THE MORNING OREG ONIAN, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1920 13 PIRDON OF . PENDER Gl BE NC SOUGH Prison Officials Doubt Guilt of Murder Prisoner. RECORD IS MODEL ONE Alleged Slayer of Mrs. Daisy Wehr man and Utile Son Declared Circumstance Victim. SALEM. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.) Following publication of an article in Sunday's Oreeronian reviewing in de tail the case involving Arthur John Pender, now serving a life term in the Oregon state penitentiary for the slaying of Mrs. Daisy Wehrman and her little son, Harold, in Columbia county, in September, 1911. state of ficials today admitted that for sev eral months friends of the convicted man had been making a determined effort to have him pardoned from prison. At the time of his trial Pender d nled any participation in the crime, and his conviction, according to offi cials, was based entirely upon circum stantial evidence. Probably the most damaging testimony against Pender was given by John Sierks, who after ward was committed to the state hos pital for the insane. Sierks, for many years prior to being sent to the asy lum, had displayed marked homicidal tendencies, and subsequent to his in carceration in the institution he wrote a letter to his father in which he declared that he killed Mrs. Wehr man and her little son. In the same letter he also admitted that he lied against Pender in order that he might clear himself. Prisoner la Model One. Records at the penitentiary show that Pender has been a model prisoner. Taking advantage of the parole law, Pender has appeared before the parole board annually and each time denied all knowledge of the crime. In the face of these statements and good conduct, however, the parole board has never held out to him any hope that he eventually would be pardoned. It was stated by officials here to day that long ago Pender was offered a parole under a previous administra tion if he would agree to leave the state. Pender refused to accept this concession, it was said, and informed the parole board that he was innocent of the crime charged against him and would not agree to Indefinite banish ment from his native land. Dr. Stelner Believes Innocence. Dr. R. Lee Steiner, who served as warden of the penitentiary for several months following the resignation of Robert Stevens, had the opportunity to observe Pender closely. He stated upon several occasions that he did not believe the prisoner was guilty of the crime for which he is serving a life sentence. In this statement Dr. Stelner had the sympathy of Louis Compton, present warden of the peni tentiary. Mr. Compton believes Pen der was the victim of circumstances. Probably the strongest petition in Pender's behalf was received at the executive offices last October asking . that the prisoner be pardoned that he might return to his home on Thanks giving day. This petition was signed by several hundred Spanish-American war veterans, with whom Pender served during the engagement with Spain. Attached to these petitions were statements signed by several army officers, bankers and other men prominent in Oregon. Governor Olcott, as far as is known has never given any public intima tion regarding the Pender case, but was said to have been guided In his refusal to issue a pardon by state ments of the judge who presided at the trial and the district attorney who conducted the prosecution. These officials, is was said, are opposed to Pender s release. Officials said Pender will not ac cept a parole, but will stay In prison unless receiving an unconditional pardon so that he may return to his former home in Columbia county.

(Spe cial.) The voters of Vancouver school district will decide on the proposal to furnish free textbooks and it Is thought that It will carry. The labor ing people particularly are In favor of the plan, as the item of school books is a big one for a man with a fmaily, since book prices have advanced about 100 per cent within a year. If the proposal carries there will also be an appropriation of $12,000 to buy the books and $12,000 for general purposes. Many districts In the county already have the free textbook system in operation. ((rpHB COST." title of the Rivoll I feature photoplay this week gets Its name from the penalty . paid by a girl for a mistake Just one" mistake. It sounds melodramatic. It Is melodramatic, but nothing Is more thriliing and Interesting than good melodrama and "The Cost" has been well produced, well acted and well photographed. Suffice It to say that The Cost" is the first Paramount photodrama to reach the Rivoll screen which has been in existence now more than five years although under dif ferent management Violet Heming. star of "Three Faces East," who visited Portland last spring, has the stellar role. She will also be remembered for her in terpretation of "Everywoman" in the photo adapatatlon of the allegory, "Everywoman" which was one of the most successful of aii motion pictures in Portland during the last 12 months. Miss Heming has won her rights to these pretentious rol-es not by her beauty, which is of a delicate, clear cut type, but by her dramatic skill blended with an unusually attractive personality. "The Cost" is built around Thelma Dumont. portrayed by Mls Heming. She is a western girl who marries un wisely, but who when faced with the cruel realization of this fact proves that she Is not a coward but a thoroughbred. Her womanliness touches finally even the heart of her reprobate husband who in his death struggle wins back for her the wealth which in his estimation is the chief reward of thi-s world. Miss Barbara Lull, a young violin soloist, is winning great applause at tne kivo.ii tnis week. She is being featured in addition to the orchestral concerts each afternoon and evening. Screen Gossip. Fannie Hurst's "HumoreVme" w.hich. according to eastern critics, is the blggeet picture since George Loan Tucker's "The, Miracle Man" and uavid vvark Griffith's "Broken Bios soms" will open tomorrow at the Co lurabia theater. Its director is Frank Borsage. a young fellow less than 30 years or age. While he has been directing for several years "Humor. esque" is his first production to re ceive such univensal praise and na tional appreciation. It was its New York premier during August and Is sun in its nrst run in that rltv Alma Rubens is Its star, but she has been forced to share honors with what was first called a minor char acter, the Hebrew mother of the play.

