TIIE MOItXIXtt OREGOXIAX- TOURSDAY, ATGUST 21, 1913. 12 FURLONG HELD 115 ROBBER SUSPECT Ex-Special Policeman, in Jail. Identifies Man He Says He Recognized on Train. HARRY COLEMAN DETAINED Former Officer, Arrested on Spree, Tells Story ot Holdup Alleged Teggman Barron Dies With out Confessing His Guilt. In Leo Furlong. 23 years old. four tlmea arrested for robbery. Sheriff Word believes be has one of the three men who held up and robbed passen gers on the O.-W. R. & N. Soo-Spokane train as it was leaving the East Side yards Tuesday night. Furlong, who was arrested at his home. S68 Delay street, was positively identified by Harry Coleman, a, former special po liceman, who asserts that he was on the robbed train, and that he rocognlxed Furlong. Both are held In Jail with out bail. Furlong as a suspect and Cole man on an open charge. Coleman, who was discharged several months ago for intoxication while on duty, was in Troutdale yesterday aft ernoon, drinking. He showed a metal badge, and said that he was a special agent of the O.-W. R. N. Company. He swore in Thomas Corter, a saloon keeper of Troutdale. as a deputy. Sheriff Word sent Deputies Phelan and Ford to Troutdale, where they arrested Coleman and brought him back to Fort, land. Stolen Goods Not Feud. ' . Under quizzing Coleman said that be knew one of thp robbers. He named Furlong, but was afraid to tell where Furlong lived. The deputies, finding Furlong's home, arrested him in bed. A search of the premises revealed none of the stolen goods. Coleman told the following story of Tuesday night: I am an ex-trainman and was rid ing on the train, through courtesy of one of the men. I started to get Into the cab, and the engineer told me that I could not ride there. So I started back through the train, because the en gineer told me that the conductor was Reams and I knew him and felt sure be would let me ride. Just as I was going through I heard a shot and thought it was a torpedo. Then the train came to a stop, and someone shouted that there was a holdup. I ran on Into the rear car and shouted for Bomeone to give me a gun. Just then up came Furlong. He shoved A gun in my face, and said: "111 give you a gun, Duckey-' Then, when I started away be fired at me, and the bullet went into the wall. Sbootlng la Explained. "I hopped off and went to the front ot the train and started to pull a whis tle. Someone, a trainman, I tblnk, told me to cut it out, and I got scared and started up the bank. There were two men there and they yelled at me to stop. I ducked and ran and they fired at me. Then I hid in the bushes and when the train started again I boarded It and went to Troutdale." Officers believe that Coleman was the man whom Detectives Hyde and Vaughn shot at as be came up the bank from the train. Coleman says be has known Furlong for several years, and information was gathered by the Sheriff to prove that the two were about town yesterday drinking. Furlong and members of hjs family assert that he was ill the night of the holdup, and went to bed at 6 o'clock, from which time, they said, he did not arise until Deputy Sheriffs Phe lan. Lumsden, Ford and Lorfield ar rested him. His description tallies well with that of the younger and more nervous of the two robbers in the rear coach, the man who held a revolver on the passengers. Without making any statement to clear up the mystery of why he was shot at the scene of the hold-up, Joe Barron, alleged yeggman, died at St Vincent's hospital at 3 o'clock yester day afternoon. That the Job was the work of "hop heads" is generally believed among the officers. Chief Special Agent Wood, of the railroad company, and Detectives Coleman, Hellyer and Howell, say it was a "boob trick," the robbers going at their work in a bungling manner. Robbers Overlook: S3O.OO0. f The robbers made no attempt to get 1.10,000 carried on the train as a pos( office shipment. Earl Barn? tt. living at 223 West Park street, and Royal Eastman, known as "Red." both minors, were "riding the rods" on the train when the hold-up occurred, and it was Barnett who first broke for the bank of Sullivan's Gulch to give the alarm. The boys say that they were waiting at the east end of the Steel bridge to catch the train, when they saw three men lurking in the neighborhood. All were hard looking characters. As the engineer tried his air brakes, imediately after leaving the Interlocking system and entering the gulch, the trio swung aboard. Both youths are further sure that Barron was one of the three and that he was the man who ran toward the rear of the train, firing a revolver. As the smaller of the pair who went through the observation car, the man known by his partner as "Dick." was . obviously drunk, it Is the accepted theory that he, bewildered and prob ably thlnkingBarron an officer, fired the fatal shot. TAX CHANGE IS SUGGESTED C. V.' Galloway, of State Board, In Favor of Fall Payments. " ASTORIA, Or Aug. 20. (Special.) "One great trouble with the assess ment and tax collection system in Ore gon at the present time is that the taxes are due and payable in tne eany Spring, which is the one period of the entire year when money is the least plentiful," declared C. V. Galloway ot the State Board of Tax Commissioners. "Could the change be made so that taxes would be payable in the Fall, after the harvests are over and at th close of the Summer, when everyone has been at work, the burden of taxa tion would not be nearly so great a drain upon the resources or the people. The tax commission believes that, and it is working to bring this change gradually Into effect. Mr. Galloway, with Assessor Lelnen weber, is going over several matters in connection with the 1913 assessment roll, as well as making a trip of in spection to various sections of the ' county. Folk County Crops Excellent. DALLAS, Or", Aug. 20. (Special.) Crop conditions in Polk County are the best in years. The grain and hay have mostly been cared for, and from all over the county bumper crops are re ported. The hops are in excellent con ditlon and the yield promises to be exceptionally large. The prunes are of superior quality this year and the trees are loaded. ENGINE CREW HELD UP IN - : -1 r,z.

