Mrs. Baldwin Takes Part of Her
Protege and "Will Help in Her
Defense Food and Clothes
for Family Arc Offered.
, New-found friends by the score are
pledging their sympathy and assistance
to Allse Kern Burch, the wronged fac
tory girl who shot and wounded Albert
K. Ilembree on Wednesday night. The
young- woman, who is 21 years old, hah
ucen reieasea under parole to and In
care of Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, super
intendent of the Women's Protective
Division. She is charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon, but no for
mal complaint has yet been made
against her. She returned to her home
last night.
Mias Burch reiterates her story of
distress, told after the shooting, and
declares that she shot Hembree because
ne reiusoa 10 marry ner and give a
name to their 17-months-old son.. She
has no remorse, she says, but obey
ing instructions from her attorney.
John Logan, refuses to discuss the
case.
Mrs. Baldwin Champions Mother.
Mrs. Lola G. .Baldwin, who personally
investigated. Is a staunch partisan for
the young woman, and said yesterday
that the Woman s Protective Division
would assume charge of Miss Burch's
affairs, care for her invalid mother and
the baby boy, and aid in her defense.
Many others, reading the newspaper ac
counts, have called on the telephone to
assure Mrs. Baldwin of their sympathy
lor the young woman.
The story, substantially as told to
rue officers of the Women s Protective
Division, is that Fern Burch met Al
bert Hembree when they were em
ployed in the same factory. He wooed
lier and asked the mother's consent to
n early marriage. This was almost
three years ago. When trouble came
to the young woman lie repudiated his
proposal of marriage. The baby was
born.
Fathtr Never Sees Boy.
Hembree never denied the parentage
tt the child. Miss Burch says, but
neither did he call to see it. His mother
and sister were frequent callers and
once helped nurse the little one
through a serious illness. Threat of
legal action, the young mother says,
caused him to pay her $5 a week for
come time. She received $125 in all,
but the last payment was made months
ego, she says.
When her child was four weeks old
the mother, enfeebled but game, re
turned to work in a factory. She was
the only bread-winner of the little
family, and there was no alternative,
fcince the birth of the child her wages
have been from $3 to tS a week. There
bave been doctor bills, rent, fuel and
food for the child, the girl and her
mother.
family Food Short. '
"We have paid somehow," Mrs. Burch
told Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin yesterday,
when the latter called at the little cot
tago, 567 East Ankeny street. "When
we didn't have the money we have
gone without."
Mrs. Burch said that her daughter
liad not eaten for three days before the
shooting, had been despondent and
brooding. Once, in the factory, she had
fainted and been carried out. So close
was the margin of wage and expendi
ture that the menu sometimes dwindled
to bread and water. Yet the home was
neat and well kept, and the child a
rosy image of health.
Wherever Mrs. Baldwin investigated
she found the friends of the girl loyal to
the last degree and outspoken in her
behalf. Edward F. Gurske, superintend
ent of the Tru-Blu. Biscuit Company,
where Miss Burch was employed, called
at the office of the Women's Protective
Division yesterday and extended his
sympathy to Miss Burch. She was as
sured that a position awaited her
whenever the present trouble had
passed.
Manager Praises Girl.
"She was one of our best girls," said
Mr. Gurske, "a mighty fine girl. Every
body liked her. We never guessed her
trouble, though she was always quiet
and reserved."
The Women's Protective Division de
sires that those who may feel inclined
to help, with gifts for the family, will
first consult with that department, in
order that the greatest benefit may be
assured. The baby boy, whose name is
ltobert, couldn't go to see his mother
yesterday, because he has no coat.
With a slight bullet wound in his
left shoulder, from which no serious
consequences are expected, Albert F.
Hembree. 24 years old, is at his home,
1061 Hawthorne avenue. His mother is
Indignant at the shooting of her son.
"I think she should be punished
declared Mrs. Hembree. "The whole
affair was settled a year and a half
ago. la the child his? Well, I'd like
to see her prove it!"

