PRACTICE OF Panel Interrupts Judge Course of Lecture. , in 6 INDICTMENTS RETURNED Y 5 TUT ?! i i mw w iniwry Deputy .District Attorney Mowry Ah Clashes With Jurist About Investigations. oo 12 SB Parole The prevalent Judicial practice of .paroling criminals from the bench was rapted informally by the Mult nomah county grand 'Jury in an ap pearance before Presiding Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday. Judg-e Morrow was lecturing: the grand jurors on the necessity of more prompt indictments of criminals, rec ommending that grand Jury investi gations be Initiated without waiting for the result of a preliminary court nearing. when he was Interrupted by Foreman Rogers of the Jury. "We have been thinking, your hoaor, of getting the Judges together to talk over some things," said Roarers. "Yeah." interpolated M. J. Gray, a grizzled memiber of the panel. "We don't see much use. your honor, in going to all this trouble to indict criminals when you Judges keep on paroling them!" '- Attorney and Judgre Clash. "There Is a good deal in what you fcay, Mr. Grand Juror." replied Judge Morrow. "I think that the parole privilege often is abused, and, per sonally, I am in favor of the abolition of the parole system." A clash between Judge Morrow and George Mowry, deputy district attor ney, assigned to grand Jury investi gationt;. preceded the outbreak con cerning abuses. When the grand Jury arrived to report ix indictments Judge Morrow addressed the body, saying that it had come to his attention that a great many cases, particularly those Involving attacks on women, were not being handled as fast by the grand Jury as they should be, in hia judgment. He asserted that the Jurors should understand that the dietrict attorney 'or his deputies were not in control of the grand jury and that the jurors had a right to demand that cases in which they were interested be brought before them immediately that they were not required to "putter around" with small cases unless they wished. Mowry Klarea L'p. "If. what you say is a criticism of our office," flared up Deputy District Attorney Mowry, "I don't think that the dltrict attorney has any apolo gies to make, or is concerned with what you think of our work with the grand Jury. But if you are saying these things with the Idea of inform ing the grand jury as to Its powers, you are not telling the jurors any thing they don't know already." "Are you in charge of the investi gations being made, or is our office?" demanded Mowry, turning to the Jury. "We are in charge," spoke up sev eral of the jurors. Six indictments were returned by the grand jury, two of which were secret. The other four were in two cases. Jess Bodyston, recently arrested in Bozeman, Mont., on a charge of as saulting and attempting Will Thomas and Mabel Baker in Portland April 19, 1921. was indicted on two counts, each carrying a maximum of life imprisonment. Pnir Shot by Anallnnt. Boydston was said to have admitted that he was the man who accosted the Bakers in woods near their home In the Woodstock district, shooting the man in the arm and the woman in the head. For a time it was doubted that Mrs. Baker would" recover. Boyd ston was alleged to have been an old suitor for the woman, who refused to leave her husband. John Harding, afias Manuel Diel, ar rested in Dunsmuir, Cal., suspected of being the man who held up Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Collins in their home near Bell station on East Seventy second street July 14, shooting Col lins, was indicted also on two counts one charging assault with intent to rob and the other assault and rob bery, being armed with a dangerous weapon. One offense carries no'mini mum, but a maximum penalty of life. The other bears a penalty on convic tion of not less than ten years and a maximum of life. When Harding was arrested jewelry taken from the Collins home was found in his possession. He was posi tlvely identified by Mrs. Melvia Col lins at the county jail as the asdailanl of her husband.

