WEBBACCUSES MANNING Mail's Stories Conllict And Tlioy Arc " Sent Out of the Country f Breakwater. The Sacchi burglary case la settled and the parties who were Implicated were forwarded out of the country by Ofllcer Carter. It was not learned for a certainty who was the guilty party, or there would have been business for Sheriff Gage. Webb, the boy who informed the Times about the affair, was kept in limbo yesterday forenoon, when the officers concluded thero was no use of keep ing him lockd up If they wished to find the man Webb said did the job. He was accordingly liberated and al lowed to hunt the streets for the one ho had talked with the previous night and who asked him if he wish ed to make a piece of easy money. This party had been fully described by Webb to the officers and was lo cated yesterday by him. It turned out, to be E. Manning, the advance man of the Lowe Stock Company, who had been in Marshfleld for the past two weeks and was awaiting the sailing of the Dreakwater. Manning had engaged with another company as advance man and was to sail yes terday for Portland to take up his duties. He was locked up in the city cala boose until yesterday afternoon, when he was taken before District Attorney Ed. Farrin, and in com pany with Webb, questioned about the burglary. The result of the ex amination was simply ono man's word against the other's. Manning said he had never seen Webb before he pointed him out on the street for arrest. Webb was positive Manning was the man who took him to the scene of the burglary. Under the circumstances there was too much uncertainty to warrant making any determined effort to convict either of the men and they were hurried to North Bend and told to get out of the country on the Dreakwater. Whether they succeeded In making connec tions was not learned, but thero Is the beach between here and Gardiner if they failed. Webb's actions were the subject for considerable discussion yesterday and there were some who .believed he was the only person concerned in the matter. But his story was connected so far as the Times heard. It was a fact, nevertheless, that he was badly excited and in this excitement he came near Implicating a couple of other parties who were in no wise cognizant of the matter.

IOWA PEOPLE TRY VXQNTRAflT MARRIAGE Nmilneiiyfencher mill Author En- teml-Comnact for n Year With Doctor and It Failed. Des Moines, la., Aug. 21. R. Ella- orth Call, once prominent in Iowa, now a scientist and author in New York, formerly head of a normal school that was started by the late Edwin H. Conger and others at Dex ter, la., and now holding a position on the faculty of the DeWItt Clinton high school of New York City, has been heard from. Iowa people had all but forgotten the genius of geo logy until Information came from New York that he was mixed up in a divorce proceedings. Call Is suing his wife for a divorce and she proposes to resist it. He claims that she married him for his money. She claims that they enter ed Into a strange wedding pact whereby they were to be married for a year on probation, but that the probation proved unfavorable in that Call failed to supply a sufHclent amount of the coin of the realm with which to run the bouse and that she left him soon after they were mar ried because of that fact. She has given to the press some poems and letters written by Call in which he calls her his "angel-faced child," his "turtle dove," and hiB 'own baby girl," but "he failed even to attempt to support me." While a resident of Iowa, Call lived mostly in Adel county, while he was connected with tho Dexter, la., normal school. He was an atheist and advocate of "free love." Most of Adel county was Presby terian. Trouble followed and the management of the school began to hunt for an excuse to get rid of Call. They soon found it when in his ad vocacy of "free love" ho became too Intimate. The management of the school met and passed resolutions requesting Call to resign. He re plied by suing the management for $20,000 damages, and lost. From that time on Call was lost to Iowa. Ho traveled and lectured on "free love," but nothing had been heard from him till information of the New York divorce was found In the New York papers and the story of the strange pact between him and his wife, Mrs. Bijou Jeanette Charlmet Call. Now Call claims that he gave his wife a pre-nuptial present of $1,000 and a post-nuptial present of $5,000, and that as soon as Mrs. Call secured these she left him. Mrs. Call claims ho never gave her anything but a handkerchief and a wedding ring. Mrs. Call previous to her marriage was a beauty doctor of tho "400," and Is herself beautiful and young. She says: "Professor Call is a silly old man whose love professions were all embodied in talk and poetry." Call was in Adel county in the early '80s.

