PAROLE 10 PRISON
SAN QUENTLV, CaL, Not 8. After
breaking his parole and gaining free
dom for more than five years, Frank
Lamb is in prison again today, brought
back by his father, D. W. Lamb, of
Shasta County.
Longing for news of home the boy
wrote to his father from Seattle. The
father replied, telling his son to come
home. When he arrived the elder
Lamb took him back to prison to serve
out his seven year sentence for grand
larceny.
Frank Lamb was a model prisoner
at San Quentin, where he was taken
in 1906 to serve a seven year term for
grand larceny. The parole machin
ery was invoked and he was released
on probation in 1907, with instructions
not to leave the state and to make re
ports to the authorities at stated Intervals.
For a time young Lamb succeeded
In obeying the parole regulations.
Then the trait which his father char
acterizes as "a little wild", reassert
ed Itself and be took to the road. A
short time ago, tired of a wandeder's
life, he drifted back to the home
ranch.
"I don't bold anything against the
old man for bringing mme back here,"
said the prisoner in Warden Hoyle's
office. "I'm going to try and be more
like him. If I'd been like him I'd nev
er got into this scrape at all He's

10 REVEAL PLANS
PRINCETON, N. J, Nov. 7. "I
think my right course Just now is to
hear everybody, and that I should
not make any statements."
This was the answer made b President-elect
Wood row Wilson today to
a series of requests for statements
of his attitude on National and Inter
national questions. He was asked by
various newspaper about an extra
session of Congress, Canadian reci
procity. International relations, the
Panama Canal and a variety of is
sues. In line with his campaign argument
that the Prenldency should ba con
ducted "through the common counsel
of the country," he will now, so far
nosslble, assume a receptive atti
tude, rather than one of pronouncing
himself on Issues before be takes his
office.
Governor Wilson looked eagerlrto
day toward a big basket of mail filled
to overflowing. It appeared be would
continue bis custom of opening all
mall himself. He likes to do it.
"You know that I will recognize the
i
in tne result, i nave no complaint to
make or criticism to offer.
"I fought for the! abolishment of
capital punishment because my con
science dictated such action. I have
always been opposed to it, and always
will be.
"However, the voters of the state
have declared their wishes in the
matter and I intend to abide by their
decision. There may be times when
circumstances will cause this office
to use executive clemency, but hang
ing Is to be the order of the day.
Friday, the thirteenth of December,
should be a red letter day for many
of those who favor capital punish
ment
"I am sorry that the seating capacity
in he death chamber Is so limited,
for we will, undoubtedly, be obliged
to turn away many who have been
looking forward to this event. How
ever, we will do the best we can.
Seven men who are condemned to
die on Friday, December 13, are
Mike Morgan, convicting of killing
John York in Josephine County
Frank Garrison, convicted of killing
Roy Perkins in Coos County; Noble
Foulder, convicted of killing Louis
Gilbert In Klamath County; Jack
Roberts, convicted of killing Donald
fatewart and George Hastings in Mult
nomah County, and Charles and
George Humphreys, convicted of kill
ing Eliza Griffith in Benton County.
The Humphreys brothers' case has
been appealed to the supreme court
on stay of execution, and unless the
court decides against them before
the fatal December day, they will not
be included in the hangings.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. In the
plans that are being made by Presl

for rehabilitation of the Republican
party no compromise will be consid
ered that looks forward to the nomi
nation of Theodore Roosevelt for

party to bring about his own nomina

If Mr. Roosevelt really Is cherishing
this ambition and expects to walk

zation four years hence, he may as

bitter fight, perhaps as hitter as tne
one tint has Just resulted In the
election of Woodrow Wilson by an
overwhclmmlng majority.
From talk that President Taft has
had with Republicans since election
It Is aparnt now that he had no Illu

