His Attorneys, Bankers and Business
Men Are Mystified Over Disap
pearance Temporary In
sanity Ascribed Canse.
More profound at every turn grows
the mystery shrouding the disappear
ance of Theodore E. Kruse, wealthy
cafe and hotel-owner of this city, who
vanished on the morning of August 21.
With all his financial affairs In excel
lent shape and with those who have
had business or social relations with
him speaking highly of him as a me
thodical, exact and sober-minded man,
his friends are dumbfounded at the un
usual circumstances of the case.
Henry Cress, a Portland resident, of
23 West Humboldt avenue, called at
the Louvre Restaurant last evening
and said that he had seen Kruse in
Seattle, at the Rathskeller, at 5 P. M.
August 22, the day after Mr. Kruse
telegraphed from Seattle to Mrs. Kruse
In Portland. He said Mr. Kruse was
in the company of a tall, slender man
and also a heavy-set man. ' He simply
noticed Mr. Kruse in passing as tho
party was entering the restaurant and
had no conversation with him. Mr.
Cress returned from Seattle last even
ing. He was surprised when he read
in The Oregonian yesterday morning
the account of Mr. Kruse's disappear
ance. So far as known at present,
Mr. Cress is the last person to have
seen Mr. Kruse in Seattle.
Since sending the telet; ro f rom j
Seattle absolutely no other clew which
might lead to the discovery of- his
whereabouts has been unearthed.
Bauer & Green, his attorneys, say his
dealings were always precise and Dust
nesslike. They have been attorneys
for him for a year and declare they
have never had reason to believe that
his finances were in any but the best
condition. Even were he pressed for
money, they say. they have private as
surance that his credit was such that
he could have had $25,000 or 130,000
from bankers at any time. The officials
at the United States National Bank,
through which Kruse transacted his
business, say his accounts are and have
always been in perfect condition and
that his credit there was of the best.
Holdings Are Large.
Kruse holds considerable property.
His attorneys place the valuation of his
assets at from 175.000 to 1100,000. His
property consists of lots and cottages
at Gearhart Park, a ranch midway Be
tween Portland and Oregon City, his
Interests as lessee in the Belvedere and
In the Louvre, and the amount he ex
pended toward taking over the Carlton,
and various scattered holdings.
Kruse's Interest in the Carlton con
sisted of a contract for a lease from I.
Gevurtz & Sons, which was to have
been taken up Friday. I. Gevurtz &
Sons had leased the building from I.
Lowengart, who owned it and con
structed It, and had contracted to sub
lease It to Kruse, who had made elab
orate plans to conduct the caravansary.
He had planned to quit his Interest in
the Belvedere and the Louvre as soon
as his lease expired, and to devote all
his time to the Carlton. It was his In
tention to by-name the hotel "The Rltz-
Carlton of the Northwest."
Mind May. Be Unbalanced, Is Belief
of Missing Man's Friends.
Mental aberration, which causes him
to wander about the city. Is the reason
of the disappearance of Charles W.
Jones, of the Oregon Hotel, it Is be
lieved by the party that searched for
the missing man yesterday. The private
papers and business affairs of Jones
were thoroughly investigated. Noth
ing was found that would Indicate a
motive for Jones leaving Portland. His

Arthur Evans Wood, who has
been elected Instructor of social
sciences in Reed College, will
leave Portland, Me., for Portland,
Or. tomorrow. For Mr. and Mrs.
Wood this will be virtually a
wedding journey, as they were
married in Chatham Woods Camp
in New Hampshire last week.
Mrs. Wood, whose maiden name
was Julia Bishop, was a student
at Smith College, and later in
structor In physical education at
Bryn Mawr College. They ex

