With lil nerve strained to the
breaking imtiit, .mn W, I.ortue, mis
sing sine lust Wednesday morning,
nun home Hut-.irdny nUlit, He drop
pod off of train No, 14 from the Mouth,
and u walking down Hlxth street
toward hi offloo when lie walked
utrnlvht Into the tirmit of Deputy Shur.
trf Joynnr, who was lurking In the
roar of the Willamette hotel expect
ing bootlegger to leave llin station
on tha Sixth it root entrance,
"My Clod, John Iodr, whure have
you beea? We have un looking every
whore for yon," exclaimed the aston
ished officer.
Lodor muttered om Incoherent
word, and was finally Induced by
Joyner to accompany him to the court
home, where they were Joined by Sher
iff Wilson. A few mlnutH later Wil
liam Andreen, K. L. Popu, Hev. W.
T, Mllllken, Jack Loder, a ion of the
man whose uddon disappearance ha
boon the talk of the town fur the lat
three day, Mr, Cavondar, a relative
of Mr. Loder, and a party of newt
paper in on and officer surrounded
Ioder, who mumbled broken sentence,
plainly indicating that hi nerve
nave suffered a very severe ahock.
Whn prtumtMl for Information a to
whore he had boon, he inld;
"I save been riding all the time
all the time. Went to Sacramento, 1
have done nothing wrong, but I'm
done for. 1 can't come back."
Aft-r a brief conimlatton, Mr. Lo
der' friend escorted him to Mr,
Pope' a.itomolillo and he waa taken
home, whore he wa given a hot bath,
and jmt to bed. It expected that a
noon aa ho he had a few daya' rvt
and ha recovered hi memory that
he will be able to tell whyhtarlled
hi family and boat of friend by drop
ping from nlKht lust Wednesday.
He aald something IhhI night about
having been a far a 8acramento and
vernl times he mentioned California,
Ho bad no baggage, and evidently hud
not shaved glnre hi departure from
Oregon City and under hi arm he car
rlud a bundle containing a pair of
blue overull and a ret bandana hnnd
kerchief, III attitude la that of a man
dazed, hut he appear to think .hnt he
1m done something foollih that will
destroy hlR future In Oregon City.
Mr. Ioder'a on and wif were over
joyed at the return of the husbund
and futhor, and the meeting of the
returned wanderer with hi young on
waa a touching one. Loder broke down
and eobhod. but Roon recovered uf
flclently to bo tuken home. It I
thought that a complete ret will be
noceary to restore hlm to a normal
condition.
Dr. Strickland anld late last night
that Mr. Loder wa euffering a nerv
on breakdown and thla would be only
temporary and with rest and quletnas
he wo-.ild oon recover.
Order out of chaoa 1 the taak con
fronting William Andrescn and K. L.
Tope, who have been appolntd to
straighten out the business affair of
John W. Loder, local attorney. That
hla bualneR la In a Rorry tangl 1 not
denied and It la admittedly a herculean
tank to audit an almost endless detail
of transactions covering a term of
year, In an effort to ascertain the renl
condition.
Mr. Ixxter haa hnndled thouaand of
dollar of hla ow n monoy and that of
other, but haa failed to ktep system
atlc account, with the result that he
linen not know himself the actual
etatua of hi affair. He thinks he haa
been losing money for lome time, and!
thla belief o prayed upon hla mind,
that finally he went all to piece,
and In despair he lied the city, with a
vngue Idea thnt he might go to Arizo
na, and there obtain employment and
end for hi fumlly. He reached Sacra
mento, where he took the first train
home, Oregon City being the natural
place for hlm to turn to In hla dozed
condition.
. Mr. Tope will tnkeVharge of Mr. I-o-
dor's olllce at once and will gradually
and systematically untangle affairs as
he And them. There la no-hint o( dis
honesty on the part of anyone who Iior
made an Investigation of the case. Mr
Loder' personal habit were simple,
and when he left Oregoa City there
was In his safe a large amount of
money and variable socurltle. He
propose to turn over all of his prop
erty, even hla home if necessary, In or
der that those who have entrusted him
with tholr money may receive 100
cents on the dollar, according; to "a
statement made Monday by hi
friends.
The following statement was Issued
Monday by Messr. Pope and Andre
sen: During the temporary absence of
John W. Loder from hla office Win.
Androsen, of Durmolster and Andre
sen, and E. L. Pope have been appoint
ed by Mr. Loder aa managers to look

