of Louis Weinkauif,. who died at
Sacred Heart hospital Friday at the age
of 78, has not been given burial by his
sons, and now lies at the Buchanan un
dertaking parlors.
. It is claimed that Louis Weinkauff,
, the deceased, had some money not long
ago.' and that one of the boys secured
. possession of it, with the consent of
his father. Max, the son who formerly
lived at Newport, claims his brother
Louis obtained the money and with It
started a saloon at Colbert.
The latter denies the charge, and says
he received no .money from his father,
ana is no mure ouunu iu cumnuui

body will be held a short tlm. that the

thought flashed across Mantello's mind
that the men had gone with his wife.
He then rushed to where the saving
of many months' hard work had been
hid, but the money, too, was gone.
, Taking his sleeping infant In his
arms, he carried the babe to- the home of
a neighbor, where the child was left
to be taken care of while Mantello went
to look for his wife. He met Joseph
Morak, and together they sought high
and low for, the missing three.
Morak accompanied Mantello to Dis
trict Attorney Manning's office this
morning, where he secured a warrant
for the arrest of ..the trio.

New York, March 7.- The average
Oothamlte is a patient creature and as a
rule he voices only feeble protest against
paying more for his living than any one
else on the face of the globe, but when
it comes to paying more for his dally
bread, In a literal sense well, that's
another matter. This winter the price
if beef has gone up by leaps and bounds
until It has become almost a luxury.
The cost of vegetables and nearly all
staple groceries baa Increased propor
tionately. Tenants throughout the city
have received notice that beginning May
1 their rents will be Increased, In some
oases ss much as 10 per cent The coal
man has charged the limit for his pro
ducts this winter and the Ice man prom
ises to do the same next summer.
All of this has been borne more, or
less without complaint, but today mut
terlngs of discontent were heard from
the Battery to the Harlem river and a
flood of wrath promises' to break loose
at any moment and hurl to destruction
the baker man who has followed In the
footsteps of the landlord, the butcher,
the grocer and the coal dealer in increas
ing the price of his wares.
When the housewife went to the door
this morning and received from the
baker boy the breakfast rolls or buns,
she found upon opening the bag that it
contained but six Instead of the cus
tomary seven or eight The same start
ling discovery was made from one limit
of the metropolis to the other. A call
at the bakery brought to light the fact
that the master bakers throughout the
cly have made an Ironclad agreement to
advance prices and that the increase be
came effective today. The increase af
fects not only bread and rolls, but all
other bakers' products of which wheat
flour forms the basis.
The high price of flour is the plea
offered by the bakers for the advance In
prices, but they are careful to add that
the new schedule will be maintained no
matter how flour quotations go. They
declare that not only has the price of
flour greatly increased, but that rents
have gone up 16 or 25 per cent, the
cost of labor has increased 25 per cent
In two years, while hours of work have
been reduced. It would be impossible,
they say, to make money at the old
prices.
ADDITION TO SELLING
. HIRSCH BUILDING
Three stories will soon be added to
the Selling-Hlrsch building at Wash
ington, West Park and Tenth streets.
The plans have been drawn by. Archi
tect Edgar M. Lazarus and the contract
for the work has been awarded to A. M.
McKensle. The new extenoion will be
25 by 70 feet and Will be located south
of the present structure on Tenth street.
It will cost $15,000. - The new structure
will ' have a store on the ground floor
and 12 rooms on the two upper floors.
It will be finished in the an me material

Tho grand Jury which was Impaneled
in the etat circuit court this morning
before John B. Cleland. presiding Judge,
will investigate a charge of larceny pre
ferred against Walter Alley, who Is ac
cused of taking a diamond ring belong
ing to Madeline Carbonette, a variety
performer, and placing it in. pawn. Al
ley is now confined in the county Jail
and has the dubious distinction of being
the first man whose name figures in the
annals of the present grand Jury. The
ring was pawned on February 4, for 140.
The Jury was drawn in department 1
by Deputy Clerk Marion R. Johnson, as
follows: Philip Metschan, Charles W.
Gay, Henry Hewitt Charles Fernau, W.
M. Kllllngsworth, Peter J. Newberg and
Thomas D. Honeyman. It was then
taken to department 3 and sworn In by
L. R. Smith,' chief deputy clerk. After
ward Judge Cleland appointed Metschan
foreman and gave the body Us Instruc
tions. Foreman Metschan Us the pro
prietor of the Imperial hotel and has of
ficiated as state treasurer. r
The court instructed the Jury that Its
deliberations would be secret but that
the bench had the right to learn the tes
timony In case any witness - examined
should be suspected of perjury.
. "Five Jurors are necessary to return
an indictment,'' said Judge Cleland.
"You are not bound to send out for wit
nesses to testify for a man accused of
any crime, but if you have good reason
to believe that it would result In no true
bill being filed against him I should ad
vise you to do so. You will have aocess
to all .public records at reasonable hours
and the investigation of prisons, other
public institutions and the conduct of
county officials is In your domain'
The laws relative to libel and to set
ting forest fires were read to the Jury.as
is required by statute. In charge of
John F. Logan, the bailiff, the Jurors
then retired to the room set apart for
their deliberations and remained there
until 11 o'clock, at which hour an ad
journment was taken until 10 o'clock to
morrow morning.
District Attorney Manning says he has
received no intimation that the gambling
question will be ' brought before the
grand Jury. When asked if he had laid
a charge against Walter Alley with the
Jnry he refused to answer.
This Is the first grand Jury called for
almost two years.

