FOR SENTENCE
VIRGIL PERRINE IS GIVEN HIS
SECOND COMMITTMENT FOR
ROBBERY AT MILWAUKIE
FLAW FOUND IN PAPERS
FURNISHED TO PRISON WARDEN
Warding of Indictment Makes Big
Difference in Term of Years Giv
en to Boy Criminal" Goes to
Begin His Time
Sentenced twice for the same rob
bery of the the Milwaukie State Bank
last July, Virgil Perrine took anoth
er trip last Saturday underline custo
dy of Sheriff E. T. Mass, and started
in again to serve his time at the Ore
gon State penitentiary.
The circuit judge gave him a term
of 10 years flat in the state prison
Saturday after it had been discover
ed that the former sentence -of from
one to ten years was not legal rfnder
the indictment that had been re
turned by the grand jury.
The mistake on the part of the
court came 'from the wording of the
indictment that had been returned.
The grand jury found the evidence
gainst Perrina for the robbary of the
bank and charged him with commit
ing assault and robbery with a dan
gerous weapon.
The wording of the charge had much
to do with the term that could be giv
en to the boy robber.
Warden Sees Fault
Tha warden of the penitentiary dis
covered the fault of the commiUmant
and notified the sheriff that Perrine
would have to ba sentenced again.
Sheriff Mass brought the boy back to
tha city Saturday morning and, with
in an hour, he had been re-committed
to the state prison and began for the
second time to serve his sentence.
Ill the minds of saveral of the at
torneys of the city, there is a ques
tion as to whether the boy could, not
secure his freedom because he had
bean sent to the state prison twice
for the same offence. They hold that
the second commitment is a violation
of his constitutional right to be plac
ed in jeopardy for the same offence
but once.
TUay believe that he could le re
leased upon a writ of habeus corpus
and that his permanent freedom could
be secured if the case were brought
through the courts. It is said that
others in tha prison have effected
their release1 in the same way and
that the mistakes of the cour's in
passing the sentence have bean re
sponsible for their discharge.
Perrine says that the state prison
is not nearly as bad as it had been
pictured to him. Ha tells stories of
good food and plenty of hours for rest
and that the prison labor is not hard
nor exacting.
"la Inner aa o fllr., V .
' -" "a iciiun usudVC llllll-
Belf, there is no trouble coming to
him," he said Saturday. "The work
is not hard and the food is good.
The only objection that I hava is
that they don't issue pay checks on
Saturday night".
PLANS ARE LAID FOR
"From present appearances the op
ening of the coming C'ackamas Coun
ty fair will be the biggest, the best,
and most up-to-date fair ever held in
this county. Arrangements have been
mad a with the railroad lines through
this part of the state, both staam and
electric, so as to handle the larga
crowds at special rates", said Mr. M
J. Lee, secretary of the fair associa
tion. "The new poultry barn is one of
tha most modern building of its kind
in the north wast, having every fea
ture that could make for better sani
tation and light as well as for com
fort of the visitors. The1 building is
24x125 feet and has a large and we'.l
righted gallery running the entire
length.
Exchange Planned
"Another welcome feature will be
a private office for poultry breeders,
where, it is planned, those interested
in the fouls will buy, sell, and ex
change. Another department is the
en'arging of the swine barn which
will now hold many more' exhibits.
"Plans are being perfected for 'Ger
man day, on September 25, which
will be one of the busiest of the four.
A special train will be run from Silver
ton to Mount Angel and special fea
tures, such as a championship baseball-
game between Mount Angel and
Canby and a free for all pace, wi'l
be held.
"Many entries have been made and
it is thought that soma of thebuild
ings will be -far too small. Last Sat
urday there ware enough poultry ex
hibits to fill the old poultry building
and from present indications the m-w
one will be crowded.

