THE MORNING OREGOX1AN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6. 1920
FIVE T
SCOUTS - REACH CITY
Two Lads Hold Highest Rank
Possible in Organization.
HELD UP IN YOSEMITE
Vou posters Agog With Excitement
Over Ixn: Trip Ride to Be
Taken on Highway.
After a trip across the continent
shieh included some of the wonders
of the west which they had read and
dreamed about, including a real "wild
west" hold-up in Yosemite park, five
Boy Scouts representing scout or
ganizations from five boroughs of
trr eater New York arrived in Port
land yesterday morning to see for
themselves the City of Roses, and the
far-famed Columbia river highway.
The trip is being made under the
auspices of the Western Travelers'
association.
F. K. Matthes of the United States
geological survey and scoutmaster of
the Washington organization is in
charge of the party.
The boys were selected by competi
tive examination from each borough
of Xew York, being the highest point
winners from approximately 12,000
andidates. Two of the five. Cyril
McDcrmott and John Prest, are eagle
ecouts, which is the highest rank pos
sible for a Boy Scout to attain. Mc
Dermott., who represents the borough
of Manhattan, wears 26 special
merit badges on his uniform, which
represents efficiency in as many de
partments of scoutdom, and Prest
from Brooklyn displays 24.
The boys are all agog with excite
ment of the trip. They had seen
mountains and rivers and lakes and
deserts, all the things they had read
about in their school books and scout
stories. And down in the Yosemite a
real bandit held them up.
Hold-l p Story Rrlated.
Young McDermott, who is 16 years
of age. told about the encounter with
the highwayman. He had told the
story a dozen times already, he said,
and probably will tell it with equal
interest for the rest of his life.
"We were traveling by automobile
between Miami and Cedarbrook," said
young McDermott, "when we saw a
log blocking the road right ahead of
tis. As soon as we stopped, a man
got up from behind the log with a
bawed-off shotgun, and told us to
throw up our hands. He was masked
and everything, and looked awfully
tough. He had a sack over his head
yith holes cut In it to see through,
and when he told us to throw up our
hands we did -so.
"But when Mr. Matthes told him
we were Boy Scouts he said: 'All
right, go on, then, and I'll get the
next bunch.' He did, too. There were
two stages right behind us, and he
xnade everybody get out and- he took
all their money, but he let them keep
their jewelry. When we went on, I
threw him a penny, and he picked it
up and said he would keep it for
luck."
Boys Met at Train.
Upon their arrival at the Union
station the boys' were met by James
K. Brockway, local scoutmaster, and
a contingent of Portland scouts. After
a breakfast given In their honor at
Meier & Frank's store by Julius 1
Meier, they were taken for an auto
mobile ride over the city, and then
to the Chamber of Commerce for
luncheon, where they were entertained
by Frank Branch Riley.
"We have here five representatives
of young America," said Riley, "who
are being taught that the magnifi
cent mountains and valleys and re
sources of the west belong to them,
even as in the west we have a part in
Greater New York. They are being
taught that America is for Americans,
from the east to the west and from
the north to the south, and that their
country is not contained within the
narrow limits of their own immedi
ate environment."
The afternoon was . spent on the
Willamette river under the guidance
of Captain Jacob Speier, Portland har
bor master, ending at the Oaks with
a picnic dinner. After enjoying a
"breakfast as guests of Lipman, Wolfe
& Co., today will be spent on the Co
lumbia River highway and the even
ing on Council Crest.
Members of the visiting scouts were
Cyril McDermott, borough of Man
hattan; Walter A. Percy, borough of
Richmond; John Trest, borough of
Brooklyn; John L. Breitwieser, bor
ough of the Bronx, and Herbert
Jacob!, borough of Queen's.

At the Theaters.
Hippodrome.
A torn-up playing card that comes
out of an unbroken eggshell all
nicely patched together again is one
of Hugh Johnston's playthings at the
Hippodrome in his act on the new bill
opening yesterday. While he fools the
audience with sleight-of-hand, John
ston keeps up a running fire of patter
that gets him many laughs. He takes
from the orchestra pit a pair of funny
youngsters, Raymond and Edward,
who assist him and incidentally at
tempt to walk off with a few of the
stage fittings.
The Maxine dancers have a classic
number that has throughout a dis
tinctly foreign air. There are two
men who twirl like tops and do high
jumping to the music, and there are
four girls who do Spanish dances and
other imported ones. In the troupe i3
also a graceful toe dancer.
Just when a green reporter goes
on t nftpr his hitr Krooo a n ai rnln n
I lands a nice, pretty girl plump down
on the stage, and there is the young
man's story, as told in the delighQul
comedy episode put on by Blair and
Crystal The girl is vivacious and
witty and works the reporter into a
frenzy by her apparent ignorance of
the essentials of a sob story. The act
winds up with a song tragedy that is
a medley of popular refrains of the
past few seasons.
Blackface patter and songs make
the appearance of Cooper and Lane
popular. They have well-matched
voices and each word of the songs
stands out, clearly and they are all
funny.
Something unusual in the line of
acrobatics is introduced by the Perin
nis. a team wherein the woman does
practically all of the heavy supporting
work. Her partner stands on her back
and jumps all over her. finally wind
ing up by letting the fair performer
carry him about while he is perched
on her shoulders.

