SIRTS TRY TO

"Would Like to lUiy More

J" Wuwrinelon hules mutinous.
. Cheese Korkat About to Him.
I While some wholesale grocers. Jobbers
. e and commlnnton men. who are afraid to
" Uee their names. are talking of a lower
. cheese market, the tone locally whs
- never no tirm as lit this time. The
' trouble with the eheeso nituatton Is that
f the wholesale handlers do not hnvc suf-
' flelent supplies nn.l they Hie trying to
. J depress the market long enough to pet
stocks at loner prices, when they will
Instantly boost (imitations. Small sales
of lints' sro still being made at 14 c.
. although for larger lots the price In a
lmlf cei.t loner than that amount Cine
of the features of the cheese market at
; ; present Is the very scant holding at
" 1:Z Tillamook, while usually at this time
1 the supplies are rather liberal. Some
' of those who are trying to hold the
7' " local cheese market bnck say thev will
! buy their supplies In the east If prices
o lo a higher mark here, but it seems
J ! they are simply talking for the effect
t ' , of their conversation. Cheese cannot
! be laid down at Pacific coast points
, frnm ahhI within Xi c a llOlind Of
? 1 i the price ruling here and the trade of
J the Pacific coast knows full well tna
s . J better value of the Tillamook mnke,
The fact that California and Puget
Bound parties bought so heavily of
Tillamook makers a short time ngo
clearly shows that, in their Judgment.
the local cheese was better. Purine;
if . j the past few days some of their north
i . ? rn cities have been buying nulte lib
i rally here because of the very high
? price ruling, even at primary points
, Make of Cheese Decreasing.
li ' That the make of cheese is showing
i a decrease is alone proved bv thesmall-
t'f i er supplies of cream. While there is
' s no record here for the arrivals of cream
' : Bt Tillamook, the season there is much
J like here, so the Portland supplies are
Gallons.

Cream Supplies Are Smaller,
By the above tabl of arrivals It will
be shown that the big rush of cream to
'.i ' market has been over ror several weeks.
The mnke of cheese Is smaller. The
smaller arrivals of cream here affect
j the production of butter, but even with
the decreasing supplies the market is
i not In the best of shape, although rank
. rs express confidence In their ability
to maintain values until the market
rights itself and begins its regular fall
' "ascent.
Poultry Market Wot So Firm.
While the poultry market is quite
"" good and steady at printed values, the
tone is not quite so firm as during the
y ' early part of the week. Arrivals of
, r chickens are heavier and the larger re-
l tall buyers do not hurry so much to
' purchase This, to the trade, indicates
r' a slower and probably lower market to
come.
' Eggs are holding Just about the same.
Brief Notes of tho Trade.
- v Cantaloupes are expected to show
. " another advance the first of the week
owing to higher prices in the south.
Another small shipment of local "cants"
. arrived from The Dalles this morning.
Tomato market is in tine shape with
" ' eales ranging from U. to $1.50 a box.
v Dressed meats are Just steady.
' Arrivals of new potatoes are show-
. Ing no Increase and the market la hold-
lng at former values.
Peach market Is. mixed as to prices
'" t. and fieiirand. Crawfords from the south
are in best call, although some choice
Stuff if coming from Roseburg and
: other southern ( iregon points.
t Arrivals of new apples are heavier
and better quality is shown. Demand
" likewise improved.
Front street sells at the following
prices. Those paid shippers are less

On the Portland board of trade there
was active bidding for September wheat
and the close at 84o bid waa 4c a
bushel above yesterday. Even at this
advance no sellers appeared. For De
cember delivery an advance of 2o was
bid with no sellers.
September barley gained 2 Ho In the
hid price at the close, although the
opening waa 6c lower. December closed
unchanged at $1.12H Ter cental.
September oats gained 6c in the bid
with no sellers at $1.16 and December
advanced 2VjO with the same effect.
Paris wheat closed 15 to 25 centimes
higher and Antwerp unohanged. Liver
pool opened "Hid up and closed to
4d above yesterday. Ban Francisco
was excited with a good rise.
While there Is a disposition among
exporters to talk of nominal transac
tions in new wheat it is known posi
tively that more new wheat has already
been purchased for foreign account this
year than during any recent season U
this time. Exporters are keeping their
transactions under cover as much as
possible In fear of excltine1 arnwers.
Prices being paid for foretgn account
generally range around x.tc ana export
ers say they will be able to buy oil
the wheat they want at this figure.
However, some of the larger millers
continue to quote 84c for club.
A feature of interest in the present
wheat situation Is the sale of a cargo
of about 140.000 bushels of wheat by
Kerr-Glfford company for European ac
count. It is understood that tire sale
was of bluestem which will be used In
Italy for the making of macaroni.

