CAR CHASED, RECOVERED FORD COMPANY EMPLOYE lOSES SUSPECT OJf WAY TO STATION. Ensrene Wildeman, IT, Arrested Later and Identified mm Youth Who Started on Joyrlde. Patrolmen Shaffer and Hennessy ar rested Eugene Wildeman yesterday, who gave his age as 17, for the at tempted theft of an automobile from Frank C. Jones Saturday night. The owner of the car is an employe of the Ford Motor Company. He left the car standing on the street. When he returned, it was gone. Later he saw the automobile, with two- occupants, going south on Fourth street, near Morrison. He gave chase and caught the machine. "This is my car," he accosted the driver. "Tour's nothing! It's mine," was the retort, accompanied by an offer to go to the Police Station and. settle the matter. On the way to the station the sus pect sprang from the car and escaped. Yesterday morning the police ob tained information which led to the arrest. Wildeman was identified by Mr. Jones. Wildeman was arrested January 24 for the larceny of another car, but the case was dismissed by the grand Jury for insufficiency of evidence. Last week he appeared in Municipal Court for smoking in a streetcar and was fined 3. On the two previous appear ances he gave his age as 20. His companion in the Saturday night affair, Edward Reed, of 468 Burnside street, has been completely exonerated of any complicity. He was invited by Wildeman to take a ride and inno cently complied. Motorcycle Officer Bayles assisted in securing evidence. Fighting and Fainting Ten dencies of Women in Court. Neal Cronse Says He Has Received Many an An kit Blow and Carried Out Tons of "Painters." WOMEX, especially first offenders whose finer natures have not been blunted by contact with ' the underworld, are prone to faint in court Just after the Judge has imposed sen tence on them, says Neal Crounse, who has been cleric in the Municipal Court for almost five years. Old offenders are apt to fight, the clerk says. "Women are apt to do anything when their emotions are excited." Mr. Crounse said by way of summing up his experiences. "I've carried out tons of them from the courtroom. Literally tons of unconscious women; pretty ones, homely ones, fat ones and thin ones. And I remember stopping two fights between women in the court." Mr. Crounse leaned back in his chair, cocked a wary eye in the direction of the Judge disappearing from the court room, and drew hia pipe from his pocket. Court was over for the day, and Mr. Crounse was preparing to take his ease. "Men seldom faint in court." he inter rupted himself to say in honor of his own sex. "I've seen a few of them throw 'jimjam" fits, chiefly as the re sult of too much 'booze.' But I never saw one faint." The clerk blew a reminiscent puff of smoke at the ceiling. He hoisted one foot to his desk and threw the other across the waste paper basket. His attitude indicated that he was through with that foot forever and had cast it aside .with the waste paper. "We used to have more trouble in the old court at Sixth and Everett streets. We had no Emergency hospital then. "Now, take the case of Mrs. Ida Morris, who fainted in court last week. I thought she was Just a little woman, but I'll bet she weighs 180 pounds at least. During her trial the prosecutor spoke of her children, and she broke down and sobbed. After she was con victed she started to walk from the room. I heard a fall, turned around and saw a little commotion, and knew right off the bat that she had fainted. It took two of us to carry her out. "Down in the old court I was carry ing out an unconscious woman one time and some amateur first-aid artist threw a pail of water in my face. The water was aimed at the woman, but it helped me to bear up better. Another time I cut my hand while I was trying to turn an electric fan in the direction of an unconscious woman's face. "A colored woman attacked the de fendant with an umbrella or.e day. The case hadn t gone Just to her liking. Bailiff Johnson and. I grabbed the woman. The Judge fined her $10 for contempt of court. "One day a white woman tried, the same thing. The prisoner was Just walking back to the detention room arter the trial. I saw the woman gripping her umbrella and knew there would be trouble. I grabbed the pris oner to shove him out of the way. Thwack! she struck me across the head, I had saved the prisoner, but received the blow myself." FEAST OF PURIM OBSERVED Pay Ievoted to Home Enjoyment and Gifts for Poor. "And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the King's com mandment and his decree came, the Jews had Joy and gladness, a feast and a good day," it is related in the Book of Esther regarding the feast of Purim when King Ahasuerus had heeded the plea of Queen Esther and given her people liberty and honor. In remembrance of this great feast Portland's Jewish people enjoyed hom feasts and made gifts yesterday to each other and the poor. No special services were held in the Reformed Synagogue, but in the Orthodox tem ples the Book of Esther is read on the Feast of Purim. Coos Bay Couple Married. MARSHFIELD. Or., March 19. (Spe cial.)

German Honae la Give Over to Rally bat Turn 'f rein Members Are Strikingly Abaent. Betterment of living conditions and provision of employment for all, was the plan advanced yesterday at the peace rally held at the German House, for preparing the -world for an era of peace. While the German House gave the hall to the meeting, the programme was sunder the auspices of the Christ League of Peace, and there was a striking absence of the members of the Turn Verein from the audience. Usually the hall was packed to the doors at the patriotic Sunday after-, noon meetings that have been held. E. P. Rosenthal, father of the plan advanced by the league of Peace, was the principal speaker. He declared that If peace is to be brought about It must be through a pro gramme of preparedness for peace, and not by a. programme of military pre paredness, nor yet by a programme of disarmament. "The basis of all war is fear, which is bred of Injustices, and only when the fear of the nations can be re moved, can peace be expeoted to come," he said. John H. Stevenson outlined a plan for the devoting of Government lands to settlement of colonies of men who are unemployed. Ernest Kroner sug gested that, if military preparedness is needed, it could be secured through enlisting men and employing them at public works, with military training as a side line.
