THE 3IORMNG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1909. OREGON 0 UP SOUTHERN BANK Obtain Over $7000, Escape in Automobile, but Are Rap idly Captured. REFUSE TO GIVE NAMES After Money Is Recovered and Pair Placed In Jail, They Say They Come From Oregon, Then Keep Quiet. SAN FRAXCISCO. Aug. 13 Two Ore gon youth;, neither one much over 18 years of age. walked into the Valley Bank of Santa Clara shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, and lining: up the thre clerks at the muzzles of revolvers, pushed one of the men forward and told him to place $7" in a bag: and give It to them. "And be quick about It to." said one of the hoM-ups. "and if it is shy I'll blow the top of your head off." While the clerk was obeying the youths, the others had a good chance to etmJv th;rt tncs. ay . neither of the antHteurrMi deperaiio.-s was marked. 'ash;r Binte placed the required sum in a sack and Rave It to the two invad ers, who at once left the bank, went a la!f a biocfc, and Jump?d into a waiting au:o:nobIU There one of the men placed a revolver at the chauffeur's head and commanded him to "let her out for all sco'h worth." The chauffeur complied, and ti.e htav car disappeared in a cloud of ;ut. Vukk Pursuit GUen. Ay ?oon ar the men left the bank pur suit a. given. It wa? ascertained that tl . car had b-x-n hired earlier in the day from a Sun Jos garage, and was in charge of the regular drivor. The alarm was given and with a de scription of the car and its number the police of San Jose. Santa Clara and posses of citizens started in pursuit. The fan Francisco and Oakland -police also were notified and two heavy cars tilled with detectives were sent out from here Some miles out of town, however, the machine broke down or the driver dis abled it and the robbers took to the fields. Their direction was ascertained nd shortly afterwards they were over taken by Sheriff Langford and Deputy Sheriff F. Lowell on the banks of Moody Creek. The men wore exhausted by their flight and submitted without a fight. Money Is Recovered. When the fugitives surrendered under the menacing influence of rifles and shot guns. Is was discovered they were little more than boys. Neither appeared to be over IS years of ape. and it was evidently their first attempt at such a crime. Sher iff I-angfcrd asked for the bag of money, which one of the youths produced. It contained $7500. and It is believed to be the amount taken by them. Upon arriv ing at the Jail In San Jose, they were placed In separate cells. Sheriff Langford made every effort to discover the Identity of the prisoners, but beyond saying1 they were from Ore gon, they would tell nothing of their history. TWO R0ADSC0ULD ENTER Continued From First rs,e. This road will cost KOO.ono. the Porters announce, and will be the key to all fu ture work, inasmuch as supplies and con struction materials will be handled upon it. thus simplifying the direction of op erations In all the camps, as well as (treatly reducing the difficulties of sus taining them. The camps on the lower or northerly stretch of road will he sup plied from a warehouse at Nlebllcks. near Free Bridge, the center section, by the existing warehouse at Boyd, on the Great Southern, and the up-river camp from the large warehouse to be, constructed at Shanlko. Shanlko to Be Pay Center. The buildinR of this warehouse Is at present delayed because of the fact that the land necessary, which abuts on the tracks of the Columbia Southern, is owned by the Harrlman people, and It Is doubtful whether the parties will be able to purchase It. In addition to the ware houses, the main pay offices of the Por ter Bros, will be Installed here. The Twohy offices are at Grass Valley. Agents at Moro and Grass Valley points on the Columbia Southern Rail road, whence the contractors are ship ping much of their supplies into the canyon, report more business concen trated into the last few weeks than their stations have experienced In all their previous history. At Grass Valley three to five carloads of supplies ar rive daily, and three extra agents have been employed to aid in handling the rush of justness. Detectives Eye Every Move. An Interesting fact that came to light makes it seem pretty certain that the movements of the Porters, of interest to all Oregonians. possess especial attrac tion for certain careless-looking gentle men who chiefly occupy their days In Shanlko by endeavoring ta appear totally indifferent to all things, from railroad construction to politics. Such an Inhuman lack of frailty had early convinced observers that the truth of the mttter was that the only thing that really did Interest them was the ob servation of Mr. Porter, ind a little de tective tragedy yesterday substantiated their suspicions. It became known, quite opportunely, that Mr. Porter was going to slip off to Bend on Important and mysterious busi ness, and. sure enough, in the morning he started in his machine. Post haste one of the crafty "sleuths" rushed off on the Bend stage, while another gave frantic chase to the car with a team. -When a few miles out of town. Mr. Porter's chauffeur saw some freight teams In the road before him. and turned off in the sagebrush, allowing the .freight wagons to stand responsi ble for the obliteration of his tracks. Then Mr. Porter proceeded to his river camps, while one detective eagerly has tened towards Bend and the other re pented at leisure far along the dusty road. After being so entirely out-Sherlock Holmed. it is wondered whether the sleuth will get out an injunction restraining himself from further pro fessional activity. Discharged Men Grumble. ' Shanlko is fairly overflowing with men turned off from the Twoby camps up river, whose work was stopped by the recent injunction. Among these there seems to be considerable bitterness at the condition of affairs, it being difficult for the foreign laborers to comprehend the reasons that have caused the suspension of operations. A sad tale of misunderstanding and hardship mas told by members of a party of who arrived back from the f Twoby camps at dawn yesterday. They had left Shanlko the previous morning bound for the Harrlman camw. bellev , ln work awaited them there and after tramping- 2S miles with little food and no water, they discovered that their trip I was in vain, the camp having been shut down. Nothing remained for them but j t'.ie lona- walk back to Sliamiko. and It was not until dawn of the next aay inai they dragged Into town in exhausted j condition. Weird Tale Is Related. A number of workmen from Twoby camp Xo. 73, 20-odd miles south of here, are responsible for this weird and famine painted tale. They declare that one day last week the dinner for the entire camp of 25 men consisted of a single hind quarter of beef, plus a liberal amount of onions. "Only this, and nothing more." Unanimously tltey voted 'nevermore," for the abrevlated menu, coupled with the fact that their beds had for the most part be?n the softer dirt spaces hunted out between rocks, seems to have convinced them that the glory of partici pating in the opening up of Central Ore gon scarcely repaid the hardships of the preliminary battlefield. A phas of the petty troubles that have resulted from the temporary stoppage of work is the complaining of those who secured positions in Portland, or thought they had, through the medium of the employment agencies, only to find, upon arriving here, that the expected posi tions had evaporated, thanks to the in- 4 SANTA CI.

