STATE FUNOS STILL LURE
BOLT AT CAPITOL TA5IPERED
WITH, SAYS CASHIER.
Belief Is That Safecrackers Yet Seek
AVay to Get to Point Near Vault,
i
so They May Work.
SALEM, Or., May 19. (Special.)
Evidence that safe crackers were till
contemplating an attack on the valut
of the state treasurer's office, notwith
standing the advertising the whole
subject has received, was uncovered to
day when Lester Davis, cashier in the
office, said he had discovered that a
heavy bolt to a door in the capitol
basement, directly beneath the treas
urer's office, has been tampered with
recently.
In making his rounds this morning
after opening the office, Mr. Davis
came upon the loosened bolt, he de
clared. It had been left secure when
the office closed Saturday afternoon,
he said.
The door where the bolt had been
taken out leads to a door which gives
easy access to the upper part of the of
fice, near the vault, where currency
ind securities are held.
It would be but a few hours work
for safe crackers to cut their way
through the plastered wall which di
vides one side of the vault from the
main part of the office. The men
would likewise be out of sight and
hearing from the night watchman, and
would be able to work all night with
out fear of detection.
The loosened bolt was removed to
day and a heavy one substituted, which
will make it practically impossible for
yeggs to gain access to the building:
through the basement. The treasurer
also has removed practically all cur
rency and securities in the office to a
secret hiding place.

AL G. BARNES' CIRCUS IN TOWN
BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER
Leone Cass Baer Strives for Description, of Unparalleled Aggregation of
Talent From New Angle and Succeeds Admirably.
BY LEOXE CASS BAER. ,
A1
L G. BARNES' circus Is In town
bigger and better than ever," said
the city editor to me yesterday. "Bet
ter take a run out to the show grounds
at Twenty-fifth, and Raleigh and get
a story."
'What sort of a story?" I asked.
"Why not pick up some stray young
sters and cook up a story about It be
ing their first circus?" said the C. E.
"I did that one five years -ago," I
protested. "The kids all turned out to
be disguised plutocrats and had seen
more circuses than I ever had."
Well, take some old, nice lady or old
nice roan, and write a story of their
reminiscences, anecdotes of other cir
cus days, when they were young," said
the C. E.
"I did that four years ago," I voiced.
"Why not try a new angle seeing
the show from the performer's stand
point, interview the equestrienne, see
the girls sewing spangles in theii
dressing tents, chat with the chorus.
have lunch or dinner in the big mess
tent gee, that ought to jnake a good
story."
T did all that three years ago, I
sighed.
Well," said the C. E.. who is noth-'
Ing If not persistent, "see the man
ager or get hold of Al Barnes person
ally and get a etory on how the circus
folk travel, their life on the big train.
and the human side of the circus, where
they go when the season is over that's
a good idea."
ies, 1 said, "but you' had me do
that two years ago. when I went up to
Salem and came down to Portland with
the circus train."
"Why not take your niece and nephew
you're always raving about and tell
what they thought of the circus," said
the city editor at the end of Ideas.
"I did that last year," scz I. "There's
no new way to write about circuses.
When you've described the clowns, the
man-eating taggers and the lions from
the jungles, the pachyderms and pachy
dermesses, the blood-sweating behe
moth and the man who puts his head in
the lion's mouth, and the girls who
piroutte on the backs of prancing
steeds you've described 'em all."
"Wait a minute," said the city editor,
reflectively. "What you say may be
very true, but I've an idea. I wonder
if there ever was any truth to that
old story of the man who put his head
in the lion's mouth, and had his head
snapped off just above his collar
button."
"History does not vouch for It," 1
said, "but my mother knew a woman
who knew a man who saw the demon
stration. The lion swished his tail
so runs the account, and the man
cried out, 'Boys, is she lashing her
tail? 'Yes, groaned the boys. Then
'Good-bye,' said the victim, "I'm gone.'
Those were his last words, for the lion
bit off his perfectly good head."
"Personally." said the C. E., "I do
not believe the story, but why not go
out to the circus and see if it Is true,
and find out, as a matter of informa
tion, if there ever was anyone who
really did put his head in a lion's
mouth."
Armed with this mission, I wended
my way circusward and saw with my
own eyes Martha Florine, a slip of a
girl lion tamer, put her head In a
lion's mouth. The ancient anecdote
about the man who had his head bitten
E HAPPY, IS REPORT
WITNESSES IN ALIENATION CASE
TELL OP KISSES.
Events Previous to Kidnaping of
Mrs. Cole Are Reviewed at
S.t Helens Hearings.
ST. HELENS, Or., May 19. espe
cial.) The case of Robert Cole, who
is suing M. A Johnson and others for
$15,000 for the alienation of his wife's
affections, was resumed today. To
combat the cllegations that Mrs. Cole
had married Cole through fear of bidi
ly harm and threats he had made, wit
nesses were placed on the stand to
show the actions of the couple when
they returned to St. Helens after- their
short honeymoon trip. The hostess at
the house where the couple stayed
until the bride was kidnaped told how
affectionate Mrs. Cole was toward Mr.
