SEATTLE. Wtslu, March IS. CSpe
ClaL Spirited away from the House
f the Good Shepherd by two deputy
Sheriffs at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Ruth Garrison. IS. confessed
layer of Mrs. Grace K. Storrs. was lost
to the public and to her attorney until
an early hour today. Then she was
found in the Juvenile Detention home,
200 Broadway, where ahe will remain
Xor at least a few days.
Even after it had been learned where
tie had spirited the girl. Sheriff John
Stringer flatly declined to say where
lie had taken her and the screen of
mystery was thrown over the entire
matter.
All the sheriffs force faithfully
obeyed Instructions to keep the decep
tion barrier intact between a too-curious
populace and the girL
Attorary ttada Ills Client.
One only was there a rift in the
Jnystery ciouds in which the sheriff
so concealed his prisoner. That came
at :45 P. M. when Thomas M. Askren,
the young woman's attorney, caught
tip with his client at the county JaiL
There the lawyer talked briefly with
the girl and left with the impression
that she was to pass the night in that
Institution.
A storm of protest throughout the
city has arisen over the sheriffs ac
tion. Miss Garrison was allowed to
resit today. s.he was visited by her
sister, father and mother, and she at
tended retislnus services in the home.
Sheriff Ptrlncer says that she will be
Icept here until her trlaL Phe was
placed there after conferring with Su
perior Judce King i) keman. Judge of
the Juvenile court.
Morra Fare Caarge.
Storrs Is to be retumcdJto Okanogan
tomorrow where he will be tried on a
charge of abduction. He is inclined to
be cocky about the chances of bcinc
convicted, but Prosecuting Attorney
Gresham says that ho "hasn't a chance
in tho world."
"If we can't prove Storrs morally re
sponsible for the killing of his wife
by Ruth Garrison, it will be the
strangest Jury we have ever had in
Okanogan county."
Thia was the answer of Prosecuting
Attorney W. C. Gresham of Okanogan
when told of the boast of Douglas M.
fclorrs that "they will never stick me
for a felony."
Sermon topics by Seattle pastors for
their Sunday evening sermons, as well
as text, savored strongly of the trag
edy of the past week. Public opinion
which has b-en aroused called forth
from the pulpits many solemn warn
ings to parents and stern advice to the
young people of the city.
As in the case of the labor crisis
some weeks a 150. Seattle ministers went
to tho root of the trouble in thorough
going fashion.. Practically every min
ister had something to say about the
case and a number made it the main
theme of their sermon.
"You know, we are a bil old-fashioned
over there; we believe in the old Fibll
cil Injunction: "An eye for an eye; a
tooth for a tooth.' "
Sheriff Defends Action.
"Ridiculous, simply howl, bubble,
rheap clatter, an effort to break into
the limelight, to get cheap publicity."
With these words Sheriff Stringer
characterises the men and women
prominent in civic and welfare work
who have expressed themselves in pro
test of Ruth Garrison's removal from
the county Jail to another asylum.
The persons referred to In particular
were Dr. M. A. Matthews, pastor of the
'irst Presbyterian church; Mrs. J. L.
I'.urnside. clubwoman and child wel
fare worker, and Klmer K. Todd, at
torney, and Mrs. A. M. Bonnar, a promi
nent clubwoman of Seattle.
Dr. Matthews is quoted as having
aid that "Miss Garrison is guilty, is
no more worthy of consideration than
anyone else guilty of such a crime."
Mr. Todd said: "placing her In the
House of the Good Shepherd instead
of the Jail is morse in the effect on the
public than It is a benefit for the
girL The beat way to foster senti
tnentali5m Is to treat prisoners guilty
'ef such a crime as martyrs."
Mrs. Rurnside: l do not believe we
hould be severe with persons accused
ef crime before they are found guilty.
I feel that Kuth Garrison is a victim
ef a lack of teaching of self-control.
Vsually most of the outburst of emo
tionalism is from women over men
murderers, but apparently in this case
It prevails among the men employed
at the courthouse."
Discrimination la Opposed.
Mrs. Bonnar said: "I see no reason
why such favors should be shown to
Bliss Garrison. If she is permitted spe
cial liberties, why should not the
other womea in the Jail be accorded the
same? I know, and we all know, that
conditions In the Jail are unsanitary
and in many ways everything but
w hat they should be. bin other women
are Incarcerated there and for offenses
Jess severe than murder."
It was to such protests as these that
Sheriff Stringer answered; "Simply
bowl, cheap clatter."
"These very persons are always the
first to come around with a kick about
putting boy prisoners in a cell in the
Jail with other prisoners. If it was a
boy and not a young woman they
would have been after me at once to
transfer him. I can't make It out un
less it is an effort to get into the lime
light, to get cheap publicity."

