Heywortjj. 111., Feb. 26. A coun try town marshal today caught the quarry of the police of the nation. Jack Draper, town marshal of this village, today arrested William Dal ton, 17-year-old bank clerk, who fled from the Northern Trust com pany of Chicago with $772,000 worth of Liberty bonds. IF CAUGH Dalton was playing a game of pool with Jack Hennessy, the local village cue shark, when Draper walked up to the lad and took him into custody. BOY GIVE?? RIDE A small, traveling bag, setting beside the pool table, was opened and th- Lib erty bonds rolled out on the rough pool room floor. Draper said the bonds were intact, ex cept one bond for $500. He said Dalton refused to tell him what became of the missing bond. It was la tec learned that the bond was sold to Chicago bond brokers a few min utes after the robbery onThursday. The bond was surrendered 'this afternoon. Dalton sold it for $437.50. Latest advices from Heyworth said that Dalton was being held at the home of Draper. The intense interest in the quest for the boy was heightened by the immense r reward offered One thousand dollars will be paid for the arrest of Dalton and $25,000 for the return of the bonds. "TOU GOT ME" "I guess you got me," Dalton re marked calmly, as he was placed under arrest. Dalton's arrest came as the "result" of his accepting a ride. Dalton was plug ging along the country road, lugging the small suitcase containing the fortune in bonds about dawn today, when a motorist came along the road and asked it he wanted a ride. The boy hesitated a minute and then .'climbed in. The motorist started to question the youth. am going to Springfield," said. MARSHAL NOTIFIED "Why don't you take the railroad V the auto driver asked. "I don't want to go through Bloom ington," the lad answered. That started the motorist thinking. (Concluded on Pace Two, Column Four) Hospital Nurses Must Show Clean BiU of Health - The Women's Hospital. 144 Eighteenth street, closed Friday by order of City Health Officer Parrish, will not be re opened until every nurse can show a clean bill of health. The patients must be removed to their homes or other quarters, and no other patients will be received until approval is given by the board. The announcement was made today after investigation of the death of one patient from puerperal septicemia, after childbirth, and the development of cri tical illness from 'the same cause in three other patients. Investigations in stituted by I"r. Parish disclosed that cul tures taken from the throats of seven nurses at the hospital showed they were infected. "The nurses were having troubles wifh sore throats and colds for two weeks and a half before the matter was called to the attention of the health depart ment," said Dr. Parrish. "Various physi cians have been visiting the hospital daily and ' the' situation should have been reported long before this was done. The superintendent of the hospital is not altogether to blame. "For some time the superintendent hs been planning for a general overhauling of the institution and renovation of the rooms and this will be done while the place is closed." " Standard Oil Gets Abyssinian Eights Paris, Feb. 26. The Standard Oil Co.. according to Rome dispatches received here today, has obtained by virtue of a royal Italian decree sole rights to exploit the vast Abyssinian fields in Africa which, up to the present, had been believed conceded to the English oil group.

Two hundred people, comprising an ex cursion of Seaside, Or., people, who accompanied the Seaside basketball team to- Ilwaco Friday night, are marooned on the sandbar at the head of Sand island today. The party left Ilwaco about midnight, en route home. A dense fog over the river confused the pilot and two boats ran aground. The third boat cruised around until 6 o'clock this; morning, looking for the other boats when it went aground. About 9 o'clock the marooned excur sionists hailed a passing fishing boat, which brought a number of the party . HAVE PORTLAND PEOPLE MONEY TO SPEND? LOOK AT THIS! SOME of the crowd which jammed itself into Broadway and Alder streets by 7 o'clock this morning, waiting for the opening of a widely-advertised 5-10-15-cent store, which was set for 8 o'clock. Long before that hour the crowds had stretched across both streets, seriously interfering with streetcar and automobile traffic and keeping a large squad of police busy. Once the women got in they didn't come out until they found what they wanted. Note this Portland matron, her arms full of trophies which she didn't wait to have wrapped. ..mmmmmmmmmnnj, .

