SON FOUND IN PORTLAND Father Kscapes Again, After Chase That Has Covered 3000 Miles. Woman in Anger Accuses Police and Detectives. Waiting: two rfays in Tacoma, that a tailored suit she "was having: made tnigrht be finished, though urged by Chief pf Police Cox in telegrams to hurry here, resulted in the disappoint ment again of Mrs. W. P. Carpnter, a wealthy Seattle flivorcee, in her search for her former husband and 10-year-old son. Mrs. Carpenter has journeyed a month, traveling 3000 miles, partly by automobile. She declares that custody of the boy was awarded by an Iowa court - to her. About four weeks ago the father, she alleges, kidnaped him and she has been relentlessly in pur ' suit. Boy Gone, Chase Begins. At the time of the alleged kidnaping Mrs. Carpenter lived in Seattle. The father had moved there a short time before and by order of court received the privilege of visi-tlng his son. Sev eral times he took the boy down to the docks to watch the ships in the harbor. From one of these excursions they did not return and a search was instituted . by Mrs. Carpenter. It led tlrst to St. Paul, from there to Carrol ton, la., their former home, thence to Chicago and from there to Billings, Mont. In Billings she almost caught them, but Just as the officers were preparing to take Carpenter into custody, he learned of her presence, and, being un able to take a train at- once, left the city in an automobile with his son and grown daughter. Mrs. Carpenter se cured an automobile and the chase led for miles across the Montana plain. Carpenter escaped. Detectives at Work. Private detectives from Seattle were set to work otv. the case, and they lo cated Carpenter in the Perkins Hotel in Portland. Mrs: Carpenter tele graphed to Chief Cox for confirmation. IJetective Day found Carpenter, the boy and daughter in the hotel. Mrs. Carpenter was advised to come here at once and obtain a warrant. That was a week ago today, and she arrived two days later, only to find that Carpenter had disappeared again. She at once announced the belief that her ex-husband was toeing pro tected by the police and secured the services of the Tennant Detective com pany, a private agency. . A retaining fee of $10 was paid down, but nothing was found to Indicate the whereabouts of the man. She then accused the pri vate sleuths of being insincere and demanded the- return of her money. This finally was conceded to her. Mrs. Carpenter is firm in the belief that her husband and son are in Portland and is now conducting a hunt on her own two years ago inherited nearly $100,000 in Iowa. Though they had been happy before, they separated soon afterward and the divorce followed. OCTOCiKNARIAN AND OREGON PIO.VEKR OF 1850 DIBS AT PORTLAND HOME. , 7?r !t " it f vk :? - " ,$36 J t l 5 (l The Late Joseph Brisblne. Joseph Brlsbine. who died last Saturday at his home at 333 Third street, was a pioneer Bettler of Oregon. Born in Pennsylvania in October, 1829, he 'crossed the plains to California in ISfiO. and a year later traveled north to Yam hill County, Oregon, where he made his home. In July of 1853 he married Miss Kllzabeth D. Allen, and they continued to make their home in Tamhill County until 1S89, when they moved to Portland. Of their six children, four still survive two sons and two daughters. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning from Ktnley's chapel, and Interment will follow in the family plot at Cornelius. Or. OUNCE-HULLS EVIL Mrs. Baldwin Denies She Op poses Suppression. MENACE TO YOUNG SEEN 'Regulation Is Alternative Only if Abolishment Cannot Be Accom plished Calls Council Dis- grace to the City. Declaring that she had been misrepre sented, and that she stood for the abolish ment of dancehalls, and not their regula tion, Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, head of the woman's auxiliary to the police depart ment, last night made the following state ment: "I have read with astonishment in The Oregonian that I am quoted as opposed to closing the public dancehalls. It does not seem possible that any one would be lieve that article who knows anything about the work in which I have been engaged in Portland during the past five years. "Let me say that I have never been in favor of any kind of a dancehall, either officially or personally. If the dancehalls have had an arch enemy it has been the Department of Public Safety for Young Women.. We have fought them every step of the way and by every method at our disposal. Evil Is Unmitigated. "Dancehalls are an unmitigated evil. They are the threshold to the wineroom and the brothel. The records of the wom en's department show more girls ruined through this Influence than any other, and a recent police judge of this city stated in open court that 90 per cent of the young women who came before him dated their downfall to public dancehalls. "In spite of ail this, we have never been able In Portland to wipe them all out. Council Crest has been a disgrace to a civilized community ever since danc ing was permitted there. Upon my com plaint, the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company closed the dancehall at the Vancouver Ferry, although it was outside the city limits. "No one knows better than we that the dancehalls are recruiting stations for pros titution. If any one doubts this, visit the lodging-houses early the next morn ing. The best regulated dancehall In the world Is no place for an innocent girl, and it is this girl who often is seen there. Girls are always admitted free and are thus used as bait to draw trade. A girl at 18 years is no. more able to protect herself than a minor from such pernicious associations. It is not so much what oc curs on the dancing floor as the results which follow. Boys Tempted, Too. "As for boys, the records of the Police Court last week, when a woman of . 40 was convicted of soliciting young men in the Casino dancehall, were so foul that the court room had to be cleared. This one case showed three women implicated with boys 19 and 20 years of age. "In Maple Pavilion some time ago a mature woman, a stranger, passed her cards for a disreputable house to mere boys. "The chief, captains and officers have done their best, but dance-halls are money-makers and the police department has not been supported as it should have been. Chief Cox's recommendations to close these places on Sunday was dis regarded. "We have had constant trouble with girls going from dance-halls to near-by saloons. We were able to get a license revoked some months ago of the cafe under Merrill's Hall, but it was a bitter fight and had to come before the whole Council. Some Improvement Noted. "It was promised at that time that no saloon should be placed near to a pub lic dance-hall for obvious reasons. We understand there Is to be a new one near the Casino, though we have ob jected to the lessee of the building. "The best we have been able to do thus far s to insist upon a little mode decency and some restrictions. The Casino has made great improvements at the sug gestion of the police department. The letter which is inclosed speaks for it self, and was not written as an indorse ment of 'the proposition in any sense, but we will always be fair enough to note improvement. "If the city authorities see fit to license these places and we must have them as a menace to our young people, then I have but one duty and that is to make them as safe as possible along my line of work. "I made these recommendations, after stating always that they ought to all be closed. "First. No Sunday dance-halls. "Second. Close them at 11 P. M., as the young folks usually eat afterward and this will send them home with the crowds from the theaters. Instead of after mldniKht as now.

No dancing should be per mitted with lights turned down. "Fourth. Girls must not go unaccom panied. Abolishment Is Urged. "If the Mayor can close every dance hall in Portland he may surely depend upon the Department of Public Safety for Young Women to aid in every possible way. This has been done in. other cities; why not in Portland? This department stands for abolishment, not regulation." The letter to the proprietor of the Casino dance-hall, to which Mrs. Baldwin refers in her statement, is as follows: February 10. 1910. Mr. Dan Baker. Man ager raalno Dance Hall. Portland. Or. Dear Sli : While the Department of Public Safety for Younic Women cannot In any Bense.

Miss Katherlne Purcell has the unusual med ical distinction of unwittingly harbor ing a live mole in her body for sev eral months. For weeks Miss Purcell has suffered pains in her chest. The pain gradually worked up in her throat. She seemed likely to die. although the doctor was unable to diagnose the case. It became apparent that the cause of the trouble was a mole, which Miss Purcell had apparently swallowed when it was very small and which kept alive until it reached full size. . . It was removed alive, but died soon afterward. Miss Purcell, the doctor said, will suffer no serious effects from her experience.
