CASE "EIGHTH OF SERIES
SCHEDULE IS GIVEN OUT
fire Marshal Sajs Blazes Marc Had
Marked Decrease Sine Trials
Were Started and 8 O-Hour
Stretch of Quiet Occurs.
Lifting up a copper teakettle which
aat in the bottom of a barrel. Deputy
District Attorney Collier pulled out a
half-burned copy of The Oregonian of
April IS. 1915. and exhibited it to a
Jury in Circuit Judge Catena court yes
terday morning-. This piece of evidence,
produced during Mr. Collier's argument.
convicted Philip Harris of burning a
grocery store to defraud an insuranc
company.
The trial had been going- on for
three days. The jury returned a ver
dict in two hours. Extreme leniency
was- recommended "because we do not
believe him a criminal at heart, and
occause of his youth.
Harris, with his family, came to Port
land from Kansas City last Fall. He
bought a bankrupt grocery stock and
opened a store on Killingsworth, ave
nue. On the night of May 3 his store
was burned. Firemen reported suspi
clous circumstances and a grand jury
investigation was begun.
Oil Came in Shipment. He Says.
A barrel, half of which was burned
away, was found sitting in the back of
the store. In the bottom of the barrel
was a teakettle filled with a mixture of
oil and water. This mixture formed an
inflammable distillate. The grand jury's
theory was that the contents of the
teakettle bad been ignited by Harris.
Harris swore that the oil had been
used as a disinfectant in Kansas City
after the floods last year. He said the
barrel had been shipped with his goods;
that the teakettle had been shipped In
side the barrel, and that the contents
had not been touched since. He was
positiveabout this on cross-examination.
Nothing inside the barrel had been dis
turbed since he came to Portland from
Kansas City last Fall, he said.
The trial was hotly contested and
the result seemed in doubt. The evi
dence was all in Wednesday. Yester
day morning Mr. Collier began his
argument to the jury.
Paper Produced From Barrel.
He lifted the teakettle out of the bar
rel. It had not been moved since it
was seized as evidence by the state.
Krom the bottom of the barrel he drew
a piece of newspaper, burned to the ex
act shape of the kettle bottom.
"This is The Oregonian of April 18.
1915." said Mr. Collier. "If, as Harris
says, the contents of this barrel have
not been disturbed since he left Kan
sas City last year, how came this re
cent paper in the bottom of the barrel
under this teakettle?"
The conviction of Harris marks the
eighth "fire-bug" case tried by the Dis-J
trict Attorney's office since October 1,
1914. As a result of these trials ten
individuals are now in the County Jail,
the penitentiary or Federal prison.
"Incendiary fires have been reduced
more than 50 per cent since these
prosecutions began," said Fire Marshal
iStevens after Harris' conviction yester
day. ".Right now the fire bell hasn't
tapped for 80 hours."
That was yesterday morning.
Today the trial of Earl Mashburn, ac
cused of burning the premises at 348
Clay street to get insurance money, will
begin before Judge Gatens.
10-YEAR-OLD BOY MISSING

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pierce, 344 Monroe
street, has been missing from his home

feared that he may have met with, an
accident. Mrs. Pierce, who notified the
police yesterday of the disappearance,
said that the boy came home from
school about 11 o'clock Wednesday
morning and then went out to play
with a number of companions. His
companions can givo no clew as to
where the boy went after leaving them

row night and Sunday afternoon and
night, dates back to the arrival at
Luther College of Carlo A. Speratl. the
director of the band which now has had
a world-wide triumph.
He is the descendant of a long line
of musicians. He was graduated from
Luther College in 1888. Eventually he
was in the ministry for 14 years, the
last 10 of which were at Tacoma,
Wash. Then Luther heard of him
again and called him back to take
charge of the band.
Since he began to handle the band it
has made two extended tours to the
Pacific Coast, playing in seven states.
When Norway celebrated the century
of her Independence last year, Luther
College Band was invited to tour that
country, with immense success; the
triumphant tour of Norway being fol
lowed by concerts in every capital of
Europe. Even then the war clouds were
rumbling.
Now Speratl has a first and second
band. The first band, which has just
concluded an engagement at the Ex
position, will play at the Oaks. It has
63 members, while the Choral Union,
which accompanies the band, has 44
voices.
Tremendous interest centers round
the band among those of Norwegian
birth and descent, for Luther is the old
est Norwegian college outside of those
in the native land.
SIAY IN JAIL IS LONG
AUTHORITIES TRY VAINLY TO RE
LEASE ERNEST MILLS.
Man Who Fired Hotel Can Get Liberty
Only by Leaving (or -England and
no Captain Will Take Him.
Krnest W. Mills is still in the County
Jail, in spite of the efforts of all au
thorities, executive and Judicial, to re
lease him. He has been Ir. Jail since
last July and has mounted to the po
sition of cook's trusty. Jailers call
him "(the man without a country."
Six months ago Mills was sentenced
to one to ten years in the penitentiary
and paroled. But a parole for him did
not spell freedom. He is a British sub
ject a,nd Judge Davis decided he should
be on British soil. The judge ordered
that Mills be held in jail until the first
vessel bound for England left Portland.
He was to be put aboard the craft and
sent back to his own country.
Since then many vessels have left
for England, but none has taken Mills.
They don't want him. The British Con
sul has tried to find a berth for him,
but when the mariners learn Mills'
story, they refuse flatly.
"What's he in for?" they ask.
They learn that Mills tried to burn
down the D'Moy Hotel, Third and Yam
hill streets, July 12, 1914.
"Nothing doing," is the rejoinder,
every time. "We have enough trouble
now looking out for German submarines
without having a firebug on board."
Mills admitted his offense and plead
ed guilty. His only excuse was that
he had been, drinking. Whenever he
drinks. Mills says, he has a strong de
sire to see a big fire.
Mills has become popular with the
jailers and also with other prisoners
in the County Jail; but he cannot gain
his liberty unless a kind-hearted Eng
lish sea captain can be found who is
willing to give him a berth.
