ertons Work on the Case.
Detective 6ergeant Baty and De
tectives Price and Maloney. of the
Portland Police Department, assisted
fcy the local Pinkcrton Detective
Agency, have cleared up the mystery
nurroundiner the recent daring theft of
$3000 worth of Oriental jewelry from
the rooms of the Frohman Trading
Company in the Hotel Portland, hy
erregting Julius Cohen and E. B. Hen
derson, alias Quinn. The latter is said
to hve committed the burglary, and
Cohen is alleged to have received the
stolen goods for the purpose of dis
posing of vthem. Boih prisoners are
held without bail at police headquar
ters, charged with larceny.
As yet only $400 worth of the stolen
roods have been recovered, and tha
detectives had difficulty in accomplish
ing that much. Cohen, - who is a
"peanut butcher" on the O. K. A N. line
between here and Pendleton, got wind
of the fact that he was .suspected, and
transferred a sack containing part of
the stolen goods to one of the train
porters. The latter carried it to Sixth
and Gllsan streets after leaving the
train at the Portland depot. The de
tectives found the sack after Cohen
' had confessed his part in -the affair
yesterday, morning. Whether the
porter will be arrested "for his part In
the affair is not yet decided.
One more Sirreat may be made before
" the police finish their work, but the
na,me of the person under suspicion is
kept secret. One thing is significant
the detectives have learned that Cohen
bad his plunder stored in the Cascade
Hotel, at Sixth and Couch streets, -and
he is said to have received news of the
fact that he was under suspicion and
likely to be arrested from some person
connected with that hostlery. It is
known that a telegram was sent .to
Cohen at Pendleton warning him to
beware; that the police were after him
and might arrest him upon his arrival
hero-
Cohen did not heed the warning to
the extent of remaining away from
Portland, however, and it Is said thai
he would not have tried to get rid of
the plunder he then had with him had
not a Pinkerton detective on the train
asked him if he "had any stickpins."
This, it Is said, revealed to Cohen that
he was under suspicion, and he then
transferred the stolen goods to the
porter.
Cohen was obstinate for a time and
refused to tell anything about the bur
glary, but at laat decided to try and
save himself by telling the whole story.
Therefore, he confessed to Detective
Price and the Pinkerton operatives, lm
v pllcatlng Henderson.
v Miss Stella Frohman, of the Frohman
Trading .'Company, called at the office
of the Municipal Court yesterday after
X ft
We have bought out the entire stock of goods, fixtures and good will of the
store formerly owned by Mr. John Dellar at the corner of FIRST and YAM
HILL STS. This is an entirely NEW STOCK bought for the opening of Mr.
Dellar's new store, which has been completely remodeled. In line with
our policy to carry in stock only goods bearing our own label, we will
CLOSE
Included in the purchase is' an entirely NEW STOCK of
LADIES' .SUITS- AND DRESSES
Which will be closed out regardless of cost, as we do not intend to carry
ladies' goods in stock. Sale opens at 8 A. M.
noon and signed complaints, charging
larceny, against both prisoners.
Henderson is well known to. the po
lice as Quinn, Nine years ago he was
Bhot in the hip by Joe Day, then a
city detective, who was pursuing him
for the theft of a fur coat. Day found
it necessary to shoot in order to stop
his man, and did the job neatly.
The robbery of the Frohman Trading
Company's establishment was boldly
planned and well executed. The bur
glar cut the steel grating that shield
ed the window of the hotel at tho
northeast corner of Seventh and yam
hill streets, then used a "Jimmy" to
pvy open the window. He then helped
himself to the stock.
. The local police and the Portland
Pinkerton agency wene notified, and
took up the case at once. Detective
Price worked hard, in conjunction with-
the" Pinkerton aperatives, and at last
a clew was obtained which led to the
arrest of Cohen. With the latter under
arrest it was easy to secure the infor
mation against Henderson or Quinn.
After making his confession yester
day morning. Cohen agreed to go out
with an.offieer and seek for Hender
son. He was with Detective Sergeant
Baty and Detective Maloney, when at
Sixth and Washington streets he point
ed out Henderson, who was taken into
custody. Henderson refused last night
to make any statement, and would not
tell where the remainder of the stolen
goods are stored, if he knows. He
will be cross-examined again today,
when it is hoped by the detectives that
he will tell all about the robbery.
Saturday Is Bellhops'
Busy Day
Personal "Speak-easles" i Stock Up
Aaainat Approaching Dronght At
tending Portland's Drf Sunday.
LAST night was a busy tima for Billy
the Bellboy. Every " guest at the
hotel seemed to have but one thought,
and that was to stock his buffet against
the impending drouth of Sunday. First
it was a call to room steenty-steen with
a basket of beer. Then It was a hotfoot
to room umpty-umph with four quarts of
whisky and any number of siphons. Ever
and anon room 222 or 333 sent in a rush
order for extra dry or brut.
