Living Near Gres ham, Often Hungry, May Inherit Wealth. m'CLE' LEAVES $3,000,000 J other's Fortune Swept Away I l.iiglynd In 1885 anil Scanty Llv in: Made After Immigration. W hereabouts Arc Unknown. - After bein? a wanderer and scanty ?c-rrncp for many years, followin the collapse of his father's fortune i Knsland 36 years ago, Thomas Whit ham Bell, a farm hand who lives In lonely cabin on Blue Lake, in the Co lumbla Plough district near Fairvlew, Or., is believed to be heir to a fortun r 3t.v4O.o09. his share In an estate north 33.Q00.00o left by an uncle. John Kay Bell, who is supposed to have died recently in .Manchester. Gnrlanil. - A messenger, who said he was from a rortiand attorney, scoured the vicln Ity around Gresham last Saturday rrarchlng for Mr. Bell, in an effort to notify him of his inheritance. Appar ently he was unsuccessful in his quest, as yesterday when The Oregonian reached Mr. Deli in his little cabin near Urassdale. he had not been for mally advised of his fortune, althoueh he had been told attorneys were searcn inr for him. Who the attorney is who is intrusted with handling the arrangements. Mr. It'll is not advised, but that he will be found and negotiations started Mr. II has no doubt. Two cousins. Mr. Bell believes, are the only other heirs to Hie big estate. His uncle was a com mission merchant of Manchester. He was married but had no children. In smueh as be has had no mail from Knglund in years he knows little about the family's circumstances. In the early '80s Mr. Bell's father luffered reverses in a financial storm which hit his community in England, and. with his son Thomas, he sought new fortunes in America. His ven ture was unsuccessful... however, and he worked hard and long- in Portland and other Pacific Coast cities, ekein out only an ordinary existence. For a lime, about 20 years ago. he was engineer at the Portland hotel, and Thomas Bell held a position as fire man. Some years later father and .von separated and for the last li years Thomas Bell has heard nothing from Ji is father, supposing; that he died in California, where he went after leav ing Portland. The tragic loss of the father had a depressing effect on the on. who had given up hope of hear ing from any of his relatives. Mr Bell, who has long known his :r.cle was a millionaire several times over, says the other two heirs prob ably are Harry and James Bell, of Yorkshire, England. who are his cousiqs. "My mother died when I was 3 years old and I will be 50 years old next fxcember." saW Mr. Bell yesterday. We were in good circumstances in Liverpool up to about 1SS3, when my father's fortune was swept away and shortly after he brought me to Amer ica, coming direct to Oregon. About 15 years ago I lost track of my father; he went to California and I suppose he is dead now. I worked around, never! having- much money, finally settling out here with James Fitzgerald, where I have been working on his farm for four or five years. Mr. Bell, who Is known as "Tom" about Fairview and Gresham. has had a struggling career, according to his friends. He became a wanderer after M father left and often was in' need of a meal. He was a good worker, however, and never had any trouble In setting work on the farms in eastern Multnomah County. He has often talked of his uncle and his wealth to them, but never had expressed any hope of becoming an heir. Mr. Bell said last night that he prob ably would return to England if the report of bis legacy was correct. The messenger who waa searching for Mr. Bell Saturday related the story of Mr. Well's Inheritance to G. L. Thorpe, of Gresham. with stereopticon illustrations upon "Gardens and Gardening," at Pacific University. t-he discussed first the subject of out-door gardening, includ ing home gardens, school community gardens, kitchen gardens, city rent gar dens, botanical gardens and water gar dens. Under the subject of indoor gar dening she discussed questions of con servatories, seed testing, window boxes, etc She aiso discussed in this connec tion nature study, with excursions for study, not only of plant life, but also of the birds and the seasons influences Some of her important thoughts were the followjng: ' "Gardens are social, educational, in dustrial and cultural factors. The gar den mav be an Important factor In character buildtng. Habits of iudus try. patience and economy, are de veloped. Nature study introduces the child to Nature in such a way that he S. W.

That the children in the country schools of Jackson County . are keeping pace In their studies with their city roi3in I Indicated by an Interesting experlmert recently made by County Superintendent Wells and reported to Superintendent of Public Instruction Churchill.

