10 THE MORNING OREGON! AN. MONDAY. JULY 26, 192Q- GIRL COUNTERFEITER BIDS JAIL GOOD-BYE Sentence Ended, "Hereafter I Go Straight," She Says. NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS HUSBAND IS FUGITIVE Tretty 2 2 -Year-Old Dorothy Riley Leaves for South; Escaped Mate May Be Met. "It's a losing game. You may -win for a time, but in the end your luck can't hold. No matter what your in vestment may be. when the game's over you can't hope to cash in any thing but sorrow and grief and tears. I'm still young and have a long life before me, and hereafter I am going straight. You can bank on that." There was just a trace of a tear in the eves of pretty 22-year-old Doro thy Riley, expert counterfeiter, as she bade good-bye to the matron and jailers at the county jail and permitted a relative to bundle her into a taxicab. She left on an early morning south bound train yesterday for Oakland, 'Cal., where she plans to start life mow she had just completed a sen tence of nine months' imprisonment -Mnitnnmah county jail for counterfeiting, on which charge she pleaded guilty in federal court last October. Uullty Pleas Entered. VThen secret service operatives last summer arrested John Riley and his pretty bride Dorothy as counterfeiters one of the strongest and most active counterfeiting gangs in the west was broken up. After defying the government op eratives for several months the two Klleys suffered a change of heart and entered pleas of guilty just as they were to face a federal jury. Another member of the gang also pleaded guilty when he learned that the chain of evidence was so strong there was no hope of escaping punishment. The young wife's intense love for her husband was one of the remark uble features of the arrest and sub sequent confinement of the pair in the county jail. This almost insane in fatuation became pronounced at times In the courtroom during me prelimi nary stages of their court hearings. Riley was sentenced to a term of vears in the federal prison at Mc Neil's island, but after he had been imprisoned for several months he made his escape and is now a fugitive form justice. County jail attaches said yesterday that in their minds there is little doubt but that Dorothy Riley is going south in the hope of soon meeting her husband. News travels vith lightning-like speed through underworld channels and it is considered a cer tainty that both Riley and Mrs. Riley have been kept in close touch with each other's whereabouts. filrl Docile Trlsoner. But if the girl is en route to meet her husband, her actions or words have never betrayed her in the least. She has been one of the most docile and exemplary woman prisoners ever confined in the Multnomah county jail, the matron and jailers said. During the last few months she has busied herself in her cell with ex tensive sewing and has also made a goodly little sum of money by wash ing clothes for the male prisoners. When the men in the county jail were informed that the girl wanted an opportunity of making a little money for emergencies when she should be released, she was given more washing than she could hardly handle, and during recent weeks she has worked many hours daily, wash ing and ironing and mending. Husband's Record ation-Wlde. Riley, her husband, has a nation wide record as one of the most able counterfeiters i.i the business. The girl's stepmother also is a counter feiter with a prison record. It was when Riley and the girl's stepmother banded together in a recent counter feiting plot that she met the man who is now her husband. It is said she was led easily and quickly into the underworld life and became an accomplished accomplice in their op erations. It was when Riley and his young wife invaded Portland with their coun terfeiting plant and "queer" money that they ran afoul of the law. They were arrested in a Fifth-street apart ment, where a part of the counter feiting plant was located. Later they were identified as the persons who had passed the spurious coins on local merchants. They came to Portland early last summer from California by automobile and left a trail of counter feit coins in their wake all through California and Oregon. Hippodrome. i SENSATION on the new bill at k. the Hippodrome is William O'Clare and a quartet of charming cultured maids who sing rtisn melo dies. The act is refreshing and high- class in every essential. Mr. O'Clare has an excellent tenor voice of lyric quality and of unusual range. He sings easily and puts a personal equa tion In his songs. A fascinating girl who is not programmed sings with him in a series of yodeling effects which so electrify- and delight that the singers are recalled again and again. This same pretty maid dances! a sprightly specialty of modernized Irish steps and makes herself a warm favorite. One other of the girls is heard as a soloist and her voice is a beautiful high-soaring soprano. The fair girls are picturesque in Irish cos tumes and tread a few gay measures occasionally. A note of novelty is added when O'Clare brings in a pack age wrapped in canvas and with one or two movements transforms it into a mclodeon on which he proceeds to play accompaniments to the songs. The cheery good humor and sundry joke exchanges