By "Bunny."
. : Adieu! This is positively my last
appearance as the redoubtable
' "Bunny," familiar with the haunts
" and jaunts of the man of mystery.
Monday bads I go Into the dim
desuetude of a newspaper beat, far
' Temoved even from the glimmer of
reflected fame. 1
The game in. Portland has come
to a brilliant end. When 6 o'clock
came last night all rewards were
withdrawn the man with the money
having tot been captured during the
afternoon. He gave every one the
best chance In the world, but none
was smooth enough or "daring
enough to snatch tip the reward.
Long before the doors at the Grand
theatre, where Raffles was supposed
; to unmask, were opened for the first
performance last night, a great crowd
was surging in the entrance. When the
first performance began all seats were
' taken in the theatre and many were
nnmnelled to stand In the rear.
, M. B. Davis, manager for the man of
v mvstery, first appeared on me stage.
He gave a brief speech, emphatically
denouncing the newspapers who vainly
attempted to discredit the game and
daring any of the writers to meet htm
Xace to face with such assertions.
Great Success In Portland.
He explained, however, that the stunt
had proved more popular in Portland
than In anv city for the past two years.
J and attributed this condition in some
extent to the advertising offered by
kindly contemporaries. After explain
ing briefly how Raffles worked and
, telling of his three rooms In the Caiu-
met hotel, one In the Elwood hotel and
. one in the Oregon hotel, he announced
the appearance of the mysterious one.
Applause frequently Interrupted his
speeches at both performances.
The stage was darkened and a drop
raised, revealing an extraordinary hand
some woman, rather tall, perhaps, but
rpwned in a shimmering gown of white,
with a dainty, attractive hat set on top
of a mass of blond, carefully arranged
hair. Raffles as a woman was striking
ly handsome, with a face and figure
capable of attracting attention any
where. Audience Applauds.
As soon as the audiences at both per
- - f onntmw recovered from their stjr
ipriee, they broke out in salvos of ap
plause. , Many doubted that the- hand
somely gowned feminine figure on the
-stage was Harries.-" However.' their sus
picions were soon dissipated, for Raf
fles removed the hat and wig and there
stood revealed. The transformation
brought forth prolonged cheers and
handclapplng.
Raffles disappeared, and following a
nrtef talk by Mr. Davis, appeared again
as himself. He was identified by A. U
Fish, business manager of The Journal,
and others as the original Mr. Raffles.
When the curtain went down at both
performances the audiences cheered
Wildly.
The transformation of the man of
mystery entirely convinced the majority
of the onlookers that Raffles was per
fectly capable of going disguised about
the streets for nearly two weeks with
out molestation.

Washington. May 29. In discussln
whether or not the communication from
the Gtrman government regarding the
tariff, transmitted to the rinance com
mittee by the state department, should
bo accepted as accurate testimony,
Senator Depew of New York, todrfy de
clared that the document was an evi
dence, of an attempt on the part of
Uermany to influence tne senate oc tne
United' States.
The reDort from the German govern
ment which aroused tne discussion con
lalneri manv anonvmoua statements.
Denew ridiculed the spectacle of tho
wenate of the United States, supposedly
constructing a tariff to meet require
ments and necessities affecting do

government entering through a senate
committee to assist or obstruct the
"If Germany were preparing a tariff

to President Tart to sena statements

having a bearing on the legislation, it
would lead to consequences more seri
ous than any International dirncuity
that has ever arisen between the United
States and an Euro Dean power.
Depew then referred to the evident
eirort or unanceuor von tsueiow to in

into a discussion of a tax on razors.

Depew's arraignment of the German

BELIEVED THAT COLE
DRANK CARBOLIC ACID
Vancouver, Wash.. May 29. That
George W. Cole deliberately planned to '
take his own life Is trfalnlv shown bv
details of the finding of his body by
Sheriff Sapplngton and a party of citi
zens yesterday forenoon, a brief account
of which was published In The Journal
yesterday.
The searching party was composed of
Sheriff Sapplngton, T. L. Simmons, who
was suing Cole for J2200, George Allen,
Charles Babb, Clarence Dixon, H. B.
Randall and H. Howard. Leaving the
general store of P. Young at Ellsworth
the party followed the course that Cole
was seen to take Wednesday evening
when he was last seen alive. About 200
yards from the store, a short distance
from the railway track in some bushes
lay the body, face down. The dead man's
hat lay on a log near by. evidently
placed there with care. Sheriff Sap
plngton Is Inclined to believe that Cole
drank carbolic acid while walking along
the toad before reaching the timber,
throwing the bottle away. As his i
clothes were not soiled he must have '
lain down on the ground, stretched out
his limbs and waited for death. The
ground does not show that he made any
strugR-ltf. In his pockets was found $40
in cosh and a note for f 100, besides oth
er personal effects.
The body was brought by Coroner
Knapp to his chapel here, and later re
moved to the Vancouver undertaking
chapel.
Cole was native of this county, and
was widely known in this section. He
was 4 7 years old. His wife, mother and
two brothers survive him. He was a
past grand master of Vancouver lodge
