SWEETHEART WAITS
TILL LAW IS PAIO
ft. C. Casey Returns After 3
Years to Serve Penalty
for Trifling Forgery.
$250 JOB LEFT FOR JAIL
Fear Disturbs Slumber Even After
Years of Clean Living and Mak
ing Good and Blackmailer
Breaks In on Dream. -
After three years strife with his
conscience. In constant fear of the law.
R. C. Casey, who is said to have com
mitted a small forgery in this city,
voluntarily returned last night to pay
whatever penalty may be asked.
During that absence, and under an
other name, his true one, he has made
a success of life and lived "straight."
When he determined to make restitu
tion and pay his debt to society he
left a sweetheart In a Southern city,
left also a good position, and traveled
back to "face the music.''
He was accompanied by District At
torney Evans, and is ready to answer
to a charge that already has mellowed
on the docket of the Circuit Court.
In Portland he was known as R. C.
Casey. He was here about three years
ago and at that time is alleged to have
forged -a small check on the Ashley &
Rummelin Bank.
In St. Louis, where he left tt sweet
heart whose loyalty is unshaken, and
where he left a Job of responsibility,
he is known by his true name, which
local officials have no desire to make
public.
Fear Disturbs Slumber.
Like fiction runs the story of this
young man during the past three years,
but close investigation by District At
torney Evans while in the East bears
out the young man's statements in
every respect. Because of his belief in
Casey's honest desire to turn back the
blotted page 'of his unusual life, Mr.
Evans will endeavor to have the great
est leniency shown when final disposi
tion is made of his case.
"How I have suffered during these
three years," the young man told Mr.
Evans. "I have Joined a church, have
lived straight and have saved, but al
ways was I haunted by a fear of ar
rest. At nights I would awake with a
start and imagine that I had at last
been detected. During the day as I
eat in my office a cold sweat would
come on me and I would jump nervous
ly at every ring of the telephone bell
at my side.
Blackmailer Spoils Dream.
"And then a little more than a year
ago I fell in love. We were engaged
and had intended getting married
early this Fall. Even as I would sit
and plan with my sweetheart for our
future I would be haunted by this ever
present fear of arrest. As we planned
our little home in the suburbs my eyes
would become misty and I could see
visions of a Jail in the same place
where we had intended to build our
little home.
"Then one day just a few months ago
I was stopped on the street and con
fronted with a man whom I had met
while confined in a reformatory when
a youth. I had done wrong when a
boy and had been sent to the reforma
tory. When this feilow learned that
I had a good job and had settled down
he threatened to expose me. Then be
gan his blackmail and in desperation
I was forced to give him $100 and buy
him a ticket to another state.
Clean Life Is Lived.
"I thought surely I would be appre
hended at that time, and then when
you officials in Oregon learned of my
whereabouts I realized that my efforts
to make good might be in vain."
So much for the young man's story.
But there is another chapter which
was supplied by Mr. Evans.
"I made a close investigation and
found that Casey was really trying to
make good." said he. "It was wonder
ful to see the way his sweetheart stood
by him, and when we started on our
trip to Portland she accompanied him
for more than 50 miles.
" 'Go back and square up your ac
counts and I will be here waiting for
you, sweetheart," she told him as they
kissed at parting.
"Then, too, his employers had noth
ing but words of highest praise for his
work. He was employed by a firm of
Nation-wide reputation and was earn
ing a salary of J250 a month. They
expressed a faith in him and his job
probably will be waiting for him when
he returns.
Leniency Will Be Asked.
"His is a most unusual case and for
that reason I believe leniency should
be shown. He admits his mistake, but
for three years he had been living it
down and had made good. A bright
future lies before him if he is permit
ted to return to that girl, who is standing-
by him so nobly."
The check which Casey is said to
have admitted forging was for a small
amount. He was indicted by a grand
Jury shortly after the alleged forgery,
but was not found until a few weeks
ago. None of the local officials knew
that he had been living straight until
the return yesterday of District Attor
ney Evans. So far as Mr. Evans is
concerned, he would like nothing bet
ter than to see Casey return south and
take up that job he has so well started
the Job of making good.
PEACE EFFORT FAILS
BITTE ELECTRICIANS REFUSE TO
MEET OFFICIALS.
Mining Companies I'se .Miners to
Sharpen Enough Tools for Re-
ducrd Working Force.
BUTTE, June 29. The first effort to
bring the electricians, who are strik
ing for higher wages and recognition
of the Metal Mineworkers' Union, into
conference with the Montana Power
Company failed today, when the elec
tricians refused to meet the company
officials. It is expected that a con
ference will be arranged for later.
The electricians, it was stated by
a member of the union, did not go
into the conference because the instruc
tions received from the Metal Trades
Council did not agree with those re
ceded from their own union. The
Metal Trades Council is composed of
the electricians and the machinists.
machinists, boilermakers and black
smiths, who have declared sympathetic
strikes. The Metal Trades Council, act
ing under the authority of organizers
of international unions "has insisted
that the electricians go into confer
ence without demanding the recogni
tion of the Metal Mineworkers' Union
which as yet has no affiliation with
the American Federation of Labor. The
electricians, according to a member of
the grievance committee, refused to
withdraw their .indorsement of the
miners.
About 10 per cent of the miners are
at work in the Butte district. It was
stated officially that the mining com
panies are using miners as tool sharp
eners since the blacksmiths struck and
that with the limited force of men
underground the mines will be able to
get a sufficient number of drills to
keep all the miners who want to work
busy for a number of days.