Roose velt, a cousin, who holds the position under the present administration. ABILITY RECOGNIZE) "It was my earnest wish, in recogni tion of a certain sentiment and because of his ability, to appoint Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt Jr., as assistant secretary of the navy," Harding said. "Mr. Denby has gladly consented to that." , Regarding the appointment of Denby, Harding' said : ."I have told Mr. Denby I would take great pleasure in nominating him for secretary of the" navy and he has said he will serve if desired." Harding confirmed reports from Wash ington that he had asked house and senate leaders to go ahead with appro priations for the naval building program. tTRGES NAVAL PROGRAM "I have said to members of the house and senate naval affairs committee that I am very reluctant to suspend the capi tal ship program until we have entered into an agreement with other nations looking to disarmament."

Many children are aboard, but no hardships will be experienced. Several Ilwaco trolling boats have gone to the scene of the grounded boats and are offering to take off any of the excursionists who care to come ashore. Several have taken advantage of this opportunity to get back to Ilwaco while many of them fear to trust a small fish ing craft and say they will stay with their own boats until floated.

Tainted in the midst of the crowd which awaited the opening of the Woolworth store, Broadway and Alder strets. this morning, she started the greatest storm of inquiries as to her identity from worried husbands, ever re corded at the emergency hospital. "Who was that woman who fainted ?" was the query that came from scores of male voices at the police station switchboard this morning. The owner of each' voice seemed to have a mental picture of his bargain seeking wife lying crushed and sense less at the hospital, but as each inquirer was told the name a sigh of relief was the only response. Mrs. Danaugh had gone to the store entrance early in the morning and had shouldered her way -to the door for the opening. She says she was punched in the side by a ruffian and fainted. At 11 o'clock Fire Marshal Grenfell closed the store temporarily, because of fire hazard. Several boxes of washing powder had been kieked open by the throngs which stormed the store, and fumes containing naphtha permeated the atmosphere. This order applied only during the brief period required to relieve the haz ard and the store was reopened as before. To get a cake of soap or a percolator, thousands of people who never before had football training flocked to the store this morning. Broadway and Alder street for two blocks on each side of the magnet swarmed with peo ple. All traffic was diverted around the place. An emergency squad of police kept j "the Vtrol the crowd in order.

WOMAN DETECTIVE WINS 'PROM' CASES Miss Daisey Dell Simpson, woman prohibition officer, won her first case against a member of her sex in the federal court this morning, when the jury found Mrs. Lucile Thomas, formerly of 230 Tenth street, gnilty of violating the na tional prohibition law and with maintaining a. nuisance. Attorneys for Mrs. Thomas were given 10 days in which to file an appeal. J. W.

Bean. He pleaded guilty, to sell ing liquor in his pool room and with maintaining a nuisance. This is one of the heaviest sentences the court has pronounced on a bootlegger. Chandler will start serving his sentence Monday. J, F. Hartsell, a victim of Miss Simp son, who was convicted Thursday of I bootlegging, was fined $250. The court saia ne wouia not impose a jau sentence because there was no evidence to show him a pernicious bootlegger. Hartsell was given two days to pay the fine. Hal S.

