Wheat prices olosed to lower after an early break of about and a little rally on the last trades. . December prices were off to $1.05 H early. . but had a rally to $1.05 u or better on-some buying by brokers for the big lead. A number of bearish features were noted In the sit uation today. ' The first of these was the weak and flower market at Liverpool and the selling; pressure there was ex plained by offerings of new Laplatta wheat at three pence decline, denial of locust damage stories from Argentina and some heaviness- In continental mar kets. Northwest receipts were consid erable over last year. Kansas City In creased wheat receipts to 243 cars, and reported a heavy cash wheat situation. Primary receipts for the day and week look lower. Northwest' cars for the week were 6273, compared with 8568 , during; the -corresponding" week last year. The duii news consmiea oi mucn smaller Russian and Danubian ship ments for the week, an Odessa cable report unfavorable to the outlook for winter crop In Russia.

Mo Kee, for tnree years superintendent of the Oregon City schools, was arrested yesterday morning by Constable Mile In Portland, on - the charge of larceny by , bailee of $42.60. 'The former In structor was brought to Oregon City and appeared before Justice of the Peace Sampson and released upon the deposi tion-of $150 cash ball by Lr. , George Hoeye and W, J. Carson, the father-In law McKv .v.- ' ' u The perllminary examination la set fnr neirt T'uBailav, evAnlns- at -7- o'clock. but a the regular session of tte circuit court will -convene, next Monday and the grand Jury will be. Impaneled. While the charges on which McKee was arrested - were larceny' by bailee, it ' Is a known facp that he got: away with different sums of the high school funds. Contrary to the ordinary pro cedure In high school, the students-were never organised In Oregon City prior to this year, and for the three yeare McKee was in charge 'here,' he had absolute control ' of the financial affairs of all undertaking; of: the ' student body, and woujd "not sanction any thing that he was not placed at the head of the finan cial department And he never made any' reports of the standing. - Time and time again the students demanded these reports, but they never appeared. ' The full amount of hla embezzlement was never imagined, even by the most skeptic,, until the board of directors took the matter in hand' last fall and com menced investigations. There and then only did the people get an Insight as to the character of the man who had been In charge of the education of their children for the past two years. It was found that McKee bad ap propriated for his own use between $290 and $300 of the high ..school money, contracted large bills with the grocer, butcher and dentist, that ha did not pay, and borred, money from several sources that was not paid. The money collected for the subscrip tions arid advertisements of the Hes perian, the high school paper, were used for his own uses, as several of the stu dents of the high school claim, and now there is almost $100 due the printer for that publication. - The students have not been able this year to publish a umber because of the Indebtedness of last years numbers. At the first of the baseball season last spring, the high school boys soli cited from the business men, funds to purchase suits and outfits for the team. These funds were turned over to Mc Kee to be paid to the dealer, but at the close of tho season McKee suggested that the suits be sold to pay for them, and the boys did so, selling the outfit to the Gladstone team.' Some of tho students claim that McKee got away with about $10 of this sum also. During the annual Teacher's institute held In Oregon City last .year, County School Superintendent ary paid to Mc Kee $10 for the use of the high school piano, and this sum oisappeared as the rest did.. The students raised funds to pay for the piano, and it was found out this fall that nothing had been paid on the instrument and that It was only remaining at the school because of the leniency of the dealer. During last year $5 was raised among the students to be given the McLoughlln Memorial association, for use toward moving the old McLoughlin home and this found Its way into the same pocket that all the rest of ;tli missing money was placed. '' " A suit was started during the last year's school term against the super intendent by soma Portland firm for a note due, but McKee took the stand of an unjustly prosecuted man and the suit was quieted. Now there is a large suit ' pending In the circuit court for gro cery and other unpaid bills. He was arrested on the complaint of Dr. A. L. Beattle, who was one of a committee of three appointed by the board of directors to investigate the matter. The other members of this com mlttee are Attorney O. D. Eby and State Senator Joseph E. Hedges. When arrested yesterday McKee had little to say, but" wanted to know if he was' arrested on the '1lano deal." McKee cam to Oregon City from Eu gene, where he had been principal of the high school. He was at one time principal of the Lebanon public schools. He was in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish-American war, but did not hold a . government position, and was only on civilian duty. He was employed by the Portland Railway, " Light & Power oompany at one time ae streetcar conductor. 4RuryAct" Came Mayea to Tnno of $13 ClalnuMl to llo Portland ! , .
