NEW YORK ARRESTED 5 MsmmL Dozen Athletic N I ON JITNEYS TO MAN IS FOUND UNGUARDED f A - - : -s; t :! Superintendent of State Hospital Declares Patient Insane Rel atives Aid la Hiding. Milton Schwartz, ex-Portland and New York degenerate, was arrested early this morning at Mountain View sanitarium following a conference called by Governor Olcott and partici pated in by leading county officials. Schwartz was found unguarded in a bedroom or the second floor with an unbarred window facing a open porch. Governor Comes to Portland Governor Olcott made a hurried dash, to Portland yesterday when he learned that Schwartz was reported to be in hiding In Portland, where he has many influential and wealthy friends, who with his mother, Mrs. Addle Schwartz, were reported to have used every possible effort to prevent his detention or incarcera tion. While Governor Olcott was on the way, his secretary called together to meet at Sheriff Hurlburt's office, the sheriff. District Attorney Evans and others. "Gentlemen," said the governor, "we must arrest this man tonight. As it is he is a possible menace to Oregon children and whatever hap pens not a single Oregon child shall suffer if there is anything the state can do to prevent it." Warrant Is Prepared. Bfforts were made to find Judge Tazwell to issue a warrant, as a com plaint against Schwartz had already been siorned. Judge Tazwell could not be located. but at a. late hour he was found at his home by the governor and Mr. Evans and brought to the courthouse, where he rapidly prepared and signed a warrant. In the meantime Deputy Sheriffs Christof ferson and Schirmer were hastily running down the Portland trails. First the lodging house was found. It was reported the man had been sent to a farm for hiding. That was found not to be the case. Later it was reported he was in hiding in the home of Gus Metzger, whom the man declares Is his uncle, and finally he was traced to the Mountain View sanitarium. Schwartz la Located. There, shortly before 1 A. M., the governor. Dr. Steiner, superintenden of the stae hospital, and the deputies located Schwartz. At first the hospital authorities endeav orcd to put off the arrest till morn inn. but the presence of the governor convinced them there could be no de lay and shortly afterward the man was lodged in the county Jail. Although fashionably dressed, with suit of the most expensive cut, Schwartz was unkempt and unshaven and it did not need more than a first glance of Dr. Steiner to convince h the man was insane. He mumbled to himself at times, yet again could tell a connected story. Parade Viewed In Grandstand. He told, for example, of seeing the filirine parades from a grandstan cat, crowded with young people. "1 have been sick, but I am getting better." he said. He picked his words carefully an from time to time seemed to endeavor to change the subject. Asked regarding his latest Portland escapade, he said "Oh, that was just a little mission ary work." He said he was once an attorney, but broke down trying to make too much money. Obviously, he did not TAC03IA OBJECTS TO ADVANCE IX CAR FARES. to tanchise Will Be Granted Busses If Xecessary, Says Councilman. TACOMA. Wash., June 29. (Spe cial.) That Jitney busses will be out n force immediately on the raising of street car fare to 10 cents,- was the opinion of commissioner Fred Shoe maker today. There was a local association of bus men who offered to put out 15 big busses at once when the street car company made application to the pub lic service committee for 10-cent fare, and I am sure it will be ready to go ahead with the proposition if the fare goes up." he said. In the first jitney rush here, Mr. Shoemaker pointed out the thing was overdone by a host of little cars that, with the S cent fare then prevailing, soon wore their tires out, and killed each other off. Now, the bus men are organized. and the commissioner of safety ex pects the business to be handled by associations, rather than by individ uals, and big modern machines that will hold nearly as many of the one- man street cars, are expected to ap pear. Whether a franchise will be grant ed the busses, or whether they will simply be encouraged by the city. remains to be seen, but if necessary, the city councilmen say they are ready to grant a franchise.
