Store Clerks Are Arrested at Fifth and Washington for Insult ing Passerby. , ... Two smartly-dressed youths, giving the names of Harry J. Miles and Frank Prltchard. who evidently have not passed their 21st year, were arrested at 10 o'clock last night for annoying women at Fifth and Washington streets. Deputy Sheriff W. P. Llllls took the young fellows Into custody and rfiade complaint against them at the police station. As theywere unable to furnish ball Captain Moore ordered them locked up for the night. Miles says he is a clerk with the Honeyman Hard ware .Company, and Prltchard asserts he is employed by Ben Levy & Co., wholesale dealers In producei Their antics on the street embar rassed a number of women and finally drew a large crowd. Accompanied by two other young fellows, who left when the Deputy Sheriff appeared, they had emerged from a saloon at the corner and were going up Washington street bowing and making remarks at all the women they passed. Before leaving the saloon they had made a raid on the free-lunch counter and had grabbed several handfuls of sandwiches, which they threw into the street and Into the faces of some of the passersby. One of , the pair cast a sandwich into the face of a reflned-lookmg girl, who tried to avoid them, and they shouted at her: "Lookout, sweetheart!' As they proceeded up the street they were seen to bump purposely Into women and then gather round them in a rude way. feigning an apology. When inside the jail one of them requested Jailer Burke to lodge them upstairs, where exclusive prisoners are kept. "This place la not good enough for us; we are gentlemen," said he. "All right; I've seen your kind be fore," retorted Burke. "Certainly I'll put you upstairs; right In this way." and with that he ushered them Into a cell already crowded .with drunken derelicts. "Climb into the upper bunk. That will be upstairs for you tonight," said Burke, and he turned the lock on them. They will be hailed before the Police Judge today.

The Porte has decided to recognize King Ferdinand's title as King of the Bulgarian the spurious notes, .was readily located near Simpsonville, because the agent, approached by Deputy United States Marshal Blaydes. remembered that a "fat guy" in alighting from a train some days ago had called him "old sport." The treachery ascribed by John Rob erts is against his brother, Marion, who. he says, stole some of the Mexican notes from the trunk, and uied them to make the proposition to J. M. Fetter & Com pany, Louisville brokers, which led to Marion Roberts' capture. Plates Buried In River. John Roberts, who with his brother is in Jail under a $15,000 Federal bond, de clares that when he had made his mil lion he had considered it enough for any man. and had. - one dark night, sunk the plates In the Ohio River. John Roberta examined Mexican money carefully when he was employed as engi neer on a Mexican railroad, and for the last five years in New York he had been experimenting in ' the making of pesos, until his work became almost perfect. Had Marion Roberts shared only the small ambitions of his brother, and been content to go with John a week ago to Mexico and dispose of the "million," John declares they would have been living off the proceeds for years to come. John Roberts, who was in charge of the making of the spurious money; Marl on Roberts. John's brother, who handled the negotiable end of it; Nannie Harp, Marion Huper and Will Koenig, who con fessed to having printed the notes, were all arrested. The final details of the plot exposed by the police and J. M. Fetter & Co., Louis ville brokers approached by Marion Rob erts, show that the plans of the brothers contemplated "faking" even stock certifi cates of the railroads such as the Louis ville & Nashville and Pennsylvania. Issu ing counterfeit money to pay for them and conducting an imaginary business with Imitation collateral. The brass-bound trunk with $1,000,000 In Mexican notes is the most important capture. In a statement to the press this fore noon, W. G. Osborne, the broker of J. M. Fetter & Co.. who revealed the affair to the poliqe, said that Marion Roberts had told him the headquarters of the gang were In Wall street. New York City.

TROOPS SURROUND REYES (Continued from nrst Page.) sible successor to President Dial desired to make a big demonstration. General Trevlno. however, denied the use of mili-' tary bands and prohibited the mammoth display of fireworks planned. The matter was called to take place in the Alameda, the public square of the city. Clandestine Masons Back Reyes. One of the most dangerous elements of the situation Is said to be the alleged called meeting of all the clandestine lodges of Masons throughout the Monte rey section. It is said these self-styled Masons have pledged themselves to sup port Reyes. President Diaz is a thirty third degree Mason of the recognized branch of Masonry of Mexico.

It has been the custom for years to make this day a general holiday and to decorate the principal buildings through out the city with bunting and electric lights. All of these features were lack ing this time.

