THE MORNING OREQONIAff, XCESDAf, FEBRUARY 14, 1905. GUARDS TO APPEAR needs tlrno If he Js trying to get far from this territory. "Another thing that impedes the case is lack of facilities. There is no conveyance in which to make quick trips, in cases where such is badly needed. Information has come several times, telling of the supposed presence fit tho murderer, but by the time we could reach the place spe cified the suspect was gone." The general belief among officers Is that Fiorebello is in hiding at the home of a friend near Oregon City. Valentines at Half Price Today Special school children's sale of Valentines today.

JUDGE WILL INVESTIGATE Guards Are Ordered to Come Into the Municipal Court to Tell Why So Many Sentenced Lawbreakers Gain Their Liberty. STATEMENTS OF CASE. CAUSE Or TROUBLE Escape or prisoncrR from the city rockpile, after belnr sentenced to terms of -work by iluniclpal Judco Hosue. The- latest was Ben Darwin, a. vagabond sent up for Fir months. JUDGE HOGUE SATS: "I have Is sued subpena for Guards Mallctt and Ilulmc: They must appear in court and explain to mc how j many prisoners-escape. I am ffcttlns tired of pending- men to tbe rockpile, only to have them set away." CHIEF HUNTS SIDE: "The guards have explained the escape of Darwin to me. Mallctt, an experienced and faithful officer, says the prisoner crawled throuch a holo In a fence, whllo both guards were direcUne other workers in digging postholcs. Two men can't watch a dozen men. tJluatcd far apart, every mlnuto of the time." There is, a littlo misunderstanding be tween Municipal Judge H. "W. Hogue and Chief of Police Charles H. Hunt. In or der to sec if he can secure enlighten ment, so as to smooth over the rough places now appearing above the surface, Ills Honor yesterday issued subpenas for Guards Mallctt. and Hulme, in charge of the city rockpile gang. They are directed to appear in court this morning and tell how several prisoners have escaped from them of late, and more especially how Bon Darwin got a-way last Saturday. Judge Hoguc Is ruffled. Thore is no doubt about that. Chief Hunt is. too, for he thinks His Honor is unduly rolled, and that he is rather meddling in affairs not altogether his own. The two high offi cials can't sec things in the same light, so the court decided to start something. "I'm tired of sending prisoners to the rookpilc. only to have them escape," said Judge Hogue yesterday. "Ben Darwin's escape Saturday Is the latest instanoe, and I want to see what the guards have to say. I issued subpenas for them today, and they are to appear in court and make what ever explanation they may have to make. Darwin -was sentenced to work six months on the rockpile. He served only a few days, and escaped. Others have done the ftamc thing during the past months, and I am weary of it. Somehow, only the very worst men get away." "I -can't see what reason any one has to make a fuss about the escape of Ben Darwin," said Chief Hunt. "The mat ter has been explained to me by Guard Mallctt. Saturday, he states, he and Guard Hulme had a lot of men "but dig ging pestholes, preparatory to putting in a fence. While Mallctt and Hulme were directing other prisoners, Darwin crawled through a hole in a fence and got away. Now, it's impossible for two men to watch a dozen or more prisoners and keep tab on every one of them every minute of the time. That is a reasonable statement, and these are the facts. Darwin had six months to servo; his wife is in great need of his care sorely in need then and now. I don't blame him for escaping, if opportunity offered." Whetner Judge Hogue will accept the explanation of the guards remains to be een. Acting in conjunction with the court Is Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald, who prosecutes all cases in Judge Hogue's court for the city. Darwin, -when arraigned and while "on trial, was shielded by his wife. She re fused to tell anything until her husband had been imprisoned several days. She then broke down. She Is now confined at Matron Simmons' apartments at police headquarters. Her condition is said to be most pitiable. She is penniless, homeless :uid very HI- She will have to go to the County Hospital soon. OTKDEEER STILL AT LAEGE Police Chase Fiorebello While His Victim Is Borne to Her Grave Largely because of discord that is said to exist between pollco detectives and j Joe riorebello. Deputy Sheriffs, Joe Fiorebello Is still at large, and there is absolutely no clew to his whereabouts, except that he boarded u car for Oregon City immediately after he murdered Amolia Sirianni In her candy stand at 326 First street. The deed was done at 7:45 o'clock- .Friday night. This afternoon, at 2 o'clock, funeral services for the murdered woman -will occur in St. Michaei's Church, Fourth and Mill streets At 11 A. M. requiem mass will b sung. Burial will take place in Loue Fir Cemetery- A report was spread that the funeral occurred yester day, which was an error. Another false rumor that gained -wide circulation was that the woman's