MAN SHOOTS WOMAN, THEN SELF
Pair Registered Under Names of Jos
eph , Vogel and Lottie Vogel Sus
pected by Police as Accom
plices in Diamond Robery
NEW YORK, Nov. 18. A man and
woman stood in a small room of a
Raines Law hotel in the Bronx tonight
and deliberately shot down three de
tectives and two other men who were
trying to place the pair under arrest.
After nearly emptying the 11 cham
bers of a large automatic revolver, re
inforced by shots from an ordinary
revolver in the hands of his woman
companion and probably fatally wound
ing four of those whom he shot down,
the man shot and killed the woman
and then put a bullet through his own
head, dying instantly.
This is the outline of one of the
most serious shooting affrays the de
tectives of this city have run into so
far as these conflicting stories of the
shooting had" been sifted tonight.
The dead man is known by several
names, having registered at the hotel
as Joseph- Vogel. The police declare
he is a Pole named Pheres Doragyes
ki. The woman had registered as
Lottie Vogel.
Vogel was 48 years old and the
woman was about 25.
The detectives were on the trail
of the pair, suspecting them of hav
ing "been accomplices in a diamond
robbery for which Sophie Beckendorf
a domestic, had been held for the
grand jury today. Ihe woman who
had lost the jewels traced the girl to
Vogel's house and told the detectives
of her discovery.
After a taxicab chase today the de
tectives learned that the Vogels had
sought lodging at the Elsmere Hotel,
at Cortland Avenue and One Hundred
and Sixty-first Street in the Bronx.
Cenaral Office Detective Fay and
Private Detective John v Allen and;
Louis Gerade went to the hotel in
search of their quarry late tonight.

COMMITTEE DECIDES THAT P. R.
L. & P. CO. MUST PROVIDE
ONE IN CITY
FREIGHT HOURS FROM 10-7 O'CLOCK
Officers of Corporation and Represen
tatives of City Discuss Condi
tions Meet Again
Next Monday
The city council as a committee of
the whole and Franklin T. Griffith,
general counsel and F. D. Hunt, traf
fic manager of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, considered
a proposed freight franchise for the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company Monday evening. It was de
cided that .the company provide a
freight yard and that the hours for
operating freight cars in the city be
from 10 P. M. to 7 A. M. An adjourn
ment was taken until next Monday
night.
Mayor Dimick called the meeting
to order at 8 o'clock, the following
councilmen being present: Meyer,
Horton, Pope, Tooze, Albright, Hol
man and Roake. Copies of the fran
chise as prepared by City Recorder
Stipp as suggested at the last meet
ing were furnished the members. Up
on motion of Mr. Tooze it was decid
ed to consider the franchise by sec
tions. The first contention was over a
common user's clause in section 1. J
nyr- at -
mi. vxiimui eaiu me company was op
posed to the provision. He declared
that the railway commission could
compel the company to allow other
railways to ise the line if it believed
it necessary. The attorney said that
the company he represented would
handle the freight of any oeher com
pany for a reasonable charge. A mo
tion of Mr. Holman that the common
user clause be eliminated was passed.
It was decided that the company not
be allowed to install any turnouts to
be used for freight purposes unless
provided for by ordinances.
Mr. Tooze, insisted that the fran
chise provide that the company have
a freight yard in the vicinity of Four
teenth Sereet. He declared that the
business justified the company hav
ing a yard and that it would be as ad-!
vantageous to the company as to the
city. He said the tracks of the Clack
amas Southern in connection with the
unloading of freight cars on Main
Street would cause too' much conges
tion and that a yard should be provid
ed before the tracks of the railway are
laid.-
Mr. Griffithannounced that the com
pany would provide the yard when the
business justified such action. He
said the question was not for the coun
cil to decide, but was for the railroad
commission to decide. He said the
commission had acted upon such ques
tions in several instances and that
the work was in line with its duty.
Mr. Tooze insisted that it was the
duty of the council to demand that the
yard be provided. He said that even
if the matter was within the province
of the commission the council should
doubly safeguard the "rights of the peo
ple.
Frank Busch said thaf farmers ship
ped their produce from Canby or
Clackamas station because there were
better freight accommodations. He
thought if a freight yard were estab
lished here- fhe farmers would ship
their produce from here."
A motion by Mr.' Holman that sec
tion 7 of the charter providing that
the company furnish a suitable ware
house for freight and express business
amended by Mr. Tooze to provide a
freight yard anywhere off Main Street,
in the city, was passed by a unani
mous vote It was also provided that
the exact location of the switches and
tracks be subject to the approval of
the council. The hours for operating
freight trains at night were fixed
from 10 P. M. until 7 A. M.

