FALLS OF YOUTH
County Grand Jury Traces Crime
to Too Lax Supervision of
Various Places of Amusement
Jaza dancing, motion picture
hows and the craze for automo
biles are blamed, by the January
grand .jury for most, of tne crime
committed during the last month.
In Ita final report, "presented to Pre
siding Judge ' McCourt Saturday
afternoon, the retiring panel recom
mends that a closer check be kept
upon dance halls 'and the movies,
and state that automobile dealers
should be more careful in making
ales to Irresponsible youths.
not find so frank - an admission from
those 'who fill the leading places ; that Is,
not for publication, . But -confidentially
and not to print, aome of them will tell
you that "they hear lots of Hoover talk"
and Incidentally they drop the thought
that they might vote for Hoover them
selves should circumstance .and oppor
tunity give them the chamee.
The reluctance of Republican leaders
to express- themselys openly concerning
Ttnin'M a miHTTilalu is more than prob-
Nlnety-ftve. per cent of the cftae-wtSbTydue to the fact tat Johnson, Low-
aes polndexter ana wooa are aireaay in
fore us during this term," reads he re
port, "were boys and young men from
the age of 14 to 20, who claim that their
motive for robbing and forging checks
was to raise rrfoney to make payments
on their cars."
U CA8E8 EXAMINED
Seventy canes were examined by the
January grand' Jury, and 35 true bills
and 35 not true bills were returned. This
Is the largest number of not true bills'
returned In a long time, and It is sel
dom ' that a like number of true and
Tart true bills are returned In the same
month. The Cedars, the county farm,
county Jail, Kelly Butte rock pile,
. tuberculosis hospital ' and other county
Institutions were examined by the grand
Jury and a favorable report returned
' for each. "
Three indictments, charging assault
with hrtent to rob were returned against
Charles Langdale and Tlobert Hall and
two indictments were returned against
Russell iilgglnbothara in the January
.grand Jury report.
The three youths are said jto have
oonfessed to being the bandits who have
been operating in Portland successfully
for the last month. They are charged
i with holdups which were committed In
I the Fashion garage on January 1, In
. - the Frank Nau drugstore on January 7
and the Nob Hill pharmacy on January
J 16. Besides these, they are ' said to
I have confessed to having committed
f others. They are believed to have
stolen over 11000 during the past month.
If ANTED IN UTAH
r , A telegram was received Saturday
from J. T. Williams, sheriff of
Prove Utah, saytng that he .was on his
way to Portland with extradition papers
for Charles Langdale, alias "Red" Cross,
who Is wanted In that state for the
,.- robbery of the Springville bank. As he
is charged with having committed so
many crimes In the state of Oregon, It
Is believed that the district attorney's
Office will deny the request of the Utah
sheriff and will place him on trial In
Multnomah county. A telegram to this
effect was sent to Provo Saturday
- 'by Deputy Sheriff Beckman In an at-'
. tempt to catch Sheriff Williams before
he leaves.
" Ben Perlman and Everett McDonald
were also indicted on the charg" of as
' taunt with Intent to rob. They are ae-
eused of having on January 9 attempt
to rob the store or Thomas Grunt on
-Union ayenue.
During the past two years Virgil
Myers, it is said, has passed 34 spurious
check a ' , (He is being held under two
grand jury indictments. 1 Edward Quin
tan will have to answer to two Indict
mentv on charging him with carrying
a concealed weapon and the other with
larceny, stating that he robbed the M oyer
Clothing company. Richard . TumvUle
is accused of carrying a concealed-firearm
and H. B. Wood worth Is charged

which fact, toy the ethics oi.tne pouucai
profession, inhibits those bound by offi
cial ties to party organisations from
saying anything that might be hostile
to the Interests of any presidential can
didate seeking the primary Indorsement
in the state. .
ONE GIVES OPINION ,
It Would not be betraying any confi
dences to .relate, however, that one
prominent Republican holds the opinion
that "If 1000 Republicans and 1000 Dem
ocrats In Oregon were to be asked their
preference' a majority of each would be
for Hoover," which may be' stating It
pretty positively, but is that politician's
opinion nevertheless. 1
vHoover stands In a unique position,
politically. ' Never before, in all proba
bility, has the same man been spoken
of so widely and so insistently as a
possible presidential candidate of both
the Republican and the Democratic par
ties. A man of no particular party. In
the public mind at least, he is still the
faverite of many partisans on both
sides who would like to "adopt him as
their standard bearer.
Before very long, as a matter of polit
ical course, Hpover will have It put ujj
for his direct answer as to whether he
is a Republican or a Democrat in politi
cal belief. When he takes his stand it
will go far toward crystallzlng his pos
sibility as a nominee.'
WILSON SHADOW IN MIND
It is difficult to see a" cohdition at
Chicago which would lead the practical
politicians who usually hold the Repub
lican nationar convention in control to
allow Hoover to become the nominee of
that party.'. He hfts been too much a
part of the Wilson administration ; has
stood too Staunchly behind that admin
istration even to the extent of backing
President Wilson's plea for the return
of a Democratic congress at the . last
election to permit the "Republican lead
ers to flock spontaneously ' to his sup
port. To. make him the nominee would
be construed by many: to be a quast
Indorsetnent of the Wilson administra
tion. But difficult as the situation might be
to face, soma of the leaders can 'see how,
and why, the result plight be brought
about. Home , of them confide that "the
rank and file- of the party is not warm
ing up to any of our candidates who
hive been mentioned so far," . and they

