TRAIL STARTS IN TACOMA Runaway Pair, Spilled From Ma chine, With Officer In Pursuit, Fall 18 Feet Over Bluff and 4 for a Time Side in Brush. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) A young man and young woman, giving their names as Stuart Holmes and Leslie Holmes, "brother and Bister." during the past 48 hours have etolen two automobiles, wrecked them, led the authorities an all-night chase through the brush and now the girl is in jail and her "brother" is in St. Joseph's Hospital nursing a bullet wound above the knee. Holmes, who is 24, and his "sister," who is 22 years of age, say they are from Seattle. They admitted that Sat urday morning they stole a machine in Tacoma and started down the Pacific Highway for Portland. When within two miles of Kelso, Wash., last night, they ran the machine into the ditch, accidentally. They walked to Kelso, where it is charged they entered the garage of Dr. Davis, took out his small runabout and started for Vancouver. Dr. Davis in a short time learned him machine had been taken and he telephoned Sheriff Studebaker at Kala ma, who in turn telephoned Sheriff Biesecker and Elmer Barbeau, Chief of Police here. J. Andy Carter, Deputy Sheriff at Kalama, started out after the Holmes pair in a machine. Sheriff Biesecker and Deputy George Johnson went to Salmon Creek in a machine and waited for them to pass. Carter, leaving 25 minutes behind the Holmes couple, grained until only, six minutes behind. Couple Spilled In Crash. When Salmon Creek bridge was reached. Holmes refused to stop. How ever, the machine skidded, struck a stump, went into the ditch and threw the man and woman out. Holmes and the girl walked into the brush Dy the roadside and fell over a bluff for a drop of 18 feet, landed in Salmon Creek, crossed and escaped for the time in the underbrush. Sheriff Biesecker and his deputies, Oeorge Johnson and Hoyt Blair and Mr. Carter and Police Officer MeCurdy sur rounded the place. Officer Burgy came and remained until about 1 A. M. About 10 o'clock this morning the couple came out of the brush. Holmes was carrying the woman's muff, in which he had a hammer. He neared Carter and attempted to do him bodily harm. Kailing. he started to run, chased by Carter. Seeing his man was about to get away. Carter fired a few shots in the air to stop him. Holmes did not stop until Carter put a bullet through the flesh of his leg above the knee. Man Is Taken to Hospital. Holmes was carried to the road and placed In the car of J. Frederick Paige, who was passingr, and was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in this city, where it was learned that the bullet had ' not shattered the bone. The girl was taken to the County Jail and later to Kalama by Mr. Carter, under instructions from Sheriff Stude baker, of Kalama. Holmes will be taken to Kalama for trial when his wound permits. While Holmes and the woman say they are brother and sister, the officers do not believe they are telling the truth, or even giving their proper names. The woman practically admitted tonight she was not Holmes' sister. She said he had been a waiter and she had done general housework. They were only fairly well dressed. They would not talk further about themselves. ner's reach, a base hit for- a left-1 handed man nine times out of ten. The one play that would save the game needed a spectacular setting, but at the vital second young Scott came bounding through without a slip. Not only in her world's series cam paigns, but in her pennant race against White Sox and Tigers, this Boston outfit has built up the knack of meet ing each turn with some brilliant ef fort that cracked the opposing attack. Boston Defense Staunch. Not only In these vital spectacular moments, but in the average drive of the game, there is no questioning the staunchness of Boston's defense. She has no hard-hitting array, but she has an infield and an outfield that can be relied upon to stand up under the charge. And this is where Brooklyn must improve to have even the gray ghost of a chance. Brooklyn's pnnch will compare with Boston's, but Brooklyn's defense is an other affair. The four mlsplays that Brooklyn made on Saturday cost ex actly four runs. Three were made by the infield and one by the outfield, and they all came when the pressure was at its height. A ball club can win a world's series through fine pitching and good fielding without any powerful attack, but no club yet has ever won a series with a reeling, rickety defense. If Brooklyn's infield stands up back of Coombs i and Marquard or Cheney and Pfeffer, the Klatbush assault may drive in enough runs to win. Jacit Coombs, if he works, is not likely to be assailed with any great effect. The Red Sox are going to find him a hard man to overthrow, provided he gets the backing that Ruth is almost sure to get. Backing- Mast Be Perfect. And this backing must be well-nigh perfect if the left-handed star is to. be stopped. For the Job of getting more than one or possibly two rune off Ruth is a monumental assignment. The tnree main sluggers that Robby has in camo Wheat, Daubert