ED GROSS WORKERS
MAKE FINAL APPEAL
Success of Drive Depends Up
on Last Day's Rally.
OREGON GOAL FAR AHEAD
Do Xot Think War Is Oyer, but Give
Freely, Is Advice of Dr.
Edward II. Fence.
That citizen who does not hand his
dollar to the Red Cross' today, and ask
for membership on the Christmas roll
call, must ever remember that he failed
to meet the call of the organization
which made it possible for thousands
of our boys to come home again, from
the crusade in Franca.
Today is his last chance, for" the
drive for universal membership in
1919 closes at nightfall with never a
chance for the tardy to retrieve the
lost opportunity of appreciation. The
host of tired campaigners, who grave
unstintingly of their own time and af
fairs, retire from the field. To them is
the credit for all that Oregon may do.
To those who did not answer is thef re
proach that it was not more.
No change of moment was announced
yesterday In Red Cross returns, for city
captains and country districts made no
reports. Aside from the 2000 city in
crease, gathered by the Multnomah
Guard, the figures stand as they did on
Saturday night for Portland, 80,163
members; for outer-state districts, 93,
793; a state total o f approximately
173,956.
Workers Are Hopeful.
Campaign managers make no predic
tions of what today may bring forth.
They arejonf ident that the final totals
will pass those of the previous drive, a
year ago, but are reluctantly resigned
to the belief that Oregon, unless an
unlocked for rally Is staged, will not
attain the optimistic estimate of 400,
000. That figure, while not established
as a quota, was generally taken as the
goal ahead. Roughly, it Is represented
a. four out of five ratio of possible
membership.
City Manager Henry E. Reed declared
himself to be moderately content with
current returns in Portland, and as
serted that the city campaign positively
would close tonight. Actual members
enrolled In Portland last year, Mr. Reed
pointed out. were 75,000, while present
returns already eclipse that number
and will be largely augmented.
Guard Booati Grand Total.
"Many of the big industrial plants
have yet to report." summarized Mr.
Heed. "Thus far we have received but
10.300 memberships from that source.
The estimate of memberships from the
industrial division was fixed at 21,000,
, or 70 per cent of the entire industrial
field. We-have every reason to believe
that, additional industrial plant reports
will prove heavy.
"I have gone over the precinct lists
with Mrs. Frank R. Jones, in charge ot
that work, and find that many of the
precinots have not yet been reported
These precincts are tardy, but they will
come in all right, and serve further to
swell Portland's total enrollment. The'
campaign will go forward today, as it
- has throughout the past week, but to
night will see its close."
Under the supervision of Colonel L
P. Campbell, commander, and Captain
R. C. Dolbin, adjutant, the Multnomah
Guard regiment thoroughly covered ttajj
city by districts yesterday, the mem
bers soliciting in uniform. They
worked unremittingly, and in many in
stances found it necessary to make a
dozen calls or more ere they came to
a. home where the Red Cross emblem
was not displayed.
Red Cross Canteen Active
The largest return from any district
covered by the guardsmen, according
to Colonel Campbell, was 302. The sum
represented toll in memberships taken
in the district from Washington to
lloyt street, anj from the river to
Kleventh street.
Estimates made late last night by
Colonel Campbell and Captain Dolbin
place the number of memberships se
cured by the Multnomah Guard at ap
proximately j'uuu. Ttie iist will be thor
oughly checked this morning and a cer
tilled check for the amount will be
handed to City Campaign Auditor O. C
ISortzmeyer.
No especial features will mark the
olosing day of the campaign in the
city, with the exception of downtown
soliciting by a squad of soldiers de
tailed for that duty from Vancouver
Barracks. Uoth soldiers and girls of
the lied Cross canteen served yester
day throughout the city, aiding in the
enrollment drive that visited every
church. Saturday's street reports of
the Red Cross canteen members totaled
729, said Mrs. A. It. Innes, assistant
city manager.
Rural Districts Respond.
Multnomah County, outside" of Port
land, will present a very creditable
roster for admission to the Red Cross.
The total for the county district will
not be less than 5000, predicts Dr. H. C.
