rive Indictments were returned this
morning by the federal grand Jury.
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. He
threw seven newspapers, addressed to
seven different residents of Baker City,
tntothe waste barket, and In that way
"delayed their delivery, contrary to the
peace and dignity of the United States
of America," according to the Informa
tion, He was indicted today, for the of
fense by the federal grand Jury.

POLITICS IN INDIANA
near Foiling point
(Joarntl Special 8rrte.) .
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,

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."

The anarchists temporarily dispersed.

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

trouble Is feared before nightfall.
The riot creates gloomy apprehension
and indicates the widespread discontent
of Berlin s proletariat classes.
