All forms of. gambling includ-
'doll and knife racks, eandv
boards and other games of chance
are to be barred from the Oregon
state fair grounds during the fair
tnis year. Chief of Police Moffltt
announced this morning.
For the first time in history the
policing of the fair grounds will

accordingly.

grounds and with regular city po
lice headquarters by direct wire.
Men to Be in Uniform
The work of patroling the fair
grounds will be divided into two
shifts of 12 hours each, the long
shift being from 12 o'clock noon
until midnight. The shift between
midnight and noon will be split In
to two watches of six hours each
The night patrol, from midnight t
6 a. tn. will consist of eight me.
All but six of the 20 extra me

uniform.
"The same police restriction,
will apply to the fair grounds a:
are regularly enforced In the city,'
Chief Moffltt said. "This is out
initial attempt at policing the
grounds and we are going to makt
a complete success of it If such a
thing is possible. The games ol
chance, use of liquor and other
complaints that have been made
against fair week practices on the
grounds in previous years will not
be tolerated."
To Enlaree Citv Force
To handle the additional traf
fic and large crowds down town
during fair week, two motorcycle
men working out of regular head
quarters will be added and an
automobile will be on duty at all
hours at headquarters to speed up
service on emergency calls, Chief
Moffitt announced.
Chief Moffitt, who will exer
cise general supervision over both

Premier Declares
Peace Offers Are
Most Liberal Yet
Premier Declares Rejection of Terms by Irish
Leaders Will Place Responsibility for Re
newal of Bloodshed Upon Them.
T.mdrn AuiT. 19 The British srovernment in its Irish
peace offer had conceded everything it was possible to con
cede, Premier Lloyd-George declared to the house of com
mons today in his expected statement on the Irish peace
negotiations. .
It embodied the largest measure of freedom ever offered
Ireland, he said, and he hoped the Irish leaders would not
reject it "and take the responsibility of renewing a conflict
which would be robbed ol all glory ana an S'""uc "
overshadowing horror.
Provision had been made, he
said, for the summoning of parlia
ment on 48 hours' notice if nego
tiations broke down and the pros
pect of .peace became hopeless. He
hoped, however, that reason would
prevail and the government's de
sire for an ending of the long mis
understanding between England
and Ireland would be realised.
The prime minister's words were
paralleled in the bouse ot lords by
Lord Curson, the foreign secre
tary, as to the government's offer
having alrady gone to the limit.
All that could be given without
compromising the safety of the
realm, the sovereignty ot the
crown and the dignity of the em-

Under the cover of darkness
sometime Wednesday or Thursday
night, thieves operating with a
motor truck entered the home of
Mrs. William Patrick, a half mile
north ot 8akta in Polk county, on
the Wallace road, ransacked the
place and removed everything In
the house with the exception of
the kitchen range and dining room
table, according to Chief of Police
Verden M. Moffltt of Salem, who
was called by Polk county officials
to assist in the case this morning.
Just what the value of the arti
cles taken by the thieves will
amount to the officers are unable
to estimate, as Mrs. Patrick and
her daughter, Rose Bodayle, are at
Newport, where they went several
days ago to spend their vacation.
During the absence of Mrs. Pat
rick and Miss Bodayle a friend,
Byran Gibson, employed by the
Postal Telegraph company in Sa
lem, has been going to the Patrick
place each day to see that every
thing was all right. This morning
reported the theft to Sheriff John
Orr at Dallas, who sent Deputy
Sheriff Imlah to Investigate.
Investigation revealed the
tracks of the truck where It had
been drawn up beside the fence in
front of the house. The fence had
been broken down, Indicating that
the thieves had carried the furni
ture and other articles out of the
house and across the yard.
When Mrs. Patrick left she had
the electric power turned off, and
the burned matches with which
the floors are strewn Indicate by
what light the thieves worked.
Everything of value In the house
was taken, Including furniture,
diehes, silverware, clothing and
other articles.
Most of the stolen articles were
new (he officers believe, as Mrs.
Patrick but recently moved into
the house from her former borne in
Dallas.
Neighbors neither saw the truck
or the thieves and have been un
able to throw any light on the
