BOSTON, July with the arrest of
Wilfred A Bailey, alias Russell G. Ban
croft, in Jersey city, n. J., on the charge

legged forgery, stock frauds and wholesale

nancial and social world Z "a
Bailey's operations, it isa- alleged, ex-
tended to all six New England states,
and included exploitation of the Worces-
ter & Southbridge Street railway, the Ho-
tel Overlook at Charlton, the Carabassett
company in Maine, pulp and paper mill
in the Maine woods; "a new device tele-
phone system and the Westmore camp

county, VT. Each of these ventures failed
AMI the stockholders are said to have lost
their entire investments.
Bailey first gained notoriety in. 1908
when, after a dazzling career as a pro-
motor in Worcester, he was arrested for
a $1,000 forgery and was convicted. At
one time he was a leading citizen of Wor-
CGSIeI ana look q prominent pdIb III ia
ternal and church circles, and when he was
convicted of the forgery his friends re-
fused to believe that he was guilty. After
being committed to the county Jail he
continued to engage in the stock broker
age business and his special privileges
resulted in a Jail scandal. which resulted
in legislative investigation of the insti-
tuition.
1t is alleged that Bailey's operations
during the last year have covered wide
expanse, including all the New England
states, and that New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Connecticut investors in his
various schemes were the heaviest losers.

.oners in the Umatilla county Jail

II was shocked to learn Of the
killing of Til Taylor" the governors
statement reads. II was proud to be
numbered among his friends and sim
cere admirers. At one time I endeav-
ored to enlist his services as head of
the penitentiary but after careful
consideration he informed me he
could not bring himself to leave his
old associations in Pendleton.
He was alike wonderful officer
and man-fearless as a lion and at
the same time possessing the gentle
ness of child. OF quiet. modest re-
firing disposition he did not know
the meaning of fear, as many a GRIM
inal of this state can well attest. It
Is particularly a shame that after be-
ing victor in SO many battles, cover
ing his services as a peace officer for
nearly a quarter of century, that
he had to- go as he did. He was a
mans man and the whole state Of
Oregon grieves with Umatilla county
