Stuart. R. J. Pryke. William I.. Wiggins. S. K. CraiB. M. V. Rath, Al Salmon. Orlando S. Murray shot and killed Lin coln C. -Whitney yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. Murray says 'Whitney betrayed lila sister. Miss Mary Murray, under prom ise of marriage and then refused to keep his word and save her from imminent disgrace. The tragedy occurred at the home of Whitney's sister, Mrs. Anna Por 1 ter. 360 East Harrison street. The slayer 1 Is 21 years old, resides with his parents at . 17H5 Druid street, and is employed in a ! Peninsular lath mill. Whitney was 22 i years old, and had resided at his parents' , home at Hubbard, Marion County. The i sister is 19 years of age. After killing hrs sister's betrayer, Murray ran to a car, boarded it, went direct to the Sher iff's office and Rave himself up. The tragedy followed an earnest discus sion as to whether or not Whitney should marry the sister. Murray did all the talk ing. He begged, coaxed, pleaded and finally threatened. Whitney was evasive until the very last. Murray then drew a 38-callber revolver and fired three shots. One penetrated the head, another the right breast and a third the right side. Any one of the shots would have resulted fatally. Death came in about 30 minutes. Family Tries to Hasten Marriage. For a week the Murray farnjly has been trying to hasten the marriage of the young couple. The father, O. S. Murray, a retired physician, went to Hubbard a week ago with Miss Mary and talked the matter over with young Whitney's father. The elder Whitney talked reasonably, but Dr. Murray says the boy's mother came out of the house, called his daughter a vile name and Insulted him. He then left the place. The trouble was kept from young Murray's ears until a week ago, when Dr. Murray decided to tell him all. Young Murray at once took the matter Into his own hands. He set out to effect a . wedding, and put a revolver in his pocket for use In case of failure. He says he made up his mind to wipe out the score one way or the other. First he went to District Attorney Man Ming to see if the law could aid him. Mr. Manning referred him to the District At torney of Marion County. John McNary. Murray says the Marion County official gave him no satisfaction whatever, say ing he could do nothing further than to write Whitney a note requesting lilm to call at the office and talk the matter over. Murray lost no further time. He went 'with his mother and sister to Hubbard. It was learned there that Whitney was in Portland. The brother located him yesterday morning at Mrs. Porter's place, leaving his mother and sister .a block from the house, lie stepped into the yard and asked for Whitney. The latter came out in his shirt-sleeves. After a discus sion, Murray whipped out his gun. Whit ney jumped behind his sister, but this did not save him. Murray thrust Mrs. Porter to one side and then opened tire. As he ran out the gate after killing Whitney he waved farewell to his mother, who was waiting at the corner, and then ran for a car. In Cell With Murderer IJIodgett. When he reached the County Jail the young slayer was questioned closely, a stenographic report of his confession taken, and then he was assigned to a cell with Murderer Blodgett. Attorney John F. Logan was secured by Dr. Murray to act as the young man's counsel. While he was collected when he reached the Sheriff's office, a recital of the incidents leading up to the shooting brought out evidences of intense feeling. The perspi ration broke out on him in a room that was rather chilly, and the tears ran free ly, although his voice was steady. He is a big, good-natured boy. fond of home and of his sister, and is known to devote ail his earnings to the household expenses "My sister first met Whitney in the Marlon County hopflelds a year ago this past September," he said, in telling of the tragedy and the causes leading up to It. "He called on her a number of times ond we always treated him as one of the family. Then he invited her to spend a week with his parents and a second week with his sister, near Hubbard. During this time he promised to marry her In two weeks and accomplished her down fall, "About three weeks ago my sister told my father that she was threatened with disgrace unless Whitney could be induced to make good his promise and marry her My father tod my mother, but they kept It from me. My father and Mary went to Hubbard. Father talked it over with the elder Whitney and then called the young man himself. Whitney laughed in my father's face and said he would not marry my sister. Mrs. Whitney then came out. called my sister a vile name and in sulted my father and they came away. Later they told me. "I saw Mr. Manning about it. He re ferred me to John McNary. District At torney at Salem. He would not give me much satisfaction, so on Sunday mother, sister and 1 went to Hubbard. Whitney was not there. 