S 1 1 R i E KIDNAPERS
DELEGATION AT CHICAGO
Six Northwest Temples, With Bear
and Valet, on AVay to Louisville
to Have Ellis Lewis Garretaon
Made Imperial Outer Guard.
CHICAGO, June . (Special.') One hun
dred Mystic Shriners, ensconced in a
luxurious special train that represents
the ransom paid by Edward H. Harri
man for his release from Oregon Shriner
kidnapers, arrived today en route to
Ioulsville, Ky., the Mecca of this year's
pilgrimage of the faithful. Accompany
ing the Shriners Is "Aflfl." a fighting
bear cub that has killed one cat and
wounded several dogs and potentates
sinca leaving the Pacific Coast. Accom
panying "Aflfl" is T. Sato San, a young
Japanese, who is known to Shriners
throughout Ihe land as the valet of Ellis
Iicwts Garretson, a prominent and
wealthy Shriner, who lives In Tacoma,
Wash.
Six Northwest Temples Aboard.
The "Kidnaper Special" was closely
followed by another special train bearing
Imperial Potentate E. T. Alderman and
the members of El Kahir Temple, of
Cedar Rapids, la. The two trains were
combined here, and the consolidated no
bles left at 1 o'clock tonight for Louis-'
vllle over the Monon.
The Shriners in the "Kidnaper Special"
represent six temples of the Northwest
Al Kader, of Portland, Or.; Aflfl, of Ta
coma, Wash.; Hillah, of Ashland, Or.;
Calam. of Lewlston. Idaho; El Catif. o'f
Spokane. Wash., and Glzah. of Victoria,
B. (. The crowning ambition of their
trip this time is to elect Ellis Lewis Gar-re-tson,
of Tacoma, to the office of impe
rial outer guard. The Northwest has
never held an ofllce In the imperial coun
cils of the Shriners. Hillah Temple, of
Ashland, Or., enjoys the distinction of
being the youngest child of the entire
Shriner family, and Ashland is the
smallest city in the world to boast a
Shrine.
Why Tlarrlman Is Willing.
Behind the fact that Mr. Harriman
feels called upon to give the Coast Shrin
ers what they want and when they want
it lies a tale. A year ago Mr. Harriman
spent several weeks at Pelican Lodge,
his hunting camp in Southern Oregon.
When he left camp and started for Port
land in his special train, orders were is
Hied to sidetrack every other train. One
of the.se trains happened to be a special
filled with Portland Shriners. When they
found themselves shunted to a siding
thvy decided to get even with Mr. Har
riman. Wizard Is Kidnaped.
As hlsfpecial approached they unfurled
ttieir immense red battle flag and waved
t across the track. The Harriman spe- I
cinl came to a stop, and the Shriners
swarmel Into Harriman's coach and kid
naped him before the train crew could
interfere. The railway wizard was
whisked along tho tracks to an impro-'
s vised platform, decked with a red fez,
and compelled to submit to a maze of
noetic rites. Then he was declared a
full-fledged Noble and was permitted to
depart, after he had promised faithfully
to perform anything his captors in the
future might command him to do.
Have Anything They Want.
In preparing the six temples of Shrin
ers for the Journey to Louisville, W. C.
Bristol, of Portland, wrote to Mr. Harri
man. and incidentally asked what ' they
might expect in the matter of accommo
dations. Mr. Harriman was game, for
ho telegraphed his general passenger
agent at Portland as follows:
"Uive that Shriner bunch anything
they want. Nothing too good for them."
tience the luxurious special train,
stocked with rare fruits, meats and every
scrt of delicacy and convenience.

