THE OREGON DAILY?, JOURNAL, -PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 28. 1914. "Prowlers Open Fire on Offi cer When Halted on Port land Heights, j m i NEW PRESIDENT OF COMMERCIAL CLUB TO ANNOUNCE PROGRESSIVE POLICY SOON V. J. Healy. special 1 watchman on Portland Heights, was ahot twtc last night by a prowler known M Ioula Htros, whom he wounded In returning the fire. The men are in hospitals, physicians reporting against their re covery. . . : " Stros has admitted he went to Fort land Heights with hta partner, who la still at large, for the purpose of committing highway robbery or rob bing a home. Both prowlers have been stopping at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle th last few nights, having arrived here Friday from Salem, where they served five days in Jail for begging on the streets. Healy saw the men acting suspi ciously near the home of John A. Keating, 668 Montgomery drive. He stopped them and asked what they were doing there, Stros replied with a query as to whom the watchman was, drawing his revolver at the same time. ' Healy drew his gun, but was shot in the shoulder before he could fire, lie then fired two shots at the prowl ers. Anotlier snot was rirea ai me watchman, the bullet striking him in the stomach. .The prowlers then ran down the drive, making their way toward the canyon. Mrs. C. C. Strong, 501 Montgomery drive, heard the wounded burglar groaning and reported It, H. C. Strow , bridge, 'i St. Helens Court, heard the pistol shots, and took up search for the burglars. Tracks in the snow led the starphers down the canyon side, and Into the thick underbrush, where they found the wounded man. His partner had deserted him. Patrolman Lauggeson and Strowbridge called for assistance and carried the Injured wrowler down the side of the canyon. across the creek and to the Canyon road at a point a short -distance below j the old county farm, where an ambu- j lance awaited them. Healy had been taken to the St. Vincent's hospital. Stros was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital. Healy has one bullet wound through the stomach and another in the shoulder, - the latter bullet lodging near the lung. Stros has five perforations of the Intestine. Detectives Tlchenor and Howell took up investigation this morning. Stros was unable to talk much to them, still refusing 4o reveal the name of his ' partner or give any Information about i himself. He is an Austrian, and has been out of work practically all win ter. The shooting occurred at 10 o'clock. It was two hours later that the officers were able to get Stros to the hosiptal. HOFF DENIES HELPING IN UNION ORGANIZATION Salem, Or., Jan. 28. Labor Com missioner O. P. Hoff denies the re ported statement that he assisted in fh organization of labor unions at Ktio-ene recently. He says: "I had nothing to do with the or ganisation of labor unions at Eugene, or anywhere else in the state. That Is entirely outside of the duties of the office I Occupy, and I have been care ful to avoid sny thing of that character. I have occasionally sought to bring capital and labor together, to bring about a settlement of difficulties, and that was what I did at Eugene early In January." 1 Oregon Tostal Orders. k Waahlngtnn Bureau of The Journal. ) i.

Hardly recovered sufficiently from his surprise at being elected president of the Portland Commercial club to realize his surroundings, H. D. Rams del! today said lttwould be at least a COMFORT PROVIDED WOMEN ONERS Rumors of Intolerable Con ditions Dissipated by Former Inmate, week before he is prepared to an nounce the policies he expects to pur sue. "One has to realize the enormous scope bf this club's activities," said Mr. Ramsdell. "It is by far the great est development body in the north west. If not the whole country. Its influence Is so great that one may well pause and consider before he commits himself to any line of opera tion. I have several things in mind which I hope to work out soon, but now I feel too much off guard to dis cuss them." Mr. Ramsdell 'was greeted with con gratulations on all sides at the club rooms today when he went there for flainrigu res SHOW THE I i Incomparable Success Rumors and allegations to the ef fect that conditions at the county jail were Intolerable for women prisoners are dissipated by a letter recently re ceived by the matron, Mrs. Rogers, from a former inmate of the jail. Both Sheriff Word and she assert that every possible comfort is provided for the women prisoners and cite this letter in substantiation. It is from Mrs. - H. M. Geren who was conrined in tne jail nearly a month last fall and who states the food and- treatment equal to that at her own home, while a young woman released December 23 asked to remain with the matron rather than go to a hotel while awaiting money from her parents. Mrs. Geren's letter follows: Portland, Oct. 2. Dear Mrs. Rogers I am leaving you tonight after spending nearly one month in our county jail and I want to thank you for the kindness and consideration I have, received from you during all of that time. Our sheriff has been criticized for his treatment of women prisoners while in this jail and for' the food served tons. As an inmate of this place for several weeks I think I am In a position to know more about it than me casual visitor ana l only wish I could tell some of the good women of Portland about It. The food is as good as is served in any public institution. Three years ago I was a patient for a few days in the St. Vincent hospital and while the food there was served in a more dainty manner it was no better in quality, nor was it better prepared than we get In. the county jail. My father was a clergyman In a country parish when I was a child and I was brousrht up on the food with which a clergryman In a country parish was aDie to supply nis ramny and there were many-months that we had less to eat and no greater variety than is rurnisned to us here. As to the beds: Thev are . exactly like those furnished for the families of army officers when they travel on the army transports and are as com Tortable as any beds I ever have seen. There is plenty of lia-ht, heat and fresh air. Everything is perfectly ciean. i There are enly two women here who are convicted of crimes. The others are neid as witnesses or are. like ray self, awaitine trial. We are not treated as criminals but simply field here. The sheriff and his Oeputies are always polite to us, the Jailors treat us with every consideration, while you have Indeed been a "big sister" to us every one. I wonder why the officers of the Woman's club and other organizations wntcn are made up or the broad minaea Detter class ox Portland wo men, do not visit the county Jail and ascertain for themselves just how well we are treated. I am always sorry to leave nry home and I feel tonight that -same way as l leave you ana tne county JaiU very truly vour friend, H. M.

IOp A'lmlwIoar-lOe rirat A Plain Business Proposition Can you afford to go on suffering from biliousness, sleeplessness, heart flutter and va rious other troubles so often brought on by coffee drinking, just because you like coffee? Thousands have quit coffeee and,are using Postum,and to their joy find that the annoy ing coffee troubles have quickly disappeared. Not only that, but, they find Postum a de lightful beverage, with a rich flavor resembling that of Old Gov't Java. Postum, unlike coffee, contains no caffeine nor other drug. Made only from clean hard wheat, with a small per cent of New Orleans molasses, it is a pure wholesome food-drink which can be freely enjoyed with benefit by all the family. Postum now comes in two forms : Regular Postum -must be boiled 15 to 20 minutes. ' r . '.-. J , v . .. . V ... ntant Postum is a soluble powder. A scant teaspoonful to each cur of hot water dissolves instantly. : x . . . i - The convenience of Instant Postum is apparent. But, when prepared according to di rections, both kinds are exactly the same. The cost per cup is about the same. Grocers everywhere sell both kinds. If coffee don't agree, try POSTUM .