on Lowest of Eight Bids:
CAMPAIGN PROMISE KEPT
Quotations Show That Commission's
Promise to Build Highway for
$10,000 a Mile Can Be Met.
All Bidders Satisfied.
PENDLETON', Or., June 29. (Spe
cial.) A contract for 10 miles of hard
surface pavement, the first to be let
under the road bonding measure, ap
proved at the June election, was
awarded by the State Highway Com
mission and the Umatilla County Court
today to the Warren Construction Com
pany for $119,120.42.
The section of the road to be sur
faced is the first 10 miles between
Pendleton and the state line. The bids
were for a strip 12 feet wide with
two-foot shoulders, the bidder to main
tain the road for five years and guar
antee workmanship and material.
The Commission, after awarding the
contract, agreed to widen the road be
tween the west end of the road and
Saxe Station, about five miles, to 16
feet and the contract will be made on
.that basis.
A contract was also made with the
successful bidder to maintain the road
for an additional five-year period at a
cost of 2 cents a square yard.
Warren Company Lowest.
Eight bids were presented to the
Commission, representing three types
of construction. The Warren Construc
tion Company was not only lowest bid
der for bitulithic, but its bid was the
lowest presented for any kind of pave

Representatives of all the bidders
were present and expressed themselves

made the suggestion, which was ac
cepted by the Commission, that in
future it will not be necessary to open
the bids in the county where the work
is to be done.
The Commission was particularly
pleased with the bids because of the
fact that they bore out the campaign
arguments that the road could be con
structed for $10,000 a mile. The actual
figures are $9081 a mile or $1.29 a
square yard.
The Union County Court was here
today and held a conference with the

ELECTION DATE III DOUBT
CHARTER AMENDMENT MAY BE
SUBMITTED TO VOTERS.
Officials Who Are In Office When Gov
ernor Makes Proclamation May
Not Have Terms Shortened.
SALEM. Or., June 28. (Special.)
With a final correction to be made on
election returns .for Curry County, it is
apparent the final canvass of the offi
cial returns of the election held June
4 will not be completed until July 2,
and that the proclamation of the Gov
ernor will not be prepared and issued
until July 3.
Under the amendment consolidating
state and city elections, the date of
Portland city elections will be changed
from June of odd years to November of
even years. The amendment provides
that terms of Incumbents shall not be
shortened.
Portland's new-elected city officials

bents when the Governor proclaims the
amendment in effect.
Portland, therefore, must hold its
next city election November, 1918, or in
November, 1920.
The first would result In election of
city officials seven months before they
would take office. This arrangement,
it is generally conceded, would be un
satisfactory. The probable procedure, therefore,
will be for the Citv Council to submit
a charter amendment to the voters set
ting the date of the next city election
for November, 1920, and providing that I
city officers elected then and at eub-i
sequent biennial elections shall take i
office at the beginning of the follow

Such an amendment would nntn-'
matically lengthen the terms of all
elective city officials who take office
July 1 by approximately one and one
half years.

