TIIE OREGONIAN, TITURSDAT, NOVEMBER IT, 1921 i CHANGE IS MADE iraraipiffls Dock Commission to Adhere to Present Policy. CONTROVERSY IS AIRED Meeting Held With Rival Steam ship Companies, Shippers and Freight Forwarders. The commission of public docks will continue Its past and present policy In the handling of freight' trans shipped here from trans-Pacific to ln tercoastal liners, it was decided by the commissioners yesterday after an exhaustive discussion of the matter with representatives of the rival steamship companies, the principal shippers, freight forwarders and oth ers interested. The meeting was called in an attempt to formulate hard and fast rules to govern this traffic, but after all phases of the matter had been Investigated it was decided to continue as in the past and decide each case upon its merits. The entire controversy which exists at present in regard to the disposi tion of trans-shipment freight has arisen from the keen competition be tween the intcrcoastal lines, each of which naturally desires to carry as much as possible of the freight iviuu,iit uoi o viitiu v un livery on the Atlantic coast. Ttte question involved is the extent to which a trans-Pacific steamship line controls the routing of freight brought here from the orient for trans-shipment to the Atlantic. The problem is peculiar to Portland In that both companies operating Amer ican vessels from this port in the trans-Pacific trade act as agents for lntercoastal lines. Both the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company and the Admiral line claimed the right to hold this freight for vessels of the inter coastal lines which they represent, while the other lntercoastal lines held that when they secure the authoriza tion of the eastern consignees to carry this freight they should be able to compel the surrender to their vessels of the freight brought from across the Pacific. As the commission of public docks Is custodian of all this freight, It de volves upon the agents of the com n.ssion to decide upon the validity of each diversion order presented by the lntercoastal operators. Henceforth, as formerly, the dock commission will deliver the trans-shipment freight to an lntercoastal operator when it deems his claim to the freight, suffi cient, and at the same time extract from this operator a statement as suming all responsibility and liabil ity for the delivery.

GRANGERS' SESS1 PROVING BUSY ONE Northwesterners in City Greet Delegates. to YAKIMA PROVIDES APPLES Hundreds of Oregon, Washington and Idaho Members in Portland to Attend Gathering. Hundreds of Oregon, Washington and Idaho grangers were in Portland yeeterday to greet the delegates of the national grange end the national officers attending the S5th annual session. The assembly room on the mezzanine floor of the Multnomah hotel, where the business sessions are held, was thronged with grange mem bers and many came and left after short stays throughout the day. Yakima apples, boxes and boxes of the finest the Yakima valley produces, were distributed by representatives of the Yakima grange, 25 or more in number, who came by special car for the session. The Yakima grangers, under the leadership of J. R. Schwartz and W. H. Massie, are present in a body to oppose any attempt that may be made to reinstate the deposed "Washington master, Wllliajn Bouck. The members of the party said little regarding the matter, but indicated that they wer on hand for whatever developments might arise. No indication was given as to when the suspension of ilr. Bouck would come before the grange, but it is probable that the schedule will be cleared for it late this week, or by the first of next. New Grange. Organized. C. M. Freeman of Tippecanoe, Ohio, national secretary, announced in hfs annual report that 203 new granges naa been organized within the past year and 34 dormant granges reor ganized.

C, over the signatures of the national master and secretary. There will db only a short business session this morning and no official action will be taken, owing to the ab sence of 20 delegates who will be practicing for initiation into the as sembly of Demeter (seventh degree). Reports of state masters will occupy a large part of the time. Class Awalta Initiation. The seventh degree initiation will be held at the public auditorium at 8 P.