Chicago, July 24. One of the most
Important factors In the wheat situation
developed yesterday, which might re
sult in a sensational bulge if it should
become general. This was the scat
tered reports that came from Minne
sota, South Dakota and North Dakota,
lalmlng that the winter wheat here
mil there in fields is poor. There are
spots scattered throughout the three
northwestern states and Canada where
the heads look perfect, but they have
not filled He they should as a result of
blight felt there during the recent hot
weather wave. People who had most
of these reports did not give them out
a general way, but there were Inti
mations from some of the best houses
in the northwest that something waa
bdng with the crop and they were in
clined to await further Investigation.

Detective Captain Baty leaves tonight
for Indianapolis to bring back Dr. J. H
Courtney, who Is charged here with
manslaughter In connection with the
death of Stella M. Bennett, aged 16
y ears.
Dr Courtney, who has been practicing
n a physician in Portland for a number
of years, loft the city July 14, six days
before tlni girl's death, to attend th
national convention or the Ancient Or
eei of Hibernians. He would have re
turned to Portland August 4 had not the
Hull. map. .u ponce been notified, by tel
(graph yesterday afternoon to arrest
him under the warrant Issued from the
municipal court of Portland.
John II. Btevermon. attorney for Dr
Courtney, tried for several hours today
to obtain his client's release under bond
deposited here. This was opposed by
tho district attorney's office, and Judge
Van Zante took the matter of ball under
advisement, saying that ae It Is an un
usual case he would be forced to look
up the law closely.
"I have known Dr. Courtney- for
years," said Judge Van Zante at noon
today, "hut if hn is not entitled to it
1 will not admit him to ball."
Takes Keqalsltlon Papers.
In the meantime Deputy District At
torimv Fitzgerald hail made arranire.
monts with Detective Captain Baty to go
to "Indianapolis tonight. The captain
will go fully armed with requisition pa
pers so that hn can bring lr. Courtney
westward even if the doctor changes his
rnlnd about coming to Portland wil
lingly.
At the time Dr. Courtney was put
under arrest by the Indianapolis police
he waa on his way to the depot to buy
a ticket for Chicago, his explanation
being that his special ticket read to
Chicago and return, and that es soon
as he reached Chicago he would have
taken the first train for Portland.
In evidence of this E. E. Montauue, ?7
East Fifteenth street, a brother-in-law
of Dr. Courtney, exhibits a telegram
dated at Indianapolis yesterday after
noon saying that the sender was about
to leave for home. Mr. Montague had
wired the doctor that a warrant hal
been Issued for his arrest and advising
him to return at once.
The district attorney's office will
press the charge against Dr. Courtney
to lh" fullest extent, and It Is doubt
ful if Louis Bowen. the 1-year-old
employ of the Wells, Fargo Exprens
company who is implicated In the esse.
will be shown any leniency. Bowen
faces a penalty of three to 20 years
in the penitentiary ror his offense.
Drop Case Against Bister.
Evidence brought out st the coroner
InuueHt yesterday showed that It Was
Lillian Bennett, aged 24. the older sis
ter of the dead girl, who had arranged
with Dr. Courtney for the operation,
but as she was Inspired by the most
natural motives and Is also needed as
an Important witness against the doc
tor. It Is not believed that any chargo
against her will be pressed.
She Is an extraordinarily beautiful
young woman, and the fact that when
In search of a doctor lo treat her sit
ter she applied for Information to Fred
Hamilton, nn acquaintance, now in Jail
for the robbery or three Jewelry stores,
lends an added feature to the case.
The funeral of Stella Bennett was
held yesterday afternoon at Lone Fir
cemetery. She had Just passed her
15th birthday at the time of her death
July 20.
Dr. Courtney's brother, a resident of
Baker City, Is expected to reach the
city this evening, and It Is supposed
the defense of the accused physician
will be largely conducted liy him.
It was discovered this morning that
tne rugitive rumi or tne city is too low
to pay from It the expenses of Captain
Baty to Indianapolis, and It was sug
gested that the friends of Dr. Courtney
put up the money to pav ror his return
to tho city to stand trial. This Mr.
Montague deollned to do. Ijter In the
day assurance was given by the district
attorney's office that the money for the
trip would be forthcoming before train
time tonight, the city advancing the
necessary sum.
The penalty for the offense charged
gainst Dr. Courtney Is Imprisonment
from one to 15 years and a fine not
exceeding $6,000.