The difficulties 'are not so treat in

from hostile to the present administra
tion, has, in fact, been a part and parcel
of it He could be fathered to the
bosom of the San Francisco convention
without bringins; any particular thorns
to mar Its alabaster beauty.
Anyway, Hoover is, the man of mys
tery In Oregon, as well as in national
politics, today. ' He has friends - and
many of them, in both camps, lots of
whom contend that they wouM vote

P Willi the Democrat party " holding Its
convention m$ the wine "growing state
of California.- it would not be sur
prising to find the atmosphere : of the
Pacific coast somewhat friendly to a
light wines and beer program. :
But it is significant on the other hand
that the politicians are. treading
cautiously and are likely to continue to
go slowly about ootnmittlng tbemselves
publicly even to the light wines and
beer idea until they know . who is . to
be the candidate of the party. ,e
If he is a pronounced dry' it would
be embarrassing, but if he has been

- So far as .' He pub! lean polities are
concerned there have been states; where
Republicans won on a wet platform
and there have been many in which
the drys have practically elected the
Republican candidates.
It goes without saying that If the
Democrats should show an inclination to
favor light, wines and beer, , the Republi
cans would probably hall with delight
the proepect of assuring themselves the
dry vote. ' - ' "; , '
Thus the question of expediency turns
upon tins query, are there, more votes
on the light wines and 'eef , aide tjin
there are teetotalers Or vice vsrss,.-..

strength with Governor Lowden (ex
cept that portion that follows General
Pershing in case of-tiis candidacy); -.,
Senator Harding Is a more able man,
with a considerable amount of political
experience,' and ' one of the best cam
paigners his party has produced in re
cent years. He presided over the last
Republican convention, and has been
one of hie party's leaders in the senate
ever since he entered that body.
The ' progressive element of the party
has two candidatesSenator Johnson
and Senator Polndexter. . The former Is
better .known than the latter because he
was Mce president on the ticket with
Roosevelt, eight years ago, but that very
fact would tend to prejudice him in the
eyes of the stand pats of the party. His
nomination would be even more clearly
a progressive victory than that of Gen
eral Wood.
There is time yet for other entries, but
the lines are so clearly drawn that, I
venture to make; a guess. First, that
neither General Wood nor General Per
shing will be able to control a majority
of the Republican delegates. The oppo
sition t railltarylsnt will be sufficient
tp defeat both, even if he4t1valry be---tween
tjiem was not sufficient, to enable
each one to prevent the nomination of
the other. , r
GULF SEPARATES THESf1"' : '
.When we come to the. civilian, candi
dates we find that the gulf .between the
two reactionaries, Lowden ;hd Harding
on the one side, and the two progres
sives, Johnson and Polndexter, on the
other, is too wide to permit the nomi
nation ot a conspicuous representative
of either side. ' . .
The Republican party wants-to win;
the passion for victory is greater than
devotion to any particular man, and
when the progressives and reactionaries
find that neither rtde will consent to an
outstanding representative of the other
side both sides will 'begin looking for a
compromise candidate and the logic of
the situation seems likely to point to
some such man as Governor SprouL
Governor Coolidge also Is mentioned,
although the Inclination seems to be sto

of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler is suf

ject myself -to the charge of overlooking
a" semi-dark' horse, I herewith enter his
name In the list. I will not venture to
estimate- his chances until he announces
his platform of principles.
Being more interested in my country's
welfare Hthan . in mere party success, I
hope for the nomination of a Repub
lican who will, if elected, make a good
president. . Therefore, I would like to
see Senator Kenyon nominated a man
whose sympathies are with the people
and who might be expected to support
with his influence all remedial meas
ures. But as the reactionary element
has a dominating influence in the coun
cils of the Republican party, it i un
likely that they will choose such a
standard bearerunless the leaders be
come frightened by the new-parties that
are coming into existence.
