OMAHA, Neb. March 18. Two of
the convicts, John Dowd and John
Taylor, alias "Shorty" Gray, who es
caped last Thursday from the state
penitentiary at Lincoln, and . Roy
Blunt, an innocent victim of the murd
erous attempt to secure liberty, are
dead as a result of a exciting battle
between the convicts and officers this
afternoon.
Charles Morley, the third member
of the trio which escaped from the
state prison, after killing three offi
cials of that institution, saved his life
by surrendering after an exciting bat
tle over two and a half miles of coun
try. The three convicts were within
striking distance of the goal which
they hoped might secure their safety
when the final desperate struggle for
liberty occured. They had covered
the stritch from Lincoln to within ten
miles of the Omaha limits, where they
had expected to receive the protec
tion of friends.
Early in the day the telephone op
erator at Gretna, about 15 miles south
of here, gave notice of the presence
in that vicinity of the desperate men.
This message brought out several
posses, one from Omaha, composed of
detectives and police officers, anoth
er composed of Sheriff McShane and
deputies, of this county, a third made
up of Sheriff Hyres and his deputies,
from Lincoln.
Sheriff Chase, of Sarpy County, and
his deputies also were within striking
distance, and South Omaha sent two
posses under Chief of Police Briggs.
The Gretna company of militia was
early on the scene.
SENDER OE BOMBS
NEW YORK, March 18. Every
available detective at police head
quarters is searching today for the
man who attempted to kill Judge Otto
A. Rosalsky on Saturday night with
an infernal machine, sent him through
the mails.
Similarity of the typewriting on the
package and the manufacture of the
missile to that which caused the
death on February 3 last of Helen
Taylor at her home on Seventy-seventh
street has led to the opinion
that the same man sent both bombs.
32 ARE KILLED IN
BOILER EXPLOSION
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 18.
At least thirty-men were kiled and
parts of their bodies strewn for blocks
when a big passenger locomotive in
the Southern Pacific shops blew up
here this morning.
The locomotive stood in a square
formed by the cooper-house, black
smith shop and roundhouse, all of
which were wrecked. A part of the
locomotive crashed into a house sev
eral blocks away and seriously hurt
a woman.
Twenty of the -bodies have been
identified, but what is believed to be
twelve more is little more than a
tangled mass of fragments of human
flesh and bones that probably never
will be separated.
These fragments were found jam
med into crevasses about the wreck
ed building in the streets, and entang
led in the machinery of the shops.

Those eight "live wires" who are
at the head of the list in the stand
ings of the candidates in the big con
test for the $785 Ford are going to
put up a pretty struggle for first hon
ors in the third special contest which
started Saturday. It certainly will not
be one of those "you first my dearAl
phonso," affairs, but a royal battle
from the start. The special con
test prize of a $15 merchandise cer
tificate on one of the principal stores
of the city seems to the magnet which
draws every entrant to work harder
and each one is determined this time
to be declared the winner. At the r
quest of some of those in the race,
the length of this contst will be a lit
the length of this contest will be lit
March the 30th, thus giving each en
trant a little longer time in which to
corral votes.
The prize goes to the one getting
the most votes between the 16th and
and the SOtit of this month and the
former standings of the candidates
have no bearing whatever on the re
sult of the race. Of course every vote
cast in the special contest helps out
in the grand total for the big black
touring car, but the prize will go to
the one having the largest increase
in the specified time. Thus it is that
ea.ch entrant out for the auto has the
same chance to win the special prize,
as does any new entrant who enters
the race for the first time right now.
As the only restriction attached to
the Enterprise contest is that the can
date must be a resident of this county,
everyone living in Clackamas county
is eligible to enter the race and win
the auto. Right now is the opportune
time to enter the game and start
working for the 5-passenger car as
the longer one delays, the harder they
will have to work to catch up with
the leaders. As every subscription to
the Daily or Weekly Enterprise wheth
er it is a new subscription or a re
newal, is worth its share of votes,
it certainly is not hard to get a bunch
of votes every day. Of course some
days will be better than others but
there are thousands of people in all
parts of the county who want to sub
scribe for the county's leading paper
and are waiting to give their names
to the first one that asks him to sub
scribe for the paper.
Now the contest editor wants to
have a little talk with YOU. Lets
eliminate all superlatives and get
right down to the heart -of this thing.
To start out the editor will take it
for granted that you are an ordinary
person, and that you would like to own
a pew, up-to-the-minute automobile,
for where is the man or woman, boy
or girl, who doesn't really and truly
desire a car, one of which he will be
proud. As you have read the Enter
prise has purchased a new 1912 fore
door Ford automobile which will be
given away June 5th, fully equipped
with top, windshield, lamps and all,
to some resident of this county. This
person will be one who polls the larg
est number of votes by the 5th of June
by getting subscriptions to the Enter
prise. That is all there is to the
story with the exception to the ans
wer of the question "Who will get
the car?" Of course it is impossible
to tell now who the winner will be,
but if you want thecar you can have
it. You have the same chance as
the other fellow, you have friends who
will support you,you have the ability
to go out and get results and further,
you know all these things as well as
your friends. But why do you hesi
tate and let some other people get
in and take away from you what would
be yours if you will only get in the
game and hustle? 'No matter if this
would be the first time you ever enter
ed a contest. You might THINK that
you couldn't do anything but you
won't know all you can do until you at
least try, and the longer you wait
the harder it will he for you. If you
don't know how to start in, write me
a letter in care of the Enterprise, but
better than that come in and have a
talk with me. Perhaps there
start in write me a letter in care of
the Enterprise, but better than that
come in to have a talk. Perhaps there
is some little thing which you do not
understand, and if such is the case
the contest editor wants to help you
out of your difficulty. But the most
important thing to do is to make a
start you will never do anything or
get any place unless you make a start.
So the "one best bet" is for you to
get busy at once, work hard every
day, never get discouraged, and you
will he surprised at what you can re
ally do.
The Morning Enterprise Is the best
breakfast food yon can have.

