13 CATTLE RUSTLERS IN JAIL, CONFESS Five Men Captured by Sheriff Office and Police After Long Hunt. VALUABLE STOCK STOLEN Men Admit Operating in Multnomah Washington and Clackamas Counties, Oregon, and In Clark County, Wash. Several months of effort on the part of the Sheriffs office were rewarded yesterday, when five members of a band of cattle rustlers, which r.aa Deen oneratina- since last June in Multno man, Washington and Clackamas coun ties, Oregon, and Clark County, Wash ington were arrested and lodged in the Multnomah County 1 Jail, with hi-? ot irrand larceny against tnem. All have made confessions, detailing the theft of about 60 calves, many of them of blooded stock, which the own ers were raising for breeding pur- noses. The men under arrest are Rube Ep- pers and Frank Jones, express wagon drivers: Dale Clearwater, elevator op erator in the Dekum building; Claude Hodges, of Camas. Wash, brother-in-law of Eppers, and Roy Cox. The first man to be placed under arrest was Eppers, who was picked up at East Thirty-fifth street and Hawthorne avenue by Patrolman aoooh, oi m Police Department, who recognized that a team of horses which -Jie was driv ing attached to a light covered wagon, and the wagon fitted descriptions con tained in a circular distributed from Sheriff Stevens' office a few months ago. Hea Fonad Aaleep. Abbott called Police Captain Keller, whn notified DeDUtv Sheriff Leonard The latter brought Eppers and the team and wagon to the Courthouse. Eppers explained the presence of two dead calves In tne wagon oy Buying that he had purchased them from his mother-in-law, who lives at Camas, wh. A conversation over tne long' distance telephone with the Constable at Camas showed this story to be un true. Koners then broke down partially, and led Deputy Sheriffs Leonard. Hunt er. French and Yeaton to a shack on East Sixty-eighth street on the edge of Sullivan's Gulch, where Hodges and Cox were found asleep. Near by in the gulch the officers discovered where the men had slaughtered tne caives ana burled the heads and entrails. Claude Hodges, who is only a boy. waa Induced by Deputy Sheriff Leonard to confess, and later Eppers admitted his guilt. Jones was found driving an express wagon down town ana Clear water was taken from his elevator in the Dekum building. All confessed. Market ttuotatioaa Followed. It was found that their thefts cor respond identically with complaints which had been received by the Sher iff's office from time to time and by the Sheritrs of surrounding; cunu All these complaints had been riveted together and. as the confessions poured forth. Deputy Sheriff Leonard checked them off. In Cox' possession were found several market lists, clipped from The Orego ntan. He explained that they had kept tab on the market quotations, so as to be certain they secured the best prices. It Is estimated that the gang must have netted between (700 and J900 from the sale of veaL They sold to various meat markets in the city, taking turns at marketing so as to avoid suspicions. They had two teams of horses and two wagons. It was their custom to inter change horses so as to throw officers off the trail. Yesterday morning, how ever, Eppers was driving a white and a bay horse, a team of which the Sher iff's office received description several times from farmers and which was re ferred to in the circular furnished the police. Valuable Calves Stolen. Arthur Grant, living near Linneman Junction, on the Powell Valley road, had a registered Holstein bull calf, tor which he paid $59 when a few days old and which cost him $5 to have reg istered stolen and converted into veal by the" gang. Joe Costa, living near Falrvlew. lost a full-blooded Shorthorn bull calf, which he' bought for 20 when It was a few days old. Joe Multhauf a farmer living mile north of Rockwood, had two pure-bred calves stolen on the night of Septem ber 27. The men have confessed to all these thefts and many others. Mul thauf was so incensed at the- loss of his pet stock that be passed many days and nights In the saddle assisting in the effort to round up the rustlers. Night after night squads of deputy sheriffs of Multnomah and surround ing counties. Constables of small towns end the police had figured that the gang might be out and had scoured the country roads and watched the thor oughfares leading Into the city in hopes of catching them. On several occasions Sheriff Stevens' deputies were hustled out of - bed late at night and went shooting Into the country in an auto mobile on hearing a report that the rustlers' outfit had been seen and rec ognized. Sheriff Stevens made up his mind to catch the calf thieves before he went out of office, as this waa the only kind of depredation being committed in his territory. Just before he left for New York on Thanksgiving day he left strict orders with Archie Leonard, his chief deputy, to stay on the trail, de claring that he wanted to leave every thing cleaned up for his successor.

