THE It A HTENDEH GOT
AWAY WITH THE COIN
This morning, about 1 o'clock, Ar
thur Roberge, a bartender at the
Frank H. Collins saloon, robbed the
till of the establishment, and left for
parts unknown. The amount of mon
ey secured was $108.50. Roberge had
a room at the Cottage hotel, and owes
this hostelry about $75 for board. The
proprietor of the hotel has asked him
from time to time to settle the
amount of the bill, but he stalled him
off with the promise that, as he be
longed to the bartenders' union that
organization would stand good for his
debts, If he did not find employment.
This seemed to satisfy the proprie
tor, and his board bill was allowed to
still further accumulate. Last night,
at closing time, Roberge busied him
self about the safe, so as to make the
porter believe that he was putting tire
money away, and, instead, was filling
his pockets with Mr. Collins' money.
It Is safe to assume that he left the
city Immediately. He did not show up
at the hotel this morning as usual,
and in all probability is now some dis
tance from Salem. His trunk and
other effects are at the hotel. The
theft was not discovered until this
morning, and the police were Immedi
ately notified, and Chief Hamilton and
Officer Hurkhardt went to work on
the cnBe, A thorough search has been
Just two days, and has worked some
at the Bank saloon, but has not had r
steady Job since coming here, several,
months ago. The fact that he be
longed to the bartenders' .'union
seemed to satisfy Mr. Collins at the
time he was employed, but now Mr.
Collins feels very keenly his mlBtake
in employing hrm.

was removed, and Immediately Hol

their way today when they ran up
against an Iron-clad rule in the gov

act upon nn parole or pardon until
the parole board has passed upon It,
and the consequence of which will
be that if they detdre to get the con

they must ask for a pardon and not
a parole, for the paroltj board can
not recommend the latter until the
minimum sentence bus expired,
which will not lie until June in the

the men III pajamas all their belong
ings having gone down with the
Oceana.
The paaaengers told a harrowing
tale of the action of the Oceana's
cowardly crew. These men, they
charged, knocked women and child
ren down In their efforts to get to
the life boats first But for the brav
ery of the vessel's officers, who
forced the crew below deck at the
point of guns, the death Hat, the pas

ones lowored into tha nrst lifeboat.
I The frail craft was overcrowded,
not less than 25 persons being
packed into the boat, when It was
