Crime conditions in California
elties are appalling- and beyond th
control of the police, according ' to
Mayor Baker, who has returned from
a tour of California, where he mad
a careful study of police methods in
to sue In various cities and towns.
"Portland Is experiencing little
crime In comparison to other coast
ettlee," the mayor stated. "Chief of
Police Jenkins and the entire depart
ment are entitled to much credit for
the earnest effort being made to
protect this city from crime.
"The crime conditions in Los
Angeles are terrible," continued the
mayor.- "Criminals axe operating on
the main ' thoroughfares In broad
daylight. ; Individuals are employing
watqhmen to guard their homes. It
Is unaafe to leave an automobile un
guarded In front of a home in Los
Angeles, for It would be stripped Is

The worst conditions prevail on
the highways from Los Angeles to the
beaches, which have been relieved
Somewhat by the stationing of auto
mobiles loaded with police officers
with shotguns at various points along
the highways.
"The police department In Los An
geles is Inadequate to cope with the
situation. The city has grown so
rapidly and covers such a wide area
that it is Impossible to give the city
the protection necessary.
"Every California city is faced with
similar conditions. The problem of
financing the municipal operations of
the various cities has grown to be
tremendous and difficult.
"In San Francisco Mayor Rolph was
ordered to bed by his physicians while
I was in that city. He Is almost a
nervous wreck because of the crime
conditions prevailing, together with
the threatening strikes and other
problems of similar magnitude.
200 Tangs Flee City. ,
"I discussed the crime wave In San
Francisco, which broke loose about
aeven weeks ago, with Chief of Police
O'Brien of that city. He informed me
that in all his police experience,
which Includes many, many years, he
had seen nothing which equalled the
crime wave San Francisco is now ex
periencing. When the Santa Rosa
lynching of gangsters occurred, I was
told that fully 200 toughs affiliated
with the gang implicated in the How
ard street crime fled from San Fran
Cisco, drifting In all directions. Upon
receiving this information I wired to
.- Chief of Police Jenkins warning him
' - ,- of a possible influx of these gang
' ' sters."
- Crime conditions in Pan Francisco
and neighboring cities, the mayor
states, are made worse by the fact
' iiat the criminals have five or six
.-' cities in which to operate. They also
, ' are accentuated by the fact that the
- - . . majority of criminals are utilizing
high power cars in which to operate
Police Forces Inadequate.
-! "The majority of police departments
. i y have inadequate equipment, and as a
- ! 'i result it Is difficult to handle the
V . I situation. Tou cannot chase a man
-,"y.J In a high-powered car by using a
k norse ana uuggj, anu a pairumiau
I on a beat is less effective than a
one-horse shay under present crime
conditions."
Eighty per cent of the criminals
now operating, according to the
mayor, are youths between the ages
of 17 and 20 years. The old hard
ened criminal is in the minority -to
day. he finds.
Berkeley proved to have the most
efficient police system that came
under the observation of Mayor
Baker. So Impressed was the mayor
with the success obtained through
the use of the system Installed by
Chief Vollmer of that city that Chief
of Police Jenkins and an efficient
officer will be detailed to Berkeley
to study the system for the purpose
of applying it to the Portland de
partment.
Seattle, Taenia to Be Studied.
While in Seattle and Tacoma Mon
day, Mayor Baker plans to inspect
the police departments of these two
cities, after which he will have Im
portant Information concerning the
conduct of every police department
from San Diego to Seattle.
"I have learned much new about
police work as the result of my Jour
ney south." said Mayor Baker. "One
cannot learn how to operate a bureau
auch as the police department with
out finding out what other similar
departments are doing. The Portland
department can be improved, of tbiJ
there is no doubt. But yet I fed
pleased- over the efficiency shown by
the department and know that Port
land need not be ashamed of our po
lice bureau and its operation In cop
lng with crime. If the men of thei de
partment will continue to "hit the

since I left the city, I will be pleased.'

Mrs. Jessie Grblch, 373 East Third
street South, said yesterday that the
girl told her a policeman had ordered
her to report at the courthouse for
medical treatment. Mrs. Grblch did
not see the man and thinks the girl
explained her absence that way to
conceal the fart that she was running
away. Other neighbors report that
they saw Edna in company with May
Parker the day the two girls disap
peared. Both Mr. and Mrs. Vennum do not
believe that the girl's disappearance
had anything to do. with the fact that
the Johnson girl had disappeared.
They admitted they did not know
where she was, but expressed no fear
as to her safety.
"She can take care of herself any
where," Mr. Vennum stated.

Chairman of Carnival Auxiliary
Says Hornet's Xest Will Be
Turned Loose Upon Board. .
A demand for $25,000, emphasized
by a storm of publjo criticism, ls(
about to descend upon the heads of
the county commissioners, according
to EL J. Jaeger, chairman of the Rose
Festival auxiliary, who is leading
the fight to obtain that sum from the
county to aid In staging the famous
show. ..
"No two commissioners can thwart
the public will by standing out
against the granting of that money,"
Mr. Jaeger said yesterday, referring
to the actions of Rufus Holm an and
Ralph W. Hoyt, county commission
ers, who have vetoed the proposed ap
propriation. -. . I
The sum of 130.000 originally was
asked from the county by the festival
board. When the commissioners denied
this request the sum was halved and
aid to the extent of $15,000 was asked.
When this sum also was refused the
members of the Rose Festival auxil
lary withdrew with dark hiits about
future moves m the controversy.
Now comes the next step taken by
Mr. Jaeger, when he asserts that the
auxiliary positively will not take no
for an answer. The "ante" also
raised from $15,000 to $25,000 with the
information added gratis that a regu
lar hornets' nest is to be let loose on
the two commissioners until they
consent to the arrangement. The
third commissioner, A. A. Muck, al
ready has signified his approval of
the appropriation.. In a statement Is
sued yesterday Mr. Jaeger said:
''All of the big clubs of the city
and nearly all prominent citizens are
squarely behind us in this fight.
the county commissioners can spend
$85,000 to build a road to Mount Hood,
in Clackamas county, they surely can
aid an enterprise that has become na
tional in its scope, reputation and
character. Thousands of Americans
have come to look on the Rose Festi
val as one of the big institutions of
the country and we cannot let lt lapse
for one single year.
The new board of directors for the
Rose Festival will be elected Wednes

Hiccoughs, the same variety which
