For the purpose of confrrrlnif with

rresldnt of the North Bank and the
Mill lines In Oregon, Is In St. Paul,
havinc left Portland last Sunday.
It was announced at Mr. Li ray's of
fice TtteMay that he had irone to St.
I'aul to rluse the year's work and to
make plans for lilt, but It Is bettered
that hi mission may be more fruitful
of benenuial results fur Oregon than
mr reports.
When John F. Stevens, Mr. Gray's
predecessor, went to St. Paul a year
" on a similar errand he returned
with many important plans of develop
ment work. Included anionic which was
the Oregon Electric extension from Sa
lem to Kugcne and the completion of
the Oregon Trunk through Central
Oregon.
Extension of the Vnlted Railways to
Tillamook Bay also waa projected at
that time, but unforeseen financial dif
ficulties a few months later caused
work on that project to be postponed.
It Is probable that Mr. Gray will be
authorised now to complete that work.
It Is understood that Mr. Gray Jias
full authority from Mr. Hill to conduct
negotiations with the Northern Pacific
jerrainai Company for the combination
of Portland terminal properties, with
the end of erecting a new Union Depot
In this city. While he has expressed
Ms Intention of taking up the question
with officials of the other Interested
lines before the end of the 'Winter. It
is oelleved that he will confer with
Mr. Hill on this subject before entering;

other topic that may receive considera

together for the purpose of discussing;

Mr. Gray does not expect to be away

he has planned to pass Christmas with
his family here.
to Douglas, Marlon. Klamath and other
counties.
"There are a number of reasons why
the Government cannot grant these re
quests." said Mr. Flnley yesterday. "In
the first place the elk belong to the
State of Wyoming. The Government
has control over them only when they
enter Yellowstone Parle, which Is in
the Summer time, when they are hard
to reach. The public does aot realize
the expense connected with the ship
ping of elk from Wyoming. They must
be crated and shipped over a steep
mountain road. 80 miles to St. Anthony,
Mont. The freight charges from there
to a point In Southern Oregon would
be very heavy. Then, too, we could not
liberate them In many places. They
must be fed and sheltered. The herd
of elk which is to be shipped here in
February will have to be cared for
and the lodges would be doing a good
work In assisting the game warden'a
office to maintain the animals. The
Government simply assists In caring

County Court Is Requested to Ap
point Police to Arrest Oglers of
Women and Enforce Curfew.
A request for the appointment of
three special policemen for the pur
pose of keeping young girls off the
streets at nights, arresting "mashers,"
enforcing the curfew ordinance and
keeping the roatlhouses and question
able resorts constantly under surveil
lance was made yesterday to the Coun
ty Court by a Committee from the So
cial Hygiene Society. The petition was
taken under advisement.
The committee, which called on the
Commissioners and County Judge Clee
ton. included Circuit Judge Gatens, Rab
bi Jonah B. Wise. Dr. Calvin 3. White,
President Foster of Reed College. IL
R. Alhee. Dr. W. T. Williamson. W. H.
Marshall and W. O. Eliot. Jr. Judge
Gatens was the principal spokesman.
He urged that the time to prevent the
spread of the social evil la while young
girls are coaxed Into diverging to the
path toward ruin. He declared that
the police do little or nothing to keep
"rubbering" men off the streets, and
said there are corners in this city
which decent women are afraid to
pass.
The Judge urged that the girls un
der age who roam the streets for the
purpose of -picking up" men be guard
ed from the consequences of their own
Ignorance and folly. They should be
arrested and treated the same
"mashers" If they failed to desist after
warning, be said. The committee told
the County Court that It has selected
three good men who could be relied
upon to do their duty In spite of temp
tatlons.
A salary of 1 1 no a month would be
about right for the special guards, the
members of the committee Intimated.
v nne me county commissioners are
desirous of aiding such a cause, said
Judge Cleeton. they are hesitating be
cause of the extra expense to the tax
payers. The tax levy already promise
to be unusually high. Judge Cleeton
said.

o'clock, in the Morning.

murderer of 4-year-old Barbara Hols
man in an Albina lodging-house March
13. was furnished Deputy Sheriff Leon
ard yesterday by T. Ambrose, a laborer
living at 687 Michigan avenue.
Ambrose declares almost with the em
phasis of certainty that Lochard Is the
man he saw near the corner of Mis
sissippi avenue and Russell street, in
the Immediate vicinity of the murder
scene about 1 o'clock the morning of
March 14. The man who committed the
deed had rented the room the after
noon before and It was about 10
o'clock of the morning referred to by
Ambrose that the discovery of the mur
der was mado by Mrs. Bertha Nelson
the landlady.
Ambrose explains his own presence
In the neighborhood at that early hour
by saying that he was on his way home
after working the greater part of the
night in unloading a boxcar In the O.-

HAWKES TAKEN TO PRISON
Governor West Revokes Parole Given
by Governor Chamberlain.
The parole from the State Peniten
tiary of J. F. Hawkes, the wealthy
East Side resident implicated In a
series of wholesale thefts bjf the con
fession of Leond Lochard. was yes
terday revoked by Governor West
Hawkes was rearrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Phillips and Constable
flail, of Lents, and last night was
taken back to Salem to serve the re
mainder of an indeterminate sentence
of from one to ten years inflicted by
Judge Gantenbeln for horse stealing
on eoruary 6. isos.
Hawkea was paroled by Governor
Chamberlain on February 10, 1909, after
serving the minimum of his sentence.
The law of the state is such that abso
lute power Is placed in the hands of
the Governor to revoke a parole at
any time. It was therefore found not
to be necessary to convict Hawkes un
der the indictments recently found
against blm. following the Lochard
confession, to insure his return to the
State Penitentiary.
Hawkes waa at liberty on heavy ball
and was preparing to make a strong
light to escape conviction. The 'Gov
ernor's action relieves the County of
Multnomah of the trouble and expense
of having him again found guilty. Am
ple ground for the Governor's action
Is found, say the officers, in the fact
that the truth of Lochard's confession
was proved by the recovery from the
basement and other parts of an EaBt
Side residence owned by Hawkes of
great deal of the loot.

cense blank.
On the back of the license will be
printed a brief abstract of the game

the new system will prove a conveni
ence for the sportsmen as well as
helpful to the state game warden and
