Man IN Tolls Of Law

Portland, Or, May 4-For the al
legged theft of many parcel post pack
ages from the Portland postoftice, M.
Elizabeth Metealfe, a sub-clerk in the
department, and Francis Shuck, chauf
feur, were arrested yesterday by police
and federal officers.
The discovery of the alleged irregu-
larities was made by Patrolman d. d.
Day and Sergeant Ben Sherwood, who
reported to United States Postoffice
Inspector Welter and Assistant Post
master Harry Durand, with the result
that the arrests were made.
. 1t is contended that Shuck, who met
Miss Metcalfe several months ago,
called frequently at the parcel post de-
livery window when the young woman
was on duty and that she passed him
convenient parcels. Afterward, say the
authorities, the plunder was opened
and inspected in Shuck S room at the
Chamberlain hotel.
A search of this room following the
arrest of Shuck revealed large quanti-
ties of wearing apparel and other items
missing from the parcel post The to-
tai amount of the property is said to be
more than $50.
Miss Metcalfe, who has been released
on $1,000 bail, is 26 years of age, and
has been employed for three years as
a substitute clerk Shuck, who is held
in the county Jail, formerly lived at
West Stayton. Or. and is 35 years old.

Mrs. VaWter Collapsed;
Unable to Testify

Christianburg, Va, May 4.-Still in
sisting that she had a finger on the
trigger Of her husband IS revolver when
it was fired, killing Stockton Heth, Jr.,
Mrs. Charles Z. Vawter collapsed today
and was unable to go on the witness
stand and bare further details of her
intrigue with Heth.
The defense closed its case this after
noon. A lawyers conference followed
and it was again reported compromise
verdict was under consideration. De-
fense attorneys believe the woman g
admission that she had finger on the
trigger may contribute toward saving
Vawter from the death chair.
In telling all, Mrs. Vawter declared
she wanted to "atone for past sins -
to sacrifice herself so her husband
might not pay the penalty of murder.
She admitted her infatuation for Heth
was so strong she could not repulse his
advances. Earlier in her examination
she insisted all Heth 8 endearments
were refused except when she was
drinking.
Describing the killing, Mrs. Vawter
asserted her husband appeared with a
revolver, that she and Heth grappled
with him and that her own finger was
on the trigger as the gun was fired,
mortally wounding her lover.

According to Parole Officer Keller,
Of the Oregon State penitentiary, the
total earnings of paroled prisoners
since July, 1915, has been $13S, ,119.31
The average earnings of the 266 men
out on parole from the penitentiary dur
ing the month of March was $424S, and
the total of all was 81, ,134. This report
was filed with Governor Withycombe
yesterday.
Out of the 392 men out on parole,
one violated the parole by committing a
crime, and four violated the parole by

role violations was .3611 per cent while
from March l, 1916, to March l, 1917,
the percentage has dropped to .2S90 per
cent.
The state board of control, at meet
ing yesterday afternoon, faced a serious
problem regarding labor to run the

Scarcity of labor at other places, and

the institutions are cramped. 1t is ex-
pected that readjustments of the salar'
les will have to be made in order to
keep experienced help. In addition to
these troubles, weather conditions af-
fecting planting and sowing of crops
have been unfavorable so that the good
record of other years will probably not
be duplicated this year
