125 , THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12. ' 1922 s PENINSULA BEAST 21 -Year-Old Vagrant Is Ac cused of Outrages. NET OF EVIDENCE STRONG Otto Mortenson, Held in Jail, Ad mits Being Bootlegger and Robber; Voice Betrays. Positively identified by one of his victims and emeshed in as strong net of circumstantial evidence as has ever been woven about any local prisoner. Otto Mortenson, 21-year old vagrant and thief, is held in the city jail as the "gorilla" man who terrorized the women of the Penin- uula district, several months ago. Mortenson, arrested last Thurs day on a charge of theft, has grad uaily broken down under constant police questioning and made dam aging admissions. Although he says that he is innocent of outrages against five Portland women during July, police officials say that his own statements will convict him. voico Is "Give-Away." a falsetto voice, ranging from a eep bass to a high soprano, brought about his ready Identifica tion, yesterday, by Mrs. Mabel Bush, 7 West Jarrett street, who was at tacked on the night of July 13. Mrs. Bush, after hearing Mortenson answer several questions, declared that he was the one who had at tacked and mistreated her. The police are now attempting to get in communication with other victims with a view to strengthening the evidence against Mortenson. One of the women, a nervous wreck as a result of her experiences, is now in Canada. Mortenson was arrested by Patrol man Brown of the St. Johns station, last Thursday night, after he had attempted to collect money for a quantity of stolen plumbing which he had sold to a Peninsula resident. After several hours of questioning at the St. Johns station, Mortenson was sent to headquarters. There he gave the name of D. "W. .Hanson, j-ie was locked, up on a charge of vagrancy. Reaemhlaure Is IV o ted. The following morning at "line up," when dete&tives looked3 over the night's catch of prisoners, Mor tenson came under the gaze of In spector Collins. That oficer, who had spent two months in attempting 10 locate tne .fen insula beast, in stantly recognized the resemblance between the prisoner and the de scription of the fiend , Mortenson has blonde hair combed straight back, hollow eeks and a in tielght anl deaf ears Mrs. Bush was also robbed of her wrist watch, a string of beads and a purse. Four other women wen even more horribly treated than Mrs. Bush One, a complete wreck as a result of her experiences, has gone to Canada to attempt to forget. Police offi cials believe that a number of other similar crimes were committed, but that the victims, -fearing publicity, declined to report them. The names of the victims known to the police are being kept secret. Formal charges of burglary were filed against Mortenson yesterday and he was ordered held for grand jury action. More serious charges will be preferred by the police today. i JURY IS OUT EVIDENCE COMPIiETED NICK DOLTE'S CASE. Panel Seeks Additional Data on Penalties Attaching to 3 Possible Verdicts. 1RK0FB COAL STRIKE HEARD Operators Advised to Get In and Clean House. INTENSIVE STUDY URGED Mining Congress Session Marked 11 by Wide Divergence of Opin-" ion Among Slembers. Jurors in" the trial of Nick Doltes, charged with the murder of George Grammatti in this city last August, were locked up early last night without without having reached a verdict. They had deliberated over the evidence in the case since early in the afternoon and once had re- jj Otto Mortenson,. 21-year-old va erant and thief, accuMed of being; the Peninsula beast. sallow complexion. general appearance he resembled the assailant in the Columbia park district. The sleuths did not accuse Morten son of these crimes. Instead they allowed him to do his own talking. They led him to believe that they had no suspicions connecting hira with the outrages against women. Mortenson commenced talking. He dropped the remark that he had once lived in a shack in Mock's Bottom. Later he admitted that articles of clothing found in that shack were his. Bit by bit the de tectives wormed information from him, Mortenson never thinking that he was being held for the crimes against women. Denials Are Vehement. Sunday he was openly accused of the Peninsula outrages. He denied the accusations vehemently. But the inspectors, while he had been talk ing, had collected a damaging array oi evidence. Mortenson had lived in the shack where the clothes, identified as those worn by the beast, were found. He admitted being diseased. He admitted being in me Peninsula district. He ad mitted residence in an abandoned two-story house near the north end of the O.-W. R. & N. tunnel, near which one of the outrages was com mitted and in the vincinity of which the fiend disappeared. A nickel plated revolver and flashlight, used by the fiend, had been in the pos session of Mortenson on the follow ing morning, according to a story told by a St. Johns barber. This revolver has been found by the police. Mortenson was taken before Deputy District Attorney Kirk yes terday morning. Mrs. Bush was there. And when he started answer ing questions then it was that the falsetto voice betrayed him and she identified him as the unspeakable creature of the Peninsula district. Woman Is Positive, "Put me in his place," said the woman's husband. "If I were in his place, would you still be convinced?" "I am as positive as mortal could be," answered Mrs. Bush. "I will never forget that voice as long as I live. Mortenson admitted a long career in crime. He is now a parole -vio lator from Buena Vista reformatory in Colorado. He confessed to a series of burglaries and petty thefts committeed in Portland. He pleaded that he be sent back to the Colorado institution to complete his term. "I am a burglar, but I never hurt a woman," he said. "I've always been a burglar." Mortenson presents a study for criminologists. Outwardly he gives little evidence of being the crea ture who created such a reign of terror in the Peninsula district last summer. Of ordinary height and appearance, the only distinguishing marks about him are the massed of pimples which cover his face. He talks intelligently, yet excitedly, jumbling words together and at tempting to get too many thoughts into one sentence. He spent the day in pacing up and down his jail cell, plainly exhibiting signs of nervousness and worry over the charges which faced him. Captain