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.

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

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-,

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.

arena were planning to run Sunday
dances . and show moving picture films
which were too "raw" to pass the Port

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. An address on
the scope of such a club was made by
Fred Lockley of Portland and was dis
cussed by many members.
G. S. Pelton, William Mclntyre and
M. S. 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." The same committee will
also confer with the new owners of the
arena.
In case present ordinances do not ex
elude public Sunday dances and uncen
sored films, the club asks the council
to pass new ones.

and passenger agent for the Southern
Pacific system at Chicago, who is vis
itor here today. Burger is making a

World Shorthand
Record Is Equalled
By Portland Girl
The world's record in taking dictation
In shorthand was equaled Tuesday aft
ernoon at the Portland Business show
at The Auditorium by Miss Betty Wein
stein, aged 16, in an exhibition contest.
Miss Weinstein wrote 425 familiar word
in one minute while blindfolded and aft
erward read her shorthand notes cor
rectly to the audience of several hun
dred people who witnessed the performance.
More than 20 years ago Professor De
ment, an author of shorthand textbooks.
wrote 425 words from dictation in one
minute and his achievement has since
that time constituted a world's record.
I believe I could write more than 425
words in one minute," said Miss Wein
stein, "If I were able to get some person
who can dictate that fast to me."
Secretary Waldo Tupper of the Busl
ness show announced that he would en
deavor to find someone who could dic
tate more than 425 words per minute, to
participate In another speed contest.
Miss Weinstein Is a native of Port
land and completed her grammar school
work at the Failing school. For the
past six months she has been a student
of stenography at a local business col
lege. Interest In the Business show is stead
ily increasing, according to Secretary
Tupper. More than 10.000 people vis
ited The Auditorium during Monday and
Tuesday to inspect the exhibits of labor
saving and time saving devices. Attend
ance today will be restricted to execu
tive heads of business establishments
here and in neighboring towns.
