Police Stispicious of Motlres That Bring

Passes Along the Street Makes Good
His Disappearance Again. ' i
Kxposcd as a fakir, and after sneak
ing away from the city on a "tie pass','
like a whipped cur, Norman Davenport,
the imposter and alleged victim of high
waymen, has the nerve to return to Sa
lem and walk the streets in broad day
light. Davenport was here yesterday
but he managed to avoid meeting the
few acquaintances who might recog
nize him, with the exception of Dr. F.
E. Smith, who met the fakir face to
fare even though the latter tried hard
to hide his identity. The meeting oc
curred on -Commercial street in front
of the Burghardt .book store at 1
o'clock yeaterday afternoon. Daven
port was standing upon the sidewalk
holding a conversation with two strange
men and noticing the approach of Dr.
Smith he turned his back in hopes that
the doctor might pass by without see
ing him. Dr. Smith, however, recog
nized the "paralyzed' man on sight
and as he approached, addressed him
with a '"how-do-you-do." Davenport
ttill tried to hide his identity but
when the doctor addressed him the sec
ond time he turned and between a grin
and a lauyh, remarked " Well, how are
yuf" Dr. Smith did not atop to talk
to the inipoHter but hastened to his of
fiVc in the Drey man block and telephon
ed the information to the police, lie
then stopped to the window to watch
Davenport but the man with bis com
panions had suddenly disappeared.
Davenport Hides.
Officer J. W. Lewis immediately up
on receiving the telephone message from
lr. Smith, went out ' in search of the
mu of "jiu jitsu" fame, but although
every nook and corner wag visited no
trace of the fakir could be found. It
in j, resumed that Davenport finding that
he was recognized decided it might be
best for him to go into hiding, for the
time being, at least, fenring that some
criminal charge might be perferred
againftt hinK Tn this he nsed good
-judgment for had the officers found him
be wcubl have been promptly, taken in
probably on a chargp of vagrancy.
Sheriff Culver was also notified of the
fakir's presence in the city and made
an unsuccessful effort to locate him. 1
Officers Are Worried.
The return of Norman Davenport to
Salem Within two days after being
practically driven from the city is
causing a great deal of uneasiness to
the minds of the police and members
of the heriff's force. His action is re
garded with much snptcion and every
efT rt possible will be made to locate
hiii, and if possible, lan J him behind
'the bais, even if for a i.nnor offense.
.There is also more or less speculation
among the officers as to the identity of
the two men in wh. e company Daven
port was seen yesterday. During the
time the impostor feigned paralysis. at
the Salem hospital, local detectives,
who regarded lus condition and his
story of the holdup with a degree of
suspicion , worked on the theory that
Davenport was not alone in the game,
but that he had confederates who were
keeping in the background and who
would, make their appearance at the
proper time. This theory was strength
ened yesterday anu it is believed the
two strangers were members of Daven
port's gang and the officers will keep
a sharp lookout for them. '
It is now thought that the fakir re
turned to Salem on Tuesday night, hav
ing none to the fair grounds, where
he waited until dark before coming
back. That he was here yesterday Dr.
F. K. Smith is positive. life saw the
man every day during his stay at the
Sa'em hospital and became quite well
acquainted with him, so he could not
have been mistaken ia his identity. ,

contains no applications for divorce.
it is asserted by the "dry" element
that this-absence of family discord ia
Denton county is doe entirelv to th
beneficial influences of prohibition. The
head of the family can no loncrer loaf
around the whisky shops and squander
his wages, but instead remains at home
and gets acquainted with his family,
witk the result that discord is rele
gated to "wet" districts. This is the
dry" claim. The sheriff of Benton

The subject was also much commented
upon in the lobbies of the Bouse of

"Busnia'V eclipse is Germany 's op

the gcreral idea prevalent on the sub

France, wishes rather to emphasize
the diminshed value of a Russian alii
ance and thereby to persuade France of
the advisability of rcapproachment
with Germany. At trie same time those
least inclined to cavil at the German
emperor's action admit it is calculated
to stiffen the sultan's resistance to the
French policy in Morocco and so re

in the Anglo-French agreement.
Other papers are inclined to doubt

It would be unprecedented that no in

"What indemnity will be demanded
I cannot say, but my private opinion
is that at least it should cover the
expenses of the war. If Russia as
sumes that a continuance of the war

