under arrest for the murder of Sher
iff, Til Taylor of Umatillai county, 1
be found guilty of murder in the first 1
degree and sentenced to hang, theirs
will he the dubious distinction of
ushering capital punishment back
into practice in Oregon "after .seven
years of disuse. ;
"Assuming that newspaper reports of
the killing of . TU-'Tajrloc; are correct,
the crime for which Hart ahdcOwen have
been sought certalnlyTOmeS within the
provisions of the law 'Pfor? which 'capital
punlshmept is prescribed as. a. penalty,",
declared Attorney general Brown this
morning when 'informed of the capture
of the slayers of the Umatilla county
sheriff. "Judged by all reports of the
crime, no - more deliberate! land "coldr
blooded murder was ever committed in
Oregon 'than that which claimed the life
of one of the best officials known In the
West." '1 I ; ; -'
; Since Oswald C. Hansel of Clatsop
county entered the death chamber at the
State-prison here and paid the supreme
penalty-for the murder-of Frank J. -Taylor
of: Astoria pn November' 1. Wit,
there has been no hanging in Oregon.
The old death chamber has since been
remodeled Into a modern kitchen and
Its mission 'changed from that of a life
taking' institution to . that of a life-sustaining
-institution. .
. At the present time there is no room
at the penitehUary here available for a
death chamber and any execution staged
here in the near future would neces
sarily require the erection of a tem-
fporary scaffold. Inasmuch as the faw
specifically, provides, for . the admission
of -only a" limited rfumber of guests at
suclv an event, it is highly probable that
fUtuM "hangings at the Oregon x prison
Mfl b4 staged 1n the "bull pen," now
the domicile of the "hard boiled of
dangerous tendencies, which offers the
only semblance of privacy now to be
found within the prison : walls. ''- ,
- Questione this morning As to the
prison's readiness for an ' execution.
Warden Compton declared that he was
not crossing any bridges until they
were reached, in which event he inti
mated the erection of a temporary scaf
fold would be a matter of only a few
hours' .work. ; :
The murder of Brakeman Mayes at
The Dalles by a negro, Oles Brown, was
the first murder committed since capital
punishment became effective. The attorney-
general advised the district at
torney there by telephone that the cap!
ttal punishment was operative and that
Brown would' be subject to its-provisions

Not. only are women somewhat
prominent In the social world said to be
Yietlms of the narcotic habit la which
they were trained In a "school for
crime" In Portland by members of the
drug ring,' but comparatively young
a-lrls and many boys have fallen into
the traps of the habit, authorities aver.
Police freely declare; that a large
portion of the thefU committed; in, Port
land are by persons - addicted to the us
of nardbtios chiefly obtained by mem
bers of the now discovered "ring."
Pottos efforts to cure the drug habit
In prisoners by Incarcerating them have
bn unavailing. It is said, for while
a few' may be benefitted, the majority
return to the habit upon release.
