TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1920 y SEND N6 DEGENERATE TO OREGON RESETTED Arrest of Annoyer of Little . i Girls Ordered. MEW YORK IS CRITICISED Governor Oloott Declares State Is 'o Dumping Ground San ity Hearing Planned. . SALEM, Or., June 21. SpeciaL) Should Milton Schwartz, recently ar rested in New York City on a charge of attacking little girls and later re leased on the promise that relatives would take him to Oregon, attempt to enter this state he will be arrested and examined as to his sanity, ac cording to a letter prepared today by Governor Olcott and sent to "Walter Evans, district attorney of Multnp ffiah county. Schwart had resided in New Tork City for some time. Recently it was alleged he attacked some little girls Jn that city and was examined be fore a supreme court justice. in the city of New York. The court was about to commit him to an insane hospital, when the mother and an uncle of the man promised that they would take him to Oregon if he were released. Man Reported Danger on. The Justice permitted his release fen their promise. Authorities, at the examination in New York, were re ported to have stated that Schwartz was dangerous to be at large. "I have written to Mr. Evans re oucsting that he take immediate ac tion against Schwartz in the event tSchwartz comes into his jurisdiction," aid the governor today, "but through the press I wish to ask that in event riebwartz goes into any other county of Oregon the proper officials take immediate steps there to have him examined as to his sanity. I consider it an outrage on the part of the offi cials in New York state to permit a man of this caliber to be foisted on our state. The little girls in Oregon aro as fully entitled to protection as the little children in New York state, and whenever this man enters our state I trust that prompt action will be taken to see that our children are protected." Letter Sen to Mr. Kvauaa. The letter which the governor ad dressed to District Attorney Evans follows: "My attention has been called, through the press and other sources, to the case of Milton Schwartz, an alleged degenerate and assailant of little girls. 'who was declared in a court in New York to be a lunatic and dangerous to be at large. He was, nevertheless, released upon rep resentations of his relatives, who promised to take the man to Oregon. 1 understand he left New York in company with his relatives for Port land a few days since. In the event that this man arrives in Portland 1 am requesting that you see that he is apprehended immediately and ex amined as to his mental condition. "I am informed that the justice who sat on his case in New York was about to commit him to an insane hosintal, when his relatives interposed the plea that he be allowed to ac company them to Portland. I under stand that they represented that he is watched by an attendant, but I further understand that he has elud ed this attendant on occasions and pursued his fancy for little girls. "I consider that gross injustice ha been worked against the state of Ore gon in permitting this man to come here, and there should be no delay in peeing that he is examined by the proper authorities for such disposi tion as the examination may warrant, "-I am trying to ascertain by tele graph when Schwartz will arrive and what his addreB3 in Oregon will be." SHRINERS LET JOY LOOSE Continu-d From F-lrst Page.) minute the first section came to rest nnder the trees, its famed Phila delphia "Millionaire band" came into action with a blast of trumpets that started the crowds running for blocks. lO.OOO See Columbia. - v Ten thousand Shriners and their j N wives were taken out to the Colum J bia highway in 2500 donated cars. J But an additional 10.000 were dis- J appointed; some so bitterly that they i wept. Ira F. Powers worked like a Trojan. We shall have the cars tomor (cw," he pledged. Then he said: "The salvation of Portland's repu tation for hospitality depends on the auto owners of Portland. ' "All over the city are to be seen ears with visitors' cards running without passengers. All today we have been impressing passing cars on the street and sending them out. Portland auto owners, I appeal to you to do our city justice." Thousands saw the city from the vantage of street cars. Perhaps 7000 went over the "arrow route." Two thousand, at least visited the Eastern and "Western sawmill and were amazed as they saw the giant logs entering the mill and the finished product leaving it. "Women Ride on River. Some hundreds of women were taken on river trips. Disappointed as thousands were, yet they could not fail to feel their hosts were doing their utmost. W. Freeland Kendrick, imperial po tentate, was the honor guest on the highway and as many of the 700 im perial representatives as could , be rounded up were driven over Port land's wonder boulevard. in the evening band concerts were everywhere. At least 60 bands were in action. Some of. them filled their official engagements, others started impromptu dancing on the streets, in the hotel lobbies and wherever the crowds gathered. Al