THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, , NOVEMBER 12, 1909. ONE DEAD, 2 SHOT AT ROBBER'S HAND Boy Bank Thief Kills Cashier, Wounds President and Negro Chauffeur. RUSE BLOCKS LYNCHING Escaping In Skiff, Motor Boat Runs Down New Albany, Ind., Desper ado Captor, Saying Captive Took Poison, Fools Mob. LOCIBVILLE. Ky.. Nov. ll.-J. Han ft Ajhlfr of the Merchants' National Bank, of Kew Albany. Ind,, was .vm- jnhn K". Woodward, president of the same Institution, was dangerously .wounded, and James R. TucKer. a negro chauffeur of Louisville, was probably i Miirufffi this morning, when a young man, partially Identified as Arthur I Hall, a Louisville dealer In secona-nana ,..,i,. nti-Ari th bank. and. after commanding everyone to throw up their ' hands and "get in the vault, Degan shooting. Cashier Dies Instantly. Mr. Fawcett died almost Instantly. He v-a mhnt thrnueh th neck and client. Woodward was shot through the liver : and Intestines, and Tucker, shot tnrougn the body, may die. Following the shooting the murderer rushed from the bank and tried to make ' his escape In a stolen automobile. But the chauffeur, paralysed with terror, and apparently Incapable of action, sat still. The robber Jumped from the car and sent a bullet through the negro's body. Turn ing down the river bank a distance per haps of two blocks, the murderer ran with great speed. He quickly approached a skiff and started for the Kentucky hore. Ruse Prevents Lynching. An alarm was given through a mega phone from a dredgeboat, and in a short time the police of the little city had started in pursuit In a fast motor boat. They captured their man and brought him to shore, only to confront the new peril of a lynching. By a clever ruse. Captain Adams, of the police, stood off the crowd of 2"0 that thronged the dock as the boat landed. Commanding the prisoner to He down, the captain announced that the man had taken poison and was dead, meanwhile carrying him to the patrol wagon and giving the word to drive ahead." The robber was taken to the New Albany jail. A few moments later, to escape the mob. he was removed to the Southern In dlana Reformatory at Jeffersonville. There the prisoner talked only under pressure. He said he did not know Tuck er, the chauffeur. Refuses to Give Name. "1 won't tell my name. I have seven brothers and sisters," he said. "My father does not live with my mother, and all of them are not within 600 miles of this place. I never smoked a cigarette, chewed nor drank. Oh. yes, I smoked a cigar In Covington ten years ago, but never again. I never was In trouble but once. That was at Lexington, Ky., on Halloween, a long time ago." He seemed confused, but apparently is not insane. He confessed that he planned the bank robbery, and saya he had no assistance. The robber is a good-looking young chap, with red hair, neatly cut. His face is effeminate. He is not more than 3D years old. Not Insane, Simply Mean. Tonight the robber was Identified as Thomas Jefferson Hall, and. according to William J. Hall, his father. Is but , 17 years old. The elder Hall, who has : a furniture store at 803 South Preston 'i street, in this city, said that young Hail was a household tyrant and not Insane at all. "He Is simply mean," said the father. The family came here from Knoxville, Tenn. ROBBERS TIE UP FAMILY (Continued from First Ptfe. Police Chauffeur Graves were dpa,tched to the place immediately by Chief Cox, ! but were able only to secure a descrip tion of the men. From this, however, the detectives profess, to have their sus picions of the perpetrators and are at work on that theory. The Bittner home is located In an iso lated section of Irvington. There is not ' another residence In several blocks and the land is densely wooded In that part of the city. The house is a fine new bungalow, handsomely furnished, and was built by Mr. Blttner during the Sum mer. "We carelessly left the rear door un locked." said Mr. Bittner. "and were seated at dinner. The door opens on the dining-room and Is within two feet of the dining table. Mrs. Bittner was seated nearest the door. The two men entered the house very quietly. I was facing the door and had no idea anyone was near until it opened suddenly as the taller of the two. who was apparently the leader, entered. He held his revol ver in front of him. His face was masked by a piece of black cloth. 1 should judge from his voice that he is a hard whisky drinker, as it was hoarse, though well modulated. The light shone strongly In his face and I could see enough of his eyes to tell they were black. The whites were red. as If he had been on a spree. The other man followed him closely. Mrs. Bittner turned around on seeing the expression of surprise on our faces and uttered a low cry." Only Money Wanted. The leader spoke first. "Do not be alarmed." he said, "all we want is your money. Tou will have to hold up your hands. Now stnnd up and get over there against the wall. Quickly. We haven't any time to spare." "He spoke very rapidly and command Ingly." said Mr. Bittner, "and before we knew what was up -scarcely we were standing against the wall and the smaller of the two men had rifled my pockets. Then they turned down the lights we haven't electricity here yet drew the shades, locked the doors and commenced ransacking the house. The smaller man heia the revolver on us while the other went upstairs. I had just drawn my salary and had paid one bill out of it. I had 95 In my pockets and the ladles had about 15 in their purses." While preparations were being made for binding the man and women, the taller of the burglars talked to them, explaining the sorro of himself and companion at disturbing their dinner. "The exigencies of the hour, you know,' he said. Soon after the robbers had gone, the beat or horses' hoofs on the pavement was heard less than a block away. The detectives are inclined to think the taller of the two men is an experi enced highwayman and house robber. Although suspicious of both, they are In doubt of his Identity. Neither used any slang in his conversation and moved aboutaon the waxed floor as if familiar with such surroundings. One of them even inquired the make of the piano, venturing that it was one of the best upright instruments made. Their methods, while much finer, are similar, say the detectives, to those employed by Earl Hegely and Frank Raboin, the youthful burglars who robbed two residences on Council Crest six weeks ago. Both are now in jail. Hegely having been arrested here ten days ago by Craddock and Mallet and Raboin in Los Angeles five days before. In the Southern city they committed aid A. F. littaer.

