LEGE:, Corvallis, Or., June 6. (Spe

Hazel Irwin, central figure in one
of Oregon's most notorious murder
trials and inmate of the state pent
tentiary since September 25, 1912, i
free. News of her parole reached
Portland yesterday, though the wo
man left the prison at Salem on June
1 and has since been with her par
ents in southern Oregon.
Miss Irwin was convicted of man
slaughter for her part in the slaying
of Ray Wallace of Portland, and sen
tenced by Circuit Judge John P. Kav
anaugh to an indeterminate sentence
of from one to 15 years. She served
approximately eight years.
The report that Miss Irwin was at
liberty came as a distinct surprise to
local officials, who had not been
..asked by the state parole board for
any recommendations in the matter.
Though customary to request a report
from the district attorney concerning
the case and a recommendation from
the committing magistrate before
granting paroles, neither procedure
was followed in this case.
Tanner Partner In Crime.
Miss Irwin shared with Willard
Tanner, who is still serving a 15-year
sentence at Salem, responsibility for
the murder of Wallace. Though Tan
ner disclaimed any part in the crime
and was tried separately, he was
convicted of manslaughter.
' The affection of Tanner, who Is
said to have come from a. well-to-do
family in Chicago, for Miss Irwin
persisted through long years in the
penitentiary and resulted In one of
the most remarkable incidents in the
history of the Salem institution. A
little more than a year ago Tanner,
who was then a trusty, disappeared.
Nearly three weeks later he was dis
covered in the room of Miss Irwin in
the women's quarters of the peni
tentiary. Both had been model pris
oners up to that time, but they were
denied many privileges after that oc
currence. Early on the morning of June 19,
1912, Miss Irwin induced Wallace,
then night manager for a Washing
ton street restaurant, to enter her
apartments at 603 Alder street, and
attempted to persuade him to drink
some beer, which the evidence at the
subsequent trial indicated had been
drugged. When Wallace refused to
drink the liquor it is alleged that the
woman, according to a pre-arranged
agreement with Tanner, kissed htm
and placed her arm about his neck
Man Felled With Bolt.
The couple then stepped backward.
It was charged, and Tanner walked
out from behind a curtain where he
had been hiding and struck Wrallace
a blow on the head with a bolt. VY al
lace dropped to the floor dead.
It was charged by the prosecuting
officials that Miss Irwin and Tanner
were of the opinion that Wallace
arried considerable money, and it
was for the purpose of robbing him
that he was lured to the woman's
apartment and killed. As it happened
-Wallace had only 40 on his person
".I Prison officials say Miss Irwin
toiled practically every day during
her years of confinement and the
decoration features of the rooms as
signed to the women in the prison
fully attest her handiwork. She de
lighted in doing fancy work and
crocheting.
- When informed of her parole, of
which she had no previous knowledge.
Miss Irwin broke down and wept.
..She came of respectable parents of
Salem, but left her home at an early
age. According to Joseph L Ham
mersly, present chief deputy district
attorney, she went to California and
became an active figure in the life of
the notorious Barbary Coast. It was
there she met Tanner, who was a
soldier stationed at the Presidio. Tan
ner deserted from the army and came
to Portland with Miss Irwin, living
with her ostensibly as husband and
wife in this city.

Investigation of the wooden ship
building industry throughout the Co
lumbia river district is now under
way 'by the department of justice, it
was learned yesterday through au
thoritative sources. The federal grand
jury, which convenes Monday, how
ever, will not be called upon to take
up the inquiry.
Federal officials would not say
whether this lack of impending grand
Jury action is due to failure to obtain
any evidence which might warrant a
continuation of the investigation or
whether the official probe ia being
delayed until department of justice
operatives have continued their pre
liminary inquiry.
Records Being Examined.
Examination of the records of all
local wooden shipbuilding plants
which constructed vessels for the
United States shipping board is being
made by the same group of depart
ment of justice operatives who have
been here for three months conduct
ing an investigation of steel ship
building plants.
These agents, under the leadership
of George Wheeler of Baltimore, first
came to Portland early in March and
have been inquiring into all lines of
shipbuilding activity since the protte
into the affairs of the Northwest
Steel company and the Columbia River
Shipbuilding corporation was halted
more than a month ago through
failure of the federal agencies to
obtain possession of the records and
documents of these two corporations.
Most of the records and documents
now being examined are a part of the
official records of the Emergency
Fleet corporation. This department
has duplicate copies of a considerable
portion of the records of the ship
building plants so far as their deal
ings with the government are- con
cerned, and a thorough inquiry, it is
said, is being conducted along these
lines.
The investigation into the wooden
branch of the local shipbuilding pro
gramme is said to have started imme
diately after the two local shipbuild
ing plants won out in the first round
of their legal battle to keep their
records and documents out of the
hands of the grand jury. The grand
cided imnetuH in the eastern business
sent eggs here to 40 and 41 cents
wholesale today. The Tacoma egg
market is developing rapidly, one
firm alone sending thousands of cases
monthly to outside brokers and com
mission men. Poultry farms in the
Puyallup and adjacent valleys have
increased ten-fold in the last two
years, produce men say. Most of
these poultry raisers are working on
a large scale with modern equipment.

NEWPORT. Or., June 5. (Special.)
Newport and Toledo port commis
sions will hold a Joint meeting Tues
day, either at Toledo or Newport, to
consider granting a bonus of $30,000
to the Miami Construction company
to complete the south jetty of Yaquina

The original estimate of the entire
cost of both Jetties was $836,000. of
which the government was to pay
half and the two ports 1208,000 each.
Since that time prices have advanced
so that the present estimate is $1,300,
000. The port commissions have al
ready given an additional $50,000 to
the Miami Construction company, and
now they will decide whether to give
another bonus.

city almost a month, most of the

western district division of supply

formation that the division would as
sume general purchasing duties for
vessels of the United States shipping
board, instead of its functions being
restricted to the sale of equipment
and material remaining from the ship
construction programme.
At Washington the general features
of the selling campaign the division
has carried on for almost a year were
considered and many new details were
discussed in the interest of furthe
expediting the movement of surplu
property. In assuming the added
work of purchasing, Mr. Yoakum's
force will have to do with assem
bling fuel for the ships, both oil and
coal, and. if imperative, insure bunk
ering facilities. The purchasing sec
tion will be represented on Puget
sound, at Portland and at San Fran

maintains offices in the interest of its
sales.
Previously the division of supply
and sales has had to do with affairs
of the emergency fleet corporation.

General ship stores, equipment and
all such purchases will be made. De
