SACRAMENTO. May 15. Floyd
Hall, youthful escaped murderer
from San Quentin state prison and
master maurauder, whose career
linked with Joe Tanko, his partner
In crime, has been a Bpectacular
one since the pair escaped from the
penitentiary April 7 last, lies in the
Sacramento city Jail, held incom
municado. He was captured late
ast night without a fight or an at
tempt at one, and somewhere In
the city Is supposed to be his "pal"
Tanko.
Hull's capture was a tame one.
It has been expected that when
the police came upon Hall and
Tanko blood would flow. Instead
of that, acting upon a tip from a
citizen, Chief of Police Iiarney Mc
Shane, accompanied by Detective
Captain Desenfants. Sergeant
Perry Gamble and Patrolman
Danny Reith, Invaded a Japanese
rooming house on Fourth Street,
not far from the Sacramento river
front, walked Into a dark room,
flashed a light under the bed and
there was Hall.
Upon a brusque order. Hall
crawled from beneath the bed,
hands above his head, was search
ed and In a few minutes was in a
cell at the city Jail.
Hall had no weapon although the
police stated that he had with him
a number of .30-30 rifle cartridges.
Hall was taken at about ten
o'clock last night but the news was
held up for two hours by the news
papers, upon the request of Chief
of Police McShane, who had hopes
of being able to apprehend Tanko
Tvell
Through the night the entire
police department worked, looking
for Tanko. All roads leading out
of the city were guarded and room
ing houses were being searched.
Even the off shift of the fire de
partment was called Into service.
The sheriffs force also was out.
It seemed that Tanko might be cap
tured during today.
Hall's only comment after his
capture, the police said, was "I
know what this means It's the
noose".
This cryptic remark was taken
by some as an admission that It
was Tanko and Hall who on April
fS shot and killed H. J. Lltzberg. a
Sacramento merchant. In his store
while attempting to rob the estab
lishment. Gus O. Rlllo. an aged clerk em
ployed by LIUberg, always has
maintained that It was Tanko and
Hall who attacked him in the rob
bery attempt and shot Lltzberg
when he came to the rescue from
a rear room.
Three days after the kliyng of
Lltzberg Patrolman Clyde Nunn,
pursuing a car which had been
commandeered. along with Its
driver F. R. Harlow, was shot by
men later identified as Tanko and
Hall. He was dangerously wound
ed, but Is recovering.
When arrested. Hall was dressed
In a new pair of overalls and a new
shirt. A new cap was also found
In his room. It bore the tabel of
a Japanese merchant.
On the way to the city prison
Hall remarked to Chief McShane
that it had been "hard going" and
that the office had "hounded
them to a point where they were
almost desperate. The tip to the
police department was given by a
man who saw a man he thought
was Hall leave the Nippon Theatre
Fourth Street, near L. Following
him. the man saw the suspect dis-
intn the Colusa rooming
house and Immediately notified
Captain Desenfants. It Is presum
ed by officers that Tanko was
with Hall In the theatre and be
came suspicious as the two left,
probablv turning In another direc
tion when he observed his partner
was followed.
According to S. Shlmada, pro
prietor of the rooming house where
Hall was arrested a man rented a
room about six o'clock last eve
ning and said he wanted accomo
dations for two. He left and re
turned In about ten minutes,
Shlmada said, registering under
the name of "J. Rayon." After
that the rooming house man saw
no more of him until he was
brought down stairs by the offic
ers, he said.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. May 15
With Flovd Hall, convict of San
Quentin. in city Jaff today, peace
officers continued the search for
his companion. Joe Tanko. Since
their escape from San Quentin five
weeks aso where they were held
for commission of murder the two
men are charged with having kill
ed one man, wounded another and
committed several robberies.
Officers searching for Tanko
are prepared for a fight It U be
lieved he still has one of the two
rifles, the convicts were known to
possess while being hunted.
The crime for which the two
men were serving life sentences at
San Quentin was the murder of
Arthur O. Meechan, chief of po
lice of San Bruno. Cal. With an
other murder charged to them
while at liberty from San Quentin,
officers believe that Tanko will
prefer death to capture.
Discussing their experiences
while being hunted In the moun
tains around Nevada City, Grass
Valley, Colfax and Auburn, Hall
told Chief of Police McShane today
that many times the convicts could
have killed members of the posses
who passed within 100 feet of them
Hall admitted that he and Tanko
were In Sacramento on the morn
ing of April 18, when Harry J.
I.itzburg, a merchant was shot to
death when he interrupted a hold
up of his store. He also admitted,
McShane said, that he and Tanko
had a rifle In their possession on
that day, which tallies exactly with
the bullet recovered from the
murdered merchant's body.
The admissions by Hall occurred
during three hours questioning by
police. Hall flatly refused to an
swer questions which tended to Im
plicate Tanko In any of the es
capades of the two bandits In the
period when they were causing a
reign of terror In Sacramento,
both Immediately following the
I.itzburg slaying and since Iheir
return to this city yesterday. '
Hall admitted that he, and Tan
ko held up a United States mall
stage near Granitevllle on May 5
after which they staged sensation
al dashes through Nevada City and
Grass Valley, the vicinity of Col-
' fax; over roads patrolled br arnied
possemen. later abandoning the
vehicle near Cape Horn.
He said they had decided to hold
up the driver of any sort of motor
vehicle who came by their place
of concealment. In order to secure
means of transportation. The mail
stage chanced to be the first ma
chine to reach them. Questioned
as to the manner of their escape
from San Quentin prison. Hall de
nied that he and Tanko had re
ceived assistance from trusties at
the Institution, from prison guards
or from outside sources. He as
serted that he and Tanko had
picked 4he lock of their cell from
the inside which gave them access
to the prison yard. With the aid'
of a rope obtained at the laundry,
at which both prisoners were em
ployed, the two managed to scale
the prison wall.
The prisoner related In detail,
the movements of the pair In the
foothill and mountain region east
of Sacramento, where, a thrilling
man hunt had been staged -since
the two eluded officers In Sacra
mento nearly a. month ago, and
headed Into the bill country.
Burglary of a cabin on Iowa
hill, where a second rifle was stol
en and the stock sawed off, was
admitted by Hall. He said they al
so stole a coat, a pair of shoes and
food.