At last, he said, both fell down and continued wrestling, but finally he got on top of the bandit and got possession of the gun. About that time, he testified, help arrived in response to his calls. Chance, to Snoot Numerous. In reply to questions asked by Gard ner, Inderlied admitted that the bandit had numerous chances to shoot him both before and during the scuffling. Inderlied said he kept the gun. he took away from the bandit until he returned) from his run today, when he turned it over to the officers. He iden tified five bullets as those he had taken from the gun. Two of the bullets had wooden noses and the others had lead noses. J. E. Wllke, special agent of the department of justice, who followed Inderlied on the stand, said Gardner explained to him that the wooden nosed bullets contained small shot, which probably would stop a man without killing him. Bullets Found In Room. Wllke also told of visiting the room that Gardner inhabited during the days he passed in Phoenix previous to the robbery and of finding a bag of bullets in the room. After Wilke had finished testifying, Gardner asked him if he had a search warrant authorizing him to search the room, Wilke said "No." The other witnesses were police of ficers and others who went to the car in response to. Inderlied's calls. Their stories did not add much to that told by Inderlied. Story of Escape Told. Gardner was under two sentences of 25 years each when he escaped from McNeil's island. He told Sheriff Montgomery and newspapermen the story of his escape and his life since then. Previously he had refused to talk about this period of his life. Gardner said that for three days after he escaped from the guards dur ing a prison baseball game, he hid In the prison barn and later swam to the mainland. He hid in the hay loft of the barn, he said, and twice while he was there, he declared, he heard the Bteps of the guards who were searching the barn for him. He was wounded twice during his dash from the guards, he said, one bullet striking him in the right leg and another hitting him in the left leg. He had to stay on the island until the wounds were nearly com pletely healed, he said. Cattle Furnish Food. The food and drink problem was solved for him by a herd of cattle owned by a big- dairy on ilc.Neil's island, he continued. There were about 40 cilk cows in the herd and every night Gardner would slip from his hiding place and go milking. He had lost an enormous amount of blood from the wound In his right leg, he, said, because he was unable to staunch the bleeding until it "clogged" up. The wound in his left leg did not cause him so much trouble, although the bullet had brought him to the ground when the guard fired, he said. After remaining three days in the loft, Gardner said, he slipped out and bid In the brush for two days, when he made the attempt to swim the channel. He did not disrobe, but plunged Into the cold water at ebb tide and made the two-mile swim, he declared. . Cold Water Bracer. "The cold water acted as a bracer," Gardner said, "because I was pretty weak from loss of blood, and the cold did not bother me once I got into the water." Gardner said he reached San Fran cisco about September 28. He said he met 'no trouble In his long trip to Phoenix and, asked if he got Into any tight places with his pursuers, he said that he had done so only once. "That was in Raymond, Wash.," he continued, "where I got jammed up with a party and had to-leave In the night. I took a machine and drove to Portland." Cycle Got la Oregon. Gardner seldom If ever rode on a train he said, almost the entire trip through the west and middle western states being made on a motorcycle, which he obtained in Oregon City, Or., which place he reached in a 20 mile trip on an interurban line after leaving the automobile in which he rove to Portland. The only disguise affected by Gard ner was in his hair, which was natu rally a heavy black. When he reached Raymond, Wash., he purchased a small bottle of peroxide, he said, and bleached his hair, which now carries a pronounced reddish tinge. When ever he rode the motorcycle he wore a pair of tinted glasses, he said. Gardner at Medford. ' Throughout his trip Gardner slept mostly on the outside, but on occa sions stayed in lodging houses, as he has since he came to Phoenix 23 days ago. Gardner stayed In Medford, Or., for three days, he eaid, and from that city continued on to Redding, Cal., where he remained only over night. During this stage of the Journey he was "trav eling fast," he said. Leaving Redding the next day, he started for Napa, Cal., where his wife and baby were. After one night In Napa he left for Bakers field, where he stayed over night, and next day started for Los Angeles. That was about four weeks ago, as nearly as Gardner could recall the time. " He had been traveling on a motor cycle until the engine froze between San Juan Capistrano and San Diego, so he abandoned the machine and walked about a half mile to the Atchi son, Topeka and Santa Fe tracks and caught a freight train, on which he rode to San Diego. After two days in that city he went to Mexican, Lower California, reaching the Mexican town about 27 days ago. No Money In Mexico. Asked by Sheriff Montgomery why he did not remain in Mexico, where he would