Arrangement for Storing of I.arjro Quantity of Fruit Will Relieve Growers and Packers. At last there are signs that Oregon prunes commandeered for ufo of the United States and allied armies are to move. Messages received yesterday by K. YV. Ariss, assistant commissioner of the Bureau of Co-ordination of Pur chases, and Kood Administration offi cials brought promise of early relief for growers and packers. Orders to ship 5.0UO.O00 to 7,000,000 pounds of dried prunes to be taken by the United States Army are expected soon, said Mr. Ariss. The first allotment of Orepon and Washington prunes to fro to the Army will take 10.000.000 pounds of the 40s and 50s. These need not be strapped. This is a concession that will save time and expense for the packers. Further encouragement for tne hold ers of prunes came when Mr. Ariss was authorized to arrange to store some or all of the 19.000.000 pounds of prunes allotted to allied buyers in Portland until the purchasers are ready for them. This jrreatly relieves the pack ers under contract to provide these prunes. Mr. Ariss said that inspection of the prunes for the United States Army probably would beg-in today. V. B. Ayer. State Food Administra tor, who is in San Francisco, was large ly instrumental in starting the move ment of the commandeered prunes.

SPANISH INFLUENZA. Guard against it by using Formazin in the nose and throat. For sale, by Portland Hotel Pharmacy and other druggist-. Adv. Petty Larcenlst Convicted. Confessions alleged to have been ob tained yesterday from Earl Johnson, Gordon KIrkpatrick and James Dean by Inspectors Leonard and Hellyer indi cate that in the course of burglaries imputed to them the lads have met with adventures rivaling those of burlesque burglars on the stage. The boys, respectively 19, 17 and 20 years old, are charged with thefts from the Tudor Arms, Wickersham and Car mellta apartments, besides apartments in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and North Takima, Wash. In the Carmelita Apartments the apartment of A. H. Weathey was robbed of jewelry and money valued at $200. According to the alleged confession, KIrkpatrick and Dean arranged to loot the promises while Johnson stayed outside to give the alarm if the Weatheys came home. Johnson, it is said, had scarcely taken his post when a woman resident of the house asked him what be was doing there. Clever Coup Successful. "I have a cousin here," the boy re plied, giving the first name that came into his head. The woman said no one of that name lived there and retired to her apartment. She came out again soon and again demanded his business. "I'm sure my cousin lives here," Johnson is said to have replied. "I will wait for her on the steps." Scarcely had he stepped to the head of the stairway, police 6ay, when Air. and Mrs. Weathey, carrying a baby, stepped out of the elevator and went to the door of their apartment. John son, already regarded with suspicion, could make no move to warn his al leged confederates. Mr. Weathey opened the apartment door, only to be confronted with a revolver. Police say Dean held him up, while Kirkpatrick, with all the loot in his pockets, is said to have crawled under a bed. Mrs. Weathey fled screaming. Johnson is said to have rushed to her rescue. Third Robber Escapee. ' w nat is the matter, madam?" police say he asked politely. "Burglars, burglars:" screamed Mrs Weathey. The robber with the re volver by this time appeared on the scene, in close pursuit of Mrs. Weathey. Johnson is said to have blocked the passage, professing a desire to help Mrs. Veathey, while Dean made his es cape downstairs. Johnson is said to have then offered to give chase to the robber, and so made his own escape. This left the third robber still under the bed in the apartment. Kirkpat rick's alleged confession is that he ran into the hall at v this juncture and screamed for help. "That man held me up; he pointed gun at me!" he shouted. "Who are you?" demanded one of the residents. I'm a messenger boy," Kirkpatrick is alleged to have replied. Would you know the robber?" de manded the resident. Youths Taken te Baker. Of course I would, but I don't want to get shot," the thief replied, almost weeping, and accompanied the resident from the building. Outside he disap peared. The boys are alleged to have con fessed to stealing a protectograph in Seattle, and using it in passing forged checks. Dean and Johnson were arrested on a. train in Baker, Or. Kirkpatrick was on the train, but was overlooked by the officers. Ho returned to Portland end was arrested. Kirkpatrick is alleged to have said he threw suitcases containing the loot from the car windows. Checks for the baggage were found in the lining of his shoe, however, and police inspec tors recovered it at the Union Station. Police say Dean escaped from Munroe Reformatory three weeks ago.

Cherished Relic of Young Bride of Two Weeks Stolen While Funeral Being Held. It was only a red fox fur that he was detailed to find, but when Police Inspector Hyde reponted at police head quarters Thursday night that the stolen property had been recovered he did so with an audible sigh of relief. A week ago the fur was worn by Mrs. H. V. Bills, a bnide of two weeks. It was a wedding present from her husband, a shipyard worker. Before their marriage they had admired the fur many times. And the young bnide was overjoyed when, on her wedding day, her husband presented her witn it. It represented $100 if the money he had earned as a builder of ships, but to the happy cople it represented far more than Its intrinsic value. A few days after the wedding the young bride was taken sick with pneumonia. The honeymoon met a tragic end on Monday of this week, when she passed away. It was while the young widower was attending the funeral Wednesday afternoon that somebody entered his apartment at 372 Grand avenue and stole the fur. the one heritage left him by his bride of two weeks. Frantic with grief, Mr. Bills appealed to the police bureau. Police Inspector Hyde was following out a clue when the fur was returned to the grief-stricken widower In tne same mysterious manner it disap peared. Tears of joy streamed down his face as he reported it had been found. And Police Inspector Hyde was happy, too Coos Bay's Loan Quota Reached. MARSHPIELD. Or.. Oct 18.
