BACK
FOR A GAY TIME?
Her Victim Is an Anthony, Too
Not Mark,, but Anthony Do
lexki, a Worker in Shipyards.
WANT AD IS HER WILES
Her Spell Broken, Comely Ad
venturess Is in County Jail
Awaiting; Trial as Bigamist.
DAUGHTER OF NILE IN TOILS
Are the, lotus-8eented banks of the
Hilvery Nile nni the romantic at-
moBphere of Cleopatra's ancient do
main In any way responsible for the
remarkable and astounding euccess
alleged to have attended the matri
monial ventures of Mrs. Gertrude Da
Snell? . She is the wife of Oeorge Dp
Knell, wealthy Butte. Mont., archi
tect, and in now in the Multnomah
county Jail.
It may be. for Mrs. Dc Snell was
born in Egypt.
It is posBiblc that the sirts and wiles
that encompastted the downfall of Marc
Antony of Home, have transcended to the
present generation. Anthony Doleckl of
Portland. latest victim of the charms
of Mfs. De Knell, unhesitatingly admit
that he fll victim to her attack via the
matrimonial want ad route. Lacking
the gorReous settings that enhanced the
person of her famous predecessor, un
able to recline upon regally appointed
burses, the modern descendant of an
cient EKypt has been in no wise a fail
ure, according to the information that
icraces police records up and down the
I'acific coast.
DOl.ECKI ASSWKBH AD
With as many names as there are
articles to' the League of Nations cove
nant, Mrs. De Snell's alleged mode of
operations Is simple to the initiated. In
" her most recent marriage in Portland,
which came to grief for her when the
victim complained, the acquaintance was
formed through a want ad.
Anthony Doleckl, a Portland shipyard
worker, answered the ad. It was
signed by K. Marie 'Overton and stated
that the party advertising was' an all
around business woman, making $173
a month and with 117,000 in the bank.
Love and companionship were sought,
read the ad, and applicants were in
formed that they need not necessarily
be wealthy. "
After a correspondence lasting a few
months. Mrs. Ie Snell appeared in Port
land, and on March 4 she and Doleckl
were wed In Vancouver, his complaint
avers. On March 5 Doleckl returned
from work to learn that his bride had
departed for Seattle to "nurse a dying
sister" and that approximately $500 in
cash and War Savings Stamps had gone
with her. It was the hist he saw of his
wife.
HAD MA XT NAMES
On the records of the police depart
ment in San Francisco it is inscribed
that on July 20, 1912. T. J. Wright, a
mining man, appeared, bemoaning the
mysterious departure of hla newly
wedded bride and $2595 in cash. A war
rant was Issued charging -larceny and
Mrs. Gertrude DeSnell was arrested the
follow ing day. A list of aliases oh the
record there shows that the prisoner, at
one time or another, used the names,
Stella Webb, Stella Cameron, Gertrude
De V'alle, Grace De Louise and Grace
Blond. Marriage registers in Montana,
'Washington and California furnish the
additional names of Mrs. Gertrude
Wright, Mrs. Gertrude De Snell and
Mrs. Gertrude Doleckl. After being in
jail for six months the superior court of
San Francisco released Mrs. De Snell
on probation.
Arrest of Mrs. De Snell on the indict
ment returned by the Multnomah county
grand jury occurred two weks, ago at
Butte, Mont. Matron Edna Dobbins was
sent there from Portland to bring her
back. On her arrival an attempt was
made to have Mrs. De Snell declared
. Insane, to prevent extradition. It
failed, however, as did a later attempt
before the governor of the state to pre
vent her return.
PRISONER REMAINS SILENT
The prisoner is said to be 53 years of
age, with blue eyes and dark hair. She
has maintained a stubborn silence since
heF arrival here, with the exception of
her contention that she has never been
to Portland before. De Snell Is said to
be a prominent architect in Butte and
a member of the state architectural
commission.
It is expected that a plea of insanity
will be offered in defense to the indictments.

Salem. Sept 20. Failure of shippers
to load cars to capacity and Increased
shipments of lumber throughout the
Northwest are blamed for the ear short
age in Orecon by R. H. Aishton. re
gional director of the federal railroad
administration, in a telegram received
by the publtc service commission this
morning. Aishton's telegram, which is
in reply to one sent by Chairman Buch
tel of the Oregon commission appeal
ing for aid in relieving the situation in
tills state, reads as follows :
"Your wire has been given special at
tention to car distribution problem. The
difficulty appears throughout entire
country. Large portion car supply your
territory must be moved in empty and
positive Instructions in effect with the
transcontinental lines to maintain field
equalization by delivery of as many cars
est as they take east. Demands for
lumber loads have increased materially
and are much heavier than last year,
which makes problem more difficult.
Serious decrease in total average load
ing per car compared with last year ac
counts in great measure ror car snori
age. Fullest possible utilization should
be made of all equipment and will ap
preciate your assistance in that direc
tion. Specitl study being made of all
delays at terminals and terminal loart
operations being speeded up on all lines
to meet recent emergency. Preference

very small factor in situation. Have
asked district director at Seattle to give

may desire."

Good Highway Need
Between Portland and
Salem, Says Jackson
"I cannot see why the state cannot
have one good rad to Salem, especially
during the fair," says A. G. Jackson,
in charge of educational cooperation
work of ftie forest service. Jackson,
accompanied by C. A. Lindstrom of
Washington, D. C. motored to Salem
Friday and found the roads far from
good. "In going down I took the advice
of the Oregon Motor association' said
Jackson, "and followed the east ide of
th river on th Pacific hlirnway. livery
little ways I found a barb wire across
the road, and had to detour. Coming
back I followed along about a mile from
the river, passing through St Paul to
Newberg and then into Portland. This
way 1 found to be fairly good."
Kooms will be scarce in Salem during
the fair, said Jackson, and private homes
will have to be resorted to to care for
the crowd. On Friday the Salem hotels
had quit taking reservations, and Jack
son had to engage rooms in a private
residence.

Accommodations for
Girls Badly Needed
At University of .0.
i
The administration of the State uni-'
verslty has announced that owing to the
large number of girls who have regis
tered, especially the unexpected number
of freshmen, the university will, have to
call on the sororities and clubs, as In
the past, to assist In housing this enter
ing class.
It is the policy of Oregon university
to take are of all freshmen girls on the
campus under direct university super
vision. To this plan the sorority groups
have acquiesced, though in many cases
it means financial hardship.
At the State university the housing fa
cilities are never adequate, and the fra
ternity system has arisen out of the
necessity of the students to make homes
for themselves. At Eugene thlB year
there is accommodation for only 180
gjrls on the campus, including the quar
ters at Hendricks Hall and two large
. dwellings near by that have been rented
as annexes. Nearly 300 girls have asked
the university for shelter, so the author
ities are obliged to turn for help, as they
have so often done before, to the soror
'itles and they ask them to fill their
houses to capacity. The total enroll
ment of girls will be about 600 this
year. In the near future the state will
be called on to furnish the University
of Oregon with at least one more
women's hall- of residence.
