WHS GENTRY SHOT? Lad Tells Tale Which .Officials Discredit. BULLET OR STICK, IS POINT Thlrtecn-Tear-OId Son or Arlcta Man leclHre He AVas Shot by Air Rifle in JIanrts of I'nknown Bojr Xo Ballet Found. Was Carl Gentry, the 13-year-old in of Dan and Nettle Gentry, of Arleta, Bliot In the back of the head with ati air vitlo yesterday morning, or was he etruck with e. sharp stick. Is what the officials of the "juvenile Court would like to know. Had the bullet or stick struck Carl an Inch or more lower In the head, the re sult might have been fatal. IJoyd Carpenter, also of Arleta, cor roborated Gentry In his story "Of the shooting. The boys say they went to see Charll Cowden at Sis Columbia street to find Carl's dogr. On the way up Columbia street they fell In with three other boys, one of whom had an air rifle with which Tie was shooting. Gentry informed Probation "Officer Teus--her that he asked the boy, whose name he does not know, to let him shoot with the rifle. He was told the sun belonged to the boy's brother, one of the three. According to Carls story this brother then dared him to put his hand In the brother's coat pocket, which he refused to h. whereupon " boy No. 3 urged the little fallow with the gun to shoot. According- to the story told by Carl, and corroborated by IJoyd, the small boy shot five or six times after hitting- Carl in tfcs back of the head, missing XJoyd by few inches. Mr. Tense her sent the boys to Drs. Montgomery and Chamberlain, but no bullet could be found. The officers of the Juvenile Court are inclined to dis credit, the air-rifle story, believing the youngsters became involved in a quarrel, and that Carl Gentry was struck In the back of the head with a sharp stick. Search of the neighborhood on Colum bia street between Sixth and Seventh, where the boys said the shooting oc curred, failed to reveal a boy with an air gun. The Gentrys formerly lived at St. John.

GRASSMAN IN PORTLAND As Private Citizen, Visitor Declares Though riaz Friendly to ex President, Cncle Sam Will Xot Be Bothered. "There will be no trouble with Mexico over Zelaya," declared Ir. E. L. Grass man, Mexican Consul-at -Large, - who is spending a few days in Portland on busi ness, wh seen last night. "While Mexico desires to be friendly with the Central American republics to the south, she also desires to remain on the best of terms with the United States, and will not place difficulties in the way of Wash ington in carrying out plans that the State Department may have In this matter," continued Mr. Grossman. "The Zelaya tangle does not amount to anything, anyway. I say this as a Mexican citizen, not as an official; but I believe I am pretty well informed on the matter." . Dr. Grassman arrived ' last night on the Santa Clara, and went 'at once to the Perkins Hotel, where reservations had been made for him. His trip here, he said, was in no' way official, and would last but a day or two. Then he was going to the Puget Sound cities, and would return at once to Mexico. His visit here, he added, was not connected with any trade enterprise; but speaking of in dustrial matters he continued: Mexico Seeking Investments. "Mexico is seeking the investment of foreign capital to develop its mineral and agricultural resources. Any invest ment that is made there will be given every protection, and the government Is willing to give all concessions within rea son. Ther is at -present a great op portunity In Mexico for agricultural de velopment. We have thousands of acres of land suited to dry-farming, and even more and ready for irrigation. It Is the purpose of the government to encourage this form of enterprise, ' and we have made new irrigation laws, guaranteeing water rights, canal franchises and abso lute protection. "Mexico is not a tyrant. These maga- zine articles that tell of this "Barbarous Mexico are all nonsense. We have the peon system, and we have peon laws, laws that we have found necessary to keep the peons from actual starvation. "The only way the peons can be kept from becoming public charges is under the contract system. If you pay a peon by the day, he will work until he gets $1. and then he will run oft and get drunk, and will not come back to work until his Jl Is all spent, and until he has bor rowed and stolen all the money he can. As to the charge that peons are herded into villages, that is not true. The peons live in these villages, and you cannot drive them away ; it makes no difference whether they are working or not. "It Is true that the laws of Mexico would not be fitted for the United States. But neither would the laws of the Uni ted States be fitted for Mexico. We have a different people, and our laws are wise laws for our peculiar people. Diaz Seeks Betterment. "The government of Mexico is seeking the betterment of its people and its coun try in every way; but we cannot do what you have done here. We cannot adopt your school systems. We have to do things in our own way; experience has taught us that.. We do not want to be held up before the world as barbarians; we are a people striving to reach our destiny, and we are doing the best we can. "We expect most aid in this- from out side" investment; and to get this we as sure every foreign enterprise full protec tion and all the rights it can fairly ask. We ask for executive direction, and we will furnish the labor to improve our land. "Maybe when our resources are de-' veloped our people will be better able to handle them; just now we are desirous of learning. But we are not barbarous, we are enterprising, and' we are struggl ing with our own problems as best we can." PILES CURKIJ IN C to 14 DAYS.

THEATERS TO KEEP OPEN SHTTBERTS PL AX STOCK COM PANY FOR NORTHWEST. Gaps Between Kastern Plays Here and at Seattle to Be Filled by New Organization. The Shuberta are organizing a stock company In New York, and will send It Intact across the continent, to alternate between the Portland Theater here and the Alhambra Theater in Seattle. The opening engagement will be at the Port land on January 16, following "The Man from Home," . which will be seen here January 9. This step, is taken by the Bhuberts so that the theaters may re main open during the time they are not occupied by the regularly booked road attractions. -v E. L. Drew, ' of Russell & Drew, the Northwestern managers for the Shuberts, who Is here during the engagement of "The Gay Musician," has received a telegram from New York announcing other big attractions to be sent here by the Shuberts; but since they will not come continuously, the stock company is being organized to fill in the gaps. The members of the company and uh plays selected have not been given out. but It la understood that the company will be a flTst-class one, and will present only standard plays. Including recent suc cesses in New York. The Shuberts do not Intend sending as many large attractions to the Pacific Coast this season as had been antici pated, as their Invasion was made too late in the season to care for all the. houses under contract. - It is on next season that the Shuberts and their Northwestern managers are depending for the big showing. They guaranteed 25 weeks or"attractlons for the Alhambra, in Seattle, and this time has been partiaclly consumed, but since the theatrical season closes in June, there are six months left in which to keep the Portland and Alhambra theaters filled. Hence the stock company. Creditors to Benefit by Lot Sale. Judge Charles E.
