With No Tangible Clues in
; Portland, Police Decide
Murray, Kelly and Willos
Double Tracked to South
Suspects Reported Near
Chehalis, Washington. .....
PORTLAND, Oro., Aug. 21. Polloo
today me still searching for tho mini
who Wednesday night, representing
himself to be Ellsworth Kelly, escaped
convict, at the point of a gun forced
T. T. Harrell to drive him about the
city, hut the officers do not connect
him In any way with the real fugitives,
who shot their way out of the Salem
penitentiary more than a week ago.
The hunt for the criminals, as far
as Portland is concerned, is at a stand
still, with officers lacking a single
tangible clue as to the course pursued
by the bandit trio after their spetacu
lar arrival here Monday night in a
commandeered uUldniohilQ from New
Era.
The conviction 'with police Is grow
ing that they doubled back on their
route to the south on the same night
CHEHALIS, Wash., Aug. 21. Three
men in un Oregon licensed automobile,
who are believed to be the 'escaped
convicts from the penitentiary at
Salem, stopped at Toledo, 20 miles
south of here, at 10 o'clock last night.
Word was flashed here Jo Sheriff
Frank Roberts and all his deputies as
well as the city police took the field
at once, covering all roads, in this
vicinity.'
According to the,' officers here this
Is tho most reliable clue on the miss
ing men that, has developed In south
west Washington. '.'
r The word .came from the owner of
ft service station lit Toledo, -kiipwii us
. the . Teapot Dome - station. The car
containing the three men drove up to
the station and asked to have their
gas tank filled. The man complied,
all the more readily when he noted
the men all carried rJfles. When the
tank was filled the motorists told the
man to "go to hell" and sped away.
Sheriff Roberts was at once notified
by telephone and deployed officers
along the highways on both sides of
the city and a drag net was thrown
out all over Lewis county points.
STREETS OF EL PASO
DARKENED BY BUGS
EL PASO, Aug. 21. (A.' P.) El
Paso streets again iast night were I
ahlaze with lights for the "plague of
crickets which a tew weeks ago In
, rested the city apparently had dis
appeared. A new "white way" recently estah
'' lished in the city, attracted hordes of
k i the iusects and caused many cotn
nlalnts among the Inhabitants, so that
the city government ordered the lights j
darkened; Last night, however, the
main streets of the city again were
lighted, but less brilliantly.
The lighting of the main streets,
however, is. considered only a test to
see it the crickets return.

HONOLULU, .Aug. . 21. (A.. P.)
Mall 'and passenger . service by air
from San Francisco. Los Angelos and
San Diego to Honolulu will lie an ac
complished fact In the near future,
Rear Admiral William ' A.. Mofl'ett,
chief of tho bureau of aeronautics,
navy department, said in a statement
last night.
The prediction was made just prior
to the rear admiral's departure aboard
the President Taft for San Francisco.
Admiral Moffett said that the pro
posed flight from Sun Francisco to
Honolulu Is the most Importnnt event
in naval aviation since tho world war.
"It Is even more Important than the
'round the-world flight, because in
making the flight to Hawaii wo have
definite things in view for tho naval
air service." he said.
If the planes fail this time another
attempt will follow very soon.
Regarding dirigibles, Moffett said
unless the secretary of . war has
"changed his plans slnco I loft Wash
ington one dirigible will certainly
make the trip to Honolulu In October.
I hear they favor It because I want It
demonstrated that airship service can
be established between the mainland
and these Islands. We would sail from
San Diego, traveling at a speed of 100
miles per hour, and would make the
journey In a day. As plans now stand
we would return by way of Portland,
Ore."
He said ho was convinced that Hono
lulu Is destined to become one of the
biggest American naval stations.

per cent asked, than to substitute an

mission Intimated, that some substi
tutions may be made, as they feel that

ing modified texts In some subjects, l
