UNION Oil RAIDED REDS - m 11 II .1 " ' W If i yn' ' . f&v if I s RADICAL LETTERS SEIZED four Men Taken to Station and Closely Questioned bat Sub sequently Turned Loose. With information in their posses sion that industrial Workers of the World and other radicals were plan Bin? a bigr demonstration on the Plaza block on May 1. in conjunction with similar demonstrations to take place all over the world on the same date, the police, under the leadership of Lieutenant Harvey Thatcher and Sergeant Kpps, began a campaign of increased activity in the city yester day for the curbing of the radical ele ment. The results of yesterday's work were that one alleg-ed radiical was held to answer to the grand jury on a charge of violating the state syndical ism act and a raid was conducted on the headquarters of the Shipyard La borers & Riggers union in room 310 of the Lumber Exchange building. Four men, taken to the police station and questioned, were later released as the officers were unable to ge evidence to Justify holding them. Arrest Followed by Raid. The raid followed the arrest of Ernest Lchto, alleged radical, who was taken at Second and Couch streets by Patrolmen J. M. Miller and S. E. Miller. Lehto was said to have been peddling I. W.V. books, stamps and similar material. He was lield to the grand jury yesterday afternoon by Judge Rossman after waiving preliminary hearing. His bail was placed at J 1000. At the time of his arrest Lehto Is aid to have had in his possession papers indicating that he had re ceived some of his radical material from a J. Kennedy, Whose address was given as 310 Lumber Exchange building. The raid followed, but failed to reveal any radical literature, and Kennedy was not to be found. A search for him was being conducted last night, it was announced. The four men who were questioned by the police were Pat McCJovern, William Williams, P. S. Stephens and Charles Bennet. These men were in the office at the time of the raid, ' along with about a half dozen others. Williams was a candidate of the rad ical element for the chairmanship of the Central Labor council at the elec tion not long ago. According to the police, three of the four formerly held cards In the 1. W. W. Speial Agent Participates. The raid was conducted by Lieuten ant Thatcher, Sergeant Epps, Officers J. M. Miller. S. E. Miller. Russell and Huntington. Bill Bryon, special agent of the department of justice, partici pated and helped in questioning the men at the police station. Lieutenant Harvey Thatcher said last night that any demonstration of a radical character in the city would result in wholesale arrests. "I am an automobile owner and in - favor of good roads," he declared, "if the boys want to demonstrate it will merely mean that they will get a chance to crack the rocks for mak ing our roads better." He expressed the belief that the work now being carried on by the police would prevent any demonstra tion of formidable character. Police officers declared they had seized rad ical letters which announced the in tention of a demonstration on -May day. despite any resistance which might be met with from the police. Stickers announcing that "May day is supreme in soviet Russia. Follow suit," have also been circulated. APPLE SHIPPING HALTED Emburgo on Cars Uelajs Delivery of Hood River Ncwtowns. HOOD RIVER.

Miss O'Connor has been working hard recently, having ap peared as Harry Carey's leading woman -in f'Bullet Proof," and also taking a part in "The Path She Chose." Harry Carey was the target for a broadside of questions recently when a group of school girls visited the set where he was working on his new production, "Human Stuff." He was introduced to the visitors and, excited over meeting a screen celebrity, a babble of voices'rcsulted when they all tried to talk at once. One senti mental young admirer wanted to know If Carey's sweetheart In the picture was his sweetheart In real life. Carey spoiled a budding ro mance when he explained that Mary Charleson, his leading woman, was Mrs. Henry B. Walthall in private life., Harry Franklin, directing Edith Roberts in "Alias Miss DoddV' brought a half-pint of brandy from his private vault to be used in a scene in the photodrama. Miss Roberts is shown preparing a plum pudding, pouring the brandy over it, lighting it and, later eating the pastry. A property man was guarding the precious flask until called for by the actress. Frank lin instructed "props" to keep whis tling steadily until he called for him. "What's that boy whistling for?" asked Miss Roberts after the property man had exhausted his musical reper toire and was starting all over again. "I told him to whistle so he can't touch the brandy," answered the di rector.

Wonder where I could find him?" That was easy for William Ferguson was also appearing in the musical hit, "The Little Whopper," on Boadway. He is an old-timer on the stage. In fact. J he was a call boy In Ford's theater when President Lincoln was shot, so you can see that what Bill doesn't know about the "stage ain't nothing."