Cole. That she sat on his lap and
kissed him often was an important
part of the testimony.
' Another witness told of directing the
bride's two brothers to the house where
Mrs. Cole was staying and of an earn
est conversation and the hurried de
parture of the bride. This was March
12, and although cold and rainy weath
er, the bride left the house without hat
er wraps and in company with,- her
brothers, one or whom held her by the
arm. Testimony of witnesses to the
marriage was introduced to the effect
that Miss Williamson went with the
bridegroom to the Multnomah county
courthouse to secure the marriage li
cense and then to the First Congrega
tional church, where the couple were
married, and there was no sign of fear
on her part.
The purpose of bringing out this
testimony seems to be to establish the
fact that Mrs. Cole was lured away
from her husband, as it was shown
that one of her brothers had been in
St. Helens the day previous to the kid
naping to get track of the couple. It
was established that after he had se
cured the desired information Johnson
and Mrs. Blackwell came to St. Helens
in a large touring car and took Mrs.
Cole back to Portland. The defense
has not as yet placed any witnesses on
the stand and it is probable several
days will be required to finish the case.
Mrs. Cole went on the stand late this
afternoon, entering a general denial to
the charges. She will be on the stand
when court resumes tomorrow.
SHIP BIDS CAUSE ARREST
SEATTLE MEN ACCUSED OF
FAKE STATEMENTS TO V. S.
Purpose Alleged to Have Been to
Obtain Contracts for Wooden
it Hull Building;.
SEATTLE, May 19. S. L. Cravens and
C. W. Scarf, president ami secretary.
respectively, of the Union Timber
Products company of Seattle, were ar
rested here today and later relased on
bonds following their indictment by the
federal grand jury on charges of con
spiring to defraud the United States
shipping board emergency neet cor
poration by making false statements
regarding the company in an attempt
to obtain contracts to build five wooden
steamships.
According to United States District
Attorney Robert W. Saunders, the in
dictment alleges the two men endeav
ored to obtain the contracts when they
knew their company could not build the
ships. .
The indictment recites that the Union
Timber Producta company and G. JK.
off, MIbs Florine says, in her attrac
tive broken French, isn't true, because
a man couldn't get his entire head up
to the neck into a lions mouth. :-art
of hees head, yes," and. so saying.
Martha Florine opened the ugly jaws
of the. huge st, ugliest, orneriest old
yellow king beast of the jungle, and
poked her pretty face Inquisitively into
his palate.
-Later, in the big iron cage which
makes up the center ring, the little
blonde Florine did It again, this time
for the thousands of applauding circus
hounds and patted the tawny old
brute Affectionately, possibly as a re
ward for his not taking a. bite of her
ear.
The circus this season Is really "big
ger and better." It opens with a ver
sion of Alice In Wonderland done over
to fit beautifully into a circus.
Alice, who is the little Florine. falls
asleep In a woodsy spot, and a flock of
chiffon-clad fairies steal In to dance
about her couch. Then from every
corner of her dream world astonishing
people and wild animals appear, and, lol
and behold, we really see them while
Alice only dreams them.
In parade and pageant the elephants,
goats, pigs, llamas, bears, tigers, lions,
pumas, leopards, sacred oxen, beautiful
horses, ostriches, monkeys and seals
wind in and out of Alice's story to our
everlasting joy and education. Then
they fade away and Alice awakens and
rushes away to her home.
A lovely prima donna sings atop a
huge elephant, and a king sings, to",
from his throne these are a part of
Alice's dream. Mabel Stark, who is
perfectly at home in a lair of tigers,
presided over an exhibition which was,
to say the least, electrifying, in which
she reduced to submission, nay, even
fawning devotion, a pack of wild tag
gers. For sheer devisltry commend to
me a tagger.
Margaret Riccardo rode a horse, and
a million pigeons camo flying from
everywhere to settle on her and her
steed the while she sang, and it made
a mighty pretty picture.
Margaret also put a flock of pan
thers through their paces, and Chloe
Webber and a smart Captain Stonewall
bossed a mess of mean lions Into sub
jection and fancy tricks.
Charles Berry and Bpb Thornton spe
cialize in leopards, and they can have
my share.
The horses are lovely and look pol
ished and plump and happy. There's i
big lot of them." Austin King, Joe Mil
ler and Bert Dennis are the wizards
who put the horses through their smart
tricks and fancy stepping. One gay
steed did a jazz step around the ring
that provoked wildest applause.
A crew of clowns with new ideas and
Improved elderly ones, donkeys and
dogs and ponies, excellent equestri
ennes and zebras and bears, add nov
eltry. A set of llamas went through
an amazing turn. I didn't know llamas
could do anything but furnish hair to
make shawls for South Americans.
