Positive identification of Dave Smith s the bandit who shot and killed N. J. Burgess and George Perringer, wealthy Pendleton land owner, at Claremont tavern Friday night? was made- yesterday by Lora Hastings, a clerk' at the Benson hotel, who was a member of the supper party. The identification of Smith was made doubly certain through careful detective work on the part of City Police Inspector Moloney, who fol lowed a clew given by Miss Hastings. tmui nis chain or circumstantial evi dence had been completely welded. "The man who did the - shooting wore a peculiarly shaped' stickpin, which ho used to fasten his coat to BCther," Miss Hastings told Moloney. T could never forget the shape or design of that pin if I ever saw it again." Peculiar Pin Identified. The detective then gathered from the effects of the three self-confessed bandits the several stickpins which were found on them when they were arrested Saturday afternoon. Taking these to the jail he asked Smith to Jiick ! out his pin from among the proup. Without hesitation Smith im mediately selected the pin of peculiar design. "This one Is mine," he told the de tective. Moloney then took the stickpins be fore Miss Hastings, and she wu Just as quick in picking out Smith's stick pin as had been the owner. "There can be no mistake; I am jnst ns positive that the man who did the hilling wore this stickpin as I am that I was there." she is said to have told the detective. This identification bears but the contention held by Richard Deich, deputy district attorney, who has con ducted the investigation of the case fcince the men were first captured at the home of Vincent Murphy, 163 West Emerson street. Mr. Deich said that the young woman also identified Smith as the slayer when she con fronted him yesterday. The other women with the Burgess supper party silso identified Smith as the -man who did the shooting. The three highwaymen were taken before Mr. Deich, Police Chief Jen kins. Detective Captain Circle and a number of inspectors, where each, in turn, dictated signed statements of the Claremont tavern holdup. These statements are, with a few minor changes, identical to the oral confes sions made by the trio Sunday night. Kach of the three continues to deny doing the shooting. James Ogle, first of the three to confess, infers that Smith is the man who did the shoot ing, while Smith, who insists h was not nresent when the snots were fired, seeks to connect Ogle with the actual murder. Murnhy'a Part Not Determined. As soon as the men had completed t,if siirned statements they -were taken in turn before the Multnomah muntv grand Jury, which laid aside its other work yesterday to give at- "tentlon to the double muroer. no grand jury's investigations are ex pected to be . finished today, after which it Is deemed certain that all three will be held for second degree Police detectives yesterday bent their efforts toward seeking to un fnfhnm the connection of Vincent Murnhv with the crowd of bandits lTom the coniessions 01 mo uira men held as principals in the Clare mont holdup and murder it is appar-1 ent they had free access to the Mur phy home at all hours, and it is likewise as certain that the Murphys had knowledge of the moonshine op erations of Harry Travers, who was arrested with the three bandits at the Uurphy home Saturday afternoon. Mayor Baker yesterday announced lie would go the limit in attempting to get the reward for the police de tectives and others who were respon sible for the arrest of the bandits. "I have asked Chief Jenkins to check carefully the names of the men who paiticipataed in the capture of the murderers." he said. "When he has recommended the men to whom credit Is due I shall take the proper steps to get the reward for them. "Nothing could be more discourag ing and so disheartening to police men who gave up their sleep and rest as to withhold this money from them. The public undoubtedly wanted these murderers caught. I do not believe 1 exceeded my authority when I took the responsibility of offering $1000 reward for the city, and if my col leagues on the commission will not assist In voting this sum I will go before the public and get it. I think officer should be encouraged in run ning the risks that they must run by a little material assistance such as this." 250 TEACHERS AT ALBANY l.inn Institute to Continue Today and Tomorrow.