Is Convinced. "These people are trying to swear my life away," he said. "I didn't hurt any woman. I'm a burglar and a bootlegger. I was running whisky down on the trains from Tacoma to Portland at the time these things happened. I registered in a Tacoma hotel on the night of June 13. I told this woman that she was doing wrong in identifying me." nes a queer one. commented Police Captain Harms, who, with Inspectors Coleman. Collins and Oolrs, has had charge of the case. "He's as smart as a whip. too. There isn't an iota of doubt but that he' the man who committed these crimes." Mrs. Bush was attacked near Con cord and Jarrett streets as she was returning home from a lodge meet ing. She was choked into uncon sciousness and dragged to a patch of brush several blocks away. Part of her clothing was cut away when she refused to obey the fiend's com mands. Her pleas for mercy fell on turned to the courtroom seeking in formation as to the penalties at tached to the three possible verdicts first or second-degree murder and manslaughter. The case was put in the hands of the jury about 2:15 P. M., after cir cuit Judge Evans had delivered his instructions as to the possible ver diets and methods of weighing the testimony. About two hours later the jury returned and asked infor mation regarding the penalties for first-degree murder, second-degree murder and manslaughter. Judye Evans told them it was not within his powers .to enlightenthem as to these penalties. The jurors were obliged to file back to their room without the information they had sought. Many persons interested in the case interpreted the requests of the jurors as indicative that they were considering a verdict of first -degree murder. Judge Evans and many of those interested in the trial re mained at the courthouse after 5 o'clock, expecting an early agree ment on a verdict. The shooting occurred on the night of August 27 in the Everett hotel. Grammatti had traced his wife and son and Doltes to this city from Onalaska and found them here, the wife and Doltes being registered as Mr. and Mrs. Riggs, and occupy ing the same room. Doltes did not deny that he shot Grammatti after the latter had been admitted to their room, but alleged that the husband was on the point of attacking him.

Elenor Holman and Helen Weber, Portland; Katherine de Neffe, Baker; Iris Rice, Roseburg; CLEVELAND, Oct. 11. (By the Associated Press.) Warning that another coal strike is inevitable April 1, 1923, unless certain condi tions are removed; a sharp diver gence of opinion between union and non-union operators over labor pol icies, and a manufacturer telling the mining industry "to organize its household for self-examination, self expression and self-government' marked the third day's session of the American Mining congress which was devoted to an intensive study ct the problems confronting the bi tuminous coal industry. A resolution was introduced ask ing the congress to declare as its principles: "That all disputes directly affect ing the public interests which may not be settled by mutual agreement, snail be determined by judicial process. Combination Acts Scored. "That any act, in combination with others which would be unlawful if done by an individual, shall be un lawful on the part of all those who take part collectively and individ ually, all of whom shall be liable to damages to the party injured thereby. ' "That every agreement, order, de termination or conclusion by two or more persons, which, if carried out, would be in restraint of trade, in crease .the cost or restrict the pro duction of any article of commerce, to public injury, shall be declared unlawful and that each and every person, organization or combination guilty should be properly penalized." It also recommended that a com mittee on industrial co-operation be created to investigate plans to end industrial strife either by mediation and solution or arbitration, and recommend to the board of directors of the congress such plans as its in vestigation shall show to be advisable. Operator Introduces Resolution. The resolution was presented by C. E. Maurer of Cleveland, vice president of the congress, coal oper ator, and long a member of the com mittees negotiating with the united mine workers, and followed a ; lengthy address in which he pre- i dieted next April would find the I prices as low as last April and the miners' union as firmly refusing to take any reduction in wages with out a fight. The resolution will be considered by the congress, it was understood. A telegram from Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, was read,, detailing some of the evils of the coal industry and suggesting that general debate of its problems "will be most advantageous" to the new coal commission. House Cleaning Advised. John A. Emery of Washington, counsel for the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, told the coal industry to "clean house," and said that "during the months of delib erately suspended production the spectator has seen mue evidence of continuing unity in rnougnt or action among tha ostensible man agers of the industry, while, oni the other hand, he has witnessed a soli darity of policy, expression and ac tion, among the controlling miners which has. successfully resisted not only economic argument and offi cial intervention, but every appeal to impartial arbitration. "Now. to my mind, there is out one thing to do in the union- fields," he said. "You are tiea nanu ana foot to the united mine workers; you nave agreea 10 meet wim committee, and it is your duty to meet them. 'You don't want any claims this fall that you did not carry out your agreement. But when you have heard the demands of the miners and find you can't get anythin better than their demands and that the situation, does not warrant the Dresent wages, then it is time to quit, and quit for good." is only a repetition of what has been done in other cities which", de sired to place their orchestras -on a firm financial basis and to distrib ute the cost of concerts on a per capita proportion. This should ap peal to - every -reasonable mind as being the fair thing to to," she said. Officers of the . society are James B. Kerr, president: William D. Wheelwright, Mrs. William Mac Master, Mrs. W. B. Ayer. Mrs. Sig mund Frank, Guy W. Talbot. Ira F. Powers, vice-presidents; J. C. Ains worth, treasurer; Mrs. Henry L.

