THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1921 Divine Music Comes From Behind r the Whiskers; Prince of House of David Band Plays at Prison What would yon think if.'while out hunting, a bear trap should grab your leg and hold It for - hoars, or for year and then sUd ..iv tbVtiortann. composed of al falfa shocks, hazel brush, tall weed patches, f air. y flashings and miscellaneous natural ambm cades, should suddenly burst into the most ravishing harmonies, the most entrancing measures and strains of ' splendid, crashing chords? ' And ' If that harmony could come down to your bear traoiied leg like the giant Ursus. rescuing the beautiful heroine In Quo Vadis, and'carry your soul . away to freedom and everlasting bliss? Wouldn't that be great! j .- Sta ll WhlKjl'W The : House of . David band dirt : just that to the trapped ones in the Oregon state penitentiary last night. They boast of their whis kers and long hair and goatees. The head David himself said of their thief trombonist: : "You can't ever tell Just what Is hidden behind the brush." They are traveling representa tives of a religions and social sect. with headquarters In Benton Har bor, Mich. The razor-maker and t he scissor gTinder woujd starve to death In their community, for un- cut' hair in one of their cardinal virtues. There Isn't bald head ': among their whole 20 players. Na ture seems to have said, "Aha. here's. a bunch of birds who be lieve In hair; I'll give them - a:plenty!" Such hair! It would make many a girl take poison ' from sheer.envy. There are some cute little piratical goatees and moustaches In the lot, but mostly it's' straight alfalfa. " . Hne !? Xo Thanks "But' that Is. a mere side line. What they do mostly is, to pay. And they .do play divinely. .They never eat' meat. Some of the players, of near middle age, have ' never tasted even . a mince pie that Is ' mostly dried apples and not genuine meat a-tall. The speaker for the company gave a brief exposition of their beliefs, during an Interlude in the pro gram. They expect never really to die. f They believe the ' body ought to go on living to a meat eating impossibly-old age. then !;i:.ii:::i;!!i: !;M lWtWMWIWWinWtlMMIiW;WIHWlllHHWH.Wlim;.WtHiWtMlMIWH I I t i i i i.

They are. non-militarists, and self-eon- ! tained In their industrial habit. They could cutjoose from all the rest of the world almost and go on makng almost everything humanity can use, right in their own community. Listener Still Gucwdnic But they certainly never made all that wonderful Jazz music out of vegetarian whiskers! It is a. conservative estimate that there were 50 trombones and a dozen drums and a whole squad of saxa phones in some of their Jazziest creations. Such bursts of sound never eame from only 20 players; they must have camouflaged a relay of noise-makers behind the rear curtain, or hypnotized their audience into believing sounds that were not there. One would as likely expect a sober elephanr. or a long-faced grandmother cow. to do a hootchy-koolchy muscle dance, as to see those reverend wilderness men playing a hone breaking jazz such as they put on. It is only one more truth that I stranger and funnier than fic tion. Prison Hearts Touched As a band, "the Houho of David organization Is in a class by itself. "The Last Rose or Summer," the beautiful ballad that touches the heart, fairly lived and breathed its fragrance through the silver horns. Most of the program was. by intent, light and airy, and aim ed to cheer rather than to be rem iniscent. Hut when the magnifi cent chord of the national anthem pealed out it gripped the hearts like the hand of a giant, like the hand of love. The cheering, trans ported audience rose as one man, in the finest tribute that can be paid to any music. - The audience was as enthusias tic as a houseful of children on Christmas eve. Their speaker brought many cheers and hand clappings by his clever presenta tion of the Davidic creed; and the music Itself never fell on more appreciative ears. It was such a treat as some peoph? never heard even outside th? grey walhr Warden Compton was the host Wiwmiminfii!arifiirfkrf'fltf!titmiimi!i i to the visiting musicians Monday afternoon, for a tour of all the state institutions, and for dinner in the evening. In return, mey offered to give the concert, whleh was arranged on the shortest of notice. The band came here to 4 fulfill an engagement at the Grand theater, but because of the (Jarron concert last night, had to hold over until tonight. They have made a practice to carry their gospel of good cheer; in to hospitals, prisons. every (dace where there is need for this splen did comfort, and were g!ad to serve the silent audie nce in! the Oregon institution. One might laugh at some of their notions, at their incredible whiskers and fer ocious Captain Kidd mustaehios but as musicians and as good fel lows and as men who look as if they believed what they say and are going to live the cenlury mark to scorn, they make a tremen dous hit.