IBI FINED Mulloy Teamsters, Engaged In Moving Machinery, Taken Into Custody. BELL PAYS THEIR FINES Machinery Left on Main Thorough fare Until Some Better Un derstanding Is Had. Seymour II. Bell and a company of workmen met with one of North Bend's ordinances yesterday and when the affray was over, the city of North Bend was enriched by a fine assessed against the men whom Bell had employed In moving the ma- chincry from the electric lighting plant at the Old Town to the Porter plant. The Mulloy company sent three teams to North Bend to do the heavy hauling and when they had turned off Sherman avenue on Vir ginia, the arrest of the teamsters took place. Mr. Bell was summoned from Marshfleld to adjust the mat ter and secured the release of the men who were before Judge Rum mell and charged with teaming in the city without a license. The fines were paid by Mr. Bell and then the workmen prepared to finish the work. Judge Rummell informed them that it was necessary to have a license for each team and would not allow the work to proceed without the licenses being taken out. Mr. Bell refused to go any further with the work, and ordered his men to dump the machinery in the street where it remains. He was warned that he would have to move it from its temporary resting place or he would be fined for obstructing the street. This was at noon yesterday, but he Is still at large and tho ma chlmney Is in the street. Mr. Bell was seen last evening by a Times reporter and asked regard ing the matter. Mr. Bell said that he was told by Mayor Simpson who is now absent, to go ahead with the work, and there would be no trouble. He, Bell, understood tho ordinance requiring license, and. thought the fact that there were no trucks of sufficient capacity in North Bend to move tho machinery, justified him in Importing teams and trucks from Marshfleld and this was accordingly done. , But the officials of North Bend look on the matter in a different light and it is understood they will Insist on keeping strictly to the let ter of the ordinance.

Tonight is Chamber of Commerce meeting night. Announcement will be made of the premium list tonight for the finest Gravensteln and other apple3, and for the best specimens of vegetables grown In Coos county. Tables are being arranged at the Chamber of Commerce rooms for the display of products to be offered. Not only fruit and vegetables, but specimens of Coos county coal, brick, furniture, and other manufactured articles are to be placed on perma nent display. Another matte; that will receive attention at tonight's meeting Is tho delay In the mail service. Cut off from the rest of the state, so far as railroad connection is concerned, it would seem the Coos Bay country Is at least entitled to mall service with out any unnecessary delay. But It Is often tho case, this county is getting its mail twenty-four hours later than it might bo delivered. It is due mainly to changing tho mall from train No. 15, leaving Portland at 7:50 in the evening to train No. 13, leaving Portland at 11:30. Train No. 13 is often delayed, and when it is the Roseburg stage comes with out waiting for tho mall, and thus Coos county is put twenty-four hours behind in getting its mail. This ac counts for the Portland papers being often three days old Instead of two when they reach the Bay. Thomas Finnegan, representing one of the Portland dailies will present the mat ter to the people at the Chamber of Commerce meeting tonight. Others will also be heard on the subject and steps" probably will be taken looking to a new order of mail service. There has been no falling off, but rather an increase in the number of new 'comers at the Chamber's head quarters this week. PEARS PLENTIFUL IN ROGUE VALLEY Orchnrds Near Ashland Bearing Fine Fruit. Peaches Arc a Hit Scarce. Ashland, Aug. 21. Every day is n busy one for the orchardlst pf the Rogue River Valley and laborers are greatly in demand. Bavtlett pear packing has been in progress for sev eral days and one of the buslesst places in this section is at the Quellet orchardvat Talent, four miles north west of Ashland. The Pellet or chards are loaded with tho finest of f suits thi3 year. The yield in all tho apple and pear orchards will be far greater than was anticipated a few veeks ago. Th; recent rwny rains, during which .nearly two inches of moisture fell and extended over a period of several days, adilnd tens of thousands of dol lars to tho wealth of the apple grow ers of thte valley. Tho peach crop In the Ashland district is ret a full one, but consid eiable fino fruit is finding its way to market nt this time. Some of the orchards have a particularly heavy crop and are promising to yield snug jmd profitable sums to tho owners who are enthusiastic over the peach In'diistry I: this section. Ashland tomatoes are Just getting Into mirke', and are not yet very plentiful, though they will coma In lively In few days. The Ashlani cannery Is preparing to handle im mense quantles of tomatoes, having large contracts with growers for de livery at the cannery for this pur pose. C. H.