and Stengel are all left-hand hitters who will find that canister speed of the Babe's beyond their reckoning. Ruth h,as never started a world's series game, but he has now had enough seasoning to be at his best, and 1916 found him the greatest left hander In the American League; in fact, the greatest left-hander in the game. Only great defensive ball back of fine pitching will ever toss him overboard If he is near his average day in and day out form. There is another side to that Boston slip In Saturday's game. After round ing up a lead of 6 to 1 the Red Sox undoubtedly began to let down and drift along with the tide. They are not likely to repeat this error. They have found now how very close it brought them to trouble and defeat. The issue after the seventh Inning looked to be so soft and spongy that no great effort was required. But that easing-up process has more than likely taught Boston her lesson with consid erable effectiveness. Red Sox Not Over-Confident. If Boston Is beaten Monday It will not be through any over-confidence, the one thing that Carrigan has had to fight and the one thing that will wreck any ball club in the game if carried into careless play. The batting of Myers, Stengel and Wheat was up to expected standards in the Saturday card, and now Robby and his men believe that Jake Daubert will join this trio and complete Brook lyn's attacking strength. If Jake had been able to unfold his batting reper toire in the first game there might have been another story, but he gets a tough bird in Babe Ruth to use as starter for any slugging outbreak. Rube Marquard was around today by no means depressed over his defeat. The Rube understands well enough that he did his part of it. and he Is now asking for a chance to open the Brooklyn start on Tuesday. With bet ter support, the tall southpaw still be lieves that he can repeat his 1912 achievement, when he beat Buck O'Brien 2 to 1. facing a harder-hitting team than " Boston has today. The dope now is that Marquard will work one of the home games at Brooklyn to a certainty, the exact date depending largely on the outcome of the second contest. COOMBS HOPE OF ROBINS (Continued From First Page.1 great pitching will ever stop Babe Ruth in this second carnival, for the Babe is loaded to the gunwale with the stuff that very few can hit. All through Saturday night and Sunday the grand old dope was on parade up and down the fan avenues of Boston, with Satur day's battle forming the foundation for most of the peppery chit-chat tossed back and forth. There were those who saw In the Red Sex ninth inning smear a new Brooklyn hope, and greater confidence for the games to come. These believe that Shore's big cave-in will convince Robins that Boston's pitching staff is far from invincible, and that if Shore can weaken, so can Leonard and Ruth. Fhore's work was certainly far below the standard he set against Philadel phia lart fall, and this break was taken as an outside tip that the great start may not be as great as it has been outlined to be. Another Angle Favors Sox. But there is still another angle. Bos ton's main strength was supposed to rest with unbeatable pitching. Bos ton was supposed to have the edge . mainly through the known prowess of her moundsmen. Now. the argument turns, if Boston can draw a poorly pitched game, which may happen in the best pitching families at any time, and still win, what Is to happen when Ruth and Leonard come through at top speed? "If Boston can suppress Brooklyn with one of her pitchers in a highly rickety mood, how is Brooklyn going to achieve any net result with a Bos ton pitcher at his normal effective ness?" This is the spicy rebuttal that Bos ton fans offer, and it is a hard one to meet. There is also this segment of the dope that is not to be overlooked The Red Sox have had the habit, built up through many campaigns, of rising to meet the festive or feverish occa sion. Their break on Saturday was not team break, but a slip confined to one athlete, meaning Col Shore, the tar- heel terror. Hooper Ready In Pinch. Take up the two vital spots In Satur day's game, the fourth and ninth in nings. In the fourth canto. Buck Wheat drove home the tleing run with a triple, nobody being out. If Wheat scored Brooklyn moved out ahead, replete with pep and confidence and a far harder club to crush. Cutshaw's fly to right would have scored the Brooklyn slug ger 19 times out of 20. Only the finest sort of a play would dismantle the rally. - To turn the trick Hooper first had to make a remarkable catch, jump ing for the ball, and then he had to follow this by first recovering his bal ance and pegging perfectly to the plate. Yet at the main moment the Red Sox star completed the double act where nothing but spectacular work would have availed. The same situation arose in the ninth. With the bases full and Dau bert up with the tieing run on third, any slip meant disaster. .Daubert' s rap was just beyond Gard- at..-,! .vvn v-V v.v...v.v., v:,v There is But One Genuine Aspirin Counterfeits and substi tutes may be ineffective, and even harmful.

