Out the Militia and At torney Ringo and Take a Hand Himself. AN OPERA BOUFFE STAND Democratic Governor With Negro Pri vate Agent Would Make Good Moving Picture. I A dispatch from The Dalles dated Sunday, June 1, tells a story of the sud den activity of Governor West in that J little city, in the way of cleaning up the red-light district. The governor, went at it in first-class grand stand shape. He did not say anything to the sheriff or the other officers, but just butted in, and took charge of the affair, ' much as he did in Portland. The governor said in an interview Sunday: '"While passing through The Dalles some time ago on a train I saw women on the porch of one of your resorts in their gaudy clothes and painted faces. I was taunted by friends, who said: 'That is the way the la wis enforced.' I decided to investigate, and sent spe cial agents here. They gathered evi dence, and I ordered them to close the TesortB. Sheriff Chrisimnan refused to lock the prisoners up, so I came up hero today to see that they are confined and the houses closed. I have no desire to i prosecuto the poor girls who have been in houses or the so-called 'guests' who were caught. That 's up to the district attorney, and I have no suggestion to make. All I desire is that the houses be closed and that the landladies and l their maeques be prosecuted. ' My spe cial agents, Prosecutor Ringo and the militiamen will romain in The Dalles until the cases are disposed of." The governor sent three special agents to The Dalles, Tom Kay, James T. Williams and George A. Ycaton, one, Williams, a negro, at one time em ployed as a cook in a local restaurant there, to investigate the situation. These and Truant Officer Bemington, alone knew of the intended raid, which wns made Saturday night. Four local ministers were sworn in as deputies by CnnqlntilA TTitrnnr wlin nrai nnll.,.1 .. ., ,,. on to make the raid, and 32 women and one man were arrested. The sheriff was called up about midnight, but he re vised to look the prisoners in jail with out a commitment, especially as the prisoners were brought to him by strangers, and who, so far as he knew, had no authority to make arrests and the whole party was held under guard all night at the Washington hotel. When Attorneys Fred W. Yilson and R. R. Putter tried to see the prisoners they A were refused admission, and the bie negro shoved a gun at Attorney Butler, who, by the, way, is a state senator, and the latter, after being roughly VanillaI rrnl '.a Y.a.,1. am.:....t 4W 1 1 uu.'..v.i, nv "' BKalufl 1113 nan. and threatened to shoot the first one who touched him. Sunday morning Governor West, with 11 militiamen and Attorney Ringo, of Portland or Salem raided The Dalles and took charge of the situation. Sheriff Chrisman imprisoned those un der arrest. The governor says he only wants the keepers of the resorts and the man C'arTol prosecuted, the latter ' .' . for living off the earnings of a woman. I Just why the governor took the militia to The Dalles is a mystery, and why he has conceived the idea that Ringo is the only honest and competent attorney in the state, is another. The matter is lip before Judge Bradshaw today, and as "Brad" is not excitable, and level headed, the matter will probably be set tied without calling out any more 1 1 oops. Accused of Murder.

UKITXL f HiSS LlASZO WIaB.1 Jefferson City, Fo., June 2. Colonel William Nelson, publisher of the Kan sas City Star, was, by an opinion of the state supreme court, released today from contempt of Judge Guthrie, of Kansas City, on the ground that Guthrie, who tried Nelson, had prepared his verdict that Nelson was guilty on the night be fore the trial. The opinion said: "We are clearly of the opinion that the publication (condemning Guthrie) is neither literally or substantially true, but was highly contomptous of the court and of the judge thereof."

The na ture of several new attractions for the fair is being withheld until such time as the finance committee is assured that they will prove a success, and that 1 . . , .... will he when a suiiicieni amount or money is either received or pledged.

