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.
MUST TELL OF ALL WRECKS
ROADS MUST NOTIFY RAILROAD
COMMISSION AT ONCE.
i
Commissioners of Washington Make
This Rule to Go Into Effect
Within 20 Days.
Olympla, Wash., Aug. 21. The
Railroad Commission has prepared a
rule under which It will hereafter
require all railroads In tho state 'to
notify the Commission by wire of any
wreck or accident on any lino In the
state' involving loss of life or fatal
injury to any passenger or employe.
Tho proposed rule, which will go into
effect 20 days after service, is as fol
lows:
"Immediately on receiving news of
a wreck or accident on Its line In
this state involving loss of life or
probable fatal injuries to any pas
senger or employe, the railroad com
pany shall cause the Railroad Com
mission to be notified by wire, giv
ing location of the wreck and, if pos
sible, the number of persons killed
or fatally injured."
The aboo rule Is In compliance
with section 28 of the Commission
law, which requires the Commission
to Investigate all wrecks in tho state
Involving loss of life' to passengers
or employes.

MATTERS OF INTEREST
WILLJEDISCUSSED
Chamber of Commerce Meeting To
night Will Have Several
Special Features.
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. Pierce, manager of the
cannery, has been putting up string
beans quite extensively this season.
The plant is handling peaches in
large quantities and also preserved
many berries of various kinds.
'Experimental gardens are being
conducted in connection with tho
cannery plant. Mr. Pierce has set
out 15,00 asparagus plants and next
year expects to be able to engage in
tho canning of this vegetablo for
which there is an almost unlimited
demand.

SWEDE BEATS
A JAPANESE
Photographers Badly Used and
Outfit Demolished on
Sound. '
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.