Woman Leaves Room, Thugs
Enter by Window.
FOLLOW HER FROM CAR
Mrs. Mary Taylor- Sees Curtains
Move ' as Thugs Kscape Tenth
Street Residence Ransacked hy
Burglars Boys Suspected.
Her footsteps dodged to her very door
by two thugs shortly after midnight, Mrs.
Mary Taylor, a widow, who : lives at 52
North Ninth street, was robbed of her
purse containing nearly J100, after she had
entered her home, and narrowly escaped
a face-to-face encounter with the robbers.
Climbing through an open window the
prowlers gained access to her bedroom
and grabbed her purse which she had
placed upon the bed for a moment while
she had gone into ar.other room.
When she re-entered her bedroom Mrs.
Taylor noticed that the purse was missing
and looking up saw the curtains of the
window moving and the form of a man
disappearing rapidly from sight. Her
screams aroused the neighbors nnd a tele
phone message was sent to the police
for assistance. Two men were seen leav
ing the yard by way of the back fence
but no further trace of them was found.
Sergeant Kienlen was assigned to the
case and madi an investigation In the
neighborhood.
Mrs. Taylor did not notice it at the
time, but later recalled that two men
alighted from the car at Ninth and Gli
san streets at the same time she had
done so. She paid no further attention
to them, as she was not molested in any
way. The men evidently followed her
home, and observing her actions through
the lighted window, entered as soon as
she had left the room. The policeman
discovered a box which the men had
dragged beneath the window to aid them
in climbing in.
Another bold housebreaking was. re
ported to the police by Mrs. B. Lamber
son, of 3SS Tenth street. In the absence
of the family at church last night rob
bers gained entrance by using a skeleton
key on the front door and completely
ransacked the house. About $200 In jew
elry and $30 in money comprised the
loot taken by the looters. Every room
In fhe house was visited and turned up
side down in the search for valuables.
The list of stolen Jewelry includes one
lady's gold watch, one pink cameo pin,
one large white enamel pin set with
pearls, one large crescent pin set with
turquoise, two small crescent pins - set
with pearls, one opal ring, one pearl
ring, one carbuncle ring, two plain gold
rings, two gold stick pins and two gold
lace pins. From evidence gathered by
the police suspicion is directed to boys
as the perpetrators of the crime. The
arrests which are liable to follow will
probably be made in the neighborhood
of the robbery.

DECORATION DAY ORIGIN
Koseburg, Or., Pastor Gives Inter

ROSEBURG, Or., June 6. (To the Edi
tor.) The following information concern
ing Decoration day was given me by M.
J. Patton, who, during the Civil War,
was a member of Company G, Tenth
Ohio Cavalry, and who at present is In
the State Soldiers' Home of this city:
In the Spring of 1S68, Lincoln Post, G.
A. R., of Cincinnati, O., was discussing
the decoration of the graves of dead com
rades, and it appointed a committee of
three to attend to the matter. This com
mittee consised of Joseph Rudolphs, of

the Fifth Ohio, Tom Barry and M. J.
Patton, of the Tenth. For some reason,
Joseph Rudolph did not utilize his com
mittee, and at a later meeting of Lincoln
Post, M. J. Patton moved that the first
committee be dismissed and a second one
appointed, which should visit four other
posts, have committees appointed to work
with the Lincoln Post committee, and ar
range all matters for April 10, 186S, which
was to be the decoration day. It was to
be an entirely local affair and there was
no thought of making it National.
In the midst of the discussion. Colonel
William De Beck entered and asked the
comrades to leave the matter In his
hands, and added that he would take it
up with General John A. Logan. Lincoln
Post committee was glad to do so, and
ColoneLDe Beck wrote to General Logan,
who was delighted with the idea and is
sued orders that the G. A. R. of the en
tire United States should take up the
idea and should carry it out May 30.
Such was the origin of our Decoration
day ceremonies. It was entirely G. A. R.
Colonel William TJe Beck is at present
residing at 4420 Champlain avenue, Chi
cago, and he and Comrade Patton still
keep up a very interesting correspond
ence. Comrade Patton is the only one left
of the original Lincoln Post committee.