and that any pollution of the
spring waters could be eliminated
by. proper Vhlorination. t -
Mr. Looney ciaims that Inst

SALEM. Ore.. May 15. On pe
tition of C. C. Chapman, filed with
the circuit court hero yesterday,
appealing from the ballot title pre
pared by Attorney-tleneral Van
Winkle for the cigarette and tob
acco tax referendum. Judge L. H.
McMahan granted a temporary res
training order. Secretary of State
Kozer and the Oregon Itetail Cigar
Dealers Association, the defend
ants, are required to -up pear and
show cause May 18, or eanier If
an earlier date can be agreed upon.
Chapman alleges that the words
cigarette and tobacco tax bill" in
the title should read "cigarette,
snuff and smoking tobacco stamp
tax bill", -and sets forth reasons
why he believes the title as pre
pared by Van Winkle is unfair.
If the petitioner is upheld by the
court and it Is found necessary to
ater the ballot title, all names so
fur. signed to the petitions will be
void and it will be necessary to
start the petitions In circulation
again. Completed petition must
be filed on or before May 27.
The petition declares: "that the
title provided by attorney general
for said daw Is Insufficient and un

that an appropriation is made for
enforcement of said law and that
it describes the said tax as a ex

trom snops and news stsnds abandoned. Grower who are In-
mlttee recommending the (exten
sive growing of lettuce this year.
We do believe that lettuce grow
ing has a future in the couaty,
also limited areas where Irrita
tion is possible are adapted to the
growing of celery. We recom
mend that In these area lettuce
may be grown as an early crop
followed by celery. Thi make
an excellent combination and
give the grower double use of
his land and may bring excellent
returns. - '
Asparagus: Asparagus can lie
grown successfully In part of the
country nnd we recommend plant
ing of this crop.
Potatoes: Potatoes hare not
been a paying proposition the past
few years, but with the growing
demand, for certified seed pota
toes there la a possibility of thi
becoming a profitable Industry.
Peas : Test plots, of winter
peas have made goed showings
and give promise of a crop tnat
should not be overlooked.
Broccoli : Broccoli, a winter
cauliflower, has been grown with
in the county for a number of
years. The acreage has grown la
ten years from a few trial acre!
to more than 2000 acres. Th
financial returns check very fa
vorably with that of any other
cash crop. We feel the Industry
can gradually be expanded with
profit In the future. Care how
ever, should be exercised i selec
tion of reliable seed strains' and
planting the crop In , adaptable
soils.
Rhubarb: Rhubarb, can ba
grown successfully and we believe
sufficient acreage to make car
load lUpmeuts will bring exesUc
lent returns.
Prunes : Prune are flit
largest comnrarclal fruit crop
grown In the county. At present
we do not advise the further
plantings of Italians. We advise
limited plantings of Petltes. Th
Dato Prune Is still In Its Infancy
but appear to be the most pro
mising variety of all the prunes.
Apples : The county has at
present sufficient acreage, of com
mercial apples.
Pears ; The soil and climate
of Douglas County are particular
ly adapted to pear culture. Com
mercial orchards have proven
profitable. We recommend In
creased plantings of the follow
ing: Bartlelt, Hose, Howell ana
Winter Neles.
Cherries : Leading varieties
of sweet cherries are produced ,
commercially and prove profitable
when care Is exercised In the lo
cation ot plantings and provision
macl for proper pollination. Sub
statntlal planting will be made
In the future.
Peaches : The demand for
Douglas County peaches Is In
creasing rapidly and we recom
mend further plantings.
Blackberries : The Evergreen
Blackberry grow wild in moat
parts of the county and yield
considerable of an Income where
they can be delivered to a can
nery without too heavy cost for
transportation. They respond
well to cultivation and while the
profits nre not large there ha
always been a fair market for
them.
Raspberries : Raspberries may
be grown urressfully and there
Is an unlimited cannery market
for them. The profit are not
large but on creek bottom patchea
where Irrigation Is possible the
raspberry Is a good paying crop.
Slrawlarrlos : Strawberrle
are coming Into their own In
Douglas County. They grow well
In neurly all parts nf the county.
Investigation by the Raw Pro
ducts Committee leads us to be
lieve that strawberries will be
one of the surest source of re
venue whenever grower plant
snfflrlent acreage to Induce buy
ers to look to this section for sup
plies. On account of weevil and
other nests strawberry growing
In many of the big producing sec-
