'Xeill and ! they -will vouch for my

' Brady Is known to both Dr. Norden
and O'Neill.
The package containing $100 was
dropped by Nelson on Twelfth street, be
tween Alder and Washington streets, in
front of the house where Brady was
I later known to have roomed.
"CHATTY" DIUVT tiET THE I1A0
i '
! One of the purported telephone cenver
! nations which Nelson had with Brady s
j said to have been a discussion over the
j failure of Brady togt the $100 whJoh
i Nelson pays he dropiwd on the sidewalk.
Brady is alk-fred to have told Nelson that
hf was out $100, because. he did not carry
1 out orders, and that he wuld" keep the
diamond ring. I'olice have not been able
to learn who picked up the envelope con
taining the $100. .
Ktldently tiring of house breaking and
its jetty return, the 'Talkative Bur
Klar" souc-ht new and" more lucrative
fields. For two weeks She rejrular visits
of the jovial robber ceased. The detec
tive crew lukewarm on the trail of j
Hrady as the man then wanted on
I charires of perpetrating these robberies.
Thencame the flood of letters threat -jeniriJT
death to a number of. prominent
I'ortlanders. The detectives were at a
lops to explain their source.
LIPMA" SHOWS I.KTTKR
Will ;K. llpnian, one of the victims
of the "Shadow." as the elusive black
mailer called himself, was showing the
letter he received at a social Fathering
a few weeks ago. Nelson was there and
identified the letter as having been
-w ritten by the same man with whom
he had . negotiated as the "Talkative
Burglar."
Handwriting experts examined the let
ter written to Nelson by the "Talkative
Burglar" and thope written to the black-!
mail victims vy tne snaoow ana pro
nounced them as being written by the
same man.
For a time the detectives were work
ing 'on the. theory thrft the 'Talkative
Bursrtar" had a "pa.V wp posed as the
""Shadow." Now they beNue- that the
two characters are embodied by the one ;
man. Through this course of reasoning
they arrive at the conclusion that Brady
is also responsible for the blackmail
notes.
STORY t,MS OPKftATIOXS
Until the time the story linking these
two . characters to one marj was pub
lished the "Shadow" continued to pour
threatening notes into the mails ad
dressed to his seven picked victims.
From the time the story was pub
lished, the .Shadow" has dropped into
oblivion as far as his intended blackmail
victirhs are concerned. This would indi
cate that he was scared away by the
knowledge that the police were close
upon his 'trail.- is believed that he
has left town.
The mysterious disappearance of
Brady at that time also lent credence to
the report that it was he the police were
seeking as the arch-plotter of two types
of crime.
JESCRIPTiO!V OF TWO TALLIES
The description of Brady tallies with
that of the "Talkative Burglar" as given
the police by some of his victims and
with ,that of the "Shadow" given by Dep
uty Sheriffs Jack Lamonte and Molien
hour, who engaged the blackmailer in a
gun battle along the Base Line road last
Friday morning.
The composite description of all three
is of a man about five feet seven inches
in height and weighing 135 pounds, age
33.
' The last known of Brady since his ap
pearance in Portland the latter part of
last .year was in 1905, when he was a
piano player at the El Camps saloon in
the Iarls house, a north end resort.
POLICE HEAR OF HIM.
Brady disappeared shortly after that
time, and during his absence from Ore
gon is said by police to have been con
victed on various charges in at least
three other states.
It is not I knoVn just what Brady
worked at after his return. He picked
up the Hawaiian . dancers at the Star
shortly after they were left by their for
mer manager. Trace of the dancers has
not been found, although police have
been given the information that the girls
are living in the vicinity of Gresham.
O'Neill first grew suspicious of Brady
when ' The Journal .published a picture
of the "Talkative Burglar" drawn from
descriptions given by his victims. The
resemblance of the; picture to Brady
caused O'Neill to report his belief as
to the, similarity to the detective bureau.
It was the stocking cap which Brady
wore and which the artist's conception
of the "Talkative Burglar" portrayed
that drew O'Neill's suspicions particu
larly. Theory that the "talkative burglar"
and "The Shadow" .' are one and the
same man and that Joe Brady enacted
the dual role, is discountenanced by Po
lice Captain Harry Circle.
-MAST CHARGES AWAIT
If . one man is responsible for the
activities of the "Shadow" and the
"talkative burglar," as the police be
lieve, he will nave many charges to face
upon his capture. There will be federal.
state ana municipal cases.

charges of blackmail and charges of mis
use of the mails, attempts to kill and
threats to kill, would likely be placed

SEATTLE WANTS

POS
QUITS SHIP BOARD
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 21. Business
men launched a campaign here to
day to get a Seattle man appointed
to the-vacancy expected to be caused,
on the United States shipping board
with the retirement of Joseph N.
Teal of Portland.
Teal is reported to have . said
that he will not be a candidate for a
longer tenure than he will serve under
his unconfirmed appointment by Presi
dent Wilson.
It was reported here that ex-Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon was being boost
ed for the expected vacancy, by Port
land men.
Trade men here point out that there
are two Pacific coast members on the
board-; that both of them axe from the
south Pacific district embracing Oregon
and San Francisco, and that Puget
Sound is unrepresented.
Will H. Humphrey, former congress
man from this state and a staunch Re
publican, is mentioned here as a pos
sible candidate.