add further interest. Charles O. Rice is a cold weather lad and all done up in a mackinaw and ear-muffs he hauls Ruthie Francis in on a big sled, while sleigh bells jingle and a thermometer of giant size registers Charles' affections for Ruthie. She is a splendid dancer and her stpps are varied and clever. Charles sings and comedes and to gether they provide fun. Al Friend and Sam Downing are a likable pair who sing new parodies and exchange observations which pro voke hilarity. The Clara Theodoros trio have a novel and spectacular exhibition in gymnastic art that compels interest. One of the trio adds comedy with his clever pantomime and the other man performs amazing acrobatic and ath letic feats while suspended from Miss Theodoros wrists. A rattling good rapid-fire comedy turn is sponsored by two athletic lads, William Donahue and Lew Flet cher, who exchange jokes while they are putting across a series of excel lent acrobatic maneuvers. The photo drama is for grown-ups and is a study in social economics, featuring J. War ren Kerrigan. This bill closes on Wednesday night. The Oaks. THOUGH Campbell's American con cert band is making a hit at the Oaks ' Amusement park. Miss Dorothy Daphne Lewis, a Portland girl, well and favorably known on the vaude ville and concert stage, proved her self a delightful added attraction at the park yesterday in two concerts, afternoon and evening. Her selec tions and encores were received by the thousands with prolonged ap plause. The band's selections were even better than had been set in previous programmes, the march "At the Shrine of the Rose," by Francis Rich ter, being especially well received. "Colonel Whiffle" by W. F. Burrill and "The American Patrol" by Meach em drew especial mention and favor able applause at the evening concert. Percy Campbell, director of the band, announced that next Thursday evening he would programme a grand military fantasia, "Reminiscences of the Boys, in Blue" by Rollinson. At the evening concert Saturday, Mrs. Irene Alleman, soprano, who has been the soloist-of the organization from the commencement of their present engagement, was presented by the band with a beautiful cameo lavalliere entwined with tiny pearls. LULE BURGAS ABJECTIVE GREEK TROOPS ARE LASDIXG AT DEDEAGATCH, I CAPITOL. POLITICS-. POT BEGINS TO BOIL Candidates for Governor Wheel Into Action. FIGHT IS ON PRINCIPLES Senator Edward T. Coman Relies ou Debates, J. A. Gellatly on HOSPITAL RAISES 564,000 HAHNEMANN BUIID'IX'G WILL START IX FALL. Subscriptions Are Made to Fund Provide $100,000 Is Given. First AYlng to Be Completed. More than $64,000 has been raised to date for the completion of the Hahnemann hospital here, and actual building operations probably will be under way by fall, according to A. B. Wastell, who is in charge of plans of the trustees for financing the hos pital. The sum of $100,000 will be needed, to complete the present unit, and the subscriptions to the hospital are be ing made contingent to the raising of this sum. No work will be begun until the $100,000 has been fully subscribed. The hospital will be located on the block bounded by - Second, Hassalo, Third and Multnomah streets, and ultimately will fill this entire block. For the present, however, efforts will be directed towards completing the ffrst wing at the corner of Sec ond and Hassalo. The frame of the building has been standing for sev eral years, but the interior has never been completed. William Ladd is president of the trustees of the or ganization, Robert Tucker is secre tary, and W M. Smith treasurer. The first wing when completed will pro vide 100- beds. Rodosto Column flaking 3 0 Miles Daily Is Expected to Try to Cut Off Nationalist Force. ATHENS, July 25. (By the Asso elated Press.) Under a broiling sun tempered by sea breezes, the last de tachments of Greek troops are land ing at Dedeagatch, covered by the Greek fleet. - It is expected tnat the Rodosto column, which is already making 30 miles a day, will attack Lule Burgas, and if successful, cut behind Jafar Tayar Bey, the nationalist commander at Kirk Kalise, and prevent the es cape of his regular troops over the Bulgarian frontier. The Greeks fore see quick victory but wish to capture Jafar Bey, who declares he will never be taken alive. Another column is proceeding to Keshan to support the frontal attack by the main body of troops along the Maritsa river, against Adrianople. It is hardly believed that the morale of the Turks is such as to duplicate their five months' stand against the Bulgars in 1912. when the defenses of the city buUt by the Germans were in good condition. Today they are partly demolished, and there is general lack of munitions. It nown, however, that the nationalist ommander has laid in large food upplies. The Greeks do not wish to bombard the city in which there still remains large number of. Greeks. While here is little evidence of ill treat ment of the Greeks in Adrianople by Jafar Tayar Bey, it is asserted that riiany of them have been forced to nroll as soldiers, and villages have been obliged to pay indemnities. A demand has been made on the Bulgarian government that it disarm nd deliver over any regular Turk sh troops . that retreat over the frontier.