Hotel Contract Lost.
The Gevurtz firm was to furnish the
building at a cost of not less than $35.
000, and Kruse had deposited $15,000 to
bind the contract. This was forfeited
by his failure to take over the lease
last Friday. I. Gevurtz & Sons have ar
ranged to conduct the hotel and open It
next Monday. Phil Gevurtz, manager
of the firm, declares Kruse Is out of
It," and that if he reappears a new deal
' will have to be made, which, he hinted,
might be considered. Mr. Gevurtz says
that up to this time all of his business
dealings with Kruse have been satisfac
tory, and ascribes temporary Insanity
as the cause of the hotel man's disap
pearance.
Kruse formerly owned the entire
Gearhart Park property, but sold most
all of It two years ago to the present
owners, through O. W. Taylor, the
manager. Mr. Taylor says all of his
dealing with Kruse were pleasant, and
that he kept all his agreements to the
letter. He Is mystified by Kruse's
disappearance. Kruse had bought the
property at Gearhart from M. J. Kin
ney, a lumberman with offices in the
Corbett building, six years ago. He
started to develop it, and bad completed
the present large hotel with the ex
ceptton of the interior finishing when
lie disposed of It. Mr. Taylor said he
was not at liberty to make public the
purchase price of the property, but
said all the property was bought for
cash, and that there were no outstand
ing Incumbrances on it, even the hotel
was employed for the past six years,
were also examined and found with
out mistake-
Mrs. Jones recalled yesterday that
her husband acted queerly on the day
of his disappearance, making apparent
ly meaningless remarks and being alto
gether different from his nsual self.
Remarks also made to clerks in the
hotel Tuesday, which were passed over
at the time, were remembered yester
day and are thought to have Indicated
a temporarily unbalanced mind. -
That Jones did not buy bait for his
Intended fishing trip at any of his
customary places was discovered yes
terday. It was also established con
clusively by the searching party that
he boarded a Waverly-Riehmond car.
which passes within one block of his
home, at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning
bound down town, but his actions
after that are unknown. The searchers
expect the conductor of the car, who
must know Jones from his daily trips
to and from home, to come forward
with the. information where Jones
alighted from the car.
It is possible, it was suggested yes
terday, that Jones, if mentally de
ranged, may have gone to the cities on
Puget Sound, where he formerly lived
and where he was largely acquainted.
The searching party has communi
cated the disappearance to men who
knew Jones in Seattle and Tacoma and
await word from' them of his reap
pearance there.
Mrs. D. P. Holt Beaten and Driven
Hysterical by Daring Maltreat
ment When She Declines to Gq
to Wronged Woman.
Because she- resisted an ' attempt to
kidnap her. take her to Oregon City
and force her to perform an illegal op
eration, Mrs. D. P. Holt, a trained
nurse, was Friday night beaten and
driven Into hysteria at Lents, while
her clothes were torn to shreds. The
two men who attacked Mrs. Holt es
capedv in a waiting automobile. Con
stable Hall, of Lents, and private par
ties are following clews.
The two men, whom Mrs. Holt is un
able to describe, approached her some
time ago and. asked her to perform an
illegal operation on. a girl in Oregon
City. When she understood the nature
of the act, she refused.
Mrs. Holt, who lives at Grays Cross
ing, was returning from the home of a
friend near Lents.' She had been left
near Fourth street, in Lents, by her
companion and had started on her way
alone, when she saw the automobile
and the two men coming toward ner.
The men Jumped from the auto and
again proposed that she undertake the
case, promising high pay.
She refused and they seiezd her and
attempted to put her Into the automv
bile. She fought vigorously and, with
her screams, frightened the two men
away after they had torn her clothes
almost from her body and had lacer
ated her flesh. She fell to the ground
when released.
Her moaning brought Mr. and Mrs
E. W. Wilson, of Lents, In front of
whose home the attack occurred, and
they took her into their house and tel
ephoned for a doctor. Dr. J.- H. Mc
Sloy, of Lents, responded and, with
Charles F. Runkel, carried the woman
to his office. Her hysteria was so
great that she was unable to give her
name for several hours after the occur
rence. She was reported much better
late last night.

