COUPLE-TAKEN HERE
OH "SLAVE" CHARGE
Youth Accused of Stealing
Califcrnian's Wife.
WOMAN WELL KNOWN
E. II. Huston, Declared Violator of
Uaun Act, and Mrs. Evilo Lod
ford Apprehended in Hotel.
Elopement w.Uh another man's wife
Is merely the assertion of his' right
to "the pursuit of hanplnees," de
clared E. 11. Huston. 21, when appre
hended yesterday morning in a down
town hotel by federal officers and
held on a white slave charge. His
companion was Mrs. Evilo Ladford
f San Francisco.
"How come?" inquired ' "William
Eryon, of the department of Justice,
when he talked with Huston, an ex
service man, regarding his plight.
"I guess every fellow has the right
to liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness," responded Huston.
"Even to the extent of borrowing
another man's wife, without settling
the account with him?" Insisted Mr.
Uryon.
That's the way I look . at It
answered the prisoner.
Not Done In Portland.
Tou may look at it that way." was
Mr. Bryon's final word, "but it's the
jiort of thingr that won't g In Port
land." Huston Is held on a formal charge
of having violated the Mann act, ac
cording to Deputy United States At
torney Reames, and will be returned
to San Francisco for trial as eoon as
the federal grand Jury in that city
brings in an indictment. He la alleged
to have lured Mrs. Ladford away from
her husband in San Francisco and
for some weeks the couple are eatd
to have been touring the Pacific
coast together. Mrs. Iadford Is re
ported to bo well known In the Cali
fornia metropolis, as the daughter of
a prominent customs-house official of
that port.
The couple were traced from San
Franciisco to Reno, thence to Sacra
mento and Seattle and a day or so
ago to this city where their romance
suffered a blight when federal offi
cers followed them to their room.
Though Huston is defiant, Mrs. Lad
ford Is said to be penitent and is
persistently appealing to the authori
ties to send her home again.
Holmes In Trouble.
Another white slave complaint was
filed yesterday In federal court
against Leo Anderson Holmes, now
held in jail at Astoria. Holmes is
alleged to have conveyed Mrs. Dora
Peterson from Aberdeen, Wash., to
Portland during the session of the
Imperial Shrintr and Is said to have
made full confession. The woman is
held as a material witness for the
prosecution.
Deputy United Statea District At
torney Reames says that in addition
to the white slave charge. Holmes has
coniessea 10 araic evasion and Having
falsified his questionnaire. It is
alleged that he failed to register in
the first draft, though of the requisite
age and that though he registered in
the second draft he then made the
false declaration that he was married,
winning thereby a deferred classification.
ern cities on 'his trip, Including Chi
cago, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Pittsburg,
Pa.; Bowling Green. Ky.; Memphis
and Nashville. Tenn.; New Orleans.
La., and San Antonio, Tex. He re
ports that a careful sounding of the
sentiment of southern states reveals
an overwhelming sentiment for Hard
ing. "The cotton growers of the south
are in financial straits," said ilr.
Schnabel, "due to the fact that their
cotton has been produced at a maxi
mum of expense and the present price
of cotton to the growers is below the
producing cost. They are hoping for
better results through a change in
the administration. All he taxpayers
of the south are Inwardly hoping
and praying that Harding will be
elected.
"This Is a strong statement, but It
Is the. truth I haven't met a single
man in the south who said he would
vote for Cox. From all indications,
it will be a landslide for the repub
lican ticket."

Joe Orselll, Truck Gardener oM
BeaTerton, Convicted and
Fined for Poaching.
The quick wit of Joe Orselll. truck
gardener of Bearerton, did not avail
to save him fron conviction yester
day of the charge of shooting with
out a license, when arraigned before
Justice Smith of Hillsboro. And al
though Orselll Is crestfallen, be is
no more so than Is W. E. Peg, dep
uty county clerk of Washington coun
ty, who has pledged his word to the
state game warden's office that never
again will he back-date a hunting
license. '
Orselll was arrested on October 11.
wnlle hunting pheasants near Beaver
ton, by Warden Craig on a charge
of shooting, without a license. He
protested volubly that he had the
license at his home, and that he
would procure It and prove his In
nocence. Released on his own recog
nizance, Orselll persuaded Deputy
Clerk Peg? to Issue a license to him,
setting the date of the document back
to October 9, or two days before the
warden encountered him afield
Wary from long dealing with sev
eral varieties of poaching. Warden
Craig questioned the authenticity of
the license, with respect to the time
of issuance, and prevailed upon the
deputy clerk who Issued it to proceed
to Portland and "render an explana
tion. Pegg gave his testimony In the
form of an affidavit, admitting that
he had issued a license to Orselll
and dated it back to October 9.
A fine of $25 and costs was as
sessed against Orselll In the Hills
boro court. Pegg waf reprimanded
for having falsified the date In Is
suing a license, but was absolved
from any suspicion of having at
tempted to aid Orselll la' defeating
the law.
