THE MORNING OREGONTAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1920 '. 1 ; 1 ElEf'JGE OF Will FOUND IN DEATH Rosebuds, Blood and Bit Gray Cloth Clews. CA of STRANGE MAN DESCRIBED DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION TO BE COVERED FULLY FOR READERS OF THE - OREGONIAN. Mystery of Disappearance of Harry Dubinsky Yet Unsolved Many Theories Propounded. Evidence of a woman's presence In the death car and a description of tho man who parked it at Eleventh and Burnside streets Sunday after noon were the only new clewa found by the police yesterday in their at tempt to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Harry Dubinsky, whose for-hlre car, soaked with blood, was found deserted Sunday afternoon. The outskirts of the city, particu larly the. 1st. Johns district, wera scoured by the police automobile squad yesterday in search for the young man's body and harbor police have been instructed to watch for it In the river. The only clew to which detectives attach any value is the description of the men who parked the car at Elev enth and Burnside streets. . Accord ing to K. H. Ireland, a salesman for the Manley Auto company, a man about 25 years of age, weighing about 150 pounds, and dressed in a gray checked suit and straw hat, drove the car to Eleventh and Burnside streets, slapped out, looked all around, glanced at the rear of the car, and walked rapidly away, going couth on Kleventh street. A small piece of gray cloth, looking as if It might have been torn from a man s suit, was found by detectives in the bottom of Cubinskyy's car, supporting Ireland's testimony. Red Rom Bads Found. Belief that one or more women oc cupied Uubinsky's car late Saturday night followed the discovery of a red rosebud, torn short from its stem and trampled underfoot, in the car near the right-hand front door. Another rose"bud, of a pinkish white variety, was found in the bottom of the car in front of the left rear seat, and rose petals were scattered on the sidewalk where the "man in the gray suit" stepped out. Iubinsky s auto, a seven-passenger touring car, was purchased new only two weeks ago. and this fact led to the first suspicion that- something was wrong. Employes of the Manley Auto company were surprised that euch a new car should have such low license number. On looking more closely, they discovered that the front license tag was missing altogether. Then they reported the matter to po lice headquarters. The license tag hung on the rear of Dubinsky'a auto showed In the register as one issued to W. W. Mar.r cy 932 South Ivanhoe street, who operates a woodsaw mounted pn an auto truck. The tag had been stolen from his woodsaw, which had been idle at his home in the St. Johns dis trict for several days, while Marcy was confined to his bed with Illness. Policeman's Igll Val. Patrolman Taylor, who wag In structed from' police headquarters to look into the matter of the auto with the wrong tags, watched the car from a distance for several hours, waiting for the thief to come back for it. No one came, however, and at 10:30 P. M. Sunday he approached the car, looked in and found the floor of tho tonneau and the upholstery drenched with blood. The car was taken to ths police station and arrived there just as Sam Dublnsky, younger brother of the missing man, reached the station to notify the police of Harry's non appearance) at home. He had been away from home since 8 o'clock Sat urday evening and the younger broth er said that never before in the 11 years of the family's residence in Portland had Harry stayed out all nisht. The Dublnsky family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Dublnsky, their daughter Rosie and sons Harry, Sam and Meyer, came to Portland 11 years go from Russia. Harry worked as a newsboy for five years and was a familiar figure at Third and Morrison streets. He operated a jitney for time and recently wae employed by the Universal Film company as chipping clerk. Missing Man Described. He is described by acquaintances as a "poor mixer," being quiet and reticent and too Industrious for jovi ality. His brothers knew of no girls with whom he had associated with any regularity. He was drafted in the last call, but was rejected after his appearance at Camp Lewis be cause of his short stature. He had no regular stand for his for-hlre car, but usually took his position at Sixth and Washington streets when there was a vacant space there. Police detectives who are working en the case aro unanimously of the opinion that Dubinsky was murdered fcy a passenger in his car. The night clerk at SI Rich's cigar store at Sixth and Washington streets reported that Harry Dubinsky was in the cigar store at 12:43 o clock Sunday morn ing, received a telephone call -at that - time, got into his car and drove away. No one has been found who saw waat fares he picked up on his last trip, That robbery could have been the motive for the supposed crime is con sidered doubtful. Dubinsky was dressed modestly, wore no jewelry be yond a stick' pin worth S3 or S4. and had only about $20 or S30 when he n4ia)wajjW pt V v 't :t :: . - : W IP, 111 f". i '" 7l 1 1 1 S (Ltf l) jau F:S J MONTAGUE) THIRD PARTY CLOUD WORR ES DEMOCRATS Wreck Visioned In Proposed La Falleite Flier.

