felt in Warsaw. Dispatches from there told how a spirit-of
dread crept through it as news came that the advance of the
Jjolsheviki continued unchecked. With Trotsky's army menac
ing the capital from the north and east, measures were taken for
a desperate defense of the city. People, including women, went
into the fields with picks and shovels and commenced throwing '

Tho suggestion made by friends of

Pendleton, that a suitable memorial
should be erected to his memory hue

Mayor Baker was told of it Saturday
afternoon.
It would le a fine tribute and a
fitting thing to do," he said. "It would
have my hearty support and my check

he continued, "would hold up before
the public not only the memory of Til
Taylor the man, but of Til Taylor tho
Ideal peaco officer of the Western
country.
"I knew Taylor well," tho mayor
suid, "and he could well bo chosen as
the model after which all ieace offi
cers should puttern. It was because
he was so pre-eniinontly qualified by
his courage, his coolness, his devotion

concluded, "f am subject to call."
Tentative plans are under consldcra

of a memorial program. The matter
will be taken up with the people of
Pendloton, thoso who were the dally
associates and close friends of the
murdered sheriff, and the character of
the memorial. Its estimated cost and
Its location will lie determined.

As each pair of prisoners was

they escaped one week ago Sunday,
large crowds assembled. The attitude
of the bystanders was about 90 percent
curiosity. There was about 10 percent
lynch spirit In tho crotl. Hart and

"All iva fismnd nrisuuiftTa T rm
sider equally guilty of the murder of
Sheriff Taylor and they will be charg
ed Jointly with first degree murder'
District Attorney R. I. Keator said to
day after having had conferences Sun
day with Jim Owens, Neil Iftirt, Jack
Rathie, Richard Patterson and Louis
Anderson in their cells at the county
Jail.
Hart tcld the dhrtrlct attorney that
the jail break had been planned jointly
by the five for a week and that he had
told them WeU have to shoot our
way out." To this they all consented,
Keator says Hart told him. ,
After considerable prodding by the 1
Sheriff and his assistants, all five yes
terday were more than willing to tell j
their stories. Owens told the district
attorney that his story of Saturday 1
night had not all been true. Keator i
also said today that he would inves-t
tlgate further the admission of Hart's
that he was implicated in the murder
of Fred Jennings and his wife near
Bancroft, Idaho, alleged to have been
made Saturday night.
Is AjsHiimecl a ante
One of the 'bolts from the sy yes
terday was Owen's assertion tat Jim
Owens is not his real name The dis
trict attorney promised not to reveal
the name Owens gave him, because of
his parents, who arfe said not to know
of his plight. Owens said he Is of
Scotch-Irish-Engllsh descent and has
no Indian or other dark blood in his
veins. He was 23 in March.
Meanwhile i.he engineers were driv
ing stakes' and meshing' barbed wire

the Red cavalry might sweep In a sud

fense of Warsaw. A battalion of them
participated in fighting- which precced
ed the fall of Lemza. 75 miles north
east of Warsaw. According1 to advtcea
from the front they stood a-gainst the
bolshevik to the last, suffering heavy
casualties. Warsaw dispatches abo
told of the arrivaj there of remnants
of another battalion of women for the
purpose of filling gaps In the ranks,
and reorganizing preparatory to fight
ing the bolsheviki a&ain. A Berlin
dispatch declared the Reds had occu
pied Bre-Litovskv ''nrWIint "strong

according to' the- German version.
Warsaw admitted the .Kiiwrians ere
"at Brest-Lit vosk" tout not that the
fortress had fallen. No definite word
is received of the Polish-Russian arm

plainly worried. They fear the Rus