it will be another mistake on her part.
"If Kussia is prepared for a test

NEW YORK, March 30. (SWial to
the Statesman.) It has been repeatedly
pointed out in these advices that re
duction of the bank reserves to the
point of exhaustion would be the signal
for a reaction in the stock market. Such
has proved the case. The next blow was
the unsatisfactory character of the
United States steel ennual report. Li
quidation began last week, and has con
tinned with increasing force almost
laily. The chief cause for reaction
was simply, that values were on a pin
nacle. Genuine buyers could not be
found at the recent high level. Many
stocks had advanced 25 to 100 points
within the last twelve months, being
far and away beyond all improvement
in intrinsic , conditions. Transactions
were confined to professional traders,
and the market was fairly bulled to a
standstill. Prospects were that the mar
ket, would settle into a stagnant condi
tion all summer, or at least until new
buyers would infuse fresh life into the
market. The expected iras happened.
Some of the big holders withdrew their
support, permitting prices to find a more
natural level. The decline was acceler
ated by selling of weakly margined ac
counts. The market was more sensi
tive than it has been to unravorsnie
news, and the Venezuelan nd San uo-
minco incidents, as well as fears ot
trouble in Paris in esse of a deelineia
Russian bonds, were used to, intensify
the weakness. The most legitimate
cansA for the decline was the low con
dition' of the bank reserves aad the in
terior demsBtls for money incidental to
April settlements; which may cause two
or three bal dbk statements. -

ntil this is over and liquidation has

Sharp spasmodic recoveries may be an
ticipated at any time, eapecxuy n
shares oversold. '
Outside of the stock market condi
tions are generally favorable. : lne
business situation in most respects and
ia most sections is. satisfactory, jbvery-
thing points to a go spring trade and Morskaia street thia afternoon. All

tions m raw materials are reported ia

try is rapidly recovering from the set

One of the signs of the times is the
more favorable attitude of foreigners
toward American railroad snares. Lon
don having- recovered from the Boer
war, i in better spirits and shows a
ranch' kindlier feeliag toward American
securities than for many years; so do
Amsterdam and Benin. Lven French
investors are buying oar railroad bonds
to some extent and this change in the
current of opinion is likely toNgrow if
conditions here continue as Jhey are.
The war between Russia -and Japan is
still the controlling factor in the for
eign markets, hence its influence here.
Russia seems almost hopelessly crip
pled and, however nn willing she may
be to accept defeat, must soon make
peace with victorious Japan. Russia
may refuse for a few months longer
but the outcome is inevitable. After
wards Asiatic commerce will develop
wonderfully. Russian bonds have shown
no decline whatever commensurate with
Russian reverses because of the extra
ordinary efforts of French bankers to
sustain Russian credit. Thus far they
have succeeded admirably; but should
a eri.ns come it would shake the money
markets of the world, including New
York. No doubt the money power
power abroad is strongly enlisted on
the aide of peace.

MILLS BURNED
FIRE COMPLETELY DESTROYS AL
BANY WOOLEN INDUSTRY,
CAUSING LOSS $50,000.
Flames Originated in Dryer and Are
Carried by Driving Belt to Upper
Floors in an Instant Empoyes Bare
ly Have Time to Escape.
ALBANY, Or., March 29. The Al
bany woolen mills were completely
ruined by fire ibis morning. The plant
is a total wreck, anf the loss will
reach at Jeast $50,OOU. The plant was
owned by the Bannoekburn Company
of Portland, which made final payment
and secured 'complete ownership pf the
property only six weeks ago. J Some
Albany capiial was alsu invested in
the company. . , -
The main' building of the mill, a
large brick structure, is standing, but
is completely gutted, while the walls
are almost tumbling. The floors and
roof have fallen in, and the structure
is worthless. All the smaller buildings
except the engine room were destroyed
All the machinery and equipment ex
cept engine and boiler is ruined. There
was very little manufactured goods in
the mill and 'the loss in this is nomin
al, but considerable raw material was
destroyed.
J-'ire broke out in the wool dryer in
the lower' drying room at 8 o'clock
and spread over the lower part of the
mill almost in an instant. The drive
belt carried the flames to the upper
floors, ami so rapidly did the lire
spread that I he' employes hardly had
lime to get out of the) building. The
same rapidity gave-The firemen no
chance to save the plant, and only fa
vorable wind conditions, saved the big
warehouse of the Abany Farmers'
Company and the Red Crown Mills,
owned by the Portland Flouring Mills
Company.. The wind was blowing di
rectly toward the river, and had it
shifted either way one of these struc
tures would have burned.
How the fire started in the dryer is
not known, but it is supjosedL to have
leen caused by chemical action of some
kind. The room was filleu with com
bustible material, nf'e- ',e flames
spread over the lower j floor, in an in
stant.. This is the third fire that has started
in the word .ryer in the last two years.
The two former opes wor"' extin
guished with little damage. The mills
were built in 158. The .plant is now
valued at $.0,0OO. It is. almost a total
loss, and the loss ot manufacturing
supplies will bring the bws by the fire
up to at leant t.")o,0hl. The mill was
one of Albany's leading industries, and
the loss is a severe otoe to this city.

