REAL DETECTIVES CALLED Valuable Disappear lYom Orphenm Player's Hotel Room Owner Fears People Won't Believe Story Because She's on Stage. Diamonds valued at 110.000 were stolen yesterday from a room in the Alder Hotel. Fourth and Alder streets, occupied by Miss Amy Butler. How'd you guess It? Yes. Miss Butler is an actress, playing In a eklt at the Or pheum this week. But the remarkable feature of the rase Is that it's all true. The press agent sy B.tlert Actress, Victim mt S10.O4W Uiamoad Robber bridled at the suggestion that he was responsible for so frayed a yarn; the theater manager held up his hands and remarked, "(let a new one: that diamond robbery was dead 20 years ago." but Miss Butler didn't smile. It seems that, although Miss Butler admits she Is an uetr-ss and that part of the professional duties of an actress Is to have her Jewels stolen In every metropolis where city editors will stand for It. llO.inKi worth of real dia monds were taken from her room by a real thief and real detectives are now making real efforta to rapture the real thief and restore the real diamonds to the real actress. Sounds like fiction, but it's fact. Immediately on discovering the loss, Misa Butler, accompanied by her brother. Uw Butler, went to detective headquarters and laid the facts before Detectives Day and Hyde. At the sug gestion of the woman. Superintendent Holmes, of the Plnkerton agency, was railed tn and Is working with the city officers on the search for the gems. Deetlvee rut t'asr. Coming two days after the successful hunt for diamonds of nearly an equal value, stolen by a Chinese boy from Miss Pearl Linden and restored to her Sunday, by the same detectives who are engaged on the present case, the co Incidence has aroused muc h comment. Miss Butler last saw her diamonds Monday night, when she consigned them to their usual place in a pocket of an underskirt, which remained hang ing In her room from that time till after noon yesterday, when she went to take It down and observed that it mas much lighter. Daring the night and after the hotel employes cleaned the room, early yesterday, the doors to Miss Butler's rooms and to her brother's, which adjoins, were locked and the keys were In the. locks. It is believed that, while the burglar might have turned the key with pliers, he would not have taken the trouble to go through the same difficult opera tion to lock the door again from the ou'slde. Ths detectives started with absolute ly no clew and are at a loss to figure out how the gems could have disap peared. Miss Butler is positive thst the diamonds were tn the room Monday night and that she had not taken them out from thai time till she discovered the loss, yesterday afternoon. She Im mediately called ner brother, but he was unable to otter any suggestion. Dlaawsdi Warth lu.OOO. "I Just lost my diamonds, worth nearly 1 10.000, and that Is all there is about It." said Miss Butler. "Except for on slight suspicion which may be of value, and may not. t have no notion how they disappeared. Of course. I can't tell you what that suspicion Is till It Is worked out. "Please, please, don't say that they were lost by an actress." she continued. "You know how that will be: every one will smile and say it Is the old game again, and If you let it be known that one In the theatrical business Is the loser. I never shall get my diamonds bark again." Nearly everyone connected with the Investigation waa struck by the Idea that It was In truth the old game." but as the little woman went on with her story. nd showed plainly that aha wished to keep her profession In tha background, their views changed.