Light Music, Well Played, Features Band Concert. Lively Bits of Popular A Ira Are Mlna-lrd . With Opera Selections by Hosarians In City Park, BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. LIVELY bits of merry, rousing, popular music, mingled with se lections from operas, made up the programme of music played yester day afternoon in the city park by the Royal Rosarian band, known this season as the municipal band, Joel B. Ettinger, conductor. The audience. numbering more than 1000 persons and including many family parties, gave cordial approval of the musical treat. The band numbers about 36 mu sicians. several of them being pro fessional players and formerly mem bers of other musical bands in pre vious eeasons. Two notable instru mental soloists, among them B. F. Driscoll, cornet, and M. B. Palacios, wood-wind. The band instrumenta tion is skilfully selected, competent. and of good quality. In style, it is an American band, where quiet, tune ful. melodious effects are desired rather than Italian where ' heavv. dramatic effects are the fashion. The Rosarian band of 1920 is up to accepted band standards, and is one of the musical assets of the city. The out-door audiences do not. a rule, desire high-class, high-brow music, and consequently yesterday's programme principally consisted of lighter music suited to glad summer time. A selection of American airs. ending with "Yankee Doodle." earned warm applause, and so did such nu bers as an exerpt from Lacombe's "Spanish Suite." Ellenberg's "The Flatterer," Von Blon's "Whispering lowers, and Friml s Firefly." The two big numbers, both well played, were Weber's "Invitation to the Dance, ana selections from the opera "Gioconda," including "Dance of the Hours. Mr. Driscoll's cornet solo. Dream (Bartlett), was excellently played, and his fine swelling tone ana mastery ot technique were much admired. There were many recalls, and extra numbers were played. Wlnlock to Open Paving Bids.

HOQUIAM. Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) Establishment of a central union of the various locals of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lu bermen of Grays Harbor is being ad vocated. At the meeting last night the project was indorsed by local 42 and Schafers No. 5, two of the largest n the county.

Lud Nelson and Thomas Staton aged 20. both of Hoquiam, were ar rested last night by federal agent charged with violating, the liauo laws. The boys were arretted while coming into town with an autoload Planters to Send Wheat to Seattle for Cargo Shipment, and Divert Cars for Easlbound Use. - SEATTLE, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) Diversion of probably half o Montana's 30,000.000-bushel whea crop to Seattle for water shipmen this summer is hoDed for by the etat pub)ie service commission in a rec ommendation made to the interstate commerce commission at Washington D. C. The principal benefits expected to the northwest If this diversion i accomplished will be the enforce transfer to this territory of box cars now so badly needed that partia paralysis of manufacturing industry is threatened, it is stated. Prompt authorization by the inter state commerce commission of a re duced export rate from Montana points to Puget sound is asked grain shipments. This, it is under stood, includes milling in transit privileges, which w'll also c6ver flou and feed products. Unfair competl tion with Washington state gral growers would be avoided by apply lng the proposed reduced rate only t export shipment, either to the orien or to Europe via the Panama canal it is said. Seattle grain men who have bee consulted -by the commission believe that the plan can e worked out to the advantage of interior growers and also to Puget sound manufacturers. who need the cars exceedingly for returning eastbound shipments. Advertisements. SEATTLE, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) Republican gubernatorial can- j idates have been drifting through the early stages of their primary ight, for though many of them have been active, the general public has not warmed up to the fight and some of the entries have been slow to pro vide any excitement. Limited speech making has robbed the early part of the campaign of any spectacular features. Political observers generally are agreed that thus far the loyalty in the present campaign has been to princi ples rather than to candidates. Governor Louis F. Hart has had a decided advantage in the early pub- lcity for the republican gubernatorial campaign, for as chief executive he has figured in most of the important happenings of the first half of the year. He has been busy traveling over the state and his appointees are on the road most of the. time. Lamping tietm Attention. Features of the special legislative session gave impetus to Colonel George B. Lamping's fight for gov ernor early in the year and recent talk that he might be Indorsed by some, if not all. the conventions at Yakima have attracted attention to him. Lampig in his campaign represents a wing in the republican, organization whose strength has not been apraised. but which is assertive enough to at tract a great deal of attention. No body knows whether Lamping was aftected by the Yakima conventions, but it generally is agreed that his candidacy is the only one which wa or could have been strengthened or weakened by any action taken by the factions which spent most of last week in conference. State Senator Edward T. Coman of Spokane injected a new feature in the primary campaign by holding a joint debate at Yakima Friday with H. H. Staliard, a Non-partisan league or ganizer. , Coman Build on Debate. The Coman campaign committee has expected to make a great deal of capital out of the debate through the publicity it already has gained Stenographic reports of the speeches made are to be circulated among the voters. Coman has been traveling systematically over the state to reach each section and talk to as many voters as possible prior to the pri maries. State Representative J. A. Gellatly of Wenatchee has exceeded the ef forts of all his rivals in outdoor pub licity. His advertising matter covers much of the available space on dead walls, signboards and stumps besides the country roads. Gellatly is pretty well known in eastern Washington and is trying to make himself better known on the west side. He is in troducing a speech-making campaign wherever possible. Missionary Speaks at Albany. ALBANY. Or.. July 25. (Special.) Rev. W. O. Forbes. D. D.. of Seattle, head of the Sunday school missionary work of the Presbyterian church in the Pacific northwest, was the speak er at last night's public meeting of the Presbyterian young people's con ference of Oregon, now in progress n this city.