BODIES OF 10 ON WAY, TOO Belief Krprcsscd That Hulk of Steamer, In 25 Fathoms of Water, i Too Deep for Divers to Work. DeadYetEn tombed 1 n Cra f t. SEATTLE, Aug. 20. The steamships Jefferson and Northwestern, which will reach Seattle Thursday night and Fri day morning, respectively, are bring ing the surviving passengers f the lost steamship State of California, ex cept several who are in a hospital at Juneau suffering from shock and In juries; the bodies of ten passengers and the surviving members ot the crew of the sunken boat, except five who remained with the wreck. It is believed that the bulk of the ill-fated ship is In such deep water more than 25 fathoms that the divers who have gone north will not be able to work, but this depth has not been verified by soundings. No bodies have risen from the wreck, and this is taken to indicate that the boat was not broken up. Even if the divers cannot explore the ship, they will be able to break it up and release some of the Undies. The assertion that the State of Cali fornia struck an uncharted rock, com ing so soon after the testimony of Captain Archie McKay, of the steam ship Yukon, wrecked on Sannak Island in June, that he lost his bearings be cause the soundings did not agree with the charts, has caused the Government to contemplate a resurvey of Gambier Bay and Sannak Island to determine whether or not the charts are true. It is declared by mariners that currents along the Alaska shore have changed, as well as depths, and the recent earth quakes and volcanic disturbances are said to have altered the sea floor. Captain Robert D. MacGUllvary. pilot of the State of California, who is in a Juneau hospital, is much less seriously injured than first reports said. He suffered a fracture of two ribs, however. The steamship company still places the number of drowned at 32. and other estimates are about 40. All the pas sengers whose names are published In the list of missing are given up for dead. The steamship company today added four names to the list of missing. The new names are those of Frank Fuller, embarked at Prince ' Rupert, B. C; James Gustaveson. embarked at Wrangell. Alaska: Ernest J. Reld, em barked at Prince Rupert: August Vresh, embarked at Prince Rupert. This brings the list of known miss ing up to 17. Among those 17 names are those of eight women. . JUNEAU. AlaskaTAug. 20. A launch arrived tonight from Gambler Bay with the body of W. A. Dyer, of Milwaukee, Wis., which was picked up in floating wreckage on the bay. This la the 11th body recovered. The Indians in the vicinity of Gambier Bay salvaged a large amount of whisky, freight and steamer furnishings. They became drunk on the whisky, but were care ful to turn over all personal property. Mr. Dyer, who was a student in Mar quette Medical College, Milwaukee, perished while his stateroom mate and traveling companion, Paul Neacy, also a student in Marquete College, was saved. 6oundlngs with a 34-fathom line show no bottom where the State of California went down 200 feet from shore. MISS FUIDD'S BODY KECOVEKED Body of Xortli Dakota Girl, to Be Taken East by Friend. MONMOUTH, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.) From the latest reports received last night there remains no doubt as to the fate of Miss Blanche Frldd and Miss Minnie Harland, passengers on the ill fated steamer State of California. Miss Frldd's body has been recovered and fullv identified by friends. Her body will" be taken to Valley City, N. D by Miss Mable West, who was a personal friend and intimate acquaintance before SULLIVAN'S GULCH ROBBERY . 'A A.D ENGINEER G. E- PHELPS, she came to Oregon. Every effort will be made to locate Miss Harlan's body, and word has been sent to her brother at Osgood, Ind., her old home, informing her parents and her immediate relatives of the sad acci dent. SPUR WILL PASS GULCH Spokane, Portland & Seattle to Run JAne to Factory District. v Surveys are being made for the rail way spur which will be built in Sulli van's Gulch by the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway Company to East Eighteenth street. This track will start from East Second street between Bust Burnside and East Ankeny and pass under the east approach to the Burnside bridge. It then passes through the vacant property between East Third and East Second streets to Sullivan Gulch, where It turns eastward into tho Gulch. The line surveyed so far Indicates that fie route will be along the south side of the 0.-W. R. & N. Company's right of way. Between East Eighth and East Twelfth the survey runi through and alongside the high bluff, which will necessitate a deep cut along that side and a probable fill between the mouth of the Gulch and East Eighth street. The route along tho south side is be in? cleared of brush as far as the East Twelfth-street bridge. This spar is needed to reach the warehouse and fac tory property which was recently sold by the Oregon Real Estate Company to a syndicate.

