JURY
Ring According to
Late Rumor
talo of woo to that .august body.
Geo. G. Brown, clerk of tho state
land board, was before the grand jury
this morning. Mr. Brown is not impli
cated in any way with the transactions
of the school land ring, nnd his testi
mony was purely of a corroborativo
nature as to parties appearing before
tho board Wnd making applications for
tho purehaso of school land. It is in
tended to show by his testimony that
men conspired to become owners of
vast tracts of land at tho cxpenso of
tho state through hired tools. His evi
dence was iutcresting, as it was
proved beyond a doubt that ti very few
men had issued checks for tho entire
amount of money paid for largo pur
chases of blocks of land. ,
Land Agent West wns again bofore
tho grand jury this morning. As ho is
ono of tho interested parties in the
prosecution, ho did not give testimony,
but rolatcd to tho members nnd tho dis
trict attorney his actions in Portland
while serving subpoeunes. Ho will
probably return to that city tho last
of this week, nnd summon sovornl more
witnesses, providing tho jury consider
that their testimony would bo of as
sUtanco to tho state in returning indict
ments. ROBBERS

FINANCE
SECOND
TO LOVE
Chicago, April 13. John W. Gntes
reached Chicago yesterday morning.
Finance stumbled in its operations to
permit a troubled man to touch the
human side of life. Mr. Oaten was on
his way to St. Charles to pay n Inst re
spect to his father, who wiih dying.
Tho Gates family is strong in its love
and its hates. It comes from an intenso
stock. On tho, board of triulo somo "0,
000,000 or 30,000,000 bushels of wheat
bought for delivery next month wero
awaiting Mr. Gates' will. Markot
pricos nervously bounded up nnd down,
principally up. Still, this did not in
terfere with tho speculator's ono
thought to 'got to St. Charles, nnd say
a Inst farewell to the man who gave
him lite. Ho left lit noon for tho old
home. Gates, senior, is not expeotod to
live over tho night,
AVhile the mnrket folt vigorous elec
tric toui-ho, the mini who is waging tho
tremendous wheat control issuo with
tho ArinourH was going westward to
honor his sire. Finance shrinks into
insigniuVnnoo when it moots filial Invo.
That is possibly why tho trading to
day did not amount to more than 2A0,-
000 bush el a
The isther is A mil Gates; the son was
born in 1S36, although somo of his riv
als insist that ho canto into uxistuuuo
BOO years ago, judging by tho way ho
has 'figged," as thoy any, many of
their cherished Hohemos to ovorthrow
him.
Gntes, senior, is as munh n charac
ter as his son. Ho hns been ill before.
Then holms recovered; his vitality has
been remarkable, equal to, if not great
er than thai of his son, although John
W. has been killed off half n dozen .
times bv his opponents and tho doctors,
only to rappear strong, courageous and
indomitable as before. This time,
though, the' father is surrendering.
Ose of the close frlemln of Mr. Gates
said, after his leaving fur St. Charles,
this afternoen:
'So tux as tho whout market is son
cemed, he is not lotting go of any trans
actions in wbleh ho may be. He is not
the ty;- of n man to quit when all mar
ket conditions favor his judgment or to
quit wbi-n temporary conditions might
drive a Ie poworful man Into fright.
Whatever he is doing In tho wheat marr
kct is Wing sustained, and will bo kept
so until bis own judgment diotntes a
settlement."
Meanwhile finance halted; tbo dying,
man at 8t. Charles and tho lovo borne
blm by his sen rose abova the sordid
turn of the wheel of moiiey. Love and
death h-ll back tho market.
