morning to return them early Sunday.
PUBLIC AGAINST AIDES
Public sentiment is strong agamst the
unknown persons who are believed to
have aided the bandits in their efforts
to escape capture. Newspaper accounts
of the death of Sheriff Taylor, his fu
neral, the . man hunt and the various
clues followed, were found on one of
the captives. They , had been recently
shaved. They showed they had not
lacked food nor rest.
For these reasons efforts to curb lynch
talk were made by prominent persons
here. . "
It Is believed Hart and Owens can be
forced to confess enough to bring to
justice their confederates and to give
clues as to the whereabouts of Anderson
and Patterson.
The , Hart-Owens clue never became
hot until Friday afternoon, when dogs
followed the trail In the mountains In
the direction of Sommerville.
Hart wore a prison guard belt when
taken, and the pair had a sack full of
provisions. Possession of these things is
taken by some here to indicate that the
pair had outside assistance during- their
break for liberty.
Twenty-eight hundred dollars In gold
and currency, which they are thought
'to have stolen from Indians at the Ca
yuse celebration before their arrest, was
.not found on either. Belief was held
here that, following the Jail break Sun
day, the pair went to their cache and
recovered their loot. ;
A reward of 18500 hangs over Hart's
head and $1000 for Owens. Hart fired
the fatal shot Into Sheriff Til Taylor's
t breast last Sunday and Owens was one
of his accomplices In the murder.
The spot where the capture took place!
is nesr the head of the Umatilla river.
Location of the pair was reported by a
man who was ordered out of a huckle
berry patch Friday at the: muszle of the
pair's guna.

Measure Licensing
Homes That Board
Children Is Passed
An ordinance sponsored by members
of the child welfare commission provid
ing for the inspection and licensing of
homes that board children was passed
by the city council Saturday morning.
The ordinance, drawn by City Attor
ney La Roche .and submitted . by the
mayor., gives jurisdiction for the super
vision of these homes to the city health
officer. . It is an amendment to the city
measure providing for the inspection and
licensing of sanitariums and hospitals.
Agitation for legislation of this char
acter grew out of the recent Mathus
case where three children, "farmed out"
by their parents, were found to have
been cruelly beaten and mistreated. The
ordinance gives the city council power
to revoke the licenses when necessary.

UB ADVISEMENT
BY JUDGE TUCKER
After two and a half days, of ar
guments by attorneys. Circuit Judge
Tucker Saturday noon took . under
consideration the motion to make
permanent the temporary injunc
tion in force against various labor
union organizations picketing: four
theatres in Portland on the alleged
ground that they are unfair to or
ganized labor. Judge Tucker Inti
mated that he will require eeveral
days to review the numerous cases
cited In these arguments.
The injunction' was secured by the
People's Amusement company. Liberty,
Majestic and Columbia theatres against
the Moving Picture Machine Operators'
union No. 153, Musicians' Mutual asso
cian local No. 99, Theatrical Stage Em
ployes" local No. Z and the Steam En
gineers' local No. 87, and the Theatrical
Federation of Portland,, as well as a
long list of "John Does." .
ORIGINATED I!T TACOMA
The controversy arose over trouble
between theatre managers and employes
In Tacoma. where 87 V cents per hour
was paid to motion picture machine op
erators, while in Seattle the rate was
$1.2S per hour in theatres said to be
controlled by the same parties. The
trouble eventaully extended to Portland
houses said to be under the same con
trot Women were placed as pickets oy
the unions and. they were temporarily
testralned from proceeding with their
picketing.
John F., Logan and Dan J. Malarkey
appeared as attorneys for the theatres,
and the unions were represented by W.
S. IgRen and E. E. Pettingell. The nr
ray of decisions bearing on the subject
was appalling, and more than SO law
volumes were brought into court in this
connection.
LEFE5SE OVERRULED
The first move of the defense attor
neys was to undertake - to have C. S.
Jensen and J. S. Von Herberg added to
the plaintiffs, but Judge' Tucker hald
that this could not . be done without
their own consent.
LTRen argued that the restraining or
der of the court was far more sweeping
in its terms than anybody had : asked
for, or than had Issued In any of the
picketing cases.
"We want the same opportunity of In
forming the public as to our stand in
this case as the theatres have," said
U'Ren. "They can use the newspapers
and other means to declare that they
are fair to organised labor; we cannot
do this under the terms of the Injunc
tion. They are losing some profits dur
ing this controversy ; ,,we are losing our
bread and butter by upholding our con
tentions." ABGUlOjEXT IS WIDE
Attorneys for the theatres covered a
Wide range in their arguments against
the right ; to picket, and stressed the
fact that the troubles in Portland did
not grow out of controversy over wages
or labor conditions here, but . in a city
of another state.
"You want to close the theatres, of
Portland." said Attorney Malarkey,
"because a man " named Von Herberg
wouldn't consent to kick out into the
streets of Tacoma a man named Bene
dict who has stayed loyally with his
employment. Benedict chose to exer
cise his God-gtven right to work for
whom he pleased, and they want, to
close up the, theatres in Portland be
cause of that fact"

