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.

LETTER
REQUIRE
EXPLAINED
Methodist Preachers Take Up
Manning Indorsement by
Clarence True Wilson.
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.

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?"
