Those against whom true bills were found are: : Harold Sparks, formerly postofflce clerk at Baker City, charged with Interrupting the United States malls: William Mills, George Willis and Hugh Carpenter, charged wiUi raising postofflce money orders, 'and; Thomas O'Brien of Harney county, charged with robbing a mail pouch. . ' Witnesses are being examined today to ascertain the facts connected with the burning of over 100 acres of valuable timber In tho Cascade forest reserve. Albert Canning, a prominent sheepman of that part of the state, Is charged with the offense and It is possible that an in dictment wlU be returned against hint tomorrow. The fire .Is said to have been caused through negligence on the part of Can ning or his employes. Flocks of sheep had been pastured on the reserve' ail fires were frequently built during tho night. It Is claimed, to drive away coy otes, which Infes? the- neighborhood. Sheepmen declare mat . fires built around the flocks will prevent such at tacks and men In Canning's employ are said to have frequently used such means to prevent the destruction of the sheep. During last July and August the Area which were built for that purpose are said to have spread to the adjoining tim bers and caused a forest Are. The flames destroyed ' over a hundred , acres of tim ber. : , , ... Among the witnesses who have been summoned and who are testifying are Forest Supervisor Bart ram of Roseburg; C. J. Bingham of Cottage Grove, and A. S. Malone and E. W. Phelps, sheep men from Prinevllle. They testified to day and will be compelled to remain In the city for several days in order- to complete their evidence. ' Canning haa not been 'arrested and great secrecy la being observed by the authorities. Thomas O'Brien, against whom an in dictment was returned today, was a mail carrier employed by tho government to carry mails between Venator and Burns, in Harney county. It Is charged that on Christmas day of last year O'Brien cut open a mail sack which he was carrying from one town to another and stole ISO worth of stamps, a check for S100 and two re vol vera The stamps were the property of the government, while the check was drawn by S. A. Mealy on the Eastern Oregon Banking company of Shaniko. It was so tempting to change a money order from 15 cents to 15 that William Mills, George Willi and Hugh Carpenter of Oregon City, yielded and secured the amount. The Investigation which re sulted caused their Indictment by the federal grand Jury today, Harold Sparks was a clerk In the post offlce at Baker City, where he grew care less In distributing people's mall.

Indianapolis, March 80. With ths Re publican state convention less than four weeks off the campaign for the guber natorial nomination is fast approaching the boiling point . Many of the counties are instructing their delegates, and each of the four candidates In the field has a goodly number to his credit. . If the instructed vote only Is considered, Frank Hanly , of . Tippecanoe county Is In the lead so far, and his friends are claiming his nomination easily. The other candidates, however, are far from conceding a victory for, Hanly, and the contest promises to be a hot one to the finish. The leading opponents of the Tippecanoe candidate are Judge Will lam L. Penfleld of Auburn, Warren O. Sayre of Wabash, and W. I Taylor of this city. Judge Penfleld has. never been marked factor in. state politics, but he has been connected with the national ad ministration since the election of McKin ley . In 189S, and a representative of the country before The Hague tribunal In the Venesuelan controversy. He attracted considerable attention. Warren Q. Sayre, who Is making an active canvass for the nomination, has been associated with some of the stirring scenes of Indiana politics, and has won distinction as a leader of his party. W. L. Taylor, the fourth candidate, haa been attorney-general of . the state for fouy years. Like the others, he Is a lawyer and a man of popular presence, HOWARD'S NEW HEAD.

Howard university has oc cupied a conspicuous place In educa tional circles since it was founded in 1S67 by Gen. O. O. Howard, after whom It was named. The university Is espe cially designed for colored people, al though no one Is excluded. v PALACE HOTEL TO PLAY SECOND FIDDLE (Sae rraactace Korean ef The Toarnal.) . San Francisco, March 80.