election. As a good soldier he en
deavored to assume an air of confi

REDDING. Cal.. Nov. 9. A rain
soaked posse guided by bloodhounds
Is hot on the trail of two of the three
robbers who last night held up the
northbound Shasta Limited near Del
ta, and escaped to the bills with three
sacks of registered mail. The third
robber, whose first name is Frank,
was shot and killed by James Yoak
um, head brakeman on the Limited.
Earlier reports stated that Brakeman
Thorb Sanford did the shooting but
Investigation today showed that Yoak
um was the man who engaged in a
duel with the third of the outlaws.
The robbery was one of the most
daring since the days of the Evans
and Sonntag gang. Delta, a little vll
lage in the Sierra foothills, was the
spot selected for the holdup.
The three men boarded the train
shortly before 8:30 o'clock, when it
stopped for water Just before entering
Delta. As the engine entered the town
a torpedo exploded, and Engineer
Henry Wentx brouht the train to a
standstill. The robber who was lat
er killed by Yoakum crawled over the
tender and covered the engineer. The
other two forced open the doors of
the mall car, threatening to kill the
clerks if they sounded an alarm. Res
idents of Delta watched the train
stop, saw a man crawl Into the cab.
but never suspected that the train
was being held up.
Brakeman Yoakum rushed to the
engine and took In the situation at a
glance. Crawling under the care be
ran to John Morton's saloon.
"For God's sake give me a revolver
quick," be gasped. 'They are holding
us up-
Followed by Morton the brakeman
rushed bank to the engine. In the light
reflected from the engine's open fire
box he saw the position of the bandit.
Without giving the robber an oppor
tunity to surrender, Yoakum opened
fire. Two bullets went wild,, and the
same number from the outlaw's re
volver missed the mark. A third shot
sent the highwayman tumbling from
the cab, mortally wounded, but he
kept up the fire until he had emptied
bis revolver. Two of the bullets
whizzed over Yoakum's head and a
third passed through his bat, but he
escaped unhurt.
The robbers in tho mall car became
apprehensive with the first shot.
Snatching three sacks of registered
mail they fled through the open door.
They saw their companion pitch from
th cab, and then made for the foot
bills. The wounded bandit lived only
a few minutes. Pursuit of the robbers
was begun immediately. Nothing was
found on the dead man that would
lead to his identification. One of the
mall clerks said he heard one of the
robbers refer to the man In the en
gine as "Frank."
The Inquest on the bandit's body
will be held In Redding Tuesday. Sev
eral photographs of bis thumb prints
have been taken and this may lead to
his Identification. Members of the
sheriffs posse admitted this af
ternoon that they possessed no
clues, despite an all night's search
to the wnereabouts of the bandits.
A hard rain has obliterated the tracks
of the fugitives, hampering the posses
in following the trail.
Brakeman Yoakum, this afternoon,
modestly disclaimed any credit for
killing the bandit. He lives at Ash
land, Oregon.

SALEM, Or, Nov. 13. Governor West
today Issued an ultimatum to Mayor
Mlcelll, of Rosebtirg. Mlcelll must re-
sign and make way for someone who
will enforce the liquor laws, or the
governor will see that the suits to
put the Rosebtirg Brewery as Ice
Company, of which Mayor Mlcelll Is
one of the leading stockholders, out
of business are vigorously prosecuted.
"Unless Miiyor Mlcelll resigns I
have Instructed District Attorney
Brown to bring an Injunction -suit
against the Hoseburg Brewery & Ice
Company and also proceed to revoke
the company's charter," declared the
governor today. "If Mayor Micclll gets
out of offl ce and lets someone who
will enforce the laws, there may not
be need to prosecute these civil suits."
For some time District Attorney
Brown has had the officials of the
brewery company In court on a charge;
of violating the local option law. The
brewery was supposed to be manu
facturing nothing but near-beer, but
the charge was made that real beer
was being manufactured and sold
there. The Jury which tried the case
first hung six to six. Then in the
election the brewery people made a
vlgorom fight against the reelection
of District Attorney Brown, who made
a campaign isue out ot his determin
ation to fight the brewery to a finish.
After Brown's reelection five direct
ors of the brewery company went In
to the court and pleaded guilty to vio
lating the local option law and paid
fines aggregating over $2000.
"As the mayor is a leading stock
bolder of this company be should
now get out of office", said the gov
ernor, "and If he doesn't be will have
to take the consequences. The con
fession of guilt of the directors will
be good material for having the com-,
party's license revoked."
An Irate Bull Mooscr and a tivar
slghter Socialist, voting In adjoining
booths Tuesday at Gladstone, com
mitted harl-karl to all election ethics
mid otherwise desecrated thtf sanctity
of the polls, when the admirer of Teddy
discovered that part of hl8 ballot had
already been given the necessary "X"
and straight Socialist at that.
The flection Judges had been forced
to Improvise two extra booths to meet
the demands of a slow and heavy
vote. A partition was arranged above
the renter of an dike desk, but un
fortunately a space of half an Inch
remained between the table and the
partition. Teddy's man, probably feel
ing that Itoosevelt's returns might be
a little late In materializing mis year
anyhow, had decided to vote the Ini
tiative measures first, and was so In
terested In his (ask (hat he failed to
observe that about half an Inch of
his ballot had slipped Into the sacred
dominions of his neighbor. About
this time the advocate of Eugene H
Debs began his march down the So
cialist calendnr, and had delivered
about six telling uppcrcuts against
capitalism, little dreaming that he
wns marking the wrong ballot. A
Bull Mooser and a Socialist are not
the best of friends in the world, even
under ordinary circumstances and
environments, so of course In a few
minutes things were doing.
"What'a wrong with this ballot?"
angrily thundered the Bull Mooser In
a tone that fairly shook the ballot
box.
"The Interests 'Big Business' "
they re robbing me of my very vote,"
said the Debs man at the same
Instant. feeling at sort of slipping
sensation, as the ballot disappeared
from beneath bis fingers.
"Ah-ah." quoted the Progressive:
Thou shalt not steal."
Only prompt action of the election
clerks in locating the trouble and re
adjusting the situation to. suit the
wounded voters prevented further
altercation.
To assuage the wounded feelings
of the Mooser, he was given a nine
clean white ballot and Instructions to
try it all over again. The dignity of
the precinct hall was upset for some
little time afterward and eventually
all parties had a good laugh.
though railroad men agree in declar
Ing that one sure result will be lu
n raising In rrelght rates generally
throughout (he state, except III the
particular classes of goods named III
the hill. This they say must bo done
by the railroads lu self preservation,
owing to what they point out as the
ruinously low rales on these classes
of goods that the hill would put Into
effect. y
Portland shipper, especially, (hoy
say. would tie injured. The Pordand
Chamber of Commerce may be
brought Into the fight against the
measure on this account.
The measure Is declared by attor
neys to Ih so vague In Its wording
that any one of three constructions
can be placed on' certain portions of
it.
Whether the railroads will try to
enjoin the state officials from enforc
ing the new law has not yet been dn
elded, and a definite course of action
la not likely, to be settled for several
days. This, however, will probably be
the course taken.
No Joint action is at present con
templated by the railroads. If an In
junction Is asked, each railroad would
bring suit separately to enjoin the
railroad commission, the attorney
general and probably the sheriffs-and
district attorneys of the counties
through which the road passes from
enforcing (he law.
As an Instance of the Injustice the
bill would work, railroad men polirt
out that It would force (he O. W. It.
& N. (o enrry all classes of goods be
tween Portlnnd and The Dalles for
less than (he present water rate.
This would not only he ruinous to the
rnllmad. but would force (he Open
River Transportation Company out of
business, because it could not compute
with such a rate.
From Portland to Albany, it la fur
ther pointed out, the rnllroad would
have to carry the goods named for
less than the actual cost of transpor
tation. The result, railroad men say,
would have to be higher rales on oth