Capture and Escape From Bedouins
In Africa Related by Refugee.
Relative Is at Depot Here
to Greet Him Home.
Fiction pales beside the tale of ad
venture and battle, with a plot in the
great war, that is told by Edward
Pastaw, 29 years old. formerly of As
toria. Or., who arrived in Portland last
night. Pastaw declares that he has
completed more than a year of serv
ice in the Imperial Russian army.
He was greeted at the Union Depot
by his brother-in-law, Claude C. Hill,
of the Irving Apartments, Twenty-first
and Irving streets. A slender, tanned
young man, walking with a noticeable
limp, stepped from the stream of ar
rivals and clasped hands with Mr. Hill.
Story One of Intrigue.
"Well. I'm back, Claude," said Pas
taw. "The war?" He turned upon his
questioner. "My dear friend, I do not
wish to talk of the war. I have seen
many things too terrible to tell.
The story of Pastaw is that of an
intrigue that had for its purpose the
return of a son to the ranks of "Holy
Russia." Pastaw was the Russian,
born and bred in that country. His
father, he says, is a surgeon in the
Russian army.
When war broke out, the story runs,
the father wrote to his son, impor
tuning him to return and take up
arms In the service of his country.
Pastaw was then employed at Astoria,
Or, as a marine fireman. He demurred.
He was married, happily, and had a
child to make home what it should be.
His wife is the daughter of James
Bremner. wealthy mill and timberman.
Kldnaplne Plot Told.
The young man declined to return, it
is said, and the "disappointed father
called to his aid the mechanism of a
powerful patriotic secret order of Rus
sia. A plot was formed to return the
son by force to what the sire consid
ered his duty. It is said that a sister,
overhearing the plans of the secret
agents in her father's house, wrote
from Russia to her brother, bidding
him be on his guard.
Early one July morning, in 1313,
Pastaw says, as he was on his way to
the boat, he was overpowered, chloro
formed and spirited away to San Fran
cisco, from whence he was taken cap
tive to Russia and the army of the
Czar.
"How did it happen?" said Pastaw.
"They overpowered me, and held a
cloth to my face. I sank away and lost
consciousness. When I come to, I am a
prisoner in San Francisco. Then it is
Russia and the war."
On August 3. 1914, Pastaw says he
was received into the Russian army,
having been landed in the country and
turned over to the military authorities
by his father. He took the forced en
listment with good grace, and entered
upon a lively career with the Imperial
Light Horse Engineers.
Shrapnel Canses Limp.
'Our duty was mainly destroying
bridges, my good friend." explained
Pastaw, "and such work, but the serv
ice was active enough. I am lame?
Yes. I have not yet taken the bandage
from that leg. It was shrapnel gave
me that limp. I have been wounded
several times, that is, I have had my
legs broken, if you would call that a
wound.
The shrapnel wound and illness ren
dered him unfit for service, Pastaw
says, and he was discharged. It is
said that he received decorations for
valor in the service, although he was
himself silent on that point.
Making his way from Russia, he
reached Africa, continued the narrator,
and on the eastern plains was captured
by those fierce, swooping hawks of the
desert, the Bedouins. At that time he
was with a party of a score, all refu
gees from the great war. From the
Bedouin camp, Pastaw says, he con
trived to escape, fleeing with others
of the captives. They were pursued.
and. in a running fight, all save he and
another were slain.
Other Believed Dead.
"He was wounded, though, and I
think that ho afterward died in Al
giers." amended Pastaw.
After various vicissitudes, Pastaw
began the homeward passage, he says.
Relatives last heard from him when
letters bearing the Jamaican postmark
were received. Yesterday morning a
message was Teceived, filed at La
Grande, telling them that Pastaw was
returning.
He arrived in New York last Tues
day he says, and was betrayed by cus
toms inspectors to the newspaper men.
having to run a gauntlet of inquisitive
reporters, to whom he told nothing.
Pastaw was taken at once to the
home of his brother-in-law, Claude C.
Hill. Ills wife who is In Astoria, has
been notified of his arrival.
DISAPPEARANCE OLD MYSTERY
Astoria Hears Twice From Pastow
During liong Absence.
ASTORIA. Or.. Dec 14 (Special.)
Edward W. Pastaw, a son-in-law of
James Bremner, of this city, and at
that time fireman on the steamer Nah-
cotta, mysteriously disappeared a year
ago last July. He was supposed to
have been kidnaped and taken to his
former home in Russia.
On the morning of his disappearance
he left his home about S o'clock to go
to his work. He stopped at a lunch
counter, and that was the last seen of
him, although a bundle in which he car
ried his hat and a notebook were found
on the wharf.
A few days later a letter was re
ceived from Pastaw saying he had been
knocked unconscious and kidnaped, and
wherv he recovered consciousness he
was on board some steamer in "Victoria
or Vancouver harbor.
Recently a letter postmarked at some
point in Algiers was received from
Pastaw saying he would return to As
toria soon.

WILD BEASTS AT "HIP"
GREAT CATS DO TRICKS AT ORDER
OF MADAM OLGA.
A Leap "Year Leap and "An Evening
at the Club" Are Two of Several
Good Acta Presented.
Animals from the land of the jungle
are invariably interesting to those of
us whose nearest acquaintance with
them is made by way of story books or
an occasional visit to the circus.
Always it is the animal tent at the
circus which receives the best patron
age. Whenever a big animal act comes
to the Hippodrome it Insures close at
tention. Madam Olga presents a pretentious
act. in which five huge, spotted
leopards are made to "stand up, play
dead, roll over, jump through" and
perform a lengthy list of amazing
tricks. In a giant cage the big cats
perform at their mistress' command
and delight with their examples of sa
gacity. An act that wins laughter is a litte
farce comedy entitled "A Leap Year
Leap." A clever pair present it, the
girl posing as a coquettish, love-stck
maid. and the man as a swain who
hasn't the nerve or the initiative to
propose. The girl brings the proposal
about, and it is done to the tune of
much laughter and brllilant repartee.
A smart duo. which offers song,
dance and chatter of an up-to-the-minute
flavor are Brice and Brazee. a man
and a pretty maid. Their teamwork is
commendable, above the average, and
is artistic.
Three men in dapper evening cl.othes
present "An Evening at the Club." and
using their accidental meeting aTt the
club for a basis, proceed to entertain
each other, and incidentally the au
dience with a programme of stunts
and delightful music. Their voices
blend nicely and their selections please.
A novelty act that wins rounds of
applause is that of the Great Mars, an
artist who Is a wizard on the slack
wire, the trapeze and at balancing.
A trio of entertainers who aim to
please and succeed aimiably are Frish,
Howard and Toolin. They have these
"close harmony" voices and are heard
to advantage in a list of good things.
Another adventure in the Pathe
series of "The Shielding Shadow" Is

Dr. Mackenzie said that a moderately
aggressive campaign Is being carried
forward for the raising of the money.
He said that those in charge of the
work would not stop when the $25,000
mark was reached, however.
"Wo hope to construct a $100,000 or
$150,000 building as the first unit of
the school on the new campus above
the Terwilliger boulevard," he said.
Dr. Mackenzie said it was planned to
make the campus also a hospital cen
ter and that probably the new County
Hospital would, be erected upon it.
Ultimately, he said, there was hope
that the school might benefit from the
Rockefeller foundation, in case the
citizens of Portland showed their loy
alty by giving the institution a proper
establishment.
