BRUSH TO BE CUT
200 Men to Clear Streets Near
Ockley Green.
CITY TO TAKE ACTION
Attorney to Ask Council to Make
Ordinance Effective and Afford
Ilelief From Ruffians Who
, Terrorize School Pupils.
The Men's Protective League, organ
ized Friday night with 200 members at
Ockley Green Schoolhouse, to put a
Btop to the criminal activities of ruf
fians who have terrorized that com
munity for two years, has already se
cured results.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee of 25 from the league yesterday
it was reported that W. K. Smith, who
represents a. 50-acre tract adjoining the
schoolhouse, owned by the Ukase In
vestment Company, will at once clear
the streets extending to Portland
boulevard of brush. The Protective
League will put 200 men at work clear
ing the brush between the streets In
this tract. v
City Attorney La Roche was consult
ed relative to having tracts covered
with brush declared a nuisance, but he
found the ordinance so. faulty as to be
Ineffective.
Amendments to Go to Council.
However, Mr. La Roche agreed to
draft n amendment that will make the
ordinance effective and have it brought
before the City Council next Wednes
day, at which time the league will send
a large delegation asking that the
amendment be passed as soon as possi
ble. Removal of the brush will elimin
ate the hiding places of those who have
been attacking children.
Another mass meeting will be held
Wednesday night at the Ockley Green
Schoolhouse.
It was reported at the meeting of
the committee that a man suddenly
appeared yesterday from the brush
near Kenton where some children were
playing, but they ran away. Principal
E. H. Whitney, of Ockley Green School,
issued the call that resulted in organi
zation of the Men's Protective League.
Mr. Whitney said in the call:
"For years the lives of the children
of this neighborhood have been threat
ened by villains who infest the woods
in the region of the schoolhouse.
Situation Is Critical.
"Appeals have been made to the city
authorities for relief from this unen
durable situation, but no permanent
relief has been given, and our little
boys and girls are terrorized in our
very presence, and up to date we have
made no concerted move to stamp out
the evil.
"If the sheep, hogs or cattle of any
community were menaced by wolves,
or other vicious animals, as are our
children in this neighborhood, the Leg
islature would be called upon to pass
a law offering a bounty on scalps. How
do you value the life of your boy or
girl? What measures shall we take
to protect their lives?
"Last Monday it was your neigh
bor's little boy who was lured into
the woods by a brute. Next week it
may be your boy or girl.
"Shall we men suffer the lives of
our wives and children to be daily
menaced without one word of effectual
protest? Is life' so dear or ease so
sweet that we would not risk all to rid
our community of these degenerates
and the lives of our loved ones from
hourly terror?"

An effort was made by Charles H.

the officers. In it were three more
keys of the same sort, together with
a morphine phial and hypodermic
needle.
During the past week Sheppard has
been stopping at the Hotel Esmond,
where several rooms have been un
locked and entered by an unknown
person. The officers tried the doors of
these rooms with the prisoner's keys,
and in each instance entered them.
In 1913 Sheppard was arrested in this
city for having morphine- in his pos
session. He was convicted and served
180 days. At that time he gave his

HE OF LOVE PLAYED

"HEARTS ARE TRUMPS."
Irish Lovemaklng Scenes Are Laid nt
Summer Resort With Oriental
Effects In Spots.
The game of love played with many
variations, formed the theme of the
Dillon & King musical comedy, "Hearts
Are Trumps," which opened at ttie
Lyric yesterday. An Irish variety of
lovemaking was illustrated by Mike
Dooley, impersonated by Ben T. Dillon,
and the Jewish variety by Ike Llschin
ski, played by Will King. Several
other varieties were illustrated by
Ruby Lang, Dolly Bunch, Teddy LaDue,
and other members of the cast.
A clever little plot and the intro
duction of a number of lively songs
and dances kept the interest of the
audience alive to the end. A soul kiss,
or something akin, was illustrated by
Ruby Lang and Frank Harrington.
The scene is laid at a fashionable
Summer resort, giving an opportunity
for a great deal of clever costuming.
The chorus and other members of the
cast appear in every variety of cos
tume from that affected by the wo
men ot the Sultan's harem to bathing
suits.
The production opens with an Orien
tal dance.
Mike Dooley, as a waiter, produces
from various pockets and other places
about his wardrobe all the materials
for a meal. Including a loaf of bread
three feet long.
Among the popular musical numbers
is a duet by Frank Harrington and
Ruby Lang, "Love Is a Game."
"The Little Bug Will Get You Sure,"
sung by members of the quartette and
chorus. Is clever. Jack Wise sang,
"When .1 Leave the World Behind."

SHORTAGE AGAIN POSSIBLE
Transportation of Troops May Take
TTp Largo Number of Cars.
The recent car shortage again begin
to be a live subject in connection with
the possible transportation of troops
and cavalry horses to the Mexican bor
der. Officials of the Southern Pacific say
that whether there would be a shortage
depends upon what sqrt of cars were
demanded. Should Pullman cars be
commandeered there would exist a tem
porary shortage because that company
has no excess in the local railroad
yards.
There would be, It is said, plenty of
empties on hand to transport cavalry
horses.

lioslnesa Men's Club Takes 1'p Matter.
LnurclhurKt Plot treed as Suit
able, Convenient Plnce.
"Community Centers and What Is Be
ing Done to Develop Them in Port
land," was the subject of the address
by L. M. Lepper, secretary of the East
Side Business Men's Club, yesterday
before the Current ISvents Club of
Westminster Presbyterian ChuTch.
Mr. Lepper reviewed what other cities
are doing to make the schoolhouses
neighborhood centers and places of
educational interest, and then said Ore
gon, by legislative enactment, had
thrown open the public schools to the
use of the public, with the result that
in Portland the schoolhouses are be
inar generally used.
"Peninsula Park has the only real
community center in the city," said Mr.
Lepper, "for it has the buildings there
for public gatherings, for socials, lec
tures and entertainments, and a large
and well-developed playground. It has
swimming pools for the boys and girls,
which arc largely used. All these
thinprs are well worth while, and make
for better citizenship. Sellwood has a
swimming pool, and thousands go there
from Central East Portland and Mount
Tabnr.
"The Central East Side and Irving
ton," Mr. Lepper pointed out, "have no
community center, and to remedy this
omission the East Side Business Men's
Club is urjring the erection of a com
munity center on the four acres the
city has leased near the Laurelhurst
Park. There are more than 16,000 chil
dren who would be tributary to such
a center.

tions. Send set to Federation headquar
ters. New Tork, for Inspection of police

The approval of Police Commissioner

If everything was sold In as liberal
and fair a manner as Huntley Drug
Co. ere selling Schiffmann's New Con
centrated Expectorant, absolutely no
cause for complaint or dissatisfaction
could possibly arise from anyone. These
druggists say "Buy a bottle of this
remedy and try it for Bronchitis.
Whooping Cough, Severe Cough, Croup
or any Bronchial Affection, and we will
return your money, just as we do with
Schiffmann's famous Asthmador, if it
does not give satisfaction, or if not
found the best remedy ever used for
any of these complaints." Why not
take advantage of this guarantee and
try this medicine, and get your mon'?
back, rather than buying another pure
ly on the exaggerated claims of its
manufacturer or on the strength of tes
timonials from others and run the
chance of getting something worthless
and also wasting your money?
