TKB , MORNING OBEGONIAH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER i, 1903. HO FEAR OF POLICE Highwaymen Hold Up Man in Heart of City. INSIGHT OF MANY WITNESSES They Politely but Firmly Compel C. P. Potter to Hold Up His Hands While They Rob Him on a aiuch Frequented Street. "With a daring that displayed complete disregard for the police, two armed thugs plied their- murderous vocation in the very heart of the city last evening. They lorced Manager C. P. Potter, of the "Walsh Electric Company, to stand and deliver at a point a dozen feet from the corner of Sixth and Salmon streets. The hour4 was 9:30 precisely, and all about the scene of the audacious robbery people sat on their front porches and doorsteps, chatting pleasantly. The rob bers worked calmly and effectively. They were very polite but very firm in every move they made. ' That they were ex perienced hands there is no doubt. The police want them very much, but thus far have secured not the slightest clew to thelr'ldentlty. Mr. Potter was strolling quietly home ward from a lodge meeting when tho hold-up occurred. Being but a hundred yards from the brightly lighted streets of the business district, he -was thinking of anything but robbers. As he neared Salmon street, two men stood on the side walk, apparently engaged in conversation. He passed by without paying any atten tion to them. He had "barely passed when he was conscious of a Quick shuffle of feet behind him. ,. "Here, you had better put those hands up in the air," said one of the two. He spoke in a conversational tone, and with out the least trace of excitement. A person a dozen yards away would have heard nothing but the Indistinct murmur. Mr. Potter turned to find himself peer ing down the yawning barrels of a brace of revolvers that appeared half the size of 3.2-lnch field rifles. He lost no time in elevating both hands. He noticed that both men wore long, black masks, that they were fairly well dressed and pros perous of appearance. Otherwise they might as well have been a brace of sil houettes. He would not know them again if he saw them. One of the twain lowered his weapon and commenched searching the victim. He displayed great dexterity in going through pockets. From an Inside pocket he removed some car tickets, examined them a minute and replaced them. "They ain't no good to us; we don't ride in our business," he pleasantly In formed his unhappy guest From one pocket they secured several dollars in cash, which went with a pleas ant Jingle into the trousers pocket of the man who was doing the searching. He handed back a watch charm with the re mark that it was of no value to him. "Well, I guess that's all," quietly re marked the hold-up to his accomplice with the gun, after having carefully searched Mr. Potter's every pocket. "And you had better keep right on up the street and don't look back," an nounced the other robber with a threaten ing shake of his revolver. Mr. Potter again obeyed. He looked back later, just in time to see a couple of shadows turn the corner onto Fifth street and make for darker districts. Hurrying to his home, he notified the Police Department by telephone. The Captain detailed one- man on the case and he went over the scene carefully. But, as previously stated, the hold-ups had gone, and no arrests were made. Mr. Potter, in discussing the matter, said that it was only owing to a well timed attack of absent-mindedness that he did not lose his gold watch. In chang ing his clothes at supper-time, he forgot to replace his watch in his pockets and left it lying on a table in his home at 351 Salmon street. He gives it as his opinion that the thugs, while quiet of demeanor, are very sincere and, if the occasion demanded, would not hesitate to pull the trigger. TAKES DELIGHT IX FIRE. Albinn. Carpenter Arrested on Charge of Arson. John Amberson, 44 years old, says he has never tasted liquor or used tobacco, has always attended church and otherwise de meaned himself as a moral and useful member of society. The police say Am berson is thefiend whose wanton torches have fired a score of buildings during the past two weeks. Amberson is held in a cell at the city jail pending trial on a charge of arson. "Why, I won't even get up mornings and make the fire in tne kitchen stove," declared the suspect last evening. "The idea of bringing me here" on such a charge!" Captain Simmons is confident that no mistake has been made in the arrest of Amberson. The arrest was made in Al hina, where