THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1903.
A WAY TG OXFORD
Two Cecil Rhodes Scholar
ships for Oregon.
METHOD OF LOCAL SELECTION
Committee of Five, at Head of "Which.
Will Be Preiident Campbell, of
University of Oregon, Will
Determine for Thin State.
Professor George TL Parkins, of To
ronto, agent for the trustees of the Cecil
Rhode estate, for the apportionment or
distribution of the Rhodes Oxford schol
arships In America, was In Portland yes
terday and arranged for the terms on
which Oregon might participate in the
benefits of the noted Englishman's be
quest. Professor Ferrin. of Pacific Uni
versity, Forest Grove, who attended a
conference of Northwestern college men
at Spokane "Wednesday, came down with
Dr. Parkins, and they met President
Campbell, of the University of Oregon,
here, and agreed upon the following
method of selection for the State of Ore
Eon: "That each college in the state which
Tegularly prepares students up to the
level of Oxford matriculation shall have
the right of presenting in examination a
candidate In each hundred or fraction of
a hundred students on its course leading
to a bachelor degree.
"The committee on selection for the
State of Oregon shall consist of five mem
bers. Of this committee the president of
the State University shall be chairman,
and he shall name as the other four mem
bers of the committee the heads of the
leading institutions of the state having
the largest number of students enrolled
in the arts courses."
So the matter was left when Dr. Par
kins departed for San Francisco last
night, to make arrangements for the
scholarships In California.
"It should be understood," said Dr,.
Parkins, "that no candidate will be quali
fied for the scholarship without certain
attainments in Latin, Greek and mathe
xnitics. Mr. Rhodes' bequest was of Ox
lord scholarships. Now, it so happens
that Oxford requires Latin, Greek and
mathematics for admission to its courses;
therefore, the candidates must be quali
fied in those subjects. By the terms of
the bequest, certain athletic and mora!
qualifications are also required, which
are to be determined by the examiners.
Full information about the responsion
examination, showing the minimum of at
tainments for the Rhodes scholarships,
can be had from a handbook to be ob
tained from the Oxford University Press,
31-93 Fifth avenue. New York."
Undur the arrangement agreed upon.
Dr. Parkins says he expects each quali
fied institution in Oregon will select its
best representative, and that the matter
of choosing between them will have to
be determined by the committee. In this
manner he expects the yery best timber
in the state will find its way to Oxford.
Two scholarships are provided for each
state. Each scholarship carries 51500 a
year for three years. The following,
which was agreed upon at the Spokane
meeting, reveals more of the terms under
which these scholarships may be taken:
"That the trustees of the Rhodes schol
arship trust bo requested to prepare and
annually send out. In co-operation with
the authorities of Oxford University, or
independently, sets of examination ques
tions, which shall be used as a prelim
inary test of the fitness of candidates to
enter the university. The papers of the
candidates shall be examined and passed
upon by the local committee on exam
ination Jr. each state and forwarded to
the trustees. From this list of candidates
who. have successfully passed such ex
amination, the selection of scholars shall
be mude. .
"That the candidate shall have com
pleted the sophomore year of college work
and shall be eligible for a year after
graduation from college,
"The candidate must be unmarried, and
only in exceptional cases shall he be more
than 21 years of age."
In Idaho, there being but one institu
tion of the requisite grade, the faculty of
the State University Is made the commit
tee for selection of candidates. In "Wash
ington the scholarships will go by rota
tion In this order: State University. "Whit
man College. State Agricultural College,
Whltworth College at Tacoma,
"LET ME TAKE YOUR PURSE"
I'onnic Jinn Warned MInk Bailey .of
Thieves, Then Left Her lciinileH.
Because she allowed a stranger to take
charge of her purse while on the way
from Chohalle. Wash., to Portland. Miss
Julia Bailey was for a time stranded In
the city without either money to get home
or friends to help her. Jshe came to Chief
Hunt yesterday with a tale of woe that
was almost new at the Police Station.
