PAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1923 RELATE STORY to Monitor, Aug. 18. How they were snatched from a friendly fame of carde in the back room of a pool hall to become leading players In the melodramatic dash for freedom of the three convicts Who shot their way out of th Oregon penitentiary lafct Wed nesday was related here last Bight on the return of Leo Wlldo, Otto Lucht, Lawrence Jacobs an Joseph Llechte, who were kidnap d from Monitor Sunday night. WHde, who was carried as hostage as far as Portland by the desperadoes, told the story Deputy Warden Liliey. "The four of us were sitting 1 the poolroom playing cards, Wilde eatd. "A fifth had just left. We heard somebody come in, Then someone came around the partition, covered us with a pin tot and Introduced himself by saying: 'Now Just sit still, boys, Keep your hands In the air an you won't get hurt.' The other two then came In and they searched us, finding no guns. "They then gathered ap somo canned goods, took several dol la re. out of the tilt, leaving sev eral dollars, says they 'Just wnnted some change.' Then they took us outside, got us all Into Lawrence Jacobs' Mitchell auto mobile and we started off down the Pacific highway." All went well, nccordlng to th tory, until they wore on the out- BKirts or canny. Here the. car ran out of gasoline and one tho boys wjib forced to walk to a garntra at Can by and get some "When the gasoline was poured into the lank t lie auto won 1 (In start," Wlldo continued. "Thoy b came angry and accused us boys of doing something to the car. Finally It got to working, how ever, and drove on down the Pu cine highwoy toward New Kra. "About 6 o'clock Monday morning we pulled up to f!. L. Newmnn's ranch, which Met little off tho highway on a side road. The occupants of tho houe were asleep and our kidnapers awoke them, pushed their way into the house and searched mem bers of the family for guns, hu found none. They told tho New mans they would not be harmed as long as they did what they wero told. Murray apparently was the leader. H0 was giving moot of tho instructions yester day. The convict trio spent th flay shaving and cleaning up rustling food and getting clothes. Except for a few scratches and burns on th0 hands from sliding down tho ropes at the penitent! ary noin of them bad any par ticular wounds. Murray ccrtnlnly was not seriously hurt. "About 7:110 p. m. they began retting ready to leave tho ranch' Wilde went on. "They decided to take Leslie Newman, 17 yenr old ion of tite owner of tho ranch and myself. Young Newman did the driving and we proceeded to Portland. Murray told Newman not to speed at any time so as to attract attention, llefore we left the ranch Murray told the oth ers: 'These boys will be allowed to live if you remain quiet and end 1n no alarm. We will leave them unharmed If you do th! "On the way to Portland we encountered four traffic officers. Each time we pawed an officer there was a little tension but nothing happenod. After we en to red the city limits we passed icveral uniformed officers on the streets before arriving at Tenth and Washington. "When they left us Murray aid 'to go on and re member as little as possible and you'll come out all right.' " 'When you get back to Mon- Uor hang a curtain on the back window of that pool hnll,' Wlllos told us, 'then we won't bo able to watch you as we did this time.' " Wilde, who is 26 years old, Is an automobile salesman and lives at Monitor. He is unmarried. Ja cobs, whose motor car the con Tlcts commandeered, and Lucht, are young farmers living near Monitor. Llechte Is employed In m pickle fnctnry at Monitor. He w 24 years old and single.

