Where It?
Like tlio scriptural clog reluming to its vomit, the Ore
gonian returns to vituperative abuse of the Capital Journal
as a defense for Portland's failure to extend promised co
operation in establishing the linen industry in the Willamette
valley. All of which snarling and whining, while it may
gratify the spleen of the Orcgonian, is beside the mark and
doesn't answer the question, why docs Portland not co
operate?
"It takes two or more to cooperate," tritely remarks the
Orcgonian. It does indeed. That is the whole trouble. As
long as the valley and he state do the cooperating, every
thing is lovely. But when Portland is asked to reciprocate,
there is nothing doing, outside of glad-hand and hot air
excursions.
There will be no cooperation, threatens this wincing
galled jade of journalism, unless the Capital Journal main
tains silence or prefenibly starts a petting party for Portland
and slobbers sweet nothings to assuage outraged vanity.
This is subtle flattery indeed! The Capital Journal must be
growing in importance when it serves as a barometer for the
financiers of the metropolis !
But as there hasn't been any remarkable amount of
cooperation forthcoming from Portland, the valley will not be
losing much, if the Orcgonian makes good its bluff. The
way to cooperate is to cooperate, in this instance, for Port
laud to subscribe its promised quota in the linen mill.
By the way, will the Orcgonian name just one industry
vital in the development of Oregon, outside of Portland, that
X'ortland has cooperated in the financing thereof?
LUTE SAVAGE SHOT
BY SAME CONVICT
HE . ONCE CAPTURED
(Continued from I age One.)
No Country Club
Last evening's prison break, in which two guards njnri one
convict were killed and two other guards wounded, should
dispel the illusion that the penitentiary is a gentlemen's club
for the purpose of uplifting down-trodden humanity, un
fortunates who are more sinned against than sinning.
Many of the prisoners are desperate men, willing at any
time to sacrifice any life that stands between them and
liberty and the coddling of these criminals by relaxation of
discipline always results in just such fatal escapades as
that just enacted.
Prison reform, which means the over-indulgence of
prisoners and the sentimental treatment now the vogue, is
largely responsible for the wave of crime that keeps our,
prisons filled. They do things belter in England, whore a!
criminal is still regarded as an offender against the public
good and not as an unfortunale subjected to curative treat-i
merit. Punishment is not obsolete thereand the result, is1
one-tern n the crime that America has.
The success tjf the break indicates a deplorable lack of
disnphno and a lamentable laxness in system at the prison.
Otherwise it could not have succeeded. As a matter of fact
the prison Inis become a payroll refuge for aged
political hacks.

a year, and was finally found In
Sacramento, where he had been ar

returned here April 23 of this year.
Jonee nnd Murray were the ring
leaden of a group of about 10
convicts who hud to be kept under
constant watch, according to prls
on authorities, and several other
of their plots to escape have been
frustrated. Three other members
of this Ktune ring are now doing
lime in the "bull pen,'' the warden
nnounced.
Jones was considered the nervi
e.st and brainiest of I lie gang, but
the prison officials say that Mur

hard boiled'' and would shoot on
the least provocation.
This morning hospital officials
.said that Savage was resting eaS'

wounds.

of Hie prison, where for most of
his life he has been liked, feared
und respected bv the inmates.
"There is not a convict in the
penitentiary to whom Lute would
not give the ehirt off his back,"
said Warden Darrympie at the
time o the- sensational break on
March 28, 1124, when Lute made
himself famous by bringing in
three of the six men who broke
away. "He i the same to all of
them, ever cheerful and laughing,
and the all wouU go through hell
for Lute. IJut they know better
than to try any funny business."
Savage nabbed William Johnson
s: iwIq handed on the uflernon of
Friday. March 28. only some 12
hours after Johnson and li is five
companions had made their get
away. Savage pot the drop on ed to the Mexican border,
Johnson in tho brush back o(
Aumavllle, brought him In, turned
him over to the guards and went
back to the hunt, H
Relentless Pursuer. 11 J
While the hunt was taking
place Savago dio, not stop to re-
niove hia clothes between the time
the prlunors broke loose on FrI
day morning and the following
Monday night. He vent to bed at
that time leaving the request that
he be called If anything happened.
When tho word came Jn, late tn
the night, that :i home near Mar
ion had been ro!:hed, and that the
hunt was growing hot. he insisted
on Going out airufn. He was placed
in charge at Turner, a strategic
point, and it was at Turner that
Snvapte with Myers, another guard,
captured E.l.swjrth Kelly and Joe
Jackson.
Savage's reputation hoa been
built up through a long period of
years. In the early days he was
once guarding a ganj of prisoners
outside the prison walla. They
were digging a ditch. Lute warn
ed them all not to break away. A
certain Chinaman in the gang,
'lmihting the soundness of Lute's
idvice, suddenly started to run nt
top sp ed acrosu the fields. Ho
had run 100 yards, when there
woe one shot from Savage's rifle.
.lust one. that wan all. The China
man never r.'.n another step on this
earth.
dinned Off Nose
Years later, Lute wue walking
post on the prison wall one day
when Al Lawsun, notorious bad
man, who was al that moment
doing" special work in tho prison
yard, suddenly took It into his
head to attempt to getaway. He
got just far enough to put his nose
over the wall, when a bullet from
Savage's rifle dipped his nose off,
clean as a whistle.
In 191G, Savage received a high
rating as a member of the Oregon

Constantinople, Aug. 13 (AP)
Mustapha, Kemal Pasha, presi
dent of the Turkish republic has
discarded his wife Latife Hanoum.
An official statement says that
the president decided to separate
from his wife and has issued a de
cree pronouncing a divorce effec
tive from August 5.,
So reasons are given officially
for the divorce, but public rumor
has been busy for some time con
cerning the relations of the presi
dent. The divorce is attributed In
some quarters to a tendency to
masterfulness of Madam Latife
and to her desire to mix In mat
ters which her husband considered
outside her sphere. A serious dis
agreement became evident two
week.s ago when Madame Latife ,
left hurriedly to rejoin her par-l
ents. All the commissars for thej
Turkish government were present
to bid her adieu except the presi
dent. Mustapha Kemal Pasha was mar
ried January 29, 1023, to Latife
Hanoum, daughter of Mouaamerou
Chaiil Hey, a wealthy merchant of
Smyrna. The daughter is said to
have brought him a dowry of one
million Turkish lire. A few months
later Madame Latife, known as a
believer in women's rights, was
proposed as a deputy to tho Tur
kish parliament from Constanti
nople by women of that city who
were Indignant over the unsuccess
ful proposal of the Deputy Salih
Effendi to make marriage obligatory.

a posse near Woodburn, and all
the others were subsequently cap

George Fletcher, the convicts
inarched them with knives at their

In a scuffle they got a pistol from
