GirfcBoth z : Parent and' Children Disappear , Gladys Partridge, aged fight years, and Roland Partridge, aged three year, Jeve been absent from their home at ; lit Third street since 10 o'clock last Saturday morning. Their mother, Mrs. 1 U -Partridge, has not heard of them V since although thai? loss was reported ' to the police,- Saturday night Mrs. ..' Partridge is of the opinion that the I children were kidnaped by her former husband, who, she thinks, will attempt ' i to Uke them , to bis -former home Is ., England. Ji ., i Mrs. : Partridge obtained a dlvoree from her. husband last November. At that time there was an agreement made 'that the father might see the children once' each week. He has been in the i habit of calling Saturday and accom Danylng the - children to the Seventh Day Adventlsta' church on East Everett ' and Eleventh streets. Last Saturday he took Hbls -children- to .church, leaving ' there about 11 o'clock. This Is the .last that the mother has heard from , them. 1 She is broken hearted with grief. ; "Partridge has often said that he would take the children back to his home In England." said the mother this mora. . ing. "I believe that be has taken tnera to. Canada and from there will attempt . to -take them to , England. - I reported (he matter to the pollc) last Saturday Sunday he would not be able , to do much. "This remark seemed very strange to ma. for I could not aee why he oou not do as much on Sunday as any other day.

Hunt and asked him to do all lie could to help me find my' children before Partrldgewould have an oppor. .unity to get out' of the city. The Chief ald that owing to the fact that It was ; 'i ii ; ... fv GLADTS PARTRIDGE. after I reported that the children had disappeared. Detective Hartman Is now working on the case, and I think that if anything can- be done now he -rill do It. But if Partridge has taken them away ha has been able to get a big start" The girl was dressed In a blue dress, gray coat a short gray Jacket and a white corduroy cap; the little boy wore red suit "Roland looks as though ho was nearly nve years old," said Mrs. Partridge, "and his suit vat made' for a 9-year-old boy." Partridge Is a carpenter. He Is a typical Englishman. He Is described ss being I feet 11 Inches tall, dark brown hair, sandy' mustache, blue eyes and weighs about 148 pounds, He la 81 years old. ' - . Partridge sold r Ills house and lot In Center addition Friday morning last and In tha afternoon of the same day drew 1800 out of a local . bank. Detective Hartman, detailed on the case by Chief Of 'Police Hunt -has ascertained these facts. It Is believed by the police that Partridge carefully planned the t abduc tion, and that he had everything ready for quick flight' from this city. That It will be most difficult to capture him Is agreed by the Officers, as by this time it Is thought he Is undoubtedly in an other state. - . -.- ', ;'; .rA-- --" The statement that I am trying to defeat the annexation of Mount -Tabor and Montavllla becauee I am a Demo crat and am afraid of the Republican vetea of those two suburbs If the most absurd thing I ever heard of," said Chairman L. Zimmerman, of the spe cial committee of, the city council on annexation. "The real and only reason I oppose it Is because It would. In my Judgment, Impose a tax on the heavy property owners of Portland that would be unjust to them. " The Taxpayers' league Is Investigate log the matter at present and until they make a report to me I will not even call a meeting of the committee. This Is not a question of whether the cltlsens of Mount Tabor and Montavllla want to be annexed; It Is a question of whether the cltlsens of Portland want to annex them. And until I know how they stand. I will take no action whatever. If we were to annex these suburbs, we could not realise enough money In 10 years to . pay for the laying of water mains there. The people of the suburb will want -all the benattts accruing from annexation, and it Is the Portland tax payers who will have to foot tha bills. For that reason they should be given an. opportunity to present their views. As haa been previously published, a large majority of the residents of the two suburbs -concerned In the proposed annexation ' strongly favor the plan, and the argument has been put forth by them that all Improvements that would be made would be borne by the property owners there. Instead of by those In Portland proper. - The question will be voted on at the June election, tf it Is not killed In ths city council. It must have a two-thirds' vote to carry.
