TI1K MUILMAO OKEGOMAJf, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 11)07. 11 FELLED BY A THUG Ed Zeyes Knocked Senseless and Robbed. VICTIM SAVES HIS DIAMOND Valuable Gem Hidden in Hatband Is Overlooked by Highwayman. Blow on Forehead Severe. Robber Gets a Few Cents. While Ed Zeyes, a bartender employed in the Stone Front saloon, at 228 Wash ington Btreets, was passing the corner of Seventh and Salmon streets on his way home, about 1:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing, he was hit on the head by a foot pad, knocked senseless and robbed of 80 cents. A valuable diamond stud, which Zeyes had hidden In his hatband, was not found by the thug. Zeyes did not re port the case to the police, considering such action a waste of time. Zeyes had closed the saloon at 1 o'clock, and placed all his cash in a safe. Before leaving the saloon, he took the diamond from the bosom of his shirt, and secreted it in the inner band of his hat. On leav ing the saloon, he had only So cents in hia possession, fearing to carry more be cause ot the activity of highwaymen. Zeyes was on his was to his home at Seventh and Market when a man jumped out from behind a tree and struck him. Zeyes recovered his senses a few minutes later and feeling In his pocket, found that the thug had left him 5 cents and the diamond. Zeyes went on to his home, and there found that his forehead had been badly bruised by the blow received from the thug. He was unable to leave his room yesterday. LECTURES HIS PATROI-MEX Captaln of Police Slover Demands Better Results. Realizing the grip highwaymen and ether criminals have on the city, Captain of Police Slover indulged in a tirade against the Inactivity of his men yester day. The lecture to the slothful members of Slover's relief was given when they reported for duty yesterday afternoon. "Because you are a common patrolman is no reason that you should not arrest more suspicious characters. Burglaries and holdups occur every night and the outlying districts especially are terror ized; but I sea no results from the men. The suburbs, as I say, are the fields in which these criminals operate, and I want to see the men on these outlying beats more vigilant in their work. "In regard to the North End, I wish to say that I have traveled through that dis trict nights and have heard all sorts of noises and disturbances. If you hear any of these orgies being carried on in any resort go in and tell the proprietor that if he cannot run a decent place you will take him to the station. Though the In spectors and captains may go through this district occasionally, it is no.slgn that you should leave the arrests to them. We have no time to be bothering with these minor offenders.'1 On Captain Slover's watch from 8:45 to '11:45 P. M. most of the desperate crimes are committed, and so far few of his patrolmen have done anything to prevent crime. MOB AT THE STAGE DOOR Many Men Ambitious to Appear in "The Pit." It is customary whenever a production of unusual size is to be put on at any of the local theaters to put an advertisement in the want columns of The Oregonlan call ing for the number wanted," and instruct ing the applicants to apply at the stage door of the theater. All last season, at the Baker, during the run of the stock company, about Ave or six such occasions arose, and in answer to all the different calls there was seldom over a dozen men or women anxious to make their debuts on the stage. Yesterday an advertisement appeared in the accustomed place, which read: "Wanted One hundred and fifty men to take part In the Baker Stock Company's production of "The Pit " Apply at theater stage door at 9:30 A.