WITH all the qualities of a? three ring circus minus only the prancing steeds and a few big animals, the children of Laurelhurst park staged a festival of fun Friday, which they called "Laurel & Hurst Bros.' Greaest Show on Earth.". The children who patronize the Lau relliurst playground and park were the active participants in the big cir cus, and the mothers and big sisters and grandmothers and aunties lent material aid in fashioning costumes and props. The idea that the festival take the form of a circus originated in the minds of some of the older boys who frequent the playground and. in co operation with Miss Carin Degermark. supervisor of Portland playgrounds. Mrs. Alfred Ehrenclou, director of girls In the L,aurelhurst park; Miss Eleanor Spall, her assistant, and Thiel Sullivan, director of boys' activities at Laurelhurst park, the project was worked out in detail and developed into a novel and diverting entertain ment. The circus marked the final activities of the summer season and was in the nature of an exhibition of work accomplished by the children. Each of the 18 playgrounds will hold 1a similar testival and exhibition and the event at Laurelhurst park was me lurerunner 01 me group. ISO Children- Take Part. One hundred and fifty children took part In "Laurel & Hurst Brjjs.' Great est Show on Earth," ami the children ranged in ages from the toddlers who compose Mrs. Ehrenclous' kindergar ten class, up to the 14-year-old girls who belong to the Loyal Laurelhurst club. The circus opened In regulation style with a grand and spectacular cavalcade in which all the dancers and performers took part. The parade marcned dOTvn the historic 6teps and formed about the platform where the circus proper was held. Troop 40 of the Boy Scouts, with Van Watson, scoutmaster, led the procession, car rying its three flags, and contributed a patriotic spot In the big parade. A band of 30 tiny brown monkeys, the kindergarten children disguised as little simians. danced through a sprightly number, flapping their long, graceful tails and hopping gaily to the music. Then came Johnny Welch as a strong man. with abnormal and surprisingly large muscles and de velopment of figure. Johnny put over a clever comedy turn as the strong man. lifting amazing weights and deftly juggling seemingly heavy ob jects. ' - A dozen clever little folk called b'.ue devils put on a beautiful dance of graceful moods and gay little meanings. The blue devils carried realistic pronged forks and waved fascinating long blue caudal appen dages, the while they merrily danced. A group of four boys, Ted Pope. Tom Bradley, Herbert Calkins and Harold Bevers. put on a clever ar rangement of athletic endeavor in cluding gymnastics, acrobatic arts and work on the horizontal bar. Another gtoup of boys staged a realistic pro gramme of pugilistic enterprise, fea turing as the big event a fight be tween Dempsey and Carpentier, fol lowed by a series of minor "fights. The 'fistic marvels included George Alvarez, Van Watson, Gordon1 Law rence. John Welch. Archie Stewart, Eaward Arndt, Travis Meyers and John Phillips, with Hugh and Jimmy Weich Btagipg the Dempsey-Carpen-tier bout. Abie Cassell was the ref eree. The bigger boys of the play ground were promjnently identified with some of the 'best features in the circus. In one instance a group o( them appeared as clowns under di rection of Gordon Lawrence, billed as "Funny." A misfit clown band of 20 l&as added- a bright comedy feature Seven girls garbed as rag dollies con tributed a clever dance specialty, and a group of potato sacks, each of which ws occupied "by a nice little girl, dance merrily. Rainbow Ilrlsrade Daaees. Seven pretty little maids in vari colored tarlatan formed a Rainbow brigade, dancing about two whirling soloists who impersonated gray clouds. Japanese maids In quaint ki monos and parasols stepped demurely tnrougn a ioik dance, little girls from Holland kicked their wooden heels. aozen sanor lasses danced the gay sailors' hornpipe, and seven of the best O Leary dancers put on a de llghtful exhibition of the well-known game. The older girls of the playground appeared, some as gypsies in colorful attire, dancing to the. tinkling beats of their tambourines, and others as Wild West showgirls, in smart round up atmosphere. The 20 gypsy maids are an members of the Loyal Laurel hurst club, and the Wild West girls are members of the Laurelhurst Ath letic club for girls.

Leonard, acting police Judge during the vacation of Judge Rossman, was inclined to be a bit lenient with the "boys" who appeared before him yesterday. . Hubert Welch, suspected drug ped dler, was one of the last to make his appearance. Hubert, was arrested about a week ago during a raid on a notorious negro dive maintained by "Shake" Walker. At that time he received a suspended sentence. "I've just about exhausted my patience with you." vouchsafed the court as Welch appeared again yes terday. , "You ought to stay here about six months." Welch paled perceptibly as the words were uttered, and a noticeable wobbling was apparent down about the knees. " ' ' "But as long as this is my last day on the bench f am going to give you one more chance," said Leonard. "I will give you a suspended senence of 120 days, but you must be out of town betore 5 o'clock this after noon." No sooner were the words spoken than Welch grabbed frantically at his hat, nearly bowled over Bailiff Ogg during his flight, and ran full speed ahead out of the courtroom door. Policemen saw htm turn down Third street toward the Union station. The courtroom was thrown in an uproar over the prisoners hasty flight, but Welch was caring for the feelings of neither the court nor the police as he hopped off with a speed that would qualify him for almost any Marathon. During his period as acting police judge Mr. Leonard has had some un usual experiences, but his decisions, according to police and attorneys, have been uniformly fair. There was no radical departure from the class of fines and sentences which Judge Rossman has meted out. "It has been a wonderful experi ence, but at the same time there has been a lot of grief," he said. "There SIX SOLOISTS OBTAINED SYMPiroXY ORCHESTRA tiETS CELEBRATED .ARTISTS.
