Them in His Possession.
A S reault of the discovery at the

penitentiary to serve a sentence of
from ens to five years for burglary.
Jailer Mitchell said that while there
was nothing to Indicate that Gordon
had made the saws he did not want to
take any ehancee on his escsping.
Gordon has a long criminal record,
and enjoys the reputation of being able
te pick any look ever made. His first
sentence was for one year la the peni
tentiary at Salem. Soon after his re
lease lie was sentenced to serve a gear
In the county Jail for lerceny. While
serving his Jail sentence he escaped

tured at Albany. November 2, 1104, be
made a key In his call aad escaped
from the Jail here, taking five prison
ers With him.
Within two months hs had been sen
tenced to a year In the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge, Montana. Immediately ar
ter hie release from the Montana peni
tentiary he was brought back to Port
Ian to Serve the unexpired term of his
sentence. He was released from the
county Jail here lest June.
A short time ago he waa arrested
again, charged with stealing 1.000 keya,
a case of locksmith's tools, saws, drills,
braces, revolvers, a rifle and other ar-
1 tides from the - shop owned by I
Goldenberg at 14 Taylor street. He
I pleaded not guilty, but afterward
changed his plea to guilty and was sen
tenced to the penitentiary.
That fellow can get out of Jell with
a pocket knife and a piece of hard
wood," declared Deputy Sheriff Frank
Beatty this morning. Jsller Mitchell
declared after he put Gordon In close
confinement that he would know where
to find htm when the guards want te
tart for Salem with him.
DOUGLAS MAY AGAIN RUN
FDR GOVERNOR
May Be Urged by Democrats of
Masachusetts to Make
a the Race.
William U Douglas, ex-governor ef
Maeaachusetts. may again be called to
snake .the. gubernatorial race oa the
Democratic ticket In his state.
Mr. Douglas, who Is staying at the
Portland hotel, has received word that
John B. Mora a. the candidate selected
by the Democratic convention, may re
fuse the nomination, and has been asked
If he would accept the honor.
When asked as to what his stand
would be In event Moran should refuse
te run and the nomination were offered
to him, Mr. Douglas said:
"Really, 1. do not know. I have given
no time or thought to politics and am
not prepared to say Just what I would
do in such an emergency."
Nothing more would the millionaire
hoe manfacturer say upon the subject,
and bis actions would be beet Illus
trated by the threadbare saw, "This la
so sudden."
That he did not use this expression
is taken by many to mean that he la
seriously considering what he will do
In the matter, and may eventually cut
abort his western trip to take up once
more the oudgels of political speech In
the campaign Mr tariff reform.

BARBER COMPANY GETS
TWO PAVING CONTRACTS
To the Barber Asphalt Paving com
pany has been awarded the contracts
for the paving of Sixth street, from
Morrison to Yamhill, and of Oak street,
from Second to Third.
This was done by the street commit
tee of the executive board because It
was believed a lower bid on both Jobs
was fictitious. Ths Barber company
bid fl.SH on Oak street, while a mys
terious Individual who signed "P. O.
Solon" to his bid offered to do ths work
for ll.2JI.20. On Sixth the Barber bid
waa $1,217.28, while the Solon bid waa
fl,t(7.14.
Mayor Lane told the committee that
he wished the rival paving companies
could be driven out of Portland, as he
believed the Solon bid waa put In to
delay the Improvement and that if the
contract waa awarded to the lower
bidder in this Instance the pavement
would not be laid for a long time. All
attempts to learn the Identity of P. O.
Solon have failed.

Such Is Contention of Attorney King,
Who Declares Moral Squad Delib

Ae an aftermath of the suit for dam

is aecuaed of having robbed Anton Frits
of 11,400, waa in ths Ruhl lodging-house
on the night of the raid out of which
the action for damagea resulted and
waa npt taken Into custody, according
to Attorney H. C. King, because she
was a valuable member of the police
"stool pigeon" brigade.
On the night of the raid all of the
women with the exception of a negreas
who occupied room 11 In the place and a
colored woman who was with her, were
taken Into custody. At the time It waa
given out by the detectives that the

The raid on Ruhl's resort was sub

Chicago, Oct II. -Under brighter
skies with ths air less chilly and with
appetltea whetted for a greater struggle
than the previous games Chicago ran
dom and lta many followers from out
side of the olty gathered again this
afternoon for the battle between the
White . Sox and Cube. On their form
showing of yesterday ths White Sex
ruled as favorites, but the supporters
of fits Nationals ware as firm as svsr
and ths betting ruled even.
The ovations tendered the players aa
they went upon the field today was aa
enthusiastic aa thatglven on the open
ing day of the series. Rohs and Walsh
were the favorites today and when they
appeared on the diamond tbey were
oheered again and again For a general
utility man, who hae been put in the
games as a autsjtltuts, Rohs has mads
good and then soms more and that
Chicago fandom appreciates his work
there can be no question.
It was Rohe who won the rtrat game
for the Whttb Box and then again yes
terday he turned the trick by combing
one of Pfelater'a twisters when three
were on besae. It is sll Rohe in this
town and If that young man wants any
thing he can have It from the followers
of ths White Sox. "Pop" Anson never
had the popularity piled up around blm
lute young Rohs has today and yet
"Pop" Is still a favorite. Walsh's greet
pitching of yestsrday .has also put him
on the pinnacle or fame, and, while the
Irish chucker did not heave today, he
was out In a uniform and went through
a warming up at the same time receiv
ing ine plaudits of the crowd.
'Before 11 o'clock this morning ths
crowd began to knock at the gates and
by noon when the gatee opened onward
I of 7,000 ttokets had been eold. When
me game started tne turnstile showed
they had mads mors than 17,000 turns,
thus making ths attendance for the
fourth game about 4,000 more than
atood the biting wind of yesterday. The
teams went on the field at 1:10 o'olock
for practice.
George Davis, who has been out of
the game en account of sickness,
warmed up with ths White 8 ox. While
he waa welcomed the crowd made it
plain that they desired te have Rohe
continue la the game. The manage
ment, however, wanted the servloee of
both, therefore Da via was put at short,
Rohe to hie place at third. Tannehlll,
who played short ysstsrday. took the
bench. Hahn. who had his noes broaJSn
yesterday with a pitched ball, was on
hand with his nose covered with plas

From the start It was a pltohera bat
tle and In the beginning promised to be
even a greater struggle than the game
yesterday; For six Innings the teems
battled without being able to fores a
man over the plate, but in the seventh
the Cubs scored their first and only
tally amid ths chsers of the crowd. It
was the run that won the game for the
Nationals and waa due to an excusable
error by Hahn. ,
With the sun shining In his eyes m
light' Oeld Hahn missed a fly thst
Chanee raised and the batter landed on
first. Stelnfleld sacrificed Altrock to
Donohue and Tinker laid down a secrl

With One run agalnat them, the White