In preparing to film a scene of an am bassadorial reception for "Foolish Wives," he had tusked a well-known actress to wear a sheath gown. When she appeared on the set the director noted that she had draped her skirt so as to give the Impres sion she was wearing the sort of gown he had requested. Looking ajt her critically. Von Stroheim remarked, "Madame, I see through your substerfuge." ' Well," she answered in indignant tone, stepping to one side, "that's be cause I'm standing right in front of the light!"

According to reports received at the I office of the state chamber of com-1 merce, interest of the leading men of I the northwest has been aroused In th Pacific northwest rivers and harbors convention, which is to meet In Port land October 4-5. Secretary Quay la I says that men eminently fitted to dis cuss river and harbor ImDrovements nd transportation problems have I signified their Intention to be present! ana taice part in the programme. " is not tne intention or he pro-1 gramme committee of the state cham ber to have any large number of set! speeches, but leave the meeting open ior a rree discussion of transporta tion proDiems. The average person, I perhaps, does not realize the serious! situation that now exists in the north west In transportation matters. The increased freight rates and the In ability of transportation companies! to lurntsh equipment is proving a se rious nanaicap to practically every 1 line or business. Linler Industry Affected. The lumber industry, one of the most important in the nothwest. is particularly affected. All mills in the inland territory have been sh-ipping largely by rail to middle west and eastern, points, but there is a strong probability that much of this lumber will eventually move toward western ports and this will call for Increased water transportation facilities and an improvement of our rivers and har bors. This affects not only Portland, but every port in the northwest. The board of directors of the Oregon state chamber of commerce hopes, as. an outcome of this convention, to secure relief. Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash. lngton will speak on the subject of "Our American Merchant Marine. Senator Jones is the author of the Jones bill, which has a strong bear ing on water transportation prob lems, and he will explain and com ment on provisions of that bill. Senator McNary of Oregon is at present on a tour of investigation of harbors and ports along the coast. and expects to be present at the con vention and take part in its deliber ations. It has been hoped that Admiral Benson, chairman of the United States shipping board, would be pres ent, but he writes to Mr. Quayle that pressure of duties will not permit him being absent from Washington at that time. He says, however, that the object sought to be obtained is a. vrv worthv one and regrets his inability to be here at that time. Study of Problems Made. George H. McMorran of McMorran Washburn. Eugene, has made a close study of these problems, and in l letter to the state cnamDer says: The biggest men of the state should take part in this convention, ana i they don't, in my Judgment, they are passing up one of the biggest things that is before the state of Oregon at the nresent time. rie says tnat transportation is one of the most im portant things that face th.e people of Oregon today, and there are great many dead ends tnougnout tne state which if connected up would give to the state a pretty good rail road programme. L. E. Bean of Eugene will have a place on the programme, representing the coast ports of Oregon. Mr. Bean has made a very extensive study oi Oregon port conditions and his knowl edge of these matters will De oi ex treme value to tne convention. J. B. Campbell, attorney and secre tary of the Spokane Merchants' asso ciation, has been appointed official representative of that Institution and will speak on behalf of the Jobbers of that city on tne relation oi tne in land Empire to Pacific coast ports.

The American Chemical society today passed resolu tions expressing regret that congress had not passed legislation adequately protecting American dye manufactur ers and urging that such legislation be passed. Speakers declared that such legislation was needed not only to prevent Germany from dumping her output of dyes Into American markets, but to weaken her military strength. It was pointed out that the same chemicals used in dyes also are used in explosives and poisonous gases and that encouragement of Germany's dye Industry gave her a. latent military strength. STEER RUNS WILD IN CITY Cowboys From Stockyards Have Animal Shot When Cornered. Several men on horseback chasing a wild steer through the streets of North Portland last night recalled to residents of that district the old fashioned "wild west." The animal was finally cornered in the back yard of a house at 1211 Borthwlck street, where It was shot by James Dod dridge, 1201 Commercial street. The steer escaped from the Portland union stockyards, but employes at the yards said they knew nothing of the affair, and the name of the man who owned the animal could not be learned. The steer was so wild that the cowboys preferred taking It back to the yards dead, end Mr. Doddridge secured his rifle and shot It at their request. TRAVELERS' GUIDE.
