Two Southern Pacific special agents were on his trail Inst night, the booxe had been appre hended since Sunday, and the Albanv police force, the special agents and the sheriff held a session in front of th hotel that lasted until 12:30 last night. In addition Brennan is supposed to have been advised by his attorney to reaiat arrest without a warrant. De spite all this the man was still at the hotel when the request for the arrest arrived here thia noon.

Rolsheviki Reported in Election Victorv STOCKHOLM, July 2. fU. P.) Pctro-rrad dispatches today declare that the Bolshevili rve won a com plete victory in the elect: n although they wer strongly opposed by the proletariat. Mm. Trace Rrtu Mrs. L. E. Tracy returned this, morning to her home in Eugene. . here may hav been due to the activ ities of the Southern Pacific agents, who camped on his trail, so to speak. One of the agent arrived in Albanv yesterday evening and was tipped as to the identity of the alleged bootleg ger. Having no authority for the ar rest, he engaged the citizen in conver sation, and another agent phoned to the federal marshal's office at Port land. The word from Portland was to arrest the man, so the city police and the sheriff were called. It waa at this point that develop ments developed. The attorney for the defense had appeared and informed the officers that they could not make the arrest and drag a citizen of the Unit ed States without a warrant, unless they caught him in the act of violat ing the law. Finally the objections of the at torney for the defense were sustained. In the morning Sheriff Bodine was ia formed that the complaint had been issued; Inter, a telegram was received stating the warrant had been issued, and as a result the arrest was made. Brennan went back to Portland this afternoon. good part of t t day, but apparently ' they do not believe the Red Cross work is necessary. "Work in the Red Cross room is hard, and at times is monotonous, but must be done. It is as absolutely ne cessary that th women of the citv turn out to help new as it was six months ago.. The work we do is not a fiul, and must be kept up, and we should have at least 20 at work everv day. We are lucky if we have five helper a day now. "When Red Cross work was some thing new but little trouble was ex perienced in securing workers, but ap parently the newness has been rubbed, off. The Albany work room has made n good record in the past, but unless there is a revival of interest, the out put for the coming mont'-s will be far below the average in the past" ASESSMK nDPnccnavfiPAMt: 1 IH IIIUl Albanv Favored by New Tax Assessment Plan COMMITTEE WILL MEET EQUALIZATION BOARD W.
