Senator Gus Moser s talk was in a
humorous vein, but in closing be said
"The support of the people is needed

ROBBER BLAMES 'BOOZE'
OSCAR JOHXSOX LAYS CAPTURE TO
INTOXICATION AT TIME OK CRIME.
Prisoner, 82, Says He Has Been la
"Business" 1 Years and Is Going
to Try to Leave Liquor Alone.
"When a guy goes into a Joint to
stick It up, if he ain't rum-dum with
boose, he's got all the chances in his
favor. I was full of booze. That's
why they got me."
This was the declaration of Oscar
Johnson, from the viewpoint of his 16
years' experience in "the business," as
he lay on his cot In the County Jail
yesterday. His right ankle is shat
tered from a bullet wound, and his
head is gashed from contact with the
butt of a revolver as a resnlt of his
running street fight with Frank Ru
pert, a grocer, whom Johnson and a
companion held up Monday night
"It's a losing game if you don't let
the booze alone," continued Johnson.
"I might not have tried this Job if I'd
been sober, but if I hud tried it, the
whole city of Portland couldn't bave
got me. It stands to reason when a
fellow stioks up a Joint nobody's
goln' to take any chances. I wabbled
around so much I wonder that guy
didn't plus; rae the other night."
Johnson then became reminiscent and
talked of his long experience.

bad one since I was 18. I've been in
and out of 'stir ever since then. I've
done two stretches in the 'big house,'
and I'd never been caught in my life
if I hadn't been rum-dum with booze.

Then a trusty brought Johnson his
evening meal and he attacked it witn
a gusto that would have done credit to
his mote romantic fellow craftsmen of
the days of Robin Hood.

Ralph W. Feeney, superintendent of

mitted suicide at his home, 1481 East
Burnside street, yesterday morning
about 7:30 by taking strychnine. It is
said that the business reverses of his
companies had made Mr. Feeney de
spondent and he had threatened a num
ber of times to take his life.
Shortly after he had left his house
to go to the garage yesterday morning
Mrs. Feeney found her husband seated
in his automobile in a stupor from the
drug which he had taken. She shook
him and questioned him, arousing him
sufficiently so that he muttered: "I am
going now." after which he became un
conscious. Mrs. Feeney managed to reach the
house with the unconscious form of her
husband and immediately called Drs.
Johnson and Gilbert. The work of the
physicians was in vain, however, for the
man died about 8 o'clock.
Mr. Feeney had been engaged in the
insurance business In Portland for a
number of years. The Horticultural
Fire Relief Company and the Oregon
Merchants' Mutual Company, the two
concerns of which he had been superin
tendent, were placed in the hands of a
receiver Monday. He was about 69 (
