SPOKANE. Wash, July IS Five or
six thousand visitors spent today In
Spokane waiting for the notaries to
open their offices here for registration,
or laying over to go to Coeur d'Alene,
Kalispell or Missoula tomorrow.
A large part of the influx came from
the South and West, Seattle,- Tacoma,
Portland and the California cities fur
nishing many prospective applicants.
Kvery hotel in the down town district
turned away hundreds of people.
The land office was closed all day.
Applications in Spokane Monday will
probably amount to 6000. on account of
the numbers waiting to register before
leaving for other application points.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands of peo

BIBLE IS MORE POPULAR
More Copies Sold Than Combined
Circulation of "Six Best Sellers."
ALBANY. Or., July 18. Special.)
No classes were held at the Summer
Bible School today, but sermons were
delivered both In the afternoon and
evening by leading Instructors In the
school. Dr. Leonard W. Riley, presi
dent of McMinnvllle College, preached
this afternoon in Bryant's Park, and
Dr. Milton O. Evans, of Crozer Theo
logical Seminary, of Chester. Pa., spoke
tonight in the First Methodist Church.
Both presented splendid discourses.
That the influence of the Bible is not
waning was the sentiment expressed
at a conference for the consideration of
that subject at the school yesterday
afternoon. Dr. E. C. Sanderson, of the
Eugene Bible University, who led the
conference, took this stand and all
speakers supported it. One fact cited
to show that the Influence of the Bible
Is increasing rather than waning is
that 50 per cent of the students of the
leading educational institutions of the
country are engaged in Bible study in
the Young Men's Christian Association
and otherwise. Formerly the per cent
was very small. Twice as many copies
of the Bible are being sold right now
in a year than all of the "six best
sellers'" combined, it was stated.

BAD GANG BAGGED
Woman's Jealousy Leads to
Capture at Seattle.
PORTLAND GIRL IN CASE
Mrs. O. M. Slater Poses as Wife of
Jovial Young ex-Convict, Leader
of Tbleves. and Green-Eyed
Monster Thereby Aroused.
SEATTLE. Wash.. July 18. (Special.)
Through the Jealousy of a woman. City
Detective Hudson C. Adams, of Seattle,
and Detective Sergeant Thomas Ryan, of
San Francisco, now working with the
local force under Captain of Detectives
Tennat has run to earth what the police
consider probably the most skilful gang
of thieves who ever operated in Seattle.
H. O. Moore, a laughing young ex-convict
from 9an Francisco, a burglar with
a reputation in half a dozen states, is
the leader of the band.
Calude Payne, a young man who says
he has made a living as a pickpocket,
has been Moore's assistant in several
jobs and is held as an accomplice. Mrs.
O. M. Slater, the runaway wife of a
Portland man. who posed as the wifo
of Moore here, is one of the women In
the ca. Upon her Moore lavished the
fruits of his plundering work. Steve
Arana, who was formerly a railroad em
ploye, assisted in disposing of the mass
of stolen goods.
Plunder Scattered Far and Wide.
All are now at the City Jail, duo to the
work of the San Frasclsco and Seattle
detectives, who for days have worked on
the case. Five diamonds, many watches.
Jewelry, a dosen or more rings, cutlery,
silver and other articles have already
been recovered, but are as yet unidenti
fied. Hundreds and possibly thousands
of dollars worth of additional plunder Is
scattered about Seattle. Vancouver. B.
C. Portland and Tacoma.
Moore . is now engaged In making; a
list of the plunder he and his gang have
peddled. Moore came here with Mrs.
Slater and the other two members of his
gang, he says, and started on a cam
paign of burglary. He finally tired . of
lavishing money on Mrs. Slater and met
the woman who was his downfall. She
basked in the sunshine of his smiles for
a while, but then the green-eyed mon
ster appeared, feomeone told her of the
existence of the other inamorata. Mrs.
Slater's existence had not been known
until then.
Woman, Jealous, Tells Police.
t
The newest addition to the objects of
affection In the Moore collection didn't
like the Idea of sharing the regard of the
young burglar with another woman.
Moore had foolishly confided In her, tell
ing her how handily he filched money
from unsuspecting householders and how
easily he eluded the police.
The second woman, the object of
Jealousy, decided she would have re
venge. She wonted to get even with the
man she believed had duped her. She
went to the police station, and there told
of her connection with Moore. She told
that he was a burglar. She admitted
shs was Jealous, but it was her informa
tion and not her motive that concerned
the police. They wanted the burglar.
Detective Adams and Detective Sergeant
Ryan went to work on the case and
landed the whole bunch.
The Jealous woman played her part
well. Moore, when he learned that he
had been betrayed, admitted practically
everything. Moore now admits he is an
ex-convict from California and that he
committed more than 100 burglaries here.

COURT'S TIME OCCUPIED
Prosecuting Attorney Invites Those
Who Believe They Have Evi
dence Against Roy Malone
to Present Findings.
HILLSBORO, Or., July IS. (Special.)
"'So plans have been made so far as I
know for summoning a special grand
Jury In Columbia County to Investigate
further the Livingstone murder case,"
said E. B. Tongue, District Attorney, to
day, i
Mr, Tongue returned ' home today from
St. Helens after spending a week at the
trial of George Murgatroyd, who was
acquitted on the charge of having killed
Livingstone, December 11, 1908, near Goble.
"I do not wish to be understood as say
ing that the matter has been entirely
dropped," continued Mr. Tongue., "But
the time is too short for calling a spe
cial session of the grand Jury, as the Cir
cuit Court convenes here Monday, and the
next regular term of court opens In St.
Helens in September. ,
"I have been quoted as saying that I
believed Roy Malone had something to
do with the murder of Livingstone.
Whether I have made that statement or
not, the fact remains that a person can
not be convicted of a crime on mere sus
picion. The only ground for suspicion
against Malone is found In one of his
own statements as a witness 1i the trial
of Murgatroyd. This statement could not
be used In a trial of Malone 1 indicted
for the murder for the reason that he
was not informed that any statements
he made might be used against him. As
defendant in such a trial he could not be
compelled to testify against himself.
"A good deal has been said by news
paper reporters and others as to evidence
they could produce against Malone. These
persons have not yet laid any of the
matters of which they claim knowledge
before the authorities, and I now invite
them to do so if they know anything."
Death Claims Mrs. Terrill.

Sidney Terrill, wife of Professor A. C.
Terrill, formerly of the school of mining

evening. Professor Terrill was attend
