Two suspects whom police detec tives and Seattle officials believe may have been Implicated in the murder of Uobert C. Scott. ex-Portland de tective, at Seattle early Sunday moin Ing were arrested in Portland early latst nixht and are heinsr held incoiu Jmunieado at the city jail. The two mm are Thomas Touns, accd an ex-convict from San Quen tin prison. California, and George Brwn. aged 28. believed to be an ex pert yoRg They were arrested at the Berkeley rooming house. Third and Taylor streets. Upon information received by 'him at Seattle. Sheriff Stringer of Seattle, accompanied by Deputies Hughes, I'.eebe and Vaughn, arrived in Port land early yesterday and enlisted the aid of the Portland police detectives In a close search of all rooming houses and hauirts of drug addicts. The two men under arrest were lo cated at the Herkeley rooming house and the man Brown answers In most particulars the description of the ban dit who murdered Deputy Sheriff .Scott during the early hours of last Sunday morning. Search Reveals Evidence. A Seattle deputy first made a eearch of the room occupied by Young and Brown during their absence and uncovered sufficient evidence to jus tify the police in making an immedi ate arrest. Police Inspectors La galle, Swennes. McCulloch and Schulpius took up the search at this point and waited in the room for the two men. When Brown and Young returned to their room they were met with the command, "Hands up" from the four detectives, who had the pair covered with guns as soon as they entered the door. Brown reached for his own gun, but when Schulpius threatened to shoot if he made another move, he put his hands aloft and submitted to arrest. v Sheriff, Stringer and his three dep uties went at once to police head quarters to examine the two suspects. The three deputies were with Scott when he was murdered. The deputies said that Brown answrs in a general way the description of the bandit whom they surprised in the series of automobile holdups near Seattle the night Soott was murdered, but they did not get an opportunity to have a good look at the bandits at the time or the murder. Two Witnrnnr Summoned. In order to make the identification certain one way or another. Sheriff Stringer last night telegraphed to Se atiie lor two witnesses to coine to Portland this morning ' to examine the two men Under arrest. Scott was murdered with a 41-ea ber revolver of a type and style which went out of existence several years ago. i ne older man, ioung, was carrying a revolver of this exact type when he was arrested here last night. Bullets of the same manu facture and character which were. used In killing Scott were found on the men arrested in Portland. Sheriff Stringer likewise tele graphed to Seattle last night for pho tographs of the shells and bullets used by the bandit who murdered Scott. Tests were made with the gun taken from Clark last night and Photographs will be made this morn ing of the bullets after being fired and of the shells used in the firing tests. Shells May Be Clew. Sheriff Stringer explained that most guns, and especially old weap ons, have some characteristic marks which are generally observable on the shells which have been fired. If the empty shells from the gun used ii murdering Scott show the same char acteristics of the shells taken from the suspects taken into custody last night, the two men will be returned to Seattle, it was said. As they entered the room. Brown was carrying a new burglar's "jim my," which they evidently had taken down town to have sharpened. The "jimmy" was wrapped up in paper as though it had just come from some store. A complete outfit of burglar's tools also was cached in the room. Two new suitcases and numerous articles which the police believe may be loot from other burglaries -were among the effects of the two sus pec.ts. They had only $50 or $60 be tween them when arrested. While being questioned at police headquarters, Young told the detec tives that had he been given a mo mint's warning he would have sho the first man he saw entering the room. 'If you hadn't got the drop on me you would never have taken me ive," he is said to have boasted to La Salle. Young and Brown both admitted they were in Seattle Saturday night, ut refused to talk further concern- ng their past conduct. Young ad mitted he is out on parole from the California prison, where he was serv- ng a life term for the murder of a San Francisco policeman. According to his own statements to the detectives. Young and his twin brother murdered a policeman in San rancisco in 1908. Young was sen- enced to life imprisonment, but was paroled last year, after serving 11 ears. Ills brother was sentenced to rom ten years to life and was re leased in 1918. He said his twin brother is now in Seattle. Young is nearly six feet tall and does not answer the description of the bandit who murdered Scott. California