Ole Hanson Trailed but Search
, "Proves Fruitless; Caches of
- . Food Discovered.
Centralia. Wash., Nov, 20. Ole
Hanson, the mlHslng desperado in
the Armistice day murders, has not
lacked for helping- hands. Posses
searching- for Hanson In the Roch
ester, Independence and Little Rock
neighborhoods have found certain
evidence that Hanson has two and
perhaps three men with him, and
I food that had been cached at cer
tain places for him has also been
discovered.
V Many trails and clues were followed
; by posses today but all were blind. Re-
ports show Hanson's location is a com-
Opiate mystery to the searchers, except
tor the signs of food left for him.
two American Legion deputies left
last night for Salem, Or., to tnvesti
Itate the cases of Edward W. Coffee and
'"Walter Larson, held there because of
remarks they made about the Armistice
Jday shooting here. The deputies will

housekeeper, and Thursday evening a
man rang her door bell and asked her
to go to his mother's house. They
boarded a streetcar and rode to Williams
avenus and Holland street. There In
the shadows the man beat the young
woman with his fists, threw her to the
Sidewalk and robbed her of $50.
When Miss Montle was found, an
emergency cajl was ent to the police.
They scoured the neighborhood but at
last reports no trace had been found of
the man. The Injured woman was taken
to St. Vincents' hospital. She was not
Unconscious, but had difficulty In speak
ing, and it was feared she might have a
fractured skull.

Army Stores Soon to
Cancel Mail Orders
Washington, Nov. 21. (I. N. S.) The
quartermaster, general of the army today
tissued orders to the 25 retail army stores
'throughout the country to' take no fur
ther mail orders after December 10. This
step was taken becaure of the crowded
condition of the mails during the holi
day period.
Dean Lavvrrnoe Returns
University of Oregon, Eugene, Nov.
21.- Dean Ellis F. Lawrence has just
returned from a trip to New York to
attend a meeting of the board' of di
rectors of the American Institute of
Archltets. He visited Columbia School
of Architecture and also attended the
Hjeeflng of the national committee on
education.
New Army Store for
The Dalles Opened
With Complete Stock
The Dalles, Nov. 21. Thursday morn
ing the first army store to be opened in
this city formally threw its doors wide to
the public and was patronized eagerly.
Mayor J. P. Stadelman was Instrumental
in securing the store for the benefit of
the citizens here. A. R. r.oberts has
been appointed salesmanager and George
Demke, an ex-service man, and Mrs.
Mildred Bolton will assist. A large
quantity of meat was sold the first few
rush hours.
Paris. Nov. 21. "The Russian problem
Is poisoning my peace of mind. It makes
me look upon the future of France with
the gravest misgiving."
These words? authoritatively credited
to have been uttered by Premier Clem
enceau to some intimate friends a few
days ago, are symptomatic of the con
fusion, uncertainty and anxiety into
which the peace conference has been
thrown of late.
If the stenographic reports of the daily
meetings of the supreme council were
published the man in the street would
be astonished to discover that the diplo
mats delegated by the big powers to re
store peace to Europe are spending valu
able time discussing such trifling mat
ters as the amount of indemnity to be
granted to members of the allied com
missions to be sent to Germany or the
expeditionary of supplying the Polish
or Czecho Slovak armies with winter
uniforms or even the advisability of sub
mitting to the Greek delegates the cross
examination of witnesses in the Smyrna
Investigation In expurgated rather than
in its entirety.
While these details which any of the
innumerable sub commissions could
easily handle, are monopolizing the at
tention of the "Big Five" no thought
whatever is apparently given to the fact
that the utter powerlessness of the peace
conference Is shown more and more
clearly every day in the Near East.
There is no peace in Turkey, nor In
Albania, nor in Montenegro, nor in the
Adriatic, nor at Flume. Rumania has
not yet signed the treaty of Saint Ger
main and Jugo-Slavia is still consider
ing whether she will sign it at all.
It is the Russian problem which Is
worrying the peace conference most of
n waiiiu- the treatv of Versailles is
proving altogether powerless to deal with
the situation, xne ancieni imperial re
gime, which, as a huge, solid mountain
served as a support to the European
structure, has given away, leaving
nothing but shifting sands in its place.
knA th. rebound of this cataclysm Is
.hoirlno- H Western svstem to its
foundation.
Large Number of ,
Voters Must Now
Register to Ballot
One need not stand In line to register
so as to vote In the next election.
Crowds are not besieging the registra
tion bureau at the Multnomah county
courthouse, although tens of thousands
of Portland citizens have been stricken
from the books because of failure to
vote at the last two elections.
While battles have been fought for
the right to vote, the privilege of cast
ing the ballot Is being neglected, accord
ing to County Clerk Joseph Beveridge.
Nearly 100,000 persons were entitled to
vote at the last election. More than
40.000 have forfeited their privilege and
must register again.
Only 20 to 25 people are registering
each day at " the present time, when
the normal registration should exceed
800 a day, according to Beveridge.
The books will be closed about April
1, 1920, 30 days preceding the next
election.

Los Angeles Rebuff
Undaunts De Valera;
Needs Rest, He Says
Los Angeles, Nov. 21. (I. N. S.)
Undaunted by tlje fact thathe was not
permitted to speak at the Arlne audi
torium last nignt and wld arrange
ments completed for him t6 address a
big public meeting here at Washing
ton park, Sunday afternoon, Kamonn
De Valera, president of the Irish re
public, left Los Angeles today by auto
mobile for San ,Diego.
While the action of the Al Malaikah
temple of Shriners in refusing to allow
De Valera to speak at the auditorium
drew hot words from his Los Angeles
committee, the Irish president only
smiled when reference was made to the
incident this- morning.
"Perhaps it was a good thing," he
said. "I will be able to get some rest
now and will be in better shape for
Sunday's meeting."
He will return to Los Angeles tomor
row night and will rest there Saturday
in preparation for the mass meeting
Sunday.
Nearly 10,000 people were massed near
Shrine auditorium last night to hear De
valera speak. They left good natured
ly when told the hall would be dark,
chants but that the employer uniot
refused to permit the merchants on' thi
docks. The Chamber of Commerce It
turn charged that the Riggers and Steve
dores' union was an anarchistic and
revolutionary organization.

Part of Street Is
Without Any Light;
City Money Short
Lack of funds in the city treasury will
prevent the municipality from maintain
ing and furnishing power for cluster
lights on Grand avenue from Division
street north to East Broadway, as re
quested in a letter sent to the council
by L. M. Lepper, secretary of the East
Side Business Men's club. Commissioner
Bigelow stated that the $10,000 ap
propriated for next year's street light
ing would be used entirely by the need
of arc lights in districts.
The East Side Business Men's club
offered to follow the example of Seattle
in erecting the poles If the city would
maintain and furnish the "juice." Bige
low points out that this would be im
possible, in that residents on East Mor
rison, East Burnside and other streets
would be entitled to the same privileges.
