GIRL LURED FROM HOME, IS THEORY Sheriff Thinks Miss Metcalf Enticed by False Promise to Find Sweetheart. ERROR CLEWS RUN DOWN Officer at Rosetmrg Belie-res I -ass Taken to San Francisco or Port land Klamath Falls Sus pect Explains, Released. ROSEBURG. Or.. June 2. (Special.) That pretty Ethel Metcalf who yes terday was Induced by an unidentified man to leave her home at Oakland, Or., has been lured to Portland or San Francisco, under the pretense of meeting- her former sweetheart. F. O. Gray, is the belief of Sheriff Quine. who has worked continuously on the case since It was reported early yesterday. Today's developments brought forth many false clews. One reply received by the Sheriff in response to a hun dred or more telegrams sent to dif ferent parts of the Northwest late last night was a message from the sheriff of Klamath County who said he had noticed a strange woman on the streets of Klamath Falls who answered the description sent out from this city. Bhe was taken in custody but later of fered a plausible explanation and was released. Although Conductor Parrish. In charge of the train that carried the couple south from Roseburg, maintains that the couple were still in one of the Pullman cars when the train reached Ashland, other persons claim they alighted near Wilbur. Douglas County, and took passage on another train bound for Portland. Sheriff Quine entertains the theory that the runaways are bound for San Francisco. This theory, the Sheriff says, is substantiated in a letter which passengers claim was handed to Miss Metcalf by her companion as the train seared Roseburg. According to the best Information this letter was ad dressed to the "Antlers." San Fran cisco, ins the Sheriffs belief that the man Intended to leave the train be fore reaching San Francisco and gave the letter to the girl that she might receive attention from her companion s accomplices. Both San Francisco and Portland of ficers have been asked to keep a sharp lookout for the couple. It Is said tonight that Federal offi cers will be asked to assist In the search.

Members of th State Tax Commission are not altogether satisfied with the .AB inittatfnn nf a measure bv the Oregon Equal Taxation League, which has lor its purpose me pei maucM. o.uu imTi of sinKle tax or single tax schemes In the state. Members of the Commission are nt so much opposed to the bill itself as they are to xne inumuu ... ..aMi- which, their fear. will Jeopardize the chances of the four . i . 1 4nmm1aafnn and bills prepareo. uy m the legislative committee. Included in the amendments is one i .) r.nAai thA pnuntv tax mat wuuiu - ------ - nm-ndment "which was passed by the people in 1910, and by such a repeal would effectually do away with the single tax bugbear. ; Evidently there will be a multipli city of tax measures on the ballot. Starting off with these four, as pro posed by the committee, and three con stitutional amendments which were re ferred to the people by resolution of the Legislature, there is also the U'Ken sin gle tax plan, as well as the anti single tax bill, with a possibility of other tax measures. Members of the Tax Commission are afraid that the people, when wading through such a tangle of tax measures will become so muddled that they will cut and slash to the right and to the left and that all of the measures will go down to defeat. Their film is to re duce the number of tax measures. They state that the taxation measures which were proposed by the commission carry out a progressive and complete entity toward rational tax reform, without the radicalism of the single tax, but, they assert, they represent a sane pro gression. ' They hope that some of the other taxation measures proposed will fall by the wayside because of lack of signers. i Fourth' celebration will be a baby show with four cash prizes for the prettiest babies in.
