EUGENE, Or., April 13. (Special.)
A chapter of the Ladies' Loyal le
gion, auxiliary to the Loyal Legion of
TVolfsang Hagen, notorious German
stent who on the night of September
20, 191 S. made a sensational escape
from the Multnomah county jail, is
now aboard a vessel somewhere on
the Atlantic en route to Germany.
Authentic information of Hagen's
deportation to Germany, after a ca
reer of crime and conspiracy in this
country, was broughtto Portland by
It. P. P.onham, chief of the immigra
'tion service of this district, who re
turned yesterday morning from New
"Vork. Mr. Honham delivered Hagen
over to the immigration authorities
at the KUis Island deportation camp,
and a few days later he was put
aboard a vessel bound for Germany.
Hasen was the most dangerous of
six aliens who formed part of three
npecial carloads tken to KUis Island
this month from the northwest. Ac
companying Mr. Bonham were 11
other immigration officials, and 53
aliens were delivered over to the
lUlis Island authorities.
Masen Dangerous Crliulual.
Prior to the entrance of this coun
try into the war, Hagen had em
barked on a criminal career and he
was arrested many times for bur
glaries. He was serving a term in
the Oregon state prison when war
was declared. He entered this coun
try as a subject of Sweden, but in
vestigation by immigration authori
ties after his release developed that
he Is a citizen of Germany, and was
working as a German agent during
the sarly months of the war. He was
then rearrested by immigration au
thorities but was kept in the Mult
nomah county jail because he was
considered too dangerous for one of
the federal interment camps.
Late at night he sawed the bars
of his cell in the county jail, and then
sawed the bars to a window in the
corridor. By crawling out on a nar
row ledge, seven stories above the
street, he made his perilous way from
the west to the south wing of the
courthouse and broke through a win
dow of -the seventh floor. He then
unwound a fire hose on that floor,
and breaking open the iron doors of
an empty elevator shaft, he tied the
fire! hose to the rafters and crawled
down the hose to the floors below,
and made his escape into the street.
It was the most sensational jail
break, ever effected In Multnomah
county.
He was arrested several months
later In a small town in southern
California where he was living un
der an alias, but before local federal
authorities could get trace of him he
was released. More than a year later
he was rearrested near San Francisco
while participating in a burglary and
was then returned to Portland. He
has been confined in the county jail
here until taken to Ellis Island two
weeks ago.
Two Canadinnn Deported.
P. B. Woods, a former Canadian
Judge, but more recently a real es
tate swindler In the Willamette val
ley, left last night for Victoria. B. C,
in custodv of immigration officials
Orders for his deportation were re
ceived from Washington the first of
the week and he was taken at once to
Canada. Woods recently completed
, a sentence in the Oregon state peni
tentarv as a result of a real , estate
windle nca'r Salem.
Another Canadian citizen taken
north for deportation last night was
Leon CaniKUsa, noted bootlegger, who
mulcted prominent Portland resi
dents out of more than $3000 by re
reiving advances on fake orders for
high-cla.-s Canadian whisky. In ad
fiition to his bootlegging swindle, the
immigration authorities say Camsusa
parsed several bad checks.
Mr. Honham predicts it will be
several weeks, or possibly months
before the immigration department
at Washington reaches a decision as
to the alien members of the commun
ist labor party in Oregon, whose de
portation hearings were held the first
of the year. The department, he says,
is over-crowded with work as a, re
sult of the wholesale) raids on com
munists, and several thousand are
awaiting final action.
