COP! BANK HOLDUP Three Yeggs Get Small Haul on East Side. LOOT ONLY CHICKEN-FEED iG moo ry-Store Robbed by Three Men in Melodramatic' Style, and Crooksi Get bnt 91.50 for Their Trouble. One dollar and a half was the sum total of the plunder secured by three bold bandits who held tip C. Hamilton and robbed his "Golden Rnle" confec tionery and grocery store, 314 East seventh street, soon arter's o ciock last night. One of the bandits wore a mask and was armed with a revolver, the other two being; unmasked and ap parently unarmed. Atred Mr. Hamilton wns In the little store alone at the time of the robbery. His son. daughter-in-law and tnree rrandchildren were In the living apart ments In the rear of the store. A lone young; man. apparently 25 or 26 years of me, medium build and rather shab by appearance, entered and wanted co tiny cixaretut papers. He was shown the papers and refused to buy; he then demanded five pennies for a nickel, and when the demand waa complied with made further excuses to remain in the store for several moments. After he had been there a brief time two other men. evidently confederates, one masked and one armed, suddenly threw open the front door. The armed man walked quickly toward the aged man. Throw up your bands, quick, he ordered. "This is a holdup." Til be if I do." replied the eld man., and he ran throuch a rear J Ooor. closing- It behind him and caning loudly to bis eon. The men quickly rifled a small box. containing about $1.60. which lay in plain view on the counter. Another similar box with money, and a cash drawer In the store, were not molested. Kmptvlng the contents of the single box into their hands, the three robbers hurried through the front door and es caped In the darkness. The old man and his son gave chase for a short distance, but the robbers quickly disappeared. The police de partment was notified, and every avail able detective was put on the ca8" All the patrolmen on the East Side were notified and provided with excel lent descriptions of the men. but up to a late hour last night ao arrests had been made. It 1 believed by the detectives that the crime was committed by the same three men who entered ,tlie. residence of Wenegal. the grocer, at East Kighth and Lincoln streets. Sunday night. The famllv was at church when the place was entered. The burglars found a small bank, containing 2 in change which had been saved by the children for Christmas, and extracted the money. BANK LOOT IS AT OGDEN the local department hearing oa the sub ject. Kvcry effort has been made, too, to preserve secrecy, although accurate 1TailB Wifro til" mi ivj j . .-. J The two JSrt) bills In the package found at Ogden afford the distinctive marks for identification. One of these, it has been found. I a gold certificate and the other legal tender. Two just such bills were stolen from the East Side Bank. Xlneteen $'.00 bills were likewise taken and the fact that there are 14 "bill of suc"h denomination in the Ogden package further established the source of t.ie money. Bank Keeks Return of Money. Negotiations were taken up yesterday forenoon for the return of tne money to Portland. H. H. Newhall. president of the Kast Side Hank, says he can Identify the two big bills and it is for that pur pose that the currency will be forwarded. In order to accomplish this "the police authorities found H necessary yesterday to wait upon Postmaster Mlnto and the local postal inspectors. Inasmuch as the loot has developed In the malls, the Gov ernment agent now enter actively upon the caw. Record of the Portland postofflce have Iwn gone through carefully to find any thing which might suggest that the money waa sent out from Portland before going to Salt Lake and thence to Osrden. One notation has been found of suspicious second-class package sent out the naxht after the holdup. Based on the Ogdcn developments, the nuthoritles now have two theories: one that the three men shipped the bulk of their money to L'tah and went there by indirect routes to spilt the small fortune they had stolen, the other that they dl v.rtrd the spoils In the city and separ ated. This Idea has been kept in mind In the examination into the postal records. It waj argued that one man might have started East by way of Ogden. while an other went north and another south. Just what the records have revealed to support this idea Is not disclosed, but it is regarded by many of the officers as being the most probable method of es cape. .Robber Believed to Bo Here. "I have no doubt but that at least two of the men got away by train, but I am positive that one of them Is right here in the city this minute." said a well-known official yesterday. "He Is checking up on what is being done by the authorities and any information he gets will be promptly sent out to the others." The shipping of a bundle of money from Salt lake is easily explained, the authorities say, and the explanation thrown further light on the craftiness of the men that must be dealt with In this difficult pursuit. Going out on one of the trains a day or two after the rob bery and taking bis part of the plun der along, the man who calls himself Charles Price sojourned at Salt Lake until the heat of chase was gone and then started either Coastward or on East. He shipped the currency to Og den. well knowing that a second-class package sent from Salt Lake to Ogden would never be investigated In connec tion with a remote bank robbery. The officers are divided as to whether be waa coming back to the Coast or proceeding East by way of the Union Pacific. Several take the stand that tne fellow would feci himself entirely free from suspicion, traveling in the di rection of the en me and must have In tended coming right on through wtien he left Salt Lake, traveling north and west to Ogden. Others Insist that the fellow was headed on East by easy stages and to substantiate their theory point to the fact of the t-'fiO bills, which could readily ba disposed of In the East and yet would excite Immediate sus picion if presented by an unknown per son west of the Rockies. Mope is no longer entertained that the claimant of the package of Ogden is going to put in a second appearance. Provided he received an equal third of the Joot. he must have close to 3000 in gold and silver with him and thus is amply provided with funds for traveling about from city to city, dodging the po lice and secret service men. I "That fellow's only mistake was in taking the name of Charles Price," said a well-known secret service man yester day. "He should have realised, pro vided of course that he is one of the fugitives, that the name is a very com mon one and that in sending a package ahead addressed to himself or an accom plice, there was