GARDNER TELLS
 OF H|S TRAVELS
 SINCE ESCAPE
Accounts His Adventures Since Bold Dash From McNeil Island-Was In Phoenix For 23 Days

Dividing his time between a par ticularly appetizing steak which had been brought to him after his pre- uminary hearing at the federal build ing and the reporter who sat outside the bars of his cell, Roy Gardner, convicted mail robber whose escapes from justice have given him col umns on the front pages of the news papers of the United States for days at a time, told yesterday afternoon the complete story of his wanderings since leaving the federal pehiten- tiary at AScNeil island, Puget Sound. on Sept. 5.
 From that day until his capture by Herman F. Inderlied, a railway mail clerk, who was confronted by him in Santa Fe mail car Tuesday evening and who held him until po- lice officers placed him under ar rest, he has travelled freely, he said, up and down the length of Califor- mia, with side trips into Washington on the north and Mexico on the south.
 From Mexicali, which was his last stopping place before arriving in Phoenix, he came to this city through Yuma A days ago, and lived here openly at IA East Monroe street un- til his capture Tuesday. Yesterday he told the story of his escape and ramblings as simply and easily as if he were discussing the weather. His account follow:
 "On September 5, 1921. there was a ball game at the penitentiary at McNeil island where I was con- fined. Three of us had planned to make a break during the fifth inning and when the time arrived we made the break out of the enclosure around the ball park having provided our selves with wire cutters. The pur- suit was started immediately, and my two companions were shot, one of them fatally. I was shot through both legs, bu, managed to gain the brush where hid until nightfall. Then I crawled back to the prison and hid in the hay loft of the prison barn, wher l lived on milk from the prison cows for three days and nights.
 "At the end of the third day I felt strong enough, despite the wounds in my legs. to begin travelling At about a 9o'clock in the evening I started for the north end of the island, which I reached after two days effort, hiding in the brush during the daytime and crawling with effort in the nights.
 ~"Arrived at the north shore of the Island. I found a log and started to swim to Fox isla Id, a short distance. away. Five patrol boats were en- circling the island to prevent my leaving it, but it was foggy and l had no difficulty in eluding them. They were keeping close inshore, and

wise move for me to disappear from there, which I did as soon as the meal was over."
 At Medford he worked on a ranch five miles outside the city, picking apples with a number of girls. Again his name became topic of dis cussion, and one of the girls told him that she had gone to school with Gardner and knew him well.
 Received Many Letters
 'She doesn't know to this day" Gardner said, that she was talking to Gardner-who had never seen her be- fore in his life"
 When he was taken to McNeil' Island, Gardner said, she received hun dreds of letters from all over the United States. and among them were a large number of mash" notes from women. One of these was from a girl at San Diego, Calf. After his escape and just before he came to Phoenix he went to San Diego and found this girls name in the telephone book. He rang her up and told ner that he was a friend of Roy Gardner's, that the latter was safe in Mexico, and that he had asked him to telephone the girl and tell her.
 The girl seemed to be intensely in- terested, and when Gardner asked her If her feelings toward Gardner were he same as when she wrote to him at McNefl Island she replied that they were, and then invited him up to the house to talk about the escaped bandit.
 But I had a hunch," he said yes terday, that she might have a picture of me. and that night left town"

The government will not insist upon
the actual transfer of the stock to the
trustees at this time, who, the At

THIRD. DEGREE METHODS
CHARGE AGAINST POLICE

Mai. Gessford. superintendent of
police. has received letter of COM
plant from Foster Wood, member Of
the bar. who recently appeared as
counsel for Clarence N. Taylor. the
man acquitted- Ms Crimfh1r Court of
a charge Of robbery, notwithstanding
an alleged signed confession was pro-
cured from him by Policeman Brodie.
The attorney charged that 30 called
'third-degree" methods were en-
ployed by the policeman and that
Brodie and Policeman Jacobs used
harsh methods toward his client. He
suggested that procuring a signed
confession by brutal force would
merit dismissal Of the officer.
In his letter of complaint the at
torney wrote:
"The testimony tended to show that
Clarence n. Taylor was arrested by
officers Brodte ard Reed of the sixth
precinct. The defendant said. and
was believed by the jury. that Off

ing and beating him. The only proof
of this is the statement Of Clarence
is telling the truth. He said that Of