Kader's guides and the formal patrol were kept on the everlasting Jump. In would come a train. The patrol would, at attention, usher them in for registration, then at the double hurry back to the next train, unless in the meantime it was already on the way to headquarters. And as each train came to rest, out would joyously leap, one, two, three and sometimes four bands, and the depot roof would shiver as the great chords crashed out. "Women Have Good Time. Hundreds of happy, laughing worn en, from 7 to 70, poured into the housing committee's automobiles and were hurried to their Portland ad dresses. But it was the impromptu parades that 1 S day. Y Lu took the popular fancy yester Lu Lu, for instance. Lu Lu dropped into town at 4 o'clock At" 6 Lu Lu had a parade four blocks long, composed solely of its own con tingent, with Mayor Baker and Im perial Potentate Kendrick in the van. To a snappy marching tune, Lu Lu headed off with Its green, gold and white uniformed band. Then a de tachment of zouaves that for ability to exercise- formations in' the line of march would be hard to excel. Two handsomely-gowned women marched by their sides, but it- was whispered they were Julian Eltinges in disguise. Then 150 while-clad nobles, bearing white umbrellas, with the words in red, "Lu Lu" on their tops. Gorgeously-clad chanters sang whenever the band took a rest. Money Raised for Charity. - The band was directed by Dr. H. Howard Thomas. It is composed of former professional musicians and has a money-raising record for charities that perhaps has never been sur passed. On the start of its cross country trip it played for an ice and milk charity for half an hour. Net re sults: (10,000. During the Chicago convention the band serenaded Gov ernor Sproule. Then Za-Ga-Zig. The Za-Ga-Ziggers hail from Des Moines, la. . They brought with them a snappy band. A parade, they said. And parade it was. They organized one of their own, martialed their patrol into line, commandeered a few auto trucks and loaded the women members of their party into them and, presto! they were off. And oh, the girls from della of Dallas. Hella did not mind band play ing, patroling, chanting or doing any thing like that, but those Texas beau ties were treated like queens. Pala tial autos and trucks were chartered for them arfd they visited the city escorted by the band and patroL You should have heard the cheers. But perhaps you did, or were one of those who cheered. El Riad of Sioux Falls dispensed music and held another parade. Southern Sonsra Appeal. Tangier of Omaha did the same, while at the same time Tangier no bles were welcoming Portlanders to their magnificent headquarters in the Multnomah hotel. Then Kosair. Kosair only arrived last night in its big Louisville spe cial with over 200 nobles and their wives. But a few minutes later the big Kosair band was heading its own lit tle relatively speaking parade. And everytime they stoDoed the band would be subdued and the Kosair chanters, handsome as Arab chief tains in white with dark purple cloaks, sang the songs of the south. And the crowd cheered. It cheered from sheer delight and happiness. There was Afifi of Tacoma. which has already unloaded two specials in Portland and has a third on the way today. Afifi chartered trucks and bore its cheering nobles and women and its bully band all over the city. Canadwiani on Hand. From far-away Al Hazar, Calgary, Alta-, came its band with its snappy kilted patrol. And when they started their wanderings over the streets,' Glzeh, from Victoria, B. C joined in, from a fellow feeling that Canucks should get together. Murat's nomad band quickly drew a large following of Hoosiers and former Hoosiers. And the crowd laughed long at the antics of "Pink" Hall, who bears the title of "Black Rajah of the Desert." "Pink" is a real comedian, and the Murat lads borrowed him from a roadshow to bring to Portland. The real leader of the band is W. S. Mitchell. Nile swung into line, headed by Harvey J. "Woods, and they "smiled with Nile." So did the crowd. And so it was. Perhaps there were a score of others, birt who could see them all? They swung into line, they disbanded, but they did their best to have a good time and to let every one who heard them have the best time possible. OAKS ENTERTAINS 14,600 Audience Sees "Hogan In Egypt," "Written, for Event. Camels and Shrine emblems out lined in fire formed part of the spectacular aerial programme' put on last night by Manager Cordray of the Oaks, who was host to 14,600 visitors during the day.

Special set pieces included a camel with a Bedouin on its back, the Shrine emblem, a "Welcome to Port land" and an Al Kader fez. There was also a performing monkey on a horizontal bar, which provided plenty of comic features as long as the illumination lasted. One feature not on the original pro gramme was the exhibition given by one of the fire boats. The auditor ium, seating 3000 people, was packed by those who witnessed the Shrine show, "Hogan in Egypt," a sketch written for the event and presented by the Adeiphia Musical Comedy com pany.
