ARREST IS NOT YET MADE Arriving From Salt Lake, Mr. Ec cles Calls to See Attorney, Then Kotlfies United States Mar shal That He, Is in City. David Eccles, the only official ot the Oregon Lumber Company named In the secret Indictment returned by the Fed ral' grand jury on Thursday of last week, yesterday made good the prom ise of Grant Oeddes, of Baker City, that he would voluntarily appear In Portland and give bond to answer the charges. Mr. Eccles arrived about 3 o'clock: on a late train over the Oregon Railway t& Navigation Company lines. He was met at the Central Station by an auto mobile in charge of his brother, "Will Jam H. Eccles, of Hood River, and Orant Geddes, and whirled away to the office of his attorney, Zera Snow, at tie corner of Second and Stark Streets. After a short conference with the lawyer, the Salt Lake millionaire, lum berman and sugar king called the of fice of United States Marshal Reed over the telephone and advised that official of his presence. Mr. Eccles remained In the offices of the attorney until after o'clock, when he went to the Oregon Hotel, where he Joined the family of ihls brother. - Eocles Delays Statement. "When importuned for a statement as to his position concerning the charge that he had become a member of a conspiracy to defraud the United States of an immense quantity of tim ber land In Baker County, through the use of entrymen who previously con tracted to sell the land and for whose claims the Oregon Lumber Company and the Sumpter Valley Railroad Com pany are alleged to have furnished the money, Mr. Eccles said: ' "I will not be in a position to make any statement for the benefit of the public until I have had time to go over the entire situation with Mr. Snow. He has not received a copy of the indict ment as yet, and we are in the dark as to the exact terms of the charges against me. "I will appear tomorrow for the pur pose of giving bond in whatever sum the court may deem fit to fix. but at this time no arrangements have been made among my friends who may wish to do me that service. "I received notice of the indictment at my home in Ogden, Utah, last Thursday night, and at once wired Mr. Snow that I would leave on Saturday night for Portland, arriving here Mon day morning. The programme was car ried out, with the exception of the late arrival of the train, for which I am not responsible. I stopped one day in Baker City to look after business in terests'. Indicted Man Not Under Arrest'. "I shall stay here such time as may le necessary to get our side of - the controversy in motion, but am unable to Bay what Mr. Snow may deem advis able. I have a good many interests, and, of cfourse, intrust .them to a good many men. I don't know what some of them may have done. All of the men indicted have been or are em ployes of the Oregon Lumber Company. Some of them may own stock in the company. I am sure Mr. Geddes does." At a later hour the Eccles family joined friends in the city at a dinner party. F. H. Atkinson, F. M. Shurtleff and "William Green,. Jointly indicted, with Mr. Eccles, furnished bond yesterday e.t Baker City. David Eccles has never been placed under arrest, largely because of the assurance given by his Baker City manager. Grant Geddes. When the in dictment was- filed by the grand Jury, Marshal Reed telephoned to Mr. Geddes e.t the Imperial Hotel. Gedderf imme diately called at the Federal Building -na furnished bona. "While in the office of the United .ntates Marshal the Baker City man was informed that David Eccles would be arrested at his Utah home, and Mr. Geddes at once entered a protest e.galnst bringing the distinguished cltl ren of Utah to Portland under arrest. ;He offered a bond for his appearance i-when wanted, which was refused. Then en arrangement was perfected whereby 'i&r. Eccles should be notified to come ,o the coast. Grand Jury Still In Session. The United States grand Jury was In session yesterday, but devoted most of the day to the consideration of vio lations of the postal laws. It Is not probable that Mr. Eccles will appear as a witness. Robert Service, the Baker City mill- man, who has been designated as the man who brought about the indict ment, is still at the Hotel Scott. Mr. Service denies the acts attributed to him. He said: "The credit, if any. for the Inquiry Into the operations of the timber and etone act in Eastern Oregon belongs to Inspector Good and his assistants. have never harbored a grudge against any of the men indicted, never gathered evidence against them or devoted my finances to developing a case against the Oregon Lumber Company or the Sumpter "Valley Railroad company. "In 1900 I wrote a letter to the Sec retary of the Interior, to which little attention was paid, and at no time since have I been concerned in the matter more than any good citizen should be after being called -upon by the Government's agents, in no case did I permit personalities to enter into this matter, being prompted solely in what I have done by business reasons which the men indicted unaerstana.

Boy Is 12 ' Years Old and Parents Fear Accident- Had Desire to "Work After School Hours. Lloyd, son. of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Born, of 315 Twelfth street, will be 13 years old today, but his parents are sorrowful because he is not home to receive' the little birthday remem brances which have been an unfailing Incident of the 12 preceding anniversaries. Kissing hla mother goodbye shortly before noon Sunday, Lloyd left ' his Twelfth-street home to attend Sunday school. He did not return that day and a thorough search by . his parents has failed to reward them with the slightest trace of their boy. Mr. and Mrs. Born are not inclined to think that the lad deliberately ran away from home, but fear he has met with an accident. "There is only one circumstance which makes me think Lloyd may have run away from home," said Mrs. Born yesterday. "For some time he has been ambitious to find work after school hours. Last Friday he did not attend the public school but spent the day looking for a place to work. When he returned home I told him his teach er had notified me of his truancy that day. He asked me to intercede with the teacher that he might escape the punishment which awaited him. I told him I could not do .so and at the same time sought to convince him that he should attend school regularly and after he got his ' education, he could then seek employment. "It Is barely possible that fear of punishment at the school may have . - - Lloyd, 13-Year-Old Son of Mr. and Mrs. H. L.