The penitentiary, which adjoins the Alameda, was reported to be filled with federal troops. REYES SEEKING WAR FORCES Reports Indicate That Revolution Is Being Quietly Planned. BEAUMONT, Tex., Aug. 20.

Bristow, of Kansas, Believes He Should Be Accorded Honor, but He Has Rivals. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 20. Since the death of Rep resentative Cushman, of Washington, there has been much haggling among Senators and Members as to who now becomes the "homeliest man in Con gress." While Cushman lived there was none to question his title. But now that he is gone, there is a diversity of opin ion. Just as there is a diversity of home liness. , A great many people are Inclined to ac cord the title to Senator J. L. Bristow, of Kansas. That Bristow is homely, there is no denying. He does not deny it him self. And what is more, his homeliness is decidedly of the Cushman type. Per haps this fact accounts for a general In clination to accord him the title long held by Cushman. Bristow has a close competitor In the person of Senator Johnson, of North Da kota. Johnson, like Bristow, is a new Senator, and were it not for Bristow would readily be voted the homeliest man in the Senate. The House, however, has a few men who are candidates for the distinction of being the "homeliest man in Congress." Hamilton Fish, of New York, stands well to the front; Representative Macon, the diminutive member from Arkansas, whose resemblance to Dr. Mary Walker la very striking Is also a likely candidate; while Steenerson. of Minnesota, "Bull" Andrews, of New Mexico, and Bartlett, of Georgia, are all strong when it comes to homeliness. It would be difficult to sort out the homeliest man in this group, but the Judges will not go far wrong if they choose any one of them. IS CANNON'S PUNISHMENT OF IN SURGENTS HELPS SOLONS. Constituents Welcome Home Men Who Braved Wrath of Con gressional Leaders. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 20. According to reports that get back to Washington, many of the Senators who "Insurged" against Aid rich, and not a few of the Congressmen who "insurged" against Speaker Cannon, strengthened themselves with their con stituents, even if they weakened them selves with the powers that be in Con gress. The great ovations tendered Sena tor Beverldge In Indiana, and Senator Cummins in Iowa, are evidence that the people of those two states are proud of their Senators, and thoroughly satisfied with their republicanism. And yet Senator Aldrlch. in the late days of the session. In effect declared that Beverldge and Cummins, and those who acted with them, were not Republi cans according to present day standards. The House members who rebelled against Cannon did so. In most Instances, because Cannonlsm Is a live issue in their districts. The fact that the Speaker un dertook to punish the Insurgents by de priving the older ones of good commit tee places, and assigning all to positions of no Importance, seems to have placed these insurgents in the attitude of mar tyrsat least in the eyes of their home people something that Cannon probably did not figure upon when ne aeaii out oaa medicine. Instead of humiliating them before their constituents, the Speaker has probably strengthened these members, and made it easier than ever for them to return to Congress. Thus, they will continue to plague the Speaker, and continue their fight against his dictation In the next. Congress, provided Mr. Cannon is again a member.

