MAT TAKE ROBBERS
Warrants Out for Looters of
East Side Bank.
MEN CLOSELY WATCHED
IMnkcrton Detectives Believe Tlicy
Have Three Hold-ups Located
ami W ill Arrest Them Wheu
p:vldence Is Complete.
As a climax to the holi-up of the East
fide Bank, tile nisht of December 7. when
l;5.0 was carried away by three rob
bers whuse whereabouts have since baf
fled the city's entire police force and de
tective staff. John Doe warrants for the
rrest of the trio were secretly issued out
of the District Attorney's office several
days ao. The evidence which led to the
issuance of the warrants was laid before
District Attorney Cameron by the Pinker
ton detectives, who have not relaxed vigi
lance for a single moment since the crime
was committed.
Within a few da. it is authoritatively
rtated. the men implicated In the most
sensational and during bank robbery in
the Northwest will be placed under ar
rest. All are now being; shadowed, and
ttie evidence against them Is such that
with the pickinir up of a few more links
the chain of circumstances which It is
believed will send all three of the prin
cipals to the penitentiary, together with
their accomplices, will .be complete.
Information regarding the present
w-hereahouts of the bank robbers Is with
held. Those In a position to know stata
that the evidence against the guilty ones
is practically complete, that they are be
ing closely watched and will be placed
under arrest when wanted.
From other than official ources It Is
learned that at lea6t two of the men im
plicated in the robbery are In the East.
The third Is believed to be In some city
on the Pacific Coast. For "two days or
longer. It Is stated, the three men who
were actually engaged in holding: up the
bank loitered about the city and literally
made faces at the officers who were en
deavoring to find trace of them. .Finally,
when' the Pinkertons began their search,
the trio became frihtened and fled the
city, each going In a different direction.
Two brought, up finally in the vicinity
of Chicact).
One of the strongest features of the
evidence which the detective agency has
woven about the robbers revolves about
the package of money which was sent in
a newspaper to Ogden and taken out of
the postofflce by the wrong man, who
turned It over to the postal authorities.
It has been established beyond doubt
that the ti forwarded to Ogden is part
of the money stolen from the Bast Side
Bank. After it was partially identified
as a part of the stolen loot, the Ogden
authorities again turned-it over to Charles
Price, the one who had received it origi
nally through mistake, and it was depos
ited in an Ogden bank to Price's account.
Last week President H. H. Xewhall ad
vised the officers of the Ogden bank
where the fund is on deposit that if they
would forward the money to Portland
for positive Identification he would put
up a bond sufficient to cover the entire
sum. The Ogden bank officials Btt yet
have given no definite answer to the re
quest, but It is quite probable, according
to President Xewhall. that eome such
course will be taken to determine defi
nitely whether the money Is that stolen
during the bank hold-up. The entire sum
Is In paper of various denominations and
could be identified readily by the local
bank's officers.

IVOTE ON SALARIES
Taxpayers Will Hear Protest
of Teachers Tonight.
REPORT OF SCHOOL CLERK
Figures for Present year Show Ex
penditures Of $1,475,664 AVIth
Indebtedness at Present Time
Amounting; to $642,491.
Taxpayers of School District No. 1
will hold their annual meeting in the as
sembly hall of the West Side High School
at 8 o'clock tonight. The yearly report
and recommendations of the Board of Kd
ucation will be received and acted upon,
and the statistical report of District Clerk
Allen, touching on the financial condition
of the district, will be submitted.
The pending controversy over a pro
posed increase In teachers' salaries prom
ises to make the meeting an Interesting
one. 1 he Board of Education recently
decided on an advance In the wage sched
ule averaging 15 per cent, and has In
cluded such a proposal In Its recommen
dations to the taxpayers. The teachers,
however, originally applied for a raise of
20 per cent, and it Is understood are dis
satisfied with the action of the Board in
not complying with their petition. To
gether with their friends, they have
planned to attend tonight's meeting and
seek the Indorsement of the taxpayers fn
a movement to set aside the salary rec
ommendation of the directors and substi
tute a provision covering the desired 20
per cent Increase.
Issue Is Important One.
It Is up to the taxpayers to determine
whether or not the recommendation of
the Board for a 15 per cent advance in
teachers' salaries shall be ratified. It Is
because of the importance of the matter
to the district that the members of the
Board are desirous that there be a large
attendance of the taxpayers at tonight's
meeting. If the recommendations of the
Board are accepted, a tax levy of 4.7 mills
will be necessary for school purposes foi
the ensuing year. If the teachers gain
their demands for a 20 per cent advance
In wages, the levy necessarily will have
to be higher.
The report of District Clerk Allen will
show receipts for the year. Including a
balance of !460o.51, amounting to $1,483,
172.78. There is a cash balance on hand
of $7508.17, showing disbursements for
the 12 months aggregating $1,475,664.61.
The total indebtedness of the district is
$642,491.18. The following figures, taken
