SAILORS ALARM -POLICE Weary Citizens Compelled to. WIk Home While Detailed Officers Capture the Animal on Telegraph Pole. '"'Escaping from its cage on the Italian cruiser Pupils, now In the' harbor, a pet bear, mascot of the warship, leaped overboard Saturday night, swam ashore and set Itself up In business at Crosby etreet and HoIIaday avenue. The bear is only a cub. but before be ing captured succeeded In viciously biting- Motorman Hicks, of a Williams-avenue car. on the hRnd and leg.- In com pletely tying up streetcar operations in that part of the city and causing hun dreds of persons to walk home because of the delayed cars. Motorman Hicks Anally lassoed the animal and took it to hfs home. 35 "West Prescott street. Early yesterday morning the bear's absence from the warship was discovered and a delegation of excited Italian sailors called at police headquarters for aid in locating their pet. They were directed to the home of Motorman Hicks. The bear was presented to the crew of the cruiser two weeks ago. It has evi dently liked the place, for it has shown no disposition to escape, but te said to possess a remarkably well-developed de sire to investigate everything in sight. Saturday night the animal escaped from its cage and began an excursion of the upper deck. In climbing about, it must have fallen overboard and once in the water the primeval instinct to free itself started him towards the shore, intui tively. Reaching the bank, bruin shook the water from his shaggy sides. then strolled lehmrely" east on Holladay ave nue. Near Crosby street he entered a vacant lot on which are several trees and some underbrush. It was midnight and dark. The place looked good and as he loitered there, two young men, clerks, it Is said. In a down-town store, approached, on their way home. "Woof," said the bear, aa he stalked good-naturedly out of the underbrush towards the young men,' evidently think ing they were his friends from - the cruiser. The young men looked, and po lice officers declared yesterday that latest reports were to the effect that after passing St. John, they were aeen going in the direction of Seattle. Bruin followed a short distance, but discouraged at such a reception, paused and started across the street. Reaching the car tracks, he was attracted by a brilliant light coming towards him and sat' down. In the middle of the tracks. The headlight of the car was full upon him and Motorman Hicks brought the car to a stop. In astonishment. - Astonishment soon gave way to a de sire to capture the animal, and, with a number of passengers, the motorman at tempted to lasso the bear. But the ani mal objected, and to escape the colls of the rope, ran up a 60-foot telephone pole. Motorman Hicks climbed after him and tried vainly to throw the rope about his head. Meanwhile, a detail of police officers arrived and a long string of cars', hasten ing on their last outward trip, was forced to stand Idle on the tracks. Among the officers who arrived on the scene were Patrolmen Raney and Newell and sev eral plain-clothes men. The Joined the crowd which had congregated and gave advice to the motorman as to how to capture the bear. . Motorman Hicks finally agreed that he was unable to throw a rope over the bear's head and. descending, secured a torch with which to frighten the animal from its lofty perch. As he again climbed the pole with the torch In his hand, bruin showed signs of nervous ness. He was not afraid of the rope, and snapped at It viciously. As the motorman climbed higher and closer to the bear, the light began to have the desired effect. The bear wanted to get down. Then a question arose In the mind of the motorman and the crowd s to whether the animal or the man should have the right-of-way in descend ing. The man decided In favor of the bear. Retreating precipitously, the motorman waited at the foot of the pole until the bear came down, then tried to tie the rope around the animal's neck. He suc ceeded, but not until the bear had severely lacerated his hand and had bit ten him In the leg. The bear was then placed on board the car and the congestion of traffic relieved. Motorman Hicks took the bear home, but detachment -of Italian sailors called early yesterday rooming and the animal was returned to the cruiser. , HARRIMAN LINE OFFICIALS GUESTS AT UNIQUE DINNER President Howard, of the Commonwealth Trust Company. Host at Ban quet Made Notable by Numerous Attractive Features. OXE of the most unique and elaborate social . functions given In this city during1 the Summer season was the "Oregon dinner" in The Oaks grillroom, at which only Oregon products occupied places of honor on the menu. C. S. Howard, president of ' the Common wealth Trust Company of St. Louis, was the host and the dinner was arranged as the finale to a pleasure trip over the O. W. P. lines, given by President JosselyrH of the Portland Hallway, Light & Power Company. The guesta were 60 officials of the Harriman railway system, superin tendents of motive power of the various parts of the system, with their wives and friends. The. grillroom was embowered in foli age, daintily sprinkled with the first colorings of Autumn leaves, ferns and Oregon grape. Garlands of vari-colored electric lights were suspended over the long table. The center piece was- a miniature train of cars, with a looomo- ' tlve. electric-lighted, with the fitting miniature accompaniments of block signal stations, watch-towers, etc. , The center of the table was loaded with Oregon fruits, Oregon walnuts and everything that tended to illustrate the wonderful richness of the state's soil. The party, which Included many Eastern people who had never been in the Pacific North west before, had for one of the appetizer courses a plate of crawfish. In an ex planatory preface to his guests, when this course was brought forth, . "Common wealth 9teel" Howard made a witty re mark to the effect that 'the art of eating crawfish consists In displaying the most grace with the least grease." Mr.. Howard is an enthusiastic admirer of the state ajid It was - his own idea to advertise Oregon by Impressing upon the attention of his guests the fact that about everything the heart could wish in the way of variety at a feast came from Oregon. The railway officials were each presented with a souvenir menu of the occasion, having inscribed the auto- i graph of each guest present. It was as follows: Piston Packing a la Omaha.
