Colorado, to Miss Fay Graham of Clin ton, wto waa an intimate rriena oi the family during the life of the flrat wife. The early marriage within six weeka of the death of the first wife created much reaentment and aroused anew the Soasip which waa caused by the peculiar teta concerning the-death of the flrat wife.

In response to this State's Attorney Miller took steps to have the body exhumed. Whether the disinterment took place thla week or not Is not known aa great secrecy waa enjoined.

She waa anubbed by aome of her closest friends. It became unbearable to her. ,8be told her father that she was go ing to Kankakee and from there to Chicago. She left her home a little more than six weeks ago and soon after Maglll and his daughter left the city.

(Heint Newa by Ixuge(t Leamd Wlie.) Washington, July 13. Postmaster General Moyer today climbed Into the band wagon of celebrities and took a seat with Judge Landis of Chicago, his passage having been earned because he took a Vail out of the oil king, Jonn D. Rockefeller. Incidentally, the postmaster-general showed h.s contempt for the dread that has seemingly surrounded the name of Rockefeller in the postofflce depart ment by concluding in one week a case that has hunjr fire for several years and which Messrs. Payne and Cortel- you, when they filled the office could not settle. In the Adlrondacka Is the great Rockefeller estate. On the edge of the tract of land held by the oil king la Brandon, New York. 'It was ' once a fourth class 'postofflce. Rockefeller had the office there discontinued and an office estabiisned at way fond, a small settlement three miles within the borders of his estate. He owned every inch or land arouna nay rona. A civil war veteran by the name of Lamorn, going to Bay Pond after hi mail, stopped to fish in one of Rocke feller's streams. One of Rockefeller' patrols discovered the fisherman and he was ejected from. the estate.. Then La mora started In to fight for his right to go to the postofflce, no matter where It was. In order to get his mall. He went to the courts, but the appeal to the judiciary was useless. Then he took his case to the postofflce. department, and last week the case was brought to iJofltmaster uenerai Meyers attention. Today he directed that an office be es tablished at Brandon.

The most serious development of the affair, however, is the allegation made by Chock Wey, manager of the Yuen Wah company and one of the best- known Chinese residents of this city, that concomitant with the departure of the police from his house a gold ear ring and gold bracelet worth about 150 were also missing. Upon Information furnished by Wil liam bulls, a detective employed by the Portland Railway Light & Power com pany, that he had aeen a white woman enter the premises at 211 Alder street Kay and Kienlin, accompanied by their Informant, an employe of the telephone company and an ez-newapaper man, rushed Into 211 Alder street. Receiving no response to a knock at the door the offlcera broken nnen the door. The rooms are occupied by Chock Wey and hla family as a dwelling place, but this made no apparent difference to the sleuths. Every nook and corner of the apartments were searched for aome trace of the woman claimed to nave oeen seen by LiUls entering the place, but she was not to be found. Tucked snugly In their bed for the night were Chock Wev'i vounr ohnfirJn and the little ones were greatly alarmed by the tumultuous entrance of the "White devils.''

In order to avoid the expense attend and upon aa outing Cameron announced yesterday morning that commencing that day, and continuing throughout the summea there will be no seaaions of the polrce court on Saturdays. The action of the judge has excited much comment particularly in the po lice department. The accumulation of cases from Friday to Monday will have a tendency to greatly crowd the cal endar. .

After the pub licatlon of the official determination of the government to send the battleship fleet to the Pacific, whlcja was soon followed by official confirmation, there was a loosening up of the news to bo given out at the war and navy depart ments. The extensive plans of the gov ernment for the mining of the Pacific coast ports were printed today. It is therefore admitted, but not openly yet that the "next" vessel to leavo San Francisco with a large pnrt of the cargo consisting of torpedoes, mines and other offensive and defensive stuff, will sail from Ban Francisco on or about the 15th lnatant. This "next" vessel ' is the transport Cook. It is learned, however, that there have been already large lots of material sent out to the Philippines. One vessel, in could not ao tne wora. wow tne otten out there, wnetner by occasional loads in naval vessels or by private shipments. Is not known, but it Is known that the government will not be caught napping even in far-away Olongapo in case of a war, whether the war la declared suddenly or by ample notice ao determined today at The Hague. Will Be Beady for War. At The Hague the remarks" of General Horace Porter had a keen significance here. Hla idea la that no rules could bind the president to wait for actual of fensive preparations if he knew that war had been declared by any nation. The fact of -war is an elastic matter. It does not merely consist of a foreign nation actually sending a fleet, says to the Atlantic or Paclflo coast The ex istence of a state of war is a question for the state department and thai knowledge it may have obtained from its secret agents abroad. The point made was that General Por ter has precluded any chance of the United States being; taken unawares by tying up the rules of war with any hard and .fast features that would give an enemy tin advantage and especially if the enemy be characteristically un scrupulous. The preparations of the United States will be added to materially by the bat tleships themselves so i far as the west coast Is concerned. It is assumed here by officers that every one of the battle ships going to the Paclflo will have more than sufficient magazine supplies. The opportunity at last is given for the sending to the coast of unlimited supplies but the work that haa been Jone within the past few months, and revealed for the first time in the Ex aminer, has secured a considerable lot of defensive material already lor the coast and the Philippines. The plan was ao well worked out that there was no chance of leaving the coast defenseless for the benefit of the Phil ippines. The officers here who know the facts say that supplies were gotten to the coast to take the place of those sent to the Philippines, and tnat the process is a continuing one. The plans for this transfer and re-supply, It is un derstood, were formulated bv the war college at Newport. The members of the general board, of which Admiral Dewey Is the chair man, are now at Newport, so there ap pears to ue a close agreement and har mony between the work by the trans ports on th(e coast and the navy de partment.
