Colling’ counsel objected and ask- ed the court to reserve the amendment, which was done. Collins’ counsel then asked that the case be adjourned until to-morrow. The prosecution asked that the case be adjourned untii Monday, but this was objected to and Judge Lamp- man remanded Collins untfl to-morrow morning. A WITNESSES TO GO NORTH.

Swings a Heavy Bat and Wins From Tacoma. | PORTLAND, July 19.—Tacoma used three pitchers in-to-day’s game and they all looked alike to the locals, who solved the shoots of' each in a lively fashion. Portland batted both Emerson and Keefe from the box in the first in- ning, when they found the Tiger twirl- ers for four hits, one off Emerson and ANOTHER THEFT - AT VAN NUYS Burglar Enters Apartments of Harry Spillman and Gathers Up Valuables POLICE ARE BAFFLED ulatids fe Neighborhood Proves a Good Field for Criminal, Who Leaves No Clew Behind A thief, who has the Police Department at wits' end, has been operating for some time in the vicinity of Bush and Jones streets among apartment and fashionable boarding houses. Yesterday he made a rich haul from the rooms of Harry L. Spillman in the Van Nuys, making away _| with diamond rings valued at $§225, $53 in cash and a $10 pair of glasses. Again the thief left no clew behind him, and the detectives are as baffled as ever as to & trail. The Van Nuys and the Hollan House, which adjoins, have been the principal sufferers from this thief who circum- scribes his field of work. Thefts both large and small have been matters of frequent report to the department from these places. On June 26 Mrs. Char- lotte Chase, the proprietress of the Holland, notified the police that the clerk had been robbed of $225. The theft in the Van Nuys yesterday occurred while Mrs. Spillman and her mother were preparing dinner in their kitchen, which is some distance down the hall from their bedroom. They did not hear any one enter the room and the loss was the more a surprise to them when it was learned that a key was used to enter. Mre. Spillman and mother returned home about 5 o'clock, and each placed her chatelaine purse in the bureau drawer before going to the kitchen. Harry Spillman arrived home at 5:25 and found the bedroom door locked. He went to the kitchen and returned with his wife to get some money, but when Mrs. Spillman opened her purse she was astonished to find it empty. A hur- ried search revealed the fact that the money was gone from both purses, with the exception of $10, which was tucked away in the corner of the bag. From Mrs, Spillman’s purse was taken the four cherished diamond rings. From the mother’s bag the robber se- cured $3 in silver and the $10 pair of glasses. The police are certain that the theft was committed by some person acquaint- ed with the apartments and the move- ments of the women. The door was un- locked, leading the police to believe that some one with a passkey committed the theft. ——— WILL RUN THREE STAKES AT INGLESIDE COURSING PARK Jack Sutton, the New Judge, Will Make His First Apearance in the Saddle Saturday.

All this happened after Tacoma had scored in their half on Doyle's hit and steal and a safe hit by Truck Eagan. Fitzgerald was sent out on the hill in the second and although he was touched up in a rather lively fashion in the first four innings he occupied the slab, ne runs resulted until the sixth, when a pass to Schlafly, Runkle’s hit and Cor- bett's long fly allowed a run. Tacoma scored four runs in the sev- enth after two men were out, when, with/Lynch on first, Runkle muffed Fitzgerald’s pop fly, which error was followed by hits by Doyle, Sheehan and Nordyke and the score was tied.

O. Cook of Eu- gene, Or., a former clerk for the Booth- Kelley Lumber Company, that the de- fendants, Congressman Williamson, Van Gesner and Marion Biggs, are gullty of having conspired to suborn men to commit perjury. Judge de Haven, after waliting until after 8 o'clock to-night, retired to his home, leaving word that he would not return again unless the jury should return a verdict, and then only providing the action should be taken prior to 10:30 o'clock. The Judge was not called and the jury is again locked up for the night. Cook has been an interesting juror from the first and has not been easy under the yoke of the rules laid down. Even at the beginning of the trial he was disinclined to heed the admonition of the court that he should neither read the comments concerning the case as published in the papers nor discuss the case as he pleased. During the trial Cook seemed to find amusing passages in the evidence where others could see nothing to provoke a smile. It is the supposition that the jury will be discharged to-morrow if it is not able to reach a verdict by evening. It is understood that the Government has come into possession of new evidence since the close of the trial that would strengthen its case in the event of a second hearing. It is learned that on every ballot the jury has stood eleven for conviction and one for acquittal. BOOKMAKERS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Smash-Up in Seattle May Cost Life of J. H. Dempsey.

