"7 23 1 J J. ARRESTED E Jail Quarters to Be Turned toll Some Serving in City Jail, Rest Face Grand Jury. Ol I IctllfJUA VV dl U. SHERIFF IS DISPLEASED POLICE SQUAD KEPT BUSY THE MORNTXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1919 ROCKPILE GIVEN HOSITM. DECEMBER 1 1 BPB ii i 'A Y Sir. Hurlburt Cites Congested Con dition or Jail Kelly Butte Opening I Postponed. Kelly butte rockpile will not be opened and criminals In Multnomah county Jail cannot be put to breaking rock for at least four months, by action of city and county commission ers yesterday in deciding to reopen the jail quarters at Kelly butte as an isolation hospital for smallpox cases, pending the construction of a $33,000 contagious hospital by the city. Whether the rockpile. later will be revived is a question, as Sheriff Hurl burt expressed the feeling yesterday that he doubted if he would ever be able to overcome the constant oppo sition which developed at his first proposal to put prisoners on the Kelly butte rockpile last August, flans had slowly materialized so that it was expected to open the rockpile immediately after the first of the year. Hospital IManfi Accepted. flans and recommendations for the construction of a contagious hospital, which were accepted by the city com missioners yesterday, were presented to the city council 18 months ago by City Health Officer Parrish. Con struction will begin as soon as pos sible on a site not yet definitely de termined, but probably on one corner of the 23 acres owned by the county at Kelly butte. It is probable that the quarters at Kelly butte jail can be fitted out for patients within two days, according to Dr. Parrish. They had just been renovated for use as a jail to house the overflow from the county jail and provide quarters for the criminals who were to be employed on the rock pile. The city officials decided to look over the prospective sites more care fully before making final decision and will leave at 10 o'clock this morning with Ralph W. Hoyt. chairman of the board of county commissioners. sheriff Ut-gretn DrciMton. "Though I am thoroughly convinced that .there is no more undesirable place in Multnomah county for sick persons than the jail at Kelly butte rock quarry, I shall not stand in the way if the city believes that is the only one available for smallpox pa tients." commented Sheriff Hurlburt. "I have been trying since August first to establish a rockpile at Kelly Butte where the overflow from the county jail can be taken care of and criminals put to breaking rock as a corrective as well as a healthful measure," he continued. "Continuous opposition has been met wfth and it now appears stronger than I can overcome." For months, the objection to a rockpile took thev form of delays thrown in the way of preparations at Kelly Butte by the county commis sioners. About two months ago. that opposition melted- and plans were made to take care of a jail and crime situation admitted to be serious. Lumber for a new stockade was or dered and ex-service men have been employed before and since the heavy snow in erecting it. Bids were made for a new rotary rock-crusher and opened 10 days ago. Blankets, provis ions and bedding were sent to Kelly Butte jail after a thorough fumiga tion, for the quarters had been used as a pesthouse by the city during the summer and fall. Koekpile Opening I'oHtponed. Use of Kelly Butte as a smallpox isolation ward will postpone all pos sibility of opening the rockpile for at least four months. Meanwhile the county jail is crowded to capacity, with 211 prisoners in cells and cor ridors yesterday. Crushed rock concerns brought much pressure to bear when opening of Kelly Butte was first broached, particularly aa Sheriff Hurlburt in tended to sell the rock to private paving concerns to help pay the county for the operation of the quarry. County Commissioners Hoyt and Murk were openly in favor of the proposal made by the city officials. Commissioner llolman. while not di rectly opposing it. qualified his ap proval by saying Jhat he preferred to leave the matter of Kelly Butte entirely to Sheriff Hurlburt and would favor using the jail for pa-r tients only on hia recommendation. Thougli attractive plans had been drawn for the $35,000 brick and tile, two-story hospital, proposed for Kelly Butte. Dr. Parrish had no idea of the exact location on the county property desired for the hospital, ex cept that it should be distant from the blasting, a 20-pound rock having gone through the roof of the jail quarters last spring. It was then county and city officials decided to make a trip of Inspection to pick out a suitable site, if there was such. '"'' '. ... . .?

It will run until Friday mid night and on Saturday Peggy Hyland will come to the Strand in "The Merry -Go-Round. " A bit of the every-day. near-by world, such as can be duplicated In any American city, and a glimpse into the romance of a tar country, ruled by majestic personages and tra ditions, is portrayed in "The Lost Princess.'' The production as a whole amounts to nothing more nor less than a delightful fairy .tale so modernized that grown-ups so fright fully blase as to make automobiles and airplanes necessary for their thrills can have just as good a time as the youngsters. The Prince Charming of the story lacks the wondrous velvet doublets and the waving hat plumes, but he has instead all the charms of a good, likable American boy. The princess well, that's where the fairy tale runs true to form. She is a princess of royal birth, transformed by an ugly witch under the disguise of po litical unrest into a plain work-a-day girl in far America. How the Prince Charming in his ordinary American business suit woos and wins his princess in disguise is the amaz ing story of "The Lost Princess." Elinor Fair is not new to the screen. Her latest appearance in Portland was In the production of "The Miracle Man," one of the big gest of all recent pictures. Al Ray has, in "The Lost Princess." another role which calls for the enactment of a shy. awkward country boy. who fights against difficulties but who wins through sheer determination and grit. ward, as the aunts of the headstrong Nancy (Miss Thomas). Arthur Housman. who is now play ing in "The Blooming Angel" with Madge Kennedy, has the distinction of having directed three separate scenes for a motion picture while making his first trip in an aeroplane. It happened at Key West, Fla.. while he was taking part in a government film. The scenes were of the kind which cannot easily be refilnied, so it required a cool head and a good memory. But Mr. Housman Is very modest when telling of it. "To tell the truth," he says, "the anticipation was a bigger thrill than the actuality. I got more hair-raising shivers from thinking about it than I did while I was up in the air." Paul Scardon, who is directing the production of Leroy Scott's "Partners of the Night." says that he Is begin ning to believe It is a sheer waste of money to pay extras for taking part in scenes. Night before last,' scenes were "shot" at the Hotel Com modore, New York, from 1 o'clock until daylight, and, of course. Mr. Scardon had a lot of extras there. "But 1 could have got along with out them." he sighed when telling of it. "A lot of the hotel guests came in from the theater and stayed in the pictures. Not only that, but they phoned their friends and they came to see the funf And they wanted to be in the pictures, too thev and their ermine and their diamonds. If we need folks to start at work up at the Goldwyn studio at 8 in the morn ing, I suppose we'll have to pay them, but if. we want men and women, dressed in the latest mode, to work all night, all we've got to do is to let them know when and where."

W. have been arrested In Portland the past month and are now either serving heavy city Jail sentences im posed by Municipal Judge Rossman or are being held to the Multnomah county grand jury under Informations charging criminal syndicalism.