Wo also have several bauds and or cheslras besides those which ap pear on the main-tent program. And let it be distinctly understood that every man traveling with our circus has a sleeping berth on our trains. I know there is a popular belief that the circus laborer bunks on the tops of wagons and goodness knows where. That's pure bosh. I sometimes think that thin impression is due to the fact that scores of the laboring men iro seen fully dressed and perched ou the tops of vans, etc., when the circus trains arrive In the railroad yards, lint It should he remem bored that these men are required for instant work the moment the Lrains come to a KtandsLf 1 1 , and lu view of this, have been roused by their respective bosses from their quarters a full half hour before. To suppose that they hadn't been in a real be., would be simliur to arguing that tho passengers on a '.rack Pullman flyer hud sat up all night merely because they are ready to be handed down by the car porter when their train ar rives at a station. "If the circus laborer Is at times arelesfily dressed, rt doesn't follow that ho has no other wardrobe Hear in mind thai the great ma jority of people who travel on trains wear their best bib and ueker. That is, all hut the fire man and engineer. They are the workers. And the laborer with a big circus Is a worker, too. He Is f the claws who work deep down n mines, or build great railroads. lie or thoy can't wear boiled shirt iin d don t. unless It be no Sunday iiftcrnoon or evening, when the lircus never exhibits, thus allow ng the workeru a weekly holl- lay." The 1025 edition of the great est show on earth requires more aborors than over before. There ire many added features. One if the biggest of these Ih the equine ballet, numbering 150 horses In he "gavotte of the garlands." This is entirely apart from the per forming horses that are presented later In the program In the three rln9 and In two added rings placed upon stccl-strurturi'd stages.

Many people have discovered that digestion is very mnterinlly aided by eating Pep-o-mint Life Saver after meals. If you're troubled this wny it will pay you to try them. They are Life Saver$ A controversy between local la bor representatives and proprietors of two Salem restaurants, the Argo and the Home, came to a head yes terday with the announcement by labor union officials that the two eating places have been placed on the unfair list. Failure to meet the union wage scale was declared to be the reason for their action. Waitresses, they declare, receive 111 and $12 a week at the Home and Argo, the union wage for wait resses being 116 per week. In defense of his scale John Loper, proprietor of the Argo res taurant, declares that he la "pay ing better in the kitchen than their wage scale, and equal in the din ing room." While the statistics an nounced by the union are correct, Loper states, they fall to mention that his waitresses "only work about 6 or 6 hours a day," as compared to a straight 8 hour shift In other eating places, Loper de clares that waitresses in his estab lishment go to work at about 11:30 In the morning, work until about 2:30, then go to work again at 5:30 and continue until 7:46. A few extras here and there bring the total average up to not more than Q hours dally, he says. Richard O'Leary, proprietor of the Home restaurant, was out of the city on a short vacation and could not be reached. Loper Insists that his kitchen help Is better paid on the average than the union scale, ranging from $16 a week to $20 a week for help ers. He also states that his wait resses get thulr meals free of charge, an Item not entered Into the estimates. Also, ho says, he docs not want to be forced to get his help entire ly from the personnel of the culin ary workers union, which would bo the case If he complied with labor regulations. "I want to se lect my own waitresses, rather than being forced to get them through tho union. Tho union Is not large onough to give me a wide enough choice. 1 told them all that when they camo to see me about It, and explained that I wasn't trying to bunk them." S. li. Davidson, business agent for the Salem Trades and Labor council, this morning denied that waitresses in tho Argo and Home restaurants work fewer hours than union workers. 'They have to work 12 hours to got in an 8 hour day," he said. 'Thoy work three broken shifts. While they aren't waiting on table hey have to keep busy with their laundry or something else." Loper declares that only a small proportion of his waitresses bar to appear for breakfast at all, and the few who do are excused from other work, making the total time put In not more than 6 ft hours dally. Davidson this morning produc ed statistics showing that the low est possible scale for kitchen work era ,clasa C for helpers, la $16 'a week, although he stated that oth er classifications go much higher. In the local restaurants, he said, members of the families of the pro prietora had charge of the kitchens and no attempt was being made to force union conditions upon them. Present plans do not; Involve placing pickets In front of either establishment, Davidson said. CLOVERDALE DEFEATS RICKEY WILDCATS In a hard fought game that was not definitely decided until the last out was made, the Clover- dale baseball nine defeated the Rickey Wildcats on the high school grounds Sunday afternoon by a score of 6 to 3.