When he left' home Sunday the lad wore a dark blue serge suit, with Short trousers, black shoes and stock ings; gray -hat with a dark gray band and a necktie with blue and white stripes each about one-quarter of an Inch wide. He has very dark brown eyes with hair to match. Newport Church to Enlarge Edifice. NEWPORT, Or., March 14. (Special.) At a special meeting of the trustees of the Presbyterian.'

FUND GONE, LAND OFFICE DROPS 15 work of clearing the public domain of il legal fences will also be retarded. Salary Appropriation Used, Ballinger Cuts Down Local Field Service Staff. MEN TO TAKE FURLOUGHS Coin Not Available "Until July il. Men I vet Out Obtain Other Em ployment, May Return. Business Retarded. The appropriation of funds for salaries and expenses for the fiscal year ending June. 30, 1910. having been exhausted, the Secretary of the Interior has ordered that the services -of 15 employes of the field service of the General Land Office, for the Portland district .be dispensed with under furloughs. The men on whom the ax has fallen are: Special Agents G. F Mead, F. S. Reld, Robert MoGulre, W. M. Allen, C. F. For- aker and J. P. Lavm.- Practical Miners Samuel Powell, Jr.. W. R. Davey and G. A. Parks. Mr. Parks is from Seattle. Timber Cruisers H. P. Kennedy of Seat tle; G. A. Lovegren and R. A. Hunt. Stenographers August Amend and A. de B. Kops. Land Law Clerk T. E. J. Duffy. It is not believed that the new appro priation for field work will be available before July 1. In the meantime there will be no way of retaining the men In reach of the Portland headquarters. Sam Powell, Jr., Is a' son of a well known operator on the Chicago Board of Trade and has already made arrange ments to pay a visit to his home city Later he will engage in mining at some Western point W. R. Davey is from Colorado, to which place he will return ;at once. J. P, Lavln, special agent, has secured a trans fer to Ralston, N. M., and will leave for that point as soon as his orders arrive. C. F. Foraker is a relative ofv ex-Senator Foraker, of Ohio, and expects to remain on the Coast and engage in other busi ness. B. J. Duffy, special agent, has made arrangements to open a law office in Crook County and will be appointed a deputy prosecuting attorney for that dis trict. Fred A. Reid has Joined E. O. Tooker In a land and timber business with offices in this city. Robert A. Mc- Guire will join the law Arm -of Colvig & Reames, at Medford. All of the special agents who 'were temporarily deprived of their positions nave rjeen admitted to practice law in some of the states of the Union and those who have not already secured berths in law omces will seek such employment. The clerks will probably await an oppor tunity to return to the service. The en forced furlough Is not considered to be in any manner discreditable. At the office of Chief of Field Service Chrstensen the action of the department Is regretted as hampering the efflciencv of the service. It is said that at no time In the history of the Oregon-Wash ington . district have so many homestead entries. tlroDer claims and other land fll-, lngs awaited investigation.

The forming of regular habits is most im portant and while endeavoring to form them the assistance of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is most val uable, as it is the only laxative which acts without disturbing the natural functions and without debilitating and it is the one laxative which leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition, thereby really aiding one in that way. To get Its beneficial effects, buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna Is never classed by the well-informed with medicines which make extravagant and unfounded claims to cure habitual constipation without personal co-operation. .

READ THE FOLLOWING AND YOU WILL KNOW: THEN BE GOVERNED BY EXPERIENCE OP ONE OF THE LARGE 'T DEALERS IN UNI 1 ED STATES DO YOU WANT THE BEST? The following advertisement was taken from the Musical Courier Extra, of February 26, 1910, being a reproduced ad. of The Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the largest piano dealers in the United States: COPY OF AO. "The Steinway Pianola Piano is sold in Cincinnati by The Rudolph "Wurlitzer Co. Also the Steinway Welte Player Piano, which is the Steinway Piano with the Artistic Welte Autograph Player built into its case a superb instrument, which commands an even higher price than the Steinway Pianola Piano. With the acquisition of the Aeolian Co. Pianola Piano, v. a now represent the 12 LEADING' MAKES Or PLAYEE. PIANOS. "We shall continue to feature the MELVILLE CLARK APOLLO FLAYER-PIANO as we know the Apollo to be the best player piano the world has ever seen. We have player pianos of nearly all other makes, including Weber, Steck, and Stuyvesant Pianola Pianos, that were taken in trade by us toward Apollos after only slight use. These are now on sale at greatly reduced prices. "Wurlitzer's is the only store in Cincinnati (or any other city) where you can see AT YT, the leading makes of player pianos. ' Here you can make a side-by-side comparison of a dozen makes and see for yourself the superiority of the APOLLO above all other makes." WE TOLD YOU SO. NOW PLEASE REMEMBER For eight years the APOLLO was the only player with a range of 88 notes, or the -entire keyboard of piano; others played only 65 and fought the APOLLO complete-keyboard idea. Within the past year, when the success of the APOLLO 88-note player promised to crowd the 65-note instrument from the market, other manufacturers have come out with S8-note players. The fact that during these eight years the. APOLLO Player Piano was the only 88-note instrument on the market has won for it a wide patronage and unquestioned popularity. As a result, there are more 88-note APOLLO Player Pianos in use today than the combined product of all other 88-note player factories Then again, the APOLLO is the only player piano made that can play the 65-note and the wide and narrow standard 88-note music rolls, thus giving access to larger number of musical selections than all other players on the market. ' DON'T YOU THINK it worth investigating! We do, and we are willing to abide by your decision, after seeing them all. Would be pleased to have you call at any time and see and hear it.
