School House RObber
Captured at Woedburn
Insane Man Caught

Sheriff Needham was Informed this
morning that an unknown citizen was
arrested last night by Marshals Ole
son and kelsey at Woodburn while in
the act of robbing the school house IL
brary. A collection of material taken
from other rooms in the building was
said to have been taken with the man.
The man was seen to enter the build
ing, and the night watch informed.
When the Officers arrived on the scene
he had reached the library in the
course of his travels, and fell an easy
victim to the police force.
After the capture of the alleged
burglar, a police drag net was stretch
ed over the city, and a gentleman by
the name Of Wage Scheuman was ap-
pretended while in the act of entering
an empty box car. He was thought to
have been an accomplice of the bandit,
but it later developed that he was
wanted at the state hospital for the
insane, having departed from that in
.stitution yesterday without securing
the necessary release.
The alleged bandit and the asylum
fugitive are to be brought to Salem
this evening, and Schueman will be re-
turned TO the state institution, while
the bandit will be turned over to Sher-
iff Needham pending trial.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
HAS BUSY SESSION
IlsdOrses Owens Bill to Give,
Higher Rank to Officers In
Medical Department

| At a meeting of the Polk-Marion-
Yamhill county medical society, held at
the commercial club last night. the
Owen bill now before congress was in
dorsed, 9nd a statewide movement was
started to secure better state legisla-
tion on sanitation and the prevention
of disease. The session was attended
by about go members.
Under the present law, a reserve
medical officer cannot hold higher
rhnk than major, regardless of the
amount of work he is doing, and his
ability. Many prominent physicians
and surgeons are serving in the army
at the present time, and doing work
that requires their commanding hun
dreds of men. The Owens bill would
remove tho restrictions on medical of
fioers, and give them the rank they
deserve. The Oregon's representation
at Washington was asked to support
the bill.
Doctors McCushey and McDaniels,
respectively, chairmen of the state and
Portland medical society, addressed the
local doctors in regard to better state
sanitation legislation. At the present
time the state laws are not considered
adequate, and as almost fourth of the
states physicians are now with the
army, it will require better laws and
more authority to the state Officers if
the contagious diseases are to be kept
in check.
Legislation which will make it pos
sible for the state to keep the water
supplies for cities in good condition,
thus renewing possibilities of an epi-
demic of typhoid, is recommended and
it is asked that more authority be given
the remaining doctors in order that
other contagious diseases may be pre-.
vented. A committee will be ap-
pointed hv the local organization to
work with similar committees over the
state to secure the necessary legisla. |
tion at the next session of the legis-
ature
A paper was also read by DR.. Bel.
inger, head of the state tubercular
hospital, on Tuberculosis from
Social Standpoint. - DR.. Bellinger is
IN authority on his subject, and his
talk was Of profound interest.