GUY BOYLAN
OF
TYPHOID FEVER
Guy Boylan, eldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Winnie Boylan, of Cathlamet,
died in the Oregon City Hospital Sun
day morning of typhoid fever and
complications. JThe young man was
stricken at Cathlamet about nine
weeks ago, and was taken to Portland
for medical treatment, being at St. Vin
cent's Hospital for five weeks. About
four weeks ago he was brought to
Oregon City Hospital. He suffered a
relapse Saturday. His parents were
with him when he died. The remains
were taken to Cathlamet Monday
where the interment will take place
today. Mrs. W. C. Green, an aunt
of the deceased, and Mrs. Pauline
Schwartz, grandmother, went to Cath
lamet to attend the funeral services.
Guy Boylan was born in Oregon
City August 23, 1896, and with his
parents moved to Cathlamet several
months ago. He was a bright and
ambitious boy, and had made many
friends during his residence at Cath
lamet. He is survived by his parents,
two sisters and four brothers. He

Tl
TAXES ARE COLLECTED
More than $500,000 taxes have been
paid for 1911, which breaks all pre
vious records. In fact the amount
paid exceeds that collected any year
heretofore. The increase is due to
the increase in state and special lev
ies. Chief Deputy Sheriff Staats said
Monday that $172,487.95 was received
last Friday, the last day the discount
of three per cent waa allowed. Prop
erty owners who did not take advan
tage of the discount are availing
themselves of the privilege of paying
half now and the balance before Oct
ober 1. They will not be allowed a
discount, but will not have to pay a
penalty.

From time to time we hear of oth

on the market,' but as with concrete,
they should be proven before tried
on large work such as planned at
Corvallis. Nothing could be worse
for the city than to experiment with
pavements that have not stood Ihe
test of years, and which might result
in the property owners paying every
year for useless investment.

