TWO SUSPECTS HELD
' FOR SCOTT MURDER
Pair Taken in Lodging House
by Police.
PISTOL MAY BE CLEW
Thomas Young, ex-Convict, and
CJeorge Brown Admit Being in
.Seattle at Time.
Two suspects whom police detec
tives and Seattle officials believe may
have been Implicated in the murder
of Uobert C. Scott. ex-Portland de
tective, at Seattle early Sunday moin
Ing were arrested in Portland early
latst nixht and are heinsr held incoiu
Jmunieado at the city jail.
The two mm are Thomas Touns,
accd an ex-convict from San Quen
tin prison. California, and George
Brwn. aged 28. believed to be an ex
pert yoRg They were arrested at the
Berkeley rooming house. Third and
Taylor streets.
Upon information received by 'him
at Seattle. Sheriff Stringer of Seattle,
accompanied by Deputies Hughes,
I'.eebe and Vaughn, arrived in Port
land early yesterday and enlisted the
aid of the Portland police detectives
In a close search of all rooming
houses and hauirts of drug addicts.
The two men under arrest were lo
cated at the Herkeley rooming house
and the man Brown answers In most
particulars the description of the ban
dit who murdered Deputy Sheriff
.Scott during the early hours of last
Sunday morning.
Search Reveals Evidence.
A Seattle deputy first made a
eearch of the room occupied by Young
and Brown during their absence and
uncovered sufficient evidence to jus
tify the police in making an immedi
ate arrest.
Police Inspectors La galle, Swennes.
McCulloch and Schulpius took up the
search at this point and waited in the
room for the two men.
When Brown and Young returned to
their room they were met with the
command, "Hands up" from the four
detectives, who had the pair covered
with guns as soon as they entered
the door. Brown reached for his own
gun, but when Schulpius threatened
to shoot if he made another move, he
put his hands aloft and submitted to
arrest.
v Sheriff, Stringer and his three dep
uties went at once to police head
quarters to examine the two suspects.
The three deputies were with Scott
when he was murdered. The deputies
said that Brown answrs in a general
way the description of the bandit
whom they surprised in the series of
automobile holdups near Seattle the
night Soott was murdered, but they
did not get an opportunity to have a
good look at the bandits at the time
or the murder.
Two Witnrnnr Summoned.
In order to make the identification
certain one way or another. Sheriff
Stringer last night telegraphed to Se
atiie lor two witnesses to coine to
Portland this morning ' to examine
the two men Under arrest.
Scott was murdered with a 41-ea
ber revolver of a type and style which
went out of existence several years
ago. i ne older man, ioung, was
carrying a revolver of this exact
type when he was arrested here last
night. Bullets of the same manu
facture and character which were.
used In killing Scott were found on
the men arrested in Portland.
Sheriff Stringer likewise tele
graphed to Seattle last night for pho
tographs of the shells and bullets
used by the bandit who murdered
Scott. Tests were made with the
gun taken from Clark last night and
Photographs will be made this morn
ing of the bullets after being fired
and of the shells used in the firing
tests.
Shells May Be Clew.
Sheriff Stringer explained that
most guns, and especially old weap
ons, have some characteristic marks
which are generally observable on the
shells which have been fired. If the
empty shells from the gun used ii
murdering Scott show the same char
acteristics of the shells taken from
the suspects taken into custody last
night, the two men will be returned
to Seattle, it was said.
As they entered the room. Brown
was carrying a new burglar's "jim
my," which they evidently had taken
down town to have sharpened. The
"jimmy" was wrapped up in paper
as though it had just come from
some store. A complete outfit of
burglar's tools also was cached in
the room.
Two new suitcases and numerous
articles which the police believe may
be loot from other burglaries -were
among the effects of the two sus
pec.ts. They had only $50 or $60 be
tween them when arrested.
While being questioned at police
headquarters, Young told the detec
tives that had he been given a mo
mint's warning he would have sho
the first man he saw entering the
room.
'If you hadn't got the drop on me
you would never have taken me
ive," he is said to have boasted to
La Salle.
Young and Brown both admitted
they were in Seattle Saturday night,
ut refused to talk further concern-
ng their past conduct. Young ad
mitted he is out on parole from the
California prison, where he was serv-
ng a life term for the murder of a
San Francisco policeman.
According to his own statements to
the detectives. Young and his twin
brother murdered a policeman in San
rancisco in 1908. Young was sen-
enced to life imprisonment, but was
paroled last year, after serving 11
ears. Ills brother was sentenced to
rom ten years to life and was re
leased in 1918. He said his twin
brother is now in Seattle. Young is
nearly six feet tall and does not
answer the description of the bandit
who murdered Scott.
California Prlnon Notlfl-d.
Police detectives said last night
that California prison officials will be
avised at once of Young's arrest in
Portland, and if he is not returned to
Seattle in connection with the pres-
nt case, he will be returned to San
Quentin as a parole violator. Knowl-
dge that his freedom would be taken
from him led Young to boast after
his capture that he would have en
gaged the detectives in a gun fight
o death had he been given an oppor-
unity to use his gun.
loung also sail that Brown is
wanted for some serious offense, but
refused to reveal anything further
oncerning his partners past record.
Brown assumed a sullen and defiant
ttitude ind refused to answer aues-
ions put to him by his captors.
Murdered Depnty Hurled.
The murdereefdeputy. Robert Scott.
was burid yesterday in Multnomah
cemetery following funeral services
at Holman's chapel. Hundreds of
riends of the murdered detective at
tended the services and a massive
floral wreath was sent here by his
fellow deputies In Sheriff Stringer's
office at Seattle.
Sheriff Stringer spoke in glowine
ribute of the work performed bv
Scott, who had been employed by him
tnce early last fall in running down
ewelry robbers in the sound citv.
Prior to his going to Seattle. Scott
had been a special agent for District
Attorney Evans and the late Gov
ernor Withycombe in the ferreting
out of bootleggers throughout the
state.
He leaves a widow and two small
children, besides a father and brother,

