Harriett Crothers. alias Rae Du pont, known to the police aa "queen of the shoplifters," may soon return to her Portland home, hand in hand with her . wronged, but forgiving husband, whom she deserted a few months ago for James Stanley Rus sell, alias "Eau Claire Red," 'no torious yeggman and outlaw. Jn order' that this pretty enigma of the underworld might have an other opportunity "to reclaim her self through the protection of a faithful husband's love and devo tion, Dan O'Brien. .San Francisco chief - of police, and Andrew Ma honey, police coimissioner of the same "city, made a special trip to Portland to plead with the husband to return with them to San Fran cisco and forgive .the 'errant wife. Hfuband Confides Love. Althougn the San Francisco offi cials were in conference with the husband for several hours, he de clined to give them a definite an swer. But to a reporter yesterday he confided that he still loved the girl anj would soon go to her side and offer .whatever assistance he might possibly give. . Seldonl, ifever, . has the under world bared to public gaze a story equal to that of Harriet Crothers, who is now held in jail at San Francisco on a charge of looting ' San Francisco stores of . $15,000 In silk dresses and similar goods. ' At the time of her arrest early in May she calmly told police authori ties she flad stolen more than 200 silk dresses, that she had served as look-out on a Bcore of safe-robbing Jobs, and that she was one of the leaders of.a Chicago gang of crooks. Other things she told them, too, but the police were so amazed they could scarcely believe her, but when she admitted in an unguarded moment that she had come from Portland, they began to check on her story and found it to be substantially true In every respect. Husband Grief-Stricken. But back of these bare facts which telegraph wires, have flashed from San Francisco is yet another story one which a grief-stricken husband has kept locked in his heart for several months. It Is a story which shows that the underworld neither forgives nor forgets. It dates back a year ago, when a young store clerk in Chicago met Harriett Crothers. He wooed and won her, and. soon they were mar ried. For two months they lived and loved in complete happiness. And then to the astounded hus band came the awakening. The pretty girl of his dreams was a lead ing member of a Chicago gang of crooks. As a shoplifter she knew no equal. As an outside worker on safe jobs or loft burglaries, she was far more dependable than most men. Woman Forced Into, Crime. It was hecause the underworld re fused to lit the girl-wife try to go straight that they hunted her down in her little Chicago love-nest and demanded that she return, to a life of crime. Even the husband's life was threatened on more than one occasion unless he should give up hie bride and let her return to those hire had left. - Chief among these Chicago out laws was "Eau Claire Red," known to the police from coast to coast. The young bride had been "Red's" "Moll" during the time they had worked together as gangsters, and it was he who was most persistent in these threatening demands. In desperation, the young husband gave up his employment jn Chicago and brought his bride out to Port land, where her mother has resided for many years. And here in Port land they began to live once more, although in continual fear that the underworld gangsters would eeek them out and expose them. Employment Is Procured. The husDand procured employ ment in this city, and the precar ious honeymoon started anew. The bride was happy and wanted to for get her criminal past. The husband was forgiving and was helping her do it. For she had told htm the 'etory of her, dark past. She had bared her very soul to the man of her choice. . , But they both knew that the un derworld never forgets, it was early this spring that the young couple shuddered in horror one day when "Eau Claire Red" made hip 1 ifiSAsluded pa. .( 9. tolucmTi Soduo -Saburi, Counsellor and Charge for Japanese, Also Takes Part In Ceremony.

PERIL TO WORLD IS SEEN Eden Not Myth, Says Funda mentalist Crusader." SERPENT TALE ACCEPTED Wonder Stories Are Literal Nar ratives ot. History, Asserts Dr. William B. Riley. In the theology of Dr. Will'am B. Riley, a Baptist pastor of Minneap olis, and chairman of the Christian Fundamentalists' association, there can be neither dissent nor appeal from scriptural statement. The wonder tales of holy writ are literal narratives of history, rather than mythical . or7 allegorical devices wherewith to point a moral. And science, with its theory of evolution, is incompatable alike with faith and fact . "It is more than that," said Dr. Riley yesterday. "It is per'Ious to an effective Christianity. The false logic" of the evolutionists, would un dermine and destrdy the very basis of our strong, belief. It is in-contradiction of the recorded and vera cious history of the Bible. I have challenged the proponents of evolu tion again and again to debate, but they will not meet me." Crusader Touring America. Waging -a new crusade, to effect the return of Christians to the fun damentals of their faith. Dr.. Riley is on tour of America and is spend ing this week in Portland, speaking to audiences at various Baptist churches. It is his mission to reach with fresh assurance those who havfc strayed, near or far, from an exact and literal Interpretation of the scriptures those, whose cry is that of a forgotten American poet I am alien. I am alien, to tbe ita nay mother taught me, 1 am stranger to the Ood that heard my . father when he cried .... What is fundamentalism, in Its relation to some specific incident or master marvel of the Bible? In its bearing toward some story that has challenged belief and inspired doubt ers to cavil and criticise? When Eden was bright with that first sun rise did the serpent, and not an allegory, enter the province and tempt our mother Eve? There are allegorical lessons and pictures in bth testaments, agrees Dr. Riley, but always their environments .de pict them as allegories. But the story of the serpent, with human tongue and wit infernal, is not of these. "The story of the prodigal son," (Concluded on Page 3.

