The detectives saw Henry standing outside a resort on First street and noticed a valuable stick-pin in his tie, which seemed out of keeping with the rest of his clothes. In a short time he was Joined by Hartman, and the detectives', after noticing that the lat ter also wore a valuable pin, stepped up and made the arrest. While Henry was being handcuffed Hartman broke away and ran. Leaving Henry in the hands of his partner, Tichenor gave chase and ran his quarry down in the horse market. Seeing that the boy had a chance of escaping, the officer drew his revolver and fired three shots. The explosion startled a bunch of horses, which swung around in such a way as to put Hartman in a pocket, and he was then captured. Departure of Families Noted. The boys freely admitted that they had done a number of daylight burglar ies in this city and gave the officers the addresses as well as thpy could re member. Hartman said that he came here about three weeks ago from Ta coma, in company with Henry. He is a native of Minneapolis but has no fixed abode. Within a few days after their arrival the boys began entering houses. Their plan was to approach a house from which the people appeared to be gone for the afternoon, and after knocking to make sure that no one was inside, enter by the use of a screw driver. Their first job was at 1078 Corbett street three weeks ago. They got four suits of clothing, two suitcases, a watch, three razors and a revolver. The next day John T. Davles, recently arrested and connected with a large number of burglaries and check-forgeries, entered the same house and se cured a large number of valuable ar ticles' of jewelry. The two youths, when told of this yesterday, showed chargrin and tried to make it appear that Davles had preceded them instead of following. Boys Forget Addresses. Within the past three days Hartman and Hunter committed three other burglaries. They were unable to give the detectives the addresses of the places but described them as being at Portland Heights, Council Crest and on Glisan street, respectively.

Arrangements were made yesterday to give a large number of children a jolly time next Monday, July 4. on the public playgrounds In North Port land. Miss Margaret Bradshaw. who has charge of the girls' playground, and Harry T. Smith, who directs the boys' sports, have planned amusements that will entertain the little ones and at the same time probably keep them from the - most dangerous pastime of experimenting with firecrackers and other explosives.

One of the most pleasing features will be a flag drill by 20 little girls, for which they have been practicing for some time.

Mount Tabor people are opposed to the establishment of an outdoor hospital for tuberculosis patients in their midst. They are against the erection of a wooden schoolhouse on the ground purchased on East Ash ahd East Sixtieth streets, pre ferring to wait another year and have a concrete building put up. Resolutions covering both matters were adopted at a general meeting held last night in the assembly hall of the Mount Tabor Sani tarium under the auspices of the Mount Tabor Improvement Association. It was- reported at the meeting that the Mansfield house with about two acres of land has been leased by George W. Turner and Drs. Ray and Ralph Matson, for a tuberculosis sanitarium at the en trance of the new William Park at Mount Tabor, the patients' to use the park as recreation ground. The lease has already been executed for two years. P. P. Dabney made a vigorous protest against the establishments of such a hospital, declaring it would be a menace to the, health of the community and would cause ' depreciation of property. The protest It ay Henry. was adopted and will be sent to the Mayor and Council and also to Dr. Mat son. Dr. Arthur W. Chance, E. O. Mayor and P. P. Dabney were appointed to' look into the law governing such matters. Resolutions were adopted against the erection of four rooms of the new wooden schoolhouse on Easit Sixtieth and East Ash streets. A concrete building is wanted. Architect Bennett said that a reinforced concrete building can be erected for not more than 35 per cent more than a frame structure. He will prepare plans to show concrete is best in the long run. It was the sentiment of the meeting that it will be better to wait another year for a new schoolhouse that have part of a frame structure erected. After the first of the year only fireproof echoolhouses can be erected. A committee of business men headed by J. H. Haak, president, was authorized to see the Board of Education about the matter. . CHAPMAN NOW IN OFFICE Successor to Richardson Takes Desk at Commercial Club. C. C. Chapman, the name that is hereafter in Portland to be synonymous with "boost." will now appear on the letter-heads or the Portland Commer cial Club as its publicity manager. Mr. Chapman yesterday morning formally took charge of the office. One of his first acts was to bring an enlarged photograph of his mother and hang .it up above his desk. This done, he began wading through the morning's mail and in less than no time at all had things going with uni formity and regularity. Tom Richardson, who resigned the position after six years of service, yes terday retired to his ranch in the Tualatin Valley to "rest up." He will return to Portland thi Fall and "try doing something on his own hook,"' as he expressed It. At noon the executive committee met with Mr. Chapman and plans for the ensuing fiscal year were outlined. One plan of campaign in the interest of Portland will be to seek to attract here more National conventions. This work has been neglected, it, was stated, in the past, and unusual efforts will be put forward to secure these conven tions in the future. Not only that, but If it is illogical for some reason for Portland to secure desired conventions, any candidate city on the Pacific Coast will have the support of Oregon forces. "If we don't get them," said Mr. Chapman, "we can see where it will be to the advantage of other Pacific Coast cities to be successful. We will work to that end and will seek to have the official routes arranged that Portland may be included." This plan will be followed out in the Hoo Hoo convention to be held at San Francisco in September. Already correspondence has been started in an effort to have Portland Included in the official route. OWNER GETS LOST VIOLIN Patrolman Sorenson Regains Strad ivarius 300 Years Old. An ancient Stradivarius violin, said to be 300 years old and worth J250. was restored to its rightful owner. Patrolman A. Sorenson, yesterday through the arrest of Eugene S. Ward, a . timberman, who has had it in his possession for more than a year. Sorenson arrested Ward at Fifth .nd Yamhill streets last Thursday, and took him to the police station on a charge of larceny. "Vfard's bond was fixed at $1000 and he pulled the re quired amount from his pocket and put it up. Yesterday when the case was called in court it was dismissed upon request of the prosecution, the matter having been settled out of court. Sorenson loaned the violin to Ward a year ago, and says he has made sev eral demands for it since. Recently, he' says, he learned that Ward had been getting prices placed on it, and he took action.

