LAW TAKES MAN
STOLE GIRL
OF
FEEBLE
Stealing
of- a feeble minded girl
from the state Institution at Salem
for immoral purposes, and then
transporting her through two North
west states as his wife, constitute
the charges in main filed today
against Criarles J. Cameron by As
sistant United States Attorney Fle-
gel. : ' j
The government prosecutor declared
this to be one of the worst cases ever
called to his attention. Over two years
ago Cameron, who was then assistant
engineer at the institution, is said to
have had trouble with his wife, who
was employed as cook at, the hospital.
Upon leaving the institution Cameron
is said to have taken 17-year-old Mary
Alvis with, him. The two are said to
have first j visited , the E;r convention
at Klamath Falls and to have later trav
eled by auto throughout"': Oregon and
Washington. The specific white slave
charge against Cameron lis for trans
porting the girl from; Vancouver to Sa
lem and back again three times during
August and September, 1919. The ase
was brought to the j attention of gov
ernment officials recently when the girl
gave birth to a child at the Salvation
Army Rescue home. ;
Cameron waa arrested Tuesday in
Centralia, iWash., and is now held in
the Multnomah county jail in default of
bond. I i :
MAN HELD FOR DRY LAW
VIOLATION DISCHARGED
Antone Anderson was given a directed
verdict this morning by Federal Judge
Wolverton on a liquor charge, when the
arresting government officers failed i to
produce enough evidence to convict him.
Before counsel for Andersdn realized
what the i court was about the judge
suggested that he file a motion for a
directed verdict. Anderson was arrest
ed at 554 Savier street, when a still was
found in his possession. No evidence
was found that Anderson owned the
still, ever; had it set up, or ever made
any liquor. Anderson said the still was
merely being stored Jn his home by an
acquaintance. The judge held that a
man could not be convicted on such
shreds of evidence. I i
LOCAL CHARGES AGAINST
SOLDIERS ARE DISMISSED
Charges of violating the national mo
tor vehicle act filed against three "Van
couver Harracks soldiers were dismissed
this morning by Fedjeral Judge Wolver
ton at the request of Assistant United
States Attorney Flegel. The request
was made because Foster C. Cheney and
Harmon B. Jones have been retuitned
to the military authorities for prosecu
tion and the third man, James L. Vest,
has been returned to the Monroe
(Wash.) reformatory to serve out j the
balance of his 15 year sentence for fob
bing a Vancouver store. The trio iwas

cember 19 by ttie police when found rid
ing in an automobile said to have been

"SHADOW" IS CLEVER
The machine was to go 10 miles an
hour because in that way no other ma
chines could follow it without attracting
attention.- It was to be marked with
the spotlights so that "Shadow" could
tell it a mile or more down the open
stretch of road.
But the police thought it necessary for
more than one machine to go along. Two
others were sent, too. These two ma
chines were kept circling the first ma
chine. They would run in front of it
for half a mile, turn around and run
back up the road for a spell, then
turn and race back again, a kind of
"fox and geese" business.
"Shadow" had picked his place with
great caution. Two miles beyond East

which crosses the Base Line road, run
ning north and south. On the north sid
of the Base Line road, lust a 'little
west of the cross road, back a hundred
feet from the road. Is a densely wooded
section. A few feet from the road on
which the machine was to pass
"Shadow" picked out a large thick tree,
which had the additional advantage of a
sign board shielding the spot from the
sight of a machine corning in to the city
on the Base Line road.
Behind this tree the mayor-chief found
the print of a knee, encased in corduroy
trousers. Here "Shadow" knelt down
while he waited for the machine carry
ing $25,000.
In front of this hiding place was a
long stretch of barbed-wire fence, which
skirted the road for several hundred feet
in either direction. ' ,
This fence had been cut, giving: a small
place a few feet to one side of the tree
where "Shadow" could dart out into the
road, snatch up the package and slip
back through the cut again.
The machine arrived. "Shadow" gave
the signal, while it was still a little way
down the road, then dropped the burn
ing newspaper, which the mayor-chief
found the next afternoon.
The package was thrown -out. The
machine ran on for a few feet, then two '

When they encountered the barbed

way through the woods. .By the time
the other two machines had arrived,
and detectives were running up and
down the road and flashing lights
throughout the fields, "Shadow" was out

All-Night Dances at
Estacada Prohibited
Estacada, Or., Jan. 13. The city coun
cil passed an ordinance prohibiting all
night public dances at Estacada. The
question had caused considerable argu
ment and, when it was known that the
city council planned to take action on
the question, the American Legion circu
lated a petition of remonstrance. At the
same time another petition was- pre
sented favoring such an ordinance. The
city hall was too small to hold the crowd
and the council adjourned to the high
school auditorium. In the final vote
all but one favored the ordinance.