1 located him this morrf lng at his sister's home on the East Side. "He came out -smiling to meet me and when I told him I wanted him to come with me and marry my sister as he had promised he began cutting his finger nails, but said nothing. I told him again to get his coat and hat and come with me, that I would give him the money if he didn't have it. Ho looked up and smiled again. "I told him then that my sister was a graduate of the Montavilla schools, that her character was above reproach, and that he alone knew anything to the con trary. I told him that he was responsible for her plight, that if he had one spark of manhood and decency he would come with me and marry my sister. I said it was a small thing I was asking that he did not need to support her, as I would do that if he wished. "He would not say just what he would do until I had been urging him for nearly - hour. He did not deny that it was his duty to marry her, but finally he said he would not do so. Then I told him he was a dead man unless he did. He said he had better be dead than, married to my sister. Then I took out my revolver. 'Will you be a man and marry my sis ter?" I said. 'No.' he said, and he jumped for the porch, while his sister got in front of him. "I did not shoot while he was behind his sister for fear of hitting her or one of the children. I pushed her away, put the Run in his face and asked him for the last time if he would marry my sister. As he shook his head I fired. As he fell I shot again, and when he was down I fired a third shot Into him before, leav ing." Mrs. Porter's story of the shooting va ries somewhat. After the talk, she says, Murray's mother came up. and also im plored Whitney to marry the girl. When he did not consent they went away. Mur ray asked Whitney if he would marry the sister and then shot before Whitney had answered. Whitney lived about .30 minutes after being shot, but died before medical as sistance reached him. The body was re moved to the morgue by Coroner Finley. An effort will be -made by Mr. Logan, attorney for Murray, to have the prelim inary examination this week. Temporary insanity will be the pica. Mr. Logan as serts the belief that a jury cunnot be se cured in tl'.e United States that would convict Murray for what he did. PROCEEDINGS AT. THE INQCEST Eye-Witnesses to Killing Tell Stories of the Tragedy. A jury impaneled by Arthur L. Finley. the Deputy Coroner, heard the story of eye-witnesses and others closely con- nected with the crime last evening and quickly brought In a simple verdict, PRINCIPALS IN THE TRAGEDY WHICH RESULTED IN KILLING - t i V,i ft a t 40 jfe- is " -LA i Orlando 8. Murray, Who Killed Whit ney to Avenge His Sister's Honor. saying that I C. Whitney came to his death from gunshot wounds, inflicted by Orlando S. Murray. Gus C. Moser, Deputy District Attorney, representing the state, assisted Deputy Coroner Finley in conducting the inquest. John F. Logan appeared as counsel foe Murray. The young woman over whom the murder was committed, her mother, the sister and niece of the slain man, Deputy Sheriff Bulger. Dr. Clayton S. Seaman and Albert Miller were examined during the session. Albert Miller, residing at 8S Skidmore street,' a carpenter by occupation, was the first witness called. . With others, he was working at his traile about 150 feet distant from the scene of the murder. When he heard the shots, he rushed to the bouse at 360 East-' Harrison and found young Whitney dying. He saw the murderer 'running away. There was a dramatic scene when Mrs. A. M. Porter, brother of the murdered man, entered the room and be?an giving her testimony. It is the claim of the murderer and his family that he had talked with Whitney at least an hour before firing the fatal shots, but Mrs. Porter swore he had not been there more than 20 minutes. "Murray did not talk to my brother more than 20 minutes," said Mrs. Porter. "I heard him ask my brother to marry Miss Murray. My brother never spoke a word, and was standing in silence. When Murray took out the revolver, I cried, Oh. God. don't kill him. he'll marry your sister." but Murray shot him. any way. My brother fell at the first phot. I stooped and asked him where he was hurt worst. He replied, 'My stomach: I'll marry her.' He died