Warrv Oold.stein. proprietor of

3 7. They were found at 421 East
Morrison street. Lieutenant or ve-
tf-ctives Pat Moloney said last night
that no charges would be placed
acainst the girls..
A stroke of good fortune on the
part of Detective Bob La Salle started
the investigation. He was driving to
work from his home at Multnomah
yesterday over the TerwiHiger boule
vard when he discovered an automo
bile which had been wrecked and
overturned near the Slavin road
More than 40 pairs of shoes had been
scattered in all directions.
Detective La Salle, taking the num
ber of the car, started an Investiga
tion. The machine had been rented
from the Smith Auto company by
Mable Lourv.
Later it was learned that,- a dry
goods store in Hillsboro had been
robbed the preceding night of a large
quantity of shoes and clothing.
Mabel Loury was said to have ad
mitted that she obtained the automo
bile and drove to Hillsboro. She
denied, however, participating in the
. burglary.
Other Girl Is Innocent.
The other girl proved to be inno
' cent of any connection With burg
' larv.
Among the burglaries which Kelly
Is said to have been connected with
was that of Morton's jewelry store,
at Grand avenue and East Morrison,
on the night of March 1, when about
t&OO in jewelry was taken. The win
dow of the store was broken.
He may also be connected with the
burglaries of the homes of H. A.
Rail in 14 V.ast (luk strfeL and A. C.
?Peel. 101 East Sixteenth street, both
occurring last Sunday night. A large
, quantity of silverware, some money,
war savings stamps and clothing was
taken from the home of Mr. Ball in.
The loot from the Peel residence con
sisted chiefly of clothing.
Many Robberies on List.
The following is a partial list of
the burglaries alleged to have cleared
up by the arrests: Home, of Janie
Thomas. 701 East Taylor street; home
. of H. Ballin, 614 East Oak street;
home of Dr. West, 419 East Forty-
merman, 681 Belmont street; home of
J. S. Anudson. 475 Vancouver avenue;
home oX W. Commons, 556 East Alder
etreet: home of D. Dohn, 585 East
Salmon street; home of M. G. Maddox,
792 Belmont street, and a house on
Hawthorne avenue whose owner the
police have not yet been able to dis
cover, and the home of Mrs. Angeline
Berry, 600 East Oak street: jewelry
etore at 412 East Burnside street;
. store at Third and Ankeny streets,
and the home of Mrs. John Waggle,
2500 Bridge street, Vancouver, Wash.
Loot Worth $1000 Recovered.
The arrest of the alleged "fences"
who are charged with buying the
stolen roods from the burglars is con
sidered by the police to be of far
more importance than the capture of
the ollee-erf tmre-lars. Lieutenant Goltz
said last night that the discoveries
made so far would result in a sweep
ing investigation of the pawnshop dis
trict and that more pawn brokers
might be involved. '
The alleged stolen goods recovered
yesterday have a value of approxi
mately 1000 and represent a part of
thousands of dollars' worth of loot
stolen from homes and stores through
out the city. The police said they
probably cannot connect the alleged
burglars arrested yesterday with some
of the recovered goods and intimated
that purchases by the alleged "fences"
covered a period of many months.
Other Suspects Caught.
John O'Connor and Fred Gaynor,
who were arrested by Detectives Col
lins and Coleman in connection with
the alleged theft of a quantity of
clothing and travelers' checks and
other articles from a camp near Sco-J
field in Washington county, were
taken back to Hillsboro last night
by Sheriff George Alexander.
Fred Silva and Frank Ward were
arrested at Third and Burnside
streets by Lieutenant of Detectives
Maloney and Kellaher and Patrolmen
Harms and Leisy yesterday and are
being held for investigation. They
had a quantity of keys in their posses
sion similar to those used, in picking
locks. They will probably be charged
with having burglar tools in their
possession, it was announced.