Hamlin, American Tenor . in Concert Large Audience Hears Delightful Programme at Bungalow, and Singer Proves He Is Still Leader Among His Ivind. BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. T IS a remarkable tribute to the art r yes, art's the word of George John Hamlin that he is still the leading tenor in America In the lovely accomplishment of Binglng soft love songs, and in the face of severe competition. He has won this golden crown, this goal for which many American boys would give their all, by. his assiduity as a student and singer, and industry In the selection of music pecu liarly suited to his lyric tenor voice. Mr. Hamlin was the solo artist at a high-class concert given last night at the Bungalow Theater, under- the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. The audi ence was large but somewhat slow In ar riving, and late-comers somewhat spoiled the beginning of the musical treat by the noise made In finding their seats. This should be remedied next time. Mr. Hamlin made many friends by the fine programme he gave at his concert here about two years ago, and Portland then formed a favorable estimate of his high merit as a-tenor. He again showed skill last night in the musical selections he made, and his audience though kind, was somewhat late in waking up to the feast of mood things In store. Mr. Hamlin Is just a finished concert tenor, and as such he has won renown by singing before the principal musical clubs and societies of this country and Germany. Mr. Hamlin sang last night up to B in altissimo. by a skillful use of what ex perts call the upper thin voice, to which Is wedded the falsetto. Mr. Hamlin reached in this manner his highest notes with ease, but when he sang fortissimo the same notes were hard in quality and there was a suggestion of straining. There are better B flat tenors than Mr. Hamlin, so far as easy emission of high notes is concerned, in the magnificent cathedral choirs of England. And this Is not "knocking" Mr. Hamlin one bit. The programme last night was ren dered as per programme, and Mr. Ham lin evidently believed in a Judicious use of the German language, where in his rendition of the "lieder" he wins his most artistic triumphs. There was great enthusiasm over his singing of the Schneider songs. "Your Byes and "Flower Rain." and he was forced to re peat these numbers. His other encores were "Over Here" (Old Irish). "Heimlich Aufforderung" (Strauss). "Tear's at the SDrlng" (Beach), arid "The Day Is Gone." by Miss Margaret Lang, of Chicago. Mr. Hamlin s success was very mucn neipea by the really artistic piano accompani ments played by Edwin Schneider, of Chicago.

