GRAND JURY Sitting
PANTENT|ARF SCANDAL



Investigation of the state peniten-
tiary parole scandal is now being made
before the grand jury in Multnomah
county, and reports from there pre-
diet that indictments win be returned
very soon. However, it is said that the
charges involving Parole Officer Joe
Keller will be sifted by the Marion
county grand jury.
Last week the investigating commit
tee, comprised Of Attorney General
Brown, District Attorney Evans of
Multnomah, District Attorney Hill of
Linn and District Attorney Gehlhar of
Marion, undertook to bring before them
the convicts on parole in Multnomah
county who might have information on
the traffic in paroles at the prison. But
most of the convicts refused voluntar-
lily to visit the court house, where the
committee was working as they said
they had been warned that the court
house was being watched and any par
oled convict who went before the com
mittee was in danger of having his
parole revoked.
Not to be thwarted by someone evil
IDENTIFY interested in the outcome of
the investigation, the committee de-
cided to turn that portion of the inves-
tigation over to the grand jury and
then subpoena these paroled convicts
and in that manner sring them up for
questioning
In connection with this feature of
the investigation, it has come to light
that the Investigators are looking for
II. NJ Hudson, alias Wax, who gained
national notoriety short time ago
when he impersona.ed former District
Attorney Osborne of New York and
made love to Miss Rae Tanzcr, who
filed breach Of promise suit against
the district attorney for $250,000 dam
ages
Hudson is forger with long prison
record, but he was given a conditional
pardon by Governor Withycombe Octo-
ber 9, of this year, and quickly disap-
peared. The investigating committee
wants to know how he happened to
get his pardon in the face of his black
record. toss1lsi
Hudson, who had served term in
the Walla Walla prison and also in
San Quentin, was sent up from Port
land for forgery in June, 1913 He es-
capped the following September. and
Immediately began career Of rob-
bing women by making love to- them
and stealing their money and jewels as
soon as he had gained their confidence.
This ended with the New York affair.
He was returned from New York to-
the Oregon penitentiary April IS, 1917,
with many crimes chalked, up against
him and practically all Of his original
five-year sentence yet to serve.
But in little more than, year he
has his freedom again, this time by vir-
tue Of a conditional pardon.
All reports indicate that the inves-
/ tigating committee is unearthing con-
ditions which show that the parole sys-
tenn as now being handled is loaded
with graft.
Whether the people Of the state
will be appraised Of the conditions
| prior to the general election next Tues
day is an uncertain question. Attorney
General Brown is in Pendlet6n attend
ing the sessions Of the supreme court,
but that is not delaying the investiga-
| tion in Portland. If acts have been dis
covered which are crimes it is also con-
sidered doubtful if the committee will
| include them in its report until after

REFUGEE TELLS OF
HAVOC WROUGHT BY
GREAT EARTHQUAKE

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE San
Francisco earthquake and fire was
trivial in comparison with the Guate-
mala catastrophe" was the statement
today Of Mrs. Bertha Fischer, first
refugee from the stricken Central
American city to arrive in this city.
Mrs. Fischer, whose home Is here, ar
rived on a steamer from the south.
''The earthquake came on the third
day Of my visit to my brothers home
in Guatemala City," she said. 'It was
at 10:3 p. m. and we were receiv-
Ing guests. Suddenly the house began
to shake. There were six of us in the
house ct the time and we fled with
such clothing and provisions as we
could get together in our haste. We
made our way TO the open plaza sew
eral blocks away.
There we found. 500 or 500 persons
gathered. We remained there three
days and three nights and there We're
earthquakes almost continuously. Two
houA after the first shock martial law
was declared. Forty persons were
shot the first night. At least las per-
sons were killed outright by the quake
and we saw many others injured by
falling buildings.
'The third day after the original
quake we got a train out Of the city
and escaped"