Miss Bailey left her home at Chehalls
Tuesday to visit Portland for a day or
two. She had $10 in her purse, which she
placed on the seat beside her in the car.
When near Portland a good-looking young
man entered and ae the car was almost
filled begged permission to sit beside her.
"He wasn't at all forward, and I made
no objection." said the girl yesterday in
telling her story to the Chief of Police.
"We fell into conversation after a while
tnd he noticed my purse lying on the seat.
'It Is rather dangerous to leave your
monej lying around like that,' he said
and 1 let him put the puree in his pocket.
Just before the train reached Portland
station he went into the smoker and that
was the last I saw of either him or of
my purse."
The good-looking young man may have
Jumped from the train before it reached
the station, but at any rate Miss Bailey
was forced to apply to the City Board of
Charities for aid to reach home.
PAY A. B. CROASMAN A VISIT
PostoIBce Employes Trcnent Their
ex-Chief- Witb Handsome Desk.
Ex-Postmaster A. B. Croasman was
presented last evening with a handsome
roll-top desk by the employes of the Port
land Postofflce. as a token of the high
esteem in which he Is held by the mem
bers of the force. The presentation,
which was at Mr. Croasman's residence,
on Columbia street, was a complete sur
prise, and it was only when the carriers
and clerks, headed by the Letter-Carriers'
Band, arrived in a body early in the even
ing that Mr. Croasman realized that he
was the object of a demonstration.
Early In the day the desk which, by
the way. Is a very handsome one of
massive oak construction was smuggled
into Mr. Croasman's residence and hid
den away by Mrs. Croasman until the
time was ripe for the presentation. Mr.
Croasman came home to dinner, little
suspecting what was In store for him.
and after the meal said that he was
going out. Mrs. Croasman asked him to
wait a moment, and in a few minutes
Mr. Bancroft, the new Postmaster, ar
rived, and began talking with Mr. Croas
man about the office. While the con
versation was going quietly on inside the
houje. all the carriers and clerks who
could get away from the office assembled
in front, and the band struck up a lively
air. The visitors were Immediately called
inside, and a, lew moments were spent in
talking and chatting. Mr. Croasman won
dering all the while what was In the wind.
The desk was quietly brought to the
dining-room door, and Superintendent of
Carriers Barrett made a short speech
expressing the high esteem in which the
retiring Postmaster is held by the em
ployes, and then, drawing back the cur
tains, disclosed the gift. Mr. Croasman
was greatly touched both by. the -speech
and the evident display of regard on the
part of the men, and replied in a few
words, expressing his gratitude and stat
ing that the present enviable position of
excellence held by the Portland ofllce was
particularly due to the way .in which the
employes treated the public, and not'to
any work on his part. Postmaster Ban
croft was also called upon to talk, and be
did so, expressing his thanks to Mr.
Croasman for the way In which he had
turned over the office nnd the satisfactory
condition of every department.
A number of songs were sung by differ
ent visitors, and the band rendered a few
selections, after which Mrs. Croasman
served light refreshments. The assem
blage broke up late in the evening.

SAFE IN THE COUNTY JAIL
BAICER COUNTY MURDERER
BROUGHT TO. PORTLAND.
IS
FleaaaBton Armstrong Will Xot Talk
- Abo at His Crime, bat W1U en
the Witness Stand.
Pleasanton Armstrong, who murdered
I Miss Mlnnne Ensmlnger near Haines, Ba
j ker County. Oregon, last Christmas night,
! and barely escaped being lynched last
: Tuesday morning by an infuriated mob of
Baker City citizens. Is now confined in the
Multnomah County Jail.
Deputy Sheriff Snow, of Baker County,
smuggled the prisoner away from the
Baker County Jail as soon as he learned
of the plan to lynch him and the two ar
rived in Portland Wednesday night. Arm
strong will be left here for safe keeping
until time for the trial.
"When seen yesterday at the County Jail
by an Oregonian reporter the prisoner was
not willing to say anything in connection
with the crime.
"There Is an attorney in the State of
Washington to whom I have told every
thing." he said. "Beyond that I can say
nothing.