Saturday by the depositors, and the safe

Everything In the safe was found as
it should be, as nearly as could be
Judged by the Information at hand. The
safe contained $3 In coppers, and notes
to the amount of 12,080, ....
The books have not been examined,
and until that Is done, it cannot be
stated ; exactly the amount the safe
should contain. The safe which was
paid for at the time It was delivered. Is
worth $500, which with furniture and
fixtures of the bank will, It Is estimated,
pay the creditors about 80 cents on the
dollar. The principal depositors are J.
W. Flshburn, D. A. Magnes, S. W. Her,
R. C. Thomas and J. C. Nichols.
Suit brought by a number of credi
tors against the former directors of the,
bank, has caused considerable feeling, as
they maintain they were entirely re
lieved of the responsibility, having re
fused to serve as' directors. '
Yesterday a man, saying he was from
the east, and had come to Portland to
meet Arthur C. Probert here to arrange
for assuming the position of cashier at
his Dayton bank, spent some time at
the Portland hotel waiting for Probert
to keep his appointment with him. His
patience finally tiring he Inquired of the
hotel clerk as to Probert. telling him of
his appointment and the object for
whichH was made. When the stranger
was told of Probert's mysterious dis
appearance he was dumbfounded, appar
ently, -for a time, but soon left, refujyr,
to give his name or stopping place.
SHIVERING ILLINOIS
TALKS OF OREGON ICE
"Is the climate going back on the Pa
clflo coast T Late reports go to show
that the January roses of ths Willam
ette valley have been snowed under and
frozen out by a right down, old-fashioned
eastern winter. The cold has boon
so Intense and the snow so deep In Port
land that the harbor has been blockaded
with Ice and railroads were unable to
handle the traffic urgently offered. On
tho Washington coast hurricanes ' have
been mo severe as to destroy numerous
buildings and wreck several vessels.
Gales of unusual ferocity have delayed
shipments of lumber all the' way down
the coast from Puget sound to San
Francisco. What's the use of chasing
after climate anyway, when the glorious
one of California and ths whole west

a' way." '
The above clipping from the Ameri

ruary 27. wag received with many laughs
in thie city. , .
'The coldest day experienced in Port

A N. .
Bo Local Zssnse,
There have been practically no im
portant local Issues in this campaign.
Pledges to the "sporting" element have
been made by the. supporters of both
candidates, : though : neither has given
personal promises. The town is now
"wide open," gambling games - having
quietly resumed within the past three
weeks. This concession to the gam
blers, who are making hay while the
sun shines, was made by Mayor Humes
in order to appease the First ward ele
ment. This ward was claimed a week
ago for Tucker by from 700 to 1,000
majority. Faro and roulette games are
now In operation In several places, but
It can be put down as a certainty that
they will be closed Immediately after
election If Bellinger wins. .
Humes Zs Working.
One of the most signficant features of
the Republican campaign is the promi
nence taken In the speechmaklng by
Mayor Humes, who Is now closing his
third term as Seattle's ' chief executive.
Humes Is a supporter of Plies for sen
ator, and with Bellinger, ll deeply In
terested In the success of Plies. Humes
could have had a renominatlon had he
desired It and until sis weeks ago he
was In a receptive position. It Is re
liably stated that he was induced, to
withdraw1, and turn- his strong personal
following to Bellinger In return for a
promise from Piles that If the latter
were elected senator, the mayor would
be taken care of. This explains Bal
linger's support of the bill before con
gress dividing Washington into two fed
eral Judicial districts, during his recent
trip to the national capital where he
appeared as a lobbyist for several meas
ures. Humes' lifelong ambition has been
to hold a seat on the federal bench.
There Is work enough In the state for
two district Judges and' if Piles Is elected
Humes will get. the Job.
Another underground current not visi
ble save to the Initiated, Is the absolute
Indifference of the anti-Piles men In ths
campaign Just ending. Hone of the antl
Plles faction has been represented In
the speechmaklng, the campaigners be
ing confined to Humes, Ballinger, the
councilmanlc. and other candidates and
two or thres politicians friendly ' to
Piles' aspirations and' opposed to the
dominant faction in King county politics.
One or two Wilson men have entered the
lists, but the friends of Furth, who Is
talked of more strongly than ever for
senator, and of Dr. Smith, tbe guber
natorial candidate, have not been heard
from in this campaign. The antl-PlUs
men have conserved all their resources
for 'the coming contest for the delega
tion from King county to the state con
vention, which meets st Tacoma May 11.
This will be the glgantlo struggle In
King county's political history,. As soon
as he Is in the harness, if elected, Bel
linger will drill for Plies whose forces
will struggle with, the 8mlth supporters
for control of the county delegation. , Bo