the suspect, who is a carpen ter, is building himself a new home. Sus picion was directed toward him by Mrs. M. O. Sather, who saw the man pass in front of her home on "Williams avenue bearing a bunch of hay. Shortly after wards a fire broke out in the neighbor hood and Amberson stood across the street from the conflagration and looked on, ap parently with great interest. He is also known to have watched Several other of the numerous incendiary fires that have occurred recently. In the absence of all apparent motive for such acts, the police believe the man mentally unstrung and his alleged acts of incendiarism the result. Amberson has hardly the appearance of a normal man and Is 'very peculiar In his manner, a fact which the police have used as ground for a thorough investigation of his record and affairs. He persistently denies everything detri mental to himself, and several of the things that he denies are known by the police to be entirely true, which is re garded as an incriminating circumstance. He is being held without ball until the investigation is completed, when he will be formally arraigned on the arson charge. The officers believe the evidence they now have will warrant the filing of charges. SALOOX MBX IX TROUBLE. Eleven of Them Arrested for Keep ing Open Too Late. Eleven dispensers of exhilarating bever ages have been arrested at tho instance of the Chief of Police on charges of keeping their saloons open after the gentle and forbidding hour of 1 A. M., contrary to the ordinances made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the City of Portland. Of late there has been much complaint of fractured saloon ordinances, and this scries of arrests is said to cap tho work of plain-clothes men who have been collecting evidence for some days past! The Chief says he Intends to have this particular ordinance enforced. Judge Hogue Is co-operating with the Chief In this work, and during last week imposed 523 fines on two saloon-keepers -who had kept open after hours. When the 11 new defendants were taken Into court yesterday forenoon they asked for a continuance until noxt Tuesday, and It was grantea. It is understood that they will fight the case, making the contention that it is their right to keep open after 1 o'clock as long as they do not carry on liquor traffic The captives and their .places of busi ness axeJ Nate Solomon, Portland Club; the proprietor of the Aloha Cafe, 306 Yam hill street; Royal Cafe, Keys & Weaver proprietors, 26 Stark street; Jewel Cafe, Fifth street, between Alder and Morrison streets; Albert Shapiro, Maze Cafe, Third street; Pullman Cafe, Fifth street, be tween Washington and Alder; E.

"WlndoTr-Smasher and Revolver Thief Brought Sack from Tacoma, John Seymour, who escaped from the penitentiary at Salem recently, and who was captured at Tacoma. was landed In the Multnomah County Jail by Warden C. W. James last evening. Mr. James telegraphed to Sheriff Storey from Chehalis to meet him at the depot on the arrival of tho 6:30 o'clock North ern Pacific train, which the Sheriff did. Seymour was sent up from Portland to serve a sentence of 18 months for break ing a window of the Reliable Loan Office on Third street and stealing revolvers and other articles. After making his es cape from the penitentiary he returned to Portland and smashed the same win dow and helped himself to more pistols and musical Instruments. He was traced to Tacoma by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, and the officers at that place had little trouble In locating tho manWarden James was at once notified and proceeded to Tacoma and got his prisoner. STARTED TO SEE WORLD. Fonr Denf and Dumb Youngsters Es cape From Vancouver School. Four deaf and dumb youngsters started out to see the world, Tuesday. They ran away from the Deaf and Dumb School TOM FITCH'S ELOQUENCE AND WIT Hon. Thomas Fitch, brilliant lawyer, politician and orator, will contribute to The Sunday Oregonlan; beginning with the next issue, a series of articles which he has named "Recollections and Reflec tions of Thomas Fitch." He deals with men and affairs of the Pa cific Coast, and no old-time resident west of the Cascades and the Sierras can reai them without special interest To those who know Mr. Fitch it need not be told that his writings are rich In eloquence and wit His first article, "The Silver State," will appear in The Sunday Oregonian, September 6. at Vancouver, bent on exploring some of the mysteries of the big city across the