before he could speak further." "Was it not nearly an hour Murray talked with your brother?" asked At torney Logan. "It was not more than 20 minutes," replied Mrs. Porter. "Did any one ever tell you of this trouble the trouble leading to the mur der." asked Mr. Logan. Mrs. Porter hung her head for a full minute, and did not reply until Deputy Coroner Finley explained te her it would be proper. "I had heard a lot. but I don't want to tell it," she replied. "My brother told me." Mrs. Anna Murray, mother of the mur derer, swore that she was two blocks distant when the shooting occurred. She swore she did not hear the shots fired. She saw her son hurrying away, but paid little attention to him. she swore. She declared he had at least an hour's conversation with young Whitney. With her son and daughter, she said, she left Montavilla. where they spent the night at her sister's home, to come to the Porter residence to see Whitney. She did not know her son was armed, and did not know he Intended killing, she swore. At this juncture, Mary Murray, a frail, delicate woman, giving her age as 19 years, took the witness stand. She was the one. to avenge whose honor her bro ther murdered Whitney. She lost control of her emotions but once, when she broke down and cried. Miss Murray was with her mother, two blocks distant from the Porter home, when her brother fired the shots, she said. When her brother left them, she swore.- he said he would "see Lincoln and try to get him to do the right thing." "I did not know my brother had a weapon, neither did I know of his inten tion to murder Lincoln, if he had such intentions." Miss Murray swore. Dr. Clayton S. Seaman swore that he attended Whitney. Death was due to hemorrhages, he stated, caused by two bullet wounds in -the back. Clara Barnes, a niece of Whitney, cor roborated her mother's statements. May Land St., Johns on Water Cart. A movement Is on foot that may place St. Johns In the prohibition column at the election In April. There was a nar row escape at the last election, only five votes being in favor of a wet town, but next time Rev. Fred J. Warren and Rev. F. L. Young say that St. Jonhs will go dry. The temperance people are laying their wires to include University Park with St. Johns in the local option test, and they expect to win hands down. There are five saloons in St. Johns, which yield a revenue of J.VXX) per annum for the support of the city government. A battle royal between wet and dry forces Is promised. SCALES SI TO I C. C. Claggett Asserts That Short Weights Are Given in Local Stores. AGENT OF RIVAL COMPANY OTfers to Demonstrate Before Tietail Grocers' Association, but Mem bers End Proceedings by Ex- pressing Faith In Scales. That the scales in use in 73 per cent of the groceries of Portland are inaccu rate and are designed to cheat the cus tomer from 10 to 20 per cent on every nur. chase Is the startling charge made By C. C. Claggett. agent for an opposition scale company. He offered to prove his con tention before the Portland Retail Gro cers' Association last night and a demon stration was planned. But Mr. Claggett s 4 Lincoln C. Vvnimey, tlaln by Murray. was not allowed to proceed with his in vestigation and before he was fairly started the association voted to discon tinue the test. The committee of three members who were to be judges of the test retired and brought in a verdict that amounted to an expression of confidence in the scale, which stands on the counters of most Portland groceries. The demonstration proved a fiasco because the grocers voted not to let it proceed. Nearly all Portland grocers use the ac cused computing scale. Mr. Claggett says that of the mere than 4000 figures on this scale, over 2000 are wrong in that they are placed too close to the zero and be cause of this fact, if the scale is read on plain figures, the customer will lose from one to three cents on the odd ounce. Even ounces, he says, are all right. Says Scale Is Robber. He contends that this scale is an im position on the public and is a robber that steals away the public money by get ting from 10 to 20 per cent more than is is due. The weighing part of the scale, he says, is all right, but the computing part is the one which he says does the stealing of the people's money. Mr. Clag gett says because the figures are ar ranged on the scale with not' enough marks between to indicate exactly what the article weighed will cost, the grocer, if he reads the plain figures of the scale, is bound to charge more than he ought, even if he is inclined to exact no more than what is honestly