' . ' HOWARD CAPTURED AFTER IMG CHASE BY SHERIFF YOUTH XD COMPANION MAKE . OFFICIAL GO SOME TO w GET THEM. " " After a long and . exciting chase which took pursuers and pursued six miles up Birch creek, over hills, across fields, through fences and up and down draws. Sheriff Taylor and Dep uty Sheriff joe Blakely late yesterday afternoon captured George Howard, the 17-year-old boy who yesterday morning threatened to shoot his father, and with him Earl Wood, an other boy who has been associating with him.. The boys proved too fleet of foot for the officers, an automobile proved Impractical In the chase and It waa 'finally necessary , for Sheriff Taylor to do a little relay riding In or. der to land his quarry.' The officers firat came upon the boys on the Charles McBee place on Butter creek. Deputy Blakely was within SO yards of them before they discovered him. He asked them to stop but they heeded not his words and started up the hillside at a pace which the officer could , not hold. Sheriff Taylor waa across .'the creek and they eluded him also. He finally secured a saddle mule at a farm house but the boys proved wily. They dlsap peared over hills, doubled back when out of sight, croased as many fencea as they could and in other ways made it difficult for their pursuer to fol low. Howard was armed with a .22 rlble but did not offer to use It in resist ance. Both boys were brought back and locked In Jail. Young Howard, who Is out on parole, will probably be sent back to the reform school ana It la possible the Wood boy will ac company him. The mother of the boy believes that the criminality of her son Is due to pressure on the brain caused by a blow from a ball bat some years ago. Up until that time she states that he was as good a boy as a mother could wish but since has. been vicious and unmanageable. She states ahe will have him examined by physicians. CRAZED FEB DRUG, MAN ' DOS POISON 111 JAIL HOY CHAMBERS HASTENED TO HOSPITAL WHEItE HE WILL. RECOVER. Crazed with a desire for drugs, Roy Chambers, a "hophead,"- yesterday morning seized a bottle of disinfect ant which had been placed in the Jail and took a loug draught which, but for timely medical aid, would have proved fatal. He is now in the hos pital and la reported to be recovering. Chambers several days ago pleaded guilty to stealing some automobile tires from Will Moore and was sen tenced to three months In the county Jail but sentence was suspended. A few days later he was arrested by the police for being drunk. Yesterday morning he pleaded with the police to get him some "dope" and was In a pitiable condition for want of the drug. The police went to ask the ad vice of the city physician and at the same time, as Is their custom, gave the prisoners materials for disinfect ing the Jail. This was about 1:30 and, as soon as the police shut the door, Chambers grabbed the bottle of Anti-germln, which is a solution In which crude carbolic acid is the principal ingredi ent, and drank from it. Almost Im mediately he was doubled up with pain and his cries attracted the po lice. They sent for City Physician Temple at once' and he administered an emetic which relieved the suffer er's stomach of most of the poison. Yesterday afternoon he was taken to St. Anthony's hospital and was report ed Improved this morning. AUTHOR ACTS IN FILMS. Henry W.; Savage to Aid In Produc . tion of His Famous plays.

HIM OVEII TOLLS GIVEN I House Commerce Committee Con siders Matter With Regard to Re. peal of Free Clause in Bill. JDST WHAT WILSON DESIRES I to IaNage In the House Seems As sured But Reception In the Senate Is Not ho Certain Obstructive Tac tics May Delay Debate on Measure for Several Weeks, WASHINGTON, March . The house commerce committee, favorably reported In Congressman Sims' resolu tion repealing the clause giving Am erican vessels exemption from Pana ma canal tolls. Committeeman Dore mus. Knowland, Hamilton and Laf ferty voted against the report. The Sima resolution Is exactly what President Wilson asked In his mes sage to congress. Adamson of Geor gia, will press its adoption in the house but it rests with Underwood, of Alabama, who opposes it, to decide when it will come up. There were Indications that obstructive tactics will be resorted to and it is unlikely a consideration of the measure will be possible until after the adminis tration's anti-trust program has been put through. This would mean a de lay to June or July. Senator O'Gorman, leader of the democratic insurgents against the re peal, said the senate committee would not rush matters. It seemed likely the resolution would pass the house, despite what Its op ponents can do. A hard fight Is look ed for in the senate, where the presi dent needs republican votes- If it wins. The democrats are discussing a plan to empower the president as sole au thirity to fix tolls, and grant exemp tions as a substitute for the repeal o( the present exemption clause. BRITISH PAPERS ARE LOUD IN PRAISE OF WILSON'S CANAL POLICY LONDON. March . Papers were unanimous in praise of Wilson's stand on the canal tolls question. They de clare his meswtge was the finest bit of diplomacy and statecraft in the his tory of the nation. , Several papers urged England to re consider' its attitude of non-partlclpa-tlon Jn the Panama exposition in the light of AVilaon'e message.

The sen ate interstate commerce committee decided to report favorably on the nomination of Henry Hill of Colora do, to be Interstate commerce com missioner. WASHINGTON THINKS THAT TROUBLE WILL SOON END WASHINGTON, March 6 News of the situation in Brazil caused much discussion in official circles here. Generally, however, the option was expressed that the trouble would be short lived. Attention was called particularly to discontent in the north of the repub lic and to the fact that L'ernnmbueo had been upset about a year ago, when certain acts of the federal gov ernment were resented by the state as an assumption by the federal power of unconstitutional authority. It was said, too, that considerable feeling ex isted In other states over the states' rights question. Discontent growing out of transition In financial affairs, due to deprecia tion in the rubber market and to the breaking up by the United States of the coffee valorization system, was pointed to by some aa possible reason for much of the existing un rest.

Pendleton first-sucker for two years, will probably pilot the Buckarooes this season. Though he refused to sign the first contract sent him by President Matlock and de manded a prohibitive salary, In a tel ephone conversation today he signi fied a disposition to come to terms. There Is only $10 difference now In the terms offered and his reduced de mands and the local club officials believe they can get together. . The work of putting a team in th field Is now under way. Wheeler Os borne, the hard-fighting little twirl er, is the first to sin up. He will probably play In the field most of the time and do slab duty in emergency cases. ' . Naughton will probably be back at short or second and Peterson at third. Naughton was one of Im Grande's best players and finished well with Pendleton. Feterson also worked well here and tn other teams of the league. He has signed with Baker, but. inas much as he was never released by Pendleton, his new contract is worth less.

It is a matter which not only concerns mine owners and the strikers, but every taxpayer In the state of Michigan. The governor will speak before the woman's department of the National Civic Federation In New York next Friday. His topic will be "Prison Re, form."

Then again some are making fun of the new converts. Let me say you can scoff and laugh one out of conviction and into hell, but not out of hell. It is not a mark of good breeding to laugh at any one do ing what you know is right- and good, and It Is certainly not a compliment to the parents of such children who do It. There are now considerably over 200 converts and civic righteous is sure to come. Gamblers are no fools. They knew that it was a felony to gamble in Oregon, but no danger where protected." As announced the sublect was "The unpardonable sin, and hew may one commit it." Dr. Bulgin took for his text Isaiah 5:20.
