NEW YORK. Aug. (.One gun
man was killed and two others
game today. The three were shot
thev had raided a Harlem dice
probably fatally wounded after
liy police as they attempted to ea
cspe after lining seventy men
against a wall and collecting aev
era! thousand dollars In money and
Jewelry.
Truck robber last night entered
the Wilder and Agee clothing store,
and looted the place of merchan
dise valued at more than $1,500.
Suits, shirts, underwear, ahoea,
and many other artlclea of clothing;
were taken in wholesale lota, and
carried away In an automobile,
the robbers secured a small amount
of cash from the money drawer.
News of the robbery and a descrip
tion of the stolen goods have been
broadcast through the state, and of
ficers hope to locate the thieves.
Thla la the second time the cloth
ing store has been robbed thla
year, and the ninth time since the
business has been established. Be
cause of the location, the dark al
ley In the rear, and the eaae with
which the building can he entered
the store offers an easy mark for
robbers, and (oases In late years
have been very heavy.
It is evident that last nlght'a
crime was committed by two men,
both small In alse, and experienced
In their work. They reached the
roof by means of a small ahed on
the northwest corner and then
broke out a pane of the skylight.
A knotted, quarter-Inch hemp
rope was swung from the roof Into
the atore building, and they evi
dently dropped through by means
of the rope, about ten feet long, to
table from which thev could
easily reach the floor.
It Is Indicated that they were In
the store room for a considerable
period of time, as the goods taken
were carefully sorted for alies.
Tracks were found where they
backed their car up to the rear
entrance of the building, and in
the ashes the prints of their feet
were plainly found, showing where
they had made several trips, back
and forth, carrying out the loot
which they had gathered up Inside
the building.
They took thirty or more suits of
clothea, sizes 36, 3? and 38, snd
several pairs of shoes, site 7. Two
plies of allk shirts were removed,
the sixes being 141. The men also
took four dozen pairs of gloves,
several aweater coats, ladles' silk
hose, two auto robes, hata and caps,
four suits of pajamas, neckties,
socks, suspenders, belts, and other
artlclea of clothing. Naturally the
proprletora are unable to say de
finitely how much has been taken,
but from what they have checked
the loss will run well over $1,000.
Two auspicious looking charac
ters were noticed yesterday In the
vicinity, of the store, and a good
description of them was obtained
and given the officers, and an ef
fort la being made to locate them.
A description of the goods stolen Is
also being sent broadcast through
the state.
Officers feel that It la possible
that the robbery was performed by
the companlona of Lee Duncan,
who Is now confined to the peni
tentiary for participation in a num
ber of robberlea In this city.
When Duncan visited the city In
the spring he robbed the Wilder
and Agee store. At that time he
was known to have had help, and

PORTLAND, Aug. 6. Tom
Word, aperial Investigator In the
t'nlted Wales Department of Jus
tice and former sheriff of Mult
nomah county, announced ths
morning that he had resigned.
Several days ago Word received
notice that he was to be trans

Arizona. He at once wired the
department that he could go to
Phoenix for a temporary assign
ment, but that It would be diffi
cult to go permanently, as his
home and property are here. All
his family reside here, and since
he has lived In Portland for more
than 3( years. It would he hard
to "pull out", as requested.
Pack came the reply from some
department clerk. Word suppos
aes, to this effect: "Oo to Phoe
nix, Arlsons, permsnently or send
in your resignation at once." The
resignation was sent.