river, of which they had often read and marveled. Without a cent or provisions, and with no means of making money or asking for food, the youngsters went plucklly forth. They started early In the morning while their fellow school mates were yet asleep. All seemed very bright to them as they walked merrily towards the Columbia and talked In their queer language of gestures. But when noon came and with it hunger, the aspect of things was changed. Then they began to realize that a person without a cent and without the power to hear or speak is 6adly handi capped. And still greater hunger came with night In desperation they crept Into a garden patch and filled their pockets with onions the only available vegetable. Sleeping on a haystack through the night they awakened with the same gnaw ing hunger, and nothing to eat but onions. All stood the punishment until evening when three of them started back for the school. Their strange adventure became known yesterday when Carl Sparks, the fourth lad, who refused to return with his as sociates, was picked up by the police. His curiosity as to the outer world proved stronger than his craving for food. He believed that should he once reach Port land there would be something for him to eat Accordingly he stowed himself on the Vancouver ferry and got across the river and into the city. He reached here in a condition bordering on starvation, and although nearly exhausted he started out on a foraging expedition. His pitiful condition attracted the attention of some one who turned him over to the custody of a policeman. When searched at the Police Station a dozen green onions were found stored away in the lining of his coat When the officer removed them tears commenced streaming down the lad's cheeks. He tried to take them from the officer's hand, and when asked in writing what he wanted with the unsavory vegetable he pointed hungrily down his throat His appetite was promptly satisfied with substantial rations from the prison larder. After he had eaten, the lad In writing and gestures, told that cruel treatment had caused him to leave the Institution. He claimed that one of the instructors is in the habit of beating him. As young Sparks has served a term in the Reform School and Is known to be unmanageable the officers were not. in clined to believe that he had been un justly dealt with. He was sent back to the school last evening. FRAUD ORDER RECEIVED Pacific Mercantile Company "Will Get Xo Mail. Postmaster Bancroft yesterday received Instructions from the department at Washington not to deliver mail to the Pacific Mercantile Company of this city. These instructions are the result of the order a day or two ago forbidding th use of the United States mall to the com pany on the ground that the business carried on by it is in the nature of a lot tery. The company has Its headquarters in Victoria, B. C, with branches In Port land, Seattle. Spokane and Tacoma, In view of the fact that the Canadian pos tal authorities are especially vigilant in matters of this kind, it Is expected that a similar order will be Issued against the main office at Victoria. F. M. Schwartz, the local manager of the concern, is out of the city and the lady stenographer is in sole charge of the office. She stated that Mr. Schwartz expected to return In the course of a few days, but refused to give his present whereabouts. It is stated that although the business of tho company was very heavy early In the year, at the present time It has fallen away to practically nothing. The company's mail for the past week has not exceeded a letter per day and tho order to hold the mall will not seriously discommode the postoffice force. FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT Money "Wanted to Paint Stations Deficiency in Fund. . The fire committee of tho Council held a meeting yesterday afternoon and pre pared Its report to the Executive Board, which meets this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The report as agreed upon is largely routine, the principal item being a request for an appropriation of ?1400 for the paint ing of the station houses. The estimate for the coming months for the needs of the fire department will be a trifle in excess of $13,000, which is S6000 in excess of the average monthly outlay. Members of the committee estimate that the cost of main taining the department for the year 1903 will be some $10,000 abovo the appropria tion and thus as usual there will be a big deficiency In tho fund.

