drews from that point. 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

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."

Six thousand copies of the pro
gramme pamphlet for the annual meet
ing of the Oregon Dairymen's Associa
tion, to be held In the Woodmen of the
World Hall. Eleventh and Alder streets,
December 7 and 8. have been sent to
the dairymen throughout the state. Dis
tribution was facilitated by the fac
tory men who sent them out with their
monthly statement to the dairymen.
"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.

Mr. Shook. "Their presence Is needed

each address, for In that Is the meat
of the subject brought out."
Chief Rawl. of the dairy division.

three speakers from his staff. F. H.

one of the best herd of Jerseys In the

PRIZE FILM AT MAJESTIC
"Golden "Wedding" Awarded First
Place at Exposition.
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.

Squaw's Estate May Go to Orphans.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 26. 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.