every danger of some one of the same name receiving it at the postofflce. ' "But some kind of a slip was only to be expected. If that kind of peopl-J dldn"t make mistakes there wouldn't be any business for us fellows. I knew they would make a bitch and here It is. They will make another, and we ll get them. Those fellows will never get away." Says Ttobbers Stayed In Portland. "Because the correspondent who sent out the story of the finding of the $2400 In a second-class mail package In the Ogden postofflce Saturday night went oft at half cock, and did not wait long enough to connect that money with the East Side bank robbery, the chances , of the arrest of any of the three men con cerned In the looting being arrested hove lessened considerably." said another secret rfrvice man. who has been work ing on tlie case, last night. "L'p to the time that the story of the money in the second-class mail package was published, the three men most intimately concerned In the robbery were In this city. And so was the greater part of the money. But when the story first arpeared on Sunday morning, the three men at once left town: and took what part f the money they possessed with them. I know that this was so. for as late as Saturday I was in communication with one of the crowd- Sunday I could find none of the men. .and I have since been unable to locate them. The story in the paper showed ms why. -Mavbe this sounds like hot air to you. but I will show you why It is so. I was not working on the bank case in my official capacity. As soon as I read of the robbery I was morally certain of the Identity or the men who had pulled off the deal, because of other informa tion I had about them and their reasons for being in Portland. Later I was asked by the bank officials to handle the case, if I could; and I was urged particularly to get the return of the money, even if I had to let the men get away to do so. I got into communication with the men 1 was sure had pulled off the deal, and told them I had them dead to rights: and that if they would blow through with the money they could get out of town. Two Were Ready to Compromise. They denied all knowledge of the crime, naturally: but I told them things I knew about the case, together with other things I was able to reason out. from my knowledge of these men and their movements before the robbery. They were finally convinced that I 'had the goods- on them, and said they would talk matters over and let me know later. In the meantime I kept as close a watch on them as I could, though I was engaged on other work. We had several subsequent meetings, or rather I met their agent; and I always empha sized the fact that the only choice they had was either to return the money or spend a long term in Jail. Two of the men. I understood, were willing to come through on a compromise basis; but the third held out. This third man was holding off be cause he had already sent that second class mall package with the J2100 in it to Ogden. and he knew he could not come back with his share. 'While negotia tions were in this condition the accidental discovery of the money occurred, and that blew the whole thing up. The men left town at once, all of them, and now anybody who wants to take up the chase has got a more difficult task than before." - ' The secret service man making this statement is well known in local police circles, but asked that for personal and business reasons his name be withheld from publication. He declares that the package containing the money sent from Portland the day after the robbery, and that the fact that its contents were wrapped 1n a Salt Lake newspaper was merely an accident, or a blind in case the contents should have been discovered. The fact that so valuable a package was sent in such an open way, lie declared, showed the craft and cunning of the robber. The same secret service man also said that while the robbers were in this city thev lived at the best hotels here, two of them stopping for a time at the Portland. It waa there that he had his first inter view with the men he suspected. Thinks Highwaymen Went North. The report that these men went south after the robbery, and that one of them stopped In Roseburg nd left a trail of hundred-dollar bills. Is laughed at by the same detective. He says he believes the men all went northward on Sunday, crossed the Canadian line, and are now going East through the Dominion. He gives it as his opinion that one or more of the party will drop down from Canada at Wnnlpeg. and that all will eventually meet again either in Chicago or New York. He says the only three men who he has reason to believe were implicated in the robbery have worked together for some time, and that he believe they wtll stick together In the future, and that unless they are picked up by ac cident they will not be caught. The only chance he beUeves that the police and Plnkertona have now is that the man who- has thus lost the $24no may be unable to make the other two share his loss, and may "blow" on his com 'panlona as a result. If immunity is promised him. He does not believe this likely, though, as the men have worked together for years. Boy Who Protects Himself. Philadelphia Record. A business man whose office is near Tenth and Arch streets hired a new er rand boy last week. He was tired of hav ing gentle, meek boys who were always coming back to the office with bleeding noses and tales of how they had been attacked by other "fellows," so this time he picked out the huskiest and most pug nacious boy he could find. The first time the new bo v. went out with a letter to deliver he waa pounced upon by one of the numerous side street gangs of the neighborhood. He held his own and put the crowd to flight, but the letter be car ried was torn and mutiliated. "All right," said the bosa when the boy returned to the office with the remaining scraps of the letter. "We'll fix that." So he called a clerk and told lilm to have some har nessmaker make a waterproof, oilcloth bag and sew it tightly to a belt which could be fastened about the boy's waist. Now the boy must put all letters and papers for delivery in this bag before he leaves' the office. Neither rain nor mud nor all the scrapping he mar do can harm them. For some days the new boy was slightly delayed on every trip by numerous chances to fight But he is a hustler. It was not long until be es tablished a reputation throughout that section, and now he is seldom molested. His employer la delighted and intends to raise his wages next week. "I tell you that kid is a satisfaction," he declared. "No more boys who can't fight can find lobs here." Clears With Lumber Cargo. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. H. (Special.)

