Daring Robbery at

Pursued-by, Citizens to Woods
Where Tracy Hid.
CHASE ENDS AT TIMBER
Farmers Arc Not AVilling to Hunt
Around in Brush for Armed
Men With Their Loot
of $3000.
"WOODBURN, Or., May 3. (Special.)
Two masked robbers held up Assist
ant Cashier Tracy Poorman this after
noon, siezed nearly $3000 from the
counter, ran two miles across the open
fields and safely gained a hiding: place
in the 'dense timber along the banks
of Pudding River. Twenty men chased
the robbers" across the fields, but at
too great a distance to shoot them
with the revolvers at hand, half a hun
dred militiamen and citizens, scoured
the country later in the afternoon, but
the men have not been found, and the
chances seem more than even for them
to complete their escape.
The daring robbery occurred shortly
before 2 o'clock this afternoon. J. M.
Poo'mnn, cashier of th bank, was in
Portland. There were in the bank at
the time Tracy Poorman, assistant
casnler; Miss Gertrude Eddy, a daugh
ter of B. I j. Eddy, of Tillamook, the
bookkeeper, and Don Coles, a tele
phone 'boy for the Hurley-Moores Drug
Store.
Finds It Xo Joke.
Coles hay just entered with a check,
-which was for a small sum, and .Poor
man held up a bundle of crisp, new
bills, asking. 'How would you like to
brave these?" At that Instant two
men entered with revolvers pointing
Ht Poorman's head, and commanded.
"Hands up!" Poorman started to laugh
at what-he considered a joke, but when
he paw that one man wore a handker
chief over the lower part of his face
and the other man wore goggles, he
threw up his hands, as did the others
In th bank.
One robber controlled the situation
with two leveled Colt's revolvers while
the other went behind the counter and
scraped all the loose money into his
pockets and a small sack. No attempt
was made to get at the vault, which
vh.3 locked. The man with the money
then went out the front door, and
when he was half way across the street
his companion backed out, and tho two
men ran southeast across Front street.
Foornmn Forgets His Klfle.
A good rifle lay behind the counter,
but Poorman was "rattled." He ran
to the door and saw the fleeing rob
bers, and then to tho telephone to call
assistance. Men passing on the street
quickly understood what had happened
and started in pursuit) The robbers
had gained the shelter of buildings on
the east side of the railroad track,
however, and before the pursuers got
around these buildings the fugitives
were out of range.
The chas was led across an open field
and over fences to the county road, a
mile from town, and then through the
Otjen farm. As tho robbers passed B.
Otjen. plowing in his Held, they hastily
remarked:
"Toll those bankers If they come
near us we will shcot the stuffing out of
them."
Iost In Dense Woods.
Half a mile further on they passed Miss
Mary Hirshbcrgcr, but said nothing to
her. Soon they were lost in the heavy
timber and brush along Pudding River In
exactly the same region where Traoy and
Merrill found safe refuge during their
remarkable flight threo years ago.
A posse was at onco formed and the
roads and fields bordering tho timber
were searched. Tho posso was not well
organized, however, and no thorough
pearch was made of the timber. Many
hoys were among the searchers and. there
was promiscuous firing of guns that led
to confusion.
"Word was sent to Sheriff Culver, at
Salem, and he and Deputy Minto left at
once for the scene, but they could do little
more than locate ho timber In which the
men wero supposed to be hiding, before it
became dark. The crowd of searchers
was so disorganized that it was Impos
sible to make a good search of the tim
ber. Decline to Beat the Brush.
Marshal Cornelius, of Salem, also came.
He offered to lead a number of farmers
into the timber late this afternoon, but
for -various reasons they declined to go.
The timber is so dense that a searcher
"would scarcely find a man hidden a dozen
feet away.
It is evident that the men who com
mitted the robbers' had carefully planned
their work. Mr. Otjen recognized them
as men who ate dinner at his house yes
terday. According to some stories the
men have been in this vicinity several
days. These men, with two others, were
seen around the freight yards this' fore
noon. Th two men who did not par
ticipate In tho robbery were seen board
ing the brakebeam of the northbound
overland this evening, but It did not occur
to bystanders to take them into custody.
