THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON. FRIDAY MORNINfl. JANUARY 14. 1921 i ; V ' - . - ' i i - - TRAVELING IN IRELAND People Filled With Suspi cion and Distrust and Conditions Deplorable DUBLIN'. Dec. 20. Ireland to day Is a land where it Is advisable for the newly arrived, unacquaial I'd traveler to tell the hall porter at his hotel who he is, his nation ality, his bus.nrss in town and how long he expects to stay; then be most circumspect in whatever he does or says. . People ' with uncertain back grounds or on indefinite missions pet courteous' receptions, but it if futile fori them to expect the.r welcomes 1 to be tinctured with anything approaching familiarity, normally one of the dominant Irish characteristics Therefore the wisdom or; "slogins out your business," as one American trav eler expressed it, to your hall por ter. - : Uninitiated Americans perhaps would not understand the impor tant position occupied by this functionary. He is a veritable en cyclopedia of information and Who's Who" iof everything Im portant concerning the hotel, its management and staff and its guests. j . It is this individual that raiders almost invariably consult when they make their unconventional visits to hostelries in search of wanted persons. His statement that" a person asked for was an American Gt' Frenchman and that he came to. town for some legiti mate purpose has been known to save the guest an abrupt waking and quiz, possibly at' the point ol a revolver. -; j Instances recently published in newspapers of j persons shot "by mistake" or. as; has been claimed In at least one i case, because the victim had beea seen conversing with a "marked man" ha infust-d the whole social atmosphere in Ireland with suspicion and diffi dence. Travelers learn sooner or later that no one wants to know anyone else in Ireland today un less some Torm of credentials Is forthcoming .or a mutual friend is willing to vouch for the newcom- jer's acceptability and trustworthi ness. TLis state of affairs has trans formed, old-time happy-go-lucky Ireland into a country where con versations in public places are carried on in undertones, where not shifty, but shifting, frutive glances are shot at strangers, and where no one Is his brother's keeper. . . f SALEM MAN'S STORY READS LIKE FICTION (Continued from page 1) LADD & BUSH BANKERS Established 186S r Y ' 1" General Banking Buainen Office flonn from 10 a, m, to 3 p. m.

They entered a Pullman roach. "This man is very sick. Fix his berth as soon as you can," tlo hie man said to the porter. The por ter complied. The berth was an upper one. The two kidnappers! had reserved the lower berth' in I the same section. When Daniels was in the berth the two men ordered him to re move his coat and shoes, lie did so and started to unloose his belt "Never mind the trousers, we'll take them off." the men told him. As Daniels lay in the bed. the strangers, standing on the lower berth and with the cartains veil ing them, poured a drug into a handkerchief and administered it to his nostrils. In a moment Dan iels was unconscious. All else is blank until the awak ening on the ferry boat betw'een Oakland and San Francisco. This was Saturday night last. Deckhand H ilent, Pazed. and unable to collect his wits, Daniels asked a deckhand where he was. "On a ferry going from Oakland to "Frisco"," he was Informed. "But how do I happen to be here?" asked the dazed youth. The deckhand shrugged his shoulders. "I suppose be though I was crazy." Daniels told Chief Moffltt. When the San Fransico side was reached Daniels says he was very weak. A cheap rooming house was at hand and he applied for lodging. Kvidently be collap sed, for he has a remembrance that someone put him to bed. He did not awake until Sunday night. He was still groggy and weak and drank some coffee,, then went back to bed and slept until Monday morning. His mind was clearer and he returned to Oakland. Re membrance of the girl came, and suspicion worked in his brain. Had she desired to get him out of her life, he speculated, and hired ruf fians to accomplish the purpose? , Suspicion Dispelled. Then he remembered the note he had been forced to write in the taxicab. " . . .This bit of memory was a great happiness in the numbed brain of the youth walking the Oakland streets, for it dispelled suspicion of the girl. Between Salem and San Fran cisco Daniels $10 had been taken from him, but someone had slip ped $2 in change into one of his pockets. The young man tells Chief Mof fltt that he has no enemies that he knows of. But th girl nray have thrown some light on the case. ;irl llcraUs Threat. Last September, she informed Chief Moffitt. she met a young man in Salem who insisted upon thrusting his at ten lions, upon her. One night at her home he noticed the picture of a young man on the piano. "Who Is that?" ho asked. -"Thai is tbo man to whom I am engaged and whom I am going to marry." answered the girl. At this, she says, the visitor choked her and declared that if she ever married any man but him he would kill her and burn ber borne. The girl believes the oc currence of last Friday uiay have been bia effort to carry , out the threat. She believes the separa tion at State and Liberty streets was observed by. the mm who had threatened her J and that he and his accomplic Allowed hia to the depot. About this theory there is some plausibility because of the note Daniels Bays the gunman j compelled him to address to his wife, for he had not informed the ruffians that he had a wife. Clews are Followed. Daniels had not entirely re covered from the adventure when he returned to Salem and it was necessary for the conductor to as sist him from the train.' The young newlywed. are un certain about going to the Idaho farm. . "There are --. no policemen there." the girl told the chief. a a a aim i am airaiu. Daniels thinks they'will go to the farm when the girl has recov ered from her fright. Several clews are beiiig follow ed by the officers. Local taxicab drivers discla'in knowledge of the local end of the abduction. for sUtistics as to livestock una lands devoted to commercial, ag riculture and horticulture prod ucts in the several counties, anl for tabulating and summarizici same.
