THE MORNING OttEGOXIAN, FTtlPAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1914. "BUNCOMAH" LONG wars beget wars. I believe that their defeat in 1870 and the loss of Alsace Lorraine was the chief incentive of the French in their declaration of war.- "The ostensible object of England's declaration was to protect the neutral ity of Belgium. Probably she was also animated by commercialism. Germany was never satisfied with the settle ment made in the Balkan states after the Russo-Turkish war. "The lesson of this war is that we should be chary of making war on the plea of patriotism. We should first investigate to see if true patriotism, or the 'desire to expand our territory, is behind the call. The highest citizen ship demands that we must recognize the work of our President in securing our neutrality. Not only should we pay him this tribute, but we should givg him our loyal support, regardless of party feeling, in the present crisis." Mrs. J. C. E.

Andrew Giannini Confesses Robbery of Italians by "Iron Washer" Trick. 3 SUSPECTS ALSO TAKEN SOUGHT CAUGHT Tour Believed to Be Responsible for Swindle on Coast and Elsewhere. Captive Details His Plan of Bilking Countrymen. After a Nation-wide search, Andrew Giannini, confessed leader of a gang of Italian "bunco" operators, and three of his alleged accomplices, were arrested In Portland yesterday by Special Officer Joseph Morack. Giannini confessed yesterday that ho is the originator of the "box of iron washers" trick, which has baffled the police of many American cities. He was arrested three, years agro at San Francisco, gave cash ball of $1000 and then disappeared before his case was called to trial. Among the Coast swindles charged up to Giannini are: Three thousand dol lars taken August 28 from Giovanni Arogonl, Spokane farmer; $1000 taken from Giovanni liassl in San Francisco, August 7, 1911; J2664 taken from G. Navonia, a Seattle Italian, several months ago, and several others. It is believed by the police that Giannini and his gang operated in Salt Lake City re cently, and the authorities in that city are being communicated with. Details of Swindle Told. Giannini told Officer Morack, who was . called in on the case August 28, when Giovanni Arogonl, of Spokane, lost $3000 to the gang, that since leaving San Francisco three years ago he traveled throughout the East, mentioning par ticularly Omaha, New York City, Salt Lake City, Denver and Chicago. It is believed the operators swindled fellow countrymen in those cities. Giannini said he would approach a fellow countryman, who was known to have money, and tell him of a. fine farm or other property which was for sale at a bargain. He, however, represented that he was without money. Then, he said, he would introduce the victim to another member of the clique who ap peared as a wealthy Italian. Boiei Changed la Llgrht. The three men then would agree to purchase the property, the wealthy-appearing Italian paying his and Glan nini's share. All three would put the money in a tin box. The victim would be allowed to carry the box, but Gian nini kept the key, the latter said. While the victim was asleep the tin box con , tainlng the money would be substituted for another of similar appearance which contained iron washers. The box would be locked in a safety deposit vault, and it generally was sev eral days before the victim suspected the swindle and investigated. This gave the swindlers sufficient time in which to make good their escape. In the Spo kane swindle a pair of old shoes and a Cat iron were substituted for the money. Morack discovered Giannini and his three alleged accomplices, Pete Morse, alias Proin ftaia, 9 years old; Charles Cannone, 46 years old. and James Strop ping. 27 years old, yesterday morning at a park discussing another swindle, he said. He called Detectives Craddock. Gristm and Vaughn and the arrest was made. Grips Contain Clews. Each of the four men possessed suit cases, and it is said incriminating evi dence was found in all of these. Morack declares Cannone's hand grip contained "stage" money aggregating several thousand dollars, and several counter felt coins resembling $10 gold pieces which were manufactured by a tobacco concern to be used as watch fobs. On arrest Giannini gave his name as Nlcoola Peri. He laughed at the man ner of hia arrest and escape at San Francisco January 30, 1912, just before his case was called. "I got J1000 from Giovanni Massl at San Francisco on August 7, 1911," he said, "and when one of my pals double crossed me I was arrested with another partner, Mauruzi De Martini, on No vember 28, 1911. re Martini plead guilty and now is serving a term of five years at Folsom penitentiary. I took the $1000 I got from Massi and gave it as bail. Then I skipped, none the loser by having visited San Francisco. I have not been in San Francisco since." Proin Nols and James Stropplong have been identified by Manager Duke, of the Rainier Hotel of this city, as the two men who .registered at the hotel August 28 with Giovanni Arogonl. the Spokane victim, and It is probable they will be taken to Spokane to be identified by Arogonl. MRS. E. A. IHRKE PASSES -. Husband and' Family Were Promi nent Pioneers in Northwest. Mrs. Eliza A. Ihrke, better known among the old-time residents of Ore gon as Mrs. Clark P. Crandall, died at the residence of her son, B. D. Cran dall, 108 Bonita avenue, Piedmont, Cal., on Sunday, September 13. Captain Crandall, her first husband, was for many years a prominent Journalist of Oregon, and was connected with the Morning Oregonian and the Salem Statesman. Mrs. Crandall moved to California in the late '70s, where she has since resided. She leaves two sons. Edward D. Crandall and Harry E. Cran dall. who are now residents of that state. Mrs. Crandall's death removes the last direct descendant of Mr. and Mrs. Rice Dunbar, who settled in Marion County, in the Waldo Hills, in the early 60s, where they reared a large family that has since played a prominent part ' in the upbuilding of the Northwest Coast. R. O. Dunbar, for many years an honored member of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington, and W. R. Dunbar, who during his life was a well-known citizen of Oregon and Washington, were brothers of Mrs. Crandall. Captain and Mrs. Crandall were for a long time residents of Port land and Salem.
