Ttepresentinsr himself to be a mil lionaire's son and traveling about the country with vast quantities of bag--cage, a man giving his name as Cecil Richford was arrested at the corner of Broadway and Washington streets by City Detectives Price and Mallett yesterday, and is beinsr held for Cen ralia, Wash., authorities on a charge of passing a bad check. Detectives say they have clews which will probably implicate Richford in forgeries and bad check work in San Francisco and various other Coast cities. He arrived in Portland yester day from the north, and is believed to have been preparing- to begin opera tions in this city on an extensive scale. The specific charge against Richford Is that he passed a worthless draft drawn for $50 on C. R. Wilson, pro prietor of the Wilson Hotel, in Cen tralia. Richford at first denied the charge, but later admitted his guilt, according to detectives, and offered to make the. amount of the draft good If released. "lUebf.rd Is Believed an Allan. r The methods employed by Richford are fatd to be the passage of drafts drawn on various banks and signed with fictitious names. He dresses well, has a prepossessing appearance, and is aid to have had no difficulty in pass ing his paper on unsuspecting hotel proprietors. One of the aliases which he is said to have used in operations is that of "Riebford." , Richford, after his arrest, would tell the ofiicers little about himself or his movements. lie said that his father was wealthy and lived in the Kast, al though he would not divulge the name or address of his parents. He gave his age as 24 years and his occupation as that of a salesman. BncKasc Whereabout Concealed. Detectives Price and Mallett at tempted yesterday to locate the man's baggage in the belief that it might give some clew to his operations. When he left Centralia he is said to have had a large -number of suitcases with him. He refused yesterday to tell where he was staying in Cortland or where his baggage was located. The Centralia officials were notified last- night that Richford was under ar rest, and they will send a man to take him back to that city for trial. De tectives are of the opinion that he is one of the cleverest bad check men operating on the Coast for some time. ESSAY PRIZES OFFERED fHAMBKFl TRADE BVREAU OFFERS i 150 l.V AWARDS TO riTILS.

BOARD SILENT ON ISSUE MILITARY TRAIMNG IX SCHOOLS MAY COME I'P TODAY. Council of Jewish Women to Ask for Taxpayers' Meeting to Consider Addition of Kindergarten, Just what the fate of the favorable recommendation of the teachers' com mittee of the School Board as to tile establishment of military training in the Portland high schools will be. will not be revealed by the members of the Board. A majority has declared in favor of voluntary training, but the time or conditions are as yet undeter mined. . The recommendations made by Adjutant-General White as to the time and extent of training do not seem to meet with the 'general approval of the Board members, and the matter has beer deferred until some more infor mation from General White is given. The question may be considered at the meeting of the School Board today. The appearance of S. P. Lockwood, the second member of the teachers' committee, in the city after a favor able recommendation was signed by its chairman. Dr. Alan Welch Smith, has put a new -aspect on the situation. While he favors the measure, he thinks that the instruction should begin after school hours and that the Government should defray the expenses. At he meeting of the Board today a resolution will be submitted, signed by Mrs. Harry Jehlinger. of the Council of Jewish Women, petitioning the Board to call a taxpayers .meeting to con sider incorporation irt the school sys tem of - this district kindergarten work. 1- M. Iepper.'vof the 'Kast Side Busi ness Men's Club, asks for a generous allowance in the 1916 budget for the establishment of civic centers at the schools, as provided by law. EGG TEST SUIT BEGUN COSTITlTIOAI,lrV OF 1815 STAT UTE TO BE DETERMINED. C. S. Jacobson Is Defendant In Action Charging Unlawful Sale of Product Imported From China. -As a preliminary step to testing the constitutionality of a 1 915 statute aimed at preventing the sale or use of im ported eggs.- a complaint was issued yesterday by District Attorney Evans, through Deputy George Howry, charg ing C. S. Jacobson, of the Sealy-Dres-ser Company, with a violation of the law. He will be tried in District Court. The intention is to provide a test case which wil be taken as speedily as pos sible to the Supreme Court of the state for final adjudication. The contention of Jacobson's attor neys is that the law is unconstitutional in that it interferes with interstate commerce. The test was arranged be tween .Mr. Jacobson, representing the company, and M. S. Schrock, a deputy pure food commissioner, who purchased a cake containing eggs imported from China. The law provides, that where such eggs are used a sign must be displayed reading, "Imported eggs used here," and that there must also be a sign reading, "Imported eggs used in the manufacture of this article." Neither of these mandates was complied with, hence there are two charges against Mr. Jacobson in connection with the sale f the same 'cake.

GUIDE-FALLS IN CREVASSE Elijah Coalman Has Narrow Escape Coming Down Mount Hood. To fall into the big crevasse near the summit of Mount Hood and live to tell of it is the experience of Elijah Coalman, who, besides being a guide of 18 years experience, has charge of the lookout station maintained by the forestry service at the summit of the mountain. Mr. Coalman escaped with a swollen ankle and a thrilling story- He slipped as he was coming down the mountain and fell down the crevasse, a distance of 30 feet- A shelf of snow on the aide of the crevasse was all that saved him from going the rest of the way. Mr. Coalman has climbed Mount Hood 357 times, which represents in dis tance a total of more than 5700 miles. Former Wisconsin Governor Visits. James O.