Published Photograph of Clare mont Tavern Bandit Recognized by Eaat Side Victim. Evidence which tends to connect "Dutch" Herman, alias Walter Ban aster, one of the three highwaymen who perpetrated the Claremont tavern hold-up Saturday :' night, with rob beries committed on. , the east side lately was advanced yesterday in a statement made by Theodore Leaf, high school student who was robbed early ilonday morning, November 17. Leaf expresses the conviction that Herman was the man who held him up a. week ago. Leaf was accosted by a masked man with a gun about 12 A. L as he was n earing: his home. The robber re lieved him of $3.35, a fountain pen' and a silver pencil, but allowed Leaf to keep his watch when he protested that it belonged to his mother. Leaf was stopped at East Ninth and Skldmore. Miss M. A. FVies, usher at a - local theater, was held up two blocks away, 438 Going- street, at 1:40 A..-M. Mrs; J. O. Armstrong, 993 Mississippi avenue, was met with a demand for her money a few hours before, a Blanclenastreet and Albina avenue. In each case the robber wore a handkerchief over his face and car ried his gun in his left hand. "I am certain Herman is the man who held me up," stated Theodore Leaf yesterday. Arvltf Leaf, the stu dent's father, corroborated this state ment, as he had made a reconnaisance after Theodore Leaf reported his ex perience, and is now certain that he saw Herman in the vicinity. On see ing the photographs of the Claremont tavern robbers in The Sunday Orego nian both father and son identified Herman as the prowler whom they met on November 17. . Ill, W.

LANE GETS SCHOOL FUND $33,000 Being Placed in Hands ol County Treasurer. KIGEXE, Or., Nov. 24. (Special.) More than $33,000 of county school money is being placed in the- hands of the county treasurer by E. J. Moore, Lane county superintendent, to the credit of- the different school districts of the county. Each district gets S100 and in addition the sum of $1.50 for each pupil between the agres of 4 and 20 years in the districts. Under the new law the county treas urer is now the custodian of all school funds and instead of turning- the money over to the district clerks she handles it and pays it out on war rants. One advantage of this system is that each district gets the benefit of the interest on the daily balances in the bank. Immediate organization of ' a com mittee of public safety from the mem bership of the American Legion, to investigate police conditions and formulate a broad and comprehensive plan for public co-operation with of ficials in eliminating crime in Port land was recommended yesterday by the council of the civic leagues and clubs of this city. The suggestion was offered bv A. C. Newill, president of the Oregon Civic league, and received unanimous support from the heads of the H Qivic. organizations following a gen eral discussion of the need of action to check the crime wave which is now sweeping Portland. ..Increase in the quota of proposed n embership in the civilian reserve of the American Legion from 10,000 o &0.000 citizens is urged by the di rectors of the Portland Ad club who" met yesterday and discussed ' the Portland crime situation. This body aiso went on record in favor of a special session of the state legisla ture for the restoration of capital punishment. Lesion Ready For Action. The American Legion stands ready at all times to do all possible in co operating with public officials In eliminating crime," said Cassius R. Peck, commander of Portland post No. 1, American Legion. "For two months we have been at work organ izing the civilian reserve. We will welcome the assistance of civic bodies in the completion of this organiza tion. Jusl what steps the American Legion will take toward organiza tion of a public safety committee will be decided at Us meeting next Mon day night." Crime and the duty of the indi vidual to aid in its suppression is a subject wh ich is being discussed on all sides. Dr. G. H. Douglas,, presi dent of the Rotary club, said yester day that he would request members of that organization at noon today to suggest original ideas for public co-operation with law enforcement agencies. "The police force is to be congratu lated on its work in connection with the Claremont tragedy," said Dr. Douglas - yesterday. "The boys did splendid work. The public should follow by giving them solid support. The action of the league council in recommending a public safety com mittee from the membership of the American Legion is a good fcdea. Through such a committee we can not only obtain information as to the best plans to pursue but we will also get results. The Rotarians. I am sure, wHr'tak decisive steps today to join in the campaign to stamp out crime in Portland. Capital Punlaivmrnt l'rg:ed. " Storage of all valuables in safety -deposit vaults and the banking of all moTiey during banking hours ia the suggestion offered by Herman von Borstel, president of the Realty board. Mr. Von Borstel also urged restora tion of capital punishment and the extreme penalty for highway robbers convicted in court. He said: 4If every person in Portland would store his ' valuables and bank his money, carrying only sufficient change to pay car fare, the robbers would have no incentive to continue operations in Portland. Bandits and petty thieves are encouraged by the carelessness of the average citizen In leaving valuable personal property in unlocked houses where it can be picked up without difficulty." Immediate roundup of suspicious characters by the police and careful investigation of all persons not em ployed is suggested by Circuit Judge Gatens as an effective measure for the prevention of crime. Judge Gatens insists that if men are not working they are liable to get into trouble and if men refuse t,o work Judge Gatens believes they should be placed where they cannot harm society. General Clean-up Advocated. "Law and order must prevail," said Judge Gatens. "I believe a clean-up of suspicious characters in Portland should be made immediately, and every idle man be forced to give an accounting. Such a roundup would bring some crooks to the police head quarters' where the inspectors could determine whether they are members of a particularly dangerous element. "Quick action on the part of indi viduals frequently will prevent crime." said Mrs. R. K. Bondurant, prominent clubwoman who has been active in. child welfare work. "If the -people of Portland will be On the alert, ever watchful for action of the criminal element, much can be accomplished to keep the denizens of the underworld out of Portland,'' saia Mrs. Bondurant. "People should not only lock their doors when they leave their homes, but snouia aiso iuu . them when they are at home. Thieves often walk into a house which is oc cupied and pilfer without being de tected." Nicht Vis-luce Vrged. Strict enforcement of the after hour law is urged by Dr. Joshua Stansfield. pastor of the First Metho dist church, who believes that any person walking the streets aner me midnight hour is subject to suspicion and should be forced to explain his reason for being on the streets. tr. Stansfield favors the appointment of committee to formulate a aeiinite plan for public co-operation witn oin cials to curtail crime. Restoration of the capital pumsn ment law with the right of review of facts by the supreme court of the state is urged by John F. Logan, member of the state parole board. Mr. Logan also believes that any person who attempts to rob another person by the use of a deadly weapon should The epidemic of colds which is now sweeping the country has led health officials to start an educational cam paign showing the dangerous effects of violent sneezing in public. "Check your Sneezes" "Every pub lic snetfze is a public danger" "Think twice before sneezing once" are slogans which are being emphasized in the effort to check the epidemic and the results it threatens. A prominent feature of the cam paign is the education of the public to the necessity of treating every case of cold in the head promptly. If taken at once It is declared that sim ple treatment will give relief in a single night, and the patient can re main steadily at work. The treatment recommended for colds is a compound of Aspirin. Phenacetine. Quinine, Salol, Caffein Citrate, Cascara and Camphor Mono bromate. This is now offered the public under the name of Reid's Grip i ix.

