detectives to be responsible for many
burglaries and holdups In Portland and
elsewhere. Captain Moore has Infor
mation that James Dahl an associate
of Riley and member of ths gang, is
now under arrest In Tacoma. Dahl Is
also wanted in Portland on the charge
of being Implicated In tbe burglary of
the residence of Mrs, W. R. Patterson.
80S North Seventh street, last April.
Klley admits taking part tn this bur
glary. Considerable silverware and
other property stolen from the Patter-
terson residence were recovered by
Detectives Coleman and Snow.
Doyle yesterday told that Riley was
his companion In tb burglary of the
Grnsst horn and Rave a good descrlp'
tlon of him. Captain Moore immedi
ately telegraphed the description to all
points near Portland.
In detective headquarters Riley told
Captain Moor that he bad served a sen
tenre tn San Qnentln. He said he shot
at Hlbbs Saturday night to give Doyle
a chalice to run. He threw the revolver
Into the brush and stripped himself of
Jewelry stolen from the Grusal residence.
The police agreed yesterday that Hlbbs
showed great nerve, but Hlbbs was be
comingly modest about It.
Burglar Opens Fire.
"When Mrs. Grussl and her daughter,
who had Just came home and frightened
the burglars away, came to my door,"
said Hlbbs yesterday, "I started toward
their house with a gun and saw two
men standing across the street. They
came across aa I came down the street
and stood In front of me. I showed my
gun and ordered them tn stand still,
while Mrs. Grussl telephoned to the po
lice. When she came bark and told
me that the patrol was coming the older
man. who waa about six feet from me.
drew his gun. whirled around and shot
at me. Then he started down Hazel
street, shooting once over his shoulder.
As soon as he got into the frrass he be
gan to shoot again and X answered, nine
shots being about the whole number
fired. I could only fire fct the flash of
his snm; for I could not see him at all.
'After he got through snooting ana
gave up the Idea of scaring me away,
his partner started up Elliot avenue,
but I called to him to halt and he
stopped until tbe patrol wagon came."
Most of Jewels Recovered.
The elder of the two burglars Is de
scribed by Hlbbs as a man of 25 years of
age. weighing about 170 pounds and being
dark-complexioned.- He Is thought to be
half-breed Indian. He is heavy st
and 5 feet inches tall and wore old
and dirty clothes.
All but (50 worth of the Jo00 worth of
jewelry stolen from tbe Grussl home was
recovered yesterday morning, having
been thrown in the bushes in Central
Park tn Ladd's AJdltlon. That the rob
bers had been thorough In planning the
Job is shown by their laying out of arti
cles which the arrival ot Mrs. Grussl
prevented them from taking away. The
house was entered from a back window.
In which the glass was broken to allow
the burglars to get at tbe window catch.
Doors had been opened from the Inside
to allow of easy escape.

GERMANS HELP OREGON
CAMPAIGN TO IXDTJCE IMMI
GRATION CONTEMPLATED,
CLEAN CITY IS OUTCOME
WOMAN'S CIvCB COMMITTEES
ACCOMPLISHING RESULTS.
Direct Appeals to Property Owners
Made and Police Will Co-operate
In Future Work.
With more than 100 places found on
the West Side during Saturday's cam
paign of the "cleanup committees" of
the Women's Club, and the Bast Side
divided into districts assigned to mem
bers for Inspection today, the work for
cleaner Portland In preparation for
the Rose Festival is covering thoroughly
all quarters of the city. No place has
been overlooked and the committee is
tabulating the cases reported and will
submit Its findings to the police depart
ment for action.
The police department, according to the
women engaged in the campaign, is co
operating with the committee, and In all
cases thus far reported prompt action
has been taken. In many Instances there
has been a half-hearted attempt to clean
up, sufficient being done by the holders
to place the property beyond the letter
of the law as to uncut grass and litter,
but thorough cleaning has been neg
lected. In these cases the committees
have gone directly to the property own
ers and have urged them with good re
sults to making the cleaning thorough.
Downtown streets are receiving the
serious attention of the members of the
committee, and it is their opinion that
the downtown street-cleaning force is
inadequate to tho needs ot the depart-
Lnient. Vacant lots on the West Side are
also among the most serious of the
marks left upon the beauty of the city.

Hope of Developing Industry of

bor 19 Entertained.
To launch a campaign to induce Ger
man citizens to come to Oregon, a
meeting will be held at the Portland
Commercial Club this afternoon, when
details of the movement will be worked
out. The plan was initiated by the
German-speaking societies of Oregon
and will be indorsed by the Portland
Commercial Club and business inter
ests of Oregon.
- The representative association Jn
Oregon is the German Staats Vcrbund.
with an executive committee composed
of O. C. Bortsmeler. W. A. Mall, P. A.
Freeman, J. O. Elrod and T. N. Stop
penbach. Charles H. Carey, who is in
terested in the movement to bring In
dustrious Germans and other foreign
ers of Northern Europe to Oregon, will
speak at today s meeting.
One of the important industries in
the Willamette Valley that is not be
ing developed as rapidlv as it should
be ' Is dairying, in the belief cf Mr.
Carey. He-said that on account r.f the'
nature of the work and the lung hours
it was difficult to secure the best kind
of employes for the dairies.
"We must look to the dairying coun
tries of Europe to supply us with the
kind of labor that will aid us in solv
ing the problems here," said Mr. Carey.
'The German-speaking societies will
co-operate with the Portland Commer-.
cial Club and other organizations in
bringing here the class of Europeans
needed to work in the dairies. More
workers and more intensive farminsr
are needed for the development of tiie
Willamette Valley. .
