- Chicago, Feb. 26. W. E. Baker, spe
cial service cleric In the quartermas
ter's office at Fort Sheridan, has been
discharged from the service because he
refused to spell "routing" with an "e.
' thus: "routeing." The command was
'riven the young Clerk by Lieutenant
Colonel Sillier, who was preparing some
transportation papers. Baker-said-such
spelling 'would be incorrect Miller,
dressed In his authority, commanded him
to spell the word as he directed. Baker
refused, and yesterday the secretary of
war ordered his discharge, saying that
the clerk had disobeyed an order from
his superior officer. Baker says he will
carry the case to President Roosevelt
Saying that he had been drugged and
robbed of two $20 bills on Tuesday night
or early Wednesday morning, Fred
Downs picked up the rest of his belong
ings that had been deposited at the
police station when he was arrested yes
terday for being drunk, and started for
his home near Sara, Wash. Downs re
cently sold his timber ranch near Sara,
and came to Portland. Ho was arrested
at 1 a. m. yesterday by Patrolmen Baty
and Adams. J
When Downs secured his things that
had been taken from his pockets when
he had been brought to the police sta
tion, he besran to look through bU pa
pers and pocketbook. When asked the
object Of his search, the. ex-ranenman
replied: .. .. .
"I was drugged and two zo ouis
taken from me. I spent most of last
Tuesday evening In the Queen' Annie
saloon, and I think they doped me there."
Downs admitted having visited one
or two Other north end saloons- during
his tour. But the Queen Annie saloon,
corner of Fourth and Burnside streets,
is the last place that Downs can remem
ber having visited. He stated that ho
had three $20 bills when he left the
little Washington town veveral days
ago, and that he had one of them changed
Just before leaving Vancouver ror Port
land.
The other, two bills I put In my Shirt
pocket .thinking, of course, that they
would be safe there. But I guess they
are gone for good, now."
When he was released Downs showed
the police officers at the station 'chat he
still had money. Besides several doi
lars In change, the man from Sara had
a check on a Vancouver bank for $300
and a $250 note that had been given as
part payment for his ranch.

WIZARD BURBANK'S -NEW
KIND OF POTATO
Hrrt SpecUt Serrlee.) -
Santa Rosa, Feb. 25. For the first
time today Luther Burbank, the "wliard
of horticulture," was induced to say
something about the coming revolution
In the potato world, which ' his genius
has' brought to life. This Is probably
one of Mr. Burbank's greatest achieve
ments. He has produced new strains o.
potatoes and is perfecting his great
work. He has produced a new potato
successfully and is now working to
make them of a little larger size. With
magic skill be produces large or small
varieties at will, this latter achieve
ment Is only a matter of time. In the
remotest parts of the earth, Wherever
the potato is used, agricultural scien
tists are awaiting Burbank's latest crea
The new potato will be sweeter than
the old one. The pulp will be almost
of a carot color and will be very pal
atable. Burbank admitted that this new
kind of potato will revolutionize the
world, so far as potatoes are concerned.

The Baker theatre Is everywhere
known as the home of high class comedy
and drama, and those plays - selected
from week to week are not Only from
the very best authors, but they are
chosen with the end in view of best
suiting the peculiar characteristics of
the different members of the Baker
theatre company. While It Is next to
Impossible to always fit every one per
fectly, a most pleasing harmony is the
rule, and in "The Case of Rebellious
Susan," which Is running all this week,
an especially pleasing effect is obtained.
The play Is a bright, witty comedy of
more than ordinary merit.
"THB TWO OBf XABS."
"The Two Orphans" will be seen at
the Baker next week beginning Sunday
afternoon and an extra fine production
is promised of this notable drama, the
story of which is very familiar. :

Husbands no doubt frequently are

them to death, as Is alleged to have been
attempted by a New York wife who con

should be firmly discouraged.
