Cora Luft met Dewey about three
weeks ago when he was playing "No
Mother to Guide Her" at the Empire
theatre in this city. She became Infat
uated with the long-suffering bero of
the melodrama and decided that, like
the girl in the play, she would give up
all for love. She forgot that she had
a mother, however, and wnen on last
Tuesday afternoon she disappeared from
her home in Portland. Mrs. Luft sent
her photographs to the chiefs of police
of all the nearby towns and asked that
she be returned. Mrs. Luft believed her
daughter might be with Dewey and his
company and last night ahe left for
Tacoma to have the actor arrested and
to recover her daughter. She had Dew'
ey placed in Jail but eould learn nothing
of Cora
"My sister was very much in love
with Dewey," said Mrs. Cummlngs this
morning. "She had been working as a
telephone girl, but a little over a week
ago wo learned that she had not been
at the exchange for a wtek. When she
left homo we suspected she might have
followed Dewey and we found that on
Tuesday night she and her chum, a girl
named Ivy, living at the Stuart rooming-house
at Front and Washington
streets, had followed the theatrical
troupe and were with two of the mem
bers of the company. After going to
McMmnville they followed them to Al
bany and then went to Tacoma.
"My sister will say nothing about the
case. She had a letter from Dewey in
which he asked her to run off with him.
but when we tried to' secure this in
court this morning she tore it up. She
is very stubborn and Ivy will not say
anything either. , They both deny hav
ing been out of the city at all. My
sister is engaged to Dewey and he would
marry her If we would allow It but my
mother won't Tiear of such a thing."
Mrs. Luft will return from Tacoma
thia afternoon and the two girls will be
left in the charge of the Juvenile court.

Their aim la to drive out all dlve

to make tha liquor lawa so atrlct that a
aaloonkeeper caught infringing will be
barred forever from doing business In
the city and vicinity. Colonel RuDDert

The Judges aay that the police cases are

other hand, the landlord la apt to take
no action beeauae the police fail to
make a caae, and ao It goes.
"The cure for thia condition is In the
cooperation of the brewers. We are
opposed to the dives aa much as we are
to drunkenness. They are the worst
foea of the brewers, and they can and
will be done away with by concerted
action. Withdrawal of the aupport of
all the brewera will be accomplished by
tne disconnected errorts or tne orriclals.
"In view of our efforts to correct ex
