THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1916. DAYLIGHT 'JOB' BOLD Two Youths Held for Stealing 22 Quarts of Liquor. ST. JOHNS STATION SCENE Harvey Finder, 18, James Cham berlain, 2 0, Accused of Larceny, Kesist Arrest Theft Com mitted at Kaon Sour. Hi ilia Harvey Finder, 1250 Atlantic street, And James Chamberlain, 1406 Burrase Btreet, are under arrest on a charge of breaking- into the North Bank Station at St. Johns during the noon hour yes terday and making their getaway -with 30 quarts of liquor awaiting delivery there. The robbery for which the men ' are held is said by officers to be one of the boldest daylight "tricks" which has been accomplished in Portland in sev eral months. The two men were arrested at Greeley Btreet and Portland boulevard by Police Lieutenant Jenkins and Patrolmen Whitehead, Roberts and Hatt. They had a. wagon in which they were hauling 19 quarts of liquor at the time of the arrest. In all, 22 quarts of liquor were recovered, a quantity being found at Finder's home. Robbery Carefully Planned. The robbery was staged about 12:30 o'clock while the station agent was across the street eating his lunch. A window was broken in and the liquor in the place, consisting principally of whisky consigned, to 15 different in dividuals, was taken. It was "apparent from the first to the officers that the robbery had been planned carefully and bad been carried out by men who knew their ground and also were familiar with the time that the agent eats his lunch. The men evidently had picked their fcorse and wagon nearby while they obtained the loot. Pinder and Chamberlain made a hard fight against arrest and the officers were compelled to handcuff them to take them to the police station. Youths Show Fight. After they were handcuffed and chained together they were placed in tho rear seat of the police automobile. Even then they refused to be subdued and began kicking the officers in the back on the way to the station. It finally was found necessary for one of the officers to hold them. Pinder is 18 years old and gave his occupation as that of a clerk. Chara . berlaln, who is 20 years old, is a laborer. The two men are held on a. charge of larceny. . CONSTABLE BREAKS LAW ALCOHOL ADVERTISED FOR SALE AT AUCTION. Andy Weinberger Thinks He Has Right to Conduct Auction, but Prose cutor Says 3To. Tor several days Constable Andy Weinberger has defied the prohibition law by advertising for sale a quart bottle of alcohol at public auction next Monday. "Oh, it's all right. I've got an opin ion from the District Attorney's office on the question," Replied Constable Weinberger when the item was pointed out to him yesterday on the bulletin aboard near his office among other arti cles to be disposed of at Constable's sale. ' The head of the District Attorney's office thought differently. "'It's illegal, absolutely," said Walter H. Evans. The advertisement of an in toxicant is prohibited by the drv law and the sale of alcohol by other than a registered pharmacist to one having a physician's certificate or presenting an affidavit that it is to be for external use only is unlawful. Constable Weinberger was at lunch when the District Attorney's opinion was transmitted to his office. Deputy Constable Sig Wertheimer did not hesi tate, but scratched the offending item from the bulletin board. "I'll tell them to destroy the alco hol." he said. "It won't be sold." The sale is to be of attached goods of the Kelene Hatter Manufacturing Company and will be held at 11 A. M. Monday at room 207 Fenton building.

"That is one of the nice things about a comedy villain, no matter how bad he is. he generally gets away with it alive." Murray's activities as a film come dianhave shown him in scenes where he Is almost drowned: extricated him self from under a train: jumped from 10-story buildings, bridges and moving steamboats, but he has always man aged to come up alive in the final scene. "No," ' says Murray, "I don't care about the death- stuff, even on the screen.

Dusty" Farnum, the ' popular Pallas- Paramount star, arrived back at the studio after another one of those fish ing vacations that he frequently takes. The heat-oppressed unfortunates at the Pallas plant were very much interested in his yarns about his cruise with Zane Gray, the author. His descriptions of the scenic beauties of the spots vis ited and of cool and refreshing lunches on sheltered beaches whose only in habitants were wild fowl, made the workers green with envy. The yarn most enjoyed was about a 230-pound swordfish which got away after a struggle lasting two hours, and a half.

In a late Keystone comedy Murray plays the part of quack whose pills have a deadly effect upon several of his associates in the production, but Charlie himself escapes tneir enecis. It was first planned to bring about a climax whereby Charlie would at the end of the picture fall a victim of his own pills.

The scenario editor of one of the big Eastern companies received the synop sis of a scenario entitled "The Flivver" by telegraph last week.

The salary rate for extra neonle was given a material boost by Business Manager E. H. Allen, of the Ince stu dios, last week, when it was found necessary to engage 15 geisha girls for scenes in a roof garden. To get the correct atmosphere Director Charles Miller, who needed such players for a son sister story starring Bessie Barrls- cale. insisted that girls from Los An geles tea gardens be secured. Investi gation brought out the fact that they drew more salary than the ordinary extra girls employed at studios, and consequently would not leave their po sitions until assured of pay equivalent to. what they would earn should they remain in their regular positions.