First Visitor Until Near
Close of Day.
SEATTLE, June 6. An Idaho man,
thoroughly imbued with the progressive
spirit of his home state, was the first
man through the big gates of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition when the fair
opened June 1.
This man from Idaho, J. Fremont Bow,
of Nampa, must have boarded an early
car, for he was standing up dangerously
near one of the coin machines about 20
minutes past 8 o'clock on opening morn
ing. C. R. Collins, treasurer of the Exposi
tion, happened by just at that minute
and decided to open the big show. Ap
proaching Bow, he said:
"Young man, you will be the first per
son through the gates of the A.-Y-P.
Drop in your money."
At first Bow did not exactly compre
hend the situation. He sort of let the
half dollar slip from his fingers, and was
shoved through the turnstile, soon to be
followed by more than 90,000 persons,
the attendance that marked the opening
day of the Fair.

Oregon City Manufacturing Co. Sets
Mark in Willamette Valley for
3 0,0 0 0 Pounds.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 6 (Special.)
The Oregon City Manufacturing Com
pany has purchased a pool of wool at
Sclo. Linn County, paying 21.81 cents per
pound. This is said to be the highest
price paid for wool in. the Willamette
Valley this year.
The company which operates one of the
largest woolen mills in the West, had a
representative on the ground . and en
tered into competition with Eastern and
local concerns, as the pool was auctioned
off at public sale to the highest bidder.
About 4000 fleeces were purchased,
amounting to nearly 30,000 pounds.
This sale of wool is far out of the or
dinary transaction in this valley and
establishes the Oregon City Manufac
turing Company as one of the leading
ool buying factories in the West.

MILLS OF LESS ACCOUNT
Statistics Sent Senator Showing
News Disseminators Pay. Seven
Times What Paper Manufac
turers Do for Labor Alone.
NEW YORK, June 6. John Norris,
chairman of the committee on paper cf
the American Newspaper Publishers' As
sociation, forwarded today to Senator
Root a letter setting forth new data on
paper duties.
Mr. Root's attention is directed to a
comparison of his newspaper and period
ical constituency as compared with h)&
paper mill constituency, and the state
ment is made that the newspapers of
New York state pay seven times as much
for labor as all the news print paper
mills. It is set forth the. labor cost cf
of a ton of paper Is less In ths United
States than in Canada, the average pay
per day in this state being J1.65. Senator
Root Is asked to consider also the serious
menace to the forests of the state
hrough the destruction of spruce.
Mr. Norris says:
"Newspapers are entitled to consider
ation from you, even if you ignore the
extraordinary functions they perform in
disseminating intelligence, in promoting
knowledge and in facilitating ' the
work of government. Those who read
the papers are in complete touch w'th the
work of the Administration, and the fur
therance of the newspapers mission Is
worthy of your serious effort. An In
crease in the consumption of paper is due
to the increasing intelligence of the peo
ple." CONGRESS BEGINS TO SEE END
Rapid Progress May Bring Adjourn
ment by July 4.
WASHINGTON. June 6. Having acted
upon most of the vexed problems in tho
cotton schedule last week, the Senate
expects to complete this schedule on
Monday or Tuesday. This will bring the
Senate face to face with the woolen
schedule, which is virtually a re-enactment
of the Dingley rates but neverthe
less will be fought by the "Progressive
Republicans" aided by Democrat Senators.
As night sessions will be held through
out the week, indications point to the
completion of the woolen schedules by
Thursday or Friday t
No programme has been outlined as to
the schedules to be taken up next, but It
is probable some work will be done upon
the free list. The finance committee has
been called to meet Monday to outline the
policy of the Senate so far as it Is con
cerned. The date- will be fixed also for
reporting amendments on a number of
questions not acted upon.
On account of the progress made last
week. Senate leaders are predicting the
bill will be voted upon in the-Senate by
June 19, and Congress will be ready to
adjourn before July 4.