' ISLAND CAMP IS WRECKED He Suspected They Were Doing Spy Duty and a Fight Followed. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 21. John Olson, a logger, found three Japan ese photographers taking pictures on the sound, smashed their cameras, broke up all their plates and then beat un the Japanese. The Japanese photographers had been taking pictures around Lummi, Ories, Whitney and other Islands In lower Puget Sound. Olson ran across them and demanded to know what they were doing. Ho was denied an answer and ono of tho Japanese add ed that as Olson was a Swede he ought to have no Interest in their photographic studies. Olson's retort was Immediate and vigorous. He pummeled tho photo grapher until he was helpless, broke his camera and smashed all the plates. Ho then went to the camp of the Japanese and cleaned out thd rest of the party, destroying the work of two weeks within a few minutes. When Olson had finished his work he started tho Japanese toward Seat tle with the announcement that he was born In Minnesota and invited the to make the assault the basis of international complications. The three Japanese photographers have been extremely active, but It Is not believed any significance attach ed to their action. PUBLIC LANDS FOR HOMESTEAD ENTRY Considered of Little Value, Yet a Rush of Entrynien is Expected Another, Aug. 20. (Roseburg Review.) Pursuant to an order issued by the Interior Department on tho 0th day of last May, about 8,000 acres of un appropriated government land will bo thrown open for entry at the United States Land, Office in Rose burg Thursday. Tho land consists of odd sections and parts of sections in the Siskiyou Reserve In Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties and Is said to be worth very little. Tho or der restoring it to entry includes about 00,000 acres of other land In the reserve, but this is either unsur veyed or covered by filings, which have been held up since tho entire area was withdrawn in April, 1903. Local timber agents say that tho 8,000 acres to be restored to entry Thursday would have been 'filed on long ago had it been considered of sufficient value to warrant the trouble. 'Notwithstanding its reported small valuo, tho land to bo thrown open is evidently not going begging for en trymen. Already thore are four men lined up In tho corridor of the land office, and it Is not improbablo that this number will be greatly augment ed by tho tlmo the entry books open at nine o'clock Thursday morning. The first of tho four men who form the advance squad of landseekers be gan his wearisome vigil as early as last Thursday' The second appeared on Saturday, the third on Monday and tho fourth this morning. Only during meal hours are they absont, and at those times their places of vantage are held by companions. Approximately two-thirds of tho land to bo filed on Is situated In Curry county. It, Is comprised of about one-fourth of township .39-13 and parts of tho following sections: 8, 18 and 30 of 34-11; C, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 23 of 35-11, and 13, 14 and 15 of 35-12. In Josephine county there will bo ono ontiro section, No. 9 of 41-9, and parts of these sections: 12 of 40-9; 2 4, C, 8, 12, 14, 20 and 24 of 3915; 2. 10, 12 and 18 of 38-6, and 20 and 34 of 37-8. Jackson county has ono whole sec tion, No. 20 of 40-0, and In the samo township and range parts of the fol lowing sections; 12, 20, 24 and 34. Also parts of sections 4, 0, 8 and 18 of 39-0. AUSTRALIAN AFTER C0SS BAY FRUITS Mr. DufTy's Interesting Talk on Bo- slbilities of Fruit Raising The Austral Ian Market. Mr. P. Duffy, of Sydney, Australia, an expert fruit grower and buyer, was at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday after .quietly making a tour of observation through tho Coos Bay district. His business was, of course, to look up the fruit yield ;ntl to investigate the fruit possibilities of this section. His arrival was duo mostly to tlie recent agitation by tho Chamber of Commerce of the eaeol lence of the Gravensteln apple and propects of making It a specially of local orchard Ists. ' Mr. Duffy talked very Interestingly of his experience as a fruit grerjrer and buyer and said that the Austral ian Jnarket alone would take all of the Coos Bay yield, for years to come, If It could get it, no mutter how great tho yield was. Apples were a staple and it was impossiblo ko get too many good apples. Aus- tralia wanted them, China and Jajjaa want them. Tho tropics, India and the orient were cultivating a taste and appetito for them which would never bo satisfied. Mr. Duffy was astonished at -rihafc ho saw In the Coos Bay country. He had been In most of the American fruit districts representing the Aus tralian importers of fruit and ho did. not hesitate to say that Coos comity must be the most remarkable applo district in America. The prool of this, he thought, was the beautlfnl and juicy product of orchards which, did not seem to have received any care. "Why," said he, "many of tho owners of orchards (lid not know whether they had any apples or not and when we went out to see, the trees hung heavily laden. Such ap ples! Cods must have a soil that goes down to China, for nowhere else can such yields be produced without care and attention. How much greater would be the yield and how much hotter tho fruit if your or chardlsts would only prune and spray the trees and cultivate around them. They would beat the world." Mr. Duffy thought the rich bottom lands could never bo used for jnoro profitable purpose than tho produc tion of apples, for they could bo made to bring an easy profit oS ?1, 000 per acre. The high land3 and bench lands, too, could bo mn$ as profitablo as the lowlands. Tho world never wanted apples as they want them now and they wan all they can get. Good apples wil al ways command the price. NEW FIRM TO HANDLE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES Coos Bay Gas and Electric Coifcjxiny Sells Outfitting Part of Business.
