CATCHING .SUCKERS. Yesterday a fakir at the Douglas County bank corner, after paying a license to fish for suckers, succeeded in hooking a lot to the tune of fifty or sixty dollars by the sale of sawdust electric belts. The first belt he sold he returned the dollar with the belt and also two dollars and a half be sides. One man wanted a belt for himself and one each for his wife, two girls and a boy; and oth ers purchased from one to four. The fakir sold out the entire number he had with the exception of one He said afterwards that he only cleaned up fifty-six dollars. After he got through another fakir, who had not been licensed, got into the buggy and commenced to catch suckers also, but he was not as cood a fisherman as the first, and after he had cleaned up ten or twelve dollars he was ar rested for doinp; business without a license and was taken before the citv recorder, who fined him ten dollars Defending Crime. The Oregonian on Tuesday in a news dispatch from its representative in Washington said. "It is evident rotn the manner in which the Fostoffice De partment treats the report of the in specters who made an investigation in to the alleged recent irregularities in the Portland postotfice that the depart ment has no intention whatever of in terfering with Postmaster Bancroft, The inspectors' report was received this morning, but instead of being given immediate consideration was pigeonholed, and will be taken up in its regular order, after matters of routine have been cleared away. Hal the findings of the inspectors shown any serious misconduct on Post master Bancroft's part, the report would have received immediate con sideration. Bancroft has been instruct ed hereafter to avoid moving jwstal funds from the office, even though he intends to make -good the amounts. The department is convinced that his recent act was with no evil intent. It is believed the offense will never again be committed, and would not have: occurred before had Bancroft under stood that he had no authority for ab stracting a small amount in the manner in which he did." The Oregonian editorially on the same date said : "Mr. Bancroft has de nied that there were any serious irreg ularities in his office, and the Postal De partment seems to bear out his denial. The inspectors found a shortage of more than $900, which Sir. Bancroft made good at once. The sensational storie3 circulated about the matter, he said, were inspired by malice. Mr. Bancroft is recognized as having been an able postmaster." May God help a state when its principal newspaper and upholder of law and mortality defends or mini mizes crime or vioiaters of the law of the land. When Mr. Bancroft took the gov ment funds from the post office at Portland he was just as much a crimi nal as a man would be who would ob tain money from the government by false pretenses or by any kind of fraud. But one thing is apparent in Oregon, and that is, a poor man who commits crime receives a heavy sen tence to the penitentiary while a rich man may rob, cheat and defraud or may swindle or help swindle the government and when his rascality is found out, he is an unfortunate man because his political opponents found out the crime or offense. As we have said before, the Oregonian has turned itself into a special pleader and defender of dishonest men who are able to secure that papers in fluence. CHICAGO FIRE (Continued from first pags) Chicago, Dec. 30. Fire broke out in the Iroquois Theater this afternoon. The audience fled in a panic to the street. Many women are reported to have been crushed and severely in jured in the rush for the doors. The Iroquois was only recently opened, be ing a magnificientTstructure, modeled after the Opera Comique in Paris, The fire broke out during the second act of the play "Blue Beard." It started in the flies, presumably from a defect in the electric attachments, In an instant the draperies and flimsy stage settings had burst into flames. The actors and actresses ran wildly about the stage as the audience fought and jammed its way to the front doors. In a short time the in terior of the theater was apparently a mass of flames, and smoke was is suing in clouds from the front of the house. A dozen women and a number I of men with faces and hands fearful- I 1 1 J .... l1 , !.. iy uuineu weru auun uikuu miu neighboring drug store, where tho3e worst injured wore hastily attended to. Though the fire broke out on tho stage, there was apparently little protection for the audience. Women and children were piled out of the doors, but the flames gained rapidly, and it was a considerable time before i large number of the people could eave the building. Meanwhile spe cial calls and a general alarm had summoned a large number of tho fire engines. Chief Fire Marshal Musham took personal charge of the fire when he arrived. He found the theater balconies still occupied by many per sons, and he promptly directed the firemen in raising ladders to the up per exits in order to save the persons imprisoned there. Two little girls, their hands and faces blistered, were among the first taken down from the balconies. At this time it was estimated that between six and ten persons were dead within the theater. They were believed for the most part to be at taches of the theater. At the same time persons were be- inr carried from both the front and the rear of the theater. The fire ap parently was gaining upon the fire men, who were having the greatest difficulty in gaining entrance because of the crowds. Floor Strewn Willi People As the fire progressed four dead were taken out, two men, a boy and a little girl. A woman was also taken out with her face so badly blistered that she could not be recognized. A man, who jumped from the third story window, was taken to the emer gency hospital in an unconscious con dition. Fire Marshal Musham, who has just been up in the balcony, says it looks to him as if there were 200 or 300 people lying piled upon the floors of the two upper balconies. He could not say whether they were alive or dead. In one place there seemed to be over 100. He is going up and down in front ot the theater urging his men for God's sake to go upstairs and bring the people down. Numbers of the firemen rushed up in the smoke and they are now bringing people down, most of them unconscious and some crushed. Some of these peo ple were suffocated by the smoke, but most of them were thrown down dur ing the panic which ensued when some one cried "fire." 31 any Employes Are 3IIss1iirt, Manager Davis said that most of the actors were accounted for, but that a number of the minor employes e missing. He said that the cry of "fire" created a panic, and that this accounted for so many people loosing their lives. Three additional bodies were quickly removed from the building one of a year old child and two women. They were taken to a feed store near by. The child was found burned and trampled to death on the first floor. The women were found close to the child. While the dead bodies were being recovered, 15 per sons were stretched on tables in Thompson's restaurant not far dis tant, many of them believed to be dying. Audience Cat OfT From R;;rcnt, It was reported that 20 persons in the balcony were cut off from re treat and probably perished in the flames. Three dead women were carried across a ladder which was streched across the ally from the rear of the theater to the Tremont building. Most of the spectators who escap ed from the balcony were rescued in this manner. The Northwestern University Law School in the Tremont building, and other surrounding places, were turn ed into temporary morgues and hos pitals. Nine injured persons arrived at the Samaritian Hospital within 20 minutes after the fire broke out. At 4:40 P. M. it was estimated that at least 60 dead bodies had been recovered from the fire. The bodies were taken to near-by stores and every possible available place. The loss of life was greatest at the foot of the stairway from the upper balconies. At that point the bodies of the persons who sought to fiee from the flames were piled fully 12 feet deep. The bodies were" taken out rapidly as the men could -enter the smoke-filled corridors and grasp their awful load. With over 60 bodies recovered from the theater a conservative es timate of the firemen was that there were at least 200 more persons in side, either dead or unconscious. At 5 P. M. the police estimated 500 persons either lost their lives or were injured in the fire. Some of the persons being carried from the building at that hour were still alive. Books Lost. A number of books belonging to the public school library have been lost. The return of any of them will be great ly appreciated. Will the patrons of the school kindly look for such books in their private libraries and return any that may be found? A. M. Sanders, City Supt. of Schools. inn1 r-iiiiiiiiiri,wsawwSyM' J"'.!"1!7?

