JUDOS WILL COWSIDEB. .
Judge Hogue met a puzzling problem
this morning when' four little girls
faced him, each charged with larceny.
The matter presented such . difficulties
that the court reserved his decision until
tomorrow. . ' - ; v
The defendants were Jennie Grlock.
aged 14, her sister, Emma, only Julie
Piendl, 13 years old, and Beatrice
Plendl, two years younger. TheX.were
arrested last Thursday afternoon for
stealing a quantity of jewelry from H.
Caswell's 4eweIry store, at 60 Thirl
street. He charged the theft of three
gold rings, valued at $1:69 each, and six
stickpins.'' each' marked 25 cents.' Only
two rings were recovered. -
Mr. Cassell said the girls entered his
place of business, asking to be shown
some rings. He placed a tray on the
counter and the little ones tried them
on, One of them asked him to show
them a tray of rings from the window,
and when his back was turned some of
his jewelry disappeared and the girls
were running out of the store. ,
. The jeweler gave chase and caught
three of the girls, Patrolman Kay catch
ing Emm-GrlockTLwho,4t was-shown,
had thrown away the ting she had. Be
atrice Piendl had the other ring, ' the
third not having been' found. Patrol
man Kay .related the details of the ar
rest and said the smaller Grlock girl had
thrown the ring away.
Jennie Grlock told the court eh did
not understand the meaning of an oath,
and Judge Hogue .said he bfelieved it,
after she had testified that she knew
nothing ' about the theft. Beatrice
Piendl admitted having the ring on her
finger, but said she thought she had re
moved it before leaving the store. She
could not explain why she ran. Emma
Grlock answered the court's questions,
when coaxed by her sisters, by deny
ing all knowledge of the jewelry.
The case presented so many unusual
features that Judge Hogue decided to
take time to considerthematter. .
APPRENTICE BOYS
HAVE DISAPPEARED
Desertions from the ships by appren
tice boys are very rare occurrences, but
three of them have disappeared from the
British ship Ancaias, which is about
ready to sail for the United Kingdom.
Not one of the lads is more than IS
years of age. -and their disappearance
is causing Captain Johnson, master or
the vessel, considerable anxiety.
A careful search of the boarding-
houses and other places frequented by
sailors has failed to locate the missing
youths. If they are not found in a day
or two the probabilities are the ship
will be forced to go to sea without them.
Several conclusions have been ar
rived at by those who have interested
themselves in the matter. One is that
the boys came ashore to celebrate and
havft agooillme'lbef ore l beginning th
long voyage home. Owing to the fact
that the runaways have not been seen
by those searching for. them this theory
Is not held to be very substantial.
Another explanation is that the boys
have secured more congenial employ
ment somewhere near Portland at good
.wages, and intend to start life by he
coming American citizens.
Ship apprentices, it is explained, - al
ways come from good families, and In
variably possess average common school
educations. After serving three or four
years they are given positions as offi
cers, and eventually work their way up
to commanders of vessels. In this re
spect they are entirely different from
the ordinary seamen, who drift about
from one place to another, contented to
remain at the foot of the ladder. The
boys 'from the Ancaias have been with
the ship about It months, and after
serving about that much more time
would have succeeded to good positions.
, The Ancaias will complete her cargo
today, and it was the intention to have
her leave down the river tomorrow.
Whether she will be delayed on account
of the unusual action of the appren
tices has not yet been determined. Har
bormaster Ben Blglln is hopeful of find
ing them,. : -
Parker Thompson was arrested this
afternoon by Patrolman Grlf Roberts at
Third and Couch streets as a deserter

WILL URGE MANY
The special commission appointed to
Investigate theatres and public buildings
with reference to danger from fires or
riots, held a special session at the city
hall last evening and determined upon
the principal features of their report,
which will be presented for the con
sideration of the city council at to
morrow afternoon's session. .
A careful investigation leads to the
conclusion that the report will make
some pretty scathing assertions, but the
exact subjects which aroused the com
mission's displeasure are only a matter
of conjecture.
It Is certain that several recommen
dations will be made about the theatres,
the principal one of which will insist
upon the extension of aisles through
the center of each playhouse from the
entrance to the orchestra pit. This fea
ture Is -embodied, in the clause which
makes it mandatory to have no seat re
moved farther than six seats from an
aisle. In the majority of the playhouses
the center aisle extends to the loges
and there stops.
The condition of the curtains and. fire
proof qualities will also be discussed.
The committee may recommend an
amendment to the existing ordinances
to cover this subject. Since the com
mission was appointed ' the managers
have exerted themselves to Install fire
proof facilities, add extra exits, erect
water tanks and place their places in
a thoroughly safe condition and this
will be the subject of (comment In the
report. - ' -'"

AROUSE JUDGE HOGUE'S BUSPl,
moss. ' ' . : - -
Four detectives searched the city with
the victim of a robbery for two days
but made no arrests. Their stories of
the search conflict In Important particu
lars. 80 marked was this conflict that
Municipal Judge Hogue mad some
sharp inquiries this morning before he
fined Lulu Llewellyn and Orace Reed
(colored) $10 as vagrants.
The testimony aroused the suspicion
that Lulu Llewellyn had knowledge of
the robbery of a Seattle business man,
who lost $100 last Friday afternoon In
a trip through the north end.
The women live on second street north,
between Everett and Flander streets.
Last Friday night a Seattle man re
ported to the police that he had been
robbed by a woman. From his descrip
tion the police suspected Lulu Llewellyn.
The victim had five $20 bills wrapped.
Inside of a number of $5 and $10 green
backs. The twenties were cleverly re
moved and the roll replaced in his purse,
minus the $100. He did not discover his
loss- until- lie went to the -depot several -hours
later. .
Detective Frank Snow and Detective
Kerrigan were sent out to investigate
the matter. They told Judge Hogue
that the Seattle man did not know where
he had been robbed. They said they
visited Lulu Llewellyn and Orace Reed,
but the Seattle citizen could not identify
them. Therefore they made no arrests.
Judge Hogue had been informed that
the victim had described the thief, but
the officers could not find her. Detec
tives Carpenter and Relslng, who toured,
the city Saturday night with the victim '
tmmttempt loflnd the womenr salcT
that they could not locate the suspects.
They said that the Seattle man told
them that Lulu Llewellyn had taken his
purse.
"I am willing to stretch a point." sail
Judge Hogue, "In 'touch' cases, buc In
this instance the evidence Is too slim to
hold these women for robbery. - But I
would suggest that the victim be noti
fied that these women are known, and If
he wishes to prosecute he can come
here."
Although four detectives had worked
on the case, no arrests were made until
Patrolman Ortf Robert swore out war
rant charging the women with vag
rancy, 'upon which, they were arrested
yesterday.'
. The detectives say they do not know
the name of the Seattle victim. They
say It Is on file at police headquarters.
Chief Hunt say that he does not
know the identity of the man robbed.
' "Ask the detectives, they know." he
suggested.. -
" I'm not going to take any chahces
since that false Imprisonment suit,"
said the chief, explaining why he had
not held the Seattle man a a witness.
E. C. Lewis recently sued for $15,000
and secured $60 damage against Hunt
for false. Imprisonment, t'