When a man Is discharged from the service of the Water, Department some times it sticks and" sometimes it has to be done all over again. The latter happened in the case of . M. Riedel, who was let out about the first of the month by C. Albertini, foreman of the department's workmen. Riedel was charged by the foreman with not per forming his work satisfactorily. Tha superintendent was notified of the ac tion of the foreman on November 1, and on November 5 Mr. Dodge informed the Civil Service Commission of Rle del's discharge, and also notified Riedel. Yesterday at the meeting of the Water Board it was discovered that the rules governing the Board and the Commission in the case of discharge of Civil Service employes of the city pro vide that when an employe is dis charged charges roust be presented in writing, a copy of which shall be filed! with the Civil Service Commission and another sent to the discharged person within 24 hours. In the case of Riedel Superintendent Dodge notified both Commission and the discharged man, but did not enclose a copy of the writ ten charges, and besides the notice was not given in the required time. The Board decided that Riedel must be again discharged, and be given no tice and copy of charges, otherwise his discharge would be irregular and, the Mayor said, he might remain on the payroll until proceedings against him are complied with strictly to the provisions of the charter. Want Reservoir for Gymnasium. At the meeting of the Water Boara yes terday a communication was read from the director of the A; L. Frazer Boys' Club, of South Portland, asking permis sion to construct a handball court on the floor of the South Portland reservoir and to erect some additional gymnasium ap-. paratus in the same place. Last year the Board granted the use of part of the reservoir for the use of the club, at the request of -Judge Frazer. The property has not been used by the department since the introduction of Bull Run water. The communication received yesterday promised, if the use of tha reservoir is permitted in the way desired, planking and guards will be erected to protect the floor and sides from possible damage. It was understood that the granting of the request is strictly of a temporary nature, as it must be vacated imme diately in case the city "Suddenly should be forced to make use of it. Water Board to Pay Claims. The Water Board yesterday passed upon claims presented for payment. The City Treasurer was asked If the city de positories were in a position to furnish the funds necessary to liquidate the bills ordered paid, without hardship, and after communicating with some of the banks, the Treasurer reported the banks per fectly willing to cash whatever checks the Board thought necessary to draw against deposits with them. The Board ordered the sum of $31,500 to be depos ited between now and December 31 to the credit of the sinking fund. v COMMENDS GALLANT FIGHT Mr. Bloom field Expresses Confi dence) in Merchants National. PORTLAND. Nov. 14. (To the Editor.) In a recent editorial-comment The Ore gonlan says that the Merchants National Bank made a "gallant" fight against the assaults which closed its doors.

Over $2,300,000 paid out recently and $1,500,000 within two weeks, shows a spirit of courage and probity seldom witnessed now-a-days in the affairs of banks here, or anywhere else. And this was done, we are told, in face of the refusal of the bank officials toj call in loans, and persons were left free from being pushed whose notes were ma tured. The Merchants National deservedly gained tha reputation of being the most generous, courteous and obliging of banks, and it probably is true that this admirable attitude to the public in a measure contributed to the result of Its suspension. The officials of the bank were noted for their courteous and oblig ing spirit, and when it again opens its doors I (a depositor) predict that it will like a "Phoenix from the ashes arise," and be stronger than ever. N. H. BLOOMFIELD. SEA FOWL PROTECTED Three Arch Rocks on Oregon Coast Set Aside as Reserve. News has been received by the Oregon Audubon Society that President Roosevelt has set aside Three Arch Rocks on the Oregon coast as a special reservation un der -the Department of Agriculture, for the protection of the sea fowl that live there. Some of these birds, such as the gulls, are of considerable economic value as scavengers, and as these birds breed there in great numbers they are thought to need protection. In the past they have often been disturbed in the Summer sea son by gunners and others who visit the rocks. Several years ago these rocks were vis ited by William L. Finley, president of the Oregon Audubon Society, and Herman T. Bohlman, who made the first study of the birds that nest there. As these are the largest rocks along our coast, and as they furnish such splendid breeding grounds for several varieties of sea birds, these two naturalists have lent their ef forts to get these rocks as a permanent Government reserve, so that the wild life there will have protection through tha years to come. Along the Atlantic Coast some of our birds have almost been exterminated by plume hunters, who have gone among the breeding colonies and killed the nesting birds. The aim of the Audubon Society has been to forestall such a condition here on the Pacific Coast. In this they have been aided by President Roosevelt, who Days of Our Big Thanksgiving Cut Our Hairbrushes and Combs In fact, everything in the bristle line you can find here.

Is in thorough sympathy with wild-bird protection, and when application was made he issued a special proclamation set ting aside these islands and hereafter no one will be allowed to visit them without a special order fsom tha Government at Washington. The establishment of this first National bird reserve in Oregon through the ef forts of the Audubon Society Is a signifi cant feature in the protection of wild bird and animal life in our state. The society advocates better protection for our wild animals, such as deer, antelope and elk. It Is striving to get better game bird protection, not only by limiting the open season but in the natural and more logical way of protecting breeding birds from vermin and human interference.