The only quarrel that has reached the ears of his fam ily was a slight business disagreement- with a former partner with whom he purchased an auto. He sold out his partnership In this car when he bought hi new one two weeks ago. " TVo Theories Advanced. The story of Harry Dubinsky's dis appearance, as well as it can be pieced together from the bits of evi dence secured, runs thus: Dubinsky left Sixth and Washington streets at 12:45 o'clock Sunday morning and picked up one or more passengers, one at least of whom was a woman. Fifteen hours later a man in a gray suit left the empty car at Kleventh and Burneide streets. Two theories were held by the po lice last night as being the most plausible of the many propounded. ooin assume mat a man and woman were the passengers. One theory is that Dublnsky Interfered in a quarrel between the man and woman or an attempted attack by the man upon the woman, and was killed for his chivalry. The other is that the crime of murder or something equally seri ous was committed upon the woman. and that Dubinsky was struck down to prevent his telling. With either of these theories the theft of a license tag from a wood saw in St. Johns flits in as an attempt on tne part of the assassin. to disguise the identity of the car, as does the return of the Dubinsky car to the down-town business district to throw pursuers oft the scent. auimhT elect officers DEAX "WEBSTER PRESIDENT OF REED ORGANIZATION. CEDfiRS CLAIMS SETTLED CONFERENCE ACTS ON CITY'S BILLS AGAINST STATE. Board of Health Will Approve Pay ing $5082 and $5086 "Will Go to Legislature. The controversy between state and city officials over claims presented by the city against the state board of health for the care of state pa tients at the Cedars, were settled yesterday at a conference between Secretary of State Kozer, City Com missioner Mann and H. F. Mclnturff, attorney for the state health board. Under the agreement reached at the conference, the state board of health, will forward a bill to the state legis lature for $5086 to cover the care of state patients at the Cedars up to March 1, 1919. Another bill for $5082 for the care of patients subsequent to that date and ui to June I, 1920. will be passed by the state board of health at its next meeting, scheduled next Monday, and will be paid by the secretary of state without delay. Tho claims against the state at first totaled about $15,000, but were re duced to about $10,000 after the ac counts had been checked at the conference. OLD SURVEYOR IS DEAD entered a plea of guilty. They were sentenced to one year each In the state penitentiary.- In passing the sentence Judge An derson explained that the object of sentencing anyone to the penitentiary was for reformation and that in his opinion the shortsen tence in this case would serve the "purpose as well as a longer one. When the brothers were arraigned before the court a number of citizens asked clemency on account of Fred erlck being blind. In answer to these pleas Judge Anderson Bald that they would have no effect on him in the sentence, but In bis own opinion clemency would be right.

They admitted that the fire was started in order to collect the insurance on their stock and a short time before the fire $1000 had been added to the insurance. Part of the stock of musical instruments had been shipped out of town just before the fire. MR. WARREN QUITS CHAIR FISH COMMISSIONER RESIGNS AS HEAD OP IJOARD.

Place as Commissioner Will Be Re tained in Spite of Business and Family Illness. Frank ' M. Warren, of the Oregon state fish commission, tendered his resignation as chairman of that body at yesterday's meeting. Chris Schmidt of Astoria was elected to succeed him. Mr. Warren assigned as his reason for relinquishing the chairmanship the illness ot his broth er and the further fact that since he has just been elected chairman of the Port of Portland commission, he can not spare the time necessary to head the fish commission. Mr. Warren however, will continue as a member of the fish board. The fish comraii, ion consists of Messrs. Warren Schmidt and Charles Hall, the latter f Coos Bay. Mr. Warren was a member of the state fish and game commission until the 1920 session of the legislature divided the commission into two de partments, one for the sportsmen and he other for the commercial fishing nterests. When this reorganization was made Mr. Warren was selected as chairman of the fish commission He was elected to the commission it' elf by the legislature, together with Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Hall.

