; LOS AXGELKS, Cal., Oct. 6. F. A.
; Bell, deputy sheriff, left Los An
freles late today, taking with him
' documents signed by women con
fessions that may lead to the mur-
derer of Guy N. Dernier, former Chi
,(. cagoan,
Dernier, once manager of the ship
ping department of Montgomery
Ward & Co., was found strangled
and floating in an irrigation canal
I near Phoenix. Ariz., September 12.
? Investigation showed that 22
' prominent and wealthy women had
' been intimate with him, that some
" or them had given him money, and
" that there were many other women
involved in his affairs. One was a
'r 16-year-old housemaid.
Nome Hunband Suspected.
' Deputy Sheriff Bell obtained state
: menta from nine of the 22 women
21 of whom are wives. He had to
threaten some with prosecution, it
, is said. Others were eager to talk.
" "I can't say yet, of course, what
these women have told .me," Bell
declared before the train pulled out,
. "but they have given me a lot of
help.
There's a bootlegger in this
thing, too, and while he may have
killed Dernier, w'e are inclined to
5 think that one of the 21) husbands i
' did the job. We are almost certain
5 of it.
Bootlegger I Cheated.
"Dernier had cheated this boot
legger out of $1300. We have not
talked to the bootlegger yet. We've
: been too busy checking up on the
; women.
"The dead man kept three 'dope
i hooks.' In them he put down the
' names and addresses of his women
t' friends But he was cautious. He
I once told a friend that nobody but
himself could make out his en
2 tries. It has given us a good many
f hours' study, this cautiousness of
' his, but we've got a lot of evidence
out of it.
! "For instance, some of these worn
i en I talked to yesterday and today
! were listed only as addresses. It
I required work to find out their
' names, and get their stories. Some
t of them wept. Some of them
; laughed. One of . them, the only
one of the 22 rich women who is not
i married, was frightened only when
I told her that Dernier was damaged
goods.
Women's Names Listed
"Some of the women were listed
1 under street names. Like-this-
Oeorge Adams, 1817 Lillian street.
I The names are fictitious, of course,
s and just by way of illustration. We
i would find that by this was meant
Lillian Adams. 1817 George street
"In other cases he wrote out
i names and addresses, color of hair
and eyes and other details, and such
r- notations as 'Call nights,' 'Husband
' works days.'
"He was a respectable business
man up to 14 months ago, living a
decent, clean life, so far as any-
body knew, anra everybody liked
" him. Then they started the New
t Phoenix Country club and made him
, secretary. They gave him a share
i.f stock for little or nothing. And
his character began to change.
; "There seems to have been plenty
" to drink at the club and Dernier
1 was thrown with drinking women.
He took to drinking heavily him
v self, to going around with other
men's wives, and to borrowing
: money from them.
I Fund Declared Kept.
I "Had he lived he would have been
indicted by the federal government,
1 charged with fraud. The federal
1 people say that Dernier learned
ij what refunds were due to various
persons and that he got these re
; funds and kept them, posing as an
income tax expert.
"He did not confine himself either,
by the way, to the wives of club
home here Sundav night,-' was
years old and a well-known Oregon
educator, having for 20 years oper
ated the Capital Normal school of
Salem. He was. born near Newcas
tle. Morgan county. Ohio. He en
listed in the 77th Ohio volunteers at
the age of 16, was wounded and
captured at Marks Mills. Mr. Kraps
entered Wesleyan university at
Bloomington, 111., and began his life
work teaching there. In 1879 he
married Louisa E. Crumbaugh, who
survives him. He taught his first
school in Oregon at Pratum in 1890.
In 1914 he constructed a school
building in Tew Park, Salem, where
he conducted school until February,
1921, when he retired, having com
pleted 50 years of teaching. Be
sides his widow he is survived by
two sons. Leo J. Kraps of Lon,
Beach, Wash., and Kent S. Kraps
of fealem.

resident and "press" operator on

ber 27 in Yakima, Wash. He
the son of Mrs. R. P. . Kinne of
Yakima, Wash., and was born De

ALICE HILLS PLAYS "HOME
LIEST HJEROIXE" PART.
Katiska, in "Take It From 3Ie
at Heilig, Held Obstacle of
Ugliness to Be Hurdled.
Alice Hills, who is the life and
joy of the party in "Take It From
Me" at the- Heiligr, is much of the
same opinion as the prima donnas
who have played Katish-a. "She is
to my way of thinking the homeli
est heroine in opera or drama and
yet I have never known a real
members. We know that h& was in-
, timate with lots of others, house
maids, a little 16-year-old girl.
..working- in the home of one of the
22 wealthy women, was his victim
also. Her parents knew nothing- of
It. either, until the sheriff's office
notified them.
"1 don't wonder he was killed
2iirtd out there some nine miles
from Phoenix, choked from behind,
stripped of his clothes, flung into
yie ditch. It happened between
noon and 1 o'clock. And apparently
nobody saw it. e have mtorma
tlon. however, that Dernier had re
-reived a messajre from a woman i
short time before he was slain, also
that he had called up a woman.
There is no doubt the trap was
baited with a woman."

