the school. A new gymnasium. several
new dormtories. a new conservatory
science buildings, an academy build
ing, a chapel, a central heating plant
and other buildings are planned by the
energetic and enthusiastic professor
who is pushing the matter so success
fully. Two thousand students will be
attracted to the institution. Schools Of
engineering, mining, forestry. etc, will
be added to the resent courses.
What this means to the city can be
readily seen. An institution that will
be bigger and more fully equipped than
any in the northwest, it will stand
alone. The investment of the money,
that spent by students in the city
every year, the fact that the great in

build up the city.

) of Portland to indignation occurred
yesterday afternoon in the southern
part OF the city. It ended in the ar
rest of John Glese, a woodchopper Al
years old, who was positively identi.
fled as the man who had led little Ida
Fendel, 4 years old. from her home al
Front and Hall streets.
Glese was captured because after
outrunnlng his pursuers he ambled
along Front street near Curry to
watch a fire engine climb the hill in
answer to an alarm. He did not see
Patrol Driver Gruber with the police
vehicle on the other side of the fire
apparatus, but Gruber saw and rec
ognlzed Giese as the man wanted, and
he was at once arrested.
Giese was bundled into the patrol
wagon despite his protestatlons of in
nocence, and F. NJ. Bowe, a concrete
worker on Corbett street, who had
been in the chase but dropped out,
overlook the wagon and got in to
guard the prisoner.
When the foreign colony on South
Front street learned that the man
who had tried to kidnap the little
Fendel girl was in the wagon in front
of the Fendel home, a score of angry
women surrounded the wagon in an
instant, and had it not been for the
timely arrival of other officers It
is probable that Giese would have
been dragged out and beaten.
Giese was today charged with child
stealing. He is heavy and brutal
looking. He will appear in court to-
morrow.
Giese promised the little girl can
dy if she would walk with him. From
Front and Hall he led her near the
Luckel, King & Cake soap factory,
but here some of the boys who had
started in pursuit overlook him and
he was forced to flee He ran through
Terwilliger park and over the hills
for a long distance.
Finally circling back toward the
center of the city, he collided with
Gruber and the patrol wagon. OFF,
GERS Evans, Wilson and Rudolph had
been in pursuit over an hour. Be
fore the policemen were near enough
to stop him. Giese had forced his
pursuers to pause by throwing rocks
straight at the crowd at his heels.
Mrs Anna Fendel, mother of the
little girl, swore out complaint,
charging Giese with child-stealing this
morning. He has been identified by
the little girl To stop her from
screaming he put a piece of chew
ing tobacco in her mouth. but aside
from her fright and the stains of the
tobacco juice the child was unin-
jured.

and Ferry, and probably other aliases
as well, made specially of gun
stores. He has been in the city one
month, according to his own state
ments He obtained a check book OF
the Merchants National bank, and
made II a practice to buy n shotgun
or rifle, give a check in payment and
then pawn the weapon He kept his
check book right up to time, making
out each stub as he wrote the checks.
Work Easily Traced.
In this way his bank book was in
the hands of the detectives. He never
had an account In the Merchants
bank, according to its officers.
Though Adams has been operating
in Portland for a month the matter
was not placed before the detectives
until this week. Detective Price no.
titled every gun store in the city to be
on the lookout for a man of Adams
description Monday night and yes
terday he was informed by H. Beal
that Adams had been in his store but
a few moments before. trying to pass
a check on the Merchants bank.
Price saw a man who answered the
description going into olds, Workman
& Kings department store. He left
by the Sixth street entrance, going at
once into Meier & Franks to hide his
trail again. Price stuck to the trail
despite all of Adams turnings, and
stopped him as he was about to en-
ter the Honeyman Hardware COM
store. A fountain pen with gold
bands and extraordinarily long fin
gers were the means of Identification.
Hyde and Price escorted
him to headquarters where a confess
sion was soon forthcoming.
In Adams pocket was a check book
Of the Seattle National bank, almost
used up, and it is therefore believed
he played a similar game in Seattle. J
He will tell nothing of his history.
A number of the stubs in Adams
bank book showed checks made out
for "cash." On these he obtained
over 500. Among those who cashed
checks for the clever sharp
er are McAllen & Mcdonnell, Bur-
roughs - Gault, Hudson Arms COM
pany. National Wine company, Rob-
erts Bros, Owl Drug company P. L.
and the Portland Gun &
Bicycle company.
