TWO MEN ARRESTED
s HI 10 PLOT
Prisoners Accused of Posing
as Federal Officers.
EXTORTION SCHEME FAILS
Ex-Liquor Investigator and Shoe
Clerk Held for Attempting to
Extract "Bail" Money.
A little scheme of extortion, in
which two men posing as federal of
ficers endeavored to force an Italian
householder to give them $200 in cash
aa "bail," because they found wine in
his cellar, came to a bad end yester
day when Deputy Sheriffs Christof
ferson and Rodney Hurlburt arrested
the "master minds" of the plot.
H. Hoageli of 428 Yamhill street,
who was employed as a special in
vestigator in liquor cases by the po
lice department last winter, and E. H.
Carpenter of 10M East Eighth street
North, shoe clerk, who successfully
fought extradition to San Francisco,
in 1914, on a forgery charge, were
lodged in the- county jail, charged
with impersonating federal officers.
Their case will be handled by the
United States attorney.
Women Escape Arrest.
P. Ferraris of 509 East Fifteenth
street was scheduled as victim in the
plot that failed.
Mrs. Evelyn Erlckson, landlady at
the Hoageli home, and Mrs. E. H. Car
penter narrowly escaped being ar
rested as accomplices for they were
suspected of acting as "lookouts" for
the men under arrest.
Hoageli and Carpenter rose early
in the morning of Memorial day to
put their idea into action, according
to Ferraris, who said that they
awakened him at 6:30 A. M., Tuesday.
We're government officers," spoke
em of them, reported the victim, as
th flipped back their left coat lapels
to give Ferraris a fleeting glimpse of
shiny stars. "We have information
that you have some liquor stored here
and want to search the premises."
Search Warrant Waived.
Ferraris muttered something about
s search warrant.
"We ain't gotta search warrant,
but can get one in a minute if you
want it," the pair replied, according
to the victim.
"I thought that if they could get it
in a minute there was no use both
ering them for it," naively explained
Ferraris last night.
The search disclosed several bar
rels of wine in the basement, about
50 gallons in all. Ferraris explained
that it had been made for the con
sumption of himself and large fam
ily, and that it was their custom to
have wine with most of their meals.
"You may be right, but we gotta
take you to Jail, anyhow," he was
told. "Get into your clothes."
Ferraris dressed. Then one of his
unwelcome visitors spoke up:
"Listen, we klnda hate to take you
to jail on Memorial day, and if you
can furnish cash bail of $500 we will
not make you report until your case
is called for hearing."
Searchers Spar for "Ball."
"I haven't $500 and today is a holi
day and I can't get any money." This
disturbed the strangers. They con
sulted one another.
"Well, if you can dig up $200, we'll
take that for bail, this being a holi
day." But Ferraris could not "dig up"
even $200, it appeared. Finally, out
of apparent kindness of heart, the
visitors told him that tney would
trust him for it and would return at
noon the following day for the bail
money. Warning him not to tell any
one for fear they would get into
rouble for their leniency, they left
!him.
Ferraris notified the sheriffs or
e's and Deputies Christofferson and
Itodney Hurlburt decided to keep the
twolntment yesterday and went to
Ferraris' home. At the appointed
Ime nothing was heard 'from the ' of
icers." A little later the telephone
ang.
'We're not coming to your home
gain, hut will meet you in front of
he Catholic church. Bring the money,"
as the message.
Women Seen tn Auto.
The deputy sheriffs left the house
by the rear entrance, and five min-
.ltes later Ferraris started tor tne
Catholic church, three blocks away.
i-bout a block from the house Deputy
riirlstofferson spied an automobile
harked, in which two women were
Itanding, gazing intently in the direc
lion of the Ferraris home. But they
lould see only the front door.
Hoageli met Ferraris alone. The
f eputy sheriffs then walked up to the
air. Carpenter was arrested later
It the shoe store at Third and Mor-
lison where he was employed. Hoa-
tell told Christofferson that he was
deputy constable. Constable Gloss
Iaid that Hoageli had been deputized
ome time ago, but had been dis-
I-harged since.

Wait Too Long-
Are your gums tender do they ever bleed when
you brush your teeth?
If so see your dentist at once and start using
Forhan's For the Gums. You have the first symp
toms of Pyorrhea.
Incredible as it seems, four people out of every five
past the age of forty, and thousands younger, have
Pyorrhea.
If neglected Pyorrhea soon runs its deadly course. It loosens
teeth until they drop out or must be pulled, and it causes
those deadly pus pockets to which scientists now attribute
so much serious illness. ,
If you use Forhan's For the Gums consistently, and use it
in time, you can prevent Pyorrhea or arrest its course.
Brush your teeth with Forhan's twice each
--day. It will keep your teeth and gums in
a clean healthy condition.
Don't delay longer. Four out of five fall
victims to Pyorrhea because they waited too
long. 35c and 60c tubes, at your druggist's.