CLASS LEGISLATION PLAIN HOSIER FAIR DRAWS GRANGE AXD . INDUSTRIAL CXCB EXHIBITS ARE NUMEROUS. Florence Evans and Ida Nielsen Win Trips to CorvaJIis Camp Arts Cole First in Canning-. MOSIERk Or., Oct. 8. (Special.) The community fair held In Hosier Satur day afternoon brought out a good crowd of farmers and townspeople. Ex hibits were displayed by the local grange, under whose auspices the fair was held, and considerable space was reserved for the exhibits of the local school children in the industrial club work. Members of the grange had many exhibits, both grown and manu factured, as did the school children. Of the latter, Florence Evans and Ida Nielsen, who reside in the valley, were tied with high score of 37. These two girls will have their expenses paid to the Corvallls Camp School next June. In the canning Hontest, Arta Cole was high with a score of 36, followed by Ora Evans, with a score of 34. At the Wasco County Fair the order of scores of these two girls was reversed. N. C. Maris, industrial field worker for the state of Oregon, who was tne judge of the exhibits, said that the project re port of Arta Cole was exceptionally good. County School Superintendent Clyde T. Bonney. and A. K, Chase, county agent, also were present from The Dalles, to assist In promoting the suc cess of the local fair. A cafeteria supper satisfied the hun ger of the crowd, and the day's events were brought to a close by an enter tainment furnished by the people of the community. UNIONIST SCORES LAW SEATTLE LABOR LEADER SAYS 8 HOCR ACT IS BLOW. Right of Congress to Take Oats Crop From Growers and Give It to Trainmen Denied Immc- dlate Repeal Vrged. FORT WORTH, Tex.. Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) H. IC. Pooe, president of the As sociation of Farmers' Union Presidents, has issued a statement asking the farmers to urge their Congressmen to repeal the Adamson law at the next session of Congress. Mr. Pope has also issued a pamphlet analyzing the effect of this law on agricultural Interests. Mr. Pope denounces the law as of fending the covenant which the Gov ernment made the people to give equal rights to all and special privileges to none. "The defendants of the Adamson law have had much to say about emanci pating labor," says the statement, "but how about enslaving the farmer? If giving to the trainmen is a virtue, is not taking from the farmer a crime? Has Congress the power to Increase the expenses of industry many millions of dollars without someone's paying tha bill? II so, then Congress should lm mediately assemble and legislate all the people Into Idleness and wealth This law Is unsound in principle and unjust In application. If we are to extend this character of benevolent legislation to all railroad employes as well as to the employes of all other lines of Industry, it will take the American wheat crop to finance the laws. "This is an annual contribution which the farmers of the Nation are not financially able to make, and the only way to prevent it is to persuade our Congressmen, no matter of what political faith, to take this law off the statute books. The question is not whether this or that political party should rule, but whether Congress has power to take the oat crop from the American farmer and give it to the trainmen; whether our Government has authority to force one class of citizens to turn over property to any other class without compensation. If this character of legislation Is permitted to inhabit our statute books then property has no rights that Con gress is bound to respect." PRUNE SHIPMENTS BEGIN Six Carloads Daily Going East From Clarke County. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct. 7. (Spe cial.) Six carloads, or approximately 360,000 pounds, of Clarke County dried prunes are being shipped across the continent from Vancouver each day. The first .lot was sent Saturday. The prunes, part of the finest crop ever produced in Clarke County, are being shipped to the big cities in the East, where they find a ready market. Some of them will go to New York for ex port to Europe. Only in a few cases is harvest still under way. The crop in the county is nearly three times as large as last year and will total more than 160 cars. The quality is excellent and the crop will run 30-40 to the pound. The total value of the crop to the growers is estimated at $650,000. Last year's crop did not exceed JSbO.ooo in value. Vossische Zeltung. Captain von S&lz mann. is quoted by the Overseas News Agency In a discussion of the Somme battle as follows: "We know that France and England already have employed 90 divisions on the Somme. which means a million men. and that 500,000 of these 90 divisions are already disabled. Our enemies themselves give the number 500,000 as disabled. "On the small sector of the whole front formed by the Somme our troops have rought In proportion of one to three, perhaps one to five, and have withstood tne attacks. "We are now in the fourth month of the battle and .the front has been made solid. There were certainly critlfal moments, but we conquered them. We stand firm and unshaken." LAST SERMON IS PLEA DR. F.