Another meeting will be held in the Illihee club rooms this evening at 8 o'clock, at which time the arrangements will ho determined. Shocked by Electricity. ICXITCD PUSS U1SCD wm.l Medford, Ore., June 2. A horse be longing ot Mrs. I.illie B. Blackwood, of Phoenix, a Medford suburb, while standing under a tree on Jacksonville street yesterday was struck by light ning and killed. Mrs. W. S. Weston, who was walking nearby, was shocked, and dazed for several minutes. The horse wss killed instantly and the hair burned from its body, although the black locust to which it ws tied, and the vehicle to which it wss hitched, were not dsmaged. Sometimes it seems that both sides in a rase at law should lose, and be "cinched." M. IIIILUI UIIIIU11 " -"""" - I 1HI I 111 lllllllllll lllllll.

President Wil son has assumed personal charge of the lobby investigation here by a sub-com mittee appointed by the senate judi ciary committee.

He said he had suminoued Chairman Over man and Senator Reed to the White House "to make several suggestions in regard to procedure, and the scope of the investigation declaring the sugges tions would be scrupulously followed. The president would not state what his suggestions would be, saying that would appear during the hearings. ' President Wilson also said he did not contemplate testifying personally be fore the hearings. He said ho had not been invited or Bubpoenaed, but expect ed to furnish tho committee with con siderable information from the files of the White House. He will probably send a batch of papers to the committee to morrow. The presidont said he may name a dozen ambassadors next week. The cur rency bill, he said, would not go to congress,this week, because the comple tion of the measure had been delayed. He also admitted no further note re garding the California alien land law had been received from Japan. Something Promised.

It is understood At torney Grant Corby will appear before tho council in behalf of the deposed of ficer, and he stated this morning that there will be some new action taken up on the part of Mr. Matlock, Tom, Please Remove the Hole. Complaint is made that there is I mud hole on Lee street, between Nine teenth ami Twentieth streets, thaf would take the prize at any fair in Christendom as being the most perfect specimen of mud hole in existence.

Not on ly does it smell bail, but it looks that way.

C Griffith. SMALL SUMS ARE TAKEN Garage, Confectionery Store and Har ness Shop Among Places Broken Into by Thieves. Five robberies and an attempted one occurred in this city last Saturday, one or them taking place during the busiest part of the afternoon. Mrs. Joe 'Albert was the vicitm of the daylight theft. She had just stepped into the Capital National bank for the purpose of making some final arrange ments before leaving for Portland, and Had loft her suitcase in the waiting au tomobile. The traveling bag contained Mrs. Albert's gown and other valuable clothing which she intended to wear while attending a weddiirg which was to take place in Portland. When sho returned to the machine, the suit case was gone, and, up to the present time, the police who were immediately noti fied; have been unsuccessful in locating the guilty parties. Mrs. Albert valuos the clothing stolen highly, but she was not detorod by rea son of the fine garmonts being stolon, and went to Portland on schedule time. Dentist's Trousers Rifled. While J. C. Griffith was Bloepiog peacefully in his home, 1307 Court street, Saturday night, a burglar en tered the house by prying up a window and stole the dentist's trousers and shirt, which were hanging in an adjoin fWHA.nrt police wore notified, and after a good long search, found the ap parel in front of houses along 14th street. In summing up his loss, Dr. Griffith finds that he Is out about $150. The trouser's pockets contained a solid gold watch and chain, $12 In money, a pock et knlfo and other trinkets, whilo the shirt was decorated with a pearl stud and some handsome cuff and collar buttons. The clothing was not damaged in tho least when found by tho police, but the valuable are missing and no clew left by the sneak thieves. Other Bobberies.

Onlv a small sum or money rewarded tho burglars for thoir ttonble, however, A confoetionory store at the coreer of 17th and Asylum avenue was vlsstod by burglars and .a quantity of cigars and small change was stolen, When the proprietors of the Stiff second-hand storo arrived at thoir place of business this morning they found a jim my near the rear door of the build ing. Although an invojee of the goods in the store has not been taken as yet,' It is believed that the owner or owners of the housebreaking tool may have succeeded in forcing the rear door and getting away with something. The police are In the dark so far, due to tho fact that no clew was loft at any ot the places where robberies occurred. There are evidently two bands of burg lars opernting in the city at the present time, but the officers are unable to place any suspicion today as to who Is pulling off the stunts.