ROCKHILL SURE OF CHINA Declares America Will Have Valu able Trade With Empire. NEW TURK, Aug. 13. William W. Rockhill, who sailed today to assume his new duties as Ambassador to Rus sia, declared that America has a re markably good commercial prospect in China, where he has been minister since 1905. -The Chinese are very friendly with us and are anxious to strengthen the ! business relations now existing, said Mr. Rockhill. "The building of rail i roads nili open up the interior of China , to a vast foreign commerce, of which i America can have the largest portion ! if it will go after it. England, Ger many and France have enjoyed the largest pari of Chinese commerce be I caus-e they have established houses there and have done business in a pro : irrpssim manner. The defect in the business relations between the United States and China has been that our manufacturers and merchants have been satisfied with a representation there by a professional agent. "We can sell better goods, in China and at a less cost than any other na tion, and I believe now that the coun try will be opened by railroads, the American people will take advantage of tne friendliness of China."

WILLARD HAS NEW RECORD Makes Longest Cross-Country Flight in America. MIXXBOLA. L. I.. Aug. 13. What is said to be a record for cross-country dis tance flight for . an aeroplane in this country, was made by U. r oster vv u lard In the Golden Flyer today, when he covered 12 miles In HHi minutes. This exceeds the 10-mile flight made by the Wright Brothers' aeroplane from Tort Myer to Alexandria, Va., and return sev eral weeks ago. Much longer flights within a short cir cle, however, have been made by tne Wrights and longer cross-country rung have been made abroad. Mr. Willard, who has been making short, flights almost daily In the ma chine belonging to the Aeronautic So ciety, started from Minneola at 5:26 this morning In an attempt to make a world s record cross-country flight. His route lay around an irregular square and car ried him from Minneola over Garden City. Westbury and Hicksville, and back to Minneola. Leaving Minneola, Willard sailed the machine about 150 feet in the air. and going oft at a fast clip, his machine was quickly a speck on the horl- son. Soon it disappeared behind tne trees. Nearly 15 minutes had elapsed when the speck again appeared miles away in the direction of Westbury.

