Mr. and Mrs. Viotor Braver, the lat ter formerly Violet Desjardines, a denizen of the local underworld, and I'Oth, of whom were thought to know something- of the supposed murder of Krcest Descamps in February, 1920, have disappeared mysteriously in the apache district of Paris, according to announcement by federal authorities. The local officers had kept track ot the pair for the past two years, and it was only a ehort time ago that the irau was lost in Paris. Because of the absence of tangible evidence on which extradition papers might be procured, all official Inves titration of Brayer and his wife in connection with the Descamps case r.aa been closed, it was announced yesterday by R. p. Bonham, chief im migration inspector for this district. Although police investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Descamps was closed more than year ago, Mr. Bonham has followed the trail of Brayer and the Desjar dines woman ever since they left Fortland. about the time Descamps disappeared, because of the fact that they were the only possible suspects who might have had a motive -In kill ing the one-time wealthy Portland saloon man and underworld leader. Woman Held for Time. So far as the Desjardines woman is concerned, she was arrested at Gal veston in the fall of last year and was held in jail there two months for investigation, but there was no evi aence strong enough to warrant bringing her back to Portland as a possible accomplice in the Descamps zmiraer. . Nor is there any substantial evi dence that Brayer might have been the slayer, Mr. Bonham said ye&ter- day, except for the fact that he was the only person known to the author! ties who might have had a motive. Although Descamps and Brayer at one time were- business associates. tney were said to have quarreled bit terly in 1918. Some time later, it was said, Descamps gave immigration autnorities information upon wh'ch were based deportation proceedings against both Brayer and the Desjar dines .woman.- Brayer. under this theory, might have sworn vengeance against Descamps.

HE WORLD'S CHAMPION, at the Liberty this week. Is good entertainment, in spite of the fact that Wallace Reid is scarcely the type for his role and has few acting opportunities. The picture is an adaptation of the stage play, "The Champion," in which Grant Mitchell appeared last season. Too much of the film is taken in working: up to the point where- the play begins. When this spot is reached, it becomes good comedy. The story contains the sort of material which appeals to American audiences. There is an overbearing and stuck-up Englishman nobleman and other snob bish Englishmen to be put in their proper places. In developing the story, no opportunity is lost to stimu late antagonism for caste, lords, ladies, aristocracy and snobbishness. Wally's role presents him as the youngest son of an ex -grocer's family. He refuses to kowtow to his aristo cratic neighbors, is disowned and goes to America. In five years he becomes the world's middleweight champion and returns Home for a visit, saying nothing of his fame. When it leaks out family are more shocked than ever until they realize that he is the only member recognized by the people whom they have tried to know for so long. The star g'ves a couple of boxinir exhibitions, which fail to carry any real punch. As a "prizefighter, he is hardly convincing. Lois Wilson furnishes the romantic interest as the proud Lady Elizabeth. W. J. Ferguson as the butler puts over his comedy effectively and Guy Oliver is splendid as the fighter's trainer.

No definite ' information has ever been received which would determine whether (or not Brayer actually was in Portland at the time of the Des camps murder, Mr. Bonham said, and even though he should return to Portland evidence against him would be insufficient to warrant the placing- of a murder charge. "Although our office naturally would want to aid in clearing up any mystery, at the same time our prin cipal purpose in keeping track of Brayer and this woman has been to keep them from entering the United States illegally," Mr. Bonham said yesterday.

HfflGTOil URGED TO SEIZE CHANGES State Chamber of Commerce Meets at Olympia. 4TH CONVENTION HELD "There is -more realism in the imi tation than the real." That was the reason given by Eric von Stroheim for his expenditure of more than $250,000 for a set showing the front of the Casino and the Hotel de Paris at Monaco, for his "Foolish Wives," which, opens at the Peoples soon. He said: "If I had taken a company to Mon aco and had attempted to film the scene in front of the Casino, it would have been difficult to keep curious onlookers away from the range of the camera. Then, again, it would have been ispossible to secure the colors, the lighting effects that make the picture stand out so boldly on the screen. "Regardless of what critics say about the expenditure of so large a sum, the phenomenal success of 'Fool ish Wives' already has justified our expenditure."

