14 THE 3IORNIXG OREGON! AN. WEDNESDAY. SEPTE3IBER 15, 19T5. SAHFORD GURR1ER tNDiOTEDASFIREBUG Accused Contractor Appears Before Grand Jury, but Testimony Is Secret. CONFESSION IS ALLEGED Supposed Arson. King Is Being1 In vestigated Prisoner Is Held in. default of $20,000 Bail; Case VXVill Be Tried Soon. Sanford TV. Currier, the building con tractor accused as the head of a coast wide arson ring, was indicted by the grand jury yesterday for setting: fire to his house at 868 East Sixty -fifth street Xorth, August 28, 1912. The grand jury, in charge of Charles C. HIndman, Deputy District Attorney, has been investigating- the arson charges for several days, and re ported one indictment to Circuit Judge Gantenbein yesterday. Several other men are accused in connection with the alleged arson ring, but only one. Grant Hawley. is under arrest. Currier is said to have confessed to District Attorney Evans and Deputy Robison that he made a fairly profit able business of building houses and burning them for the past 10 years. His operations, it is asserted, have ex tended over California, Oregon and "Washington. Out of half a dozen spe cific cases the grand jury selected one on which to indict Currier. In this case he is said to have obtained $3j00 from the Oregon Fire Relief associa tion. Other fires said to have been set by Currier or under his direction have been investigated by District Attorney Evans and Fire Marshal Stevens. A large number of these occurred in the Mount Scott or Lents district. Currier is held in the county jail in lieu of $20,000 bonds. He was arrested three weeks ago after confessions had been obtained from some of his al leged accomplices. Currier testified before the grand Jury at his own request, the indict ment shows. His statements there are secret. The method of operations used by the arson ring was disclosed from statements made by William Stewart and two other men in California who have not been returned to this state. Currier s alleged cdnfession, which is being kept secret by District Attorney Evans, is said to confirm the state ments of the others. Houses were built, or sometimes only the shells of houses. Before they were entirely completed, in some cases, they were insured. A little old fur niture, or sometimes merely the metal parts of furniture, such as casters, bed springs, bureau handles and plumbing fixtures, were put in the house. Then a solution of linseed oil. turpentine and varnish was scattered profusely about the place, and It was "touched off." Before the fire depart ment could get into action the house would be a mass of flames. It was noted by the officers, too, that the houses usually were built In a loca tion where fire protection was some what difficult. Currier will be tried before Circuit t Judge Gantenbein in the near future. He has not indicated whether or not he intends to plead guilty to the charges. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule.

LUMBER MAY BE CARRIED Water Shipments From Columbia Jtiver Through Panama Canal lieported Growing Tolls Climb Monthly; Total $5,216,149. Three new steamers now being: con structed for the American-Hawaiian Line at Sparrows Pqlnt, Md, are ex pected to be ready for service between the Atlantic Coast and Portland and other Pacific Coast ports within a few months, making the trip by way of the Panama Canal. The new steamers are to be operated ''as an addition to the fleet of vessels already run by that company between the Atlantic and Pa cific seaboards, according to local of ficials of the" line. The vessels, which are all . to be freighters of 4000 .tons net register, are to be known as the Floridan. Arti san and Arborean. According to latest information received here the Kloridan is to be launched and ready for her maiden trip to this coast December 15. The Artisan will be completed March 1 and the Arborean May 1 of next year. The Floridan will be a vessel 414 feet long. 63 feet beam and 31 fee ueep. It is said that the present Intention of the company is to operate the ves sels as lumber carriers between the Pacific Coast and Atlantic Coast ports. On their westward trips they probably will Dring miscellaneous cargoes. Because of having been held up by slides in the Panama Canal the steam er Iakotan, of the American-Hawaiian Lane, now en route here from New York, probably will not reach Portland until the last of .this month. She was scheduled to make Portland by Sep tember 19. The steamer Honolulan. of the same line, is due to get into Port land harbor October 1. so that the two vessels probably will be here about the same time. They have just got away from the canal en route north. Other vessels of that line to touch at Portland in the near future are the Iowan, due October 14, and the Pan amar, due November 6. There has been a steady increase In water shipments from Portland east by way of the Panama Canal since the opening of that waterway. The regu lar lines now operating between this port and the Atlantic Seaboard by way of the Panama Canal are the Ameri can-Hawaiian Steamship Company, the W. R. Grace Company and the Orcson & California Shipping Company. A steady increase in Panama Canal trade from all ports is shown by the record of business for the first year of regular commercial operations of the waterway as published in the Canal Record. The first year closed August 14. 1915. During that period the monthly collections show a steady climb from $265,600.80 for the month of September, 1914, to $573,365.67 for the month of July of this year. During the year a total of 1317 ves sels passed through the canal, com At Less Cost There's more nutritive value that the system will absorb in Grape-Nuts than in either meat or bread. A remarkable fact. Weight for weight, a package" of Grape-Nuts supplies one-third more nourishment than a roast of beef and at about half the cost. A roast of beef is about twenty per cent waste and there is a shrinkage in cooking. Grape-Nuts comes ready cooked and not a crumb need be wasted. Think it over! Then there's bread white bread lacks certain elements essential to building brain and body. Why? Because in milling white flour, four-fifths of the precious mineral content (all important for health and life) is thrown out with the brancoat of wheat, to make the flour look white and pretty. rape' not only supplies all the brain- and bone-buildjng, nerve- and muscle-making phosphates of the wheat, but all the rich nutriment of malted barley. Besides, Grape-Nuts is easily digested gener ally in about an hour white bread and beef re quire about 2y2 hours. Grape-Nuts comes in germ-proof, mojsture proof packages ready to serve with cream or milk a delicious ration, economical and highly nour ishing.