CONVICT CHEATS GALLOWS Hangs Self in Cell Soon After Cell mate's Suicide. OAKLAND, Cal., Aug. 13. With a handkerchief around his neck, and sur geons- bandages for a rope. August Cous sens, awaiting trial for murder, commit ted suicide early today by hanging him self to the door of his cell in the coun ty Jail. Mark Manchester, the art con noisseur who killed himself in his Berke ley .home Thursday morning, was a cell mate of Coussens. the night that he spent as a prisoner at the county Jail. It Is believed that the two men formed a suicide pact and that Coussens' self destruction was his fulfillment of this pact. Another reason for Coussens' sui cide is suggested -by the fact that he took a great liking to Manchester during the few hours that they were together in the cell, and when he read of the Berke lyan's suicide last night it affected him so much as to- suggest a similar termi nation to himself. Coussens shot and killea Harry B. Shat tuck, a cook, on the morning of May 5, In the former's lunchroom, at the corner of Sixth and Washington streets. The murder was prompted by Coussens' jealousy of his wife, of whose affections he believed Shattuck had robbed him.

Easy to take and most effective, REPORT IS DENIED Montana Power Sites Not En tered Under Ballinger. ONLY TWO PRIVATE SITES Schwartz, of General Land Office, Rises to Defense of Present Administration of De partment. WASHINGTON, "Aug. 13. "At no time during the administration of Secretary Ballinger have any power sites been filed on in Montana," said Acting Assistant Commissioner Schwartz of the General Land Office, in a statement today. The statement was issued as a denial of the report that In the Bozeman, Mont., land district, one Jermlah Collins, on June 11, filed on 15,868 acres of land, valuable for power sites, In the interest of large power companies. The statement says that neither Collins nor the Collins Land Com pany had made any such filing at Boze man or elsewhere. "The only water power site on the watersheds of the Missouri River not now under the control of the Government un der Secretary Ballinger's orders of sus pension, are sites which have been In private ownership for several years," says Mr. Schwartz, "and two additional sites which are improved and developed to run the streetcar system and lighting of Hel ena and Butte and the mines in Butte. "These two sites are in the possession of the Helena Power & Light Company and the Capital Improvement Company, one having a. dam 85 fees- -high and the other 120 feet high, across the Missouri River.

REACH FOR BALLIXGER'S SCALP Enemies Try to Involve Him in Alas kan Coal Case. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington Aug. 13. Enemies of Secre tary Ballinger and Senator Heyburn are trying to involve them in the alleged coal land frauds in Alaska, which the Government Is about to take into court. They say Assistant Secretary Pierce and Land Commissioner Dennett are also in volved. Thy say that these officials were connected in some improper manner with the efforts of Portland capitalists to secure the coal land. Forest Service offi cials who are making a campaifn against Mr. Ballinger say even that h's resigna tion will be demanded. The explanation made by friends of Mr. Ballinger say that, while he was attor ney . for the Portland company when it was formed by Clarence C. Cunningham, he withdrew from all connection with the company when he became Commissioner of the General Land Office in the Roose velt Administration. Mr. Heylhirn gave Mr. Cunningham power of attorney to locate a coal claim for him, but withdrew this authority when he became Senator. Cunningham and 32 associates, all said to be men of c6nsiderable means, made 33 filings of 160 acres each, about 30 miles north of Katalda. Embraced in these filings is the richest coal known to exist in Alaska, some of it in clear 60-foot seams: the coal is of high steaming qual ity. Secretary Hitchcock suspended these entries and his suspension is still In ef fect. Meanwhile special agents have ex amined all these claims and have pre ferred charges, which Mr. Cunningham and his associates will be called upon to face some time next month. If these charges are sustained, they will prove that Mr. Cunningham - et al. have en deavored to acquire this land contrary to law. Because Mr. Ballinger was once attorney- for this combination, and in that capacity applied for issuanse of patents to them, but now refuses to show favorit ism toward his former clients, and ugly reports have been put in circulation. Mr. Dennett is Included because he refused to recommend that patents be issued. Ail the facts will be brought out at the com ing hearing.
