MOTHER IN PURSUIT
Trail Chills While Gown Is Be
ing Finished.
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.

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

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. I should thus

fined fewer girls in lodging-houses who
are supposed to be staying with girl
friends.
"Third. 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

Indeed to commend tlie Improvements which
have been made in the Casino under your
management. Many of the objectionable
features which were seen formerly in this
place have been done away with, and the
additional room is a icreat improvement. We
are sorry that you have decided to open
the dance hall on Sunday, for you had won
some friends by your former attitude. Very

Human Body Mole's Home.
PATERSON. N. J.. Feb. 27. 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.

Now Mr. Morris puts several coins in
his ear in the same manner that the
Englishman puts the monocle in his
eye. Whenever he wants a nickel,
dime or quarter he tickles the lobe of
his ear and dislodges a coin.
At first it was rather awkward, but
now Mr. Morris is used to it. He finds
the new scheme particularly useful in
