Vogel, under indictment In connection with the failure of the Siege private bank and . mercantile enterprises, closed their doors last night by order of the Federal Court in response to a petition by receivers and creditors. But for the assistance promised by other department stores and by char ity workers and employment agencies, 2500 men, women and children would be thrown out of work. Most of these have promises of Jobs. Monday, how ever, and others, it - is expected, will find places before another week is out. C'loaloff Incidents Confusinc Aisles crowded with patrons seeking last-hour bargains, the arrest of a few shoplifters, the appearance of organ izers of the Industrial Workers of the World, the reported presence of agents of questionable employment bureaus offering girls work, and the hysterical weeping of women who had lost their savings in the Siegel bank were inci dents that attended the closing of the stores. Printed lists of reputable employ ment agencies and respectable boarding-houses were distributed among Lie women and girls by social workers who had been informed representatives of white slave agents were mingling with the discharged employes. Hand bills bearing "A Call to the Unemployed" to organize were distrib uted, inviting clerks and shopgirls to attend an I. W. W. mass meeting Mon ' day. Workers of the Girls' Protective League urged the employes not to at tend the I. W. W. meeting. Employes Advised to Steal. Several men who attempted to make street corner addresses to the depart ing employes - advised them to steal bread if they got no opportunity to earn It. A committee representing the deposi tors in the Siegel bank called on the attorneys of Siegel and Vogel today and was informed that the partners had not prepared a new offer of settlement as the depositors were told last night. "In view of the present turn the case has taken it would be impossible for us to make any offer," said Louis S. Levy, of counsel. "We ds not want to hold up the hopes of the depositors only to shatter them. We will not countenance the offer of bad securities, and the depositors can rest assured that whatever is offered with our sanction will be bona fide.' r - s.- 4 if - .A.s vj a v m MRS.

And but for the presence of Miss Clorine Emery and Albert N. St. John, Constables, there would have been neither bridesmaid nor best man.

"Let's go get a drink was the" bride groom's invitation as his recently" ae-. quired wife sat down by the stove in the justice's office and calmly lighted an old clay pipe.

Birds Travel Nearly 10,0 00 Miles In Crates and Are Hardy When Portland Is Reached Foot x hills Place of Freedom. Before many years the sportsmen of Oregon will have an entirely different kind of game bird to hunt. It is the Hungarian or ' Bohemian partridge, which is now being imported into Ore gon. The last shipment of E50 . pairs, brought over by Max Mueller, are now being distributed in the foothill dis tricts of tne state. Though' coming nearly 10,000 miles in crates, the birds showed great hardi ness and few died on the voyage. This can also be attributed to the unique manner in which Max Mueller handled them. They came in crates, built in apart ments, like the modern flat building. The feeding troughs were nailed to the outside and in that manner the bird3. though connned, were fairly com fortable. Birds Really Bohemian. In speaking of the birds Mr. Mueller, special representative of the state on two such trips, said: "Those birds are erroneously called Hungarian, when, as a matter of fact, there are more of them in Bohemia. The Bohemian foothill country is much like that of Oregon and for that rea son the birds should be ideal for the Oregon fields. ' "The birds are very popular as a game species in all of the European lands. England, alone, imports from 40,000 to 50,000 each year. "The bird is very hardy, the seasonal changes- in Bohemia being . extreme. Snow covers the fields for several months in their native land and in Summer It is very hot. "The birds remain much in the neighborhood where they are placed. This is also an advantage as a game species. In this manner some of the troubles of 'the State Fish and Game Commission will be solved. Birds Live Long. "The birds are considered tull grown at the age of six monthe and live more than 10 years. "In Bohemia catching the birds be gins in 'August and ends in January. Their capture is accomplished by means of "skynets." These are seven to eight feat high and pegged to the ground. They are 40 yards long. The birds fly into, them and get tangled in the meshes and finally fall in the trap bag. "Another method Is to get a crew of men and drive them along the ground into pockets made of nets. The catcher gets into the field before dawn and finds out where the birds are stay ing. When the covey is once dis covered the hunter needs have no fear that the bird will not be there again.- "The next evening the hunter goes into the field with five or more com panions and a high net is placed. " The birds are then disturbed and driven into the net. The bird never struggles after it is caught, and this makes it a good species to handle. . "The birds are taken from the field in willow and canvas hampers. Flight Is Prevented. "In releasing them, the crate ie taken near some hedge or growth. Wheat is spi-ead under the branches. The birds are immersed In water to prevent their flying, and they are then turned loose. "They , go for the hedge where, the wheat is and take readily to their new quarters. - . "The birds in size are half way be tween the grouse and the pheasant. It 'is hard to tell the male from the female. Some claim that the horse shoe mark of brown on the breast is certain distinction, but when the birds are older, the female develops a sim ilar marking which is sometimes as plain as that of the male." Several years ago, at the direction of William L. Finley, then State Game Warden, ome of the birds were im ported. These have prospered east of Salem. They are found to propagate rapidly and have taken to the country. The last birds were purchased from one of the largest dealers In the busi ness. They cost from $1.20 to $1.50, according to the season. Whiting's Papeteries 50c Finest Grade Papeteries; special 37 70c "Nell Rose" Border .