nomah county jail, to which he was
sentenced after pleading guilty to an
indictment charging him with a
voolation of the internal revenue act.
Nothing but a presidential pardon
can intervene to save Dusterhoft from
serving out the jail sentence, accord
ing to United States Attorney Hum
phreys yesterday after a careful ex
amination of the statutes.
But the other Dusterhoft twin, L.
A., the 50-50 partner in the Duster
hoft twins moonshining corporation,
will escape the punishment meted out
to his less fortunate brother. On mo
tion of Assistant United States At
torney Flegel, the indictment charg
ing him with the same offense on
which his brother was sentenced, was
dismissed yesterday in federal court.
The Dusterhoft twins were indicted
for violations of the internal revenue
act on April 20 last. It was not until
last month that Ed Dusterhoft, who j
had charge of the Portland end of i
their moonshining operations, was ap- I
prehended. Less than a month ago j
h6 pleaded guilty and was sentenced ;
to six months in the county jail and
fined $1000.
Subsequent'to his plea of guilty and
incarceration in the county jail. Judge
Bean handed down a decision in which
he decreed that the national prohi
bition act repealed the provisions of
the internal revenue act. Under this
decision, he held that persons indicted
under the internal revenue act could
not be prosecuted. Following the
handing down of this decision, a num
ber of persistent moonshiners who
were under indictment and awaiting
sentence won their freedom. There
was nothing the court could do but
dismiss the indictments against them.
No Law For Freedom.
Had Ed Dusterhoft procured a stay
of execution until after this decision
had been handed down, he, too, would
have escaped punishment for his
crime, but inasmuch as he has pleaded
guilty and has started serving his
sentence, there is no law under which
he can be freed, even though the law
under which he was sentenced was
inoperative at the time, declares Mr.
Humphreys.
In other words, say federal offi
cials, Dusterhoft is serving a jail
sentence for an offense which does
not exist. But the law is declared to
be such that once a man begins the
serving of his sentence he cannot ob
tain his freedom even though it is
subsequently found that the law has
been repealed.
M F. Green is the only other federal
prisoner now serving a county jail
sentence under similar conditions. He
was sentenced to 45 days in the
county jail for a violation of the in
ternal revenue act. and he, too, must
serve .out the sentence.
CmrM Max Be DUmUaeiL
Many indictments and direct com
plaints are now pending against al
leged violators of the internal rev
enue act, but in view oU. the decision
of Judge Bean, it is probable that all
of these will be dismissed when they
come up for final hearing.
A notable example is that of a
moonshiner who was arrested two
months ago at Oregon City. He paid
a fine of $250 in the state court at
Oregon City for a violation of the
state prohibition law. Later he was
rearrested and indicted for a viola
tion of the internal revenue act.
A month ago he went to the prose-
j cause a jail sentence must be imposed
3& k ' v
V. 1 I"? 1 1 t
under the provisions of the internal
revenue act. The case has been pend
ing since then, but now that the law
has been declared repealed the
government will lose the $500 fine
which he offered to pay.
The case of Ed Dusterhoft is con
sidered the most striking of all those
which have come to notice since the
law was declared null and void. He
had escaped apprehension month af
ter month and when finally arrested
quickly entered a plea of guilty to
an offense which does not exist, in
the eyes of the law. Dusterhoft's
vaunted luck failed him Just at the
moment when he had a golden oppor
tunity of beating the law.

Talks Most Interentingly
About the Hair.
He says baldness Is increasing rap
idly among men and points out some
of the reasons. Prof. Austin is prob
ably right in saying that only about
one man in every hundred ever thinks
about his hair at all, except to comb
it two or three times a day. If it falls
out he looks anxiously at the falling
hair and then promptly forgets it
until the next time he uses a comb.
A man will give the utmost atten
tion to his t' th. because he knows
that when trouble arises he will have
more trouble and probably lose his
teeth if he doesn't go to a dentist
promptly. But bis hair doesn't ache,
it just gradually dies, and when it is
nearly gone and the roots are dead
he anxiously tries a dozen different
remedies at once and then resigns
himself to baldness.

out knowing what you are trying to
cure. The particular trouble with which
your scalp Is afflicted must be known
before It can be intelligently treated.
Prof. Austin examines the roots of
your hair with a powerful microscope.
He finds out just what is the trouble
with YOUR HAIR, and then he tells
you what to do for the trouble.