due. In support of their contention, Mr. Clag gett quotes the circulars issued by the scale company to prove his point. Chi cago agents for the company, he says, Issued the following tempting piece of information to induce retailers to use the scale: "Can you do this on your scale? Buy 20 pounds pork loins at nine cents a pound, retail them to the trade at the same price and get your money back? We can on our scale and make you 3 per cent profit besides If your business amounts to $10 a day sales," we can earn you 30 cents in fractions you don't get now. Thirty cents a day means that you buy this scale every ISO days." Acting on the above information, the United States Court at Cincinnati con demned a scale on this showing. In the scales on the Portland counters, the con it ' 'I s - - DIVER WORKS IN MURKY FLOOD THIRTY FEET BENEATH SURFACE Fritz De Rock, Who Set McMinnville's Waterworks Going, Clung to Pipe in Fifteen-Mile Current and Chiseled Bolts in Two. THIRTY FEET beneath - the surface of tlie river, with the angry flood waters of the Yamhill surging about him, Fritz De Rock, a Portland diver accomplished a submarine feat at Mc Minnville Saturday and Sunday which, if is believed, has never been equaled. For two days he' worked in a current that raced around him at the terrific rate of 15 miles an hour and succeeded in repair ing the intake of the water system, after McMinnville had been dry for a period of four days. Heretofore it was not believed that submarine divers could do effective work in a swift current. Last week the intajce of the water sys tem which supplies McMinnville with wa ter pumped from the Yamhill River be came clogged. The system wa rendered useless, ar.d after local mechanics had in effectually attempted to remedy matters. De Rock was appealed to. He hesitated o undertake the task, as he realized that it was one of extreme pei-il. but the emer gency was such that he was prevailed upon to make the attempt. When he arrived at McMinnville the whole town was alarmed. Schools had been dismissed so that the pupils might carry water about the city. A great crowd assembled when he made his flrat descent into the river on Saturday, and on Sun day, when he had made the necessary re pairs, after an imminent risk of his life, he became the hero of the town. The power plant which pumps the water is on the bank of the river, and extending down from it into the water is the intake pipe. Strapping a chisel and a hammer about his waist, DeRock descended along computing side of the indicator is hiddin from the customer. The weight may be seen by the purchaser and is considered correct, but the price remains to be an nounced by the grocer or butcher. If the amount purchased is in fractions, a rapid stunt in mental arithmetic is the only way the buyer has of satisfying him self that he has a square deal. It is the contention of Mr. Claggett that while the grocers are not dishonest,' the scale is, and is made for the purpose of lining the owner's pockets at the expense of the customer. "In Portland there is no city ordinance that compels a grocer even to give 16 ounces for a pound," said Mr. Claggett, "although there is the state law on weights and measures. There should be some local ordinance that would compel honest scales. Short Weight In Beams. "I am not taking- any wild state ments when I say that many scales in use in Portland stores are working all the time for their owners. I went to a prominent grocery the other day, whose proprietor is a member of the Retail Grocer's Association, and bought a small quantity of beans. I received of an ounce less than I should have had. This much represents A plain steal. In the same store I asked three clerks what they would charge me for the same weights of different com modities. On one Item the clerks dif fered two cents. This certainly shows a radical defect in the scales. The clerk has to guess at what to charge, or if he takes the plain figures, ho must charge more than the goods are worth or a few cents less, and It is a cer tainty he is not going to charge any less." Mr. Claggett proposed to show the grocers at last night's meeting the dis honesty of their scales. He brought a scale of the usual type and a local agent brought one also, lest the ma- OF LINCOLN C. WHITNEY Mary M. Murray, Whom Whitney Wronged. chine brought by Mr. Claggett should have . been tampered with. When it came time to demonstrate, either of the two scales proved satisfactory to the other and a third scale was pro cured. Hostility between the two scale agents almost led to an open