SIMON'S STAND UNCHANGED City's Executive Maintains That Present Parks Should Be Im proved Before Others Bought. Board 'Will Make Inquiries. Mayor Simon yesterday designated I. Lang, a member of the Park Board, to investigate the" subject of purchasing Council Crest by the city, and asked him to report as to what it may be had for. The question will then be squarely up to the board to decide as to whether it shall be bought. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, one of the mem bers of the board, said that he had been investigating the question some' and had been led to believe that it would cost a large sum, owing to the fact that, as he had been informed, the lease of the Crest U worth $10,000 a year, and runs for 20 years. "My opinion is," said Dr. Wetherbee, "that, if we try to buy the Crest it will have to be done at the point of a pistol, so to speak, as I think the lease holdings will be the basis for an attempted, hold up. Personally, I think the city must eventually own this piece of property, but I am afraid that it will cost a large sum at this time." ' Mr. Lang introduced the subject by saying that, if the city is going to buy the property, it may as well proceed now, or if it is not to be purchased, the question should be settled for all time. Mayor Simon is not favorable to the purchase, on the ground that the city should use the funds at it3 disposal for improvement of other parks that have been acquired. There is a bond issue of $500,000 available, but he does not want to sell the bonds unless it becomes abso lutely necessary. It Is his ambition now to make extensive improvements in the various parks that the board has pur chased before buying any more ground. A proposition that was made at the ses sion of the Park Board yesterday after noon by Councilman Beldipg, to buy a number of acres on the crest of the hill in Fulton Park, is viewed in the same light by the Mayor as is the proposed purchase of Council Crest. Superintendent Mische was instructed to proceed with the construction of the public comfort station in Sellwood Park, to cost $2000, and it was reported that the playgrounds there are being pushed to completion and that they will be fin ished and in operation August 1. The swimming tank will also be built by that time. WORK COURSE EXTENDED FIFTH GllADE TO BE TAUGHT MANUAL TRAINING. School Board Members Seek New Location for Headquarters. " Janitors Named. The Board of Education, which met in regular session yesterday afternoon, decided to extend the manual training course to the fifth grade, to construct shops for this course in the Holman, Kerns, Lents, Ockley Green and Vernon schools, and authorized the employment of four more teachers for this work. Protest of the Mount Tabor Improve ment Association against the construc tion of wooden school buildings in that district was filed, and there is no likeli hood of the members of the board pur suing a different policy at this time on future construction. They consider the frame buildings all right for the purposes. The members of the board are en deavoring to find a new location for headquarters, the City Council having ordered the vacation of the rooms now occupied by the board's headquarters in the City Hall. The rooms are urgent ly needed for the City Attorney, who wishes to move into the municipal building. The finance committee recom mended that rooms in the .Tilford building be rented at once and the headquarters moved, but action was postponed until the next meeting.
