COLLEGE HEAD NEXT MOVE President of Federated School to Be Xamcd by Trustees. Election of a president of the pro posed Federated College of the con ferences of the United Brethren. United Evangelical and Evangelical Associa tions, which has been located at Philo math, will be the next step In the di rection of a standardized college. Rev. C. C Poling, member of the commis sion, which accepted the offer from Philomath, said that the commission will probably be called on to recom mend a president of the college and put him Into the Held so that the United College may open Its doors in September, but the board of trustees, which will be elected by the three con ferences will have the power of elec tion with or without the recommenda tion of the commission. Mr. Poling said yesterday that the outlook for the consolidated college Is encouraging, and that the progressive spirit shown by the people of Philo math is an Important asset for the union college. "Corvallls and Benton county, said he, "got behind the effort to locate the colllege at Philomath with marked unanimity. We need as the head of the union college the best educator that we can obtain to work out the .federated principle for a great Chris tian College." Bishop Bell, who presided, left for California at the close of the confer ence. He will be back In Oregon June 4, when the conference of the United Brethren Church will meet In Tillamook. WHEELER "BOBS UP" AGAIN Portland Bank Cleric Missing Since Last October Is In Texas. A new chapter In the strange story of Bruce Wheeler, a young bank clerk who disappeared from Portland last Oc tober, deserting his wife. Is furnished through Inquiries received here yester day by the County Attorney at Dallas, Tex, where the missing man now Is. The official says that Wheeler tele graphed to him from Montana some weeks ago, saying that he bad been captured In Portland and conveyed to the mountains, where he was forced to cook for a gang of outlaws till he escaped by knocking bis guard on the head and walking aay and night till he reached a railroad. The writer says that Wheeler shows evidences of hav ing had hard treatment. His story Is not credited here, be cause it Is almost Identical with one contained In a letter which was sent to his relatives from North Yakima, in which the scene of the mountain cave In which he was detained was placed near that city.

Indian Service Supervisor, Here, Bays Graves Method Slay Be Tried in Oregon Experiments. Reclamation of logged-off lands on the Indian reservations is a problem with which the United States Govern ment has been wrestling for some time and Oscar H. Lipps, supervisor of the Indian Service in the Northwest, says that he believes the Government will begin this reclamation work on a large scale If a satisfactory method of clearing stumps and placing such land in an arable condition can be secured. Mr. Lipps was in Portland yesterday and conferred with W. H. Graves, a former Indian agent and promoter of a method of clearing logged-off lands. If Mr. Graves' method is found satis factory and the Government deoides to test It out, the first experiment proba bly will be made on the lands of the reservations in Oregon and Washing ton. From the sale of timber on the allot ments In various reservations Mr. Lipps says that the tribes have on band considerable tribal funds which may be applied to this reclamation work. In a similar method much reclamation work has been done In ir rigation districts In reservations in the southern part of the United States. Among the reservations which have been heavily timbered and In which the loggred-off land problem has already arisen or soon will arise, the Northwest reservations will be Included. In Ore gon and Washington alone Mr. Lipps says that there are about 10.000 acres of land that will have to be reclaimed In this manner. CONVENTION OFFICER HERE Dr. James S.

He entered the railroad service a little more than ten years ago as messenger boy and his steady rise from that po sition to one giving him complete charge of a $2,000,000 property Is de clared to be one of the most remarkable In local transportation annals. The Sumpter Valley Railroad serves a pine timber district and taps the rich Central Oregon country at the head of the famous John Day Valley.

When Mr. Eccles was In Portland a few weeks ago he offered the post of general manager of the road to Mr. Anderson. The position carries with It full authority over every department. Including operation, traffic and account ing. In recent years the Sumpter Valley road has been subject to severe criti cism from the State Railroad Commis sion. A complete revision of rates was authorized and improved train service was demanded. Officials have been struggling since then to comply with these orders. Mr. Anderson Is a native of Portland and a graduate of the public schools of this city. Mr. Anderson also is a director in the Portland Transportation Club, and the founder and chairman of the executive committee of the "Harriman Club," composed of employes of what formerly was the Harriman system.

LAW WILL BE OBSERVED Check for 450 Is Presented to Court With Agreement to Pis continue Practices Slentioned in indictment. According to stipulation, filed in the United States District Court yes terday by the Produce Merchants As sociation of Portland. It does not agree to go out of business altogether or dis band Its organisation, but only to re frain from engaging In those practices that rendered its members liable under the Sherman anti-trust law. After the 15 members of the assocU atlon had been sentenced on Friday last for amounts aggregating 18450 they were, given until yesterday to pay these fines. At the appointed time a clerk of one of the firms appeared at the office of Assistant United States District Attorney Johnson with a check drawn on the First National Bank, in his favor, for the full amount and was signed "Mansfield. Levy & Dilley," with "Mark Levy" being written below. It was explained that the signature to the check represented a committee of the association that had been appointed for the purpose. , . The stipulation, which was signed by all the members of the assooiation. or their personal representatives, and which was understood to be a dlsso lution of it, shows a modification of the original purpose, as it will be con tinued. It states in part: ...... "We do now severally and Jointly promise, covenant and agree that the Produce Merchants' Association shall in no wise hereafter or at all be operated, conducted or managed by either or any of us in any way or manner against the prohibitions In respect of the matters j ,i.., oot inrih tn aald Indictment and we will and have immediately dis continued each and every practice charged and intimated against us In the operation and conduct of tho asso ciation, and we agree to adopt that manner of conducting our business and modify the manner in which it has heretofore been conaucted in conso nance with the terms and spirit ot the statute." - QUICK ACTION MAY BE BAR Detectives Fear Early Arrest Will Aid Suspected Culprits. Early intervention of the police in the alleged bunco game of Charles Barrett and Frank Caviness, arrested by Detectives Litherland and Hill and Patrolman Cameron, Sunday, while It may have saved tho intended victim his money, seems likely to defeat con viction of the men, against whom par tial testimony was taken In Municipal Court yesterday. John W. Wright whom the detec tives held as the victim, asserted that no efforts had been made to inveigle him into a bet, and the of fleers were forced to fall back upon the previous records of the two men. They were unable to connect either of the men directly wrth a roll of Confederate money and other paraphernalia which was found concealed at detective head quarters after their arrest. Barrett, who is under parole from the penitentiary for his part In a bank swindle three years ago, is being looked after by Deputy Sheriff Curtis, parole officer, who, in case he is convicted, will return him to the penitentiary.

STREETCAR RIGHT DEFINED Truck Drivers Must Make Way for Vehicle Carrying Passengers. Interests of streetcars laden with persons going to work and returning borne are paramount over oil other trafflo, decided Judge Taswell In Mu nicipal Court yesterday, in acting up on the cases of two truck drivers who had held the car tracks in advanco of s trc tcAJB. In the case of W. E. Moon It was oharged that he bad remained In front of a two-car train coming Into the city from Alberta, all the way from Russell street to Burnsldo street, in spit of repeated calls for the right of way. Moon pleaded that the ear was not close behind him, but the crew explained that their rules forbid, their proceeding at more than half speed within 100 feet of another ve hicle. Becanse Moon is struggling to pay for his equipment, the court, after im posing a fine, suspended sentence. The same action was taken with regard to J. w. McGrath, who held up a Fifth street car while unloading.
