THE MORNING OBEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1914. 16 "JUNETHE BLONDE" MAY GAIN FREEDOM Four Victims of Bad-Check Dealing Willing to Drop Charges Against Her. MOTHER TO PAY LOSSES Woman, Infatuated With Crook Con sort, Still Protests Love for Fugi tive Ball Jiot Yet Furnished. Hearing Is Tne Soon. Mrs. Kota Pierce Helm, better known as "June the Blonde," accused of pass ing bad checks In Portland, may be released by the authorities upon pay ment by her mother ot approximately $200 she is said to have obtained from four Portland business houses. Her attorney, John Shillock, is trying to arrange this outcome of the woman's troubles. He has received assurances from each of the firms said to have been defrauded that it will gladly accept a return of the money and withdraw its charge. All seem to feel sympathy for the young woman. Foor Firms Defrauded Checks are alleged to have been passed by "June the Blonde" upon A. & C. Feldenheimer. L Aronson, Lowey & Co. and the Eastern Outfitting Com pany, all of which, she says, were given her by Hammond, whom the authori ties now are seeking. Money obtained from these business houses, she says, was given by her to Hammond. Failing to produce bail of J4000 re quired by District Attorney Evans. Mrs. Heim was put In charge of Matron Rogers at the County Jail yesterday. Efforts to get bail will be continued today. She will be arraigned either to day or tomorrow with E. H. Carpenter, a Portland shoe salesman, jointly in dicted by the grand jury. Sympathy Shown Women. Mrs. Helm talked freely of her troubles yesterday and of her infatua tion for Hammond, which, she says, is the cause of it all. She referred to her case yesterday as a "wretched affair." Her mother, Mrs. Mary Pierce, a woman of dignified appearance, was with her daughter when detectives took her to District Attorney Evans' office yester day morning, and the two passed most of the day together. Considerable sym pathy for the two has been aroused. A woman called at the County Jail yes terday an"d asked that Mrs. Pierce stay at her home while in the city. Carpenter maintained a sullen attl tude yesterday and refused to talk. PANTAGES SONGS NEW PtT5SY CAT RAG" AND CALLS SET HOUSE IN LAUGHTER. Original nf . Melodic) and Old Fa vorites, Playlets and Juggling;, All Are Amusing. Pantages patrons were introduced yesterday to a new "double" act which is a winner. The couple are Harry An trim and Betsy Vale, both possessed of pleasing personalities. Every one of their songs is new. The "Pussy Cat Rag." with genuine cat calls by Antrim, is a scream. Equally good is his farmyard song. After some new jokes. Miss Vale has a charming dance, with a whistling accompaniment by her partner, and then she recites. While she is busy telling how father loved mother just the same, whatever hap :-.. Antrim is busy with a violin obligate Three encores had to be given and even then the house was left ask ing for more. Another good singing act was that of James Brockman, a character singer, whose songs are all his own. In his opening ones he makes a plea for th return of the old-time songs by chang ing cleverly from ragtime to operatic airs, and "finally sings a new rag of his own with a catchy refrain. How a timid and bashful retiring young man can be brought to his knees and made to propose is shown, for the benefit of those who need instruction In tills delicate art, by Willard Hutch inson and a girl. Hutchinson is the bashful lover down to a nicety, never overdoing it enough to make the act foolish instead of hilarious, while his partner knows how to spread the fem inine net in a way that leaves no loop holes for Clarence. The Mexican mi sical instrument, the Marimbaphone. was played by the Four Soils, who gave selections from the operas and from the latest American airs. The instrument has a peculiar fascinating tone and all the players are experts. A musical comedy tabloid, entitled "The Stanley Seminary Girls," is like many others that have preceded it. There are numerous songs by the in dividual performers, with dances and choruses by the girls. Miss Ruth Hoyt, as the pride of the seminary, is well deserving of the title. Some sensational juggling with arti cles of furniture, cigars and even a dog are introduced In the opening act by the two Malcommies and the big bill closes with war scenes by the Mu tual "Weekly.

GERMAN TRAIL CHARRED LATE PROUD CITY OF VISE IS MASS OF RUINS. Ballet-Ridden Inhabitants Lying- About PInce, Is Report Brought by Vis itors to War-Torn Towns. LONDON, Aug. 31. A dispatch to the Reuter Company from Ostend says that a small party that has Just returned there from a visit to Liege describes the destruction wrought by the war as appalling. "All along the road to Vise," said one of the party, "there was nothing to bo seen but walls blackened by smoke, the remains of burned factories, mounds of earth freshly dug, the sepul chres of the first Germans to fall. "And then comes Vise. What a pain ful sight for those who knew the proud city, now nothing but a mass ot ruins, while many of the Inhabitants lie all over the place, their chests riddled with bullets. I was told here that the na tives were put to work building roads for the invaders from Vise to Aix-la-Chapelle. "On the road to Argenteau we met a procession of able-bodied men, march ing four abreast and commanded by a non-commissioned officer, all carrying implements for road or trench building. These men have to submit to severe discipline. "Herstal, usually filled with the busy hum of activity in factories, coal mines and workshops, we found plunged Into deathly silence. "At last we entered Liege. The peo ple stood at the threshholds of their homes, silent and anxious, but afraid to speak. The streets in the middle of the town wore a deplorable aspect. Many houses had been abandoned. "Their doors and windows were bro ken and the contents had been re moved. Nobody but soldiers were to be seen. The Place de rUnlverslte. th Rues Des Pitters and the Qual Dea Percheurs had bren burned." Tronsen Hurt by Fall on Boat's Bow. TOLEDO, Oregon. Aug. 11. (8peclal.) Jim Tronsen, who was getting out of a boat on the Lower Silets River, fell on the bow and was severely In jured.