SCHOOL
FOR 17 YEARS
LONG GRADED COURSE IS WORK
ED OUT BY PASTOR FQR HIS
VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS
EVERY FEATURE IS SYSTEMATIZED
Pupils Pass From One Grade to An
other as in the Public Schools
Last Scene of all Is Teachers'
Normal
A course of Sunday school instruc
tion covering a period of 17 years has
been arranger by Rev. Mr. G-eorge
Nelson Edwards, pastor of the First
Congregational church of this city.
The course is graded like a common
school and is meant, like a common
school to take the child when young
and give him the knowledge of the
Bible from beginning to end.
The work is divided into eight de
partments, the cradle roll, the begin
ners, the primary, the junior, the in
termediate, the training, the adult,
and the home departments. Each of
these takes up two or three years of
study and is composed of from two
to four grades, in all 14 grades.
The subjects included in the course
represent almost everything that per
tains either to. church work or more
directly to religion itself. It is all
carefully graded so, that the young
minds can grasp the lessons with the
same ease that the more experien
ced can theirs. Up to the interned
iate department there is an age re
quired for its members but the last
three are for tha grown students or
those who do not fall under the sup
ervision of the other departments.
The student is promted from depart
ment to department, much the same
as in the regular school, promotion
depending upon the attendance, good
work and a quarterly written test.
Pupils not meeting the requirements,
but over the age limit, will be passed
without honors.
Although the Congregational church
has the course, the othar cuurches are
adopting te plan in a more or less dif
ferent ferm.

ican Road congress and director of

United States with the support of the
organized road movement of America.

nearil a hundred of the eading manu
facturers of the congress will illus
trate every known method, . material,
and equipment for road construction
and. maintenance. He urges the city

tures, inspaction of exhibits, confer
ences with leading specialists in mad
End street work, and the - collecting

PEKIN, Sept. 13. Japan's demands.
presented to China two days ago, in
connection with the killing of Japan
ese subj acts and the trampling of the
Japanese flag by Chinese, were ac
cepted in their entirety today by the
Pekin government.
The Japanese note containing the
demands, which were tantamount to
an ultimatum, was drafted as a result
of the killing of three Japanese and
the maltreating of a Consular mes
senger at Nanking, the torture of a
Japanese lieutenant at Hankow and
the imprisonment of a Japanese lieu
tenant at Shan Tung.
The Japanese government demand-,
ed an apology for insults directed at
jthe Japanese flag, the punishment of
I the Chinese officers responsible for
z 'the shooting of the Japanese at Nan-
-king and the paying of an indemnity,
at amount to be arranged later.

CITY HAS PRODUCT
EXHIBIT OF ITS OWN
For busy Oregon City people who
haven't the time to atend either the
county fair at Canby or the state dis
plays at Salem, the Commercial club
has an exhibit that is extensive enough
to teacu tha resources and develop
ments of Clackamas county in a' few
hours and to do it almost as effec
tively, as tha bigger exhibitions will
do.
Secretary Froytag of theclub. has
filled the office space in the club's
building on Main strffef with the best
samples that he can find of tie pro
ducts of the county and has gathered
together an exhibit that will make a
creditable showing at the fair.
In the list is a samnle of kaffir
corn that measures eight feet in
heighth and that was "grown by H.
rvcoy at Clackamas station. Canned
figs, -pears, crab apples, and all other
! kinds and varieties of truits grown
;in the county are being prepared for

The Kidder boy was in trouble ear
lier in the week whan he was brought
up on a charge of being on the streets
after hours but was dismissed because
he is under 10 years of ago
Not
f - mut;h is known of tha Green boy be-