have been safe from arrest. Gardner replied that there was no money down there and that he couldn't compete with Mexicans for work. "1 could have existed down there, I suppose," he said, "but then you can exist in the penitentiary." He stayed only three days in Mexi can, according to his story, and then started for Phoenix by way of Yuma and Maricopa, Ariz., he said. He rode from Maricopa to Phoenix on a pas senger train, Gardner said. United States Commissioner Henke came Into the jail and walked down to where Gardner was sitting in a cell. ."Well, I was surprised to hear that Roy Gardner came-to a little town like this and got caught," Mr. Henke said to Gardner. Gardner laughed. Mood Is Light. Throughout his story in the connty Jail Gardner was in a light mood and did not seem depressed. He Is 36 years old and has received a good education. According to his own story, he attended the public schools in Missouri, graduated from the Colo rado Springs, Col., high school and the Colorado State university. He said he was a welder by trade. He also said that his father and a married sister are living in Chic kasha, Okla. His father, he said, is a retired business man. He admitted that he was the author of an appeal to President Harding for a pardon. I Negro Thought In Charge. Gardner blamed the failure of his attack last night on the fact that Inderlied, a white man, was in charge of the car, instead of the negro mail clerk that Gardner thought would be in charge. He said he was confident the negro would have obeyed the com mand to put up his hands. Gardner confirmed the police theory that he intended to try to get the $15,000 be believed was to be shipped, but he denied that he had any accom plices. , "Don't you know I always work alone?" he said when asked about accomplices. He told officers that he had watched the registry window closely during the three weeks he was here, waiting to see if any valuable shipments were being made. Yesterday, he said, he heard a bank messenger, mention a Bhlpment of $15,000, and Gardner said he believed It would be sent out on train No. 170 last night. Postofflce officials said Gardner would have found the negro mail clerk In charge of the car had he waited until tonight. The negro was scheduled to take over the run to night, they said. GARDNER MAKES 3 ESCAPES Precautions to Prevent Another Getaway Will Be Taken. To all outward appearances. Roy Gardner has written li is last chapter in an outlaw and a fugitive from jus tice, for every possible precaution now will be taken to prevent another es cape. Local police officials predict that the far-famed "Oregon boot" will be the mail robber's most consistent companion until he is returned to Mc Neil's island to serve the 50-year sen tence imposed by th. federal court in California. Gardner's criminal career during the last two . years has been highly sensational. Three times has he mad. daring escapes, but each time he has been recaptured without gunplay. Al though heavily armed, he never has made use of his weapons, when cap ture appeared imminent. Gardner first gained nation-wide rotoriety when he held up a mail tvain in April, 1920, and escaped with cash and securities valued at $85,000. He was captured several weeks later and sentenced to 25 years at the fed eral prison on McNeil'B island. June 7, 1920, while the train bearing him to prison passed through the east fcide depot in Portland, Gardner over powered his guards and with the aid of a Chinese prisoner made his es cape. - He remained a fugitive for several months, when he was again arrested after robbing a mail train near Roseville, CaL He then was sentenced to an additional 25 years in the federal prison. June 11. this year, when passing through Castle Rock, Wash., once more bound for McNeil's island, Gard rer overptwered his two guards, and , with Norris H. Pyron, another prls- , oner, escaped irom tne train, iie was J the object of a manhunt for six days, and finally was captured at Centralia. After he was delivered over to the I prison officials, Gardner became a j model prisoner. He stood in the good graces of those who guarded him at McNeil's island, and his escape from I the island prison the afternoon of September 5, during a Labor day base ball game, was so full of the element cf surprise that he easily made his getaway. In his escape from prison Gardner took with him two other prisoners, one of whom was seriously wounded and the other almost instantly killed by guards. It always has been be lieved that Gardner took the prisoners in order to protect himself from the fur.s of the guards. At any rate he ran In advance of them to get this r.dded protection. The hunt for Gardner was con tinued on the island for several weeks until officials finally admitted he had escaped to th mainland. Several weeks after his escape Gardner ad dressed an open letter to President Harding, appealing for a pardon, and many persons were seeking to assist him in this endeavor. Gardner's wifo, who has remained steadfast in her love for her outlaw husband, has re. peatedly beggbd him to give him self up. Any sympathy or consideration which might have been shown the train robber has been entirely swept away by this last attempted mail robbery, in the belief of officials gen erally. MRS.