JUST AFTER LEROY
FREED FROM JAIL
New York, July 11. On August
It, 1919. a man calling himself P.
Pouverer killed his roommate, Cecil
E. L&ndon of Portland, Or., In the
McAlpln hotel here .and disappeared.
"P. Pouverer" was a swarthy, black
haired man, about the build of E.
Leroy. who. Is wanted on suspicion
of . having Slain his wife and sent
ner.bfcdy to New York In a 'trunk.
. 1 On February 3 a man murdered Miss
Reahm Hoxie in her father's apartment
at No. TS West Eighty-ninth street, after
gaining admission to the house by ask
ing to see a room advertised for tent
5 His description is the same s that of
K Leroy. -w
The handwriting on the MeAlpln hotel
register is closely similar to that on the
label of the murdet trunk.
SEVEBAL MUBPEKS IKPICATSB
This, then, la the theory new evolved
by New York detectives:
They have to deal, it is possible, with
a man who Is wanted on charges not of
one -murder, but of several Through
evidence that has come into their hands
they believe that E. Leroy. alias O. J.
Fernandez, alias O. J. Wood, came to
New York in 19JMn the steerage of a
Southern pacific steamship, accompanied
by Joseph Yanes, described as a friend.
Fernandez, or Wood; or Leroy. lived
for a time in West Thirty-sixth street.
In January he was convicted of 'grand
larceny on charges of ' 'having stolen
Liberty bonds and jewelry from an
other man.
LANDON KILLED WEEK LATER v
The Landon murder took place one
week after his release on suspended
sentence for the theft. Two weeks later
Fernandez left for Detroit From that
city some time later came a letter signed
by Fernandez and requesting that the
name on the bottom of the trunk. "'O. J.
Wood," which was Fernandez's alias
here, be erased. This letter," received by
A. J. 'Branlc, an expressman, has been
turned over to the police.
Confirmatory evidence , also comes
from Sirs. Caroline Piele, who runs a
lodging house at which Fernandez, or
Wood, roomd. She declares that after
he left letters came to her house ad
dressed to Leroy. She sent them back
unopened..
BELIEVE THEM SAME MAW
Mrs: ptele's husband, moreover, tells
of being , In , a saloon and hearing two
men address Fernandez as Leroy.
Inasmuch as Fernandez Is known to
be a-Mexican and because .be has been
so closely Identified with the known
movements of Leroy, the authorities are
extending their investigations into that
country in the belief that Lerpy may
have gone across the border.
1 A reward of $5000 has been offered
for the arrest of Leroy. by officials of
Wayne county, Michigan, and Governor
Sleeper has asked the state department
to request extradition of the man If he
is found below the border.
