TIIE MORNING OKEGOMAX, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1920 1 KILLED, 1 WOUNDED 2 10 L HALL FRAY POO Russian Surrenders After Shooting Companions. TAUNTS GIVEN AS CAUSE George Gameoff Slain and Zarey Sashieff Badly Wounded Paul Vandatta Runs Amuck. George Gameoff, 349 East Eighth street, was instantly killed and a companton, Zarey- Sashieff, room 5 Pacific hotel, was probably fatally, wounded as the result of a shooting escapade yesterday at 12:15 P M. in the poolroom of Paul Vandatta at 287 Y First street. Immediately after the shooting Sabo Sabeiff, who stayed at First and Madison streets, gave himself up at the sheriffs office. In statements to Deputy Sheriff Christofferpon and Deputy District Attorney Hammersley, Sabeiff was said to have freely admitted the shooting, declaring he did it because the two men had been annoying him for some time with declarations of what they were going to do with him. Crowd Sees Shooting. When the shooting occurred the poolroom and the fruit stand in front were crowded. Sabeiff was said to have whipped the automatic pistol from a pocket when a remark was made by one of the two men. The first shot passed through the head of Gameoff. who was playing at one of the tables, bringing him to the floor. Sabeiff then wheeled and sent a hail of shots at Sashieff. who was sitting in the corner, i Three of the shots took effect in the man's body, one penetrating the kidney, another the chest and a third the shoulder. Sabeiff then ran out of the place, the smoking automatic still in his hand, and made his way immediately to the courthouse. Killing la Admitted. 'Here, 'take this gun; I've just killed two men." he was said to have de clared when he walked into the tax department and addressed Charles Richmond, deputy tax collector. Sa beiff was then taken into the criminal department of the sheriff's office. When the news of the shooting was received at police station Inspectors Schulpuis and Coleman were rushed to the scene. The body of Gameoff was turned over to Deputy Coroner Goetsch and the wounded man was sent to St. Vincent's hospital. An inquest will he held tonight, Deputy Coroner Goetsch announced. The police last night said a charge of second-degree murder will be filed against Sabeiff, who isr- 22 years of age. "I did the shooting but I am sorry of it now," Sabeiff was said to have declared. He also said he did not in tend to kill Gameoff as the other man was the one against whom he held the greatest animosity. All Are RnsNlann. The two victims of the shooting and Sabeiff are all Russians and single men. Sabeiff said he was a Russian Cossack. They had been work ing at various laboring jobs about the city. Gameoff was 21 years of age and Sabeiff is about 25. Sabeiff said he had been in this country since 1914. The authorities got in touch with a cousin of Gameoff living in Se attle. He will come to this city im mediately. The poolhall was said to have been crowded at the time and the marks of no less than four stray bullets were found in the walls. John Sari- koff, who did not give his address, reported to Patrolman Mallon that he received a , bullet through his hat. One man who was in the poolroom .t the time said that he saw the first shot fired, but after that he saw noth Ing as he was lying flat on his face on the floor.

In this picture she wears a rubber suit which is inflated to give her the appearance of exceeding fatness: the reason being that she is "the ' slim princess" in the land of Morovenia, where beauty and "heft" are considered synonymous. The process of pumping up the rub ber suit, with a good sized force pump, had just been completed and the film ing of the scene had begun when, in an - adjoining set where they were filming a jail-breaking scene a rifle shot was fired. Well, Miss Normand was working under high pressure literally and the rifle shot did sound like a blow out, to which rubber suits are no less liable than auto tires. So it was not strange that when that rifle banged she jumped and an expression came over her face which made those who saw it howl with laugnter. 9-r-m -:4w . 1 naw)wnww mum ntwr- i" i Hf'" l"mnn ung it -fT cyf - L r -v;? it fwV ' ;J Al'i -H - ' I ; KLA ' L r V ft f.cr T' C : yHV unselfish relinquishment of; the greatest hope a man has. simply because he will not let hrs own love spoil the romance of his dearest friend, gives a tremen dous heart appeal to "Overland Red," the Universal production starring Harry Carey, which comes to the Star theater tomorrow. The picture is replete with the thrill, the excitement and the beauty of desert life in western America. There is the same spectacular horse manship, the lightning gun-play and the droll humor that has character- zed Harry Carey'e former pictures. Overland Red, ployed by the star himself, and Collie, a boy he had be friended, discover the location of a valuable mine. They are only tramps. A dishonest sheriff tries to get the information from them. ' A girl comes into their lives, a girl with whom Collie falls in love. Red does too, but he never lets on, for he would not mar the happiness of his friend and the girl. There is a stirring climax to the picture when Red avenges , the das tardly act of the sheriff who haa shot Collie in the back. The subtlety with which Red's final sacrifice is brought out gives a tender conclu sion to the picture: Screen Gossip. Coffee week is being celebrated in several Portland first and second run houses with a special coffee film. Tie picture was made by the industrial and educational department of Uni versal.

Thoroughly Investigated.. Strong evidence that prospective di vorcees are not willing to present their cases' to Presiding Judge Mc Court and are going elsewhere in the state to file their complaints," is ehown in the greatly decreased number of suits in this county. Figures compiled yesterday by Dep uty County Clerk Buchtel show that for the first three months of thia year, 311 divorce suits have been filed in Multnomah county, this . being a decrease of more than 25 per cent as compared with the last quarter of 1919. : Since he became presiding - judge of this district on , the -first of the year. Judge McCourt has demanded that all litigants have genuine cause before they are given decrees. In sev eral instances he has detected strong evidence of fraud or collusion and has thrown out many default cases. A year ago Portland was becoming known as the Mecca for persons throughout the state seeking divorce, because of the ease with which de crees could be procured. Judge Mc Court, - however, has established a policy of having all questionable cases thoroughly ' investigated and many who have sought marital freedom have learned to their sorrow that the amiability of the Portland divorce courts is a thing of the past. One attorney who deals largely in divorce, said yesterday he is now tak ing all his cases either . to Oregon City or St. Helens because of the at titude of Judge McCourt. Divorce suits during February totaled exactly 100. The number filed during March was just 93.