TEAL, SAYS CEMENT MAX
The United States eenate probably
will confirm the appointment of Joseph
N. Teal as a member of the shipping
board if he indicates a willingness to
remain on the board, during the Hard
ing administration, according to F. li.
I.avman. who returned Thursday from
Washington, where he represented th
Beaver Cement company of Ciold Hill
and other clients at a rate hearing be
fore the interstate commerce commis
sion. "Teal has created an extraordinarily
favorable impression at Washington and
is generally considered the strongest
man on the board," Layman stated to
day. "Although the general feeling in
Wa&hington heretofore has been that
the senate would not confirm any of
President Wilson's recent appointments
to the shipping board, the present opin
ion of those in close touch with the
situation is that the senate will confirm
Teal's arjnointment if he indicates a
I willingness to remain on the board."
Layman spent aoout a montn at
Washington, attending the final hear
ing on the petition of the Oregon Port
land Cement company of Oswego for a
mileage freight rate scale on shipments
of cement, the petition being opposed by
Layman and attorneys for other Paciifc
Coast cement mills.

Sunday Morning's
Synagogue Services
Proving Attractive
The institution of a Sunday morning
assembly at Temple Beth Israel has
aroused a great deal of interest. The
regular Sabbath services are held on
Kriday evening at 8 and on Saturday
morning at 10:30. These services have
always been open to the public and are
freely attended by men and women of
all creeds. The Sunday assembly is fos-
! tered by the general Jewish community
! . . , ; i l i U n ...
ana nas oeen uiuurxru l'y uivuv
well as reform congregational leaders
and by lay groups.
The serv ices have been very well at
tended and have not reacted against the
attendance at the regular Sabbath ser
vices. The use of a ritual has been dis
pensed with and in its place has been
substituted group singing and Bible
reading, with a lecture. Rabbi Jonah B.
Wise is the speaker and the singing is
led by Walter Jenkins. The general
public is cordially invited.
Rabbi Wise announces his subjects for
the next four weeks as follows : "The
Sabbath Was Made for Man," "The Fu
ture of Palestine," "Religion and
Citizenship" and "Abraham Lincoln."
In the Kast quite a number of syna
gogues have regular Sunday morning
services. . This is the first time that a
synagogue has attempted anything of
this kind on the Pacific coast.
Portland society will be called
upon en masse Saturday, January
29,' to participate with the kiddies
of the city in "'putting over" what
tne theatrical men who are' spon
soring it declare will be: a spectacu
lar campaign to swell the fund of
the European relief council, of
which- Herbert Hoover is chairman.
And every cent that is collected will
be delivered to the treasury of the
Hoover fund.
The nation's showmen have agreed
to amass $3,500,000 in a single day for
Hoover relief and Oregon's 1 per
Cent quota is $35,000. Hence Portland
theatre managers and employes are co
operating to secure that amount in the
one day.
SOCIETT TO ACCTIO LOGES
j Unusual features of the program pro
vided will be the society auction of loge
seats for the midnight matinee that will
rhark the conclusion of the day. . The
auction of seats will take place at the
Benson hotel on next Wednesday eve
ning and the matinee itself will be taken
In charge by the Junior league.' Mrs.
William MacMaster will serve as chair
man of society's participation.
On January 29 the Rivoli and Hippo
drome theatres will hold morning mati
nees for school children, and all admis
sion fees paid, being free from war tax
and with house ehares not deducted,
will go to the relief treasury. On the"
same afternoon virtually every sub
urban theatre in the city will hold a
special matinee for the same purpose.
Films have been donated free of rental
by the several local exchanges.
SEATS $8.50
Society enters the, plans at the mid
night matinee, and a program of unusual
features will include not only local
talent, but the best available profes
sional entertainment. . Seats- will sell at
$2.50 each, it is planned, and will admit
patrons to an evening of spectacles.
The interest of society girls is being en
listed that they may act as ushers and
in other capacities.
It is hoped to hold an auction sale
on the stage during the matinee, too,
and to dispose of donated dainties for
the benefit of the fund. The services of
Frank Branch Riley have been solicited
as auctioneer.
ALL COFS TO FUSD
Officially, the activities of the entire
day will be under the direction of the
Motion Picture League of Oregon, of
which W. A. (iraeper, state chairman of
ihe relief drive, is a member. Graeper
Is also chairman of the league commit
tee, which includes Paul K. Noble, R.
H.: Winsor, A. C. Raleigh, O. A. Metz
ger, C li. Feldmah, J. A. Bradt and
David Brill.
"For every cent we collect in the
drive we will give something in re
turn, and without a penny taken out
for costs or taxes the entire sum will
be- delivered to thcrelief treasury," said
Noble, who is chairman of a subcom
mittee on publicity.

her head was housed in a packing case,