LIVE WIRES BELIEVE PROPOSI
TION WILL WIN OUT AT DE
CEMBER ELECTION
WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO FAVOR IT
Scheme Lost Time' Because of it Be
: . ing Connected on Ballot With
Dock and Play-
!' - Ground
Determined that the proposition for
the erection of an elevator at the bluff
shall carry at the election December
2, the Live Wires, wTio have made a
; fight for it, will do everything in their
power to win the public to the plan
before the election. The fact that 'the
women are, to vote at the municipal
election, it is believed, insures the ap
proval of the measure. It is confi'dent
ly believed it would have been passed
last July but for the fact- it was
connected on the ballot with proposi
ions for a public playground and a
public dock. Many persons who fav
ored the elevator did not favor the
dock ocplayground.
i That the elevator would be of great
advantage fo the city, is generally
agreed. It is planned to have it own
ed and maintained by the city and
for it to be free to the public. The lo-
; cation favored by the Live Wires is
on Seventh Street near the Southern
Pacific Station. It is contended that
the only possible disadvantage to liv
ing on the hill is the long flight of
steps residents of that section have to
climb and descend when having bus
iness in the downtown section of the
city. With an elevator the steps
would be used but little, and there is
little question that property on the
hill would be in greater demand. If
would also aid the business in the
downtown section, for many persons
would come downtown more frequent
ly if it were not for the long climb.
The Live Wires are . unanimous in
! their support of the project and it has
the support of a majority ot the mem
bers of the Commercial Club. W. L.
Mulvey, one of the public-spirited cit
izens, instrumental in having the prop
osition acted upon at the coming elect
ion, said Monday that he was confi
dent it would be approved by the
electorate and that the elevator would
be in operation within a year.

TACKED RECENTLY IDENTI
FIES MAN AS ASSAILANT
FAINTS WHEN SHE SEES SUSPECT
"Oh, Those Eyes, That Hat," She Cries
When Accused Man Is Brought
"Before Her in Portland
Jail
Walter Brennar, arrested in Port
land as an accomplice of Thomas
O'Brien, who" was sentenced to serve
a life term in the penitentiary for
holding "up a street car and robbing
it, was identified in Portland Monday
afternoon by Miss Helen Smith, of
Canemah, as the man who attacked
her at her home several evenings ago.
The young woman, who was alone at
her home, was playing a piano, when
she heard someone knocking at a
door leading into the parlor. As she
opened the door the man entered the
room and knocked her down. He took
several rings from her fingers, a brace
let which she wore, and all the
silve.rware in the house. Miss
Smith regained consciousness in
about half an hour and went to
a neighbor s. Sheriff Mass was call
ed and made a thorough search for the
man, wno miss smitn saia was tail
and wore a black hat and a black shirt.
Sheriff Mass, hearing that Brennar
had sold some jewelry, went to Port- .
land Sunday afternoon, accompanied
by Miss Dorothy Rackel, who lives in
Canemah. A man answering the' de
scrintion of the man who had attack
ed Miss Smith, came to her home uiat
evening and asked for food. Mrs.
Rackel when looking at the suspect,
doijI nVm tVinun-ht Via nmo t V tvi n n T'V f
had applied for something to eat at
her home. Sheriff Mass, Miss Helen
Smith, and her mother, Mrs. Peter
Smith, went to the county jail in Port- -land
Monday afternoon. Miss Smith
was seated in a corridor of the jail,
and the suspect was told to put on
his coat and hat and go into the cor
ridor. Miss Smith expected that she
would be brought to the man's cell,
and there see whether he was the man
who had attacked her. Brennar did
not know why he was sent to the cor
ridor, and. stood among a number of
trustees and other men. He was roll
ing a cigarette, standing in such a
position as to give Miss Smith onfya
side view of him. She watched him ,
closely, though her mother did not
seem to notice him. Brennar turned
around, giving Miss Smith a full view
of his face. The moment she looked
at him, she fainted.
"Oh, those eyes, that hat," she cried.
After a short time she became com
posed, and then said, "That's the man,
or his brother".
Sheriff Mass said Monday evening
that he felt that it was a positive iden
tification, as the gilr had not been told
that Brennar was to be brought in -her
presence, she being under the im
pression that she was to be taken to
his cell.
