NUN IS FUGITIVE,
5. V. Davidor Flees From Arm
of Law "Just in Nick
of Time."
DEPUTIES BEGIN SEARCH
TnltPd Stales Marshal Reed Ex
presses Beller- That Missing
Man Has Gone North
Toward Canada.
S. V. Davidor, a real estate dealer,
who was Indicted Wednesday by the Fed
eral grand jury, on a charge of having
lined the United States malls for the
purpose o' defrauding, has disappeared
from Portland. and United States
Marshal Reed, who has deputies on the
missing mans trail, stated last night
that he has reason to believe that Davi
dor left this city for Puget Sound, and
Is probably on his way to British Co
lumbia. It was learned yesterday, also, that
Miss Josephine Faber, stenographer for
"Davidor. has also disappeared.
Operations Are Varied.
About two years ago. Davidor came to
Portland, and took a si'ite at the Port
land hotel. He opened elaborate offices In
the Corbett building, and Invested heav
ily In telephone bonds.
Loss of money in these caused him to
be more modest In liia expenditure, and
he gave up his expensive office rooms
and engaged ordinary offices In the Wells
Fargo -building. Here he made nattering
offers In real estate, using the Pacific
Northwest Realty Associates and the
Taquina Valley .Fruit- & Land Company
as mediums for the deals, the companies
toeing organized by himself.
Various civil suits have been filed
gainst Davidor by people who have lost
money through him. It is alleged In the
Indictments that Davidor never owned
the lands he offered for eale, and his de
scriptions as to boundaries' were o In
definite that they could not be properly
located.
One of the charges against Davidor Is
selling stock In the Northwest Realty
Associates, representing that the com
pany had paid large dividends, when In
reality no real dividends had been paid.
Authorities Begin Search.
It In expected that special effort will
be made to .locate and capture Davidor.
even though he has gone to Brltieh
Columbia.
"I believe the man discovered recently
that the arrajid jury was Investigating his
case." said United States Marshal Reed
last night. "He probably discovered that
some witnesses had been brought here
to testify against him. and he got out of
the city in time to avoid getting ar
rested." ONE OF VICTIMS, SAYS RAFIELD
Man Accused With DaTidor Denies
He Is Accomplice.
M. 9. Rafleld, who has been named as
a confederate of S. V. Davidor In the
latter's alleged Illegal operations In this
city, declared yesterday that he Is more
of a victim of Davidor than he Is an
accomplice. Mr. Rafleld declares that. In
stead of being associated in any way with
Davidor. who was a stranger to him, he
was taken in by Davidor for about $800
In real money.
"I am comparatively a stranger In
Portland." said Mr. Rafleld yesterday,
"but I have Invested in property and
expect to make my home In this city.
Naturally I take serious exception to the
Intimation that I am associated in any
way with Davidor. who. until recently,
was a perfect stranger to me. Some time
ago Davidor applied through a reputable
agent to me for a loan on a piece of
property he claimed to own. Davidor
said the property was mortgaged for
S250A. but was badly In need of money and
agreed If I would advance him $S0O he
would give me a deed to the real estate.
I Insisted that before I would make the
loan Davidor should execute the deed
and furnish me with an abstract, which
he did. I took the papers to a local ab
stract office, where they were approved.
I then made the loan. That Is the only
business transaction I have ever had with
Davidor. It now develops that I am
probably one of Davldor's victims to the
extent of my Investment."
DEAL OF DAVIDOTTS EXPLAINED
J. M. Hanslmalr Tells How He Knew
Promoter.
PORTLAND. Nov. 25. (To the Editor.)
In an article In The Oregonian regarding
S. V. Davidor. I see my name mentioned.
I would thank you if you will allow1 me
to make a short statement of facts about
my dealings with Davidor. Through An
advertisement I called at Davldor's office
and during conversation mentioned that
I had a $12,000 mortgage that I would
discount, as I needed cash. He told me
he might be able .to aell it for me. If his
attorney would approve of the secuTlty. I
left hlra my papers for examination.
Later he made me an offer of a store
building belonging to a Mr. Dleck and
come cash.
This offer I accepted after meeting Sfr,
Dieck and his attorney at Davldor's of
fice, on condition that Mr. Dieck could
furnish a good abstract. During the time
Dieek went for the abstract I asked
Davidor about commission, and he men
tioned a fee I wold not pay. I took my
papers and left his office, and that Is
the only business I ever had with Mr.
Davidor or with Mr. Dieck.