These two men will look after the

PROTEST
CANCELLING
OF ORDERS
PORTLAND, Nov. 27. The North

in the power of the Emergency Fleet
corporation and shipping board.
He ald: "First, to permit us to com
plete contract already awarded, no

no more wood contract will be award
ed and permit us to seek other con

DESTROYED BY
FIRE TUESDAY
The large residence owned, by C.
Brltton, at Meldnim, and occupied by
Mis Kathryn Lane and her brother,
Andrew Lane, wai totally destroyed
Tuesday night about 12 o'clock, by
fire from an unknown origin.
Upon retiring Miss Lane and her
brother had left no fire in the stove,
and about 11 o'clock the former was
awakened from her slumber by smoke
and crackling of the flames. She at
once rushed to awaken her brother in
an adjoining room, and with much dif
ficulty they managed to escape from
the burning building which' was then
a mass of flames. The brother made
his escape from the building by Jump
ing from an upstairs veranda to the
ground 1 below, and securing a ladder
assisted his sister from the building.
The personal belongings to the Lane
family were a total loss, there being
no insurance.
Neighbors worked diligently to save
the, furniture, but were unable to en
ter the building, as the flames had
made such headway soon after once
getting its start. From indications it
started near the basement.
Miss Lane and her brother are at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Gard
ner, of Mel drum. They have a sister
in Portland, also a sister in California,
the latter visiting in that state.
This is the second time the Lane
family have lost a home by fire. It was
during the Portland Exposition that
their home in Portland burned, at that
time being rented by another family.
The residence occupied by the Lane
family was built by tha late George
Steel, and owned by Mr. Steel for
some time before he, took up his resi
dence in Portland. It was a building
of about 12 rooms.
It was Just about a year ago when
the Lane family took possession of
the Britton home. While moving their
household goods to that place, their
father, Mr. Lane, accidentally fell be
neath the large van In which tha furni
ture was being conveyed, and was in
stantly killed.

Organization of a Young Women'
Christian Association is asaured In
Oregon Ctty through the loan from W.
P. Hawky, president of the Hawlny
Pulp & Paper Co., of the two-story con
crete building on the northeast corner
of Fourth and Main street, p.irchased
last year by the paper company with
the expectation that the site would be
useful for expansion.
Ths upper floor will be used for
sleeping apartment and. will accommo
date 60 beds, and there Is room on thj
grouna noor ror a caretena, reading,
writing, lounging and recreation
rooms, and a commodious assembly
hall.
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye announced
Tuesday that in th near future a cam
paign would be made) for funds to
finance the remode'Ing of the inte ior
of the structure, which was formerly
-jsed as a garage and later was given
by Mr. Hawley for a dormitory for the
aoldlers tationed hjre to guard the
mill properties.
Mrs. Dye made the following state
ment: "When the Northwest Y, W. C. A.
conference at Spokane appointed me
chairman for Clackamas county, plans
for a local organization began to be
discussed. Miss Grace Maxwell, Y. W.
C. A. national field organizer with
headquarters at Seattle, made sever
al visits to Oregon City investigating
the need of this Industrial center.
It was found that hundreds of girls
work n the various mills and other
are emp'oyed as clerks, stenograph
er, or come In to attend the public
schools. Beyeral bundrejd are in the
high school. At least one hundred girls
are working for their board in the var
ious homes while studying here.
"Suitable boarding places are al
most impossible to find. Even teach
ers in the schools walk about for days
trying to find a place for room and
board, and skilled weavers have beg
ged in vain for light housekeeping
rooms.
"In response to Miss Maxwell's ap
peal W. P. Hawley ha offered the use"
of a very suitable building for a per
iod of several year without rental and
he will pay the taxss and insurance. W.
A. White, architect, has been cooper
ating with Miss Maxwell in drawing
plan adapting this building to use for
a Young Woman's Chrstian Assocla-
tioa The women and girls of the town
are ready to cooperate In every way
and It is believed the fathers and
brothejni see the pressing need and
will help finance the undertaking.
Just what It will cost is yet to be de
termined ' "As a war measure the government
asked the Young Woman'a Christian
Association to look after thdj girls as
the army Is looking after the boys,
and all over the country wherever
girls are engaged in industrial work
away from home, suitable housing and
recreation are bing installed. 'Save
the girls to save the boys,' is the key
note. Take care of them. Pretty rooms
for girls can be furnished at very
light expanse and will bring an income
as well to help finance this undertak
ing. Y. W. C. A. experts are supervis
ing the plans to be announced later.
"Y. W. C; A. trained secretaries will
be In charge of each apartment and
make sure that the girls have the up
lift and freedom of a happy, healthful
home, as safe as under the roof ot
their own parents."

according to law this must be destroy
ed and the containers as well.
The liquor consisted of whiskey,
wines, champaign and many other
kinds. There were several suit cases
and trunks which it had been packed
