"But If they should cross to Mexico?" ; "V.'e can extradite .them. No part of the world Is safe for such fugitives." Several safety apots where extradition treaties are not effective were pointed out to the government agent, .but at each suggestion he simply winked and Inti mated 'that neither McKlnley nor Miss 'Ware would ever rbach one. of those 1 places. "They can never get out Of this coun try, that is, not If we know It," he de clared. McKinley's attorneys say he has no wish to leave the country. L. H.

Mr. Tarpley is now preparing a suit for McKtnley against Clyde Lloyd and he said he would file the papers In a few days. The timber land cruiser, he said, was called to Denver on business on Thurs day, and before leaving he told his friends of his destination. Of Miss Ware he knew nothing. At Miss Ware'a hotel It -waa learned that she had left for Eugene a week before her departure for Denver, ostensibly for a visit to her family. Mr. Tarpley s brother. Dan W. Tarpley. is an attorney and a bonds man for Miss Ware, but he is out of the city today and his opinion as to her mysterious trip with McKlnley to Den ver could not be ascertained.

The management announcea many clever performers on the program, and It would seem that. the Empire will take no backward steps. Featured as 'head lines are the muBical grotesque, Del phlno & Delmora. This duo with the uncanny names have not previously ap peared in Portland, and their act Is re plete with .novelties, harmony and hi' larlty. Many original electrical effects will be Introduced and altogether the act Is well entitled to the place of honor on any program. Devaney and Allen, the knock-about comedlana, are a pair of black-face ar tists whose work Is most amusing. They will be lded In their laudable task of making! the Empire audiences gay by eucn run apeclallsta aa Woodford and Marlboro: Mexlas and Mexlas, the clown and his dog, and many others. Arthur Hahn. the great Australian basso pro fund o, has been retained for another week, as have the famous brothers Budd, the laughable gymnasts. This week will be the last opportunity to see Raymond and Clark, the care-banjshers from Weber and Fields In New York.

District Attorney Manning, ShoriT Storey and other county, city and precinct officers, who are affected by the stattite. The claim of the plain tiffs Is that they have been conducting a sailor boarding-house business, and that under the new law they have been refused a license. The refusal of the commissioners to grant such license will force the plaintiffs out of business, and to prevent such act they ask for a restraining order based on several grounds. First, that the law generally Is' unconstitutional; second, that it grants certain privileges and Immuni ties to citizens; third, that Herbert Hol man was disqualified from holding office ac commissioner by reason of having accepted the office of State Senator. For these reasons the plaintiffs ask that the board be ordered to Issue them license as sailor boarding-house keepers.