artist who hesitated to play the
role of vatisha simply because she
had to be made up uprly. A real and
abiding love for one's art will
hurdle an obstacle of that sort.
Handsome women sing-ers so on
blacken insr their teeth, screwing
their hair into tight knots, and
making- themselves into Katishas
and all for art's sake. So when the
role of Klla Abbott, homely spinster,
fell to my lot five years ago and
I've been playing- it steadily for five
years, let me add in parenthesis I
put my vanity in the discard. My
own hair I wear bobbed for conven
ience and it's naturally curly, and I
have lots of it. But I screw it all
under a wispy, tight, ratty wig. I
make-lines on my face where Nature
has not yet made any and I shoe
horn myself into a costume that is
fearful and wonderful. I repeat it's
all for art's sake."

an hour's ride out from New York
she owns a farm of 100 acres. mo3t

retreat for women and girls who
are in need of rest- I plan to make
it a friendly place, a haven where
my friends in the profession may I

or body. My mother, who is the
t of my family besides myself,
shares my vision and is a great in
spiration to me."
Miss Hills is familiar with Port
land and has friends in California,
oo. She played stock engagements
a few seasons ago along- this coast.
It is highly appropriate that at the
end of the Theodore Roosevelt In
ternational highway, in our own fair
city, there should be a fine new
statue of the "Rough Rider" leader,
far whom this highway is also a
memorial, in the opinion of A. W.
Tracy, general secretary of the as
sociation helping establish and ad
vertise this transcontinental thor
oughfare. According to Mr. Traey,
who arrived in Portland yesterday,
several other statues of the late
Colonel Roosevelt are already con
templated at different points along
this Portland, Me., to Portland, Or.,
highway.
Portland. Me., Busy.
Agitation of the matter of such a
statue has been started in Portland,
Me. The city of Minot, N. D., has
asked permission of Dr. H. W. Coe
donor of the Roosevelt statue to be
dedicated here on October 27, t
erect an approximate copy of th
Proctor statue at the entrance to it
Roosevelt park.
Now that the Roosevelt highway
is fully mapped and almost com
pletely marked throughout the 401
miles of its lengtn, said secretary
Tracy, the Roosevelt Internationa
Highway association is ready to
launch a campaign of publicity. The
northwest is sure to profit greatly
through the advertising given the
highway and through the establish
ment of many new highway infor
mation bureaus. Of these there are
at present 15, chiefly in eastei n
cities.
Park Road Barrier.
The roadway through the Glacier
National park has been a barrier
link jn the Roosevelt highway, Sec
retary Tracy stated. While the
route through the park will not be
ready for use for another year an
excellent detour that runs over into
Canada has been put in shape. With
this accomplished, the association
will begin its drive to have those
traveling on the highway come west
of the Rockies. At present, accord
ing to Mr. Tracy, only a little more
than 25 per cent of eastern tourists
come west of the Rockies, merely-
visiting the national parks and then
turning Jnto Colorado and homeward
again.
Secretary Tracy will today hold
conference with officials of the Ore
gon division of his association. Fred
W. Vogler is president of the Oregon
division f the Theodore Roosevelt
International Highway associatior
and Sydney P. Vincent is secretary.
J. P. Jaeger, H. J. Ottenheimer and
John K. Gratke are directors. Plans
for publfcity will be discussed, along
with other problems, such as mem
bership and information bureaus.
14 State in Plan.
Eaoh of the 14 northern states the
highway traverses has similar or
ganizations and, according to Secre
tary Tracy, all are enthusiastically
working to influence completion of
improvement of the thoroughfare.
Approximately $6,000,000 wag spent
in improving it during 1921 and ex
penditures will probably equal that
sum again this year. The highway
is now marked from Portland, Me
to Dayton, Wash. Eighty-two per
cent of its length is Improved
though the greater part of this is
merely graveled or macadamized as
yet. Travel over this route has In
creased more than 25 per: cent in
both 1921 and 1922, surveys have

another ship near San Pedro, Cal.,
and is now on the drydock. The
statue was not damaged in the col
lision and has been transferred to
the Ohioan.
Because of the size of the statue
it will be Impossible to unload it at
terminal No. 5, and arrangements
have been made to unload it at the
municipal terminal on the west side
of the river.
The base for the statue is also en
route to Portland and should be here
next week. This base is the largest
piece of granite ever worked out on
the Pacific coast and has been hewn
and made ready by the Blaesing
Granite company of this city, at
qarries in Raymond. Cal.