Manner of Leaving Baffles.
A point which puzzles friends of
Kruse Is that if he left Oregon over
financial or other difficulties he did
not take anything with him. It would
have been easy for him to have ob-
chants, is the proper display of their
goods that the buying public might
know at a glance great diligence and
wisdom had been exercised in the se
lection of style, fabric and model.
"In order that my patrons may have

notice, while he left with little money
on this person, from all that can be
learned. He wore his usual business
suit, and carried no satchel or baggage
of any kind. Another point pointed to
as upsetting the secret departure
theory is that he telegraphed to Mrs.
Kruse from Seattle the evening of his
disappearance. The tall, slender young
man who appeared with Kruse when
he delivered the telegraph message
of Portland's well-dressed men. I have
learned by close observation that it is
characteristic with most men to want
to see these new styles displayed in the
show windows before they arrive at a
decision to make a purchase. In this
manner they are afforded an oppor
tunity to draw their own conclusions.
The prevailing custom of merchants in
the larger Eastern cities is to attract

show windows, and the question arises.

Ranch Home Occupied.
Kruse, of late, made his home at his
ranch between Portland and Oregon
City, and was accustomed to go there
every evening. His domestic relations
are reported to have been pleasant.
The present Mrs. Kruse is his third
wife. He was divorced from his first
wife and also about three years ago
from his second wife, who at the time
pf marrying him was a divoroee. She
dows for the newest creations will only

This week Mr. Stelnbach says that
the Fall styles will be prominently dis
played, which will be in keeping with
the character of merchandise entirely

H. C. Wort-man, Back From Trip,
Says Prosperity of Oregon Me- "
tropolis Is Widely Noted.
That Eastern investors and manu
facturers look upon Portland as the
most substantial city on the Pacific
Coast is the declaration of H. C. Wort
man, of Olds. Wortman & King, who
has Just returned from New York and
other Atlantic Coast cities after a two
months' purchasing trip. Mr. Wort
man says that business conditions in
the East are not as good as they are
in this territory at the present time.
'There Is a general impression in
the East that the Pacific Coast offers
the best field for Investments of any
section In the United States," said Mr.
Wortman. "Eastern Investors are keep
ing in close touch with the situation
here. They know that we are harvest
ing immense crops, that prices for
most of the products will be above the
average and that business generally Is
good. The healthy progress of the
city is making a big impression and
everywhere I went I heard nothing but
good reports about Portland.
"Eastern capital Is seeking Invest
ment in this territory. I think we Can
look -for a considerable investment of
new wealth in Oregon in the next few
years.
"In the East and the Middle West
business conditions are not so en
couraging, especially with the bank
ers, manufacturers and large retailers.
They do not look for the situation to
improve much until after the Presi
dential election. Some of the large
textile mills have curtailed their out
put on account of the unsettled con
ditions. The contrast between con
dltions there and this territory is pro
nounced. I was glad to learn that this
section was entirely free of any sus
picion on the part of investors. The
people of the East are becoming more
interested in the Northwest than ever
before."
JOBS FOUND FOR 3537
CITY EMPLOYMENT OFFICE HAS
SEW AUGUST RECORD.
Proposal Is Now Made That Port
land Establish Pawn Shop for
Aid of Those In Need.
All previous records for furnishing
employment made by the office were
broken In August by the municipal
free employment office, when Jobs
were found for 35S7 persons, of whom
162 were women. Of the positions 3026
were inside the city and 511 outside.
The best previous record was made
made in August. 1910, when the num
ber who secured work through the of
fice was 2997.
Councilman Clyde, chairman of the
Board of Control, Is preparing an ordi
nance for consideration by the City
Council establishing a municipal pawn
shop. The idea has been worked out
successfully in other cities. Frequent
ly those for whom work is found find
It necessary to pawn some article of
value In order to secure funds for tem
porary purposes, and the Idea is to
give them an opportunity' to "soak"
such articles without sacrificing a large
part of their value and paying exorbi
tant rates or interest.
State Labor Commissioner Hoff has
written Chairman Clyde that his depu
ties will be glad to co-operate with the
office. These deputies travel all over
the state, and it Is believed they will
be of material assistance In securing:
positions for the surplus applicants.

notified to vacate the rented quarters