Berlin, Dec. 30 The Lokal An reserve says: "The zieger, without Japanese government has informed the representatives of the powers at l'okio that the situation at this mo ment is unbearable, and that Japan must strike if Russia does not accept the propositions Japan has submitted, as Japan cannot longer wait for a final decision." Washington, Dec. 30. The Jap- w . 11 1 ll . rLL- anese .Minister caiieu ac ine auue Department today reported that the ituation in the Far East is ono that gives great concern, and that Japan is making great preparations for the worst. It is hoped, however, that Russia will reconsider her first an swer to Japan's request. Washington, Dec. 30. At the Russian Embassy and at the Japanese Legation the Associated Press is in formed that the situation in the Far East has entered upon a critical stage. Both the Russian Ambassador, Count Cassini, and Mr. Kogaro Takahira, the Japanese Minister, express the hope that war is not yet inevitable Lount Lassmi goes further, and is of the opinion that the situation may yet be saved without recourse to arms, but the Ambassador has no official advices on which to base this belief, and it is only his personal views of the matter.

San Fbaxcisco, Dec. 30. An nouncement made here yesterday of the orders issued at Washington for the immediate dispatch of transports and troops from this port to Panama created a commotion at the Presidio and at the Army Quarter-master's headquarters here. The work of preparation for de parture is going forward today with great emergency. The torpedo-boat destroyers Preble and Paul Jones came down from Mare Island today and joined the gunboat Bennington, and under the convoy of that vessel sailed for Panama. A special dispatch from Washing ton today says that the General Staff of the Army is greatly concerned over reports reaching it that Colom bians are preparing to make a raid upon San Miguel Bay, where there is now stored large quantities of meats and cereals, and where many cattle are kept. The value of these stores is large, and their location is within comparatively easy striking distance for the Colombian Army, if the Ameri can Government does not take immed iate precautions to defend them. Today orders were issued to two companies of the Mountain Batteries, one stationed at Fort Riley and tho other at Fort Leavenworth, to be ready to go to San Miguel on an in stant's notice. Captain McNair, who has just returned from the Philip pines, wnere he did excellent moun tain work, will probably bo in com mand. One transport is being held in San Francisco and another at New York to take 250 men on rush orders to Isthmus for the express purpose of guarding these stores. These pre parations are entirely independent o those outlined in last evening's dis patch. Horrihlj filcctrocitlun Sc nc.

Russia and Japan are receiving nu merous letters from Americans from ill over tho countiy, offering their services in the event of war. I he Russian Ambassador and the Japanese Minister are declining ofliers of as sistance. At the Japanese Legation the an nouncement is authorized that for days Mr. Takahira's mail has contain ed many letters from Americans wish ing to enlist in the Japanese army or naT. The Minister is sending a per sonal note to each writer, expressing the profound appreciation of the Jaj anese people for this evidence of sympathy and support on the citizens of the United States, but saying that, even if assistance were needed, the laws of Japan preclude the employ ment of any foreign troops. Fur thermore, Japan's army and navy are adequate to meet the emergency. Mr. Takahira has advised his gov ernment bv cable of these offers of assistance, and the Japanese Embass ies and Legation throughout Europe also will be made aware of this dem onstration of American sympathy, Count Cassini, in declining the offers his government is receiving, also ex presses his thanks for the sentiments which prompt them.

