CII GROWING C ilnWr The session yesterday, of the United States district court, engaged In trying six local, men on a Charge of conspiracy to derraud the govern ment by dealing in altered war sav ings stamps, developed principally into a test of olfactory senses on the part of witnesses and - a battle of objections On, the paft of opposing counsel. ' The accused men are Sred Peter erin, who is alleged to have cracked the safe of the Seio, Or., state bank and stolen $15,000 worth of stamps with other assorted loot; Angelo Rossi. William Brenner. W. E. Smith, Dave Stein and Robert LaSalle. the last named an ex-detective on the Portland police force. A number of members of the local polioe fdrce bave been subpenaed for th trial and their testimony may serve to clear up some important phased Of tne case. Six Attorneys for Defense. Six attorneys for the defense op posed Assistant United States Attor ney Veatch and they were constantly on their feet Interposing objections and a legion of exceptions were aifked. Important witnesses were placed on the stand in the afternoon in the persons of George N. Ran dolph, a local dealer, whd was ac. cused of having had a goodly share In the alleged profiteering operations and who dealt in stamps among other securitlesr and William H. Hyde, a detective on the police force and a comrade of LaSalle's. who is said to have discovered the questionable entries on Randolph's books. On the stand yesterday Hyde, whose testimony was not completed at the time of adjournment and who will likely be the first man to be examined today, told of noticing the unusually large entries on Randolph's register and of the sales having been made by LaSalle. Hyde thert told how he went to LaSalle for an ex planation and of how his fellow operative explained that the purchase had been made from a "reputable north end business man-. Assistant United States Attorney Veatch then engaged in a duel of detective skill with Hyde, asking if he had not noticed that the stamps were with out mucilage and Bore the unmis takable scent of acids. All this time attorneys for the defense were inter posing frequent objections. Cashier Telia of Robbery. Randolph told of his trip to San Francisco and of how he purchased the stamps. He told of being sub penaed and of various transactions, in all of which stamps had a promi nent part. William Bryon, special agent for the department of justice, testified that Rossi told him that immunity had ' "i promised him by federal operatives. Rossi was after wards arrested. The case opened with the choice of a jury, mostly from out of town points, Tuesday, and yesterday pro ceeded when E. D. Myers, cashier of the Sclo State bank told of the rob bery of March 8. 1930, and gave the names of customers who had lost stamps and liberty bonds. How 60 persons were making an effort to have the United States make good their loss through the registered f tamps was told by Miss Daisy Buck ner, postmistress at Sclo. as the government often redeemed stamps of this character. The government 6perallves then had their innings, Joseph Walters, secret service agent, telling how he found 175 stamps. Some of which bore across their faoe the number 50819, the registry number of the Sclo Office, in the room of Fred Peterson, wrapped in a newspaper and hidden under a mattress. The telltale odor, said to be the effect of the alleged acids said to have been used in removing the registry num ber, was easily detected, said Walters, and he produced enlarged photo graphs of stamps attached to certifi cates to show the registration num bers. Absence of glue wad alsd em phasised in this case. A telegram that "th foods are All rusty," said to have been snt by Rossi to a man named T"arl Lee, was stated by Bryon as being the lead that marked the undoing of the alleged ring. Lee Is said to be an ex-convict and Bryon stated that the telegram was sent after LaSalle had found the stamps to be altered and had come back to Brenner and Rosl for his money. Bryon then testified that Rossi had offered LaSalle his check for any amount rp to $500 to cover the ex-detectives' losses, which was refused, according to Rossi's statement to Bryon.' The court yesterday Was plenti fully sprinkled with members of the Portland police force, either as in terested observers or as witnesses In the trial. It Is understood that Chief of Pol'Se Jenkins will be called to the stand before the case is completed. Peanuts and Cookies Fail as "Third Degree." LrOMt Tot Rrfnln to Ilvnls lVame of Parents to Matron. THE use of peanuts and cookies in administering the third decree proved art unsuccessful experiment