The possession of a deadly weapon by a bandit or burglar, Mr. Logan as serts, is proof that .such a man is dan gerous to society. "In the present era the chance for a quick getaway from the scene of a crime by the use of an automobile." said Mr. . Logan, "in reality gives the bandit two valuable instruments, one the revolver and the other the auto mobile. To handle the situation stiff sentences are necessary for persons convicted, and realization on the part of every citizen that he has a duty to perform In co-operating with the of ficials is essential. Public Must Be Roused. "A committee of public safety would bring good results. The people should arise and insist that Portland be rid of all crooks and criminals and if the citizens by concerted action will evince the proper interest Portland can be made an undesirable place for criminals. Portland must arouse itself. Police officers cannot do all. Every law-abiding oitizen can help, and this help will bring the desired results." RED CROSS SHOP. IN NEED of Public Appealed to for. Gifts Clothing or Toys at Once. The Red Cross shop Is making an earnest appeal to Portland people to donate bundles of clothing, household goods, jardinieres, vases, toys or any thing that will enable the shop, which is at 70-72 Third street, to keep open its doors. Miss Helen Whitney, secretary of the shop, asks that those havins; bundles call the shop. Main 6689. when truck will be at once sent to call. 'The need is desperate." said Miss Whitney. "I wish I could impress on I'ortlanders how much we need do nations of goods. We are besieged by poor people for clolhlng, but we have to turn them away. It seems incredible that Portland people will let the shop close, especially when it has been contributing 91000 a month to the Red Cross." 1 . - ' .

Work at the prospect- well of the Portland syndicate at the Newman farm, nine miles south of this city. which has suffered many delays on ac count of difficulty in obtaining cas ing, is progressing under supervision of the contractor, George K.

Twelve-inch casing has been used, but this is now reduced to ten-inch- Gas was struck during the first few hundred feet and stronger flows of gas are in evidence as greater depth is attained. This prospect, in miners' parlance, is a dry hole, no water hav ing been encountered in its entire depth. EVERY AGE needs a generous diet of pure, wholesome milk. BABIES must have milk. They would die of mal-nutrition without it. There is no substitute for babies' diet. Growing CHILDREN need milk as fre quently and as plentifully as babies do. It supplies all the nourishment necessary for the proper development of teeth, flesh, bones, blood and brain. AGED men find milk palatable and easily assimilable, putting no heavy tax on the digestive organs. Milk has kept many an ageing body healthy and disease resistant. But MEN in the prime of life frequently overlook the value of milk as a tonic and a food.