In conclusion, counsel asked that

well heated and lighted. Sessions are
held in this room throughout the day
for various classes. Classes. how
ever, use this room for only one pc

Enrolment at Eastern has been
steadily increasing since the begin
ming of the term in September, and

SHANTUNG NOTE
Relies on Versailles Sigma
tories in Coming Farley
7 Here.
MAY PRINT DOCUMENTS
President Harding May Be Asked
to Mediate, Is Word
From Toxic.
MAY PRINT DOCUMENTS
By the Associated Press.


oEKING. October 14.-Japan is in
clined to ignore the Chinese note re-
jecting her proposals relative to ne
gotiations involving the Shantung
question. according to most reliable
information here. This would leave
the position of Japan as 1t was fol-
lowing the presentation of the Toxic
memorandum by NJ. Obata, Japanese
minister here. in September.
1t is declared that Japan expects
China will attempt to bring the Shan
tung problem before the Washington
conference, but Toxic is relying upon
the solid support of the signatories to
the Versailles treaty in opposing such
a move. because if China's claims
were recognized. it Is asserted. other
non-signatory nations would be en-
couraged to protest against clauses
distasteful to them, and thus the
treaty might be invalidated. Japan
expects her stand in this matter will
leave Shantung open to future direct
negotiations with China.
While ignoring the Peking note
relative to China, Japan is likely.
however, to publish all Chinese and
Japanese documents regarding Shan
tung, provided China's consent can be
obtained. If this should be impossi-
BILE, she is expected to issue an OFF,
cial resume, including probably
statement that Chinese officials def
fnitely had assured her that China
would negotiate. provided Japan
would make the first move.

ONLY 100 STUDENTS
STUDYING GERMAN
High School Pupils Much Pre-
fer Spanish and French
Since War.

Pre-war popularity of the German
language among Washington high
school students apparently has lost
its foothold in favor of French and
Spanish Although the board of edu-
cation lifted the ban on the teaching
Of the Teutonic language in the Dis
trict high schools at the beginning
of the present scholastic year, not
more than 100 students are availing
themselves of the opportunity to
learn to speak it, a canvass Of the
senior institutions today showed.
1000 Students Before War.
When the school board shortly after
the declaration of war on Germany
ordered that the teaching Of that
language be discontinued in the high
schools there were at least 1000 stu
dents taking the German course. Since
the resumption of the teaching Of
the language. however, authorities
have found it difficult to organize
German classes in the schools. The
reason for this officials are unable to
explain.
French and Spanish are the most
favored modern languages now being
studied by the high school students
Their popularity is about on a par,
with Latin ranking third. There are
no Greek language classes in the
schools.
Out Of the moro than 5000 students
in Central High School there are only
thlrty-seVen studying the German
language, and these are all in the
hrst semester. Before the war be-
tween 500 and 500 Central students s
were enrolled in the German classes.
About 200 of this number were in
first-year classes.
Only Two In Eastern HiEh.
Only two of Eastern High School S
$40 students have elected German as
their course in modern language. The
number being so small, officials de-
cided- that they were not justified in
organizing a German class at this
school.
Charles Hart, principal of Eastern,
said today that the Spanish and
French languages are both popular
among the students Of his school,
Before the war;" he said. Spanish
was very popular, and during the war
the French classes were swamped
with students"
There are no German classes at
either Business or Tech High Schools.
A German class was organized at
Western at the beginning OF the
present term, but only twelve stu
dents elected to take the course, and
1t was later disbanded.
