CHEMIST SUSPECTED
OF STEALING METAL
PLATINUM IS MISSING FROM
WRECK OF FIRE
Believed 20 Have Set Laboratory
AbIaze to Conceal Theft, Forget
ting Material Would Not
Be Consumed

Lee D. Hays, a chemist in the en-
ploy of the New York Testing labora-
tory, which is the assaying and ana
lying department of the Barber AS
phalt Paving company, was arrested
at his rooms in the Burlington apart
ments on West Ninth street Thursday
morning last and booked at central
station on suspicion.
Hays name was placed on the small
book in the detective department and
news of his arrest was not allowed to
leak out.
1t is alleged that Hays stole $3.50
worth of platinum from the labora-
tory, 1920 Date street, and then set
fire to the place to destroy evidence
of the theft. If he is guilty as charged,
how he came to overlook the fact,
which should have been known to him,
that platinum will not dissolve in even
the most intense heat, is the mystery
that is puzzling the police.
In the early part of October ID. A. w.
Alexander went east on business, leaV-
ing Hays in charge of the laboratory.
October 12 the laboratory was burned
and a search of the ruins failed to re-
veal any trace Of the platinum, which
was in the form of crucibles and in
destructible by heat.
Hays, with the exception of Superin-
tendent Alexander, was the only man
who knew where the precious metal
was kept, and after a thorough inves-
tigation of the case his arrest was
ordered.

Mueller and Wild hold records and
medals for their achievements in aero
nautics and are recognized as among
the foremost pilots of gas airships.
News of the progress of the balloons
will come through the Associated Press
and by private kilograms j. K. Hutch
inson, a Los Angeles newspaper man,
will accompany Captain Mueller and
send the messages from the "Ameri-
can" Captain Wild will send the dis
patches and newspaper special from the
Omitted States" The Associated Press
has issued instructions to its corre-
spondents describing the plans for the
race and directing them to watch for
the balloons and send full reports II
they obtain any information.
Dick Ferris has decided to allow ad-
missions to the balloon race as early
as 9 o'clock this morning, as he has
had numerous requests from ticket
holders who want to learn about prepY
arations for a transcontinental con-
test. Both aeronauts and their help
ers will be at the Chutes ball grounds,
where the balloons are ready, all the
forenoon and will show the equipment
and make explanations. AS 1t has not
been found feasible to issue return
checks those who go this morning will
be compelled to bring their luncheons.

His EmInenee
EISNER OPENS
NEW STORE
Finest Merchant Tailoring Shop
in America Opens Tomorrow
in Angelus Hotel Bldg.

The magnificent store of Eisner &
Co. in the Angelus hotel building on
South Spring street opens tomorrow.
That 1t is the finest store of its KIND
on the coast is easily conceded. The
fixtures are all of solid mahogany, the
art stained glass adding most beau
tiful effect to the interior decorating.
Something more than ten thousand
dollars has been expended by Mr.. Els
ner in the finishing, and it shows 1t.
This house began business some ten
wears ago in a very small way ana py
sheer pluck, combined with certain
business policies, has grown to such
an extent from time to time that today
more than q quarter of million DOL
lars of business is done each year
This enormous volume of business done
by Eisner g. Co. shows that a popular
nrice merchant tailoring business can
only be successfully carried on and
grow larger each year by making re-
liable clothing and absolutely guaran-
teeing every garment. This has been
the reason of the great success of this
we'll known firm. Every garment made
bv Eisner & Co. must first satisfy the
firm before it is given the purchaser
No garment is allowed 10 ieaNe the
house unless it fits perfectly in every
particular. This in itself has been the
greatest card for advertising this house
and holding its patronage, which today
numbers up into the thousands. Mr..
l, Eisner is AN expert woolen man and
buys only the best grades of foreign
and domestic fabrics. A visit to the
new store on South Spring street to-
morrow will well repay anyone. An
enormous stock of the latest patterns
in woolens win be shown and all the
novelties OF the season in imported ana
domestic fabrics at popular prices.

RATHER CHEAP HAGGLING.

1t may be said, in passing that there
is scarcely biennial legislative ses-
sion held in Oregon, at which there
is not expended, in immensely less
compensating ways than for the up
lift and progress Of one Of the States
prideful institutions, as much, and of
ten more, than the Sl25.0OO it is pro-
posed to grant the University OF Ore
gon; and the haggling that has been
done conveys to the world about us,
the impression of our cheapness and
smallness in things educational.
With a board of regents culled
from the brain and character of the
State. it would seem that so pititul a
sum as this might be freed. for legi-
innate uses from the treasury, with
out the chance of financial paralysis,
or cataclysmal graft; that the great
State of Oregon might do this thing
with the same spirit and high intel
iigence wherewith other States grant
millions in such behalf; that she
might realize that her sons and
daughters are without price when i
comes to their equipment for life ane
its strifes, achievements and graces
that as a great commonwealth she
might at least do as much as hund
reds of individuals are doing, daily
throughout the world in the cause O
higher education, and quit posing a.
hide-bound economist on such line'
as this, while doing spend-thr1f
stunts every two years, on people
f. and programs quite outside the re
cord of utility and compensation
worth.

LAKE COUNTY MEN
BUILD BRICK YARDS
Gary Granite Brick and
Stone Company Capital
lied for $4,000.
PLANT WILL COST $4,000
Owing to improved Machinery Only
Fifteen Men Are Needed to Turn
Out $4,000 Brick Daily.

The board of directors of the Gary
Granite Brick and Stone company met
Monday night in the clubroom of the
Gary hotel for the purpose of taking
care of the routine business of the
company and discussing the progress
of the plant which is being constructed
at Highlands.
The new brick and stone company is
capitalized at $4,000 and $4,000 is be-
ing spent on the Highlands plant. Here
they expect to have a plan which will
turn out twenty five thousand brick
per day Concrete stone will not be
manufactured for several weeks after
the brick is being turned out as the
company expects to begin on a small
scale and gradually increase the scope
of the material which they manufac-
ture, as well as the quantity.
The plant at Highlands will employ
about fifteen men. The reason that a
plant of this size does not employ more
isfbecause of the fact that the modern
methods which are being installed in
the new equipment are great labor
saving devices.
Most OF the capital of the new con-
Germ is from Gary, where John Bren-
nan and George Baker are most heav-
lily interested. The outside capital is
represented mostly by John M. Stin-
son and NJ Rothschild of Hammond
who also attended the directors meet
ing Monday night.
