SALEM HAS BOYS IN
JESSE JAMES CLASS
Have Been Stealing Hides and
Sheep Pelts from Local
Slaughter Houses.
ONE FIRED AT OFFICERS
Youngsters Had Old Pistols and Belts

ONE FIRED AT OFFICERS

In the arrest last night Of Dewey
McGrath, Jesse Lee and Earl Walker,
three Salem boys, the police succeeded
in unearthing youthful band of
thieves of the worst character who
have been performing depredations in
various localities for the post five
months, and who have stolen, it is
thought, several hundred dollars in
money and other valuables from diff
ferent Salem residences and mercantile
establishments.
The police were advised of the Grim
inal actions of the youngsters last Mon
day, Several hides have been missing
from the Cross and Steusloff slaughter
houses recently, and the officers traced
the pelts to the soap works, which is
located in Yew Park. Upon further
investigation, it was found that $75
worth Of sheep pelts were stolen from
the Cross slaughter house, while Steus.
loft lost $40 worth Of hides from his
establishments.
Boys Fight Back.
Officers Irwin and Welch located two
of the boys, Lee and McGrath, near
25th and State streets yesterday af.
ternoOn. When the boys say the Of
ficers coming, they started to run and
Officer Welch fired in the air and or
dered them to throw up their hands.
Lee turned and fired one shot back at
the policemen, but his aim was poor
and, at second demand, both boys
halted and threw up their hands. When
searched, Lee wore two belts full OF
ammunition and two revolvers, while
McGrath also carried a gun in a full
belt.
The guns were purchased from Sec
ond hand dealer on Court street, They
are antiquated and cost the lads from
seventy.five cents TO a dollar, they
said. While the arrest Of these two
boys was being made, Walker, the third
member of the party, was in the city
after two more boxes Of shells. He
scented trouble and fled to his home
in South Salem. Officer Irvine called
at his home last night and found Wal
ker hiding under lounge.
Sent to Reform School.
Tho ages Of the boys range from
thirteen to fifteen years and they will
be committed to the reform school this
afternoon by the County Court.
Walker and Lee were brought before
tho Chief of Police recently on the
charge Of misconduct, and after being
lectured were turned loose on proba-
tion.
The victims of the robberies cannot
recover the loss. 1t is rumored that
! further action will be taken in the case
by the police. There are two other
boys being searched for by the police
who are said to have been stealing
hides from the slaughter houses.
There is about $50 in money secreted
in Yew Park some place, as the boys
had nothing but few dimes on their
persons when searched, and it is known
by the police that they obtained n
good round sum for the hides they
stole and disposed of last Monday.

Mayor Sleeves Makes Sensa-

Hal D. Patton Emphatically Denies
Story and Grand Jury Ignored
the Matter.
AND AGAINST JACK FROST

A sensation involving the Patton
post card establishment of Salem, Jack
Frost, a groceryman on Twelfth street,
and the grand jury which recently re-
ported, was sprung publicly by Mayor
Sleeves at a meeting of the Men s Six
O'Clock Club at the Methodist church
last night,
Mayor Sleeves. mentioned ga well
known post card firm of this city," but
stated afterwards that it was the Pat
ton store to which he referred. The
mayor grew irate in his speech and the
wrath of his audience of about $50 men
and women was thoroughly aroused
when the city executive stated that in
the face of evidence furnished to the
grand jury by himself and others that
the Patton firm and Jack Frost were
guilty of selling obscene post cards, the
grand jury deliberately ignored the
charge and refused to take action. 1t is
further learned that the jury, contrary
to ordinary procedure, notified the Pat.
ton establishment of the charge and
advised the firm to tear up its post
cards. 1t was stated that in lieu Of
taking action in the case the grand jury
gave the complaining persons the fol-
lowing advice:
"You 60 and tell them not to sell any
more obscene post cards
The grand jury was composed of B.
o. Schucking, foreman; L, P. Hum
phreys, Michael Ward, 7, W. Lusk, E.
A, Matthes, Roy Russell and Frank

Citizens Notify Mayor.

The charges against Jack Frost and
the Patton post card house were insti.
tuted by the mayor after certain citi-
zens of the city had complained to him
that boys were able to buy the obscene
post cards at Jack Frost 3 store. Mayor
Sleeves and Alderman Minton first
went to the store and themselves pur-
chased obscene cards as evidence. Later
other citizens bought cards Of a simi.

dress last night" so I asked Frost
where he purchased the cards. He
mentioned well known post card es.

The mayor mentioned the case after
a general discussion along the line of
the difficulty in procuring prosecutions
for violations of law.
"After you have complete legal
case," said the mayor, cit is not al.
ways easy to procure conviction on ac.
count of dilatory public sentiment. "
Case Taken to Governor.
Alderman W. L. Cummings, one of
those interested in the post card affair
said yesterday the case was laid before
Governor West and his advice asked as
to further procedure.
"Governor West is the right man in
the right place." said Mr.. Cummings
"All Of us know that who have watch

in saying twas wait.

He is thinking OF profits from narrow
point of view. II Is in shaving the cost
that profits in the future lie. For instance,
would he think 1t worth while to consider
the method by which a pencil Is picked
up In order to increase his profits? When
one picks up a pencil ordinarily he uses
two motions. because he is not exacting
and does not realize the value Of reducing
1t by one. First, he places the tips OF a
thumb and finger on a table on either
!. side Of the pencil. Then he closes them
upon the pencil and lifts It, ForN use In

which eliminates the second motion. This
is an inclined board the length of the
pencils, i'm which "A number of deep and
wide channels have been cut out, to hold
the different grades OF pencils. Across
the centre, bisecting them, Is a wide v
shaped groove. Around each pencil in
the centre Is "a band Of paint OF the
color chosen TO indicate the degree or
hardness of the lead the band being the
width of the V-shaped groove. In use the
eye instantly notes the pencil which Is
required by its color band and the fingers
close upon the band, emitting the first
motion through the use OF the groove.

change from one pencil to another In
order to realize that there is an apprecia-
BILE saving in time. which, when multi
piled by the number OF craftsmen en-
ployed, has a visible cash value.