Officer Birtchett id one of the nfl'i'-ers placed on the force at the beginning of Chief Moffitt's ad ministration. . With his wife and small son, Walter W... Jr., he lives at 09 4 North Commercial street. Although badly wounded by a shot fired from the :)2 calibre automatic in the hands of Hod gers. giant logger. Patrolman Birtchett; fought his big assail ant into a state of submission, and with the aid of Troy Wood, local taxi driver, placytl Rodgeis into a taxjeab ad brought him to the police station. Man Iteportetl Drunk The officer had responded to a call at 160 Highland avenue, where it was reported that Hod gers, intoxicated and brandishing a gun, had called at the home of his wife's mother and had threat eneu trouble. Mrs. Kodecrs. her brother C. Lee, and her Mother, Mrs. Millie Lee, were present whn officer Birtchett entered the room, he reported later. According to the report. Hod gers, who is nearly 6 feet 2 inches in height and heavily 'imilt, was seated in a chair. "I don't want any trouble, but you'll have to come with me and we'll talk it over down at the station," said Officer Birtchett, who also told Ridgers that he was not wanted at the Lee home. The two women and young Lee are said to have fled from the room as, Birtchett advanced to ward Hodgers. At this juncture Rodgers is said to hate jumped from his chair and pulled a gun, firing at Birtehelt and hitting him in the left side. The officer then grabbed Hodgers hand just as the big fellow's gun jammed. Officers hih Discharged In the scuffle that followed. Birtchett drew his own gun for the first time, hut was unable to use it as Hodgers had grabbed the officer's hand and violently wrenched it, causing Uirtchett's fingers to contract upon the trig ger twice. Two shots were fired during the time the two men were engaged in a battle for possession of the weapon. At the same time Birtchett, ignorant of the fact that Hodger's gun was useless, was banging his prisoner's fist on the floor in an effort to tear the gun from the big mail's grasp. Officer Wins Flsht After h had hammered Rod ger's hand into such a state of numbness that the weapon was dislodged, Birtchett shot a heavy fist into the man's face and he sullenly gave in. By this time, Woods had surmised that Birt chett might be in trouble and en tered the room in time to aid in placing Hodgers in the taxicab. Upon arriving at the station, Rodgers is said to have offered res.stence to Sergeant VAl and Officer Hayaden who searched the prisoner and placed htm in the city jail. Kodgers is declared to have been the cause of several com plaints made to Chief of Police MofLtt by Mrs. Rodgers. Sunday night the officers were informed jja I that Rodogers had burned clotb Hi 1 ing owned by his wife and had pi threatened to kill her. Mrs. liod fij ' gers is now aiding the man whom HIS i she would secure a divorce from, she had told officers. Drinking Admitted "I had a couple of drinks of moonshine," Rodgers told Chief Moffitt. The logger would nt say where he had secured the liquor, but indicated that it was obtainable in the lumber camps near Silverton where he has been employed recently. "This department Willi be crip pled during the temporary ab sence of Patrolman Birtchett," sa.d Chief Moffitt last' night. "This Is only another instance where a moonshine inflamed gun wielder ha3 brought a citizen and officer close to death. ; I have no doubt that Birtchett'sj injuries wou!d have been even more seri ous had Rodger's gun not failed him. Promotion Recommended ''Birtchett is one of oifr most courteous and efficient officers, and in recognition for his fear less and loyal devotion to duly I am recommending that he be pro meted to a seargency and He placed In ehanre of the street force at' night after January I, when four new officers will be ! added.
