3 TTTE MCmXiyG OREGOyiAy, SATURDAY, APRFL 11, 1914. 8 ire CONFESS III ROBBERY PROBE New Names Secured and New , Arrests Expected in Store- Looting Conspiracy. $3500 LOOT RECOVERED Five of tho Accused Women Are in Jail Mrs. Crear Clears Her Daughter Sylvia, and Shows Hiding: Place of Property. ' Sworn confessions were made by a dozen women Thursday, in which they are said to have bared the part they took in the systematic robbery of lo cal department and jewelry stores, ac cording to District Attorney Evans and Deputy Robison, who, with Detective Hyde, are investigating the thefts. No new warrants were made, though sev eral new names are said to have been mentioned in the confessions. Approximately $3500 worth of wear ing apparel, silverware and jewels had been recovered up to midnight. Though Deputy Robison refused to make a positive statement last night, it is be lieved more arrests will follow., Five of the women, charged 'either with having helped to steal the goods or with the reception of it, were de tained in' jail last night. Sylvia Crear, daughter of Mrs. Klla Crear. who is alleged to have been one of the leaders in the. conspiracy,, was released yester day on her own recognizance. Mr. Evans said last night that she had act ed at the direction of her mother and ilrs. Rhude, and had only been impli cated in taking a - single dress from uirnian, Wolfe & Co. Mrs. Crear, in an effort to protect her daughter, yesterday morning made a. full statement to the officials, in which she is said to have exonerated her daughter from all blame: Sylvia Crear, a 19-year-old girl, is a student in a local high school, and Mr. Evans .said he did not believe he was justified in holding her longer In jail. The five -women still confined in jail are Mrs. Delia Rhude, who with Mrs. Crear, is Relieved to be the leader; Mrs.. Crear, Mrs. Louise Entreken and. her sister. Miss Frances Zallonder, and Mrs. Min nie Hall. In addition there are several persons ncld under ball as witnesses or princi pals, who have made statements to the officials. It is not believed by either Mr. Evans, Deputy Robison or Detective Hyde that any appreciable amount of the stolen property has been shipped out of town for sale. Some of the dresses, it is believed, have been sent away to friends of those implicated, but were not sent In sufficient quantity for sale. Though only about 3500 worth of property has been recovered. Deputy Robison said last night that he believes more than $6000 worth has been stolen. After the statements made by Mrs. Rhude and Mrs. Crear yesterday morn ing the three investigators searched Mrs. Crear's home and found a gold watch, amethyst and gold beads, cuff buttons, gold bracelet, amethyst ring, two solid silver vanity cases, two solid silver mesh purses, silver and gold buckles, a gold chain and gold knives. Mrs. Rhude voluntarily surrendered a 'diamond Lavalliere. two diamond rine-a and a gold watch, which Bhe said she had secured from Mrs. Crear in ex change for wearing apparel. One new development yesterday was that some of the apparel that has been taken from Lipman, Wolfe & Co. has been exchanged at the store for cash. Mrs. Entreken returned one $22 coat during the ruth Christmas sea sen last year, and received the cash for It, one of the women told the offi cials, and it is possible that other stolen gowns and apparel have been returned and converted into money. The largest assortment of dresses was found at Mrs. Crear's home. She had secured them from Mrs. Rhude, she said. For some of them she said she had given silverware and jewelry, and others she had taken to be sold when an opportunity arose. These gowns were neatly packed away in a cedar chest. Dates for the preliminary hearings on the complaints filed against eight of the women have not been set. It Is probable that the hearings will not be held until some time next week, so that the officials may check up all the evmence tney nave gathered. Technology and Schenley Park, built over the roofs of two bureau build ings, in an amphitheater seating 20, 000 persons are two of the features In cluded in the building plan of the new experiment station of the United States Bureau of Mines, which will soon be erected around Panther Hollow, near Schenley Park. The portion of Panther Hollow above the power buildings of the general ex periment station group, and near the present Carnegie Tech athletic field, will be arranged as a miners' field, the slopes of the ravine being utilized for the seating arrangements of the am phitheater, where the 20.000 specta tors may assemble to witness demon strations and tests in mine rescue and flrst aid work. The two buildings over which the roadway to the park and schools will run will be somewhat apart from the rest of the buildings of the station. The main group consists of three buildings, the central, or mining build, ing, a three-story structure, and the mechanical and chemical buildings which will flank it. In the rear of these, and inclosing a court, will be the service building. The entrance to a series of mine shafts, will be between the main group and the power and fuel buildings. One of the shafts will contain an elevator for use in carrying heavy material and passengers from the lower level to the upper, another will be for tests of hoisting rooes nnii imilar mining appliances, and a third will offer an entrance to tunnels ex- tenaing uimer the buildings, in which mining experiments, such as fighting mine fires, will be conducted.

