LOCATORS FIND EASniCTlS Persons Eager to Secure Grant Lands Duped by Swindlers. Efforts are being made by soma "pro feBalonal" land locators and lawyera to get unsuspecting people to pay amounts ranging aa high aa 8800 for pretending to locate them on Oregon & California lands, which had been aold prevloualy to other persons. Tha victims are led to believe that by Investing a few hundred dollars they1 can make appnoation ror a claim ror which they will receive aeveral thou sand dollars as soon as the final proof is made. Qne Instance of the results which flow from the schema came to llarht a few days ago. A man living on the east side was lured into listening to the siren song of a "professional" locator. The fee for locating was 8300. Half the money was paid down. The locator and his victim went to Roseburg, where a tramp of several boura took.' them to the claim elected. The locator left and the squatter proceeded to secure an eligible location to - make his Improvements. A cabin waa built. Later, in making a further investigating tour over the claim, what Was his astonishment to find that away ItaJone corner he came to a clearing of favAit 20 acres with substantial improve ments, Tha owner asked the locators victim what he was doing there. He replied that ha had paid 8150 down and was to pay tha other 8160 as aoon as ha proved up. Shotgun Was Waiting. The owner of the land stated he had a loaded double-barreled shotgun In the house, the contents of which he would empty into the first man who attempted to put his foot on the claim, and or dered him off. There' was nothing to do but return to Portland, leaving his cabin to tha man who owned tha land. and attempt to reoover the money he had been -swindled out of.

Pennsburg, Pa., March 28. Just to decide who should be at once tta organ lat and choirmaster, woman's suffrage waa allowed for the first time in the 200 years of the existence of St. Paul's Lutheran church. In this dace, and both sexes in the congregation, after long electioneering, were- today permitted to vote on the respective merits of the two rival candidates, who engaged In a musical content before them. Not long ago Oscar F. lierndt died, having held the position for a quarter 01 a century, and a pair or musicians wanted to succeed him. One was John M. Pflleger of Red Hill, and the other was Harold A. Laros of Coopersburg. Mr. Pflleger used to play the organ in St. Paul's Lutheran church at Norrls town, was a member of the local church council and had a strong personal fol lowing, but Mr. Laroa, though a strang er, was young and handsome and popu lar, and th women demanded tha right of a voice In the decision. After a special meeting of the author ities the feminine request was granted, but it was decided that the candidates should give an example of their respec tive fitness. Accordingly, before an overflowing audience on last Sun day the services resolved themselves into a musical tournagient, each contes tant playing the organ for a part of the services, and each singing two selec tions. Then the Rev. O. FV Waage, tha pastor, delivered an address In Penn sylvania German, cautioning the congre gation againat disorder, and tellers took up tha ballots. Mr. Laros waa elected by a vote of 878 to 87. BILL NYE'S WIDOW COULDN'T BE FOUND (Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.)

Evidence of tha threatened revolt was manifested today when friends Of Cdl onel Hepburn began canvassing for votea to recall from tha house Judiciary committee bill carrying amendments to i the Shurman anti-trust law.