FIGHT IF1 INDIANA Election of Democratic Legis lature Means Struggle. x CENTERS ABOUT BEVERIDGE Senator's Seat Vacant Two Years Hence When Hemenway, Fair banks and Watson Will Be After His Job. OREGONLAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 14. The fact that the In diana Legislature went Democratic this year Insures a lively fight two years hence for the seat held by Senator Bev erldge. Senator Hemenway will retire on March 4, next, and it is understood he will be a candidate for Beveridge's seat, provided the Republicans have re gained control of the Legislature by that time. But Hemenway la not the only Indiana Republican who will be out of a Job after the 4th of March. Vice-President Fail banks is dne. Representative Watson, the defeated candidate for Governor, is an other, and Congressman Charles B. Un dis is a third, not to mention Repre sentative Overstreet, who also went down to defeat this year. -. All Seek Senatorstalp. All these men regard themselves as of Senatorial size, and most of them will be candidates against Senator Bever idge, unless Mr. Taft in filling offices at the opening of his Administration, makes provision for these "lame ducks." Vice-President Fairbanks has an nounced that he will take up the prac tice of law as soon as he leaves the Vice-President's chair. None of the ether defeated candidates have an nounced their plans for the future, but It Is possible that Mr. Taft will place some of them In Government offices for two or four years, long enough In any event to keep them on the payroll until they have another opportunity of run ning for Congress. New Public Printer. The Government printing office has always been a source of annoyance to the Administration, and it was largely through the investigation conducted by Representative Landls that the Presi dent was able to discover the true con dition which existed there and remove Public Printer Stlllings, who was re sponsible for most of the trouble. But even now the President has not got the office in satisfactory shape, and It is thought possible that Representative Landis may be appointed Public Printer soon after March 4. He Is a practical printer by trade and a big enough man to run the office properly. Representative Overstreet is chair man of the committee on postofflces, and Is familiar with the postal service, and he may be made First Assistant Postmaster-General. There is no particular position for which Senator Hemenway or Representative Watson are particu larly adapted, but if they are taken care of they may be placed In the dlplomatlo service .or given some assistant sec retaryship In the departments. Mr. Davis' Pore In Vinegar. Richard Harding Davis, in Colliers. Today, dramatic critics might be di vided into two classes: the misanthrope, who set his standard so high that in the modern theater he can see nothing to enjoy ana nothing to praise; and, the newspaper comedian, who regards the men and women on the stage only as persons in a pillory. Owing to some strange Inertia on the part of the public he has acquired the right to hurl at ac tors and actresses Impertinent personal ities, witticisms, sometimes cruel Jests that fester and leave a scar. To some men, the mere fact that a fellow human being is In the stocks, unable to retaliate, already a figure for laughter, is reason enough for passing him In silence, with averted eyes. But the low-comedy critic Is not paid to be magnanimous. If, by a flash of his wit. he can make his readers laugh, even though it .send a leading lady into hysterics or sets an actor swearing, he is satisfied. To him. to see hie name on an ashcan, under some such stirring quotation from his deathless prone as "A chuckle every minute," "it will make Comstock sit up," is Fame. It is his busloess, by ridicule, to send chorus girls sobbing to bed. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL KKPOBT. PORTLAND, Dee. 14. Maximum temper ature. 4.7 degrees; minimum. 3K. River reading at 8 A.
