While not as enthusiasts over the

pressed confidence In the outlook, say
Jng:
There Is no cause for alarm; the
country for months has been discount

Robert D. Inman, who has been con
fined to bis bed by Illness for the past
ten days, sent word from his horns tbat
the success of Wilson and his confi
dence In the strength and profit to the
nation of his administration had almost
made him well.
Adolph Wolfe, head of the firm of
Llpman, Wolfe A Co., assigned two
reasons in chief for the nation's great
vots for Wilson. "First," said he, "it
resulted from Roosevelt's entry Into the
field. Second," from the misrepresenta
tions of Taft and the influence of a
mysterious source that continuously told
not what Teft had done, but what he
had not done. Mr. Taft, In my opinion-,
is an huneHt and gocxl mun. And then,

IS UNDER ARREST
$5000 Demanded of J. Wesley
Ladd; Decoy Package De
livered to Hotel Where the
Sheriff Captures Suspect."
Less than 14 hours after he had for
warded a Utter threatening destruction
to the West Tark street home of J.
Wesley Ladd. assistant cashier of the
Ladd & TUton bank,' unless 15000 was
sent him by the banker, a titan who
says his name Is Jos Myers had been
arrested and confessed that he had
written the Utters.
Myers, who also has used the aliases
Archie ' Hamilton and Roy Holllngs
worth in Portland, was arrested by
Sheriff Stevens and Deputy Sheriff
rchle Leonard last night as he emerged
from a room In the Bt. Charles hotel.
Front and Morrison streets, bearing in
his hand a package which Mr, Ladd
had sent him by messenger and which
was supposed to contain 35000 In $20
aid $5u bills. In reality, the package
was made up of slips of stiff brown
wrapping paper. Myers is booked for
extortion, under his alias Hamilton. His
ball was placed at $10,000.
Little Is known concerning Myers,
who consistently maintains sllenoe in
regard to himself.
In his pockets was found $19 In
money, a purse and papers bearing the
nama"Charle til. JJggera," and sv bunch
of . awltchman'a , koys.. Myers .sal4 ha
tuuna me purse ana papers ana says ne
cams into possession of the keys at
Vancouver. Wash., a few days ago, when
he took them from a friendly brake
man employed by the Portland, Spokane
ft Seattle railroad, "as a merry Jest,"
and "forgot" to return them.
Myers confessed to the nolle that he
had selected Mr. Ladd as his victim
after six well known cltlsens had been
considered as likely victims. Those con
sidered, he said, were ft, L. Barnes of
the United States National bank; A. L.
Mills and Harry Corbett of thf First
National: and Dr. Andrew O. BntAh. Mr.
Ladd was chosen, he said, because ha
understood Ladd had the most money,"
' Myers insists another man, a "Joe
Kelly," originated the scheme, and that
ICellr nad agreed -to-gtvr hira -$500 -of
the $5000 for writing the letters and se
curing the money. No credence is placed
In this asssrtlon by the officers, who
declare "Kelly" Is a mythical personage.
Myers took clever precautions to
shield himself from arrest and Identifi
cation. Tuesday night while Mr. and
Mrs, Ladd wars at the theatre, he called
a messenger and met the boy by ap
pointment in an alley near the St
Charles, where he was registered at the
time as Roy Holllngsworth. In the
deew shadows of the alley the boy was
unable to discern Myers', features. He
gave the messenger a letter addressed
to Mr. Ladd at his home, $43 West Park
street, which waa delivered at 8 o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Ladd returned home
shortly before' iftldnlfhtf and Mrs. Ladd
opened the missive. It read:
"Tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock a
man will calL You 111 pleas hand
him a sealed package containing $5000
In United States currency, 20 and 60s.
A refusal or false move will cause the
destruction of your horn. We mean
business, "ENEMT."
She Immediately called Mr. Ladd, who
In turn telephoned to Sheriff Stevens
and asked him to com to th house at
onoe. "" ' " ;
Yesterday morning th messenger boy
who delivered th letter waa found, but
h could' throw no light on th matter
and preparations wore mad to appre
hend th would-b extortionist In ; th

darkness fell and an automobile stood
ready for Instant us within a hundred
feet of th dooryard. A woman detec
tive replaced the regular maid and th
ahrif f and Deputy Leonard waited In
th library, Promptly on th strok
of 7 a messenger called. He was ush
ered Into th library where th offloera
searched htm and found a letter which
Meyer had addressed to "Archie Ham
ilton, room SIS St. Charles hotel." This
waa opsned and found to contain blank
paper. It waa carefully reseated and
returned to th boy. Another letter
addressed to " Mr." Ladd demanded th
money;
Stevens and Leonard then hurried to
th hotel and Leonard oonoealed himself
in a room adjoining 11$. - Steven
guarded th hotel exits.
Suspect Xa Captured.
Shortly afterward the boy returned
to th hotel and delivered th fake let
ter at th clerk' desk and then took
Mr. Ladd'a packag of wast paper to
Meyers' room. Meanwhil Meyers
watched from th lobby of th hotel.
Seeing that the delivery of the letter
had created no commotion, a he char,
acterlsed it later, he went to hi room,
secured th packag and waa just start
ing down th hallway when Leonard
stepped out and slipped th handcuffs
over th man' wrists.
Meyers was taken, immediately to th