"Honest; It's fierce here on Saturday
nights." confided Billy to a friend. "Nut
tin' doin' but rush boose to these fellows
what can't laat over Sunday unless they
per vide for their splendid thirsts. First
I rush up to the elxth floor with beer, all
I can carry; then I am chased to the
second floor with champagne, real fizz
water. Then whisky calls come In from
all. over the house. I work like a dray
horse on Saturday nights. Honest. I'm as
busy as a puppy chasin' an Autumn leaf
pervldln' for the thirsty guys over Sun
day. Aw. what'a the use? I've a notion
to quit the job."
In the cafe below stairs there was a
big business. Large things were moving.
The man behind the mahogany was
shoving original packages across the bar
in platoons. Many of the guests did not
entrust the delicate mission of booze
supply to hotel servants, but came down
in person to direct t .e sending of bottled
sunshine to their apartments.
"Give me three quarts of bourbon and
two siphons," said a thirsty guest, whose
tongue was hanging out in anticipation
of the closed Sunday."
"Two quarts of Scotch with mineral
water," directed another. And so the
merry dialogue between guests and bar
keeps kept up, while all the time bell
boys were bringing back empty baskets
and refilling them with bottles. Then the
freight elevator shot upward, and one
knew that another's life would bo spared
over Sunday. . . -

ROOSEVELT WILL BE FORCED
TO ACCEPT, SAYS GIL-FRY.
Chief Clerk of United States Senate
Revisits Oregon, His Native
State Discusses Politics.
That Roosevelt " will be forced by the
Republican party to accept the nomina
tion fjr the presidency another term, is
the opinion of Henry H. Gllfry, Chief
Clerk of the United States Senate, who
arrived In Portland yesterday and will
spend a month or more In Oregon, his
old home. Mr. Gllfry believes that the
President is sincere in his statement that
he will not accept renomination, but
thinks that public opinion and a united
convention will practically force the honor
upon him.
"I have always been of the opinion that
President Roosevelt would be almost
compelled to accept the nomination
again," said Mr. Gilfry, "and I have not
changed my view on this question. He
will certainly not make any effort for' the
nomination, and he will not give permis
sion for his name to be considered at all.
But If I mistake not there will be a great
popular movement to force him to retain
the office. If the convention unanlmously
demands that Roosevelt lead the party,
he will probably see that it Is his duty
to accept the call."
In his duties as Chief Clerk of the Sen
ate, Mr. Gilfry Is closely associated with
Vice-President Fairbanks, and Is a per
sonal friend of the Indiana candidate. He
considers as erroneous the common Im
pression that Fairbanks is not of a genial
disposition, and furthermore believes that
he would make a good President.
"Mr. Fairbanks is anything but a cold
man," said Mr. Gilfry,- "and the refer
ences to him as a human Icicle are not at
all to the point. During all the time that
I have been connected with the Senate it
has never had a more genial ' presiding
officer, .and I know of' few men with a
more cordial personality.
"In my opinion Mr. -Fairbanks would
TAKE THEM OUT
Or Feed Them Feod They Can Study On.
When a student begins to break down
from lack of the right kind of food,
there are only two things to do; -either
take him out of school or feed him prop
erly on food that will rebuild the brain
and nerve cells. That food Is Grape
Nuts, A boy writes from Jamestown, N. Y.,
saying: "A short time ago I got into a
bad condition from overstudy, but
mother having heard about Grape-Nuts
food began to feed me on it. It satisfied
my hunger better than any other food,
and the results were marvelous. I got
fleshy like a good fellow. My usual
morning headaches disappeared, and I
found I oould study for a long period
without feeling the effeota of it.
"My face waa pale and thin, but is now
round and has considerable color. After
I had been using Grape-Nuts for about
two months I felt like a new boy alto
gether. I have gained greatly in strength
as well as flesh, and It is a pleasure to
study now that I am not bothered with
my head. I passed all of my examina
tions with a reasonably good percentage",
extra good in some of them, and it is
Grape-Nuts that .has saved me from a
year's delay In entering college.
'"Father and- mother have both been
Improved by the use of Grape-Nuts.
Mother was troubled with sleepless
nights, and got very thin, and looked
careworn. She has gained her normal
strength and looks, and sleeps well
nights.". "There's a Reason." Read

SEE IT IN OUR
make a good President, if he were elected
to that position. He would be a conserv
ative leader, and would Inspire general
confidence. It can all be summed up by
saying that he would be a 'safe' man."