Mrs. Phlpps. the complaining witness, again took the stand today and was cross-examined by Mrs. Read's attorney. In answer to questions In regard to the methods by which Mrs. Read had secured an interview with her, Mrs. Phlpps said Mrs. Read had told her a spv in the Phlpps household, who was endeavoring to secure material for a sequel to Joseph Medlll Patterson's "Little Brothers of the Rich." had been placed there by Henry Phlpps, of New York, an uncle of her di vorced husband. Lawrence Phipps, in an effort to prove that she regarded money far beyond her children, and that she was an unfit person to have the custody of her two daughters. In spite of the grilling cross-examination. Mrs. Phlpps adhered strictly to the story told yesterday. She again told of how Mrs. Read had proposed to return the amount she attempted to force from Mrs. Phlpps by Insuring her life for the same amount and committing suicide by dynamite while visiting a marble quarry.

Agitation by the people of Broadway for an improved streetcar service received an unexpected impetus last evening when, because of the overcrowded con dition of a Broadway car, a woman pas senger fainted and had to be assisted from the coach. The woman's name was not learned but she was a passenger on the Broadway oar that left Third and Washington streets at 6:15 o'clock last evening. Every available inch in the car was occupied and It was because of the resulting oppressiveness that the woman took ill and had to be removed from the car at Ninth and Broadway. It was necessary for the conductor to assist her to the sidewalk. Early next week a mass meeting of the residents of Broadway will be held in the Irvington clubhouse, when a campaign will be outlined by which these people hope to secure better streetcar service. They will take their grievance formally MY SAMPLE SHOES ARE SUPERIOR SHOES, THEY ARE THE PICK AND FOR WOMEN A PAIR PORTLAND'S BUSIEST SHOE SHOP POSITIVELY NO BRANCH HOUSES IN PORTLAND THESE SHOES OPEN DAILY 8 A.M.

The streetcar company will also be asked to give these people a special car which will not make any stops west of Union avenue and Broadway. In support of their contention for a more frequent car schedule the Broad way people charge that since the railway company extended its Broadway line from Nineteenth and Broadway to Twenty-second and Thompson, the pas senger business has increased 15 to 18 per cent. The car service is the same as formerly. While the Broadway people are supposed to have a 15-minute service, they complain that It is not unusual for them to have to wait from 25 to 30 minutes for a car. These patrons are much displeased with the inadequacy of the service that Is being furnished and feel that they will not have any trouble in convincing the management of the railway company that a greater number of cars should be placed on that division of the company's system and operated at more frequent intervals.

BEAUTIFUL TEETH One of the nicest things about the Alveolar Method of restoring missing teeth without the aid of plates or or dinary bridgework is their absolute, naturalness. When they are completed and in the mouth they are so perfect that the one who wears them Is con stantly being complimented on his teeth. We never have heard of any body, who wore a partial plate or bridgework, boing able to fool their friends on their teeth. The false teeth stamp is written on them unmistak ably. In some cases they answer the pur pose and fill up the gaps in the mouth where the teeth are missing, but that is about all they are good for. You will find very few people using them to eat with. With the Alveolar Method we tell a patient, after these teeth are . in position, to go ahead and eat with them and use them exactly as he would natural teeth. There is nothing about them that needs to be favored; there is practically no pain in the process, either while it Is being done or after ward; the gums keep healthy and the teeth can be brushed and kept clean exactly the same as if they were nat ural teeth and had grown in the gums. In cases where all the teeth are gone we can do nothing except furnisli a perfect and perfect-fitting plate, some thing that most dentists can't do. But if two or more teeth are left in either jaw we can restore all those that are missing by the Alveolar Method, and give a patient a set of teeth that are so near nature's that the loss of the natural teeth will scarcely be noticed. The work is practically painless, calls for no surgical operation, is not teeth implantation, and when done is perma nent. The wearer can use the Alveolar Teeth with almost as much satisfaction as if they had grown in his jaws, and we defy any one, dentist or layman, to tell them from the most beautiful and perfect natural teeth. Pyorrhea, the most dreaded disease of the dental profession. commonly known as Riggs disease (loose teeth), a disease that dentists as a whole have given up as Incurable, we claim to cure and guarantee the cure to be perma nent. We have hundreds of cases to refer to right here in this city and state. There is seldom a day that we do not discharge one or more patients from our office as cured of this awful disease. REMEMBER, please, that cheap den tistry is the most expensive In the end. Most of our business comes from those who have learned this from sad ex perience. Dental work should be artis tic and beautiful as well as service able and lasting. THE REX DENTAL CO., DENTISTS, 311 to 314 Ahlngton Bldg., 1064 3d St. Sundays 10 to 12. I