encounter during the evening and the grocers themselves were divided. . The majority, however, did not wish to be shown any defects in their scales and they announced themselves 'as convinced that the machines are correct. Mr. Claggett related the incident of the short weight In the beams he bought on a rural scale. "You were lucky to get that much," one grocer retorted. Needless to. say, Mr. Claggett, as agent for a rival scale company, is not disinterested In his crusade against the weighing apparatus used by Portland retailers for he hopes to introduce his own company's goods. He promises to start a scale war in the city and says he can show the dishonesty of the balances used here to the satisfaction of anyone. CATTLE DROWN IN RIVER Sheds of the Pacific States Packing Company Fall Into Stream. Weakened by th,e flood and the strain of a boom of logs, which was moored to their supports, the sheds of the Pacific States Packing. Company, which stand on the river bank at Fulton, fell into the river yesterday about noon. A large number of cattle and hogs were precipi tated into the water and about 40 hogs and 15 cattle were drowned. The sheds of the packing company stand on the extreme edge of the river and are supported by piling, which now stand in the water because of the high stage of the river. Big Appropriution Is Asked. OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 12. (Special.) The biennial report of the state college at Pullman has been filed. The regents ask for an appropriation of $500,000, as against $165,000 two years ago. the pipe, which he was compelled to grasp to keep from being swept from' his feet by the current, which ran like a mlllrace. If'for a moment he had relaxed his grasp he would have been carried down stream, and attired in his heavy submarine suit he could never have reached the bank alive. When but three feet beneath the surface he could not see light above his head, so muddy was the stream. Upon reaching the mouth of the in take he discovered that the screen which covers it was clogged with sand and brush and that another one would have to be substituted. He then began to chisel oft the bolts which held the screen and succeeded in prying it off. He struck his hands so often with the hammer that he will lose all his nails. Another screen was lowered down to him and this he fastened over the mouth of the pipe, which completed his work. While laboring with the screen De Rock was compelled to strap himself around tile Iron pipe. It was slow work chisel ing off the steel bolts, as It exhausted his strength to strike a blow. In still water it Is hard enough to strike with any force, but In a current it (s materially more djfl flcult. A3 an evidence of-the interest taken by the McMlrmville citizens In the work, it might be "tated that Mayor Mason was the one who operated the pumps which supplied He Rock with air during the first day. The second day Mayor Mason was so sore from his exertions that he could hardly be about and reluctantly he had to surrender his post of honor to another prominent. citizen. De Rock was presented with $200 for his services, but although the pay was high, he thinks he earned it. K'' . - ''.- .-'I l ; TEACH USEFUL-WORK Portland Schools Will Have Manual Training. ROOM FOR CLASSES ADDED Branch of Curriculum Gains in Pop ularity and School Board Meets Demand for Instruction by Providing Equipment. Equipment for manual training classes will be installed in the new East Side High and Sunnyside schools and In the Williams-avenue school The needs for the extehslon of this branch of the public school curriculum was presented last night by the supervisor. W. J. Standley, to the Board of Education which authorized the purchase of the necessary equipment. The manual training station in the new East Side High School building will bo one of the largest and best equipped In the city. Because of lack of space, no accomodation for manual training has been provided in the present high school, and it is probable that pupils of both institutions will take advantage of the quarters in the new building. The boys of the Williams-avenue school have been going to one of the other school houses for manual training lessons, but it is believed that more satisfactory results will be realized by providing equipment In the school. A portable station will also be placed In the Sell wood school. Manual training has been gaining In popularity among the schools, according to Mr. Standley, and the board agreed that stations would be provided wherever they are necessary. The smaller cities of