Liberality of MHltaomah, Carnival Promoters Canses Him to Make Additional Outlay. George Jabour, who is at Seattle this and next week, unexpectedly came to Portland yesterday morning, and there has been rejoicing among the Multnomah clubmen ever since. He slipped away from the Seattle carnival In order to look over the field here and to get in touch with those in charge of Portland's big Fall carnival. September 14 to 26, in clusive. In company with Superintendent Bentley and George Hutchln, his repre sentative here, he spent most of the fore noon going over the grounds where the 12 days of entertainment are to be given. At a meeting Just before noon Mr. Ja bour addressed the committeemen in charge of the carnival and informed them that in lieu of the fact that the Multno mah boys were expending 512,000 to make the carnival a success he had decided to at once engage ten big new acts and add them to his already large aggregation be fore the opening day in Portland. This statement brought out a round of ap plause, and Mr. Jabour received the hearty congratulations of all present "When I was here last" remarked Mr. Jabour, "I thought we had one of the finest outlays for a carnival I had ever seen, but since going over the field with Mr. Bentley and learning of your plans I am honest when I say I have never seen such an opportunity and such plans for a carnival. The fact that you are spending $12,000 to make It a success Is enough evi dence of what the people of Portland and the surrounding country may expect in the way of entertainment The very rea son that you have decided to expend such an amount of money is why I have made up my mind to add ten big acts in addition to what I already have, and I will come to Portland with the best .aggregation ever brought here for carnival entertain ment" "I have just returned from Seattle," said Superintendent Bentley, "and I was pleased with Mr. Jabour's show. He has several acts that are entirely new to the coast, and with the ten new acts, which he has decided to add, we will present the best show attractions ever seen In the city. Everything Is moving nicely, and when the gates are thrown open Septem ber 14, the grounds will be a revelation and there will be no end of entertain ment." At the meeting of the carnival commit tees last night many matters of Interest were discussed. Each committee reported progress. On Monday evening next there will be a meeting of the Multnomah Club members and a .full attendance Is expected. Superintendent Bentley Is leaving nothing undone to make every part of the carnival a success, and has asked that a meeting of the various com mittees be held every evening next week. HO, FOR THE HOPFIELDS! Whole Families Migrate to Get Money and Fresh Air. Off to the hopflelds they go, husbands and wives, boys, girls and babies, sheep ish maidens and ogling youths, a dog now and then or a cat a spider or a fiddle, all piled together, ho for the hopflelds! The world's choicest brew Is on the vines, 70,000 more or less of the yellow bales that make old Oregon famous, and they are plucked at 45 and 50 cents a box. The "ho for the hopflelds" Is for them that db the .plucking. They're off every morning. The sun hardly rises earlier. Are 5000 residents of Portland gone? Perhaps and maybe more. They cram the steamboats to a Jam. The "room for one more" In the steam car was a tight squeeze a long while ago and still they come. It's a funny crowd, to be sure, albeit of the most serious mood in the world. It's a motley aggregation of humanity in blondo and brunette and chestnut in white and pink and black and blue and red and In ever so many colors more. The women and children are the two-thirds, and If in all the chatter you can count the men as the remaining frac tion you're nimble, for a fact And such a show of humanity! Why, bless you.

Several days earlier than usual the heglra has begun this sea son. Most of the pickers go to Southern Clackamas and Northern Marlon. Canby. Aurora, Hubbard, "Woodburn. Gervals and Brooks on the railroad; Boone's Ferry, Creswell's, Buttevllle, Champoeg, Mis sion, Wheatland, Llrfboln and Salem on the river these are a 'few of the places where the pickers alight. And what for? Well, they get an outing under the tan ning sun, they and their children or sweethearts, and they turn a handsome penny to boot The hand of the diligent maketh rich' In the hopflelds, for a set of nimble fingers can pick three or four or five boxes a day at B0 cents a box and the more chil dren the bigger the profits. The hands of the child, if busy, may do as much as those of the father or the mother. School books, a new frock, a new pair of pants, a gay ribbon for the coiffure and a snug sum In bank these things come from the hopflelds. "Oh look," cried Mabel back over the foaming wake of the steamboat "Nellie's got left Mr. Captain, please stop. Oh you mean old thing," and Mabel had to go off without Nellie. "Do many get left?" answered Captain A. B. Graham, as his boat vanished up stream. "It's human nature to get left" And no sooner was one boat gone than the freight human and chattel began to pile up for the next Dear, dear, such a frightful lot of things and nothing! Why, they get so mixed up together that It's a -wonder how they find their owners. And my! What a frantic time it makes. "Everything must be marked and tagged," yells the master of ceremonies above the bustle. "Well," rasps the voice of an irate woman already In trouble, "my things was all together an I thought" "It don't cost anything to put tags on," megaphoned the boss again, and the wrathy female butted her head Into a post on which was Inscribed: "Baggage for hopplckers must be looked after by owners. This company will not be responsible for any shortage.!' Some of those baskets have lunches In them, also baby's milk. It's a great ca tastrophe when they stray off or get burled under the pile.
