of one dollar in the bank's failure."
raid Brown, when asked by the Judge
whether he had anything to say in his
own behalf. There was a trembling in
Mi voice, but no sign of weakening in
bis face. He stood up straight and
made his statement in a, matter-of-fact
sir. without bravado.
J. Palzell Brown appeared before the
Brand jury this afternoon and made a.
complete confession. He will appear
os a witness for the prosecution in May
ngalnst William J. Bartnett and James
Treadwell. ex-dlrectora of the suspend
ed California State Deposit & Trust
Company. After making the confession,
lie gave out the following statement:
Never Jo a Dollar Himself.
"The latter part of my life has been
Klven to the California Safe Deposit &
Trust Company. When I became man
ager of the Institution, about 10 years
ago. 1 found approximately eight
tenths of Its capital Invested in or
loaned to the interests of the Tread
wells. i did for the bank what I never
would have done for myself, and what
ever I did that was culpable w-as done
with the sole object of aiding the bank
and protecting its directors and depos
itor. By no act that I committed did
I ever profit a single penny, nor did I
ever divert to myself a single dollar
that I procured culpably for the benefit
of the bank. I believe there are many
ways In which 1 can yet aid the de
positors and creditors of the California
Safe Deposit & Trust Company. I could
be of no service to them harassed by
indictments and being subject to nu
merous trials, and I finally concluded
that I would accept a punishment
worse than death. confinement In
state's prison, that I might be able to
tell the story of the institution and
render my aid to those who are inter
ested In It. When I have rendered my
service to the receiver. I win RO to my
punishment and try to live through it."

PREMIER LAID TO REST
Funeral Services at 'Westminster
Largely Attended.
IiONDON, April 27. The funeral
service of the Church of England was
solemnized in Westminster Abbey at
noon today over the body of Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannermann, late Premier of
Great Britain, in the presence of a
large gathering, representing the polit
ical life of England. After the service
& short procession moved from the Ab
bey to Euston Station, where a special
train took the coffin, some of Sir Hen
ry's relatives snd a few of his closest
friends to Scotland. It was a typical
gloomy London day, and a dismal rain
was falling when the cortege made its
way through the streets. The Abbey
and the railroad station each had its
crowd of spectators, who found shelter
from the weather under a sea of um
brellas. The last time a body of a Premier of
England was taken to Westminster Ab
bey was in 189ft, when Gladstone was
buried there. The ceremony of today
held much lees of display than .was
seen when Mr. Gladstone was laid to
rest, but the grandeur of the Abbey
and the character of those who assem
bled today for the last honors to Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannermann formed a
noteworthy historical scene.
Scores of the former Premier's polit
ical associates were present, but his
two predecessors in office. Mr. Balfour
and Lord Rosebery, were unable to at
tend. The hymns sung during the
service were "Brief Life Is Here Our
Portion," while the coffin was being
carried into the Abbey "I Heard a
Voice" and "Oh, Our Help in Ages
Past."
The dead march from "Saul" was
played while the procession was leav
ing the Abbey.
ART COLLECTORS DUPED
Well-Known Dealer Said to Have
f
Practiced Extensive frauds.
NEW YORK, April 27. As the re
sult of an Inquiry which is being con
ducted by several of the leading art
collectors of this city, together with
their counsel, a story has been revealed
that cannot fall to astound the art
world of America and Europe.
These art collectors have reached the
conclusion that for years the most
competent critics and the most dis
criminating buyers of paintings have
been grossly imposed upon by a well
known art dealer, who has systemati
cally co-operated with a painter en
dowed with extraordinary ability not
only to finish the uncompleted works
of recogniied masters, but even to
Imitate their individual style so as to
suggest Imitative powers amounting to
genius. Several collectors who now be
lieve they have been Imposed upon have
put the matter in the hands of lawyers.

here. About 3:30 the boat was struck
and capsized. The 62 passengers and
members of the crew climbed on top of
the overturned boat, and the engineer
and a negro set out for the shore in a
skiff. Waves capsized the skiff and both
were drowned.
Waves ten feet high swept the over
turned steamer and several were washed
from their hold, drowning before the eyes
of their helpless companions.

ANESE OCCTPATOIX.
Sees Hand of Providence Working
for Good of Hermit Kingdom.
Friends Fear Assassination.
HONOLULU. April 27. Bishop Harris,
of the Methodist Church, in an inter
view here, said that in the occupation
of Corea by the Japanese he sees the

Hayashl are in earnest in their de
sires to improve conditions and are
working patiently and earnestly for
the good of Corea.

LIFE IS ALL A GAMBLE
Therefore Hughes' Crusade Is 111
Advised, Says Croker.
DUBLIN, April 27 Discussing American
politics, Richard Croker, once boss of
Tammany Hall, today gave It as his
opinion that Governor Hughes' indorse
ment by New York is merely compli
mentary. "Mr. Hughes 'anti-gambling attitude,"
he said, "will injure him undoubtedly in
his own state. "Why can't such men
keep out of that rut? Isn't life all a
gamble? But they select the part of the
gamble that's pleasant and gives pleas
ure and propose to penalize it.
"What the United States needs." said
Mr. Croker, in conclusion, "is a quiet
President. The country wants a rest for
a long time and some statesman like
William McKlnley."
Asked about a story to the effect that
there had been an encounter between
himself and Jem Roche, the prizefighter,
after the fight of St. Patrick's night,
when Tommy Burns so easily whipped
the Irishman, Mr. Croker said nothing
of the kind had occurred. Although in
terested in the fight, he said, he had
never met Roche personally and Roche
had never seen him unless he was able
to see through the glare of the ring to
the box occupied by Mr. Croker and his
friends during the fight.
INSANE AND NEAR DEATH
Robert Caldwell, Wanted for Per
jury In Druce Case, Dying.
NEW YORK. 'April 27. There seems to
be little cnance that Robert Caldwell,
"the preat American identifier." will ever
face an English court to answer to the
charge of perjury that has been made
against him. He Is in the city insane
hospital on Ward's Island and is reported
by the physicians as getting weaker

Caldwell went to En pi and and testified
in the famous Druce case that he knew
Druce as the Duke of Portland and that
he arranged a false burial for Druce.

Appearance in Vineyards.

tion has just reached this city that one
of the most destructive pests vineyard
ists have to contend with and known as
the kangaroo rat, has made its appear

The little pest is between the size of
a large mouse and a rat. has a maltose
coat spotted with white and a head like
a gopher. Its tail is about six inches
long with a flattened or fan-like tip.
In the vineyard of the Ben Lomond
Wine Company they are appearing by the
hundreds and are feeding on the young
buds of the grape vines, and7"Tf some ef
fective means of killing them is not hit
upon, they will destroy the entire crop.
Rough on rats and strychnine have been
used in great quantities and with con
siderable success.
The cause of their appearance in such
numbers is attributable to recent whole
sale slaughter of rattlesnakes' in that
neif?hlorhood. It was on Ben Lomond
Mountain early this Winter that nearly
150 rattlers were killed as they endeavored
to escape from a cavern accidentally
opened up while a gang of workmen