Mrs. Clara Phillips was arrested tonight at Tucson, Ariz., charged with the slav ing here last night of Mrs. Al berta Meadows, who was beaten to death with a hammer and a boulder, according to telegraphic advices re ceived: at the sheriff's office. The arrest was based upon admis sions said to have been made tothe sheriff by A. L. Phillips, a Los Angeles oil promoter and husband of .the woman taken Into custody. Jealousy, jsaid by Phillips to have been unwarranted, was the motive for the alleged murder, according to the sheriff, W. I. Traeger, to night. ". Dead Woman Identified. Identification of the dead woman waa effected only after Phillips had made a statement to the sheriff, although both the police and the sheriff's office were busy on that phase of the case during much of the day. ' ,s . The oil promoter revealed her name, her age-as 20, and the fact that she was a widow. Hesaid his wife was 23 years old. Sheriff Traeger, in making public the details of the case as he said he had received them from Phillips, declared the slaying, which had been accompanied by greaT ' bru taiity and ha J excited the entire city since the discovery of the body on a hillside within three feet of Montecito drive, in the northeast ern part of the city, wa completely solved. Cane la Summed Up. The sheriff summed the case up as follows: An unwarranted Jealousy: a sudden planning of the slaying; a clever, decoy to get the victim to the scene of. the murder; the fight between the two women, evenly matched in size and age; the blows with the hammer; the stealing of tbe slain girl's automobile; a flight home; a confession to the husband; his efforts to aid her in-leaving the state; the disposal of the automo bile; the departure on-the train and the arrest at Tucson." Mrs. Meadows, as the sheriff said Phillips had told him, had- been a widow several months, her husband having been killed by electricity here several . months ago. The widow, employed as a bookkeeper at a bank, left that institution about 4 o'clock Wednesday. She . had a snirfill automobile, parked at i Ninth and Main streets. I ( Mm. Meadows Accosted. - . When she reached the parking place, she was accosted by Mrs: j Phillips, who said she had been tiown town snoppmg, one of her purchases having been a hammer. "Are you going home?" Mrs. Phillips was" said to have asked. "Yes." ' "Have you time to take me home?'' "Yes, I've nothing to do the rest of the afternoon." "Then I wish you'd take me to my sister's home?' Mrs. Phillips was alleged to have requested. , They entered the runabout and Mrs. Phillips was said to have di rected Mrs. Meadows to the lonely Montecito drive. When they reached the spot where"- the body of Mrs. Meadows was later found, according to the sheriff, Mrs. Phillips said: Improper Relations Denied. ' "Let'a get out, I want to talk something over with' you." Both left the machine. I Then, according to the version of events given, by the sheriff, Mrs. Phillips demanded. "I want to know your relations with my husband." The young widow denied anything improper, and the wife, according to the sheriff's story, countered with i the recital of a number of alleged incidents to which she attached im portance, bui which Phillips told the sheriff were only 'idle gossip .by neighbors. The wife-and the widow, quarrel ing over the man grew angry, the sheriff asserted. - . Hot words passed. - Then, it Is alleged, Mrs. Phillips struck ' the widow with her recently purchased hammer. A struggle followed, last ing several minutes. Woman Hit Again and Again. "Mrs. Phillips told her husband that she struck Mrs. Meadows' head again and again with the hammer,' said Sheriff 1 Traeger. "When all life was gone and the head crushed in at several places, the body was left where it had fallen, less than a yard from the roadside. "Mrs. Phillips is an expert driver of automobiles.