the state are also following the lead of Portland in this line of work. A com munication was read at the meeting last night from the school board at Forest Grove, asking to arrange for the services of one of the Portland manual training teachers a portion of each week. It was decided, however, that all of the instruc tors are needed here. Superintendent Rigler called attention to the necessity of completing all of the rooms of the East Side High School as soon as possible. The present contract calls only for the finishing of the first floor rooms and the assembly rooms. This will give 12 recitation rooms which will not give accomodations for more pupils than are ready to enter the Institution upon its completion. It will be neces sary to . finish the interior of the re mainder -of the building as soon as pos sible .in order to supply the increasing at tendance. It was also reported that the Arleta school is now over-crowded. All of the rooms are full and in one case there are 56 pupils in a single room. It was de cided to move ono of the portable rooms from Sunnyside to Arleta as soon as the new building at the former place is ready for occupancy. The board voted to give city life diplomas to teachers with four years' ex perience in case two years of that time have been spent in the Portland schools. Under the present rules, a teacher must have taught in this city four years be fore getting the life diploma, which is necessary for the highest wages paid. A petition of the janitors of the various schools for higher wages was referred to the finance committee. Mr. Flelschner was not Inclined to allow the request, but It met with the .approval of Mr. Beach. The latter some time ago advocated pay ing $3.50 a month for each room over ten, and this suggestion may now be adopted. The present salary is $60 a month for the care of 10-room schools and $2.50 a month for each room over that number. It was decided to refuse a request from the Visiting Nurses' Association which desired to send representatives to the schools to watch for contagious diseases among the pupils. The request was made by Mrs. Millie Trumbull. The board was of the opinion that this duty falls within the province of the teachers. WITNESSES HEARD IX REGARD TO ALLEGED CRIMINAL LIBEL. Efrort for Irdictnient Grows Out of Cartoon Printed in The Oregonlaiv.. To investigate complaints of alleged' criminal libel, brougnt Dy w. m. uiuu, through his attorneys. C. E. S. Wood and James Gleason, against The Oregonlan and Its publishers, a grand jury was called yesterday in the Circuit Court, by Judge Sears, at the instance of Mr. Wood. Mr. Gleason and C. S. Jackson, publisher of the Evening Journal. The jury heard four witnesses in behalf of the com plaintRichard Williams. C. 3. Jackson, W. D. Wheelwright and W. M. Ladd and two witnesses in behalf of The Oregonian H W. Scott, editor, and E. B. PJper, managing editor and adjourned shortly before 5 o'clock until 9:30 this morning. The effort for indictment, grows out of a cartoon printed in The Oregonian No vember 4. depicting W. M. Ladd, one of the principal stockholders of the Evening Journal, as being a sponsor of the Hearst stvle of Journalism. The grand jury is composed of the fol lowing members: R. R. Colson, foreman, of Gresham. farmer; Abram Dllley, of Portland. 234 Curry street, capitalist; Chales Ahlsen, of Hillsdale, farmer; J. B. Schaefer, of Linnton. farmer: William Stanley, of Gresham, farmer; Phillip Law ton, of Portland. 829 First street, car penter; James H. Schram, of Cleone, farmer. An unusual feature of the proceedings was the serving of Mr. Wood before the jury as deputy district attorney, to which he was deputized by District Attorney Manning, after the jury was impaneled. After' protest against his presence, by Henry B. McGinn, attorney for The Ore gonian, Mr. Wood withdrew. The instructions to the jury, as given by Judge Sears, are formal in character and do not disclose that the cause of call ing the juy was allegation of criminal libel. Other matters will probably be in vestigated by the jury, but It is expected by District Attorney Manning that they will not require a longer sitting than next Saturday. WOULD HOLD PAY BACK Mount Tabor Push Club Wants Con tractor to Repair Streets. The Mount Tabor Push Club last night decided to demand that further payment to the contractors for laying the pipeline from the upper reservoir to Albina be withheld until such time as they had re filled the ditch on West avenue and the Base Line road. Both roads were left in bad condition, and it was announced