During the chase-across the fields, many
shots were exchanged, but no harm was
done, except xhat just before the men
disappeared In the woods one of them
fired a shot that pierced the ear of a
horse owned by a local liveryman. The
team had been driven around by the road
but was not of much service In chasing
men who ran across fields.
The robbers wero seen by a -sufficient
number of persons to make Identification
eaiy if they should be captured.
The robbers are described as being of
medium height, weight about 173 pounds,
one of light complexion and slightly
stooped; the other rather dark, and hav
ing a bald spot on the back of his head.
Both wero smooth shaven. They wore
blue overalls and other clothes of the
kind usually worn by working men.
J. M. Poorman said this evening that
his loss is fully covered by insurance.
Tho Insurance company has a PInkerton
man here working on the case and he and
the Sheriff will try to: organize a posse
for effective work tomorrow morning.
Marshal Roy Blanche, of Gervals. ar
rested two men at that place this after
noon upon Information from Woodburn,
but the men arc apparently not the
right persons. One is an elderly man
and the other a young man of 20 years.
They left Woodburn just after the rob
bery occurred and that led to their ar
rest. The younger man gives the name
o! R L. Stanley, and says he has a
brother, M. L,. Stanley, working in the
Newport restaurant In Portland.

Rich Farming Valley Being Devas
tated Hoi brook Moves to the
Hills and Ships Goods.
HOL.BROOK. Ariz., May 3. The big
dam at St. Johns, Ariz., 70 miles south
east of this place, broke yesterday and
a great flood of water is rushing down
the valley toward Holbrook. Much dam
age Is being done to the rich farming
valley through which the flood is raging.
The flood Is expected to reach Holbrook
within a fwe hours and a portion of the
town will undoubtedly be submerged.
Merchandise, damageable railroad mate
rial and other portable property Is- being
conveyed to high ground beyond the
reach of the waters-. The population of
this town has already moved to the high
surrounding hills and will be safe from
the flood. Only meager information has
reached here so far and no news, as yet
of any loss of life.
Another dam at Woodruff, between St.
Johns and ' Holbrook. Is in the path of
tho flood waters and will be carried
away, adding to the volume of water.
Tho populace of this city Is greatly ex
cited and the worst Is feared. The busi
ness section of Holbrook is on low
ground and. will undoubtedly be covered
by the flood.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon a special
train over the Santa Fe arrived here with
43 empty box-cars, in which are being
loaded great quantities of merchandise
and other movable property. The train
when loaded will be run to Aztec, the
next station on the Santa Fe, where It
will be safe from the flood.
Whole Population Leaves Town.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., May- 3. Hol
brook Is deserted tonight, the inhabi

higher ground surrounding the town.
The Western Union reported tonight
that the town had been abandoned.
No news of conditions above Hol
brook, from which direction the floods
are coming, has been received.
GOING TO RELIEVE FIALA
Chump Sent hy Zlcgler in Search of
Arctic Explorer.
NEW YORK. May 3. Another attempt
to find Anthony Fiala, the Brooklyn ex
plorer, and the Arctic exploring expedi
tion backed by William Zleglcr, began to
day, when William R. Champ sailed for
Liverpool on the steamer Teutonic to
head a relief expedition on the ship
Terra Nova, which is awaiting him in
London. Mr. Champ's instructions from
Mr. Zlcgler are said to be to remain In
the North until he has found Fiala or
his party.
Fiala went in search of the North Pole
on the ship America in 1303 and attempted
to penetrate the Arctic regions by way
of Franz Josefland. An attempt to relievo
him was made last Summer, but it
failed.
Mr. Champ will sail for Tromsoe. Nor
way, on the Terra Nova about June 1.
and attempt to find a way through the
Ice to Franz Josefland. If the ice Is Ira
passable ho will go to Nova Zembla for
dogs and make an attempt to proceed
over the Ice, allowing the Terra Nova
to bo frozen into the ice until next sea
son. Mr. Champ was accompanied on the
Teutonic today by Dr. Oliver L. Fasslg,
of Johns Hopkins University, a geogra
pher, who will sail on an independent
exploring expedition on the Bclgica to
the east coast of Greenland, where at
Shannon Islands caches of food will be
established for Flala, In the belief that
he may return from the Arctic by that
route.