Into the State Board of Tax Commis sioners and the State Treasurer's of fice as to the high taxes and the ap parently varying levy In the different counties for state taxes, brought forth a statement from Treasurer Kay to day in explanation of these matters. "The state tax levy for 1912 is 3.44 mills." said the State Treasurer. "But In many countiaa it is found that the state levy will run from four mills up to five mills or even more and the people of these counties are at a loss to understand this condition. "It Is easily explained, however, and the counties are not discriminated against because of this apparent dis crepancy. The state board in making Its equalization always Increases the assnesed valuation of the assessors rather than cut It down. "Take a concrete Instance. For an example, one county sent in an as sessed valuation of 110.000,000. The board might find it necessary. in equalising, to Increase that valuation to 112.000.000. Consequently it would be necessary for that county to make the levy in the specific instance on the ratio of S.44 mills to the ratio be tween 110.000.000 and 112.000.000. Thus the levy might be apparently larsrer. but the actual state taxes paid by that county would be no more than if a levy of 3.44 mills was made against the smaller figure. "We are also constantly bombarded with queries as to how the State Board reaches the equalized value. The board, through ita various agents and clerks, secures data from all the coun ties in the state as to actual land sales. These sales are run down through rec ords and actual considerations shown In deeds and conveyances. "When we secure these results we take the figures of the County Asses sor and compare them to the actual value of the lands and equalize ac cordingly. The hoard last time equal ized on practically a TO per cent basis of the actual cash valuation." HINDU RIOTS CASE ENDED Court Qua.-lies Indictment, of ex Mayor lleudricks of St. John-. tne of the last chapters was added yesterday to the history of the famous St. Johns riots against Hindus, which occurred In the Spring of 1910. when Presiding Judge HavanauKh. on motion of District Attorney Cameron, dis missed the indictment attainst J. F. Hendricks, then Mayor of St. Johns, whlrh Indictment grew out of the trouble. Mr. Hendricks was accused of having neglected to use his au thority as an officer to quell the riots, the specific allegation belnpf that he made no attempt to Interfere in behalf of the Hindu laborers attacked. Hendricks was Indicted by the county grand Jury of April, 191(1. Those named in the Indictment as leaders of the riots. which had for their object the ridding of St. Johns of Hindu laborers, were Gordon Dickey, Kav Van de Bog.ird. John X. Groves. John Hess. Milton L'ncer and Frank Jones. Dickey was singled out as the ringleader and was indicted and con- victcl. the trial bemir held before Judge Coke, uf Marshlield. A motion for a new trial was overruled recently and Judge Coke consented to have Judge Gatens, act in his stead in sen tencing Dickey. Dickey's attorneys. John F. Logan and John II. Stevenson. maie strong efforts to obtain a parole and were successful. Dickey was paroled and ordered to report at regular Intervals to probation orricer vt nue. He Is now working In Eastern Orenon. Dan J. Malarkey. who was employed as special prosecutor by the British Government, which demanded the punishment of the rioters, the Hindus being British subjects, said last night that the reason Hendricks had never been brought to trial was because of a feeling on the part of the prosecution that a conviction could not be obtained. TAFT CAMPAIGN TO START Clnckanias County Republicans Will Hold Blc Kally. OREGON" CITY. Or.. March 5. (Spe cial.) Chairman Stipp. of the county central committee, announced today that the big Republican rally to start the campaign for President Taft In this county would be held on March 1 at Shlvely's Opera-house. C. W. Ful ton. ex-L'nlted States Senator, and C. M. Idleman probably will be the speakers. The plan Is to invite the Republicans of Clackamas County to Join with those of Oregon City in working for the in terest of Mr. Taft. While the senti ment in Clackamas County Is over whelmingly for Mr. Taft, it is thought best to organize a committee to carry on the campaign. Even amonj the Republicans who are friendly to Colo nel Roosevelt, it is felt that the ex I'resident should not be a candidate this year. Among the Republicans who will take an active part in the meeting are W. J. Wilson. J. F. Albright, E. L. Johnson. M. E. Dunn, William Sheahan. W. A. Huntley. C. G. Huntley, B. T. Mi-Bain.

Several of the members of the club notified ihe committee after the close of the meeting that they desired res ervations on the first train. The San Francisco Rotary Club is preparing a special entertainment for Kotarians in the Oregon delegation. V. C McClure, took charge of the meeting after the business session, and introduced John C. McCourt, United States District Attorney, who outlined the work the Government is doing to combat the "white slave" traffic. Mr. McCourt showed that the Government could deal with only those cases in which white slaves were transported from one state to another or wire re they were brought to the I'nited States from other countries. A more sinister and larger system of white slavery, lie declared, exists within the states themselves and since It does not cross the state borders is not within the Federal jurisdiction. The state laws are. however, he said, sufficient to eradicate this evil, if they are thorough ly enforced. "The attitude of the general public." he said, "will be the chief factor in the fight to root out the white slave traffic. It has grown up and flourished because of public Indifference. Once public interest is thoroughly aroused and directed against it, the problem will be quickly solved. The interest the commercial organizations and other bodies are showing, by having this question discussed, as you are doing today, is a good sign, for It indicates a healthy awakening of public senti ment against a practice to which we have been too indifferent In the past." A large supply of Elks booklets were sent to the Rotary luncheon and the guests were requested to ad dress them to Kastern friends, with the assurance that the Klks of Portland would see that they were stamped and mailed.

Mr. Malini appeared in Portland last week with credentials from the leading people in nearly every one of the civilized countries of the world, and. visiting the Portland Tress Club, mystified its members with many tricks, probably the most bewildering ever seen in this city. Since that time he has given pro grammes before other clubs and asso ciations of Portland, and his marvelous powers have become a topic of inter ested conversation in business and so cial circles. Mr. Malini has not announced his programme for tonight, but his promise that he will give the members of the Commercial Club the best tricks that he can perform in an entertainment, con tinuing from o'clock to 10, is suffi cient to indicate that a wonderful treat is In store for all, for Mr. Malini does not repeat a trick after he has once performed it, and it seems that each feat he achieved is more bewildering and remarkable than any that preced ed it.
