Gardner is a born gambler and
will try anything.
In addition to being a gunman,
Gardner Is a boxer and has stepped
through several four-round goes in
the south, according to Holohen.
He is well read and fluent talker,
the marshal says.
IL chance had led Henry Wend,
Jr., to meet some officer yesterday
morning. Gardner might have been
in jail today. The restaurant sus-
pect now believed beyond doubt
to have been Gardner--first came

Wend told him, but the man.
who had just emerged from
brushy bit of territory apparently
did not want to go far into the
town.
The result was that as Gardner
started on, Wends suspicious be-
gan to grow. Still he was not cer-
tain. He followed Gardner and as
the suspect sat down to breakfast
in the Royal restaurant, he peered
in the window.
Then he was certain and set out
to get an officer. But Gardner
was equally certain that some
thing was wrong. He bolted.
Two Of United States Marshal
j. B. Holohan's most important
"men" are Ethel Nesbit and Mag
gle Stephens, switchboard girls,
who have spent hours in spread
ing the word to be on watch for
Gardner from Vancouver north.

Taxi Men
Cause Ills
In Traffic
Moffitt Says Cars Jam
On State In Fights
for Space; Scrap In
Council Looms

Indications that the move on
foot to clear State street of vs-
hicles used on auto stage lines
and in taxi service in Salem, will
receive some opposition when the
problem is presented to the city
council on next Monday night,
were seen this morning When H.
H. Vandervort, a member of the
council, declared his intention to
fight the attempt to remove the
professional drivers to a quIetor
sector.
Il think the council has no
right to force the taxi men off
State street." Mr.. Vandervort
said. Il believe it is the proper
thing to remove the stage line
automobiles, but 1 thing there
should be a segregation of the
groups. The taxi men, who oper-
ate in Salem, pay takes and are
entitled to privileges not enjoy
ed by transients. think IL a
good plan to remove the stage
lines from State street, however. -
Chief of Police Moffitt, who
originated the move to provide a
parking depot and to clear The
downtown district of the 'for
hire" cars, declared this morn
ing that these chauffeurs are
largely responsible for traffic
Jams which occur on State street
on busy nights. AS soon as one
of the drivers pulls out from the
curb, three or four others imme-
diately attempt to secure the va
Gated space, he said, and in con-
sequence there are four or five
cars backing in and out of the
center of the street.
"a parking depot is the only
solution to a problem that has be-
come serious" Chief Moffttt re-
iterated.
Ed Schunke, another member
of the council, this morning stat
ed that he is in favor Of the
move for a parking depot, and
added that he believes the court
house square to be the logical
place for the drivers. Mayor
George Halvorsen, Ralph Thomp-
son. chairman of the police com
mittee Of the council, and Alder
men F. L. Utter and Hal Patton
have declared their intentions OF
supporting the plan.
Tenants Of State street office
buildings are said to have COM
plained to the police that they
are unable to find parking space
for their cars because Of the pro-
fesional chauffeurs.

AS a result, DR.. Olinger and L.

but two places to be filled. A ma
iority vote for third candidate
whose name would necessarily be
written in on the ballot would be
the only element responsible for
the defeat of either, and such a
