" He Is a eon of the late Judge n. P.
JBoIbj of Salem, who was one of the
old-time Justices of the supreme bench
fjl and twice honored with the chief Jus-
ttceship. Judge Boise was elected to
Jthe circuit bench after his retirement
from the supreme bench, and served
with honor to himself and the court
2 until his death about a year ago.
, Whitnev Boise was chairman of the
"Tiepuhlican coitntr central committe of
t" Multnomah county years ago. He was
i later elected chairman of the state cen-
tral committee and directed the cam
r palrn resulting in the election of Ma
S rolm Moody to congress. Later than

th Muitnomah county committee and
jr held that position In June, 1904, at the
J? time when The Journal exposed the
5- election frauds being attempted by
ft" in-aiis of swearing In illepal voters.
?C Mr. Boise was Indicted by the United
J States ftrand jury In the district court
December S. 1893, charged with having
fc' conspired to smuusrle Chinamen Into trie

alleged offense was fixed in the in

accused of having conspired with James

Twin brothers were arrested last
evctiinj; charged with a M range com
plication of offenses. They were Har
rison C. jriller and Byron Miller, aged
22 years.
For the past year the young men,
w hose appearance is one of entire in
nocence, have been In the city quietly
playing odd games without the suspi
cion or the police being turned in their
direction. Fraternizing with Ureeks, It
was their habit to rob one of this na
tionality while in their room under com
promising circumstances. The victim
could say nothing, but sufficient evi
dence has been gathered to warrant the
detectives in laying a statutory charge
against them as well as one of vag
rancy which will be probably changed
to larceny.
They disposed of their booty through
Jacob Iladad. it seems, and Hadad, a
Syrian, was also locked up by Detec
tives Heliyer and Maloney last night.
The Miller twins, who greatly resem
ble one' uiuthei, would undoubtedly
have continued their practices indefi
nitely had they not thoughtlessly tak
en so small a thing as a silk hand
kerchief the other day. The question

to . police headquarters led to a con-
lession or more serious crimes,
also admitted being Implicated

CA KM EX'S PICNIC
NEXT THURSDAY
Portland street car operatives
will give their annual picnic
Thursday afternoon, July 23,
and the event promises to be
the largest of its kind In tho
history of the organization. The
picnic has been widely and per
sistently advertised and a large
number of tickets have been
sold. The program will Include
an address by Rev. J. Whit
comb lirougher on "Live Wires;"
a talk on some popular subjecf
to be selected by Rev. C. T. Wil
son, and vocal solos by Fred
Butler. Other special features
will add Interest to the proceedings.
Mentally deranged, MIlo A. Bowktr,
96 years of age, hung himself from a
rafter in the bnsement of his son-in-
law's house, Ous C. Morris, assistant
superintendent of the Southern 1'ticltlc,
:".i4 East Klrt north, yesterday after
noon. It was his daughter. mnkliiK her way
Into the cool basement, who found the
bodv of her father swinging from the
beam above. This was ut 4 01 lock, and
as Mr. Ilowkiir was nnsseti anoui j
o'clock it Is evident thnt he bail been
dead about an hour when the body wus
found.
Mr. Bowker had complained fre
nneritlT of tha heat Friday nnd Satur
day, saying that his head pained him
extreme) v. He had always been an
active man, and up to the last hour was
Interested In the ftarden at his daugh
ters pleasant home. He had never be
fore exhibited nnv suicidal I nil Ilia t Ian,
and it is believed by J. J. Dunning, dep-1
uty coroner, who nt tiuee made an in
vestigation, that the heat of the day
deranged the old gentleman's mind tem
porarily and h sought relief forever in
the cool air of the basement.
Stepping upon two blocks of wood,
Mr lfowksr had fastened the other end
of his noosed rope to a nail in the
rafter. Then, stepping off the block, he
found the rest he wanted.
Mr. Bowker was a widower and was
born In Vermont-
GUILTY OF THEFTS
Coveting the goods they were to sell.
John Kunyon and Caroline, his wile.
each night took home several knives or
some other article which in the ordi
nary course of events would have stayed
In one of the Oaks concession booths
until well-tossed rings dropped over
them and they went away as a souvenir
of the amusement park.
When Detectives Deliver and Maloney
arrested the voung couple they at flist
stoutly denied having helped themselves
to stock of the ring-tossing booth. But
the detectives had taken the liberty of
visiting their room before they went to
Tho Oaks, and one look In tho Runyon
family trunk had been sufficient to war- ;
rant the arrest.
Finally both Runyon and his wife,
who is a slender girl, only l'J years old,
broke down under tho weight of con
stant questioning and confessed to tha
thefts. Among the plunder found in
their room were 'several cheap gold
watches, gaudy glassware nnd a gener
al collection of concession articles. They
worn working for Fritz fe Russell, who,
unable to explain the continued short
ages in the Runyon booth finally laid
the matter before the police.
Mr. end Mrs. Runyon, the first mar
ried pair to ho both Implicated in a
robbery case for a long time, will appear
in the municipal court Monday.

The cherry fair which closed today
was a sijrressful event such as no other
city outside of Oreron could hold. Wore
than 1700 In awards were given away.
The fact that the Waeco exhibit lost