FARMER WILSON MAY WED
Humor Persists Despite Denials of
Secretary's Family.
TRAER. la.. May 3. (Special.) The
rumor was circulated here today to the
effect that Secretary James Wilson, of the
Department of Agriculture, was to re
marry in June, the object of his choice
presumed to be a young woman employed
as clerk in one of the departments at
Washington. This Is a reiteration of the
rumor Industriously circulated three
months ago. No details are to be had
and no one here gives the story credence.
Mr. Wilson's sisters and other relatives
In Traer say that the story is without
foundation. The young womas in . the

DISHONEST
Merrill Declares Votes of Mem
bers Have Often Been
Bought.
ZIMMERMAN-DISPUTES HIM
French Chamber of Deputies Scene
Narrowly Averted in Council
Chamber Telephone Fran
chise Lost by a Vote.
"This is .the rottcnest Council Tort
land ever had."
When Fred T. Merrill sprung this on
the'Clty Council, assembled in all state
yesterday afternoon, he became the ob
ject of all eyes, and Mayor Williams
from his high seat called for order.
President Louis Zimmerman, of the
Council, immediately after the meeting
was called, rose to his feet and said
that a certain member of the Council
had made remarks upon the street ac
cusing members of accepting bribes,
and had spread abroad the impression
that the body was one of grafters.
"I see he is not present," said Mr.
Zimmerman. Just then Merrill entered
the dooi "Here he is, though. Let
him state who of us has accepted
bribes, and not go around giving us
all a bad name. Make you charges
no-v!'f
"This is no grand jury," answered
MerrilL
"You have made public statements
regarding graft In the Council and Ex
ecutive Board," continued Mr. Zimmer
man. "Prove It."
"Am I on trial?" asked MerrilL "It
you want to hear my testimony on this
point, take me before the grand jury
and you will hear."
Mayor Ends Dispute.
By this time the Mayor had cut off
the dispute, which was rapidly waxing
hotter, both men speaking at once, and
a French Chamber of Deputies scene
was averted. Mr. Zimmerman remained
very warm all the afternoon, saying
after the meeting was over that in the
three years during which he had been
President of the Council he had not
known of any corruption. His remarks
about Merrill were far from compll-'
montary.
Merrill, however, was not in the leart
abashed by the sour looks cast upon
him, and after sitting for a good two
hours with little to say, broke out
again Just before the automatic tele
phone franchise had failed to pass. Mr.
Sharkey, in a 20-minute speech, had
just shown himself an arsient advocate
of the new telephone system.
"1 am not going to peddle any hot
nlr, like Mr. Sharkey," said Merrill,
"but it has been insinuated that the
Pacific States Telephone Company has
bought up the members of the Council
who will not vote for the new system.
The only buying that I know -of was
by F. H. Stow, of the new company,
who tried to buy me. He must have
bought Sharkey. by the .way he talks."
Shcrrctt jumped to his feet at this
moment, and, glaring at Sharkey as If
that gentleman were personally re
sponsible for the vghole insult, ejacu
lated a few words about Stow trying
to buy him too. The Mayor again
brought his official presence to bear,
and the quarrel was again averted.
Declares Graft Exists.
Merrill said after the meeting that
whatever he had said On the streets
about corruption in tho Council wad
based on the fact that men had often
approached him, telling of other Coun
cilmcn they had bought, and telling
aim that his vote would be worth pur
chasing. "I have told of such incidents," he
said, "and I feel at liberty to speak of
them."
F. 11. Stiw was asked last night re
garding thi alleged attempt at bribery
of Merrill and. denied it. He told of an
Incident, however, which he believed
to be the basis of Merrill's accusation.
T had understood," said Stow, "that
Merrill was wavering between receiving
the support of the moneyed classes in his
candidacy for Mayor and tho labor vote.
Now we have always considered that our
franchise for a telephone was a popular
measure and I neer could understand
why Merrill with his political aspirations
opposed It- So I called on him and said
to him that if he would vote for the tele
phone franchise that I would spread the
word down tho line among labor unions
and it would bring him many votes. That
is all the excuse ho can give for saying
that I attempted to bribe him."
Telephone Franchise Lost.
The fireworks of tho Council, meeting
were confined to the incidents mentioned.