TRAIN SERVICE IMPROVING
Worst Trouble on Harriman Lines
Is on Corvallis & Eastern.
With the cessation of rain yesterday, a
material Improvement followed in the
train service on the main and branch
lines of the Harriman system in Western
Oregon. The principal trouble reported
yesterday was on the corvallis at east
ern, between Albany and Taquina, dis
abled bridges and washouts making it al
most impossible to maintain anything like
a satisfactory service.
While In places the track on the main
line of the O. R. & N. and the South
ern Pacific was soft, necessitating the
cautious operation of trains, the regular
schedule was followed as nearly as the
unfavorable conditions would permit.
Difficulties on the Woodburn-Sllverton
branch, caused by the freshet were
largely overcome yesterday, so that It
was possible to maintain the regular op
eration of trains. Barring further rain,
the Harriman officials expect conditions
will enable the regular operation of all
trains not later than today.

GIRL LEADS ROBBER GANG
Jersey City Youngster Admits Steal
ing From Coal Company.
NEW YORK Annie Sexton, aged 10
years, admitted to Judge Queen in the
Second Criminal Court. Jersey City,
that she was the leader of a gang of
boys and girls of her own age who
had been robbing the plant of the
Wertheim Coal Company at Pacific
avenue and grand street, in that city.
Annie had in her possession a gimlet
let with which she bored holes into the
coal chute, allowing the coal to run out
into a vacant lot. Then the girl and her
companions would fill up bags and
buckets and cairy away the coal.
The company told the police that the
robberies had been going on for several
weeks, and that' many tons of coal had
been stolen.
Edward Hays, aged 11, was also

of the Sexton girl that she was an In
veterate cigarette ftend.
The youthful prisoners were sent to
a reformatory.

heavy Immigration to Idaho, which he
says is made up mostly of a good clas9
of farmers, men who have been success
ful in their former homes In the Eastern

Irrigated farming, coupled with the pro
ductiveness of the soil and reasonable
price of the land.

Buchtel Has Data.
Joseph Buchtel, who took the lead In
the campaign for the closing of the draws
In 1902, said yesterday that he had valu
able statistics that he would like to pre
sent favoring the closing of the draws,
and he will make an effort to have them
forwarded, with other data to Washing
ton by the Army engineer, before whom
the hearing was held.
"We can prove," said Mr. Buchtel yes
terday, "that there are more people
crossing the bridges In one Jay than go
up and down the river on craft in a whole
year. Therefore, we foel that the bridge
traffic is entitled to the right of way at
least two hours out of the 24 of each
day.
"If the Government will come to our
aid, and will force many of the small
steamers to carry smoke stacks that can
be lowered, there will not be much trou
ble about the use of the draws. It is not
the passing of the large, sea-going ves
sels that makes so much difference, as
It is the small steamers of the river,
nearly all of which would pass under the
bridges if the smoke stacks were low
ered." County "Willing to Help.
Lionel R. Webster, Counts Judge, said
yesterday that the County Court is will
ing to place men on the bridge to count
the people who pass during the various
hours of the day, and have the result
forwarded to Washington. He also ex
pressed himself as in favor of having the
smaller craft provided with smoke stacks
than can be lowered to permit their pass
ing under the bridges.
In 1894, the City Council of Chicago
passed an ordinance authorizing the
draws of bridges across the Chicago
River to be closed two hours each morn
ing and 4he same length of time each
evening. Later the Government took
over the control of the navigation of the
river, but the city ordinance providing
the closing of the draws has remained
effective. In spite of protests. Proposals
for passing a city ordinance In Portland,
like that in effect in Chicago, were made
In Portland in 1902. and yesterday it was
suggested again by some of those inter
ested. Mayor Simon was asked last night what
he thought of the plan. He declared that
it would not operate successfully. He
had looked up the law, and found that
severe penalties are imposed by Federal
laws. If the bridges are not opened when
signaled to do so.