When new and strong objections were made against the proposed new dance hall ordinance before the health and police committee of the City Coun cil veoterdav. hope of passing the measure in it original form waa given j up and a committee was appointed to revise it. An attempt will be made to frame a measure which will regulate the public dances which are now being run almost wholly under the guise of clubs or society dances, but which wIU not affect the dances conducted by or ganizations which are not organized exclusively for dancing. The commit tee to draft the measure comprises Waldemar Seton, Gus C. Moser and Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin. When the measure came up for con sideration before the health and po lice committee yesterday serious ob jection was made to the feature pro viding an inspector with authority to visit any danoe regardless -of its char acter or the class of people attending. Councilman Watkins declared there was no need for such inspection and that an inspector at social dances not of a public nature would be obnox ious. Other members of the commit tee and City Attorney Grant were of the opinion that it would not be pos sible to make the ordinance applicable to one class and not to another unless the term public dance should be ap plied, In which all dances Including benefits at which admission Is charged would come under the class of public dances. . . Objection was made by Waldemar Seton to the appointment of an inspec tor, it being his opinion that the police department should do the work of inspecting. The same opinion was ex pressed by others.

Unless I It can be remodeled to meet the numer ous obiectlons it is likely it will be sent to the Council by the health and police committee with recommendation that it be voted down. This action is desired by two members of the com mittee already on the ground that un der the present system there are no strictly public dances and that the pas sage of an ordinance would legalize them. RIGHT-OF-WAY - SUIT ENDS Telegraph Company Stops Fight on Adverse Ruling. When Judge Bean decided a ques tion of the admission of evidence yes terday afternoon in the condemnation suit of the Transcontinental Telegraph Company against the. Northern Pacific Railway Company, It came to a sudden end by the formal dismissal of the suit. The plaintiff, which Is the successor of the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company, asked In Its complaint for tne condem nation of a right of way for its poles and lines from Portland to Goble, along the right of way of the defendant com pany, and that a Jury fix the amount of damages that the plaintiff should pay for this right. It was contended by the plaintiff that the damages should be estimated according to the space occupied and no punative or dan ger damages could be considered in the estimates submitted and to be decided by the Jury. This contention was based on a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, but which Judge Rpan rlid not interpret according to the ideas of the attorneys for the plain tiff's counsel. When this ruling was made a recess was asked for and wires passed between the local attorneys of the plaintiff and its head legal minds in Nw York with the result that an order came directing the dismissal of the suit. A similar suit between tne same plaintiff and the Southern Pacific Com pany resulted in a veruici lor me De fendant for $60,000. but the right of way has not been taken advantage of, the condemnation proceedings not Do ing compulsory on the plaintiff to ac cept. Before the dismissal of the present suit the testimony indicated, under the ruling of the court, that the right -oi wav for the poles and lines of the plaintiff would be worth about J50,- 000.

