BEAR DELAYS CARS

SAILORS ALARM -POLICE
Weary Citizens Compelled to. WIk
Home While Detailed Officers
Capture the Animal on
Telegraph Pole.
'"'Escaping from its cage on the Italian
cruiser Pupils, now In the' harbor, a
pet bear, mascot of the warship, leaped
overboard Saturday night, swam ashore
and set Itself up In business at Crosby
etreet and HoIIaday avenue.
The bear is only a cub. but before be
ing captured succeeded In viciously biting-
Motorman Hicks, of a Williams-avenue
car. on the hRnd and leg.- In com
pletely tying up streetcar operations in
that part of the city and causing hun
dreds of persons to walk home because of
the delayed cars. Motorman Hicks Anally
lassoed the animal and took it to hfs
home. 35 "West Prescott street. Early
yesterday morning the bear's absence
from the warship was discovered and a
delegation of excited Italian sailors called
at police headquarters for aid in locating
their pet. They were directed to the
home of Motorman Hicks.
The bear was presented to the crew
of the cruiser two weeks ago. It has evi
dently liked the place, for it has shown
no disposition to escape, but te said to
possess a remarkably well-developed de
sire to investigate everything in sight.
Saturday night the animal escaped from
its cage and began an excursion of the
upper deck. In climbing about, it must
have fallen overboard and once in the
water the primeval instinct to free itself
started him towards the shore, intui
tively. Reaching the bank, bruin shook the
water from his shaggy sides. then
strolled lehmrely" east on Holladay ave
nue. Near Crosby street he entered a
vacant lot on which are several trees
and some underbrush. It was midnight
and dark. The place looked good and
as he loitered there, two young men,
clerks, it Is said. In a down-town store,
approached, on their way home.
"Woof," said the bear, aa he stalked
good-naturedly out of the underbrush
towards the young men,' evidently think
ing they were his friends from - the
cruiser. The young men looked, and po
lice officers declared yesterday that latest
reports were to the effect that after
passing St. John, they were aeen going
in the direction of Seattle.
Bruin followed a short distance, but
discouraged at such a reception, paused
and started across the street. Reaching
the car tracks, he was attracted by a
brilliant light coming towards him and
sat' down. In the middle of the tracks.
The headlight of the car was full upon
him and Motorman Hicks brought the
car to a stop. In astonishment.
- Astonishment soon gave way to a de
sire to capture the animal, and, with a
number of passengers, the motorman at
tempted to lasso the bear. But the ani
mal objected, and to escape the colls of
the rope, ran up a 60-foot telephone pole.
Motorman Hicks climbed after him and
tried vainly to throw the rope about his
head.
Meanwhile, a detail of police officers
arrived and a long string of cars', hasten
ing on their last outward trip, was forced
to stand Idle on the tracks. Among the
officers who arrived on the scene were
Patrolmen Raney and Newell and sev
eral plain-clothes men. The Joined the
crowd which had congregated and gave
advice to the motorman as to how to
capture the bear. .
Motorman Hicks finally agreed that he
was unable to throw a rope over the
bear's head and. descending, secured a
torch with which to frighten the animal
from its lofty perch. As he again
climbed the pole with the torch In
his hand, bruin showed signs of nervous
ness. He was not afraid of the rope,
and snapped at It viciously.
As the motorman climbed higher and
closer to the bear, the light began to
have the desired effect. The bear wanted
to get down. Then a question arose In
the mind of the motorman and the crowd
s to whether the animal or the man
should have the right-of-way in descend
ing. The man decided In favor of the
bear.
Retreating precipitously, the motorman
waited at the foot of the pole until the
bear came down, then tried to tie the
rope around the animal's neck. He suc
ceeded, but not until the bear had
severely lacerated his hand and had bit
ten him In the leg.
The bear was then placed on board the
car and the congestion of traffic relieved.
Motorman Hicks took the bear home, but
detachment -of Italian sailors called
early yesterday rooming and the animal
was returned to the cruiser. ,
HARRIMAN LINE OFFICIALS
GUESTS AT UNIQUE DINNER
President Howard, of the Commonwealth Trust Company. Host at Ban
quet Made Notable by Numerous Attractive Features.
OXE of the most unique and elaborate
social . functions given In this city
during1 the Summer season was the
"Oregon dinner" in The Oaks grillroom,
at which only Oregon products occupied
places of honor on the menu. C. S.
Howard, president of ' the Common
wealth Trust Company of St. Louis, was
the host and the dinner was arranged as
the finale to a pleasure trip over the O.
W. P. lines, given by President JosselyrH
of the Portland Hallway, Light & Power
Company. The guesta were 60 officials of
the Harriman railway system, superin
tendents of motive power of the various
parts of the system, with their wives and
friends.
The. grillroom was embowered in foli
age, daintily sprinkled with the first
colorings of Autumn leaves, ferns and
Oregon grape. Garlands of vari-colored
electric lights were suspended over the
long table. The center piece was- a
miniature train of cars, with a looomo- '
tlve. electric-lighted, with the fitting
miniature accompaniments of block signal
stations, watch-towers, etc. , The center
of the table was loaded with Oregon
fruits, Oregon walnuts and everything
that tended to illustrate the wonderful
richness of the state's soil. The party,
which Included many Eastern people
who had never been in the Pacific North
west before, had for one of the appetizer
courses a plate of crawfish. In an ex
planatory preface to his guests, when this
course was brought forth, . "Common
wealth 9teel" Howard made a witty re
mark to the effect that 'the art of eating
crawfish consists In displaying the most
grace with the least grease."
Mr.. Howard is an enthusiastic admirer
of the state ajid It was - his own idea
to advertise Oregon by Impressing upon
the attention of his guests the fact that
about everything the heart could wish in
the way of variety at a feast came
from Oregon. The railway officials were
each presented with a souvenir menu of
the occasion, having inscribed the auto- i
graph of each guest present. It was as
follows:
