OREGON GARDNER PERHAPS PLOWING KRAUT, IS TIP FROM I mm LJt word from Roy Gardner, escaped McNeil laland prisoner, came over the well known grapevine wirelewi fcort Germany, where Gardner has been plow- Ins sauer kraut. But in ihe meantime Gardner or his ghost has keen haunting every city and hamlet on the Pacific coast "That's the war with bandits. though," declares Em matt Dal ton, who retails the "sauer kraut" tip from Ta- coma, where he visited before lie came to Portland Tuesday for a brief stay Dal torts card rates him as president and f ensral manager of Standard Pictures. Inc., of Los Angeles. Da) ton rets his "inside" information on Gardner intuitively, for he Is said to be perhaps the only living man whose personal exploits in crime make Gard ner's record look like school boy mimi cry. He is the last surviving member of the famous Dalton gang of bandits that terrorized the Middle West. Tax Revision Bill Is f- Reported to Senate By Boise Penrose Washington, Sept. 2X. (L N. S. The tax revision bill was reported to the senate today by Senator Penrose a few minutes after the senate reconvened. Penrose stated he would not submit ils report on the .bill until tomorrow. when he would press for its immediate consideration. Senator La Follette (R-. Wis.) served notice that he would file a minority re port In opposition to the bill, as did Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, in be half of the Democratict members. Under the senate rules the bill went over until tomorrow. RESIDENTS CUIUS MIU1M WAYLAID, ROBBED ON ROAD the claims. The large vault was opened and Its contents found to be in perfect condition. The small vault was found to be in good condition and two of the safes, from which the contents had not been removed, were in fairly good shape. Securities and cash were safe but a num ber of books were badly scorched. ABOUT DANCE HALL Three highwa;- jen held up and robbed P. Young, driver for the Rose City dairy, about 12:30 o'clock this morning, as he was on the rounds of delivering milk. The robbers obtained only $5 and a drive's license. Toung was hailed at Forty-second street and Portland boulevard by a man who asked for a ride. After going a few blocks the stranger's hat blew ' off and when he came bck to the car, V 5 pulled a gun and demanded that the driver stick up his hands. Instead Toung shoved him from the running board. Two other men who had been riding in the back of the machine, unnoticed, then pulled Young from the seat and searched him for valuables. The two men had been "planted" at the point where the stranger's hat "blew off." Residents of Mllwaukie in mass meet-, ing assembled at the Mllwaukie high school Tuesday night passed resolutions strongly .condemning any invasion of their city by elements which tend to I lower the, moral tone. The resolution As 'a motion picture producer with was base on reports that Portland Der- mil man rnr rtiiurA Qcnyirv iiairnn shows none of the signs of the bandit j career that sent him to prison under life . sentence a sentence that exacted j 14 years of his life before he was paroled. Claiming some authority In the sub ject of banditry, Dalton urges on Gardner the futility of his ways. He believes that the McNeil Island convict was safe ty on the mainland and en route, per haps, to Mexico, before news of the escape reached the world. "I Can only say, that Gardner is a very foolish young" man," Dalton says, "and I think my own experience makes me an authority to say what I think of Gardner's actions. Crime is one thing a man can't get away with and the sooner Gardner Realises that the sooner will he surrender and take his medicine. As convict he has a chance for a pa role or pardon, but as a fugitive he is a marked man as long as he lives." Dalton'a picture productions thus far have been designed to discourage crime among young folk, basing his stories upon his own lire. Railway Economics Director Arrives to View Scenic Spots J. II. rarmalee, director of the bureau of railway economics, accompanied by Mrs. Parmalee, arrived at the Multno mah hotel this morning from Nevt York on a vacation trip. They expect to spend considerable time in this vicinity, seek! ing some of the coast resorts and in vestigating the charms of highway . and mountain. "I am getting away from office wor ries. ' explained the bureau chief this morning. "Mrs. Parmalee and I have never been west of Chicago before and we want to make the most of our oppor tunity now. I suppose I shall look after business, too, bur the less the better." Parmalee wanted to sec some coast scenery like he had previously een along the coast of Maine and was directed to eoroe of the wonder spots along the Ore gon roast. sons who recently purchased the boxing arena were planning to run Sunday dances . and show moving picture films which were too "raw" to pass the Port land board: of censorship. That the 'exact facts in the case might De Known, nowever, tne meeting ap pointed a committee to confer with the new purchasers of the boxing arena and ascertain what their plans are. It has been denied by the purchasers that un censored films were to be run at the place. The resolution was presented by Mrs. Maggie Johnson, president of the Mil waukie Community club. The Rev. F. M. Fisher, presiding, was instructed to appoint a committee on permanent or ganlzatlon of the club.

Shrock were appointed to inter view the Milwaukie city officials to de termine what the ordinance restrictions may be with respect to Sunday dances and moving picture censorship and to "solicit their aid in protecting the city against vice."
