PROSECUTOR IS SKEPTICAL
C'aliicr of Pacific Coast Company

Spent Xonc of Stolen Moeny.
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 20. Oliver
H. Cline. for many years cashier of
-the Pacific Coat Company, has con
fessed embezzlement of 1:10.000 from
his employer, according' to Prosecut
ing Attorney- L,undin. Clin will be
tried on a jrrand larceny charjre on
the allegation that he took nearly $10.
000 from the company on the day he
fled from Seattle. March 7. He was
arrested in New Orleans.
Mr. Lundlin said Cline told him he
turned over virtually ail of the money
he took from the Pacific Coast Com
pany to the Maplewood farm S Pure
Milk Dairy, which is owned by J. D.
Karrell, of Portland, president of th
Orefjon-Wash i ngton Railroad & Xavi
oration Company. Cline wan treasure
of the company, operating' the farm
which was established by Mr. Karrell
as a modM dairy establishment. Cline
owned five thares of stock in the dairy
enterprise.
"It seem. almost inconceivable that
a man holding such a small amount
Mock in a company would embezzle
such a large sum of money in order to
make it a, success," Faid Mr. Lundin.
"Cline says that $100,000 of the amoun
he embezzled went into the milk co
pany. The $20,000 was put into
email farm which Cline owns. It ap
pears that he did not take the money
for his own personal use. He did no
gamble or drink, as far as I can de
term inc."
Prosecutor Lundin said Cline has re
turned to the Pacific Coast Company
about $5000 which he had in his pos
session when he was taken into cus
tody in New Orleans.
Cline was held in the County Jail in
default of $j000 bond.

J. I. FAKIiKLI, DENIES KEI'OItT
t ime Said to Ifatc I-)-t Money In
Milk Distributing Stations.
Of the alleged statement by Oliver
H. Cline, that he had stolen for the
benefit of the Maplewood Farm & Pure
Milk Dairy. J. L. Farrrll, of Portland,
said last night:
"I am convinced that Mr. Cline di
not make the statement that he put
190.000 or stolen money into the
Maplewood Farm. In fact he denied
that he did. I talked with Cline
day or so ago and he did not make
such a statement. He did tell the
authorities that he had disposed of the
embezzled money in certain ways, such
as in a milk distributing shop and
various thinps. He has- checked over
the sums taken which are consider
ably over $100. 0J0 and is trying to ac
count for it all. I think the authori
ties have misunderstood what he did
say. principally because one of the milk
distributing shops in which Cline be
came interested handled the milk from
my farm. I particularly asked Cline
for details, and of the statement that
he put anything into Maplewood he
said something like this: "While it
will be hard to ask them to take my
word. I want to say to you on my
honor that I did not dispose of 1 cent
of it that way.'
"Cline kept my private farm books.
but to me and to others he denied that
he had placed any money into the
farm."
Cline was cashier of the Pacific
Coast Company, of which Mr. Farrell
was a share holder and prior to J 903
president for several years. Cline fled
from Seattle March 7, this year, and
was subsequently arrested in New
Orleans.
Mr. Farrell said last night that he
understood Cline would be sentenced
Friday.

the name of Mr. Borah during the day's
session of the convention caused ring-
ng cheers.
Near-Friction Is Averted.
While friction developed among the
various delegations over preference for
delegates and alternates resulting in
frequent caucuses to iron them out.
the only chord struck that was not In
harmony with the convention and
which broke on the -convention floor
was the attempt made by Attorney-
General .1. H. Peterson to have incor
porated in the resolutions instructions
to the delegates to the National con
vention, "to vote for and support only
Republicans."
By viva voce vote the amendment was
laid on the table after C. A. Sunderlin,
himself a candidate to succeed Attor
ney-General Peterson, branded ic as
an insult to the delegates elected by
the convention."
'Itiruxt at T. II. Averted.
The purpose of the resolution was
to offer a direct thrust at Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in the event he
should happen to be the compromise
candidate of the Republican National
Convention.

The reunion of the Republican party
is viewed in the resolutions with pleas
ure, the Idaho delegation in Congress
is indorsed and expressions of grati
fication are extended on behalf of
Idaho Republicans to Senator Brady for
his recovery. Special greetings are
sent to United States Senator Borah,
whose firmness is compared to that of
Washington. Hamilton and Lincoln.

named temporary chairman of the con
vention, and U. E. Burrell, secretary.
Frederick C. Randall, of Lewiston,
originally elected temporary chairman,
fainted while speaking to the conven
tion and could not continue as pre
siding officer.
Each County Represented.
Each county was given representa
tion on the permanent organization,

The convention districted the state into
four districts, giving the north three
delegates and two alternates; the
southwest two delegates and two alter
nates; the Bouth, one delegate and one
alternat, and the southeast two dele
gates and three alternates.
Under this apportionment Senator
Borah was''credited to Ada County and
Senator Brady to Bannock County,
thereby eliminating D. W. Church, who
placed a fight on the latter Senator.
In Southern Idaho a fight between
Fred Gooding and I. W. Rockwell re
sulted in a compromise by both being1
declared for. The north stood firm for
three delegates and two alternates.
