CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. General Resuma of Important Eventa Presented in Condensed Form for Our Busy Reader*. Food prices are soaring and pros pects for the winter are gloomy. More American warships have been ordered to the scenes of disorder in China. Deposits in the Portland Postal Sav ings bank were $5.451 for the first day and $6.719 the second. Machinists call the threatened strike on the Illinois Central unfair, and a walkout is avoided temporarily. The law of the state of Washington providing for women serving on juries has been declared unconstitutional. A severe electric storm, accom panied by a tidal wave, did much dam age along the waterfront in Chicago. The state election in Maine gave a majority of 914 for the repeal of the prohibition clause of the state consti tution. A San Francisco fireman, noted for long leaps and ladder-scaling, fractur ed his skull by a fall from a three-foot fence, and will probably die. Students were so anxious to secure places in the training school at Los Angeles that many took places in line and remained all night proceeding the opening of the schools. Robert G. Fowler made the first stage of his aeroplane journey across the continent in 2 hours and 41 min utes, covering 126 miles from San Francisco to Auburn, Cal. New York police are baffled by an epidemic of bomb outrages. The mayor of Tacoma finds that nearly every baker in that city is sell ing short weight loaves. Fall fashions for Parisian women will include long skirts, to conceal what they consider their one defect in appearance—large feet. Colonel Roosevelt severely criticizes the pending peace treaty, declaring there will arise disputes which cannot be settled by arbitration. Many Chinese refuse to pay their taxes and serious disorders are feared. Robbers killed a mine-owner and his driver in Pennsylvania, but did not take the box containing $2,800 which was being taken to pay off the miners. BIGGEST SWINDLER CAUGHT. Secret Service Men Nab Seller of Bogus Mining Stock. Chicago Charged merely with us ing the mails to defraud, but accused of selling countless "salted” mines to credulous foreigners and garnering the hard cash of farmer* in Wisconsin and other states in exchange for “green goods.” S. A. Potter, described by government »ecret service men as the cleverest swindler in the world, wgs arrested here. The arrest was made by C. F. De woody, department super intendent of the secret service branch of the department of justice. Potter is said to have made his headquarters in Chicago for months and to have cleared more than $1,500,- 000 during the past two years through illicit enterprises. Two men are said to be implicated with Potter, and Superintendent De- woody laid traps to capture them, but they were wary and eluded arrest. He expects to have them in custody within a few days. The arrest of Potter is the culmina tion of months of work on the part of secret service men. Potter is a prize they have been seeking zealously. It is said that a year ago they had Potter, together with Edward Stark- loff. in custody in ti-e United States court of Philadelphia, but that they forfeited bonds of $23.000 and e*- caped. Potter offered to furnish bonds in the sum of $50.000, but the author ities declared that he must supply $150,000. He could not raise the money and was sent to jail. FOOD TOPIC PARAMOUNT. Consumer* and Cattleraiter* Confer in Texas Over High Price*. Fort Worth. Tex. Consumer and producer met on common ground here Wednesday to wage war against high living prices. In the conference were representatives from Texas labor un ions and farmers’ organizations, boards of trade and the Cattleraisers' association of Texas. One plan discussed contemplates the establishment of a state cattle selling agency; another includes the organ ization of an association from bodies of consumers and producers to operate an independent packing plant. Estab lishment of municipal slaughter houses will be indorsed. President Lasiter, of the Texas Cat tleraisers' association, presided. He said that while the cost of production to cattleraisers had been the same for the last season, the packers took the beef off the markets at from $1.50 to $2 a hundred less than in the preceding season, with mutton selling at a pro portionate discount. This, he declared, had resulted in a loss to the cattlemen of from $12 to $15 a head, and a total loss of a $100,000,000 to the industry. The woman mayor of Hunnewell. FOWLER TAKES A TUMBLE.
