Nab Trio in Bedroom; No
Resistance Is Made.
Three men alleged to be the high
waymen who murdered Jasper New
ton Burgess, state highway commis
sioner, and George E. Peringer, both
at Pendleton, Or., during the holdup
of Claremont tavern, on the Linnton
road, Friday night, were captured
yesterday afternoon at 163 West
Emerson street, in a house said to
be the headquarters of a gang of ex
convicts.
One of the prisoners has confessed
that he and the other two were the
bandits. Three rifles and six re
volvers were found in the house, and
the police say they recovered a large
portion of .the jewelry and money
taken from the holdup victims at the
tavern. The men also are believed to
be the ones who robbed the Idle Hour
poolhall, Third and Alder streets, on
November 15, and obtained more
than $4000 worth of diamonds and
cash.
Two Charged With Murder.
The prisoners accused of the
murder are: James Ogle, an ex
convict from Deer Lodge, Mont.,
penitentiary; Walter Banaster, alias
"Dutch" Herman, a cook, 23 years
old, and David Smith, a machinist,
23 years old. Several other residents
of the same house are held in jail
pending investigation.
Ogle made a confession to Deputy
District Attorney Deich, in which he
said he had, while intoxicated, agreed
to the holdup, and had been held
practically a prisoner by the other
two from that moment until the ar
rest. Charges of murder have been
filed against Smith and Banaster.
Robbers Steal Rowboat.
The police last night filed a charge
of assault and robbery, being armed
with a dangerous weapon, against
Ogle. Mr. Deich says the charge
will be changed to murder.
According to the confession, the
bandits planned the robbery the
night before it was committed. Fri
day night they took an automobile
from their headquarters at 163 West
Emerson street to the east side of
the St. Johns ferry and crossed the
.river on the last ferry which made
the passage that night. Before en
tering the tavern, they stole a row
boat to insure their passage back.
They deserted the boat after reach
ing the east side early yesterday,
and went home in their automobile.
The arrest yesterday was the re
sult of a clew obtained by Inspectors

19 KILLED IN PANIC '
AT DANCE HALL FIRE
STAIKS GIVE WAYIXDER RUSH
OF STRUGGLING CROWD.
Many Other Bodies Thought to Be
in Ruins of Structure at
Ville Platte, La.
VILLK PLATTE, La.. Nov. 22.
Nineteen persons are known to have
perished tonight when fire- in a build
ing here, where a dance was in prog
ress, caused a panic. Many other bod
ies are believed to be still in the struc
ture.
Most of those kiJled were wouien
and children. The dance was on the
second floor of the building and the
fire started on the ground floor. A
struggle to escape followed. Some
estimates placed the total casualties
at 50.
The identified dead:
Miss Anna Roberio, Mrs. Octave
Barre, Miss Ktta Barre, Miss Lena
Guillory, Mr. and Mrs. Hariey Soiieu
and daughter, Andre "Vidrene. Mrs.
Zelma Johnson, Culver West, Berna
dat Fotenot and Miss O. Bullion. Other
bodies recovered have not been identi
fied. A narrow stairway leading from
the dancehall became a death trap
when it collapsed before half of the
crowd had escaped. Several of those
who were cut off perished when the
building collapsed, although some
were rescued.
Explosion of an oil heater in a dry
goods store on the first floor of the
building started the fire. The dancers,
many of whom had come from the
rural districts of Evangeline parish,
were upstairs in the building, but did
not heed the alarm until the dance
floor was in danger.
"When the dancers realized the-dan-ger
a mad rush for safety jammed
the stairway. Men, women and chil
dren screamed and fought as the
stairway crumpled beneath them.
Many were hurled into the flames.
Most of the bodies had not been
removed from the ruins tonight.
Fathers and mothers, many of them
able to speak only French, from the
parish countryside, famed because of
Evangeline's romance, wandered in
the streets searching for their sons
and daughters.
It was estimated that more t'.ian 100
young people wer? at the dance and
that less than half escaped. Red
Cross aid has arrived from several
points.
Many of the victims were of the
most prominent families here.
Among the known injured is Mayor
Vigrine.

"Dutch' Herman, alias Walter Ban
aster, one of the four men under ar
rest, is the slayer of one of the men
who were killed at Claremont tavern
according to the signed confession
made by James Ogle, who admits that
he took part in the robbery.
When asked who did the actual
shooting. Ogle first said that he did
not know, but later said that he
heard "Dutch" say, "I had to kill one
of those fellows because he tried to
pull a gun on us."'
According to the confession made
by James Ogle to Deputy District At
torney Richard Deich and Captain of
Inspectors Circle, the other two prin
cipals in the hold-up were strangers
to him until Thursday night, when, he
says, he met them on Burnside street.
Trio Plan Robbery.
Ogle says he came to Portland from
Tacoma a few days ago and that he
left Tacoma at the time of the "wob
bly trouble" about October 25 or 26.
After meeting "Dutch" Herman, also
known as Walter Banaster, and David
Smith, the trio went to a boarding
house, where the robbery of the Clare
mont tavern was planned.
Ogle asserted that the reason Clare
mont was selected f or- the robbery
was because both Herman and Smith
said there was sure to be a large
party out there with plenty of peo
ple in attendance who had money
and valuables.
The confession shows that . the
bandits rode in an automobile to
the ferry landing in St. Johns, where
they parked the machine and took
the last ferry to Linnton. Before
going to the tavern. Smith is said
to have located a rowboat which
was cached to be used in making
the get-away following the robbery.
Ogle Covers Gnetti.
Ogle says that he was stationed in
the ballroom where he covered the
guests while his two companions
searched and robbed them. He said
that he did not witness the shooting
of Burgess and Peringer, bue heard
the shots, although he says he was so
excited that he did not know the exact
number of shots fired.
4 Upon leaving the tavern Ogle says
that they forced the taxicab driver
Inside of the hall tnd then made their
escapta by going to the rowboat, row
ing across the river, taking the au
tomobile and driving to within three
or four blocks of Murphy's house.
Kern Weakens Ogle.
The entry into Murphy's home is
said to have befen made by the ban
dits through the basement window,
Ogle stated that he weakened when
he learned that two men had been
killed and that the other two bandits
took, his two small guns from him,
in order that he might not escape. He
says they discovered that he had
weakened and warned him that 25
friends of Herman would be on h&nd
In the afternoon to whisk him away
out of danger.
Before the officers arrived at Mur
phy's home Ocle says that a division
of the money taken in the robbery
was made, and that he got about
9130 as his share. He said that he
did not know how much money was
taken, as he was not present in the
.room where the division was made.