GAR HITS AUTO; 2 HURT EDWARD .MWXER BURNED AXD IXJCRED BADLY. Mount Scott Local Hits Milj Truck and Drags Machine 25 Feet Up Street. In a head-on collision between milk truck and a Mount Scot street car at the intersection of East Twelfth and Stephens streets at A. M. yesterday, Joe Pashco, driver of the truck, and Edward Lawler, 14-year-old companion, suffered se rious injuries. The boy, caught in the wreckage, was dragged 25 feet by the car, and was burned badly by flames of gasoline ignited by the crash. At the hospital last night Lawler, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward Lawler, 1798 Melrose drive, was said to have but a chance for life. He was kept under opiates to allay the pain of a broken hip bone and the burns which covered his legs and much of his back. Pascho, who suffered a fractured leg and lacerations on the chest, was rest ing easily. Pashco - was driving east on Stephens street and turned to the right into East Twelfth street. A wide turn brought the truck directly in the path of the street car which was traveling north. O. S. Close, motorman, said that he saw the truck, but thought that the driver would turn off the tracks once he had completed his turn. Mr. and Mrs. Lawler said their son had not gone to school Tuesday but had gone with OIlie Raster, a neighbor's son, on a jaunt south of town. Pashco said that the youth appeared at his dairy farm, known as the Mayflower farm, on the Lake road southeast of Milwaukie, Tues day night and asked for a job.

BY GRAFTON WILCOX. (By Chicaeo Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 11. The United States, in the opinion of administration leaders, is not hold ing aloof, from Europe and leaving it in the lurch, as publicly charged many, times recently both at home and abroad. The administration feels, it was declared today by an official in high place in the government, that constant reiteration of the assertion that it is doing nothing for Europe s unfair and deceiving to the public as to rwhat actually is being done. Billions of American dollars, it is officially declared, have been poured into Europe from the United States. with government sanction, since tne armistice and are now being used in the economic and financial habilitation of countries which suf fered from the world war. As an immediate illustration of what the United States is doing to help the war-stricken peoples of tne world, it was pointed out tnat in the near east, where Americans have even less direct interest than in Europe, the Unitedi States is do ing more to assist refugees than any other nation. Not only have American warships participated more actively than those of any other nation in the evacuation of refugees from Smyrna, but Ameri can charitable organizations con tributed more money and American relief workers contributed greater service than those of other countries. Foreign Investment Urged. In the opinion of odmlnis-trat1on officials it is inevitable that Amer ican capital should seek investment abroad. With the United States the greatest creditor nation In the world, and with the American dol lar at such a premium that few countries can afford to purchase American products, the administra tion realizes that the only sound method of restoring exchange is for American capital to seek invest ment abroad. The administration, appeclatlng this, it was declared, encourages for eign investment in every way pos sible and has co-operated freely with American bankers in their ef forts to secure legitimate sources of investment abroad. One of the tasks of Secretary of State Hughes has been, it is declared, to build up an American foreign policy calcu lated to give confidence to American capital that it will have the backing of the American government when it goes abroad. With the American dollar at a premium after the war, the state department was quick to appreciate the financial situation in the world. In a circular letter addressed to all American consuls, it gave instruc tions that American agents, who hitherto had sought only markets for American goods, ehould investi gate the possibilities of American investments. With American firms doing extensive business aboard, they would naturally seek to make remittances to the United States and would thus tend to stabilize Ameri can exchange. Bankers Are Co-opera tins;. American bankers in general have shown an entire disposition to work with the state department in the matter of placing loans only where they will be of constructive benefit. Since President Harding and Secre tary Hughes are committed to a pol icy of limitation of armament, they naturally look forward to the time when European nations will find It possible to reduce their land arma ments as well as their naval arma ments. Therefore, it is to be ex pected that the state department would frown upon any proposal by any American banking group to lend J money 10 a European power wnicn was known to be contemplating the use of that money in preparation for war. In this way, the American government Is a great force for peace, since a majority of the na tions could not make war without borrowing, and since the United States is the only nation in the world in a position to lend on a large scale.