Armstrong Is a powerfully built man.

but has little of the criminal' look In his
eye.' He not only seems repentant but
deeply humiliated at his position.
"Armstrong." called the jailer In a loud
tone, as the reporter came In to Interview
the prisoner. The murderer was'slttlng In
the corner of a cell at the end of the jail.
His Imposing stature and the stamp of his
Spanish blood "upon his countenance Iden
tified him In a moment.
"What Is it?" asked Armstrong.
"A reporter."
"I can only refer you to my attorney,
and he Is in Washington. I have told
him all."
"Do you. admit that you killed Miss
Ensmlnger?"
"I do not."
"Is it true that you bad agreed to die
together?"
"I will not talk about that," at which
he gave the bars such a fierce wrench as
to cause them to creak upon their 'fast
enings. "Would you rather be tried here or In
Baker City?"
"I am willing to go back to the scene
of the crime and stand trial."
Armstrong was then asked to give a
correct account of the shooting. In which
his former sweetheart was killed, but" he
only scowled angrily. He stood a moment,
gripping the bars as if pondering over
what to say, then turned abruptly and
walked back to his corner In the cell,
Miss Ensmlnger, who was the daughter
of. a wealthy pioneer rancher of Haines,
--as shot by Armstrong in a fit of jealousy,
Armstrong was a farmhand, half Spanish,
and for some tjme na(j been courting the
young lady. Her family objected to the
sui. and mde her break off the .engage-
Armstrong thon wrote the clrl a
threatening letter, warning her not to
break with him. Christmas night there
was a dance at one of the ranches, and
Mis Ensmlnger went with another man.
At 3 o'clock in the morning Armstrong
met Miss Ensmlpger near a neighboring
ranch where, she was to spend the night,
and it Is said.' that as she entered the gate
he fired at her, striking her in the back.
He then shot himself, the bullet grazing
the left temple. He is a man about 35
years of age.
The case was to have been tried Feb-
i ruary 27. on the Indictment of the grand
1 Jury, charging him with murder in the
first degree, but owing to a slight defect
j In the papers there was a continuance,
At this the citizens became aroused and
j planned to lynch the prisoner. Had not
. Deputy Sheriff Snow been notified of the
attempt It would probably have been sue
ctssful, for 200 masked men appeared in
a body at the jail and demanded to have
the prisoner turned over to them. Arm
strong, however, had been smuggled out
of the jail and the men were allowed to
search the place. Rather than- risTc- a sec
ond attempt the Sheriff brought the 'prls-
i oner to Portland fpr safe keeping.

returned from Salem last night, and will
go on to Baker city toaay. .
The prisoner can be left In the Mult
nomah County Jail with absolute safety,"
said he. "though it is true that there Is
no charge against him in this county.
No amount of habeas corpus proceedings
can get him out. Before we took him
' out of Baker County we obtained a writ
ten permission from the court to take the.
i ders from Baker County.
"The only time I took any risk with the
prisoner was when T took him out of
the state. As soon as the mob learned
that he was not in the Baker County Jail,
they knew .we-would take him. away, and
set a trap to get him off- the train at
Haines. Instead of walking into their
trap I took Armstrong to Welser, held
him for a day, then took a fast train
that did not stop at Haines, and came di
rectly to Portland. I suppose be could
have been taken away from me while In
Idaho."
Deputy Snow says that .he has had some
conversation with Armstrong, the mur
derer, and that there can be no truth In
the report that he and the girl had
planned to die together.
"Armstrong sneers at the mention of
such a thing," said Deputy Snow," and
says that there is no truth in It."
"He Is very anxious to go back to Baker
County for trial," continued Mr. Snow.
"He has no hope of living, and knows
that he will be hanged, but; says that he
wants to tell soflle things on the witness
stand. He will not tell me what they are,
but Insists that he will open eome peo
ple's eyes. ,
"He has borne up under the strain well
until the last few days, DUt seems to be
breaking down lately."
BOY OFF TO SEE LIFE.
