Foley still hold Andrew' trunk and some valua ble for room rent owing to him. He expected that some day Andrew would call for hi belonging and was much surprised to learn last night that An drew and his wife had really taken their own live and that their bodies had been found In Kansas City Satur day. Andrew "kited" several check while her and worked a clever scheme, ably aided by his wife, when It came to get Una; a check cashed. The two would enter the establishment of the vlctlm-to-be, and Andrew would ask If he could get a check cashed. Just as the person to be victimised would ask: "How large is it?" Mra Andrews would Interrupt with the well-worn phrase, "Now, clalr, don't draw on our ac count. I have enough money to do us for a few day." According to those who know, the talk of apparent wealth generally won, and the checks, though for small amounts, were cashed and then came back marked "no funds." Those who knew Andrews and his ways say that, for a time, he repre sented himself to be connected with the Portland Land Fuel Company. A no such firm can be found In the Port land directory It la believed that Andrews himself was "The Portland Land Fuel Company." It was learned that following hi sudden disappearance from Portland -he was again heard from In Tennessee where he became Involved with a bank through cTishlng a bad check and the American Hankers Association Immed iately put their sleuths on his trail. This was In July. It Is believed that from Tennessee Andrew and his wife worked their way back to Kansas City. Speaking of Andrews' operation here. O. J. Schel. president of the Clearvlew Orchard Company, with offi ces In the Teon building, said last night: "Andrews was president of the Clear view Orchard Company for two months from April till the latter psrt of Mny and when ha found that we hsd the 'goods' on him he skipped out before we could get an accounting with him. Fortunately we were well pro tected. We heard later that he went to VJanada and thence eastward over the Canadian Paelflo road via the Soo through North Dakota and for a time operated in the Twin Cities, then Chi cago. Pittsburg, then southward and when we last heard from him he was operating In Louisville. Ky. It was the Louisville police. I believe, that sent word here asking about him. When he found he was shadowed I goes he left for Kansas City, for It was about September that he Is ssld to havejwrltten hi mother at Bar boo. Wis., that he Intended to kill himself, and that she would find his body In Kansas City. At first I thought this a hoax to get his creditors here off the track as my Information came through an attorney who has since left the city. ' But apparently It was true snd he fooled the sleuths." "Andrews was probably one of the biggest and cleverest crooks who ever worked this part of the country and I would venture the assertion that he got sway with easily 1 10.000 In this ctty In the year and one-half he operated here." said Samuel Olson, a Portland attorney last night. "I knew Andrews and I know of two cases in court here now In which he I Involved." Prlmarx Voting Day Longer. SALEM. Or- Nov. !. (Special.)

"The need of stronger organization among the dairymen has been grad ually making Itself felt," said M. 8. Shook, secretary of the association, yesterday. "Dairy product are In greater demand than any other farm product, yet under the preent method the producer ha no voice In the deal by which hi product Is taken to the consumer. Singly the dairyman will not be recognised by the consumer, the factoryman or the middleman. As an organisation they can deal as other business men deal. Members Aid I'rged. "The association needs the presence, the Influence snd the financial support of every dairyman In the state, and when we get these the dairymen of Oregon will prosper as never before." The speakers at the meeting will tell their experiences on the dairy farm in detail. The little things that count In dairying, a well as In any other work or business, will be treated In a way designed to make the meeting profitable. because some or tne oia sianaDys. npon whose shoulders has rested the burden of many a former meeting are not on the programme it doe not fol low that they are eliminated." said Mr. Shook. "Their presence Is needed to enliven the discussions that follow each address, for In that Is the meat of the subject brought out." Chief Rawl. of the dairy division.

One of the best films yet seen at the Majestic Is that called "The Golden Wedding." shown for the first time yesterday.. - This film took the grand prize at the International Cinemato graphic Exposition at which all the leading manufacturers were repre sented. The opening scene shows a distin guished Frenchman nnd his wife re ceiving the members of their family at their golden wedding anniversary. The old gentleman begins then the story of how he earned the medal he Is wearing, the succeeding films pic turing his words. He was an officer tn the war of 1838 and his detachment had been surrounded. He manages to steal through the lines, and with the aid of one of the enemy's horses gets word to a body of his troops. The films Showing the pursuit and the battle which followed the arrival of the re lieving troops has been managed with startling realism. The story of he well-known poem, " 'Ostler Joe." Is given In an Interest ing series of pictures. An amusing film is that showing how the wife of a baseball player who felt neglect, with the aid of the baseball manage ment persuaded her husband to give up his place In the league after a spectacular success. The film is pre ceded by a series of photographs of well-known plByers, taken on the Chi cago grounds. The Majestic quartet sings "The Rosary" and for encore gives a humor ous song about the limelight, while the lights of the theater are flashed up and down, as If the operator were indulging In a spree.

Mrs. Mary Jeffs, a full-blood Indian, widow of Richard Jeffs, a white pioneer of the White River Valley, died today at her home near Auburn, on the Jeffs farm, aged 73 years. Three years ago Jeffs died, leaving $700,000 to be di vided between the widow and the Jeffs orphans' home, to be established on the farm. Mrs. Jeffs could not read or write and In her efforts to administer her share of the estate she became in volved in litigation with relatives who, she alleged, had tried to defraud her. Lawyers were awarded fat fees against the estate, and the unhappy woman's health was undermined by worry over the lawsuits. She frequently had ex pressed a desire that her fortune go to the Jeffs orphans' home, and this disposition probably will be made of it. Insane Man Attacks Guard. SALEM, Or., Nov. 26. (Special.)