HIGHWAY HEEI6 INVITATIONS SENT Western End of Columbia Road to Be Urged During Ses ' sions at Gearhart. WORK ON EAST END NEAR President Meier, of Association, Asks for Awakening of Sentl-' ' ment and Slajor Bowlby Is to Talk on Effect. Julius L. Meier, president of the Co lumbia Highway Association, yesterday sent out invitations to the good roads advocates ot Oregon to attend the sec ond session of the association to be held at Gearhart, Or., August SI nd September 1, when the counties through which the proposed Portland Coast road would pass, will be urged at once to adopt means to complete the second unit of the road along the Columbia In Oregon. Washington and Columbia counties In particular will be urged to take up their part of the work of creating a great scenic highway between Portland and the ocean. The Judges and Commissioners from the counties Interested especially are urged to attend, as the meettlng is de signed to show these men that the road would bea boon to these counties. The State Highway Commission has no funds available for such a task, ac cording; to Major H. L. Bowlby, who last ye.r went over the ground to make a report on the feasibility of the plan, but be will again appear before the association and talk on the good which the four counties would derive. . Road Held Farmers' Need. "The argument often has been brought forward by those opposed to the highway that the autolsts would be the only people benefited by such a road, but that is wrong" says Major Bowlby. "However, it is impossible for any farming community to get along without the use of a good road. - "Of course, the road would be a great attraction for tourists, but tour ists mean money and tbey do not pre vent any long-distance road such as this, would be from being valuable lo cally. "The State of Washington tried a lew experiments along this line, and they were so successful that it has begun the expenditure of J19.000.000 for roads in 1913 and 1914. That ought to be an argument worth looking into. 1 am prepared to give a lot of infor matlon along that line. , "The work of building -the road along the Upper Columbia from Biggs, Wasco County, to Portland, soon will-be well under way. f Multnomah County has done its work in both directions, and Clatsop also has done considerable work, but there is much left for all concerned." President I'rgea AwakenlBK Mr. Meier's letter says in part: "As a firm believer In the results to be attained by a good, passable, per manent highway to tbe sea. continuing the splendid work of the Upper Colum bia highway from Portland to The Dalles, which should be opened next year, I believe sentiment among the people . living in the Great Lower Co lumbia Basin must be awakened -at once. "This meeting with your presence. as well as all the commissioners and judges of the counties affected, is bound to be productive of some results. "There will be three trains Saturday, one at 9 A. M., one at 2 P. M. and one at 6:30 P. M., also Sunday morning at 9 A. M in case it will be impossible for you to get away on Saturday. I also want to call your attention to the fact that Monday Is a holiday, Labor day. "In conclusion I desire to say that my interest in this matter is prompted solely by the need for creating betten roads In this state, and at present my efforts are being directed towards the the highway to the sea.

