grew in the field, according to Officer
( A. Cornell who mnde n survey of
the place. On either aide of (he firn liieh
grain, which stood above his iend across
llie entire field, was beaten down and
showed the imprints of two bodies that
had reclined in sleep. Four distinct
trails led nut through the field, showing
tbnt'the criminals, frightened at some
thing, had fled hurriedly. There was no
evidence of utensils or camping equip
ment lieing used, nnd Cornell is certain
that the convicts were the overnight
enmpera.
The four escapees are: Wynter Willis,
sentenced to eight yenrs from Multnomah
county for larceny; Cieorgc Holtsclnw.

says. One came in to leave pictures of
the escapees, making the total number
of such photos on file here 21, but no
aid was requested.
The last time state wardens came here
to run down their men was- when Har

KLANSMEN TOLD
TO
Abortive Campaign to Stir
Up Trouble Against Gov
ernment Is Abandoned; 'K.
K.K. Head Won't Sanction
Portland. Ore., June 21. (IT. P.)
The proposM recall of Governor Pierce
by the Ku Klux Klan has been abandon
ed, according to ttie announcement Here
today of Fred h. Giffmd, grand dragou
of the order.
Clifford aid that he had 'Mold the
boys to lay tiff," and that there woidd
be nothing started with his sanction. -
That GirlWoVs attcupcd, recall of
Governor Pierce was1 bound -to resuli in
failure is the opinion expressed by local
leaders of the Ku Klux Klan today. Thev ,
say the Portlander, who is head of the
Km Klux Klan in the northwest was
"sore because Pierce wouldn't let him
run tilings" and started the recall move
rundcrhandedty, hut couldn't get backinr
because his fellow klansmen were not of
the ward politician type that Gifford is.
The average klansmaii is well sntisfied
with the results of November r election,
they Ray, and holds no brief for -those
who would try to halt Pierce by such a
political trick.
Clifford's bluff, if it was a bluff, did
not last long. In all probability the
Steiner Issue drove him to cover in a
hurry, his former backers here say. They
aru well pleased with the record made at
the state asylum, which they -contend to
be one of the most economically manag.
ed of nil state institutions. And Dr.
Steiner, at that, la an anti-klansmah.