Federal Authorities Search With
out Success for Still Intended to
Manufacture Hard Liquor.
A keg filled with fermenting rais
ins, hopefully watched by two or more
persons, may become the basis of a
conspiracy charged under the federal
prohibition act, as Gordon Warner of
Prineville learned yesterday when he
pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $200
n federal court.
Gordon Warner, with his father. J.
K. Warner, Floyd Warner and Charles
Kirschner. were arrested on the
charge of conspiring to make wine.
when federal officers found a ten
gallon keg of raisins seething merrily
n the basement of the Warner ranch
home, near Prineville.
This was several weeks ago. Kirsch
ner entered a ijea of guilty and was
fined $400. in Tiddition to 20 days in
jail. The elder Warner asserted
toutly that no harm was intended
and that home-made wine was to be
the product. The federal authorities
would not admit that even this was
lawful, and they searched for a sus
pected still,- without success, on the
tneory mat tne raisin mash was In
tended for "hard liquor."
The case of J. E. Warner and son
r loyd Warner, has been set for
April 23.

ing or passing through BuffaJo was
announced tonight after a conference
of officials of the seven railroads
whose yards were tied up today by a
strike of switchmen. Milk shipments
into the city will be continued and
passenger service will be maintained
as far as possible, it was said.
KANSAS CITY MEN TO GO OUT
Three Hundred Vote to Strike at
7 o 'Clock This Morning.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 7. Three
hundred switchmen representing every
railroad that enters Kansas City, to
night voted unanimously to strike at
7 o'clock tomorrow morning, it was
announced late tonight. Committees
were named to notify the remaining
members of the Brotherhood of Kail
way Switchmen, numbering 4000, of
the decision to strike.
No brotherhood officers were
present.
Kansas City Crew Quits.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 7. All
switching crews in the Kansas City
Southern yards here and part of those
in the Wabash yards struck tonight
in sympathy with the Chicago strike.
Wabash switchmen who left their
work said members of the late night
shift would not appear for work.
VOTERS CAN TAKE BURDEN
(Continued From First Page.)
this cannot be excused, for the burden
would be shifted from the company to
the city and the unpaid balance,
amounting to $470,000. would then be
paid from the public treasury and this
would be equivalent to a direct gift
from the treasury of such sum.
"Future street improvements, free
carriage of city employes, franchise
and license tax
"As to these last Hems there is some
doubt as to the legal competencr of
the city to excuse the company. Un
der the decisions of the supreme court
of Ohio the remission of these im
posts would be held unlawful. Our
Oregon supreme court, on the other
hand, we believe, would decide the
remission of such Imposts lawful if
the record in the case conclusively
showed that the imposition of .these
charges was either unfair or resulted
in some appreciable degree in increase
ing the burdens of the car patrons and
the prevention of adequate transpor
tation service."

Pre-eminent as a merchandising event! A distribution
of Tires and Tubes in a money-saving occasion without
an equal in the history of the Rubber Industry. Doubly
sensational is this sale because of the present high prices
for rubber, fabric and labor, all of which means that
another increase in the present prices of Tires and
Tubes is a foregone conclusion and that the increase
must become effective in the near future.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair
J
Girls it you want plenty of. thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for It will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve It, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of It.
Tou will flno, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp win stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid ar
von at any drug store. It is inexpen
sive and four ounces is all you will
need, no matter how much dandruff
I you have. This simple remedy never
fails. Adv.