The Sunday Journal Five Cents the Copy RECLAMATION PLAN IN WEST FINDS FAVOR Harding in Sympathy With Borah and McNary Regarding Project for Transforming Unused Land Into Tracts of Greater Value. By Ii. C. Martin Washington, Feb. 26. (U. P.) Casting aside international problems the Harding administration immedi ately after March 4 will center its attention on purely domestic mat ters, it can be authoritatively stated today. This word was brought here from St. Augustine by Charles E. Hughes, John W. Weeks, Harry Dsugherty. Will Hays ant. Albert B. Fall, all members of the new cabinet. They communicated this message from in president-elect to Republican congressional leaders. There will, of course, be a few ex- certions to the general plan of concen- trating internal affairs. For instance, peace with Germany w.ll be declared to Pave the way Tor domestic matters. l'BOBLKMS TOR ATTENTION Among internal problems scheduled for early attention are : i 1. A system of reclamation of arid. : swamp ana cut-over lanus wnicn wiu provide vastly incraased areas for agri cultural and industrial purposes. 2. Opening up of sources of power, particularly water-power or hydro-electric power, as -an aid to industrial ex pansion and increased employment Senators McNary of Oregon' and Borah of Idaho have presented to Hard ing a reclamation plan embracing the ' entire country. He has approved the he rose ne siaggereo. ai iirnt. ur. mc general idea, and Senator Fall, who as Mickle said he would have fired another secretary of the n.ierior will have shot at this point had his wife not re f haree of such matters, is in sympathy , strained him. After taking a few steps with it. PLANS FOR RECLAMATION The essentials of the plan are to re claim the arid lands in the West by ir i .getion. swamp iands of the bouth by drainage, and cut-over lands of the Fast bv removal of stumps. It contem- plates government loans to aid in the work. As to power development, the plan i to make use to the fullest possible ex tent of both navigable and non-nav- irable - streams. On the navigably streams this is to be done through the water-power act passed by the present Republican congress, but not yet active ly in operation. Weeks, as secretary of war, and all. secretary of the inte rior, will be members of the commis- j sion to administsr this law, ana weens estimates there are applications for power sites calling for a capital out lay of $2,000,00tj000. As to non-navigable waters, over which the government has no direct control, power development is to be en couraged in conjunction with the recla mation work. ASKS LEGAL POWER The Portland city milk commission has practically thrown up its hands in despair. It declares that it must have some legal authority to enforce compliance with the price schedule it fixes or else it is useless to under take any further regulation of the, prices for milk. The commission sent a communication to Mayor Baker this morning, signed by all its members William la. Brewster, Jonah B. Wise. Oswald W. Taylor, A. L. Tetu and W. D. Whitcomb setting forth the situation. MAYOR GIVES ORDER Immediately thereafter. Mayor Baker called into conference members of the city attorney's staff and ordered that some plan be formed whereby proper au thorlty could be given the commission to enforce its requirements. In its letter to the mayor, the commis sion says : "The commission has in the past re alized that it was not dealing with all parties in the milk business, and particu larly Its rulings as to price did not bind the producer-distributors who furnish about one half of the milk in the Port land market. We now find tbat the prices fixed for January 1, 53.32 to the producers, and a price pa'd by the consumers of 14 cents per quart, have not been ob served. The dealers generally have paid from $2.50 to $3.32 per hundred weight, and probably the average price paid has not exceeded $3. It is use less for the commission to recommend or fix any price if the trade does not follow. AUTHORITY IS LACKING "It therefore seems to us that the : commission must have some legal au ; thortty in the matter, so that any prices fixed can be enforced ; or, if it ! is not possible to obtain such legal 1 power, that its authority must be based on an agreement by all classes inter ested in the trade, and a large propor ; tion of each class, must be a party to i the agreement, so as to insure compli I ance by practically all who are Inter : ested. I "In view of ihe fact that the time for readjustment of prices has arrived, the commission feels that It must be assured of sufficient authority, arising either from ordinance or agreement, be fore it can proceed. Immigration Bill Goes to President Washington, Feb. 26. (U. P.) The bill limiting immigration to 3 per cent of the aliens already -resident here was finally passed by congress today and now goes to the president. MILK COMMISSION Burglar Shot In Head, but Makes Escape , Portland police are searching to day for a colored burglar who was shot in the head early this morning during an attempted robbery of the home of Dr. Virgil McMickle .at Rockspur station. The robber's hat with two bullet holes in it, one where the bullet entered and an other where it emerged, and a trail of blood, were found after daylight today.

E. T. Allen of the Western Forestry and Conserva tion association saw the blood trail on Dr. McMickle's porch, as did Dr. Ralph A. Fenton. Each assured the police of full cooperation in meeting similar emergencies. WARREN WILL NOT ACCEPT NEW POST Frank M. Warren, Chairman of the old fish and game commission, and appointee of Governor Olcott for membership upon the newly created fish commission, will not continue as a member of that commission, but will resign to devote more time to the Port of Portland and to his private business. . This is the understanding of close per sonal friends of Mr. Warren, though he has made no nubile announcement of his j,ia,ngj and wul not discuss them prior to receiving official notice of his -new appointment from the governor. It has been pretty definitely under stood by friends of Mr. Warren for some time that he did not intend to continue as a member of the fish commission for any length of time, irrespective of what new legislation , might, or might not have been enacted by the legislature. He has given fMends with whom he has dis cussed the matter- to understand pretty definitely that he desired to gtve more attention to his private affairs than was possible should he continue to serve both upon the fish commission and upon the Port of Portland commission. It was understood before the legisla ture convened that shortly after the end of the session Mr. Warren would step out of the fish commission and, by di vesting himself of the duties of that ap pointment, thus enanie nimseir to ae vote all of the time not required for the management of his private business to the work of the Port of Portland commission.
