BURNS SSEUTHS TAKE FALSE TRAIL
Lad Held in Jail Here Now Regarded
as Wayward Boy Who Has
Failed in His First
"Big Crime"
; Developments in the Milwaukie
bank robbery case Tuesday have leu
tha affair somewhat of a mystery, tha
apparent connection of young Virgil
Perrine, the prisoner, with the "P. O.
Whitey gang" of safe-blowers having
been shattered by the arrival in this
city of D. D. Hail, of Mosier, wno
came here at the behest of the Wasco
county sheriff to identify Perrine as
a member of the gang now iield at
The Dalles to answer to a "box" job
at Hosier. Hail came here with the
expectation of identifying Perrine as
"Adrian Schoouover,' a member ot
that gang also known under the alias
of "Tom Raid," and who was not ap
prehended when the rest of the crowd
were taken into custody.
Sheriff hiss, having been notified
in advance of Hail's coming, took him
down to the jail at once to see the
prisoner. After one glance at young
Perrine Hail declared that he was not
the man wanted, and said he could
not recall having seen him before at
all. This rather knocked the "pins out
from under the case officers had been
building up in regard to Perrine, and
there was a hasty review of circum
stances to see where the false trail
had been followed.
It then developed that aside from
Perrine's own admissions that he had
made the trip from Tacoma to Port
land, and thence up the Columbia
with members of the P. O. Whitey
outfit "Whitey"' being Claries nick
name, and tha initials "P. O." having
been tacked on because of his pan
chant for robbing postoffices .there
was nothing at all to connect him

TRIAL 0M1TER$
POSTPONED A DAV
Trial of the socialist rioters, who
came out from Portland last month
and created a disturbance in tha
Oregon City mills, originally set -for
Tuesday morning, has been postponed
until Wednesday, when the 15 men
will be called upon to answer to the
felony with which they are charged.
Tha cases were not called Tuesday
owing to a jury trial which occupied
Judge -Eakin'S attention throughout
the entire session of the superior
court.'
While attorneys aad witnesses
were waiting around tha courthouse
Tuesday, one James I. Braun, a spec
tator of the proceedings, was arrested
by Sheriff E. T. Mass . upon being
identified by a number of mill em
ployees as one of the ringleaders in
the rioting. As papers were not made
out in his case at once, he was turned
over to Chief of Police Shaw and held
on a vagrancy charge. An informa
tion charging him with rioting will
probably be made out Wednesday.
His arrest was the only startling
event of ' the day, though a large
crowd gathered in the vicinity of the
courthouse in anticipation of some
sort of delevolpments. Deputies and
police kept tha crowd moving through
out the day; however. In the late af
ternoon, when postponement of the
rioting case was definite, socialist
leaders distributed carfare among
their following so that they could get
back to Portland.
Joe Chamberlain's Birthday
LONDON, July 8. Today was the
seventy-seventh birthday anniversary
of Joseph Chamberlain, who until ill
health forced kis retirement a few

Chamberlan received a flood of felic
itous messages.
GRAFT SCANDAL
SIS PORTLAND
PORTLAND, July 8. Reports that
there has existed a system of barter
and sale in appointments to the police
department have been under exclusive
consideration by the grand jury for
the past two days.
Following a late-night invetigation
by Deputy District Attorney Maguire
last night, further evidence of a sen
sational nature will ba placed before
hat body today and the prospect is
that the affair so will ramify that
the greatest municipal scandal in
years will come to light before the in
quisitors have concluded their labors.
Mentioned in the evidence already
produced are A. P. Armstrong, county
superintendent of schools and until a
few days ago member of the City
Civil Service Commision; Detective
Sergeant Robert H. Craddock, and an
unnamed man who is believed to have
bean campaign manager for Superin
tendent Armstrong in the campaign
last afll for the position he now
holds.
THREE SCORE AND
SEVEN ARE WARDS
Sixty-seven children and 21 widows
will be cared for this month by Clack
amas county under the provisions of
the widow's pension law enactad by
the last session of the legislature, and
f523 will be expended in their behelf.
The largest pension paid will be $47.
50, and the smallest will be ten dol
lars. In all but two of the cases tha
full amount allowed by law will be
turned over to the widows for the
care of their minor children; but in
the two cases, both of women with
fiva children, one will get $30 and the
other but $18, owing to the fact that
they have other means of revenue
aside from the county. :
In all 28 widows have appliad to
the county court for relief under the
act. Aside from the 21 to whom pen
sions have been granted, there are
four whose cases are pending before
County Judge Beatie, and thrae whose
applications have been denied be
cause it was found by the courc that
they did' not rightfully come under
the provisions of tha act. It is ex
pected that more applications will be
made this month, but pensions in such
cases will not be paid until August.
Four pensions of $10 each will be
paid, four of $17.50, one of $18, three
of $25, one of $30, six of $32.50 and
two of $47.50.