Would Win, Made Presi--. dent Lose . State. The report of the camapign expenses of the Progressive state central com mittee, filed with the Secretary of State, contains a number of interesting items. It shows that this committee was much better equipped financially than was either the Republican or the Democratic state central committee. Th a exnnnriitures of the Republican committee were less than J4800, and of the Democratic committee aDout jfiKnn while the Bull Moosers report actual disbursements of $10,273.60, be sides having other outstanding bills, still unpaid, amounting to $1021.40. Considering the fact that the Bull Moosers had such a strong lead in the primaries, and that they had more than twice as much money as the Repub licans with which to finance the cam paign. Republicans are not surprised that there is so mucn rKramiiuuu among the leaders of the party over the meager results. In the Republican primaries last Spring in a total of 71,000 votes cast the combined opposition to Taft had a majority of 31.000. In the ensuing No vember campaign the Republican State Committee cut this adverse lead down to 3000, and If the Taft Republicans had not gone over in such great num bers to Wilson in order to be sure of beating Roosevelt Republican leaders declare Taft would not only have beat en the Bull Moose nominee, but would have carried the state against Wilson. Many leading Republicans believe that at least 10,000 Taft Republicans In Ore gon voted for Wilson. Desertions to Wilson Blamed. " It was this and this alone that gave the state to Wilson, Republican leaders say, ana put Roosevelt second on the list, instead of third. It was this same action by panlc-trlcken Taft Repub licans that deprived Republicans of Oregon of membership on the election boards in the next election. The Democratic chairman predicted that Roosevelt would lead Taft 10,600. Dr. H. W. Coe declared Roosevelt would lead Taft by 28,000, and Bull Moose Chairman Brown declared Roosevelt's majority would be 20,000. When in the face of all these discouraging condi tions and discouraging prophecies it developed that Roosevelt led Taft by only, 3000 votes, and that Taft Repub licans alone were responsible for Taft's failure to carry the stato, it is not difficult to understand why the man agers of the Bull Moose campaign are being blamed for such meager results, especially when they had twice as large a campaign fund at their disposal as the Republican committee had. The Bull Moose report shows that $5629.93 of their campaign fund was sent to Oregon by their National com mittee. It appears that the local com mittee used a portion of this money in sending out 280,000' circulars to the voters of the state. The Republican state committee, on the other hand, was so short of campaign funds' that it could distribute only 30.000 local campaign circulars altogether. The Roosevelt meeting, it appears, cost more than $500. Salaries Not All Paid. Dr. Coe received $40 for expenses. Elmer B. Colwell was paid $75 in wages. Sanfleld McDonald was paid $457. George Arthur Brown $500 and L. M. Lepper $460, and it appears from the list of unpaid liabilities that $50 each is still due to Brown and Lepper. For advertising The Oregonlan re ceived $58.94. the Journal $16.95, the Telegram $33.50, the Nachrichten $25. the Staats Zeitung $200 and the Port land Dally News $542.65. The vote for Roosevelt was far bet ter than that for the local Bull Moose candidates, Indicating that, aside from Roosevelt personally the Bull Moose party is a negligible quantity. A, E. Clark, the candidate for United States Senator, got less than 12,000 votes out of a total of 140.000 cast in the state. The only two Multnomah candidates who were known as clean-cut Bull Moosers were I M. Lepper and C. W. Ackerson for State Senator, and they were beaten by a vote of more than 2 to 1 by I. N. Day and Gus C. Moser, whom the Bull Moosers refused to in dorse. Mr. Moser declared himself for Taft unequivocally from the start and he beat Roosevelt himself In Mult nomah County by about 4000 votes. The vote of about 7000 for Mr. Lep per and Mr. Ackerson is taken by Re publicans as evidence of the weakness of the Bull Moose party in Multnomah County. In the state at large even Roosevelt, who is personally many thousand votes stronger than the Bull Moose party, polled several thousand less than 25 per cent of the registered vote of the state. An analysis of the situation, aver Republicans, Indicates that everybody ha3 overestimated the actual strength of Roosevelt and with out him the Bull Moose party would not be considered a real factor In the politics of the state. Under the circumstances Repub licans Insist the Bull Moose State Cen tral Committee should not be censured tor accomplishing so little with the liberal campaign fund which was placed at its disposal.

Henry, in a suit filed yes terday in Circuit Court, demands judg ment for $21,715.33 against Edith- F. Goode. widow of H. W. Goode, a former president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The first cause of action fs on a 60-day note for $16,000 executed by Mrs. Goode in Mr. Henry's favor on March 6. 1912. The plaintiff states that Mrs. Ooode has paid interest on this to November, but "has failed and refused" to pay the prin cipal. The plaintiff further asserts that he looked after the construction oX a six story concrete warehouse for Mrs. Goode on property at the southwest corner of Sixth and Couch streets, and that later he leased the structure to Henry Jenning & Sons at a rental which will aggregate $84,000, or, in other words, $1400 a month. He wants 2 per cent of the cost of the building, on which he states $126,500 was ex pended, and 2 per cent of $84,000 as his commission for securing a tenant. Independence to Get Theater.

BRIDGE AFPROACHES URGED Councilman Jennings Suggests Over head Crossings on East Side. n ' . i 1.1. ,.11, Vio- k councilman jenjimso i -" fore the East Side Business Men's Club Thursday night urged that steps be taken to provide overhead crossings at least on East Morrison street as soon as possible. He pointed out that with the railroad developments In progress and in prospect for the near future the dan ger to the public will be on the in crease. Already, he said, passing trains cause great delay to streetcars and other traffic, but declared this small at present compared with what it will be when the North Bank line gets its terminal facilities on East Morrison street. ' ; ' Mr. Jennings said that the majority of the people of Portland already live on the East Side, and more are com ing there, so that the problem of get ting to the bridges will soon become a serious one, especially to the East Side. According to the speaker the only solution of this problem Is to elevate the streetcar lines and team traffic on the main streets leading to the bridges. He urged the club to take the matter up at once before tho railways con struct their terminals.