divorced husband had secured possession of the body. Since the murder Detectives Hartman and Vaughn and Attorney Albert B. Fer rera have been constantly at Tvork on the case, following up as rapidly as possible every clew reported to Police Headquar ters. Their efforts to capture the fugi tive were unavailing up to a late hour last night. "Lamentable lack of harmony exists between the members of the Police De partment and the Sheriffs office," said Attorney Ferrera last night. "TJiey do not work together at all, it appears. This is causing much annoyance, and gives a decided advantage to the murderer, as he FINDINGS IN HAEE3T EEES CASE Court-Martial Report Shows He Was Found Guilty in All but One. Harry L. Itecs, ex-Major in the Pay master's Department of the United States Army, who was indicted yesterday by the Federal grand jury in connection with the conspiracy to defame .the character of United States District Attorney F. J. Hcncy, was recently convicted of em bezzlement of the Government funds. He was tried by court martial and dishon orably discharged from the Army. In the court martial he was convicted on all counts except one. There were 31 counts In all included In three charges. It was on ono specification in a list of 26 that he was not proved guilty. Major Bees' defalcations had been run ning over a course of several years, but ho had kept tlicm covered until last Sum mer, when he drew a personal check on the First National Bank for ;400, when he did not have the fund3 in tbe bank to cover the check. The findings In the court martial which tried Major Recs at "Vancouver Barracks last November convicted him on three charges, -with the one exception of a single specification. The three charges were: "Making a false report, ia violation of the 61st Article of "War"; "embezzlement, in violation of tho 60th Artlclo of "War." and "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, in violation of tho 61st Ar ticle of War." Having been convicted on these three charges by a military court martial, he was sentenced "to be dismissed from tho service of the United States." On Janu ary H tho sentence was confirmed, and on January 15 he was discharged from the Army. SCORES THE PROPOSITION. H. W. Hodges Says Things Concern Ing Mt. Tabor Annexation Scheme. "About this business of annexation, it is my judgment that there has been a Judas Iscariot among us, and that we have been sold out for a mess of pottage, but "we have not been delivered, and I don't think the scheming, selfish politicians will de liver us," said Secretary IL W. Hodges, of the Mmint Tabor Improvement Asso ciation, who took a heavy fall out of the proposition to annex a portion of Mount Tabor, leaving out Tabor Heights, at the meeting last night. Chairman J. A. Eastman invited an ex pression of opinion from those present on the subject of annexation and Mr. Hodges spoke very bitterly. Ho said that Mount Tabor had been betrayed; that the bill gives a portion of Mount Tabor an op portunity to vote on annexation and shuts out the rest who want to come in. and that it had been smuggled through. Mr. Hodges said that the annexation bill had been secretly prepared, and that no one at Mount Tabor had been able to ascertain just what it contains. A. H. Harding had made a special trip to Salem to find out something about the bill, but came away ignorant and had met with rebuffs in his quest for information. Mr. Hodges declared he had been informed that the .bill proposed to divide up the Mount Tabor school district by cutting out a portion and taking the remainder Inside the city, and leaving the rest out side, compelling the people who were left out to send their children to the Monta villa School, now overcrowded. GIVES JTO - JITS U EXHIBITION General Buenmon Nil and Troupe of Japs Show Fine Points of Science. General Buenmon Nil and his troupe of trained jiu-jltsulan artists gave a return exhibition of this wonderful Japanese art at the Rineler School of Physical Cul ture. Professor Ringler, who has studied this science under General Nil, took part In the exhibition and explained the line points of the science to the large and interested audience present. General Nil and the members of his troupe gave the usual programme In jiu jitsu. This was thoroughly enjoyed by those present, but tho feature of the eve ning was the match between M. Howry and Charles Carlson, the heavy-weight wrestler of the Y. M. C A. The wiry lit tle Jap conceded to Carlson 30 pounds and pitted his jiu-jitsu art against the Ameri can style of wrestling. It was a give-and-take affair, although just before the bout was declared a draw, Howry had Carl son going. Carlson was off the mat and Howry had the jiu-jitsu strangle-hold on him, and if he bad been permitted to have retained his hold he would have conquered the wrestler. General Nil was at his best and gave many exhibitions of jiu jitsu that, while they seemed simple, were very effective. OFFERS REWARD FOR HIS WIFE Spouse of Japanese Baker Missing Since Saturday Morning.