Brayer has been questioned by the x-a.ns ponce at tne instance or the im migration authorities, but he insis tently denied he was in Portland at the time of the murder, Mr. Bonham said. He told Paris officials he never neard of the disappearance of Des camps until nearly a year later. Presence Here Denied.

Clark, until recently man ager of Allen's press clipping bureau in Portland, said yesterday that it was she who had sent to Bishop Thomas F. Oailor, president of the national council of the Episcopal church, clippings dealing with the troubles within that denomination in Portland. Bishop Gailor, in a mes sage of support for Bishop Sumner, received in Portland Tuesday, had said that these -.clippings had come rom an anonymous source. "This must be a mistake, said Mrs. Clark yesterday, "as I have sent these lippings to Bishop lailor and always under my own name. I first sent to to the suit against Dr. A. A. Morrison, and have his card of acknowledgement for them. I also sent the accounts of the rift between Bishop Sumner and Dean Hicks and wrote to him that I was doing so." Bishop Gailor's reference to clip pings from an annoymous source was contained in' a telegram he sentVTues day from New York to Rev. Triomas Jenkins, rector of St. David's Episco pal church. This message said that the "ecclesiastical differences" report ed from Portland would in no way alter plans for the big triennial Epis copal convention, arranged to be held here next September.

BIGGS, redheaded, irre sponsible victim of wanderlust, who left Portland under the stern custody of the Children's Home so ciety of the state of Washington last fall, proved himself something like the proverbially famous cat which in sisted on coming back. It was learned yesterday that the boy was once more in Portland when J. H. Martin, district superintendent of the Washington Children's Home society, arrived here to take his charge back to Yakima. The boy created something of a furore when he was here last October by the story which he told at police station. The story, together with the boy's happy personality, resulted in his being taken into tiie home of Patrolman R. H. BurdicR for several days and the patrolman and his wife announced their intention of adopting him until tney discovered that he had run away from foster parents at Grand View, Wash. Since that time the boy has had another good home and has run away from that, according to Mr. Martin. After his record was discovered last fall he was turned over to the juve nile authorities and placed in the Frazer home. The Children's Home society of Washington, of which the boy was a ward, was immediately ad vised of his whereabouts and Mr. Martin, the superintendent of the so ciety, came to Portland to get the boy. 1 oung Biggs, however, apparently had fallen in love with the Frazer home and he objected to being taken away at that time. "What's the idea?" he asked Mr. Martin when the latter told him that he must go back' to Washington. Again a good home was found for the boy in the vicinity of Spokane. But again he refused to stay put. He ran away and was picked up on the streets of Portland by police about two weeks ago. He was taken to the Frazer detention home again and Superintendent Frost again ad vised the Washington society. The boy was taken back to Yakima last night by' Mr. Martin, who an nounced that his case would be pre sented to the juvenile court there. There seems nothing left to do but treat the boy as an incorrigible and place mm in the junior reform school at Chehalis," he said. Mr. Martin said that the boy had been a ward of the Children's Home society for about six years. The boy's father died at Selah, Wash... when the boy was about six years old..

Governor Hart, in the opening ad dress pictured for the delegates a trip over the state highway system. The present administration intends to build a state highway system second to none in the world, the--governor said. Power Resources Discussed. Particularly strong was the address of F. C. Brewer of Tacoma on the Power resources of the -state, in which he stated that the installation cost of power plants per kilowatt was much less in this state than in tlie middle west or New England. The possibili ties for the development of hydraulic power are almost unlimited, and noth ing could do more, to develop indus tries in the state than to advertise the fact that Washington is pre eminently the region of cheap power, Mr. Brewer stated. - E. L. French, director of agricul ture, showed that the agricultural production of the state had developed at a much greater rate than the abil ity of the cities to consume agri cultural products, although the urban population had increased at a greater : relative ratio than the rural. In the discussio nfollowing Director French's speech O. C. Soots, ecretary of the Yakima Commercial club, stated that unless" freight rates were reduced Washington would drop from that of the premier apple-shipping state to one down in the list.

LUMBER HOLDINGS SOLD Baudon Cedar Company Takes Over Plant of Coquille Concern. BANDON, Or., March 15. (Special.) The Bandon Cedar Manufacturing company, recently organized, has pur chased the plant and equipment oi the White Cedar Lumber company of Coquille and will open the factory here within the next 30 days.