BAKERSFIELD, July 19.—An inspec- tion of the books and periodicals on file in the Beal Public Library, which was made this morning, revealed the fact that some one had willfully mutilated | not only many copies of magazines, but several volumes of scientific books, which in all probability cannot be re- placed. In the majority of instances en-; tire chapters, as well as numerous en- gravings, have been cut out bodily with some rough instrument.

Dotson's part- ner, Andy Ingram, was found guilty of murder in the second degree and sen- tenced to the penitentiary for life for the part he played in the Dunlap murder. Dotson awaits death on the gallows. The officers have believed since Dot~ son and Ingram were arrested that the two were interested in the several “mys- trious disappearances” that occurred here two years ago, one of which was the dis- appearance of Willard Jones, a South- ern Oregon stockman. Jones had several hundred dollars on his person the day he disappeared, and he was last seen on the streets of Grants Pass. Dotson made the remark while in jail a few day ago that he could tell where Jones was buried.

One morning a whirlwind appeared to be approach- ing over the water in the bay of San Salvador, and soon this was made out to be an enormous school of whales, so thick that they seemed to be jostling | Nothing was seen but fins | each other. and tails and the water in foam around. “This was in a flowing tide, and they all came into the inlet itself describing sort of | cycloidal curves until the inshore part of the squadron took on a kelp reef. Then a sudden pause seemed to seize | them all, and the unfortunate animals went up the inlet full speed, with the water boiling in upon them and a great wave coming after them, iind they piled up in hundreds on the beach. Then, as there was a rising tide, they got off again, but only to charge the opposite beach, and this continued till the fol- lowing tide and loss of strength left them high and dry all round the dreary bay. “Very few, old or young, lived more than a Guarter of an hour after their final stranding. Some died quietly, others beat the sand and water with their tails, dyeing the water with their blood. By evening, after that tide had ebbed, there were only flve whales afloat out of the more than 500 that had come into the inlet so majestically | that morning. Next day only three were to be seen. They swam around for a while. and then, as if disdaining to live when all their companions were dead, they made straight for the beach, and In a few minutes had passed out of existence. The whales were from four to thirty feet long, the four-foot whales being Just born. “Some | IURY IO HUETER CASE “Grand Jury in San Jose in | Session During Morning | Listens to Four Witnesses | —_— {ADJOURNS TO { Woman Remains in the Jail | and Her Father Guards Her From the Inquisitive —_— Special Dispatch to The Cail.

The testimony taken to-day was merely in regard to the body of Hueter when the | physiclans and Grindell arrived at the | house. i John Utschig, the father of Mrs. Hueter, remains constantly by the side | of his daughter and protects her from | newspaper men.

While electricity has frequently been recommended to the farmer as a con- venient means for plowing, operating machinery, pumping water, etc., yet in practice he has been rarely able to avail himself of such assistance, since farms cannot be located in mountain- ous country where waterpower is | abundant, while coal and gasoline for engines to drive the dynamos cannot | be procured with sufficient cheapness |to make the undertaking a practi | success. teresting experiments Al Recently in France some in- have been cac- | rled on where various waste vegetable | products, such as straw, leaves, weeas, unserviceable hay and similar sab- stances have been used as fuel In sas generators. It has been found that from such materials a low-carbon gas can be evolved In vertical gas gener- ators, and by means of a gas motor and dynamo electricity can be devel- oped. This can be done much cheaper than by burning coal or petroleum products and when a number of farm- mers unite to maintain a plant that will furnish about fifty or seventy-five horsepower it is belieyed that electric- ity could be @@stributed about the neighborhood with considerable econ- |omy. The method employed was to { collect the material, chopping the straw and like substances, and then after it is dried, pressing it into bales welghing about 1300 pounds per cubic yard.