PIONEER OF BAKER 'DIES
Daughter, Lost 2 8 Years, Reaches
Bedside, but Son Not Found.
BAKER, Or.. June 29. (Special.)
Happy that his daughter, who had
been lost 28 years, was by his bedside,
Charles Funk, aged 60 years and a
pioneer of Baker County, died at mid
night at his home in South Baker.
Around the little group, however,
there was triple sadness, because an
other daughter, Mrs. Edith H11L was
unable to reach them in time, and ef
forts to find the only son, lost 28
years ago, were unsuccessful. When
the Funks came here from Iowa hard
ships befell them and they gave the
daughter, then 3 years old. to Mr. and
Mrs. Lester Lampman, of Pleasant Val
ley. The son had been left with Mr. and
Mrs. William Vaness at Ogden, the
father intending to return soon for the
two children. When able to do so he
was unable to find either family and
only through a news item in The Ore
gonian was he able to find the daugh
ter, now Mrs. M. D. Butler, of Cali
fornia. She came here when told of
his illness. Death was caused by
Bright's disease.

Official Announcement of Parade
Contains Alluring Reference to .
Zoological Wonders Which
Will Participate.
SALEM. Or.. June 29. (Special.)
With more than 400 Shriners slated
to be In Salem tomorrow from all over
the Willamette Valley to participate in
the ceremonial of Al Kader Temple,
details are completed for one of the
biggest ceremonials ever held in the
valley.
The Portland delegation will arrive
by special train at 2:45 o'clock, and
will immediately go to Wilson Park,
where the following programme will
be given by the Shrine band:
March. "Stars and Stripes Forever"
(Sousa); overture, "Pique Dame"
(Luppe); selection, "Burgomaster" (Lu
der; waltz, "L" Estudiantina" (Wald
teufel); intermezzo, "Wedding of the
Roses" (Jessel); mazourka, "La Czar
ine" (Ganne); "Star-Spangled Banner."
Parade Promises Great Thlnsn.
The parade itself promises to be a
feature, the official announcement of
the parade containing the following
alluring reference to "the zoological
wonders which will participate:
"And there's something else in store.
That's the wild animal feature of the
parade. Heretofore the Shriners have
contented themselves with one lone
camel to make the unbelievers and
skeptical lmeagen think there is more
to the hot sands than mere hot air.
This year the . anderers who seek Al
Kader must face Bengal tigers. Suas
sian camels, the African chika and
last, but not least, Al Buska. There's a
'tail' to Al Buska. Noble Ed Croisan
in order that Buska might be in the
parade, agreed to take care of the
animal in Salem. Buska is considered
the 'strongest' animal for its size in
the world excepting the American
mephitis.
Noble Croisan Mnkea Appeal.
"Not only is Buska 'strong.' but also
heady." If reports of past ceremonials
are correct, we can prophesy a busy
time for Noble Ed Croisan. Also Master
of Ceremonies J. Buckingham is here
with noble steed Trixie, the 40-pound
Shetland, while his son, Hugh Boyd,
will ride Houri, the five-ton elephant.
"Great interest will undoubtedly be
created by the menagerie and those in
charge are declaring that Barnum has
nothing on them. Noble Ed Croisan
has issued this plea to the members of
Al Kader: "Nobles of the Faith, Allah
has designated me as the one to take
charge of the wild animals who will be
present at our hestzska. Brissmil
lah. I bespeak each of you a prayer for
my safety and food for the animals.
Bring It in boxes and in bottles, for
blessed is he who encourageth his
neighbor when he is about to get his.
Remember, Oh Nobles, if Buska gets
loose you may get yours. See. we all
get ours. Zispnska (which, in heathen
means 'get me')."
Supreme Justices to Sneak.
Following the band concert the
Shrine band will visit state institutions
and give programmes on the lawns
there, and in the evening; a banquet will
be served previous to the ceremonial.
Justice Wallace McCamant will speak,
and Justice George H. Burnett will
give an address of welcome at the
ceremonial.