hawk, searching for John Morgan of
Brownsville, who has been lost since
October 29. He was hunting with a
party of friends and been unsuccess
ful for several days. The Tuosday
morning, before the party left camp.
he told the others his son and a
grandson were among the number
that he probably would not return to
camp that night, as he was going to
watch an old deer runway that ne
knew of, several miles back of the
camp. He told them not to be uneasy
abo.it him unless he failed to return
Wednesday night

uo the hunt for him and sent out to
nearby towns for help. Several hun
dred men scoured the woods the rest
nt the week, snd gome are still search
ing, though there Is little chance Uo
find him living.
Mr. Morgan is 70 years of age, and
had heart trouble. Aa he has bunted
all over the divide for 40 years and
knew every creek and hill. It Is be
lieved that In some way be became

SAVING TO THE CITY IS ABOUT $450
All Street Inspectors Hereafter Will
be Under Supervision of
Council Com
mittee The City Council at a special meet
ing Thursday evening votedlo ac
cept the report of T. W. Sullivan
regarding- the excavations on 81x
tiuth. John Qiilney Adams and
Jackson Streets. The report of Mr.
Sullivan reduces the amount to be
paid the Oregon Engineering & Con
struction Company about $100. Mc
Alpln t Wilson, employed by the Ore
gon Engineering & Construction Com
pany, did the work and it is supposed
they will have to accept the payment
suggested by the council or bring suit
Ktreet Inspector Burk filed a report
with the council some time ago that
the classifications as allowed by City
Engineer Montgomery on the work on
the streets should be examined. He
said the contractor! had been given
credit for having made excavations of
hardpan, when a a matter of fact the
streets were plowed with four borse
teams. He said hardpan could not be
plowed. A further investigation was
made by the street committee and
then Mr. Sullivan was employed to
furnish a report.
By s unanimous vote the council
decided that all street Inspectors
should be under the supervision of the
street committee Instead of the city
engineer's office. It was slso urged
that all money collected by the police
from prisoners as ball be turned over
to the proper authorities as soon as
possible. The police say this has al
ways been done. It was explained by
the council that no reflection was In
tended on the police force.