CONSTANTLY on the qui vive for the supreme perfection in motion pic turedom, ceaselessly and tirelessly searching, looking, working in a thou sand ways by telephone, telegraph and cable to obtain features in the true sense of the word to present to its pa trons. tho People's Amusement Com pany feels In its happy achievement of yesterday Its efforts crowed with suc cess. Seldom has It been the fortune of the company to present at one time such perfect interpretations of modern film science and art. Kach of the first-run houses presents a production of which any management may well feel proud. The People's offers "The Beaten Path," a problem screen production dealing with that endless theme, he redity. It is the vindication of the weak and the solace of the strong. In all the numerous magazine articles, popular novels, dramas by noted au thors, such as Henrlk Ibsen, never has a more vivid and broad, a more compre hensive interpretation appeared. It reaches the heart of heredity, and so vividly portrays through tbe silent drama that the audience finds a sub conscious awakening, though often re luctant, to what strength of charac ter means, not to the individual entire ly, but to the universe and to the fu ture generations of great men and women. It is strong, forceful and po tent. Several other interesting films appear. Gordon Soule. the boy pianist, has added new honors to his credit. His interpretation of classical selections shows power and sympathy. In presenting "The Trail of Steel" the Arcade management has given to the public a glimpse of the earlier struggles of advance of civillztion through the extension of railroads. It is a most powerful story wonderfully told, and the acting fills with amaze ment, so true to detail, while the scenery, by the vastness of the ground covered and in the wild beauty of an undeveloped country, is worthy of ar tistic reproduction upon canvas and will long live in the memories of thosts fortunate enough to witness this stir ring and intense photodrama. Tho musical numbers of Miss Shat- tuck were in tone with the pleasing film programme. The Star theater offered a beautiful film play, "Parted at the Altar." a drama teeming with pathos, loving sac rifice and delightful acting, 'ine nu merous scenes of this pleasing produc tion contain Intense climaxes of deep emotion and heart interest. Other fea tures of the film programme were in teresting, and a Keystone comedy, "The Ragtime Band." added the meas ure of mirth to blenfi into a perfect whole. Miss Edith Vernon, the Cali fornia vocalist, responded gracefully to numerous merited encores. ATTORNEY IS ARRESTED J. "HAT" HITCHIXGS ACCUSED OP PEEPING IN WISDOWS. Activity in Preferring Charges of Immorality Has Resulted In Earning Stftplclon of Police. Caught playing "Peeping Tom," at a residence at 52S Columbia street, it is charged, J. "Hat" Hitchings, an at torney of some notoriety, was arrest ed by Patrolman Schirmer, late Tues day night, and later, after being re leased on his recognizance, was kicked bodily out of the police station when he returned to threaten to "get" the arresting officer. When Hitchings' case was called In Municipal Court yesterday, nearly a dozen- women were present to give testimony against him, and it is said their number will be augmented be tween now and the trial of the case. Complaint ia made by D. J. Cogh lan, who alleges that Hitchings was caught peeping in at his windows. Nu merous other residents in the vicinity assert that he has been hanging about the neighborhood for several weeks. Hitchings has been horsewhipped publicly by several women whose characters he was said to have at tacked, the most recent Incident be ing about three years ago, when the 'castigatlon was administered by a young woman whose arrest he had procured on an immorality charge. Hitchings attempted to have Police Captain Bailey disciplined for refus ing to book the girl on his demand. He has been active for yeara In an independent effort to collect evidence of Immorality, and carries about a great mass of written memoranda which he offers from time to time to everyone In authority. Suspicion that Hitchings is .seeking to sexve per sonal motives has deterred each suc cessive official from accepting the evi dence. Hitchings was ejected sum marily from Chief Clark's office a few days ago, when he went to lay charges against former Chief Slover and thejn repudiated his statements when Clark called Slover In. ST.

Residents of Waverly, Richmond arid Waverleigh districts on the East Side have started a vigorous campaign of protest against the proposed location at East Twenty-eighth and Tlbbetts streets of a tubercular sanitarium and axe planning a series of meetings to express their objection to the proj ect which seems to be fostered by a number of enterprising physicians. A committee of home owners in that vicinity, including N. C. Thorne. a member of the faculty of Portland academy. 'and C. G. Sutherland, as sistant to the general manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, is engaged in circulating petitions which will be pre sented to the City Council asking that no permit for the Institution be granted. ... The site for the proposed sanitarium is a tract 100 feet on East Twenty eighth etreet and 13 feet on Tlbbetts street. The neighborhood is well built up with fine residences and on both sides of the proposed hospital the property Is built solid with fine homes, all of them occupied by the owners and each' housing children. The site is 400 feet from the Clinton-Kelly school and from 300 to 400 children pass the place four times a day. The promoters propose to establish tent houses to take care of the pa tients. It Is pointed out that this plan would be inimical to the health of per sons passing the place. The Council will be urged to pass an ordiance prohibiting the erection of tubercular sanitariums In tbe city limits. WOMAN BELIEVED SUICIDE Footprints Near River Found After Disappearance at Salem.