Fixott, county chairman. Two of the
most prolific membership, districts,
Riverside precinct and the stockyard
section, although outside of Portland,
are included in the city campaign and
are denied to. Dr. Fixott's total.
. "Speaking of kohinoor quality pa
triotism," said O. C. Bortzmeyer, city
campaign auditor, last night, "it is
worthy of note that fully 50 per cent
of the Vancouver Barracks ,boys who
helped In the drive insisted upon pay
ing for memberships. We told them
that the Red Cross didn't want their
money, that soldiers need not become
members, but they were a cheerfully
obstinate lot and we had to take their
dollars and give them the membership
buttons."
Red Cross Loses Mascot.
Somewhere in Portland there roams
a genial Airdale dog, a walking, can
tering, trotting exemplar of the Red
Cross. Masterless but happy, he sidled
into Liberty Temple and made frtends.
They girt his body with Red qross
armbands, while he wagged an appre
ciative tail. Saturday he went home
with W. K. Lamb, of the military police.
Later he drifted into the night in pur
suit of a stray cat, and Liberty Tempi
knew him no more.
"He was the best-natured 'koodle' 1
ever saw," avered a fair solicitor. "He
wore those Red Cross bands as though
he were proud of them. The city cam
paign may have lost Its mascot, but
wherever he is he's carrying the mes
sage." State headquarters received no re
ports from the outer-state districts yes
terday. It is anticipated that several
thousand memberships, at least, were
unreported. Instructions have gone out
to every worker in the -state, bidding
them relax no effort, but strive to
make the closing day of the campaign
the biggest of the lot.
Pastor Lands Red Cross.
State Chairman Wilber E. Comaih
commenting on the largely Increased
returns of Saturday in the city, ex
pressed his belief that the prospect of
visits from the Multnomah Guard, as
announced, was directly responsible for
the increased tide of dollars.
That the Red Cross may become of
even more overshadowing importance
in saving the starving millions of Eu
rope than it has y.et been, and that it
should, therefore, have the heartiest
support of every loyal man and woman
in-.America, was the declaration of Dr.
Edward H. Pence, pastor of West
minster Presbyterian Church, from his
pulpit yesterday. He was giving a re
minder of the organization's place in
the world and calling upon his con
gregation to give it their utmost
sympathy and help.
"Do not think that the war is over,"
said Dr. Pence, "to the extent that you
shall feel there is nothing more for the
Red Cross to do. It has the larjgest
kind of a task ahead, and without the
heartiest support of all ldyal people,
it cannot perform that task. Millions
of the stricken people of Europe must
be cared for. Starvation stalks -abroad
In some of their lands. In Russia
alone, it is estimated that perhaps as
many as 2.000,000 will die of hunger
this Winter.
Overseas Conditions .Told.
"Poor Belgium, France and Italy are'
famished and must be fed largely by
us; Russia is bleeding and faces worse
than death unless some one can Inter
vene and save her and thus establish
the truth among her peoples that
there is help from Christian nations.
Should the allies go in, it might be
misunderstood, and resented. Who
knows but that the Red Cross, If given
the means, may prove the agency
through which Russia may bf re
claimed and stabilized?
"In any event, all patriotic. Chris
tian .people should support to the limit
this great world organization. Do not
misunderstand when it is eaid they
are not taking large collections, but
merely memberships; do your part by
joining and thus backing up the work
yet to be done."
TAGOMA STRIKETHREATENS

Delegates In All-Day Conference in
Attempt to Settle Electricians
Demand for Wage Increase.
TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 82. While del
egates from the. Central Labor, Metal
Trades and Building Trades Councils,
along with representatives of the strik
ers, were in conference all day today in
an effort to settle the electricians'
strike officials of the unions, which are
out, engaged in a wrangle for a, sym
pathetic strike, which would tie up
every industry in Tacoma. Early this
evening strikers reported that the city
firemen had signed an agreement in
dividually to walk out New Year's day
unless a wage increase demanded by
them was grantea.
