The package never reached Mr. Meyers
at bis Portland address, and it has Just
been learned that It was stolen from the
express company on the night of August

such that it is believed that unknown

was discovered by Patrolman Barsee,
who heard his calls for help. Dr. Zeig

and upon ascertaining the seriousness of
the man's condition, had him removed to
Bt. Vincent's Hospital, where a more
thorough examination revealed the fact
that his hopes for recovery are slight.

OLTMPIA, -Wash., Sept. 7. (Special.)
Tomorrow will give the state of Wash
ington Its first test of the new direct
primary law, which la its second choice,
nonpartisan judiciary, and free for all
candidacy features is unique.
With no precedent under the workings
of such a law for guidance, the moat
astute of politicians are wary about ex

Conservative and unbiased opinion pre
dominates that Wesley L. Jones will be
the preference of a plurality of voters
for the United States Senate. Recent de
velopments and apparent gains f Sena
tor Ankeny In the last few weeks, how
ever, indicate that the contest may be
close.
Local Optiou Causes Doubt.
There exists a more or less definite
opinion here that the Governorship will
not go to a secondi-choice candidate.
Were It not for the local option Issue,
Governor A. E. Mead would be considered
an almost certain leader In the first choice
voting and the probable winner. But It
la doubtful If local option sentiment is
so strong in this state that It will turn
conservative local optloniats against their
personal choice amonsr the other can

be divided while the saloon vote bears
every evidence of being solid for Mc-
Bride. The liquor element will expend
every effort in getting voters to the polls.
actuated not wholly by desire to win the
Gubernatorial contest, but also by a wish
to elect legislative favorable candidates.
Cosgrove on Second Choice.
With the second-choice provision opera
tive, indications point to S. G. Cosgrove
as the probable winner of the contest.
This prediction is based on the theory
that the first choice vote will be fairly
evenly divided among Cosgrove, Mead and
McBride. with Cosgrove getting a greater
percentage of the second-choice votes
than either of the other two. Atkinson
is stllll considered a possibility on second
choice, but his' chances rest on the theory
that persons who vote first choice for
Mead, McBride or Cosgrove will not as
a rule cast their second-choice votes for
either of the other leading candidates.
Because of probability of the anti-saloon
faction being able to control the local
option forces In general. It Is likely that
McBride will be the leader on first-choice
voting.
On the remainder of the ticket, opinion
predominates that J. H. Schlvely will

Rich Man's Son Who Sounded
Depths of Sin Tells Story
of Regeneration.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Sept. 7. (Spe
cial.) Standing reverently before a group
of mission workers and several hundred
social outcasts in the slums last night,
Leonard Mordaunt, son of a wealthy
Eastern family, graduate of Tale law
school, ex-convlct and now a convert , to
Christianity, celebrated his fourth anni
versary of freedom from crime with a
remarkable sermon. In simple words he
told of his regeneration, and the flotsam
and jetsam of humanity, the derelicts
who stemmed the tide for a moment to
listen, lingered until he was through,
many weeping aa If their hearts were
broken.
Falling to the lowest levels of degra
dation, Mordaunt sought to hide himself
by coming West. In his extremity he
became a highway robber. He was
caught, convicted, and sent to the peni
tentiary. He later became a deputy
sheriff, reformed, and now spends his
time and money assisting unfortunates
who are as he was.
MILL AND LUMBER ON FIRE

VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 7. (Spe
cial.) The Bailey Lumber Company's
mill, about seven miles northeast of Van
couver, and about two miles north of
Ellsworth, is in flames. As there Js no
lire protection the entire mill, with the
lumber stacked in the yards, appears
doomed.
George G. Bailey, president of the com
pany, values the mill at J16.000. The lum
ber in the yards, cwhich probably will be
consumed before the flames have burned
themselves out, is worth about 10,000.
Mr. Bailey says that the insurance on
the property is $8000. Until four or five
days ago It was $10,000. At that time
$2000 of the Insurance ran out and had
not been renewed.
It to not known how the fire started,
but it Is thought that It was due to an
overheated furnace.

opposition on the part of the Queen ap
peared stronger than ever. She said,
however, that time might bring a change
in her opinion, and after waiting a
reasonable period the Count of Turin
sought her at her country home.
In espousing the cause of his brother,
the Count declared to the Dowager Queen
that the Duke 'was steadfast in his love
for Miss Elkins, and if he broke hla en

for him to form an alliance with anyone
else. He added that Miss Elkins
possessed all the qualifications necessary
to fit her to enter the house of Savoy,

DULUTH. Minn., Sept. 7. The Mesaba
range tonight is threatened wlth a new
outbreak of the fire which swept away
Chisholm Saturday and wiped out thou

Northern Railroad, whose roundhouse is
situated there. Several hundred men are
still guarding the place. The pine timber
which surrounds Mitchell has been almost
all consumed.
Between Nashwauk and Hibbing, a
region 22 miles long, the forests are one

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 7. A Orank
armed with an antiquated bulldog re

house today by the secret service guarcta.
The man described himself as John
Coughlin, a detective, and, when stopped
by the secret service men, presented a
card upon which were inscribed his name
and the word "officer." He said that
he had come to ask the President to
order 10.000 troops to catch yeggmen, who
had been terrorizing Boston.
Coughlin is supposed to have reached
Oyster Bay on the 12:19 train. Ho

One of the rules for visitors at Saga

back. Coughlin kept right on. Adam?
ran down the road to meet him. Coughlin
produced his card and explained in tha

The secret service men tried to ex

Coughlin hesitated a moment and then
slid his hand toward the back pocket
of his trousers. Adams grappled with
him without further parley. Coughlin