A mess of performing seals are abso
lutely wonderful. A big old elephant
carried a wee baby pony around the
ring on his trunk. A lion rode clear
to the top of the tent with Mabel
Stark, while fireworks scattered madlj
about his peaceful person, and Martha
Florine does put her pretty head in a
lion's mouth.
P. S. There's another big parade this
morning and a show this afternoon and
one tonight.
Scarf and S. L. Cravens, its secretary
treasurer and president, respectively,
did on April 16, 1917, and continuously
to the date of the indictment, conspire,
to defraud the United States. ,
It Is alleged that the purpose of the
conspiracy was to obtain a government
contract for the construction of six
wooden hulls by the Union Timber
Products company at a price of $300.
000 each on their delivery at Charles
ton, Wash., at various dates extending
to September 15, 1918.
It is further alleged that the first 10
per sent of the contract price would
have been paid to the defendants with
in 30 days after the contract was made,
had that instrument been drawn.
The indictment also recites that the
defendants falsely represented that
they owned a shipyard, sawmill, timber
close to salt water, logging camps, ma
chinery shops, and had a force of men
employed, all of which, the indictment
declares, was false.
It is also alleged that one of the
defendants. C. W. Scarf, caused a
financial statement to be made in
writing and presented to the emer
gency fleet corporation, reciting that
the Union Timber Products company,
on July 11, 1917, owned property val
ued at $373,000; that it had '$75,000 in
untouched assets in the Bremerton
Union Trust company's bank: that one
of the stockholders, C. E. Evans, was
worth J 160,000; Cravens was worth
$140,000 and that Scarf was worth $216.
000, all of which, the indictment says,
is false.
To carry out the conspiracy, accord
ing to the Indictment, Scarf and Crav
ens negotiated with machinery com
panies in Seattle and Portland for the
purchase of shipbuilding machinery,
asking that the machinery be delivered
to them with signed receipts for pay
ment in full, when, according to tho
Indictment, no payments were made
except to give notes secured by condi
tional bills of sale.
Some machinery was obtained in this
manner, according to the indictment.

BEND, Or., May 19. (Special.) Of
fering to provide a natural park for the
people of Bend and Deschutes county.
Supervisor N. G. Jacobson of the De

FARMER'S SUCCESS TOLD
Benton County Man Clears $18,300
From Poultry Ranch.
CORVALLIS. Or.. May 1J. (Special.)
The current issue of an eastern mag
azine contains an article by Professor
Dryden. of Oregon Agricultural college,
in which is detailed the history of a
Benton county farmer, Jess Hanson,
who cleared $18,300 in four years from
chickens. Mr. Hanson started his work
with a capital of only $1000.
All the figures are given as to cost
of production and the net earnings at
the present time shop the above re
markable result. To accomplish this
feat Mr. Hanson cold poultry products
to the value of $10,2ti5.
Why not shade your back porch with
a screen of lima beans? The crop may
surprise you.
To the. Public:
We have not had nor do we wish to Jiave any
controversy with the legitimate members of
any union.
But we do not propose to turn our meat markets over to
the Bolshevik leaders of this community. They have tem
porarily gained control of the unions, and their policy is
not to work in the interest of the real laboring man, but to
eventually destroy him as well as to destroy legitimate bus
iness, ours included.
The people of this country are having laid before them
daily newspaper accounts of the awful havoc which the
Lenines and the Trotzkys are raising in Europe, where they
do not hesitate to destroy, the lives of those opposed to their
anarchistic form of government as well as to wantonly mur
der innocent men, women and children in order that their
bloody revolution can be carried to the point of destroying
nations.
If we surrender our Americanism to the local represen
tatives of the revolutionists of Russia, the war which they
arc waging on us without reason will not end, but on the
contrary every legitimate business in Portland and the en
tire Pacific Coast will be subject to their .vicious attacks.
It is for that reason that we appeal to the people of Port
land, the real Americans who love their country and who
wish to see their republican form of government live and
prosper, to stand hack of us.
We will stand back of them in their efforts to
bring about and end the Bolshevik rule in
this fair city.
We repeat that we are not fighting the
union man the real worker.
When we employ a man we do not ask
him if he is a union man or a non-union
man. All we insist upon is that he be 100
per cent American, and it seems to be for
that reason and that reason only that"
Portland Bolsheviki are directing their
attacks upon us. They think that if they
can make us capitulate, they, can continue
their work of destruction until they have
every business house at their mercy.

To AH Merchants of Portland
who are hesitating about standing back of us we can only say that they are being used
as tools by -Bolsheviki leaders, who stand ready to destroy them as they are seeking to
destroy us. If they will only realize this fact and stand shoulder to shoulder with us in
this unjust and unfair attack, Portland will be cleaned up of its undesirable element.
Mayor Hanson of Seattle who has made himself one of the most popular men in
America by stamping out Bolshevikism in that city, is a shining example for real Amer