Washington gives the fullest credence to the re port emanating from Chicago . last night that a third party will be formed. That the ticket will be headed by Senator Robert M. La Fol- lette. is accepted as true, but there are differences of opinion as to the vice-presidential candidate. Chicago reports said that Frank P. Walsh, former head of the commis slon on industrial relations and co author of the so-called "I. W. W Bible," is to be chosen for second place on the ticket, but this is doubt ed. While Mr. Walsh would make strong appeal to radical labor and the Bein Felners. it is pointed out that the La Follette candidacy would reach all of those elements and that some one must be found for second place on the ticket who could garner In some of the liberal republican votes. La Follette and, Walsh could not do this because La Follette no longer has any following among republicans and his name is anathema to all loyal supporters - of the party of Lincoln. This was indicated "clearly at the na tional convention, where the name of La Follette . never - failed to bring boos, hisses and cat-calls from almost every throat in the Coliseum exeept the 24 radical delegates from Wis consin, who .were responsible for men tion of him on every ballot. Borah as Mate Sagffeslrd. "Walsh could not appeal to repub licans because he has always been known as a hard-boiled democrat. whatever he may be now. It Is there fore believed that an effort will be made to induce Senator Borah to take the second place on the ticket be cause of the fact that he might be able . to draw away from the party those voters calling themselves re publicans who went into the pri maries of the large indu-trlal centers and rolled up winning majorities for Hiram Johnson. Whether Borah would accept is an other matter, because the senator from Idaho is a wily politician who does not take any long chances where his own personal Interests are at stake. Republicans see nothing to fear in the nomination of such a ticket. It is pointed out that a third party espousing the principles of La Follette and Walsh could harm only the democrats and that it would be particularly disheartening to'the lat ter party should William Gibbs. Mc Adoo be nominated at San Francisco. It is asserted that there is no doubt that business men large and small are fixed in their intention to sup port the republican party this year. whether the ticket named in Chicago suits them or not. Interviews with business men and traveling representatives of business houses on trains returning from Chi cago revealed a unanimity of senti ment for the republican ticket, whether the nomination of Harding was satisfactory or not, the- reason being general displeasure with the Wilson administration and the con fident belief that extension of demo cratic tenure means encouragement to socialism. Fight to Be on Issues. It is agreed that the campaign will be fought on issues rather than, can didates. The nomination of Governor Coolidge for second place on the re publican ticket has made the issue clear between the two parties, espec ially If McAdoo is chosen By the democrats, because the McAdoo hope rests in the Plumb plan league and its radical allies. The republican declaration against government ownership of railroads lays down the issue which McAdoo must meet, political observers say, and if he declares for government ownership the country will be told by republican orators that govern ment ownership of railroads is only the first step toward the Russian system of nationalizing everything operated in the interest of the public. Agriculture, it will be argued, is just a3 . much a basic industry as the transportations systems, because everybody consumes food, and that if Mr. McAdoo proposes to have the govcrnmen take over the railroads or wishes to turn them over to bo con trolled by the workmen who operate the trains, it might be well to ascer tain the ultimate -end of his policy. The same theory could extend na tionalization to every other industry, it is contended. Coolidge's name on the ticket creates for the republican campaign the slogan of law and order, and the Announcement Due to the immense crowds which Ye Oregon Grill will be called upon to accommodate during Shrine Week, the cus tomary dinner and evening hour Dancing will be temporarily discontinued.

McAdoo Will Be Queried. Jt is taken, for granted that McAdoo will be nominated by the democrats and, it is declared, he will be called upon to say whether his policy or settling strikes by surrendering everything to the railroad workmen as he did when director-general of the transportation systems, is the one which he would purpose to follow as president. When William Randolph Hearst Tailed to announce himself today with reference to the democratic choice at San Francisco, It was Immediately supposed that he was biding his time with a view to getting behind a third party. He had said that if the re publican party failed to nominate Hiram Johnson he would show im mediate interest in the democratic convention. This was taken to mean that he would begin at once to boom Champ Clark for the democratic nom ination just as he sought to force Johnson onto the republican ticket. Hearst was silent today, however, and this was interpreted as meaning that he was busy on his threatened third party venture. Johnson, of course, is his first choice as disclosed many times during the- last week, but Johnson's friends here say the Cali fronia senator will never lead a third party movement.
