A daylight burglar visited the residence of County Commissioner V. L. IUrhtner, at Anabel Station. Tuesday afternoon. nnd after effecting entrance to the house by breaking the bolt on the back door, stole J7S in coin .and several articles of Jewelry of little real value, although treasured highly as keepsakes. The burglary was committed between 2:30 and 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Lightner immediately Investigated and found that the money was missing, as well as some Jewelry .belonging to the romen. He is of the opinion that the deed wae committed by some one famil iar with the premiws, for his pet collie dog, a very friendly animal, was found to have been locked In the cellar by the burglar. The dog makes friends easily and It Is presumed that the burglar was not unfamiliar to the animal, which ren dered It possible for him to entice the collie Into the cellar and lock the door.

Cannon has made it as plain as Dossible without a direct statement of his nut-nose, that- he. If re-elected Sneaker of the National House of Rep iresentatl-es. would work In harmony with th Renuhllean Administration. It has been reported and denied that Mr. Taft. in Virginia Hot Springs, whilo having no intention of throwing any ad ministrative influence into any contest which might be made over the House organization, was not "wholly convinced that an organisation with Mr, Cannon at its head would be entirely friendly to White House policies. FVil lowed Hoosevclfs Lead. . Mr. Cannon said that ho hud fol lowed the lead of the President, to whom he attributed the policy of not re vising ;he tariff until after the gen eral election. '"Any change In the revenue laws of the country of necessity is followed by a depression of business," Mr. Cannon said. "Three vears ago I followed the lead of Theodore Roosevelt, who de rlared that there should be no revision of the revenue laws which mejins the tariff until aftor the next general elec tion. His policy was not to chango ex isting conditions before then. The Republican platform, on which the National contest has been won. says revise the tariff.'

Kf forts, on the part of the leaders of the Houso or ganization to pledge votes for the re election of Joseph G.

TACOMA, Nov. 24. Frustrated in their attempt te hold up Charles Blomberg, a bartender In a C-street saloon at 8 o'clock tonight. William Brown and J. Baron, two young highwaymen heavily armed, wfre arrested by Patrol man Swan Nelson, and when searched at the pelice station, were identified as the men who held up and robbed the conductor and ' molorman of a P-street car last Saturday night. ITpon tile persons of the highwaymen were found the two watches and two revolvers they had taken from the streetcar men. Tho robhers have con fessed to the police that thy not only held up the P-street car men, but that before coming to Tacoma they neid up ond robbed the crews of two Portland streetcars Both men were a good deal under the Influence of liquor when taken by the patrolman. Blomberg. when Baron stuck tho gun In the bartender's face, dodged Into the saloon office, returning with his revolver. This display of nerve unnerved the high waymen, and while he had the men- at bay a patron rushed to the street and summoned Patrolman Nelson. Both rob bers put up a fight in the Jailer's office. Brown attempting to get possession of one of the weapons taken from him. but was knocked senseless by Captain Fitz gerald. These two men taken in Tacoma are thought to be the same men who recent ly held up the crews of a Brooklyn car and an 3 car In this city. In each case but a comparatively small amount of money was taken. There have been no streetcar holdups in Portland for several clays, confirming the belief that the two men left town. Tho capture of tne two In Tacoma fits In with the theory of the local police. EULOGIZE DEAD PATRIOTS Irish-Americans Have Entertain ment With Music and Addresses.