Thirsty Women Who Order Only That With Brinks Cause Suit. In place of the ham sandwich which, as the sole constituent of a "meal" In second-class grill rooms, has been a cause of legal pondering ever since the present liquor ordinance was adopt ed, beans, in small quantities, are now being served to thirsty women. For doing, so, Charles Bastion, an employee at the Pittsburgh Grill. Sixth and Stark streets, was arrested yesterday by Patrolmen Sherwood and Miller, on a charge of violating the liquor ordi nance The question, what constitutes a meal for liquor-selling purposes, has been before the courts intermittently for' a long time, and it was only a short time ago that Judge Gantenbein had the last word in deciding that a ham sandwich was not the sort of a repast contemplated by the law makers. Now the question Is to be threshed out again over the plate of beans. The officers reported that they found eight women in the place, all drinking, and with no other food in sight than the beans. The ordinance provides that a meal shall be deemed such quantity ana quality of food as Is ordinarily served by hotels and res taurants as such. The Pittsburgh Grill was formerly known as Tlce's place and has been an offender before on this point. It was In a case involving its former propri etor that the sandwich question was fought out to a conclusion. J. H. Krall was arrested twice within a few days for selling liquor witn sanawicnes ana upon appeal was ' reconvicted and fined $100. The advantage at stake is the profitable business of selling li quor to women, who, under the pres ent ordinance, cannot obtain it in any public place without oroerlng a meal. LAND SHOW REPRODUCED Features of Late Exhibition, Includ- ' ing Harrman Numbers, Shown. A review of one of the most enter taining days of the recent Land Show in Portland is given in the O.-W. R. & N. films of the "Harrlman day" festiv-itles-at the big show, which were pro duced at the People's Theater last night. The especially attractive feature of the film Is the reproduction of the parade of Harrlman employes through the streets of portiana Deiore tney vis ited en masse the show building on the East Side. All of the stunts of . the Daereant are reproduced with striking clearness and the appearance in the pa rade of well-known local business men makes the film especially interesting to Portland people. When the cage In which the officials of the company were hauled through the streets In the parade, was snown, the audience applauded to the accom paniment of prolonged outbursts of laughter, which were redoubled when the same officials were showji scram bling out of their cage after the arrival ot the pageant at the Land Show. The part of one film showing the board of governors of the Land Show is also of considerable local interest, affording as it does excellent portraits of several of the leading men of Port land. The film closes with a series of the most striking exhibits that were assembled at the. Land Show. PATRONS' RECEIPTS ASKED City Attorney Flies Motion In Light ' Company Action. In an effort to require the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company to observe the provisions of the 60-cent minimum gas and electric service or dinance if the company loses the suit now before the United States District Court, City Attorney Grant yesterday filed a motion in the case asking that the company be required to give re ceipts to persons for light bills paid in excess of the 60-cent rate. A mo tion was also filed asking for the dismissal of the case. In filing the motion Mr. Grant said he considered It proper for the com pany to comply with the ordinance provided it is found by the court to be legaL He said he did not want the company to tie up the question In the courts for a long period for the pur pose of getting out of establishing the new rate. By giving receipts Grant says the company can be required to pay the amounts paid In excess of the rate fixed by the ordinance, if the city wins the case. Fish Canneries Make Changes.

GOVERNMENT'S WORK TOLD New Book Full of Interesting Infor mation Reads Like Novel. I To fill a bool with a ffreat mass of facts about the Federal Government, having- them so accurate that the highest officials of the land can vouch for. them, and at the same time weaving them Into a story that compels the close attention of the reader, is conceded to be a difficult undertaking:. But in this new book, "American Government," Frederick J. Haskin has demonstrated that this can be done. He has dug down to the bottom of the activities of the Government, and has shown a remarkable discrimina tion In selecting- the material that is representative and Illuminative. It would require a dozen volumes to tell the story of the Government at worK, but Mr. Haskin has so selected his material that the person who reads this one volume wHl get as much in formation as If he had read every book on the Government , In the Public Li brary, and as much entertainment as If he were reading the beBt novel of the year.