that the contractors had refused to complete' their work by restoring these highways which had been torn up In' laying the wa ter main. The club Instructed its com mittee to wait on the Water Committee and ask that further payment be stopped until the contractors restore the roads torn up. The committee on electric lights submit ted a report as to the distribution of the 12 lights that had been promised Mount Tabor. The report was accepted with some changes. The committee was in structed to urge placing the lights as asked for. The light committee also was instructed to petition the Portland Rail way Company to have lights placed at Francis avenue and also at East Fiftieth street. It was announced that a petition was being circulated asking the Portland Rail way Company to provide better car serv ice. About 300 signatures had been ob tained to all the petitions, and all the pa pers will be presented to Manager Fuller by the Push Club. A report on the project to purchase the top of Mount Tabor for a public park was to the effect that the matter would be submitted to a vote of the people at the coming June election. It was also stated that the reservoir for the second Bull Run pipe would probably not b lo cated on the summit of Mount Tabor, and might not enter into the question of purchase. J BAKER WILL ADMIT OXLY THOSE ACCOMPANIED. Troublesome "Gallery Gods," Under 16, Will Be Kept From the Baker and the Empire. Boys under 16 years of age will no longer be permitted to attend the night performances at the Baker and Empire Theaters unless they are accompanied by parents or guardians. George L. Baker, the manager, made this announcement last night and it is the direct outcome of the riot that occurred at the Empire The ater at the close of the show Sunday night. The boys may attend the mati nees, but Manager Baker Is determined to keep them out at night. Anxiety to prevent exhibitions of rowdyism caused Manager Baker to lay down this rule, which will go into effect tonight. There is a clique of toughs who have been in the custom of attending playhouses about town, and these are the ones Manager Baker la determined to de bar from the playhouses under his man agement. Manager Baker also announced yester day that he would pay a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the per son who threw the rock which injured Patrolman Carr during the trouble Sun day night. Acting Detective Price has been detailed on the cate, and he be lieves that he will be able to place his hands on the culprit today. There are half a dozen or more boys under suspicion, and they will probably be placed in custody today. Several of them, so it is understood, are messenger boys. If they are under 16 years of age they will, if apprehended, be taken be fore Judge Frazer, of the Juvenile Court, but if older, they will have to appear in the Municipal Court. It is thought by some that members of the Albina gang instigated the tiouble. but Acting Chief Gritzmacher states that he understands that the ringleaders are rowdy youths who frequent the downtown districts. "Boys under 16 years of age should be at home at night unless they are accom panied by their parents, and we don't want them in our theaters if they are alone," declared Manager Baker last night. "At the matinees they are all right, because then they behave, and only at night do they get unruly. We must have order, so wc shall take no more chances by admitting troublesome boys." NEW OREGON FRUIT REGION Summer Lake Grows Superior Ap ples, Says W. K. Newell. W. K. Newell, president of the State Boaril of Horticulture believes that Sum mer Lake, district in Lake County is destined to be one of the great fruit raising regions in Oregon. He declares that the apple." grown there equal the famous Hood River and Rogue River ap ples in every respect. Mr. Newell was in Portland yesterday on his way home after having made a trip, through Eastern Oregon. "Apples are grown In the Summer Lake district at an elevation of 4:100 feet and are as fine as can be produced in this country," said Mr. Newell yesterday. "The farmer.1? there are beginning to realize what superior fruit can be grown there and are awakening to the pos sibilities of that region. Many orchards are being planted and the outlook for the rapid development of that section of the state in regards to fruit raising is in deed bright. "When once a railroad is extended into the Summer Lake district the farmers will go into the apple-growing business on a large scale and there is no doubt in my mind that they will make a big suc cess of it."