The telephone franchise was lost by one
vote, as anticipated. Dr. Sandford Whit
ing, the sixth member of the Council vot
ing for Its passage, was present, but
neither Rumclln, Sherrctt, Merrill nor
Bcntley could be Induced to change their
negative vote. The telephone peoplo had
a strong advocate in Captain D. E.
Buchanan, who bad recently made a Jour
ney to Los Angeles and while there had
investigated the automatic system and
lias, according to his .report made yester
day, found the system a superior one.
There was some quibble over the $23,000
check made to tho city as a forfeiture in
case the company did not carry out its
franchise If granted. Mr. Zimmerman de
claring that the Merchant's National
Bank was the place to leave It and that it
should be deposited with the City Treas
urer. But it was' decided that tho city
was not authorized to act as a depository.
Councilman Sharkey made a vigorous ap
peal for its passage also, but when it was
put to a vote, the four opposing members
of the Council maintained their positions.
Sharkey, In speaking of the proposed
franchise, spoke of certain other persons.
Otto Olsten and Allen Brown, who were
about to ask for a franchise for a similar
system, and showed telegrams from the
Automatic Electric Company In Chicago,
which gave the impression that these per
sons were not responsible and that they
could not get the necessary equipment for
the system if they wero given a franchise.
The two men afterwards corrected the
impression left by Councilman Sharkey.
They did not care to have it go abroad
that they were Irresponsible, saying that
If they got the franchise they would get
the equipment. They said they came here
from tho East about a week ago to apply
for a franchise and found they were fore
stalled, so decided to await the fortune of
the present proposed franchise, believing
that it would not be granted. They said
they were prepared to make the city a.
better offer than the Callfornja, company.
They also claimed to be backed by strong
Eastern capitalists. Olsten is a mining
promoter with an office at Eugene.
Merrill broke out a third time regarding
the telephone franchise, giving as his rea
son for voting against it that the com
pany with its offer of 1 per cent of the
gross earnings of the company as a price
for the franchise was not paying enough.
Other members opposing the measure held
their peace as to tbeir reasons.

GOVERNOR IS 'OX-COMMlTTAL,
SPRINGFIELD. 111., May 3.-A dele
gation representing the Illinois and
Chicago Federations of Labor called on
Governor Deneen this afternoon to place
before him a copy of the resolutions
cdonted by the Chicago Federation of
Labor last Sunday requesting the Gov
ernor not to send troops to Chicago un
til he had personally Investigated the
conditions.
Governor Deneen did not Indicate what
course he would pursue if & request to
eend troopn to Chicago should be made.
Xo representative of the Employers?
Association has yet called on the Gov
ernor with reference to the strike.
CHICAGO. May 3. Rioting in the
streets today was so prolonged and of so
tierce a character that many of the lead
ing business men have concluded that
there will be neither peace In the city
nor safety for outside Interests until the
state militia has been called out to re
store order. A committee of members
of the Employers' Association left for
Springfield today to confer with Governor
Deneen and to request him to give orders
to the state troops. The labor unions
have an extensive lobby at the state
capital and it is likely that they will also
be heard before any action Is taken by
tbe Governor. Chief of Police O'Xell
says he Is confident that he has control
of the situation and can keep peace In the
city with the Mayor's support, who has
done all in his power to adjust the state
of affairs.
Dunne Wants Xo Troops..
Mayor Duhne-'was emphatic In his dec
laration tonight that he will not acquiesce
In any call for outside assistance In pre
serving order, and intimated that: he will
strongly oppose any move to. . secure,
armed Intervention.
"We have by no means reached the
limit of reserve." the Mayor declared to
night. "I am empowered to call on every
able-bodied citizen over the ago of IS
years. "Of course, I could not call on the
striker or the strikebreaker or their
sympathizers, but J would have to draw
upon the citizens of good character from
the general public."
Armed Guards on Wagons.