Prlnon Notlfl-d. Police detectives said last night that California prison officials will be avised at once of Young's arrest in Portland, and if he is not returned to Seattle in connection with the pres- nt case, he will be returned to San Quentin as a parole violator. Knowl- dge that his freedom would be taken from him led Young to boast after his capture that he would have en gaged the detectives in a gun fight o death had he been given an oppor- unity to use his gun. loung also sail that Brown is wanted for some serious offense, but refused to reveal anything further oncerning his partners past record. Brown assumed a sullen and defiant ttitude ind refused to answer aues- ions put to him by his captors. Murdered Depnty Hurled. The murdereefdeputy. Robert Scott. was burid yesterday in Multnomah cemetery following funeral services at Holman's chapel. Hundreds of riends of the murdered detective at tended the services and a massive floral wreath was sent here by his fellow deputies In Sheriff Stringer's office at Seattle. Sheriff Stringer spoke in glowine ribute of the work performed bv Scott, who had been employed by him tnce early last fall in running down ewelry robbers in the sound citv. Prior to his going to Seattle. Scott had been a special agent for District Attorney Evans and the late Gov ernor Withycombe in the ferreting out of bootleggers throughout the state. He leaves a widow and two small children, besides a father and brother, an residents or Portland. FERMENTING RAISIN'S FORM BASIS OF CHARGE. Duplex Fireless Stove Cooks the Entire Meal Bakes Roasts and Browns J -its "MIUISTOV, j F Federal Authorities Search With out Success for Still Intended to Manufacture Hard Liquor. A keg filled with fermenting rais ins, hopefully watched by two or more persons, may become the basis of a conspiracy charged under the federal prohibition act, as Gordon Warner of Prineville learned yesterday when he pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $200 n federal court. Gordon Warner, with his father. J. K. Warner, Floyd Warner and Charles Kirschner. were arrested on the charge of conspiring to make wine. when federal officers found a ten gallon keg of raisins seething merrily n the basement of the Warner ranch home, near Prineville. This was several weeks ago. Kirsch ner entered a ijea of guilty and was fined $400. in Tiddition to 20 days in jail. The elder Warner asserted toutly that no harm was intended and that home-made wine was to be the product. The federal authorities would not admit that even this was lawful, and they searched for a sus pected still,- without success, on the tneory mat tne raisin mash was In tended for "hard liquor." The case of J. E. Warner and son r loyd Warner, has been set for April 23. 50,000 ARE ON STRIKE (Continued From First Page. ) N i ing or passing through BuffaJo was announced tonight after a conference of officials of the seven railroads whose yards were tied up today by a strike of switchmen. Milk shipments into the city will be continued and passenger service will be maintained as far as possible, it was said. KANSAS CITY MEN TO GO OUT Three Hundred Vote to Strike at 7 o 'Clock This Morning. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 7. Three hundred switchmen representing every railroad that enters Kansas City, to night voted unanimously to strike at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, it was announced late tonight. Committees were named to notify the remaining members of the Brotherhood of Kail way Switchmen, numbering 4000, of the decision to strike. No brotherhood officers were present. Kansas City Crew Quits. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 7. All switching crews in the Kansas City Southern yards here and part of those in the Wabash yards struck tonight in sympathy with the Chicago strike. Wabash switchmen who left their work said members of the late night shift would not appear for work. VOTERS CAN TAKE BURDEN (Continued From First Page.) this cannot be excused, for the burden would be shifted from the company to the city and the unpaid balance, amounting to $470,000. would then be paid from the public treasury and this would be equivalent to a direct gift from the treasury of such sum. "Future street improvements, free carriage of city employes, franchise and license tax "As to these last Hems there is some doubt as to the legal competencr of the city to excuse the company. Un der the decisions of the supreme court of Ohio the remission of these im posts would be held unlawful. Our Oregon supreme court, on the other hand, we believe, would decide the remission of such Imposts lawful if the record in the case conclusively showed that the imposition of .these charges was either unfair or resulted in some appreciable degree in increase ing the burdens of the car patrons and the prevention of adequate transpor tation service."