"If ycru dont want to ret a ballet
through toot back drop this case
against Don Rooglln. He has lota of
money behind him and you can not con
vict him anyway."
such was the warning that a friend
of the young brute who has three times
escaped from the police gave Mrs. Lola
O. Baldwin of the Travelers' Aid so
ciety yesterday afternoon. The man,
whose name Mrs. Baldwin does not
make public, walked Into her office yes
terday afternoon and made hie startling
statement. Mrs. Baldwin said: "I was
not frightened although I was alone In
the room with the man and the doors
were shut I told him to pull out his
gun if he had one and shoot me on the
snot If he dared but I will never drop
the case against Hoaglln while I am In
my present position.
"He shall go to the penitentiary If It
Is In my power to put him there whether
he has a million dollars behind him or
not a cent. I do not doubt' that he or
his friends would stoop to murder me
or any or the witnesses against him.
but these threats will not have any In-
lluonce on me.
Hoaglln has two- heinous charge ly
ing against him. He was arrested once
last November and made his escape when
the warrants and bonds under which
ho was held by the police were stolen
by some friend of his. He was fi
nally caught again and placed In the
county jail when he again escaped pun
ishment He was allolred to go on an absurdly
small bond of $100 after his second
arrest two weeks ago, and has not
been recaptured. Ho was seen in New
berg, Or.. Sunday and tho police nere
were notified of tho fact. When a spe
cial officer was sent to Newberg Hoarr
lin had disappeared. It Is believed here
that he has friends who warn him of
every move on the part of the police
department to get him.

New York. July 24. Judge Peter S.
Grosscup, who read the decision revers
ing the $29,240,000 fine against the
Standard OH company of Indiana, was
asked today what he had to sav In con
nection with President Koosevelt's
statement that a weaker defendant
would have been punished. He said:
"If a good all-round lawyer, who had
studied, the case, had said that the
opinion would have been different In
the case of a weaker defendant, I might
have been disturbed somewhat, but the
comment, coming from the president
does not disturb me. That is all I
care to say at this time. I wish to
add nothing to the statement that I
am not provoked at the president s
statement."
Grosscup said lhat the intimation
that he was about to leave the bench
was news to him: that he had no in
tention of doing so.

channel of the river as the government
engineers will let him.
"After carefully looking Into the mat
ter I believe the mooring of a large
ship at the dock Just below Jefferson
street has changed the current along
the bank and made all the trouble,"
said Mr. Mlsche. "When we placed the
baths at the foot of Jefferson street we
thought the location an ideal one. For
several days after the baths were there
wo experienced no trouble. Since then,
however, the current has apparently been
changed and the baths are not desir
able at present.
"Tomorrow, however, the ship will
be changed from Its present moorings
and we will get the dredge in behind
the baths and place them nearer the
channel. I shall also start out tomor
row and see what can be done about
locating the hatha on the east side of
the river, although I am of the opinion
that the sewers thero would be more
objectionable as there Is practically no
current."
Health Officer Esther C. Pohl said
that she had visited the baths yester
day and didn't think them fit for use In
their present location. The Jefferson
street sewer is bad and empties very
near the baths. Dr. Pohl said in her
opinion the baths had better be closed
entirely than run witn water sucn as is
now being used.