Despite the orders of Mayor Dunne and
the prohibition of the City Council, many
of tho wagons of the concerns against
which strikes were declared, were
handled today by men' armed with rifles
and shotguns. The first rifle-shot fired
during the strike went whizzing through
a crowded thoroughfare today. The shot
was tired by a guard on a wagon of the
United States Express Company, while it
was passing through a crowd of strike
sympathizers at the Intersection of State
and Randolph streets. In driving past the
corner, the driver of the wagon reined
his horses suddenly. A guard within the
wagon pushed his head Instantly from
the wagon, and seeing a streetcar con
ductor stopping as though to .throw a
missile, pulled the trigger without the
slightest hestltatlon. Xo one was hit
and it developed later that the conductor
who narrowly escaped 'death, was intent
on his legitimate work of throwing a
switch.
The request of the employers, made to
day4 that the police be allowed to ride
on their wagons, was declined by the
Chief, of Police. Positive orders were
published that under no circumstances
must the officers mount the wagons, and
they will march abreast of the- wagons.
The order, the Chief of Police explained,
was simply intended to ward oft criticism.
While the officers might do just as good
work while riding on the wagons, the
Chief declared he did not Intend to have
it said of the department that It was
showing partiality or guarding private
property especially.
Express "Wagons With Guns Arc Snfe
One hundred and fifty wagons of the
seven express companies went to and
fro across the city today. In many In
stances completely 'unguarded and at no
tlmo under the supervision of more than
cne or two policemen. Every wagon car
ried a guard, some of whom were armed
with Winchesters, and others carried
hes-vy double-barreled shotguns. The
guns were In plain evidence throughout
the day and no attempt was made to in
terfere with any of the express wagons.
The trucks of the Scott Transfer Com
pany were guarded In tho same manner.
Men carrying rifles were on every wagon
and around their waists were belts loaded
with cartridges. The company trans
acted its business as though there had
been no strike.
An accession to the ranks of the team
sters was made when a strike was re
clared against the coal firm of Crerar
Cllnch & Co. This concern employs sev
eral hundred men and delivers coal to a
large number of the most prominent of
the buildings In the city. One of Its
employes was discharged-for refusing to
make deliveries and the rest walked out
at once.
The, gain for the Employers Aseociatioir
"was made Tthtn the members of the Hay
& Grain Dealers Aseeciatiea, whleh
ploys 1200 men, declared that deliveries
would be made to any place in the city,
irrespective or strike conditions. If drivers
refuse they will be discharged.
Savagery on the Streets.
The mobs that filled the streets In the
business section today were larger and
uglier than yesterday. There was fight
ing in all sections of the down-town dis
tricts throughout the day, and over a
dozen times the police were compelled to
use their clubs, and the wagon guards,
who were armed with heavy canes, swung
them whenever they were attacked or
thought an assault was about to be made.
In many cases these ' guards wero not
careful whom they hit and a number of
persons were knocued down simply be
cause they happened to be tho nearest
man to a stalwart guard carrying a
hickory club. This was the case par
ticularly in a fight near the Majestic
Hotel, when a number of people who had
Just emerged from the place were charged
upon by private detectives in charge of
a number of coal wagons and badly
beaten.
On the other hand, the strikers and
their friends wero equally indiscriminate
in assaulting people. In a number of in
stances mobs boarded street-cars and
wantonly attacked those riding in them,
giving as a reason later that they were
strike-breakers, when In fact they had
nothing whatever to do with the trouble.
Edward Jamison and Edward Boswell,
the latter a colored medical student, were
two sufferers in this direction. The mob
that boarded a State-street car on which
they were riding, dragged them oft and
beat them unmercifully. Walter Norton,
another colored man, whllo passing Van
Buren and Market streets, was pro
claimed to be a strike-breaker and beaten
almost to death.
Score of Injured In Hospitals.
Up to 7 o'clock tonight a score of men
bad been taken to hospitals. One of
these, T. S. Carlson, a superintendent
employed by Montgomery Ward & Co.,
may die. Carlson is in charge of the
firm's auto trucks and was riding on the
first of a caravan of six machines, which
was passing the teamsters' headquarters
at 201 Madison street. While his at
tention was occupied by some of the ma
chinery on one side of the auto truck,
he wa3 struck by a brick hurled from the
window of the teamsters headquarters.
A large gash was -cut in the side of his
head and he sustained a violent concus
sion of the brain. It is expected that
his injuries will prove fatal.
The injured are:
Injured In Day's Fighting.