GOLD HTT.T., Or.. March. 23. (Spe
cial.) The conflicting reports from
various sources regarding the escape
of "Red" Rupert and Jack Harding
from the prison camp of trie state lime
plant near Gold Hill have left many
things unexplained and have created
the impression that Superintendent
C W. Courtney of the plant has been
lax in his duties.
The robbing of Wes Lewis, a prisoner
in the camp, of $50 while going from
Gold Hill to the camp y three masked
highwaymen occurred about 8 o clock
Saturday evening before the arrival on
the Sunday afternoon train of Warden
Stevens and Parole Officer Keller witn
the prison guards and bloodhound
The superintendent, an hour after the
reported holdup, took the matter In
hand and accused Rupert, Harding and
Grove Miller, another prisoner who
failed to get away, of committing the
robbery. Their guilt was corroborated
by another prisoner who told the
superintendent he had overheard the
trio making plans for tho robbery and
for escape during the day.
Warden Stevens Sent For.
The superintendent having full
knowledge of the unrest among the
prisoners, due to the fact that they
knew their stay was short at the
came In accordance with the recently
enacted law dispensing with convict
labor at the plant, held the theory that
the robbery was tho forerunner ot an
attempt to escape. He put on an extra
guard for the night and immediately
wired Warden Stevens at the peniten
tiary the condition of affairs. This ac
counts for the unheralded arrival
the next day of the warden and his as
sistants: they had in mind locating the
guilty highwaymen with the blood
hound. This upset the plans among the pris
oners to escape. That local parties
were instrumental in "Red" Rupert's
escape, is evidenced by the arrival of
an auto near the camp after Warden
Stevens reached Gold Hill, making this
known to Rupert. It is believed Ru
pert escaped by auto to Grants Pass
and made his way over the Siskiyou
mountains at the headwaters of the
Applegate. If not he is being taken
caro of by friends in this vicinity.
awaiting an opportune time to get out
ot the state.
Prison Officials In Cfcarse.
The superintendent turned over all
nrisoners to the penitentiary officials
Just before the departure of the even
ing train for Salem and before "Red"
escaped, excepting Harding, who was
in the camp not over lu minutes oeiore
the delivery, when the alarm was given
of hlB disappearance. Harding hoping
to join "Red" later took to the hills.
Since his capture In a neighboring
barn ho says he lay in a ditch less
than a quarter of mile from the camp
hen the convicts were leaving me
camp for the evening train.
The suspension or operations at me
plant, which was running at full ca
pacity, has left Superintendent Court
ney with orders for 600 tons of fer
tiliser for immediate delivery unfilled
and further orders coming In daily.

E at Oregon City. The "Miner Girls" were scheduled to appear at Salem, Or., today, but the grocers of Oregon E
E City were so pleased with the results of their work that they insisted upon three days more. Salem merchants E

E The "Miner Girls" are an organization of accomplished and highly educated young ladies traveling in EE

E the states they are affiliated with the "Carnation Girls." Their purpose is to demonstrate the superior value E
of cereals as a food in the daily, diet, with particular reference to their own hrands of Oats, Pearls of Wheat, E
E Flapjack Flour, and others. They are backed by an organization now composed of ninety-five, all American E
Ej stockholders, and two thousand employes, many of whom are returned soldiers. This, together with the unsur- E
E passed quality of their brands, has made it possible foe the "Miner Girls," wherever they have been, to greatly E
EE increase the use of cereal foods. Their 1919 sales so far are almost double that of 1918. EE

The Shame of the Nation
WILL die soon. Will you accept my body for dissecting- in ex-
fj change for some immediate aid?" So wrote a starving" preacher,
to a medical school. For more than fifty years he had labored
day and night to make men better citizens, and this was his reward from
you. You who are supposed to have the ideals that saved the world at
war, do you think this exaggeration? It is but a fraction of the truth.
Tnere are thousands of preachers in this, your country, too old and ill to
work, who are penniless. Christianity founded this country. Its preach
ers pioneered the plains. It is the basis of this greatest republic. It is
your insurance of progressive peace. The churches are an economic
investment because
They keep men fit for their work; edu
cate them to the responsibilities of their
work; give them a love of law and order.
You pension the faithful worker, will you pension the preacher who has
made the worker faithful? Invest in the church and be paid in industrial
progress. It's not your tears, but your dues, that are needed, and needed
now. This is not time for doubt and delay. Get the facts from the busi
ness men who are backing this great movement. Write today to