While both the strikers and the City
Commissioners agree that it is impera
tive that the tieup of the city not
reach a point that Federal or military
intervention become necessary, the
union officials are proceeding to ar
range a general walkout of all munici
pal employes, shipyard workers and or
ganized employes of private corpora
tions which are furnishing electrical
current to Tacoma.
Following a conference with mili
tary authorities at Camp Lewis, Com
missioner Davisson announced that If
the strike reaches a point where the
current is cut off from the military
reservation, soldiers will be sent to the
generating plant at La Grande to taTTe
charge there and supply current to the
military needs.

1T0RI0US 'HOLIDAY
SWINDLER'ISCAUGHT
William Keough, Accused of
Many Forgeries in Portland.
TRAVELER'S CHECK USED
Man, Arrested In Altoona, Pa., Said
to Uave. Posed Her as Canadian
Miner in Successful Operations.
William Keough, alias "Christmas
Keough," charged with swindling the
United. States National Bank of Port
land out of 11800 in October, 1911, and
reputed to be a dangerous forger, was
arrested Saturday night in Altoona,
Pa., by operatives of the Pinkerton
National detective agency, according
to a telegram received yesterday at
the local Pinkerton office.
Keough. who is known as the "holi
day swindler," Is sajd to have passed
forged checks aggregating hundreds of
thousands of dollars In the past 10
years. An idea of the extent of his
operations may be gathered from the
fact that the Canadian Bank of Com
merce ceased Issuing Travelers' checks
in the denomination of $200 because
Keough was alleged to have adopted
that particular check as his pet for
gery. ,
Krouch Former Prizefighter.
Roy E. Mason, superintendent of the
local Pinkerton office, says that
Keough is well known In Portland.
Keough was a prizefighter, and fought
Patsy Cardiff here in 1893. The bout
was staged in the old Pastime Club,
then managed by Jak Dempsey.
Mr. Mason says Keough began his
operations in Portland under the pat
ronage of James C. Gibson, who had
met him and believed that Keough was
honest. Mr. Mason says Mr, Gibson
introduced Keough at the United Slates
National Bank.
According to Mr. Mason, Keough
later formed an acquaintance with Joh,n
Simmons, a local barber, who took him
to tha-l'irst National Bank and intro
duced him to Arthur Jones, who was
then with that institution. Mr. Jones
declined to accept Keough's paper un
less Mr. Simmons would indorse it. This
Mr. Simmons refused to do, and the
matter was dropped.
Travelers' Check Is Favorite.
Tire draft On the United States Na
tional Bank purported to have been
drawn by Drexel & Co.. Philadelphia
bankers. Other big forgeries of which
Keough is accused are the swindling
of Charles Kein and Tiffany, New York
jewelers, and the First National Bank
of Chicago, where a draft for $1100
was passed.
Mr. Mason says, however, that
Keough's favorite was the $200 check
on the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
He is alleged to have posed as a Cana
dian miner. His method of operation,
according to Mr. Mason, was to visit
the best jewelry or department store
in a city, present a business card, and
purchase jewelry, cameras, or guns,
tendering the counterfeit travelers'
check in payment.
The swindle was so successful that
two or three years ago the bank ceased
Issuing the f 200 denomination, and noti
fied all Its clients and business men
that checks of that denomination were
forgeries. The ruse proved unsuccess
ful until Saturday night, when Keough
is alleged to have presented one of the
counterfeits In Altoona.
Kiouih was an immaculate dresser.
His ordinary attire was a black broad
cloth overcoat, furllned, with a Persian
lamb collar, under whrch he wore only
the most expensive clothing. He wore
a 3-karet diamond ring, and a scarf pin
with a diamond of the same weighty
"Holiday Swindler.- Kame Gives.
His nickname, Christmas Keough, the
"Holiday Swindler," resulted from the
fact that he confined his operations to
the period between Thanksgiving and
New Year's day.
Bertillon records show that only
once during his long career was
Keough apprehended. He was arrested
for forgery on April 6, 185. and
served two years in the Colorado State
Penitentiary. He was then 29 years
old.
Keougb Is a man of good presence.
He is six feet and three-quarters of an
inch tall, and weighs ISO pounds. He is
known by 11 different alias names.
