REACHES PORTLAND IN SAFETY
About flail Orders
Then She Promptly Geta Lost In the
Crowd and Ik Rescued by the
Police She's to Lle
1 r Here.
L.lttle May Pippin, a 7-year-old glrljwho
Journeyed all the way from Coleford,
England, to Portland, without other care
than that ol attentive steamship men,
railway conductors and passengers,
stepped from a train at the Grand Cen
tral Station at 7 o'clock yesterday morning
and -was received, w Ith outstretched arms
by her affectionate uncle and aunt, Mr.
and Mrs. John Wendt. The young trav
eler was apparently not in the least wear
ied by her long trip, and she shook her
long black curls and laughed merrily as
iher relatives took her to their home at
95 Tenth street At the family residence
May proceeded to make herself fully at
home, and Mr. and Mrs. "Wendt, who
have no children, gave her full permis
sion to exercise the privilege. ,
In the afternoon May, escorted by an
older girl and accompanied by several
youngsters, attended the theater, and she
enjoyed the performance thoroughly.
"When the audience was dismissed she and
the other girls left the theater and May
immediately lost herself in the crowd. A
diligent search was made for her, but she
could be found nowhere. As a last re
sort, the services of the police were
called for, and Mrs. "Wendt was informed
that a little girl, answering May's de
scription, was held at the station await
ing the arrii'al of a claimant. May, who
had passed several days in the towns of
New Tork and Chicago, had simply lost
herself in the great city of Portland.
"When asked' about her disappearance, she
said she met a man with a star and told
him her name. She could not tell him
her address.
"And he gave me a ride In a big wag
on," she said, with apparent relish.
Mrs. "Wendt, who is a sister of May's
lather, and who was greatly agitated
when she learned of the child's disappear
ance, told her that she must not stray
away from her companions again, and
May reassuringly answered that she never
"got lost at home."
Little May evidently had a very pleas
ant trip across4 the Atlantic
"I knew everybody on the ship," she
said. "I was not sick at all, but other
people were. The only time I didn't feel
well was when something felt funny in
my throat," and May gave an imitation
of a person in the second stages of sea
sickness. At New Tork May met Miss Zula
Tumbree, a school teacher of Colfax,
Wash., who accompanied her to Port
land and gave her ex'ery attention.
"She's a nice lady," May said, when
speaking t her escort Talking about
other friends she made on the trip. May
said they were all "very nice." Evident
ly all thought a great deal of the little
girl, for Mrs. "Wendt has received letters
from a number of ladies, and one of
them said she would send a watch to
May.
As May's Journey was very rapid, she
could not tell much about the strange
sights she saw. Her father, she said,
accompanied her to Southampton and
piacea ner on a large vessel ana she

TWO BOYS LEAVE HOMES
Hal Garner and Ray Cnrner Mysteri
oualy Disappear.
Two boys of CasUe Rock, who have
been attending school In Portland for
some months past, disappeared from their
homes about a week ago and have not
been heard from since. One of them,
Hal Carner, was a student at the Park
School, and resided with his mother Jn
this city. A week ago Saturday he left
home and since that time his mother
has been unable to learn anvthlne of his
when he left, and she thinks he is seek
ing work somewhere up the Valley. He
had no reason to leave home, she said,
excepting that he did not want to go to
school. He had often said that he would
seek work rather than attend school,
and his mother thinks he is looking for
employment in some place in the Willa
mette or Columbia Valley, Hal Is about
16 years old.
Earl Clarke, also of Castle Hock, was
of the same age as Hal, and was his
closest friend. He lived at University
Park and .. attended the Portland Busi
ness College. The, last seen of Earl
was on the morning of AprU 6. Why he
left only he himself can tell. He had
come to Portland to reeclve a business
education and he had always been very
studious. He had never made any re
marks about leaving the city.
Mrs. Carner said yesterday that sho
knew of no reason why the boys should
have left their homes, and that she could
tell nothing of their whereabouts. From
inquiries which she had made she was
certain they had not gone In the direc
tion of Castle Rock. They had. she
thought, gone up the Willamette Valley
and she would very thankfully receive
any information about them-