Newspaper Man and Writer First
Came Into Prominence Through
Articles in The Oregonian.
Paul De Laney. author of "The Toll
of. the Sands" and other successful
stories, and who is a former Portland
newspaper man, is in the city visiting
old friends for a few days. He is at
present and for several years back
has been a member of the editorial
staff of the Denver (Colo.) Post
newspaper.
In September,- 1899, Mr. De Laney,
who is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and
of an adventurous disposition, was in
the desert country of Lake county,
Oregon, and found the coi.ditions
ideal among pioneer folk who then
practically lived amid '"wild west"
life, for story writing. In and around
Ls Review, Or., Mr. De" Laney found
that he and his friends were 175
miles from railroad connections, and
that pecplc on the outside knew little
about life in Lakeview country with
its long stretcnes of sand, extreme
heat in summer, sparse population,
and possibilities for homes for thou
sands of settlers. He embodied these
experiences in a series of stories to
The Oregonian, and their publication
aroused widespread interest. The late
Harvey. W. Scott, editor-in-chiet ot
The Oregonian, sent word to Mr. De
Laney to come to this city.
In consequence. The Oregonian en
gaged Mr. De Laney to write articles
on settlement prosrects for newcom
ers, in Harney, Malheur and other
neighboring counties of Oregon.
Mounted on his trusty bicycle, Mr. De
Laney rode over the country to which
he was assigned, and soon was famil
iar with it, especially around Klam
ath Lake. He also wrote articles on
the Lake county district for the Port
land Telegram. .
In 1905 Mr. De Laney left Oregon
to work for the Denver Post and re
mained with it until the gold excite
ment grew around Death Valley and
other Nevada points.
Once, accompanied by an Indian, he
walked through Death Valley when
it was 137 in the shade, and evaded
the terrific heat by walking only at
night. His stories of the new Nevada
gold fields were written for and pub
lished by a syndicate of American
newspapers. Mr. De Laney remained
n the Death Valley country for one
nd a half years, and then resumed
his duties in Denver.
Mr. De Laney is here In the inter
est of his newest story of the Nevada
desert, "The Toll of the Sands," a
plendid novel that was reviewed in
The Oregonian of February 29. Mr.
De Laney says that he is enjoying
is first real vacation for a long

OREGONIAN NEWS BDREATT,
Washington, March 11. Champ Clark
is a candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination and he is not
a candidate. He is not to be active
in the race, but will hope for the
favor of the San Francisco convention
when the delegates from all over have
assembled.
The reason for his not entering the
race actively, after having practically
decided to go in, was explained .by
one or his friends today as being a
tear to attack the Wilson machine.
In glancing over the list of delegates
so far elected it dawned upon Clark
and his advisers that the San Fran
cisco convention is going to be in the
hands of federal office holders who
were appointed by Mr. Wilson. " Mr.
Wilson will dominate them.
An example of this frameup is
seen in Iowa where the delegation is
largely made up of federal office
holders and includes one official of
the democratic national committee.
The party machinery in more than
two thirds of the states is in the
hands of the federal office holders
and 'the national convention at San
Francisco will look like a conference
of postmasters; district attorneys,
United States marshals and internal
revenue collectors.

not to be primaries at all within the
common definition given to an in
stitution by which it was content
plated that the people should vote
directly upon their choice for the
presidency.
Primaries Look Like Caucus,
The" democratic primaries in most
of the states will be nothing more
than the old-fashioned caucus where
tne voters will merely select dele
gates. The delegates will go without
instruction to San Francisco to trade
about among themselves and be
manipulated just as it was in the old
days, which it has jeen the custom to
refer to as bygone and,, impossible of
return in this enlightened period.
An example of the method by which
tne primaries are being manipulated
it is pointed out by progressive dem
ocrats, is the MeAdoo letter sent to
two or three states giving virtually
peremptory orders to state leaders
that only uninstructed delegates
snouid De named.
Mr. McAdoo's letter is regarded as
a notice to the people to "lay off" the
selection of party candidates and to
leave it to their representative at the
convention, many of whom will be
unknown to the voters or members of
the federal machine.
With Clark not actively in the race,
this leaves but one fighting candi
date to oppose the Wilson-McAdoo
Palmer triumvirate, which will in the
end make one of themselves the nom
inee. The one independent candidate.
Governor Edwards of New Jersey, It
is said, may awaken some morning

has been stolen.
Edwards Plank Wet.
Governor Edwards has but one
plank in his platform and that is to
make "all of the United States as
wet as the Atlantic" .
Should Mr. Wilson suddenlv decide
to reveal a friendliness toward light
wines and beer the New Jersey gover
nor would find much of his strength
disappearing. It would not be the
greatest surprise in the world for Mr.
Wilson to do this, because he has
shown something more than mild wet
tendencies ever since he went to Eu-.
rope and mingled with the Bohemian
leaders of the old world's moist mon
archies.
The first evidence of the effect of
the association was a message to con
gress asking that the wartime ban on
wines and beer be lifted. The next
was the veto of the prohibition en
forcement act, which elected two
democratic eovernnrs rtna in Va.v.
land and one in New Jersey. The '
next was the appointment as secre
tary of the interior of John Barton
Payne, who declared that this govern
ment could never operate boozeless
passenger ships in competition with
the foreign vessels carrying large
stocks of hard liquors.
Colby Last Straw.
Then came the selection of Bain
bridge Colby, valiant and bitter foe of
the 19th amendment, as secretary of
state.. Of course, it is pointed out that
should Mr. Wilson decide upon this
course he will have to run himself

Palmer receives the credit gen
erally of being a sincere prohibitionist.