REPLY IS "SATISFACTORY" Mr. Wilson Said to Have Declared He Had Intended Letter as Per sonal Only; Mr. Manning Is sues Statement of Position. As a result of a letter purported to have been written by the Rev. Clarence True Wilson, former pastor of the Cen tenary Methodist Episcopal Church of Portland, Indorsing the candidacy of John Manning for the Democratic nomi nation for Governor, the Methodist Preachers' Association of Portland pro tested and asked Mr. Wilson for an explanation. At a recent meeting of the Preachers' Association, at which the letter was one of the principal topics of discussion, a committee consisting of Rev. Delmer H. Trimble, chairman: Rev. C. C. Rar ick and Rev. W. H. Fry was appointed to investigate. This committee sent Mr. Wilson at Topeka. Kan., a telegram said by Mr. Trimble last night to have been substantially as follows: "We, a committee of your friends, unanimously backed by the Preachers' Association, believe that you Imperil your future, your society and mis represent many of your friends by in dorsing Manning. It is against the grain in Oregon at this time. Better recall what you have done. Office for ward by wire. Wire us your intended course." In a letter replying to this telegram. Rev. Mr. Wilson made an explanation which Rev. Mr. Trimble said last night explained his course to the full satis faction of the Preachers' Association. This explanation, Mr. Trimble said, was in effect that a C. W. Llvesley. of Woodburn, had written to Mr. Wilson, asking him what he thought of Man ning when Manning was District At torney of Multnomah County. To this Mr. Wilson said he had replied that he had formed a favorable opinion of Mr. Manning at that time and believed in him. "Mr. Wilson explained to us," said Mr. Trimble, "that he had meant this as a private and personal letter, in re ply to a personal question, and that an improper use had been made of private correspondence In circulating its con tents as a campaign argument In be half of Mr. Manning's candidacy. He disclaimed any Intention of Indorsing Mr. Manning for campaign purposes. He also said that he was not a Demo crat, that he won't vote in the Oregon primary, and that he will not help Mr. Manning In any way.

One ot the sentences contained In Mr. Wilson's original letter, to which objection was made by the Preachers' Association, is said to have been: "1 was associated in a measure as a pas tor at the time District Attorney Man ning cleaned up the city and I know of his good work." That any copies of the letter had been sent out by them was denied by Mr. Manning's campaign manager last night. Mr. Manning made the follow ing statement: Returning from a trip through the state. I note on the first paco of the Journal or April 9 that the Methodist Preachers' As sociation, by unanimous protest wired their dissent and criticism to Lr.

The language of his protest, to-wlt: "You Imperil your future" Is a threat to ths doc tor that cannot be supported by any man wno asserts tne ngnt or tree choice In mat ers or pontics, and the doctor, who is a ine American citizen, will probably refuse to be threatened from his convictions.

Woodlark Building Alder Street at West Park SUNDAY IS SCORED METHODS TOO EXPENSIVE Demand That All fliu relies Close Stirs AVrath or Pastors, Who Be lieve Results Are Not Worth Big; Price Paid to Him. NEW YORK, April 4. Violent at tacks on "Billy" Sunday and bis evan gelistic methods, with figures Intended to prove that his crusades for -Christianity were expensive. Ineffectual and unaiK-mrieu. were Heard at tne meetina- or the Methodist ministers of afanhat tan, Brooklyn and the Jersey confer ence. The attacks on Sunday became so bitter than one minister the Rev. Dr. C. F. Reianer, of Grace Church, pre vailed on the body to go into a session behind closed doors. One of the chief complaints heard was that Sunday has little respect for the cloth, and shows It when he is en gap-ed on an evangelistic campaign. "If you criticise 'Billy' Sunday he tells you to sro to hell," was a report by the Rev. K. K. Piper, pastor of a Pitts burg church, who was a part of the Pittsburg machine organized to con duct the recent campaign in that city. Mr. Piper also asserted that Sunday abused the Protestant churches "in the worst kind of blllina-saate. but never once said auorht against the Roman Catholic Church." There were 350 ministers present. Many of them sought a chance ta speak, and the applause at the attacks on Sunday indicated that the ministers Bo not favor bringing Sunday to this town for a religious revival. One of the Rev. Mr. Plner'a eom. plaints anent the Pittsburg campaign was that converts at the Sunday rate do not pay. He said the expense had Deen isv.uuo. and that the number of persons induced to Join all churches In Pittsburg as a result of the campaign was 3107. Xew York Methodists declared thev could do better themselves. They con cluded that about 11 In 100 of tho 107 converts would stick, possibly 12 and mat uo church members or less, at a cost of 190,000 In money and a vast aeai or hard work, was a too high price. It amounts to more than 260 per convert the calculation being: that there were about 341 of them. One hundred and sixty-two Pittsburg churches Joined In the Sunday cam paign. Sixty reported no converts re ceived. One hundred and two reported 1709 actual members received and 1400 indirectly. There was much complaint against Sunday's requirement that the churches close during his campaign. Former Superintendent Chadwick. of the Mon day conference, expressed It thus: "Are we ready to get down on our knees to Sunday? Do we want to close up 9S of our churches In order that Sunday may manage them? Shall our Protestant churches in New York go out of business for a month that Sun day may have something; to do?"
