'Millionaire's Son' Arrested on
Bad Check Charge.
LIPS SEALED AS TO PAST
Suspect, Traveling: .in Gentlemanly
' Style, Admits Charge, but Offers
to Mage Good Amount
if He Be Released.
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.

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

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.

"Old Prices39 Still in Order Here
But We Cannot Say j or How Much Longer
The early indications were that furs would be cheaper this season than ever before be
cause war closed the foreign markets.
Now, however, there is a reaction. London, the largest fur market in the world, is closed no furs are

Result: a great scarcity of furs. It is almost impossible to replace the furs we've sold. But in spite
of the radical increase on all fur, we are selling all our reliable choice furs at prices quoted at the begin
ning of the season. .
Now is the time to buy furs here! We stand back of every piece of fur sold. Come in and see our

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.
