THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1918. 11 POLICE SEARCH CITY FOR ROBBER SUSPECT More Than $15,000 Taken From East Side Bank. ARTHUR DAVIS IS SOUGHT Young Bookkeeper Give9 Wife $1500, Kisses Baby Good-bye and Disappears From Home. V Fifteen thousand dollars in cash, lib erty onds and securities are missing from the Cast Siue Bank of Portland, and police are looking for Arthur C. Iavis, a bookkeeper at the bank, who left his wife and baby and disappeared yesterday. Davis is only 20 years old. The money was taken from the safe some time Thursday night and was miased when the bank opened yester day. Police had scarcely taken up the trail'of the theif when Rev. C. Howard Davis, pastor of the First Church of the Is'azarene, made restitution of $1500 which Airs. Davis had given him, say ins the money had been left by her husbaTid. The bank closed its doors at 6 P. M. Thursday night. A Janitor began clean ing up at 6:30. After he finished the place was deserted until 8:30 A. M. yes terday, when It. E. Usher a bank em ploye, went to work. Mr. Usher found the safe open, with the contents dis ordered. The back door of the institu tion also was open. The loss of the funds was discovered almost immedi ately. Hnaband Bids Wife Cood-Bjf. Meantime Mrs. Davis had noticed that her husband was acting: queerly. He rose at the usual time yesterday and ate breakfast as fnough he were going to work. His wife thought he was worried, but forebore to question him. After 'breakfast he took a roll of money from his pocket. "I have to go away dear, but I will leave you this to take care of yourself and the baby," he said. Mrs. Davis almost fainted. Her hus band then kissed her good-bye. He ticked up the baby as though to kiss it. then laid it back in the crib and covered his face with his hands. He -recovered in a moment, put on his coat and left. Police have covered every avenue of escape, but at a lata hour last night he had not been apprehended. Money Returned to Bank. Mrs. Davis telephoned her father-in-law immediately. Rev. Mr. Davis started to her home at 109 East Thir tieth 6treet North, in an automobile, but a tire blew out and he had to walk. He arrived some 15 minutes later at his son's residence. Mrs. Davis turned the money over to him, and he returned it to the bank in time to furnish police with a clew to the identity of the robber. Young Davis has been married two years to a girl he met while both were students. He has one child 14 months old. He had been employed at the bank three months. He had the combina tion to the outer door of the safe, lead ing to the compartment where the books were kept. H. H. Newhall, president of the bank, paid yesterday that the inner door might not have been locked. Young - Uavis, he said, might have closed the outer door before anyone had ascer tained that the inner compartment was secured. , Police Comb Entire City. Police incline to the theory that sev eral persons were concerned in the robbery. Two baps containing several thousand dollars in silver were taken. The police theory Is to the effect that It was carted off in an automobile, in asmuch as it was too heavy to be car ried by one man. The money Mrs. Davis returned was in the form of bills. Chief of Inspectors' Clark detailed practically every man in the detective bureau to work on the robbery. All day yesterday police were checking tip on 1'avis' intimates, but had learned but little except that he was out a creat deal at night for the past few The funds taken consisted of $10,000 In cash and securities and liberty bonds the exact value of which can be deter mined only by checking over what re mains. Mr. Newell estimated his loss it about $15,000. Inspectors Coleman and . Morak learned late yesterday that Davis was een coming from the bank at 7 A. M. He carried out a package and deposited it in an automobile, police ay. Captain Circle raH laft niriit he was confi dent Davis had not left the city and that he probably would be arrested today.

Portland school teachers will be paid today not only for the days which they taught last month, but also for the days which they were laid off, due to the Mayor's proclamation forbidding public gatherings. This decision was reached last even ing oy the School Board following the report of Walter Kvans, Dfttrict At torney of Multnomah County, presented by his deputy, Samuel H. Pierce. Mr. Evans' opinion is based on the presump tion that an epidemic is not an act of God; that while the board, itself, did not declare schools closed, their ao quiescence in the Mayor's proclamation amounted to a ratification of the order and that practically all Judieated cases resulted in action favorable to the teachers. The office of the school clerk, room 405 of the Courthouse, will be open from 8 o'clock this morning until 3 o'clock this afternoon for the distribu tion of checks which are already mad out. If a lir. i at any time forms of those waiting for their pay checks, there will have, to be a distance of five feet between each person, in com pliance with the rulings of Or. George Parrish, City Health Officer. Director Tkumaa Goei Eaat. Director Thomas, who will leave this morning for Newark. O., on a business trip, was authorized by the board to investigate and study the school sys tems of Cincinnati. Columbus. Minne apolis. St. Paul and other large cities of the Middle. West. He will be gone from three to four weeks. . . Investigation of the petition pre sented at the last meeting of the school board by substitute teachers whose husbands are in the service shows that Mrs. Kern S. Graham, who brought the matter before the board, is the wife of a Major who receives $250 monthly. In her case and one other the requested change would have resulted in 120 a month increase. In other Instances the increase was 910 or less a month. When confronted with these facts the peti tion was withdrawn and the matter was placed on file by the board. Instructor ranted Leave. Miss Vera. Darling, instructor In bi ology at the Washington High School. was granted a year's leave of absence. which will commence Monday. Miss Darling expects to leave1 soon for serv ice as a reconstruction aide. Appreciation of the success of the Student Army .