About noon, Saturday, a woman
passing down Main street by the First

HIS SISTER'S BODY
NEW YORK,' Sept. 13 Tha young ,
married surgeon whom Annette Day.
loved was sought diligently, by Jetec
tives to tell what he might know of
Miss Day's last hours.. Har brother,
Francis a real estate dealer of this
city, declared last night that she was
the slain woman whose body was dis
sected and thrown into the Hudson
river within the la"st two weeks. He
identified a portion of the body the
head, the arms and one leg were s. ill
missing--as that of his sister, by an
Odd-shaped disoo.oration on her back
which he said was a birthmark.
Annette Day, acording to the broth-1
er's story, was 23 years old, of- dark
hair and complexion, and one of five
children. Her mother lives on Tar
rytown and last saw Annete on Au
gust 16, when the girl, facing mother
hood, left home. They thought litle
of her silence for awhile, believing
she had got another place at har trade
as machine operator, on underwear.
But after a fortnight had passed with
out word from her, the brother be
came alarmed and began to loo': for
her.
The police were not notified because
the brother fait that the girl might
still be alive and he did not want to
make her disgrace public
Detectives were told this morning
that the surgeon had disappeared re
cently from his home in - Brooklyn.
His wife and two smjall children, it
is said, were still there. He had to'd
his friends, acording to the police,
that he ' hail been threatened by the
Black Hand, They thought this
strange, as he was not wealthy.
CITY WINS ITS
CASE IN COURT
ACTION BROUGHT BY GRANT B.
' DIMICK IS LOST BY THE RUL
ING OF JUDGE EAKIN -
COUNCIL'S AUTHORITY IS UPHELD
Decision Holds City Had Right to
. Make ApPointment and that it
was Its Duty to da so
Warrants to be Paid "
Oregon City . won Its fight in the
circuit court before Judge Eakin Sat
urday when the demurrer of the plain
tiff was overruled and tire court held
that the city had the right to make
the appointment of Ed Shaw as chief
of police and to pay him the salary
of $110o for 'the 11 months of his
service.
Grant B. Dimick brought the action
against Oregon City, its treasurer, and
Ed Shaw on the ground that the coun
cil did not have the right to make
the appointment of the police chief
at that time. The court, however,
held that the city not only had the
right to make such an appointment in
an emergency but that it was its duty
to do so..
The case has been pending in the
court for sometime, but the decision
of the circuit court Saturday settled
the point that has held up the. war
rants of chief of police for 11 months.
Attorneys for the city were C, D.
Latourete, William Stone, and J. E.
Hedges, while W. H. Hicks represent
ed the plaintiff, Grant B. Dimick.
TIM SULLIVAN
LIES IN MORGUE
NEW YORK, S ept. 1 3.- The body
of "Big Tim" Sullivan, member of
congress from - the thirteenth New
York district and a local Tammany
leader, was identified by chance to
day in a Fordham morgue, where it
had lain for 13 days. ......
Sullivan disappeared .August .31,
when he eluded on of his nurses, set
o attend him because of a mental
malady, and ever since then his
friends had searched for him in vain.
His body was on its way to the Pot
ter's field when the chance observa-.
tion of a policeman who had. known
him intimately checked its coursen
So many friends and relatives then
identified the body positively that the
wonder still grows that it was per
mitted to lie so long without the mak
ing of an effort to run down the" sev
eral clews that were apparent from
the start.
BOTH UNDER AGE;
Because both of the parties to the
contract w'ere under legal age, the pa
rents of Clarence Roll and Kate
Cooper pave their written consent to
the marriage before County Clerk W.
L. Mulvey issuad the license Satur
day afternoon.
On the marriage bookvOf the county,
appears the statement from the pa
rents of both that they give their free
and unreserved consent to the issu
ance of the license and that both
were under the age limit prescribed
by law. -

.FAIR COMvMITTEE DECIDES THAT
BALLOONS WILL NOT MAKE.
FLIGHTS THIS YEAR
SAW AERO PERFORMANCES AS A BOY
Every' County Shew Has -Had Them
Until They Have Become an Old
Joke Stock Exhibits to be -Better
Than Ever
Thp spvfnth annual Clackamas
County fair wil be unique in many
ways, but perhaps most noticeable of
all will be the fact that there will be
no "grand balloon ascension".- Judge
Grant B. Dimick, president of the ex
ecutive board, believes that balloon
ascensions are 'stale' and has put
his foot down upon this sort of thing,
even though a number of noted aero- ,
naut have applied for a concession to
go aloft in a smokefilled bag. :
"The first county fair that I ever
saw had a balloon ascension", said
Judge Dimick, "and every fair I have
seen since my boyhood had one. I
guess we can do without this old chest
nut this year, and I think people will
find it a relief, too". - - .
There will be no dearth of attrac
tions to amuse the visitors at the big
dispay on September 24, 25,' 26 and
27, however Many modern amuse
ment enterprises wil be shown, but
the chief stress at the fair will be laid
upon legitimatei exhibits of the re
sources of the county. If the visitors
see all the regular exhibits, and real
ize the perfection of the stock shown,
thew will not have time tor balloon
ascensions.
"We will have the finest stock dis
play ever shown", says Judge Dimick,
"and it will be a feature of the fair
that cannot be slighted. Aside from
this- jt will ba instructive and en-
tartaining, and -will show the farm
economy of only utilizing the best
stock to be had, and of keeping the
strain pure. Visitors wil be so inter
ested in what we will have to show
them that they won't want to see a
man. make a-monkey of himself under
a balloon".