HOLDS JUDGE RESPONSIBLE Counsel Grows Gently Sarcastic in Speaking of Efforts of Inquiry Board to Mete Out Jus tice and Honor. WASHINGTON. Aug. . Sharply criti cising the conclusions of the court of in quiry which recently reinvestigated the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, of the U. S. M. C, Henry El Davis, coun sel for Mrs. Sutton, mother of the dead officer, in a statement today declared that the Judge Advocate was derelict in his duty in not confirming the 'two legal prop ositions submitted by Mr. Davis. Had he done so and the court heeded him, Davis says. "It would have been absolutely obliged to exclude the hypothesis of sui cide, and almost certainly to exclude the hypothesis of a wound self-inflicted as the explanation of the cause of Lieutenant Sutton's death." , Two Points for Thought. Of the two propositions Davis said that one of them related to' the "quality and extent of evidence necessary to a verdict of suicide, and the other was as to the conditions under which a phenomenal ex planation of a given situation In this case, the nature of Lieutenant Sutton's wound could be accepted." In view of the findings and opinion of the court of Inquiry, especially the fifth1 opinion that the charges of Mrs. Sutton were "unsupported by even a shadow of reason," Mr. Davis declares he feels it to be his duty to Lieutenant Sutton's moth er, whom, he says, "has so faithfully sought to relieve her son trom the stig ma of suicide," to submit a statement for the consideration of the public. He re fers to the language used in the decision of the court as "eminently unjudicial and unnecessarily harsh." "I am impelled to this course in large part." said Davis, "by the apprehension that those who know only ' so much of the case as the press has found It pos sible to publish, may be led to think that the determination of a body of officers in the military service of the country must be a righteous result, and that Mrs. Sut ton's .attitude may have been justly esti mated by those to wliom the honor of the service, as well as the cause of Justice, was for the oocasion committed." Mr. Davis concluded by saying that the statement is on his own responsibility, and is given out without conference with any other person."- . : Mr. Davis declined to state what further action he would take,- although it was made out that the case would not be dropped. He left the city today to be absent until October, and said that upon his return he would announce his pur poses. - :. ' Ignored Evidence for Sutton. Accusing the court .of inquiry of cull ing from mixed and contradictory tes timony certain statements almost, If not exclusively, those of the accused, which the court finds "standing out clearly, distinctly and beyond dispute or cavil," Mr. Davis declares the court conveniently rejected every statement, whether of the accused or of other wit nesses, in conflict therewith, Mr. Davis then takes up the sixth finding, which declared that Sutton "was killed by a revolver shot from a service Colt revolver, held In his own right hand and fired by himself, with out the intervention of any other hand," and, after . quoting upon this point from the testimony of Lieutenant Adams, both before the Inquest and the board of inquiry, he declares If Adams' statement be true, obviously the fatal shot was not fired from the Colt revolver. "It was agreed on all hands," de clared Mr. Davie, "that immediately prior to the final encounter, Sutton had two revolvers, one a Colt and the other a Smith & Wesson, and before the fatal shot was fired someone had taken one away from him, and an attempt was being made to get the . other at the time or immediately after the fatal shot was fired.'" Calling attention further to Lieuten ant Adams' testimony. In which he Is declared to have said the shot with which Sutton is alleged to have killed himself was fired from "the little re volver," Mr. Davis says the signifi cance of the fact that Adams, the pnly witness who stated that he saw Sutton in the act of shooting himself, thus identifies the Smith & Wesson as the revolver used by Sutton In the alleged act, is too obvious for comment.

"that the charges of wilful murder and conspiracy to conceal It," made by the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, are "purely Imaginary and unsupported by even a shadow of evidence, truth or reason." Mr. Davis stated that the average civil ian mind wUl have some difficulty In comprehending this "statement, and de clares that the court was not convened to try any supposed charges of Mrs. Sutton, but to fix the responsibility of Lieutenant Sutton's death. Mr. Davis says. In presenting the case, he dealt exclusively with the tes timony produced before the court and upon that testimony "sought the judg ment for which I contended; namely, that Lieutenant Sutton did not die by his own hand, whether intentionally or accidentally, and the court's opinion im mediately under consideration was, and is, wholly gratuitous." Reference is made to the action of the Judge Advocate, who. Mr. Davis, stated, placed Mrs. Sutton, who was originally only a party to the inquiry, first as a complainant before the court, and next as a defendant, "against whom the energies of those interested In the accused officers were thenceforth directed." DISMISSED CADETS CHEERED Remarkable Demonstration Made by Boys at AVest Point. ' NEW FORK, Aug. 20. An unusual and striking incident characterized the last hours at the' West Point Military Academy of six of the seven cadets dis missed from the Institution for hazing Redondo Sutton, brother of the late Lieutenant Sutton, of the Marine Corps, whose death was tne subject of a re cent nvestigation at Annapolis. Having packed up ther belongings and settled their accounts with the post offices, the six young men appeared on the parade ground Just before evening parade. The bugle sounded and the cadet corps marchea upon .the field, at one side of which stood the disgraced youths, -nnappily watching the scene. As the line broke into column of pla toons to march in review, the six youngsters came to a smart attention. When the companies were marching back into the streets of the camp, the six cadets slowly followed to have a last look at their tents. . ucn ranks were broken the mem bers of the corps gathered around their dismissed comrades, shook their hands, patted them on the back and uttered all manner of encouraging words. The six young men were uncertain whether to enter the mess hall at supper time, but their former companions Insisted on- their eating a last supper there. It was a mixture of sadness and at times jocularity, for the dismissed men were among the most popular at the acad emy. They were accompanied to the railroad station by dozens of sympa thizers.
