MACK CAUGHT Iff EAST
ALLEGED POSTOFFICE ROBBER IS
" TAKEN IN PHILADELPHIA.
Following Sensational Chase, Suspect
Has Even More Sensational Es
cape Guards Tricked.
Federal authorities in Portland have
received word that Carl P. Mack, want
?d for the robbery of Postoffice Station
A the night of February 12, 1915, has
been arrested in Philadelphia on a
charge of highway robbery.
Following his capture near Detroit,
after a sensational chase following his
attempt to cash money orders stolen
from Station A, Mack made an even
more sensational escape. He was on
his way to Portland to stand trial here
last November, when he tricked his
guards and leaped through the win
dow of a Pullman. This was near Sand
point, Idaho.
Government postoffice inspectors im
mediately took the trail, but were un
able to find Mack.
However, the trial of his confeder
ate, Bruce Granville, proceeded without
him. Granville waa convicted and sen
tenced to the minimum of 25 years in
the Federal penitentiary. Granville is
now at the Leavenworth Federal prison

MAY PROVOKE FIGHT
County Central Committee
Likely to Object to Ami

ISSUE WILL BE-UP TONIGHT
John Ii. lay Scheduled for Chair
man and Delegates Are Said
to Be Pledged to Perform.
Drw Smith May Oppose.
A warm session may be expected at
the first meeting of the new Multno
mah County Republican Central Com
mittee, which has been called for 8
o'clock tonight in the assembly hall of
the Central Library.
The question at issue will be
whether Elmer L. Amidon, John L.
Day and their faction are to. retain
control of the Republican county or
ganization. At the primary election, the Radia
tors, Mr. Amldon's political organiza
tion, had candidates up for precinct
committeemen from various pre
cincts. The Radiators make the as
sertion that they have a clear majority
of the new committee, and that their
members will stand "hitched" to put
through the programme.
Mr. Day Slated for Chairman.
Unless they make a switch at the last
moment for policy's sake this pro
gramme will include the election or
John L. Day as chairman and of per
sons acceptable to Amidon for secre
tary and treasurer.
Originally the plan was for Amidon
himself to be elected secretary, but he
was defeated in his own precinct by
Dr. Alan Welch Smith for committee
man. Not being a member of the new
committee, he is not eligible for office
in it.
However, there are abundant indica
tions that the "programme" will not go
through, if it goes through at all,
without stiff opposition.
Among those mentioned as opposi
tion candidates for the chairmanship
of the committee is Dr. Alan Welch
Smith, member of the Board of Ed
ucation. P. E. Struck is another po
tential candidate, who is said to have
many followers among the independ
ents. Fight Is Moat Likely.
Victor Brandt is prominently men
tioned as a probable independent can
didate for treasurer. The independ
ents deny that the Amidon faction can
hold -its delegates in line for the "pro
gramme" when the test comes, and pro
fess to have many of them pledged al
ready for one of the rival candidates.
However that may be, there is every
indication that the meeting will be
decidedly interesting from opening
round to the final gong.
Though there are 375 precincts in
Multnomah County, and each precinct
is entitled to one member of the County
Central Committee, aoout 109 of the
precincts probably will not be repre
sented. Some precincts did not elect
committeeman, and there are con
tests in several others.
Certificate Are Required.
The first test of the strength prob
ably will occur over the seating of
the contested committeemen.
No -committeeman will be entitled
to vote unless he presents his certifi
cate of election. Formerly it was the
custom to mail these certificates to the
successful candidates. There has not
been time to do so this year.
To get the certificates, members of
the committee should call at the office
of the County Clerk some time before
5 o'clock today. The credentials have
been made out there and will be given
those committeemen who call for them.
Here is a list of the committeemen