After the fourth contact a stran gurgling in his throat made the physici ans step back and horrified the spectat ors. The contact was quickly repeated but still the stethoscope recorde dcardi nc action, aim two mora contacts were given. During the second contacts th head electrodes flashed brilliantly and there was an odor of burning hair. The executioner said it was the sponge be neath the electrode. He adjusted it more tightly before the next shock. Among thoso who made a test witli the stethos-cope was Dr. U. II. Stein, of Buffalo, and hu rcortcd that the heart had not censed to beat. When he had resumed his seat in the front row, and the fifth contact wan turned on, Dr, Stein Middenly pitched forward and fell to the floor in a swoon. State Electri cian Davis, in charge of the execution, explained the gurgling in White's throat by saying that he held his breath for n few moments after the first contact, and it was simply the air escaping from his lungs. He declared that White was practically dead after tho first contact. White was about 25 years of age. He had worked for Clare and murdered him for his moncv. New Telegraph Method. Patrick 1$.

Consolidation of the Water Light Plants. and The purchase of the Kocubnrg Water and Light Company's holdings iu this city and at Winchester also the pur chase of the properties of the local com- i:iiiy, known as the Douglas County Light and Water Compiny by Mr. Fred J. Blakeley, of the Oregon Booth and Timber Company, was consummat ed at a meeting of the stockholders of tho Douglas County Water and Light Company held iu the courthouse, M on lay evening lust. Mr. Blakeley, in nn interview with a representative of the Plaisdealkk, makes tho fol.owing statement in refer ence to the transaction: "W e have long been endeavoring to Reel an arrangement with the How burg Water and Light Company so that we might obtain the valuable booming ground and mill pile that they own at Winchester. Our efforts, however, were in vain, so, as a lat resort, we com menced negotiations for the purchase of the entire plant. This was not effected until a few days ago then, us a matter of good business policy, we made up our miuds to also purchase the local plant in Roteburv, as the two companies could be operated much more economically under ono management." Mr. Blakeley was asked about the present rates and whether they would be maintained. In answer to this ques tion, he (aid: "We will not raise the rates, but tt is our purpose to equalize them. In many cases people who have large residences, and consume a great deal of electricity for lighting their homes, pav no more than the man with a little, unostentatious home of his own This is not fair, and we hope to decide upon some plan that will make all charges equal and fair." Mr. Blakeley rays that the same plan will also be folio ud in furnishing water to consumers and he further fays that when the matter ia finally adjusted, he is satisfied that the people of this com tnunity will have no complaint to make about the i.ew management. "I am not going to pose as a philan thropist or anything of that sort," said Mr. Blakeley. "This is simply straightforward, clean-cut business prop osition. We want the mill site and booming grounds, and, in order to get them, we hail to take the electric com pany's holdings. These properties will be bonded at $200,00.1, the bonds bearing six percent interest, payable in 17 years. This principal and interest must be paid the interest every six months, and the principal at expiration of the life of the bonds. For this we will have to provide a sinking fund. In order to do this we must make these plants earn the necessary amount. " ith good busineis management and close economy, this can be easily done, and tin: people, at the same time. get the benefit of cheap light and water. "It is also our intention to make wmo much needed improvements in the er vice. In the first place, wo will have to rai.-e tho dam at Winchester, five fecU This will more than doable tho present power at that plant, but, by raising the water wheels tliu same height, it will put them at such a height that high wa ter will not affect them. Thja alone will make an enormous caving in fuel, which i very costly and hard to obtain "The raising of the dam will alo al low us to get plenty of water for our log pond, which will be below tho Southern Pacific railway bridge, and, at the same time, allow us to float logs to the pond, from our dam. "We will ajso endeavor to secure a site for a reservoir on one of the hills near Winchester, so that we can pump water direct to the reservoir, and then run the water to the Roseburg reser voir, by gravity This wilt not only re- lenso the pipe from great strain it now has to stand, but will also be a great saving in power. "We aro iu tho lumber business. The more rapidly this country grown, the greater will be tho demand for lumber, so it will be our object and aim to do all in our power to get new industries start ed here, and, for that reason, it will be our aim to furnish cheap power for all manufacturing purposes. "This country, nnd especially this vi cinity, needs something to give employ ment to the working classes, as won as to bring people here. With cheap pow er, and we will have plenty of it whon our present plans are completed, and with the people here uniting their ef forts with ours, Roseburg should make rapid strides from now on. "Another factor in getting tho Win chester plant, is that our company will not have to erect an independent dam. This alone will allow us to get our mills in operation at least a year earlier than wo could have done otherwiso. "Our people will spend not less than $10,100 iu improvements on tho Win chester plant. This, with the erection of our milling plants, which will cost somewhere in tho neighborhood of $20, 000, will put a great deal of money in circulation in this vicinity during tho next twolvo months Good Road Meeting.