Although the city children, excepting In the fourth and fifth grades. were somewhat more rapid in their work, the country chil dren, with the tingle exception of the eighth grade, were more accurate and solved more problems correctly. The pereentage of accuracy for each of the grades, the first number each time showing the city children, was as follows: Fourth grade. 7.3. 1(0.3; fifth grade. 83. ST.S; sixth grade. 74.6. 81.3; seventh grade, 81.7, 84; eighth grade, 3S.S. S.7. SALEM. Or.. March 11. (Special.) Holding that the regents of the Uni- ersity of Oregon are administrative ents of the state having no powers which they can individually exercise, Attorney -General Brown today ren- ered an opinion at the request of K. Bean, president of the board of re- ents. that the Moser bill, passed at the recent session of the Legislature. which provides for the recall of ap pointivo officers, does not apply to the regents of the University. Mr. Brown, however, holds that the officers of the board., consisting of the president, sec retary and treasurer, come within tne statute. The opinion says: Section 4233, Lords Oregon Laws, provides that the regents of the Uni- ersity shall be appointed by the Uov- ernnr. bv and with the advice and con sent of the Senate, for the term of 12 years, and until their successors are nominated and confirmed, and all va cancies occurring In said board shall be filled in like manner for the re mainder of the term, except that a vacancy occurring during a recess of the Senate shall be filled by appoint ment bv the Governor until the ad- lournment of the next session of the Legislative Assembly. . . . "In the case of Havid ver3us Port land water committee. 14 Oregon 98, 113-14. and State versus George. 22 Oregon 142. it was held that the mem bers of the water committee and of the Bridge Commission were not of ficers, but merely agents, charged with the performance of specific duties. It seems to me that by a parity of rea soning with that announced In tne cases last mentioned and adopting the language of the court in the case of Farrell against Port of Columbia, 50 Oregon 169. the regents-of the State University are administrative agents of the state having no powers which fhey can individually exercise and can only act in their corporate or collec tive capacity. "The officers of the board of regents are its president, secretary and treas urer, whose duties are prescribed by the statute. and they, without ques tion, are the officers of the institu tion to whom the proviFions of the act under consideration would apply. locether with any other ofticers of th Institution appointed by the board of regents. One of Founders of rirm of Olds & King Is Kept Covered With Re volver While Outlaw I-oots Safe in Afternoon. S. W. King. 210 King street, formerly of the firm of Olds, & King, now Olds, Wortman & King, was hold up by two armed men and robbed of about lav vesterdav afternoon at about 2 o clock in his offices on tiie rourtn iioor oi the Washington building, fourth ana Washington streets. The police de partment was immediately notified and detectives were put on the trail of the robbers, but they made their escape. Neither of the robbers wore masks and both carried small dark revolvers. Mr. King recognized one ,of them as man who had come in to eee him Just as he was preparing to leave for luncheon, presumably to learn the lay of the land. The man at that time sani he wanted to borrow 3500 on some Jewelry which he had. including a lavallier and some diamond rings. He said he did not have the Jewelry with him. but would return with it at 2 o'clock. It is thought by detectives that the man was attempting to find out what money Mr. King had in the! office. Victim Reading an Men Enter. Mr. King said he was sitting in his office chair reading when the men en tered. . "They i-aine in slowly, one at a time, and each drew hia revolver on enter ing." said Mr. King. "I heard no noi3e in the hall previous to their entry and I suppose they had come up quietly to the door and waited in order to learn If the coast was clear. "I offered the men my purse, but they refused to accept it. and. evidently be lieving the safe was, locked, ordered me to unlock it. On my refusal to do so one of . the men entered the inside office where the safe was. and, trying it and finding it to be unlocked, took all the money which it contained, about 3150. While the one man was thus se curing the loot, the other kept me covered with his revolver, so that 1 had no chande to interfere. Robber Soon Lost in Crowds. "The men left as quietly as they had come and were immediately lost in the crowds on Washington street. Mr. King said that he seldom left much of value in his safe. Both of the robbers. Mrf King said, appeared to be about 30 or 35 years old. They were smooth-shaven and of me dium build. One was about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches tall and the other u feet 8. Mr. King is a father of Charles W. King, of the firm of Olds, Wortman & King. About 36 years ago he, in com pany with W. P. Olds, founded the firm of Olds & King. Later he sold out to Mr. Wortman and the name of the es tablishment was changed to Olds. Wort man & King. SEE THAT jPurve; ADDS to your field of vision. SUBTRACTS annoyance of old-style flat lenses.

TODAY. ... ' .- ,y ... VANCOUVER, Wash., March 11. (Special.) The musical director of "The Chocolate Soldier," Max Fich andler, now playing in Portland, and Miss Rosetta Nier, were married here today by W. S. T. Derr. Justice of the Peace- Mr. Fichandler gave his age as 42 and that of his bride as 27. He is a native of Odessa, Russia, but comes here from New York City. The bride also comes from Broadway, but she was born in Austria. . Walter Halbach acted as witness for the couple in obtaining the license, and also at the marriage ceremony.

Prisoner on Bank Robbery Charge Is Same Man Who Killed Benefactor. Released by Oregon Governor. SALEM. Or.. March 11. (Special.) Announcement was made by the peni tentiary authorities today that Bert Heaton, under arrest in Utah for rob bing a bank, is the same Bert Heaton who was pardoned by Governor West in 1911 after Nerving eight years of a life term for homicide. Heaton killed his benefactor, Ben Tracy, in Junction City in 1903, and was convicted of homicide in the second degree, al though the killing was declared to be one of the most cowardly ever com mitted in the state. Tracy conducted a roadhouse In the outskirts of Junction City, and Heaton, according to the evidence, was his guest for several weeks. He appeared at the place late one night, and finding Tracy off his guard, shot him and rifled the cash register. He was cap tured after a long search and was in dicted for homicide in the first degree. The Indictment, however, was faulty, which was declared at the time to be responsible for the man's getting off with the second degree verdict. After the evidence was in Heaton's lawyer called attention to the faulty indict ment, and because of it the only thing that could be done was to bring in the verdict providing a life term of im prisonment. Soon after his arrest In Utah the authorities there wrote to Superinten dent Lawson, of the Oregon Peniten tiary, asking if he was tho man who served a term here. Tom R.
