Dan McKenzie and William Dean,

State-Wide Gang of Thieves.
Investigation Into the activities of
Dan McKenile and William Dean,
alias Tom Williams, who were ar
rested last Monday by deputy sher
iffs on the charge of bootlegging,
has led the authorities to believe
they are the ringleaders of a pow
erful gang which has been operating-
in the Willamette valley and In
parts of Washington during the last
year, during which thousands of
dollars' worth of property has been
stolen.
Property found on the two men has
connected them definitely with three
robberies committed near Portland, ac
cording to Deputy Sheriff Chrlstof
fersen, who has been conducting the
investigations.
The men have been most definitely
connected with the robbery of the My
ers & Harrison store at La Center,
Wash., the night of January 28. A run,
knife and some shoes have been identi
fied by the owner of the store. The
articles have been taken to Vancouver
and they will be presented to the Clarke
county grand Jury as evidence.
A hat Worn by one of the men has
been identified as one stolen from a
store in Ridgefield, Wah., last Decem-
i ber, while another is partially recog
nised as having been stolen from the j
Aylesworth store at Gresham last sum-
ir.er. j
McKenzie was wearing a Masonic ring I

CONDITIONS FORCE
KELLY BUTTE AS
SITE FOR HOSPITAL
Dr. Parrish Prefers to Accept
Marquam Hill Offer, but Fears
It Is Too Late at Present.
Dr. George Parrish, city health
officer, today reiterated his state
ments in favor of establishing the
contagion hospital at Kelly Butte,
as originally - planned, rather than
delay construction by attempting to
switch the site to Marquam hill, as
proposed be the University of Ore
gon medical school.
"The two acres of land offered by the
medical Bchool are preferable In every
way to the Kelly Butte sit." he declared.
"But the necessary delay occasioned by
transferring materials and changing all
our plans at this late date would be se.
rious.
$? ALREADY EXPESBED
"Construction at Kelly Butte has been
under way for some time now. Nearly
12000 has been expended on that site,
and this would be almost a total loss to
the city should plans now be changed.
We need 'the contagion hospital imme
diately, and further delays for any rea
son whatsover would be unwarranted.
Otherwise, except for the crying need
for the hospital immediately, I would
favor the Marquam hill site.
"As I understand it. Dr. Mackenzie
says that we can have that site within
two or three weeks. If the hospital as
sociation will give us the deed to the
landX it might in a way offset the ex
penditure of J2000 at Kelly Butte, as
the land would be worth nearly that
much. At the Butte we have mterely a
lease on the land for 99 years, the
county officials not having, deeded the
property to us.
HILL LOCATION PRAISED
"Marquam hill will become one of
the most noted medical spots on the
Pacific coast. With the university there,
the county hospital under erection, and
other medical buildings planned, it is
destined to become famous. It is the
logical spot for a contagion hospital
and were It not that we must have a
hospital immediately, I would favor its
erection there. But changing -our plans
now is apt to cause a delay of months.
I do not consider that it would be
worth It However, If It can be ar
ranged so that we can build the hos
pital on the hill almost as quickly as
on Kelly Butte, It Is the logical thing
to do."
It Is understood that the hospital as
sociation will present the plan to the
city council on Wednesday.
Lewis' Watchword
As Candidate Gets
Bad Twist in Print
D. C. Lewis, who bas just filed his
Intention to be a candidate for state sen
ator from Multnomah county, declares
that fate Is unkind to him. In setting
out the principles upon which he desires
to go before the people for nomination
anr. election he Intended to say that
"legislation in favor of the few and
against the many should not be toler
ated." Somewhere In the shuffle, how-
ever, the word not was dropped out
of the sentence, so that he Is on record
at the office of the secretary of state
as contending that "Legislation In favor
of the few and against the mar.y should
be tolerated."
Lewis contends that this is not what
he believes, and he has taken the mis
take up with the secretary of state, ask
ing that his filing be corrected so that
It will say what he wants, and Intended
to say.

Serious Danger for
Oregon in Order to
Send Empty Cars
An extremely dangerous condition is
seen by the Chamber of Commerce In
the order Issued a few days ago by the
railroad administration ordering all
empty freight cars on the Southern Pa
cific railroad lines north of Ashland to
be rushed to the state of Washington
for loading.
The chamber has been informed that
the need for cars is no greater in Wash
ington than in Oregon, if as great, and
that the withdrawal of cars from this
territory will leave the state In bad
shape to give adequate freight service
for several months, even with the re
turn of private control March 1. The
chamber has telegraphed to the Oregon
delegation at the national capital to
see that this order is' rescinded.
"It is hardly possible the railroad ad
ministration will carry out this order to
the extent originally announced," said
H. A. Hinshaw, assistant federal man
ager in charge of the S. P. line In
Oregon, whan questioned, as to the order
this morning.