Carelessness of River Pilot Drives

LINCOLN, March 28. Because of
the carelessness of a river pilot, Miss
Jennie Coyle, of Salem, and Miss Tes
sioj Bixby, of Newberg, came near to
sustaining severe injuries, if not being
killed, here today.
Those two ladies, were waiting on
the dock at the river for the arrival of
the Newberg boat, as the steamer Al
tona was leing put .alongside prepara
tory to taking on board her passengers
from Newberg. The boat was most
carelessly handled ;by the pilot in
charge, with the' result that its' prow
piled back onto the dock, smashing it
to kindling wood and damaging the
boat.
Miss Coyle and Miss ' Bixby were
thrown to toe ground, and only escaped
being thrown into the later, or suf
fering a worse fatei by being dragged
off the demolished pier, by bystanders.
As it was, they were considerably
shaken up and sustained a severe ner

standing at the bow of the boat, sus
tained slight "injuries from flying splin

"DIRTY" PICKING
OREGON GROWERS ARE WARNED
AGAINST CARELESSNESS IN
HARVEST OF HOPS.
Complaints Being Received From All
Quarters - on Account of Bad Picking
Last Year and Repetition May Cost
Oregon Hops Their Good Reputation.
Unless the hop growers are more
careful in the future with their meth
ods of harvesting their bop crops there
is grave danger of Oregon9 losing her
well earnod reputation of producing
the best quality of hops in tho world
and the growers themselves will suffer
the most in consequence. Considerable
complaint is being received from the
brewers in the' East and in Englanu"
on account of ? dirty" hops from Ore
gon. The) "dirt" complained of, as
all growers know, consists of leaves,
stems and other debris which become
mixed with the hops unless very care
fully and cleanly picked. , The hops
were picked -more carelessly last season
than usual', probably because there was
an apparent shortage and it was
thought tljiat "anything would go,"
and no little complaint has been heard
on account of it. The latest protest
upon this score has been received by
Jack Carmiiehael of this city, from the
firm of F. W. Siraonds & Son of 'New
York., The letter says:
"We have received bitter, complaints
in regard to the way tho growers
ieked their hops last year, and certain
y, these complaints were justiliod. We
have never in all our experience known
the Oregon crop to have been so care
lessly handled in this respect, and un
less growers in the future pay more
attention Co tne handling of their crops
and see that the leaves and steins are
kept out, the Oregon crop will loe its
prestige. P n previous years one of the
principal features of Oregon hojts and
one that appealed to the English brew
ers was tfe ' Oregon ' were well and
eleajAIy pipked, and. growers in their
own interest should see that the reputa

VICIOUS APPEAL
SERMON OF METROPOLITAN Or
ST.. PETERSBURG IS SO CHAR
ACTERIZED BY PRESS.
Declared a Harangue to Ignorant That
Will Incite Peasants to Attacks on
Nobles Is Widely Denounced and
Disavowals From Church Demanded.
ST. ' FKTKRsniTKO, March 30. To
view of the peasant agitation through
out the country, some of the news
paers aro serioutdy alarmed at the ef
fect of the recent pastoral address of
the metropolitan of St. Petersburg, M.
Antonius, as being a direct incitement
to tho ignorant peasants to legin a war
or extermination against tho entire edu"
J eated class, and the papers are demand
ing iui too inciropoiiuin ani noiy
synod, whose mouthpiero it is assumed
Antoniof was, take immediate meas
ures to counteract the effect of Lis
statements.
Prince Mestchersky, editor of tLo
Grashdanin, denounces the sermon as
the most dangerous utterance of thfl
century, and pictures tho inevitable
impression produced on the ignorant,
religious minded peasants of a dam
nation from the altar of the "intel
lectual," a being the fea of Kuwia,
"blwKly wolves and followers of lh
anti-Christ of the West, who would
destroy tho holy temples, place sacre I
bones in anatomical museums and
wean the people from their chances of
entering the kingdom of heaven."
M. Onereshkovski, tho famous au
thor, declares that to call on the faith
ful to fight with the cross to the 1 n
drop of their blood for the salva.i a
of Russia as the home of Christ, and to
cut off tho rotten branch, was nothir ;
short of a tocsin for a religious v,?
rising an appeal to the most fanatical
and the most uncontrollable of human
passions.
"The fire-once started,' he says,
"would produce a worb) of hUl ;i
conflagrations, which neither the gov
ernment nor the intellectual can sloi ."
In effect, he affirms that Antoni
address was an appeal to the 'pea-a j
to tear out from, iiussia all l:uror i
culture and put the country back
the state iuto, whirh it was in .
Middle Ags, and from that stan lp
it was mors radical. than the doctri
of the most radical revolutionists.
