Vtodayr Shrewd look on many fair

- at a recalcitrant puff, led to the belief
that something- sinister was , in the

' " Sentiment : about, the headquarters

but an undercurrent of local sear pre

No one would admit for publication
this morning who. Is in the lead for
the various minor offices to be filled.
"Tha election will be harmonious,', was
tha declaration generally, however, and
the Impression was given that what

sectional rather, than a matter of the

ton United 8tatea senator from Alaba
ma to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Johnson. Mr. Clay
ton is chairman of. the . house Judiciary
committee and has served his state in

There is some Question as to the au
thority of the governor to appoint a
aanator without ' direct instructions
from the legislature. Governor -O'Neal
would not call a special legislative ses
sion for that purpose, so Mr. Clayton
will retain his seat In the house until
the senate passes on his credentials.
Portland some months before. . Commis
sioner Daly also attacked the act on the
grounds that the legislature bad no bust,
ness to say what should be done with
the funds, controlled by the city.

1 Aberdeen, Wash., Aug. 13. Mystery
surrounds the action of a young Eng
lishman known as Charles Vines. Tines,
" 'although giving every evidence of re
finement and education of high order,
Immured himself for several months at
Markham, a mill hamlet five miles from
Aberdeen, and worked In a mill. He
had surrounded himself with a collec-
v tlon of valuable books and curios. His
taste for the. best there Is in life led
him to create e debt of $29 with a
storekeeper. When sued for the amount
Vines suddenly disappeared, leaving the
, books and twice the amount of cash for
which he had been sued. The books
were seised for his debts, which all told
were little more than the cash he left
In his shack. , Book lovers bought the
books dirt cheap and when the expenses
and debts were pald'there was con
verted Into the county treasury a sur
plus of about $25.
Vines Is thought to have feared for
some reason the publicity of the lawsuit.
Estrangement from his family Is an
other theory. : Be was $1 years old,
POLICE PENSION FUND
TO BE INVESTIGATED
City Attorney LaBoctae has been
asked to make a thorough investigation
of the polios pension and relief fund act
- as passed by the last legislature It Is
likely that a suit will be started la the
courts to determine its legality. The
act provides that a certain amount of
the fund shall be given by the city, but
when the Various appropriations -were
.made at the first of this year, no pro-
L visions were made for such a relief fund.
Commissioner 'Brewster said this
.,- morning that be does not see what right
the legislature had to pass an act whloh
