OFFICIALS ARE PUZZLED AT ACTIONS OF SU8PECT Thinking of Beginning Investigation Along New Lines to Determine Cause of Perry's Peculiar Actions in Face of Widow's Statements. Official of Washington county are vainly trying to explain the amaslnc "mm" of George Perry, who has been publicly accused of complicity In the Forest Grove bank robbery and the sub sequent murder of Carey at. Snyder. His attitude of utter Indifference Is the most startling feature of the fam ous ease. Knowing that Washington county officials hare In their ppaaaa slon evidence which points directly to his guilt and knowing that a warrant may be Issued for his arrest at any time, he has mad no effort to escape, .nor has ha shown the least apprshen- slon as to the result. Parry Is at Independence, Missouri. At frequent intervals hs gives out 1n tervlsws denying the statements of Mrs. Madge Snyder and at the earns time casting insinuations which she refuses to explain. Perry's wonderful compos ure la causing the officials to begin In vestigations along altogether different Unas. hows Wo Alarm Whatever. Perry Is one of a class of alleged "crooks" who, as a rule, do not hesitate to vanish aa soon aa suspicion is dl fee ted toward them. In many instances fee has been under suspicion for various crimes and Is well known to the police of Kansas City and Independence. He knows aa well aa any one how one of Ills reputation and habits Is supposed to be guilty of any crime of which hs Is accused uattl he establishes his Inno cence. He also knows every accusa tion that has been made by the widow and how a chain of apparently incrimi nating evidence has bean drawn about him. , But hs has shown no alarm whatever. On the contrary, he has related his side of the story with aa much freedom as Mrs. Snyder told hers, and to many of the officials his story carried aa much conviction as did that of the woman. Tha widow attributes his Indifference to bis belief that she knows nothing of the plans ho is accused of having made. Her explanation, however, la regarded aa of no consequence. ifhlla officials profess to believe In the guilt of Perry and to hare almost conclusive evidence of his guilt, thsy refuse to cause his arrest. They freely admit, however, that practically the only evidence they have consists of the statements and accusations of the woman. They aay the reason they do not Issue a warrant la that they think It unwise to rely solely on her testi mony. Perry In ail probability has al ready retained an attorney, and Wash ington county officials fear that a clever crqss-questlonsr would play havoc with their case. Therefore they HOTEL MAN TELLS OUEERJALES Clerk at the Portland Declares They Are as True aa Stories Can Ba. THREE HOTEL CUE8TS WITH THE SAME NAME Another Who Three Times in aa Many Tears- Visited the Hostelry and Was Always Assigned to the Same Room. Nathaniel K. Clark, clerk of the Port land hotel, was telling stories about "ar rivals" yesterday, and here are a few of them: When I was working In a certain hotel In a certain Canadian city," aald Mr. Clark. "I remember distinctly ons morning of three men arriving at the hotel. Now theee men came on different trslns snd st different times In ths morning, but each bore the name of Kllbourne. They had never met before and were not related to each other. Now, don't you think that a peculiar coincidence? And It Is true. too. That reminds me, he added, "of an Incident that happened yesterday. A gentleman cams to the hotel and regis tered. I assigned him to room Sio. He was shown to his abiding place by one of the bellboys and I . had forgpttsn about him. I was busy at my work a. few minutes later when he stepped up to the desk and told Ms that he was sitting In his room when he happened to remember that he had Just come down from Seattle. While In 'the Bound city he was stopping at a hotel where he bad room 841. Be thought It rather, pecu liar that he should have- the same room in two hotels straight hand running. So did I, bat here Is one about roam 45 that la still more peculiar. "A gentleman from Indiana, arrived the other day and was assigned to room See. While a guest of the house he came to me one day and said: 'It la rather peculiar that I should have room 645 again. I have ijQpyitl at thle hotel three times la three yeara and each time I have had room S4S. I wonder why It happens that way?' "Now there are many things," con tinued Mr. Clark, "that come up In a hotel man's Ufa and these are but a sample of them. There are others that I could tell, but I see by ths expression on your faces that you havs your doubts as to the veracity of the stories I have told you. Still they are Just as true aa I am standing here. If you don't be-He-ve them I will ehow you the names of the men on the register and then take you up and ehow you the room."

Reeves Co. 313 Washington Street The oar shortage In the Pacific north west Is unprecedented, even at this sea son when there la always the heavleet demand of the year for care to move the crope. The transportation problem Is having a strong effect on timber values. A well-known eastern timber dealer said: 'Ths demand for timber aa an Invest ment for future profit Is good enough in the Interior, but for mill purpose' the need Is for Umber that Is Immedi ately accessible to mills that can be lo cated for eargo shipments. The lum bering Interests are perhaps the great est sufferers from the woeful lack of railroad cars, and the short-sightedness of railroad ewnere who have failed to provide for the Increasing business. Lumber Is a low grade commodity, and aa the freight rate does not offer eo lsrge a return to the railroad It la dis posed to furnish cars to the lumber mill after everybody else hss been sup plied. As there are not enough cars to go ground, the lumber mills suffsr heavy lossee continually by being un able to deliver their products within the time limits allowed by the customer.

"For theae reasons timber accessible to navigation is la demand and new mills In Oregon from this time forward will be built to a large extent on loca tions where they can command cargr shipments. If the lumbering interests ware forced to rely wholly on the rail road companies for transportation faclli tlee there would not be half of the lumber mills In Oregon running today." The Northern Pacific Is claiming that the scarcity of cars at this time le n greater than It has been in former years. The men who demand cars for shipping tbelr products say It la grow ing worse every year. The Great Northern claims, it hss enough cars for normal demand and that there la no occasion for complaint. The O. R. A N. has. It la said, refused to let any more of lta cars go to ths Great North ern and claims that the Hill road has already In use about 5.000 O. R. A N ears. The extreme '.stringency on th Southern Pacific contlnuea and It will be many months before the oar shops can turn out the cars ordered by the Harrlman companies to relieve the growing shortage. Even after present orders are filled It le expected by ship pers that thsy will not be half suf ficient to meet the needs of buelneaa Interests. While population, banking, telephone, postal, manufacturing and other lines of commerce have doubled In Oregon and the Pactflo northwest generally, the supply of '"railroad cars has been but slightly Increased. The Harrlman and Hill lines have an average of but four and five cars to the mile, while the Santa Fe has double that number, al though the Increase of business in the southwest has not been nearly so great as In the northwest The ruinous car shortage Is a natural result.