BROTHERHOOD TONIGHT
GARY AND TOOZE
LAUD TEACHERS
FORMER SAYS THEY ARE TOO
BUSY TO GO TO CHURCH
REGULARLY
EVANGELISTS DO NOT ATTRACTTHEM
"Teachers Who Strive To Make Per
fect Lives Of Pupils Needn't
Worry About Standing
As Christians"
F J. Tooze, superintendent of city
school and ' T. J. Gary, superintend
ent of county schools, were the speak
ers in the Open Forum of the Meth
odist church Sunday night, the sub
ject being, "Christianity from the
Standpoint of the Teacher."
Dr. Ford, the pastor, announced that
George C. Brownell would be the
speaker next Sunday evening.
Oscar Woodfin sang "Oh Loving
Father," Miss Sadie Evelyn Ford ac
companying him. Leon DesLarzes
gave a violin obligato.
Mr. Gary spoke in part as follows:
"Christ never tried to save his own
soul. One reason, I take it is be
cause he was too busy tryng to save
the world. Teachers look upon the
Christian as the one strives to help
others. The cynics definition of a chris
tian is a man whose great aim in life
is a selfish desire to save his own soul,
who in order to do this, goes regular
ly to church and whose supreme hope
is to get to heaven when he dies, is
not the teacher's definition.
"Teachers who are striving to make
perfect lives out of the thirty or forty
children trusted to their care, need
not worry about their standing as
Christians, for Christ's life was es
sentially a life of service.
"Teachers as a class do not attend
church as often as people think they
should. Because of this fact we some
times hear the statement made that
teachers are ungodly. This is not
true. I do not know of any "class of
people who are leading mpre unsel
fish lives than those of the teachers.
One reason why they do not attend
church more often is found in the
fact that they spend most of their en
ergy in the service of others and in
mental work and therefore when the
Sabbath day comes they want rest or
recreation Another reason is some
times found in the quality of sermons
they hear when they do attend. One
thing noticeable is that the teachers
are never seen flocking to church to
see a vaudeville actor prance up and
down the pulpit and juggle vulgar
slang. It may be right for men to
do these things but you want to know
what teachers think of Christianity
and I say that teachers as a class have
little faith in most of the sensational,
so-called evangelistic work of the
church. I, many years ago, went to
hear the great Dwight L. Moody
preach. I have forgotten what he
said but I remember distinctly the
great overpowering spirituality of the
man. His bearing, his language, his
looks, and everything he said and did
was so much like we thought Christ
to be that the influence he
left was holy. I went to hear
another great evangelist and try as
I would to dispel the feeling, Ixme
away thinking that it was a great
show of the powers of the professional
hypnotist. I felt that I had seen a
magnificient performance ' without
having to pay the price usually
charged at the theatre.
"Christ's life was a happy one. This
is a statement that you will take ex
ceptions to. You call him the man of
sorrows and talk incessantly about
his great suffering, his crown of
thorns, and all the most bitter, of
bitter persecutions. These things are
true but where, the mistake is
made is in talking and thinking about
his sorrows and suflerings and brood
ing over them. The teacher who
taught the boys to be good and they
would be happy taught a great truth
but he failed in this that he did not
not teach the whole truth. He should
have taught what happiness is. Web
ster says that happiness is the pleas
urable experience that springs from
the possession of good. Those boys
believed the truth thatrthe motto
taught because they saw it exemplified
in the life of the teacher. But when
they left the school and saw the long
faces, the sanctimonious airs, heard
the mournful talk of people who were
reputed to be the best people in the
neighborhood. Whey they went to
church they heard the minister dilate-
upon the awfulness of Christ's
cross and the suffering he bore from
humanity, when they told with sour
visage how Christ had been perse
cuted because he was good, is it any
wonder that the boys learned to say
"Be good and you will be miserable'
Thus the boys drifted away from the
church, the Sunday school, and every
thing connected therewith. If these
boys had been led to do good deeds
and thereby experience the pleasur
able experience that springs from the
possession of good, if they could have
been made to feel that the crown of
glory overshadowed the cross-of pain",
if they could have learned that only
those who are capable of great suf
fering can hope to experience great
happiness it would, I think have been
better for them. . '
"Do you believe that to be good is
to be happy? The test then of your
goodness is the happiness that you
experience. Do you radiate sunshine
wherever you go? Do people when
they leave your presence look out and
up and on toward better things?
When they leave your church do they
go with a song in their hearts and a
light in their eyes? Do the children
when they leave your school have a
consuming desire to be good and true
and noble?" - '

MAIN STREET LIBRARY
SITE RECOMMENDED
Committees of the" Woman's Club
and the Oregon City Library Assoc
iation met in the parlors of the Com
mercial Club Monday evening. These
committees represent more than 125
heads of families of Oregon City and
through them a large portion of the
entire population. After discussing a
site for the Carnegie Free Library
from every point of view it was decid
ed that the proper location for the
building was on Main street near the
business section of the city where
everyone whether a resident of the
Hill section, of the West Sije towns,
Canemah or Gladstone, could readily
reach it by car or otherwise and where
the men of the city who have no
homes could spend their evenings in
comfort and in good company.
The committee in charge of this
work was instructed to appear before
the city council at its meeting tonight
and to offer an ordinance for the pur
chase of a proper site within the dis
trict mentioned and as the strength
behind the comitttee is so great, prop
er results are naturally expected. All
present resolved to boost for the Li
brary site.
I CALLED HORSE
THIEF, IS ARRESTED
A man who gave his name as F.
Nicklin was arrested Monday at Mar
quam on a charge of stealing a horse
from Fred Henrici, of Beaver Crek.
The horse was stolen Saturday night
and Mr. Henrici notified Sheriff Mass
Sunday. The Sheriff telephoned a
descripton of the horse to various
parts of the county, and was notified
Monday that a horse answering the
description of the missing one had
been brought to Marquam. Deputy
Sheriff Miles went to that place and
arrested Nicklin.
SPECIAL ELECTION
The city council will he urged by the
charter board this evening to call a
special election to have the revised
charter voted on. It is believed that
the election will be called. The board,
which was appointed by Ex-Mayor
Brownell and the city council, has
made radical changes in the charter,
but it -is believed they will meet the
approval of the tax-payers. The revised
instrument reduces the number of
councilmen from nine to five, one from
each ward and two from the city at
large. It provides that the council
shall appoint a business manager of
the city and a mayor, the latter to
be anointed from one of its number.
HEALTH COMMITTTE TO
. MEET TOMORROW NIGHT
The committee on health and police
of the city council will meet at 7:30