W. Jamison, attacked by strikers while rid
ing on streetcar and badly beaten; Edward
Boswell. attacked and beaten at the same
time as Jamison; Walter Schults. beaten in

Besides those named above, fully twice
as many were Injured in the various
fights of the day and whose names could

HUGE CROWD AT COURT
Accused Actress Faints on Hearing
of Disagreement, Having Been
Brought From Bed to Hear
Verdict or Jury.
NEW YORK. May 4. Having failed to
reach a -crdlct and declaring that it was
hopelessly disagreed, the jury in tho Nan
Patterson case waa formally discharged
at 2:20 o'clock this morning.
At 1:30 o'clock this morning the jury
was called into the courtroom by Re
corder Goff. When the 12 men were In
their places and tho court officials had
all arrived, the Reorder asked why the
defendant had not been brought into
court. A deputy sheriff replledthat she
had been feeling ill and had retired, but
was then being dressed. After a wait of
12 minutes Miss Patterson appeared, look
ing pale and In a highly nervous state.
"Gentlemen, have you been able to
reach an agreement," asked the Recorder
of the jury.
"Xo, sir," replied the foreman.
"Is there any question of law or evi
dence in which I can instruct you? Is
there any way in which the court can
help you?"
The foreman looked for an instant at
his fellow members of the jury, then
turned to the Recorder and said:
"Xo, sir; I don't believe you can help
us."
"Then you will retire to reconsider the
matter."
The jury filed out and the courtroom
was cleared. Recorder Goft remained in
hi3 chamber ready to receive a verdict if
rendered or to further instruct the jury.
Miss- Patterson collapsed on the jury's
announcement and fainted dead away.
She was assisted from the courtroom by
one of her counsel and revived in an
ante-room. .
Xo Hope of Agreement.
On the second return of the jury, Re
corder Goff made a personal appeal to
the foreman to endeavor again to reach
a verdict. The foreman entered tho jury
box and polled the Jurors In open court,
but they were not able to agree. The
Recorder then asked them again If thero
was not some point In law or something
he could do by which they might be able
to reach a verdict, but the jurors re
mained steadfast and finally declared
their verdict a disagreement.
Recorder Goff, before dismissing the
jurors, cautioned them not to tell now
they stood. It Is understood that a ma
jority of the jurors was for acquittal,
but in what proportion they stood can
not be ascertained.
Future procedure in the case is uncer
tain. It has been intimated by the Dis
trict Attorney's office that the people
probably would not attempt another
trial. Should this be the case, Miss Pat
terson would be released either on nomi
nal ball or under her own recognizance
and the Indictment eventually be
quashed.
Warden Flynn. of the Tombs prison,
said that Miss Patterson was a wonder
fully composed girl. The warden's com
ment was made after Miss Patterson had
risen early and eaten breakfast with her
sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith. She
seemed in a cheerful frame of mind, and
was ready to go to the courtroom soma
time before she was called for.
Courthouse and Streets Jammed.
Remarkable scenes were witnessed
around the Criminal Court building.
Early In the day crowds began to gather,
and hours beforo. the time for the
opening of court the corridors were filled
with men and women, hoping to break
through the cordon of guards around tho
courtroom doors on the first rush. Even
in the streets around the building scores
of persons stood waiUng.
On the Tombs prison side the street
spanned by the Bridge of Sighs1 was
Jammed with people waiting a chance for
one fleeting glance at the prisoner as she
passed the little, barred, half-open win
dow which overlooks the street. As tho
hour for the opening of court approached
the regular force of uniformed guard3
In the building was quadrupled, every
stairway was guarded, and an officer
stood outside every elevator landing.
The Patterson trial is not tho only case
being heard on the third floor of the big
building, however, and hundreds of per
sons, taking advantage of ihis, gained
temporary admittance, to the upper
floors. Time after time the corridors were
cleared and the crowds streamed out to
the streets, only to return to make other
attempts, most of them fruitless, to' gala
admittance Into the courtroom.
Practically every seat in the body of
the courtroom had been spoken, for In
advance, and It itemed as if every fa
vored one used the privilege accorded, as
there was hardly an inch of room to
spare when the prisoner came In and
took her place behind her tfbungel.
Jury Cautioned ' oj Court.
In beginning his charge to the jury.
Recorder Goff said:
This case baa nothing extraordinary in It.-
