TEACHER WAKES IN TIME Odor of Chloroform or Ether Noted in Room Ocnpied by Three as Intruder Beats Retreat. in Marmon cars this week, according to F. W. Vogler, president of the Northwest Auto company, local dis tributors, the week having been set aside throughout the country by Mar mon dealers for special demonstra tions. The Northwest Auto company has in service three Marmon demon strators, he announced, and the com pany has issued a general invitation to all persons, whether prospective purchasers of a car or curiosity seek ers only, to ride in the car and check its performance. At the start of a ride the passenger is furnished with a score card and asked to check off the performance of the car on the following points: Base of Riding, acceleration, decelera tion, slow speed operation in high gear, high speed operation, ease of steering, convenience of controls, economy, weight, smoothness of motor operation, rigidity, road ability. All the demonstrators start from the company headquarters at Eighteenth and Alder streets. MeMTVKVILLE. Or.. Oct. 2S. (Spe cial.) Three McMinnville college girls occupying a lower room of a resi dence on the campus used as a girls' dormitory owe a fortuosite escape to the chance awakening of one of the'r number. Miss Marie Krickson. who discovered a man standing in their room at 3 A. 11. this morning, while the stupefying odor of chloroform or ether rose from the snaked blankets and pillows of the beds upon which the girls were sleeping. When the shouts of the young woman drove the man from the room, ehe aroused her companions, Dorothy Relchert, Spokane, and Elizabeth Vaughn, Boise, Idaho, from the half stupor into which they bad fallen. All three fled in their night clothes, making their exit through a window opening onto the front porch and roused the occupants of two nearby dwellings. Six other girls in the up stairs rooms of the house, Ola Davis. Twin Falls, Idaho; Eileen Itisley, Pa louse. Wash.; Cecil Graham. Portland; Iorothy Copley, Salem; Bertha Pent cey. Itoseburg; and Gray Light, Cloverdale, were not aroused. Search Proves Fruitless. Men students living in the C. C. Gowen arid Villa Davis residences rushed to the house, but the man had disappeared in the brush and trees close to the house, which extend for some distance along the edge of the ccn-pus. A car was heard to start on the highway a short distance west of the college about the time the men students reached the house. The car could be heard distinctly as it trav eled northward on the Sheridan road and entered the city of McMinnville. Search of the house revealed only a lev." muddy tracks, an open bathroom window, and a broken bottle beneath the window. Jewelry lying on the dresser in front of which the man was standing when discovered had not been touched and no articles about the house were missed. No explanation is offered for the. action of the man. He was described by three of the girls who had seen him as small in stature dressed in baggy clothes of light color and wearing a cap pulled tightly over his face. His nose, one said, was exceedingly prominent. I awoke with a strange feeling of presentiment. said Miss Erickson, teacher in the preparatory department of the collece. who is in charee of the touse used as a dormitory by herself "and the eight college girls, "and when half-aroused saw a figure standing in the room a few feet from the beds. At first I thought it was one of the girls who had entered the room, but. as I became more fully awakened 1 saw it was a man. " 'Get out," I shouted, but at first he made no move. I shouted again and he edged silently to the door, slipped through and disappeared." The discovery of the man In the room was the third in a series of alarms in the dormitory, all occurring last night. Early in the evening the report that a man had been lurking around the house caused a flurry among the girls. About 11 o'clock Ola Davis and Eileen Risley decided to take advantage of the nervous ten sion of the occupants and startle the trirls in the bedroom below by swing ing a shoe against the window. As they cautiously peered out they dis covered a man . standing diretly in front of the window below them, look ing into the lighted room, which was not protected by blinds. 'Peeper" Beats Retreat. "Beat it!" cried Miss Davis sharply, and the peeper passed hastily around the corner of the house, taking refuge for an instant in a small screened porch. Occupants in the room below, who had been unaware of his presence at the window, distinctly heard him as he stumbled over a cot on the porch. Boys summoned from nearby houses made a thorough search of the Erounds, but found no one. The girls rotired highly excited, and Miss Erick son moved her bed in with Miss Iteichert and Miss Vaughn, who occu pied the lower chamber, into which the man had been looking. Excitement on the campus and among the townspeople who had heard of the scare was intense throughout the morning. Arrange ments are being made for the girls who had roomed in. the house to move Into residences with private fam ilies for the present, and there is little probability that any will oc cupy the house again unless bet ter protection Is afforded. The house jsits back among the trees on the northeast corner of the campus and is secluded, although 'less than half a Mock from other residences. No men or older people have resided in the building this year. MARMON CARS SHOWN Week Set Aside All Over Xation for Demonstrations.