when tried at police headquarters Tuesday n'ght., Not that the police contemplate adoption of this measure in dealing with all persons, however. And Incidentally, Patrolman E. E. Leavens won the affections of an at tractive and very, very young lady. Miss Dorothy Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin W. Hill. 572 Ains worth avenue, became interested in a ditch which was being dug in a near by street. She pandered from the home fireside at duek, while the mother was busy, only to fall into the hands of Patrolman Leavens. Doro thy -was cold: the evening fog was damp. She could give no address, so the officer sent her to Matron Pat terson of the city police. "I want my man with the pretty brass buttons." was the demand of the lass. "I don't want to be put in jail." "Oh. we Wouldn't .think of putting you in jail." assured the matron. "Tou come up with me. and I think we can find some peanuts." "A'right. Then I can give some to the nice polioeman, can't IV "Of oo virus you can. but you most tell us your name. What does your mamma call you?" "Jus' Dorofy," was the repl. "But what ja your XaUier's name?" - S ! llnrlat Kinney. "I Bate td confess a murder, but I have to do so ten times this week,'' said Miss Murial Kinney, one of the new members of the Baker stock company, who is playing the role of nurse to the deaf Mrs. Lydiafd (Miss lvora Rogers) In this week's ' show, "A Voice in the Dark." "We have to be accused of a lot of things in stock and we have to confess to more, so what's the use? For it's all in our week's work, and that Changes ever jr seven daj s." con cluded Miss Kinney, Miss Kin ney asserts she loves to be nurse to Miss Rogers, whose character portrayal is '6ne of the best seen on the Baker stage this year. She divides honors with Irving Kennedy, the blind news dealer, whose characterization is especially a fine. lze, for Mr. Hill arrived at the sta tion in search of her daughter before the feast could be cohcluded- O'jJtuary.

Until the last few davs there has been comparatively little talk of wagers, or rather there was an abun dance of talkbut verv few actual bt placed. The eitu&tion la Oregon hag now sirtea down about to where It will be next Tuesday, election day, so that those whd feel like backing their judgment are talking money. So far as known, no bets have been placed on the presidential . result in Oregon,. The Hafdlng sentiment is so strong that democrats have declined to risk their money by betting that Cox will carry the state. A few bets have been made on Harding's major ity and several republicans who Of fered moftejr that Harding will carry the state by 40,000 have been promptly met by democrats. Following these the betting on majorities shifted and some wagers were made that the re publican majority will be 20.000. MrArtlinr Is Favorite. A het 6f 1000 to $800 on McAfthur was made in a First Etreet restaurant yesterday. Several smaller bets were made at various cigar stores with Mc- Arthlir A II) trt E arA a 1 (1 in 1 f-,, ! Another bet of 5000 majority in McAr- in urn ravor was reported last night. For weeks there have been- offers of money going begging that Senator Chamberlain will be re-elected over Stanfleld, his republican opponent. At one time the odds were two to one, with no takers. When the republican managers fiesran their .-.c m ; r "vote the ticket straight," there was a slight change and the odds were 10 to o. leaieraay if was said even money was reached. In .republican Ktnt. v,Ann.,o-fA. yesterday aftennoon word was re ceived that $10,000 had been posted In a cigar store to bet on Stanfield. Money Goes Begging. One of 'the demnemtio manan-A when advised of this rpnnrt sairt th.t he had heard of it earlier in the day and that when he went to the cigar 8lr to taae some of it he was told that the tnonev was tint tmr. , ,.. if he left his check it mitrnt ho covered. Testerday 1000 of Stanfield money Was left with a prominent clothier, but was taken away subse quently because there were no takers. An out-of-town citizen was in Port land last week offering $2000 on Chamberlain, but went home without finding an opportunity to bet. A local democrat "was offering $3000 on Cham berlain a month ago, without results. There Is actual money in sight and between now and next Monday night tne unamberlain and Stanfield money probably will come together. Most of the betting is centered around cigar stores and in hotel lobbies, al though one courthouse employe etated yesterday that he had $300 to nlace on Stanfield and said that there were several hundred dollars more at the courthouse ready to back the repub lican candidate.