Gustavo Hoffman Steals $G5 and
Starts Oat as a Cowboy.
"To be a cowboy, to ride a bucking
steed, and with his six-shooter strapped
by his side to drive the cattle from the
range." Such was the dream of Gustave
Hoffman, and because his parents object
ed he stole away In the' darkness of the
night, taking with him 5 of his mother's
money.
The police have been notified of the
boy's disappearance and are trying to lo
cate him, but it is thought that he is al
ready well on the road to Eastern Ore
gon. r
Gustavo Hoffman is only a boy 15 years
of age. For some time past he has ex
pressed a desire to go into a cattle coun
try and become a cowboy.
"You are very young." hfe family urged.
"Walt a few years until you have com
pleted school, and if you still want to go
you can."
"Now, what good is time spent In
school, to a boy who Is to be a cowboy?"
argued the" determined youth and pro
tested against his parents' stand. They
pleaded with him, remonstrated, but of
no -use. He was determined to go.
Tuesday night was selected by Hoffman
as the time he would make bis escape.
He knew where his mother's purse was
kept. Slipping cautiously Into the room
where the purse was laid away he fleeced
it of Its contents and started on his jour
ney. Early that morning be found a man
who had a horse to sell and bought It. A
saddle and bridle were also purchased of
the same man and the would-be vacquero
mounted the animal and turned his head
eastward.
From that time all trace has been lost.
The parents of the missing boy are mak
ing every effort to find him and have
called the police force to their assist
ance; but not the slightest clew has been
found.
PAINTERS' UNION WINS.
Master Association Has Granted
Higher Wage Scale.
That the Painters' Union has received
the higher scale for which they asked
some time ago Is now practically admit
ted by both parties. At the meeting of
the union last evening the committee ap
pointed by the union to attend the confer
ence with a similar committee from the
Master Painters' Association last Friday
evening reported, and the result of the
Joint meeting was laid before the union.
The local union has received the In
dorsement of the international association,
with neadquarters at La Fayette, Ind..
and, though no strike permit is included
In the communication, the men feel that
they are perfectly Justified In the de
mands which were made to the contract
ing palntexs the first of the year.
The committee from the Master Paint
ers' Association reported at the meeting
of the association Wednesday evening,
but the contractors will say nothing of
the result of the conference as told by the
committee. All of those present at the
conference took an oath not to reveal the
result until It "was given to the different
bodies represented, and so far they have
stuck by the agreement. The union men
feel sure that the new scale will be al
lowed by the contractors without the ne
cessity of a strike, but do not wish to
commit themselves.
"Everything about the scale which Is
definite must bear my signature, and I
can say nothing until we know exactly
what will happen." said L. M. Dobyns,
the recording secretary of the union, who
constitutes the press- committee.
"We'll do our talking about April 6."
said Charlie Lash, the business agent of
the mnlon. A smile of sweet content over
spread the face of Mr. Lash, equaled only
by the look of happiness upon Mr. Dobyns
countenance. Evidently bo$h were greatly
pleased at the report of the conference.
An air of confidence pervaded the whole
meeting, and the painters are apparently
well satisfied.

TAKEN BACK TO KALAMA
Eloping: Couple Are Placed in Cus
tody by Sheriff Hnntington.
N. R. Hepler and Mrs. Flora Woodward,
who eloped about a month ago from a
point near Seattle; were taken to Kalaraa.
by Sheriff Huntington, of that place,
yesterday morning to stand trial on a
charge of adultery.
Mrs. "Woodward left her husband and
children to go -with Hepler. and he also
abandoned his wife and', family. Kep
ler's home is in Kalama. and that Is the
reason they were taken there to answer
to the charge against them. The pair
were reported to be in Portland several
times, but when officers searched for
them they could not be located. They are
also said to have been In Tacoma, and to
have doubled on their tracks back and
forth to throw their pursuers off the scent.
The couple were found residing together
in a Washington-street boarding-house
and arrested.
It's a mistake to go on-losing appetite
and strength; Hood's Sarsaparllla corrects
It- .