"The present financial situation is

FACULTY CHANGE MADE
Willamette Professor Resigns; Son
Becomes Successor.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem,
Or., March 11. (Special.) Professor
Delia Crowder Miller, head of the
public speaking department of Wil
lamettte university, has tendered .her
resignation because of ill health. The
resignation was accepted this morn
ing, to take effect immediately, and
Professor Miller's soni Orvllle Crowder
Miller, has been named her successor.
The new instructor is a graduate of
Boston School of Expression and was
head of a similar department at Elon
college. North Carolina, before com
ing to Willamette to assist in lorensic
work.
Professor Miller, who is well known
in Chautauqua work in Europe and
America, has been instrumental in in
creasing the popularity of the public
speaking work in Willamette, her
most notable performance since com
ing here having been the direction
of the big historical pageant on the
university campus last spring.-
Schoolroom propaganda against to
bacco in all its forms which may ulti
mately result in an attempt to legis
late smoking and chewing out of ex
istence, is now being carried on by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union throughout Multnomah county.
Although officials of the organiza
tion disclaim any attempted movement
lowara legal prohibition of tobacco,
the parents of many high school pu
pils who have been urged to compose
essays on the evil influences and ef
fects of the weed, are just a bit
dubious as to whether or not the agi
tation will remain within the walls of
the classrooms.
Unlike former contests carried on
by the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, the tobacco essay compe
tition is not confined to the classes
in physiology and hygiene, according
to Mrs. G. L. Bulan, the organization's
superintendent, in charge of the con
test.
"It is open to all pupils in all high
schools and the grading is being done
by the English teachers," said she.
"The parent-teacher " circles are co
operating with our organization in
carrying on the work, and both blue
ribbons and cash prizes will be award
ed to the winners'
Superintendent Grout of the Port
land public schools was not aware of
the widespread scope of the campaign
In the schools.
"So far as I know It is nothing
more than the annual essay contests
which the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union carries on among the pu
pils of the physiology and hygiene
classes," he said. "I know of no con
test which includes the pupils of all
schools."
Great Interest Being Manifested.
School Directors Thomas and Plum
mer were equally in the dark concern
ing the nature of the essay contest.
They, too, understood that it was
nothing more than an affair of these
classes of the schools. But every
student in every high school in Port
land Is eligible to enter, and accord- i
ing to Mrs. Buland great interest is
being manifested.
The contest is being given under
the official heading of the "Health
Conservation Prize Essay Contest of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union," but the four subjects on which
high school pupils may write deal
solely with the tobacco habit. Here
are the four subjects as given out
yesterday by Mrs. Buland:
"Our Tobacco Bill," "Tobacco and
Fire Insurance," "Tobacco and In
dustry, Tobacco and Efficiency.'
The students are given no other sub
ject in this health conservation con
test, and one high school youth who
was daring enough to ask his teacher
if he could write an essay favorable
to tobacco ws warned that if he did
so ne neea noi expect a gooa rating.
The same general contest Is being
carried on in the grade schools as
well, but in these lower classes, the
cigarette evil is the principal essay
topic.
Mrs. Buland explained that the
schools will furnish the blue rib
bons for the prize . winners, while
the Women's Christian Temperance
union will donate the cash prizes.
The parent-teacher circles have
agreed to arrange entertainments at
which the prize essays will be read,
and in this way the schoolboy and
schoolgirl arguments against the use
of tobacco will receive the' widest
possible publicity. .
Pupils Look Up References.
That the contest is having an ef
fect on the libraries is indicated in
a report bu omit tea to the library
board by Miss Mary Frances Isom,
librarian. In which it was shown that
a special call is being made on the
library branches by students who are
looking up numerous reference books
on tobacco. The Women's Christian
Temperance union also has a large
quantity of literature against to
bacco at its general headquarters.
Evanston, 111., where pupils may
write for any information they may
desire.
The state library, under Miss Cor
nelia Marvin, is likewise procuring
an ample supply of anti-tobacco lit
erature which can be obtained by the
high school students, recording to
Mrs. Buland, and no effort Is being
spared in getting every possible fact
which might be used as an argument
against tobacco In the possession of
high school students.
However, this contest, although
much wider in scope than ever be
fore, is not being conducted for the
purpose - of encouraging legislation
against tobacco," is the assurance
of Mrs. Buland.
And yet, at the same time, the man
who swears allegiance to the pipe,
cigar or cigarette Is beginning to
wonder what it is all about.

The "Milled-in-Oil" Tooth Cleanaer
Removes the Causes of Pyorrhea
Pyorrhea is the RESULT of soft gums
and unclean teeth. Chlorox not only re
moves tartar and all impurities deposited
on the teeth, but massages gums to
healthy hardness; thus it prevents
Pyorrhea.
Chlorox contains no soap or prit. It pro
tects delicate tooth enamel from injury and
restores the natural beauty of healthy teeth
without injury to tooth structure. The
secret of Chlorox effectiveness is the process
of "milling-in-oil." Ask your druggist for
the "Milled-in-Oil" Tooth Cleanser in the
blue and white checkered tube.
Chlorox ia Sold Everywhere.
