PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 20.
The search for some trace of Mur
ray, Kelly and Wlllos. escaped con
victs, continued today at several
points In the Northwest, but with
out result.
The local authorities after fol
lowing up numberless clues and
"hot tips," are as far from getting
definite results as ever. Early to
day an Oak Grove resident told
police that he was forced to take
a stranger for an extended auto
ride, but police believe the strang
er was a local resident and had no
connection with the bandit trio.
Another Incident police announc
ed today was the report last night
of a Portland resident that two
men had prowled his house, eaten
a meal prepared for occupants of
the house, then left a note purport
ing to be signed by Tom Murray,
"escaped convict." The note read:
Notice. Thank you for the supper
and the " the note stopped at that
point The signature did not tally
with that of Murray in possession
of the police. The prowlers, be
lieved by officers to have been
boys, took a ninety-pound sack .of
sugar, a pair of new shoes and a
logger's shirt
Grants Pass officers, who late
yesterday afternoon rushed out in
quest of an automobile reported to
have been stolen In Roseburg and
containing a man identified by a
Grants Pass workman as Kelly,
returned to Grants Pass without
having found a trace of .the ma
chine. Clatsop county officers are
guarding the lower Columbia riv
er highway Into Astoria on the
chance that the convicts might be
-neaded that way.

NEWPORT. R. I., Aug. 20.
The death toll of the Mackinac
disaster was raised to forty to
day when three more of the in
jured died. Those who succumb
ed today were Pauline Stephens,
Darlington, R. I.: Jean McCarthy,
20, Pawtucket, R. I., and Mrs.
I Mary U. Wildenhaln, Pawtucket,
R. I.
Four seperate Investigations
are under way to determine the
responsibility for the explosion of
the boiler on the excursion stea
mer in Newport harbor Tuesday
evening, which has claimed 40
lives already with several other
victims fighting for their last slim
chance of life, with probabilities
against them.
Four other persons are still
missing and It is believed that
they may have Jumped overboard
and drowned. Hospital authori
ties 'who still have many suffer
ers from the scalding steam which
enveloped the boat, said that the
death list probably would exceed
60.
State boiler Inspectors who
visited the death ship yesterday
said that the boiler which explod
ed was cracked and in a weaken
ed condition.
Their findings are being check
ed by the Rhode Island attorney
general's office and federal steam
boat Inspectors, and the Newport
police are conducting an Inde
pendent investigation. The state
officials will decide whether any
persons will be prosecuted for It.
Physicians at the naval hospi
tal where most of the seriously
injured were-taken and at the
Newport hospital, said it probably
would be a week before It could
be definitely stated how many of
the injured would recover.
Except for the tragedy of the
death of Dave Goforth, fatally Bhot
by a deputy Sunday In pursuance of
his duty, the whole case has ended
happily.
John Goforth until yesterday
held in the county Jail here on a
warrant sworn out by Reedsport
creditors charging attempt to ab
scond with unpaid-or merchandise,
has been released.
The third Goforth brother, whose
assumed name is George Brown
has been located In Kulama, Wash.
along with the goods which up un
til yesterday were missing. Iocal
officers are preferring no charges
against "Brown" and are having
only those boxes and barrels which
contained the merchandise under
dispute held by Washington au
thorities. That he might go free, settle his
accounts with a clear conscience
and attend the funeral of his young
er brother, Dave, in Centralia to
day. John Goforth yesterday told
the officers he would lead them to
the missing money with which he
disappeared Sunday immediately
following the death of his brother.
Following a conference with his
Reedsport creditors Goforth an
nounced yesterday afternoon that
he would take officers to the place
where he had hidden the money be
fore he was captured for the sec
ond time Monday evening at Drain
by a train crew and a deputy.
Goforth was taken to Oakland by
Sheriff Slarmer following his re
quest that he be allowed lo settle
his hills. There on the race track
between two big oak trees, within
sprinting distance of the train upon
which he had previously made his
escape the missing money was
burled. In a digger squirrel hole
Goforth showed the sheriff an old
tin can In which the money was
contained. 1
He told the officer that while the
train had stopped at Oakland Mon
day he had dashed to that spot and
concealed the money. There was
$1K!0 In the can.
Rather than "stick It out" and
face the charges against him he
would return here and settle in full
with his creditors, he told the
! sheriff. This he did, paying In cash
the sum of $1557 9'. The merchants
; to whom he owed the money will
! dismiss the complaint against Go
! forth and told Jiim yesterday that
thev would reimburse him for any
'of the goods sent hack to them.
Immediately Goforth was releas
j ed. He left on the first train for
, Centralia. Wash., where the body of
his brother will be given Its last
rites today.
Eventually It Is not thought the
! third brother will put In an ap
pearance here, although as yet
there is no warrant against him. It
' Is hinted, however, that If he does
! appear he will be held to account
for liquor activities In the Reeds
port country.

dearest romances was announced
early today by George Elliuan,
manager for Mrs. Valentino, oui ,
he emphasised tnat tne rocks were
nicely cushioned. I
The separation Is entirely frlend i
ly. Mr. Ellman said, there being no i
Idea of a divorce, no agreement foj
alimony, but merely the desire of
two artists to pursue their own tal
ents In different directions. Ho !
added, however, that he did not see i
how It was possible for either of
them to run home after the publl-1
city which is destined to be given
the announcement j
Both will continue In motion plo-1
ture work, Mrs. Valentino as a j
producer, and he as a star for
United Artists. Mrs. Valentino '
came to New York on business last
Monday. The separation agreement
was signed in the palatial Valen
tino home on Whitney Heights,
Hollywood, the preceding Tuesday.
Mr. Ellman described the nieellug
as follows:
"You know dear, I have my
work, as you have yours." Mrs.
Valentino said.
"Yes," he replied, "and I wish
you all the success In the world In
your venturfs."
"I love Rudolph and always
will." Mr. Ellman said Winifred
told him, "but 1 will never return
to him."
"The whole case la simply one
of two artistic temperaments seek
ing the freedom that each finds
necessary for life's work, Mr. til
man continued. "When they hap
pen to met. they will have brak-
fast. luncheon and dinner togetner.
There Is no quarrel. There is no
prospect of one."

The editor and publisher of 1he

at hla home here, after an Illness
of only three days or heart ail

quently In recent years.
Foremost among the exponents
of untainted news, one of the

and owner of one of the grealest
newspapers successes on the con

Mr. Lawsnn, the son of a news