CASE ISlHRT
OVER THREE YEARS
On Juna 2, 1910, somebody told A.
J. Kitzmiller that J. L. Ellis had
stolen sona poles that were lying in
the county road and that belonged to
Kitzmiller. Kitzmiller had Ellis ar
rested. Ellis came back with a war
rant for assault and battery against
Kitzmiller, and Kitzmiller was ar
rested. Both men were discharged,
and following that Ellis filed suit for
$1,500 damages for malicioug arreat
against Kitzmiller.
The case was tried before Judge
Campbell, and a jury awarded Elli3
$500 damages. On motion of George
C. Brownell, in November 1910, Judge
Campbell sat aside the verdict and or
dered a new trial. The case was
heard tha second time before Judge
Morrow, in1911, and the jury failed
to agree.'
This week the case came up again
before Judge Eakin, in the circuit
court, Gecrga C. Brownell still being
attorney for Kitzmiller. Testimony
dragged along for two days, and Tues
day afternoon the case went to the
jury for ;.he third time. The jurors
considered it five minutes, and then
returned a verdict in favor of Kitz
miller, so Ellis gets no damages.
"THE DEERSLAVER"
IS SUPERB FILM
As time goes on the educational
possibilities of the moving-picture
house and the photo-play are becom
ing more and more apparent. TUis is
particularly noticeable in the case of
plays dealing with historical -subjects
and with periods that have passed.
- Ia "Tha Deerslayer," an entertain
ing photo-play produced by the Vita
graph company, founded upon the
well-known tale of J. Fenimore Co-jy-er,
an excellent idea is given of tue
frontier life among trappers and hunt
ters about the middle of the eigh
teenth century before the time of the
revolution. This play, which is a
magnificent two-part feature, may be
seen at the Grand theatre on July 14,
The play was enacted on the very
spot in which the novelist located his
story. Lake Ostego, and abounds with
powerful dramatic situations. The
part of the heroine is played by Miss
Florence Turner, one of the most
popular of all moving picture players,

Charles Wright, for many years a
barber in Oregon City, fired two shots
at Miss Elsie Utiker Tuesday morning
at Oak Grove, and only his bad aim,
due to his intoxicated condition, sav
ed the girl's life. Wright, who is well
past middle age, had become infatuat
ed with the girl, who is but 20, and
had met her in Oregon City several
times, and according to the girl's
s:ory had twice asked her to marry
him, but she had refused.
Tuesday morning Wright went to
Oak Grove, armed with ' a revolver
and carrying a bag, in which he had
a quantity of 32-calibre shells and a
bottle of whiskey. He deposited the
bag at the station and sauntered up
the track, concealing himself in the
grass along the Vosburg property.
Miss Ltil"er came down tha track,
and when she passed the spot where
Wright was hiding, he exclaimed:
"Now I've got you," and calling her
a vile name, fired a shot, which miss
ed her.
The girl screamed and ran, and had
not gone more than 100 feet when
Wright fired another shot,- but again
his aim was bad, and the girl found
rafuge in Mr. Port's residence.
In the meantime, E. C. Warren,
Clair'3 Harpble and Deputy Sheriff C.
Worihington, hearing the shots, went
to the scene and Wright promptly sur
rendered to them, and Worthington
brought him to Oregon City on the
car. On the way to Oregon City
Wright said to Worthington: "Damn
her, I wish I had got her."
Miss Utiker is a niece of Mr. Graf
of Oak Grove.
Upon his arrival here Wright' told
Sheriff Mass that the girl had ruined
his life. Wright has been drinking
heavily of late, and his condition is
pitiable, as he is said to be a suffer
er from Bright' s disease and cannot
liva long. He recently disposed cf
his interest in a local barber shop and
has been trying to sell some of his
personal effects.
WHITE SOX WIN
ING BATTLE
The Commercial Club White Sox
opened the Chautauqua baseball sea
son Tuesday by administering a
crushing defeat to the Pries Brothers
team, the score being 19 to 5. The
game was a good deal of a joke for
the first three innings, not a man of
of the L System bunch seeing first
base. Telford, of the Sox, pitched a
great game, allowing but four .hits.
One of the runs gained by the cloth
iers was no fault of his. Blessen
started in to pitch for Price Brothers
but later replaced by Kaiser, the
southpaw, who stopped the onslaught.