Mr. Gilfry belongs to one of the oldest
of Oregon's pioneer families, his grand
parents having come here in 1846 and his
parents having followed them a few years
later. He was formerly a resident of
Eugene, and renusented Lane County in
the Oregon Legislature. In 1876 Mr. Gil
fry went to Washington to take a position
in the office of Senate Clerk, and has
been promoted until he now heads that
department.
"Every time' I come back to Oregon I
can see evidences, of progress that is as
tonishing." said Mr. Gilfry. "There are
more people on the streets here now than
were to be seen during times of largest
attendance at the Lewis & Clark Exposi
tion. The building movement Is also re
markable." Mr. Gilfry yesterday inspected two large
tracts he owns on the Peninsula. He was
surprised at the signs of activity In that
part of the city, and found is holdings
greatly Increased in value since his last
visit. During his sojourn In the state he
will visit Eugene, where he has relatives
and . many friends, and Dixie, where he
has an aunt, Mrs. Katherine Baskett.
BLACKMAILER IS TRAPPED
Charges Against Hitchcock Iade to
Extort Money.
NEW YORK. Oct. 20. Hugo Voecks and
Frank O. Tornberg were arrested at the
Astor Theater on complaint of Raymond
Hitchcock, the actor, charged with black
mailing. The arrest followed the publi
cation of a number of stories In which
an unnamed ""prominent comedian," who
is described as "the star of a successful
Bijoadway production," was accused of
gross misconduct.
It Is said that Voecks had recently
written a number of threatening letters
to Hitchcock demanding money, and that
he finally called at the theater last night
and demanded $1000 for the suppression
of certain stories which were discredita
ble to Hitchcock and which Voecks
threatened to have printed unless he re
ceived the money. He was asked to call
again this afternoon and was given a
ring as security for the money he de
manded. This afternoon he called again and was
offered a J1000 bill, but he declined it.
saying he must-now have $25no in small
bills. Detectives were hidden in the
room at the time.
Tonight the man called again and ac
cepted J1000 In bills and a promise to pay
$1500 m6re when the ring was returned.
The detectives who had been ia, hiding
then appeared and placed Voecks under
arrest. He said that Tornberg. who says
he is a bank clerk, was outside with the
ring. Tornberg was arrested and the ring
was found in his possesion. Both men
were locked up at police headquarters.
"Arrested on Chicago Charge.
Just as he was in the act of receipting
for a money order at the Postal Tele
graph office last night, "Frank J. McKay
was taken into custody by Detective Ser
geant Baty on a telegraphic warrant
from Captain of Detectives P. D. O'Brien,
of Chicago. The. prisoner is wanted In
that city on a charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses from Edward Batchel
der and Fred Hunt, and for Jumping his
bonds. He admitted that he had had
some fouble in Chicago, but declared
that he had arranged matters with those
he owed. He was lodged in the City Jail
over night. - -. .

Brings Suit to Quiet Title.
SOUTH BEND, Wash., Oct. 2. (Spe
cial.V The first case brought under the
Food Poisons
90 Per Cent of All Diseases the Result
'of Undigested Putrefying Foods.
Men of affairs, women of society" and
children with active brains are too
often sedentary in their habits, giving
little time to exercise. To this evil is
added that of high and Irregular liv
ing as a result, the stomach cannot
stand the demands made upon it. The
abused and overtaxed stomach does
not properly do the work of digestion,
food taken in ferments and the poison
permeates the whole system. The body
lobes in weight and becomes a prey
for the attack of whatever disease it
may encounter.
Did it ever occur to you how busy
that stomach of yours is? It only holds
three pints, but in one year you force
it to take in 2400 pounds of material,
digest it and prepare it for assimilation
into the .blood. No wonder it rebels
when overworked. We crowd it with
steaks and pastry, irritate its juices
with spices and acids, and expect the
stomach to do its work. It can't do it.
All over the inner layer of the stom
ach are glands which secrete the juices
necessary to digestion. The entrance
of food Into the stomach is the signal
for these glands to do their work. The
more the food, and the more. Indigesti
ble, the greater the demand upon them
and upon the muscles of the wall ad
joining. Think pf the tons of hlh-seasoned
game, sweetmeats and appetizers
crammed into this' little fourounce
mill, and then wonder. If you will, why
you are dizzy or nauseated or consti
pated. Don't blame your stomach or
curse your fate that you should be born
so unfortunate. -Blame yourself and
apply the remedy. .
- First, get a small packas-e of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, taking one after
each meal and at bed time. They are
not a medicine, but a digestive. Your
stomach Is worn out and needs help,
not medicine. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will do the work that the stomach
fails to do. There's enough power in
one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia -Tablets
to digest 3000 grains of ordinary food,
so you needn't fear that anything you
eat will remain in your stomach undi
gested. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will rout
the poison because they remove the
cause food fermentation. They are
nature own cure for dyspepsia. The
