; Many Checks Before Fall.
' Herman Burcher, who wore the
uniform of a private in the medical
eorpi, knew army drill regulations
but he didn't know that Vancouver
barracka is not a cavalry post. This
defect,. In his rtock of Information
resulted in his arrest on serious
charges Saturday night.
Burcher was engaged all day Satur
day In passing checks and buying solid
gold watches, Inspector Pat Moloney
alleges. He visited a half dozen jewelry
. stores, and each store exchanged his
r Checks for a watch and a handsome dif
ference in currency, the detectives de
' Clares.'
'At O. Korber Jewelry company, U7
Aider street, he met his Waterloo. J.
J. Masuronky, the manajrer. happened to
be an ex-service man. He was interested
In the combination of a uniform and
unlimited . resources. To all questions,
. Burcher ..gave reasonable answers, but
' when he told Masuroeky that Vancouver
barracks is a cavalry post the Jeweler
wss suspicious.
After Burcher departed, Masurosky
sent one of the clerks to follow him,
while he called Vancouver barracks to
learn there was no auch soldier In the
medical detachment
Burcher's arrest followed immediately.
He admitted. Inspectors Hyde and Ab
bott, who arrested him, said, that he
hsd passed a number of checks, some-of
which have nqt yet been accounted for.
In 'his possession he had six solid gold
watches, several chains, a ring, 1181
and three of the same kind of checks
totaling $270. These checks are all on
the Continental National bank of Los
Angeles, and were certified with a rub-
; ber stamp, superscribed with another
handwriting.
In Burcher's room at'the Park hotel.
Park and Qllsan streets, the police found
a suitcase containing detonation caps,
powder, fuses, drills, a Jimmy, keys and
two more gold watches. .He is being held
on a charge of obtaining money under
false prepenses. -

Bertha Reeve. 90, 428 Forty-second

taken to the emergency hospital, but
later removed to St Vincents.

EAGUE
(Continued From Pf One)
under German rule as French and Eng
lish dominion. He declared in favor
of letting the people of Europe have
any kind of government they want in
Europe and letting them fight their own
battles.
ALL RIGHT BUT ALL WBOHGt
"How about Taftr shouted a pro
league Republican.
"How about Hughes?" queried another.
"Oh. Taft and Hughes are all right
but they are wrong on the League of
Nations." replied Polndexter.
The Washington league opponent In
sisted that the nations cannot be ef
fectively disarmed through the league.
If the nations do not fight with battle
ships and machine guns, Polndexter de
clared, they will fight with bows and
arrows and spears, and if they are taken
away, the fight will be continued with
rocks and sticks. He denounced the
present government for "lack of pre
pardeness" and said many an American
soldier is dead in Europe because be
was not protected by armaments.
The Washington senator came into Or
egon, not only, to attack the League of
Nations, but to try to defeat Senator
Chamberlain. He appealed for a repub
lican senate and pointed out that the re
publican majority now is only two.
HOW ABOUT KEWBEBRT!
"How did you get 'emT" a man in the
gallery queried. By the votes of the
American people" Polndexter answered.
"How about Newberry V came another
question. The senator took a drink of
water.
Polndexter made no reference to
Chamberlain's record In the senate. He
made no attack on Oregon's senior sen
ator. He appealed for election of Stan-
field and McArthur on the ground that
they are republicans.
The Washington senator took occasion
to defend the , separate peace proposed
by Senator Harding. "We fought the
war separately, why can't we make peace
separately" he questioned.
He attacked President Wilson and his
administration and assured his audi
ence that the people of "Oregon will
find Senator Harding sympathetic to
their needs."