TAFT KILLS THREE

Workman Also Loses Life When
Building Is Razed Defective
Boiler Believed Cause.
NEWPORT, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.)
The pdwmill boiler of the mill
owned by G. S. Parmlee & Son at
Taft, Or., on Siletz bay, exploded at
P. M yesterday, killing three and
injuring two.
The dead are Mrs. NannL Parmlee,
her son, Hoyt Parmlee, and Jesse G.
Farrin. A. Arlinger and J. Arlinger
were badly injured.
A person who brought the news to
this city says that the cause of the
explosion had not been ascertained
when he left there this morning. The
mill waa a total wreck.
It is reported that the boiler was
condemned two years ago.
When the explosion occurred. G. S.
Parmlee and his son, Hoyt, were lac
ing a belt and were standing within
two feet of each other. The son was
killed and the father escaped without
a ecratch. Farrier was blown 100 feet
and his face was badly crushed by
a flying piece of metal Mrs. Parmlee
had just stepped into the room when
the boiler burst. She waa thrown
against a wall with every bone in
her body broken and the flesh was
scalded off her left side. Death was
instantaneous in all three cases.
. The injured men were badly bruised
about their heads, but with proper
care will recover.
The mill had not been running for
several month? and the boiler had
been fired up but a few hours when
the explosion occurred. Owing to the
bad condition of the roads at this
time of the year it will be a hard
matter to transport caskets to Taft
and -may, In fact, prove impossible.
The local undertaker left for that
place this evening by auto, but it is
doubtful if he car. get through with
out walking a good part of the way.

the miners to defy the law and the
secret of their attitude is seen in the
defiant manifesto issued by the Amen
lean Federation of Labor in this city
on November 9. the day after Judge
Anderson issued his restraining or
der. That manifesto, which was
given out by President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor,
read:
"We pledge to the miners the full
support of the American Federation

and citizenship to give like indorse

WALLACE, Idaho. Nov. 22. (Spe

fresh cave-in, imprisoning two rescu

These men have come again into touch
with their families, who had already
begun to mourn them as dead.
Through a sterilized galvanized iron

lowered to lift the gloom that has en
shrouded them for seven long days,
and 20 yards of winding silk, tonight
will be lowered that they may sleep
warm of body, us well as cheered in
heart at the certainty of rescue.
The expectation of the mine offi
cials in charge of the rescue work is
that from four or five days to possi
bly two weeks may yet elapse before
the men can hope to see the light of
day above ground.
Gtrant and Sayko say they conserved
the lunch carried into the mine and !
had been only three days without'
food when reached.

Carl Lodell's educated right toe
pumped two beautiful place kicks
squarely between the posts on Mult
nomah field yesterday afternoon and
Oregon State Agricultural college
whipped Washington State college 6
to 0.
While Lodell's mighty right hoof
was piling up enough points for the
surprise victory, his Aggie team
mates were putting up one of the
most stubborn defensive games ever
seen in Portland. 1
With the loss Washington State
college's chances for the Pacific coast
intercollegiate championship vanished
like a vision and their fond hopes for
the Pasadena trip faded away like
moonlight gently switching into
darkness. It marked the Corvallis
crowd's eighth victory in the 11
games played since the two schools
established athletic relations, and was
the first conference win for the bat
tling Beavers in two years, or since
the day that Kansas Bill Hargiss took

The former Jefferson High school

Approximately 7500 persons turned
out to see Portland's final intercol
legiate game or the season. Perfect
football weather greeted the warriors
and the field favored the crimson and
gray, who greatly excelled on the
offensive. Between halves about 500
Aggie students serpentined about the
field led by their band, with the
Washington State college band, un
accompanied by a rooting section,
putting on its own little rooting
j stunt.
The Oregon Aggies line held like
a store wall in the pinches. When
pres.sed its power seemed even much
greater than did the Cougar line
against Oregon two weeks ago. Both
teams fought with desperation and the
battle bordered on the rough at times,
the men tackling hard and asking
nor giving no quarter.
Aggies Hold Klvc Time.
Five times did Washington State
college seriously threaten to score
and five times did the herculean ef

terrific onslaughts of the Cougar
backfield. The first -quarter ended
with the ball on O. A. C's 13-yard

the Washington men worked the pig
