The body was given in harge of Coroner Finley. S, A. D. Puter, convicted in the'land- ' fraud cases and pardoned by the presi dent, believes that Horace McKlnley, who was recaptured In Manchuria sev eral days ago, will return to Portland n once wlthouUofferlng any resistance whatever. Furthermore, Puter says that McKlnley did not leave this country fearing that he was to be prosecuted by the government for connection with the land-fraud cases. . Puter is also of the opinion that the endeavor of the officials of the gov ernment to have McKlnley returned to receive sentence for which he was con victed In connection with the -land frauds, is a farce pure and simple. He says McKlnley's implications In the dealings was not sufficient to Justify the government bounding a man for two 1 years In an effort to bring him here to r'sret his." - ' i'Mao.

"When Mac. left the United States he had no idea that the government off! ciais ' were after . him.- I know . this to be a fact. It was entirely a different matter which caused him to take his de parture from the land of his birth and seex reruge among the wilds of the orl ental countries.- "I thinks Mm. made ,a mistake when he made his escape from the prison -at Afiuaaen, ir alt reports are true.

This year someone got even. , . He was a little man. His hat was conspicuous. It was tall. It had a auspicious dullness. He would hang around where the crowd was the thickest. He seemed fond or tne girls particularly those who wore nice, white gloves. " The fair ones located, the man would attract their attention. He had a horn almost as big as himself. And he blew It And then waited ftor some one to smash that hat of hls.X - And Invariably, they fiSashed. Tne nat smashed beautifully. When the girls Dulled their little dnllcata hands away their white gloves were sight. Then the vllllan would laugh. It was a low, course gurgle, Just like one hears on the stage. After having his laugh, he would dodge Into a doorway and straighten out his hat for other performance. It was a collapsible theatrical hat. and each time It was smashed the villain ous person would dust It all over with soot from a package that he carried in his pocket. Then he would start on his "toot" again. At last the soot was all gone. White and blackglnves were to be seen every where on the hands or the girls who felt devilish. A lot of them felt like rignnng.

In The Journal rooms desks were pried open and drawers rummaged. For gotten clippings and newspaper "Junk" that had lain in dark corners for months were disturbed' and thrown aside, no doubt with "ejaculations or disgust. But the burglars did overlook- a few things of value. Some stickpins and other small articles of value, being belated holiday presents.- were passed by in the search. Entrance was made throuah the transom of the telegrapn room in The Journal office and some boys who had been celebrating the advent of the New Year and left their surplus suppiy of horns In the office of the post card company about midnight, may have left the door unlocked. The. safe of the company was not tampered with, but the drawers of all the desks were gone through and it is possible that valuable souvenir cards-were taken. - SOLVE SERVANT IB PROBLEM Yakima- People Pay HigliairesforvDo. v ihestic Helpers.

Yakima, Wash., Jan.. 1. The business men of NjOrth, , Yakima and their wives are aolvjng the servant girl problem satisfactorily,- as far as this city Is Concerned. They are doing It by the simple process f higher wages While this ,may not? be as effective as the method advoratad hv a. a-nvrrnmant Official' lately, it appears to be all that is necessary in North Yakima to keen servantgirls employed. Domestics here are geum rrom IB , to $8 a week be sides their board and room, higher wages than the-average shop girl and even some Stenographers get. There is little call for domestic help crw mi mens wages, as mere are plenty of women to fill all positions open. Jap anese cooks are taking the places of women in many nomes, Dut the compe tition has not had the result of lower ing tne wages. In all lines of work In this city in which women are employed there I just now an oversupply of help. During the holiday trade many of them found work as clerks in the stores, hut nra again Idle. The wages of store clerks are rrom zt to 130 a month, which, without board and room. Is less than the average servant girl makes. 'If more of our girls and women Who are able to do domestic work only realized that they can make more money than by clerking In stores or working in offices there would be less dissatisfac tion among our servant girls," said a business man today. "High wages to the servant girls. I believe, will be as good a means as any in keeping them in the family. I now employ two serv ant girls, either one of whom Is maklne more money in. the long ma than my stenographer." NEW INDIAN SCHOOL HOSPITAL COMPLETED w (SpeeUl Dlipetcb to The Journal.) Chemawa, Or..

Pa., Jan. 1 Almost up to the' ears in a muddy ditch at Stpne House lane, near the Pennsylvania rail road, a horse, which was hurt when It ran away, was kept up physically by .liberal doses of whisky yesterday after noon until an agent or the Women's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty .to Animals hauled It out of the mud and sent It to a horse hospital.

FEW CASES FOR HEW GRAND JURY Removal of Bristol Will De lay Summoning of In quisitorial Body. The federal grand Jury for 1908 will probably be drawn some time in February-Should W. C. Bristol be removed as Lnited States district attorney within the next month It Is probable, however, that the Jurymen will not be called upon for duty until some time in March or lossibly later. The change in office of he milted States attorney will natural ly cause a delay in the proceedings of the cases which are now on hand await ing the action of the grand Jury. Four men and four boys are In tho county Jail to be taken berore the grand Jury., Another is out on bond, making nine in all. Those in jail have con fessed and the business of the Jurymen will be comparatively light compared with that of last year when 42 Indict ments were returned. Those awaiting a hearing before the federal grand Jury are Claud Horns berger, arrested at Sacramento, on a charge of using the United States mall to defraud: Charles Andernnn anri VreA Kuhn, arrested for counterfeiting; Frank Mcrnerson, ueorge Wilson, Fred John son and John Simpson, 17-year-old boy, held for robbing branch postoffiee No. 2; H. H. Higley, held on a charge of sending obscene matter throueh the mails, and George W. Bever. charged with using the malls to defraud. Bever is out on bond and is the only one of the nine who maintains that he is inno cent of the charge. In the case of the four boys it is quite probable that the government will recommend that they be sent .to some reform school. Several of them have expressed a willingness to learn aome trade If given the opportunity In sntwerin oientlon The "The Crisis" at Baker Theatre. The Baker Stock company's produc tion of Winston Churchill's famous play, "The Crisis," this week is one of the few theatrical events of the sea son that finds followers 'in almost every home in the city.