Ir. Loveland made practically no re view of his work in Portland, nor did he make his sermon one of general ad vice on the affairs of the congregation, or a formal adieu to his parishioners. "I shall not really preach you a fare well sermon," he said, and then went on to devote his last sermon to a fer vid plea to his listeners to make the Ideal of Christ the guiding ideal In their dally lives. "The Idea of National liberty with the life of the individual subordinated to that of the Nation has developed from toe beginnings of mankind, and it is that Ideal that is deluging Europe with blood today." he said.' "Th-e Ideal -of individual freedom began on Calvary. "Only by linking yourself with the power of an endless life' through Christ are you able to realize freedom in Its fullest sense.

WEST SIDE ROAD URGED PERMANENT ORGANIZATION IS FORMED AT DALLAS MEETING, Failure of American Federation to Solve Problem Pointed Out Before German-American Club. TACOMA, Wash.. Oct 8. (Special.) Albert A. Pilier. Seattle labor leader, denounced the Adamson law granting an eight-hour day to railroad men. in a speech delivered here today to the Associated German.A tnrirfln PonnK. lican Clubs of Washington, meeting In BitLie convention. "Three 'years ago in Philadelphia," said Mr. Pilier "Samuel Gompers. speaking from the floor of the Ameri can Federation of Labor convention, assailed invocation of political action to bring abo'ut the universal eight hour day. He scored it on the ground that it leaned toward paternalism. He said that any improvement of condi tions in working conditions must be won by the unions themselves, not by outside help. "Now. the American Federation of Labor has fought over this point for three years, and has been unable to solve the problem. How could Presi dent Wilson and Congress settle It In three days? The Adamson law is a blow to Americanism and union labor." KLAMATH DUMPS LIQUOR 168 Bottles of Beer and Four Kegs of Wine and Gin Destroyed. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Oct. 8. (Spe cial.)

The West Side Pacific Highway Associa tion was permanently organized in Dallas last night at a rousing good roads meeting held In the Armory. All West Side counties between Portland and Eugene, with the exception of the coast counties, were represented by larg delegations. The meeting was en thusiastlc. C. H. Moores, of Newberg, was elected permanent president and W. T. Vinton, of McMinnviile. perma nent secretary. The president was au thorized to appoint 20 vice-presidents. They will be named within a few days. The meeting was addressed by sev eral prominent good roads enthusiasts of the state. Chief among the visiting speakers was Rufus C Holman, of Portland. Mr. Holman struck the key note when he urgently advocated the necessity of so locating the West Side Highway that it would touch all county seat towns as well as state institu tions. That seemed to be the prevail ing sentiment. This would mean that the proposed highway should be lo cated through McMinnviile, Dallas and Corvallts. The route most favored seemed to be that through Tigard. Rex, Newberg, McMinnviile. Dallas, Mon mouth, Corvallls, Monroe, Junction City and thence to Eugene. A lateral would be run from Hillsboro to connect with the main trunk line. The sentiment of -the meeting was overwhelmingly in favor of the con struction of a hard-surface trunk line. it VNE night while Mother and Daddy were away, Nursie XU went out and locked us in.