It is thought that she found the finan cial burden of furnishing and keeping the elegant structure oeyond her ex tensive fortune. IVtVr HANTS PERMANENTLY CURIE Sy w rOS. FULL SAATKULARS I Minus wmrmrYwsrmrTi- roTiNo rr. : (Journal Special Service.) Chicago, March SO. Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court delivered an address last night be. fore the Municipal League association that is being echoed about the .city to day.V;;.-,':S -;:K ;-;.',; Terse, logical and at times scathing, the Jurist made his argument from the standpoint that the country's laws are not at fault for existing lawlessness, but. it is. the lack of their enforcement He -said in part: "Ours is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The underlying principle of republican insti tutions is equality. Each man is en titled to one vote and no more. One man's vote is as good and no better than another's. , Never, . however, look upon it as property, something for bar ter and sale. ' It ehould be to every true American like the water of life, without money and without price. The Baslo Principle. "This rule of equality la the baslo principle of our political life, however short we may come of realising it The Declaration of Independence is still a living and glowing truth and not a mere chromo of dead though glittering gen eralities. According to this, the ma jority determines and makes the law and the minority must obey or go else-: where. ,';.! "It Is a truism that all should obey the law. It is a part of the Anglo-1 Saxon's political creed. . Especially Is this true wherever the law is not made for the citizen, but where the citizen makes the law. If a number of men unite In a partnership on equal terms, undoubtedly the majority should con trol and the minority submit to their Judgment or quit the partnership. Crimes la Cities. "And the first thing which I wish to suggest is that there is more violation of law in a city than elsewnere. There is more crime in a city than In the coun try. There are 'many reasons for this. One is the city is the abiding place of the criminal. The opportunities of es cape and the means or concealment are greater. Now, vice and crime are busi ness, and they go where property is and the multitudes are. There also they flnf their friends and sympathisers. In such localities and amid such surround ings their business flourishes. The Judge then explained why laws in cities, where the population is densely massed, should be conservatively made and rigidly enforced. He showed from many illustrations, citing among them the Iroquois theatre disaster, how neg lect of law or proper precaution may cost wholesale destruction of life. He declared that nothing but the strong arm of municipal law could hold In check the lawless element of any city. He emphasized the necessity of ' sta bility in office of those charged with the duty of preserving the public peace, and Bald it must be Impressed upon all dwellers In the city that there is power to punish, a power that endures, and a power that will never let up. That .sense of stability will be secured In our cities, he said, only when a permanent tenure of office and civil service reform are established. In conclusion Judge Brewer said: "Just so soon as that fact Is known, and all come to understand that your single and resolute purpose is the main tenance of peace obedience to law that thav purpose is something not taken up today to be laid down tomor row, but the fixed, abiding purpose of your lives, you may be sure that disor derly elements will yield to that pur pose, and you will not merely lift your chosen city to a high position in busi ness and wealth, in education, science, art and religion, but will also make It one where peace and order ' prevail, where vice hides its head, where Justice rules, and the universal voice of the law hears no resisting reply." BLOODSHED IN BERLIN (Continued from Page One.) the) peace party, were more or, less se riously injured. Charged by Voiles. . The police and soldiery charged. The mob scattered, but again collected fur ther up the thoroughfare. As the troops advanced another attack was made upon them, and this time the mob was beaten back by a troop of cavalry which had been called from the barracks. The anarchists temporarily dispersed. but came together at the Lehrter sta tion. At this time there were 1,600 In the rabble. The police and military forces had been augmented by strong re inforcements and drove their assailants from the south end of the station, but the defeated crowd took down the iron barriers at another part of the station, maltreated the railway officials, broke the signal boxes and began tearing up the tracks. The vandals were pursued, many were seriously wounded and SO arrests were made. The. remainder of the mob fled a mile but Oh the railroad lines, from which point messengers were sent to various parts of the city calling for all anarchists to assemble. A riot call was sounded by direction of the city authorities and people were warned to keep to their houses. This afternoon, there are bands gath ering In many districts of the city, and trouble Is feared before nightfall. The riot creates gloomy apprehension and indicates the widespread discontent of Berlin s proletariat classes. BOISE IN DANGER OF GREAT FLOODS (Journal Special Service.) Boise, Idaho, March "29.
