16 GIRLS ARE MISSING
DISCLOSURES OF "WHITE SLAVE
RING ALARM BIREAU HEAD.
Summer's' Report of - Mrs. Baldwin
Shows Many Return; Few Each
Month Don't Come Back.
. "Where is the "port of missing girls?"
This is a question which has come
vividly to the mind of Mrs. Lola G.
Baldwin, of the Women's Protective
Bureau, in view of the recent disclos
ures tending to show that Portland
chauffeurs and candy vendors in local
theaters are moving spirits in a "white
slave" ring which is now under a rigid
investigation by county authorities.
The latest girl to be reported as miss
ing is pretty 15-year-old Hazel Fudoff,
a fair-haired Russian girl. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Tudoff, 669
Water street.
. She was last seen last Friday eve
ning at a First street motion picture
theater. At that time she wore a blue
skirt, a pink sweater and had no hat.
She has brown hair and gray eyes and
is 5 feet 1 Inch in height. She had
been working at a local biscuit. factory
under the name of Mary Smith.
Although the reports on "missing
girls" show that a large number of
them have been located through Mrs.
Baldwin's department, the fact remains
that there are about 15 girls who have
disappeared during the past -' four
months and have not been reported as
found. " "
Iuring June, nine girls were report
ed as missing, while five of this num-
( ber were later found. During July, 14
: girls were missing and 11 were locat
ed. In August, 21 were reported miss
ing, of whom 17' were later found and
returned to their homes.'; The month
ly report for September has not yet
been tabulated, but the average Is be
lieved to be about the same as that of
the preceding months.
SHIPYARD MAN IS ACCUSED
Other Complaints to Be Made, Labor
Officials Say.
ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.)
Charging him. with "false representa
tion in respect to employment," a com
plaint .was filed' in Justice Carney's
court this morning against James Al
len, superintendent of the McEachern
shipyards. The case will be heard on
Saturday morning. The complaint was
sworn to by Ray ' Brackett, said to be
one of the men who arrived yesterday
to work, in the yards.
This case grew out of the fact that a
party of 48 workmen arrived here
Tuesday from Portland, to accept em
ployment in the McEachern yards.
The labor leaders stated this after
noon that about 20 more complaints
will be filed against the McEachern
Company charging them with a similar
offense.
The company officials assert there
was no misrepresentation made to the
men brought here yesterday. They were
not brought as strikebreakers, but to
increase the normal working force, as
the plan is to double the capacity of the
yard, tney said.
NEW ILLNESS RULE MADE
Children "Will No Longer Have to
Go to City Hall for Permits.
The city health "bureau rule requir
ing children to Journey to the City Hall
to get permits to return to school after
three days' absence on account of ill
ness is to be supplanted, by an. order
enabling school principals to issue the
permits at the schools in all cases
where it is absolutely certain, that the
illness was. not a contagious disease
of any kind.
The rule has been complained of for
years because of the necessity of chil
dren traveling all the way to the City
Hall. The new order requires that the
principal refer to the health office all
cases in which' there is any suspicion
of the Illness having been, contagious.
Fish Market to Be Advertised. -
The Portland'. Ad Club Fish Market
will achieve more than local fame. S.
C. Bratton, president of . the club, has
been informed that the Industrial Film
Service has been "taking, moving -pictures
of the market and beginning to
morrow will display them to the people
of Oregon for a period of four months.
During this time the. pictures will be
shown in nearly 60 theater in. the
state. . .
CORONER SEEKS PAY
Does Dr. Dammasch Hold . 2
; Lucrative Offices, Is Asked.
OTHER CASES TO COME UP
2 0 County Employes Awaiting Coun
try's Call; Plan by Which Differ
ence Between Army and Civil
" Salaries Mar Be Paid Sought.
District Attorney Kvans has written
Attorney-General Brown for an opinion
as to what constitutes a "lucrative
office" as it is used in the state con
stitution. An Interpretation of the lan
guage Is desired by Mr. Kvans and the
Board of County Commissioners in or
der that they may decide how to pro
ceed with reference to the salary of
Lr. F. 11. Dammasch. Multnomah Coun
ty Coroner, who seeks to continue to
draw his salary, although absent from
his office. He is a reserve officer of
the, United States Army, now on active
duty in the medical department with
the rank of. First Lieutenant.
Dr. Dammasch, who for several weeks
has been stationed at Fort Riley, Kan.,
recently wrote the County Commission
ers intimating that he thought he was
entitled to continue to draw his salary
as Coroner. He takes the position that
the commission he holds as a reserve
officer does not constitute a "lucrative
office" in the meaning of he consti
tution and feels that the county should
continue his salary iri his absence, in
order that he be adequately compensat
ed for the sacrifice he has made in giv
ing up the practice of his profession.
Mr. Kvans is of the opinion that Dr.
Dammasch is in reality holding two
"lucrative" offices and as a result Is
automatically prevented from longer
drawing a salary from the county.
The case of Dr. Dammasch Is not the
only one confronting the County Com
missioners. At the present time there
are 20 county employes who are cither
holding commissions and awaiting ot
ters or are subject to call under the
draft. The Commissioners feel that
some provision should be made by
which these employes shall not make
any financial sacrifice by reason of
their enlistment. Some plan is being
sought by which the county can pay
these men the difference between tfce
salary they received from the county
and the pay they will get as commis
sioned officer or enlisted men in the
country's service.
In addition to Dr. Dammasch, six
other county employes have reported
for active service. These six are: A. A.
Murphy, Deputy District Attorney, who
is a First Lieutenant, salary $166 a
month; Arthur "Wager, Deputy County
Clerk, private, 130; C. J. Klingel. spe
cial agent for County Court, Captain,
$200; Paul Geer, tax department, pri
vate, $30; O. H. McFherson, Deputy
County Clerk, quartermaster sergeant.
$44. and H. J. Farmer, roadmaster's of
fice, Second Lieutenant, $1-5.
Other employes of the county who
either hold commissions and are await
ing orders or are included In the draft
call, according to the records of County
Auditor Martin, are: Charles Smith. H.
U. Welch. F. . King, T. J.' Sheridan,
Edward Springer, E. B. Allen. J. C.
