With shaking; voices the two stopped Munson aa he drove a waron up the Germantown road, a mile after he na3 left the grocer?- store of war Rhoades at the it tersectlon of the two highways. . Rhoades obediently raised his hands and one of the robbers, as In Saturday nlghfs hold-up, searched his victim, while covering- him with a nickelplated revolver. Then they or dered Munson. who Is only 20 years old, to drive back toward Port;and. He went back as far as the grocery, where he gave the alarm. Little of Talne Takesu When Munson searched himself after the hold-up he found that the youth ful pair had taken 8 In money, two handkerchiefs, one nut off a bolt and a handful of matches. With them they took his lantern, a cheap white light, broken and patched with two playing cards. The two highwaymen went west on the Germantown road. Deputy Sheriff Leonard, who all last night with Hunter. Phillips and French was upon the young men's trail on the Section and Base Line roads, hastllv set out and scoured the coun try around Llnnton In an automobile. Descriptions furnished by Munson to the officers tally with those given by Charland and Mrs. Wilson Saturday nla-ht. and it is the theory that the two boys left the Eleven-Mile House going to the Slough road, to Bt. Johns, where they took the ferry to Llnnton. Can Munson. brother to A. Munfon. saw two boys yesterday who corresponded well with the descriptions of Saturdays and last night s hold-up artists. The entire force of Deputy Sherirra, headed hy Archie Leonard, spent yester day following clews in the Charland hold-up case. With only an old gray felt hat with .no band or name in and a limited description of the men lo work on. tangible clews were ob tained which are expected to result In arrests. Imjairy May Be Permanent. Mr. Charland was reported yester day to be doing as well as could oe expected. The most serious outcome of tho wounds he has In his legs as a re sult of the shooting by the robbers is expected to be permanent injury of his right le. A bullet lodged in the ankle may cause his leg to be stiff perma nently. He is being cared for at his home at the Kleven-Mile House, where the hold-up and shooting took place. 100 MAZAMAS TAKE TRAMP Montavilla to Gresham on Base Line Boad Is Route Traveled. ; OverlOO Mazamas took part in the walk yesterday.

SHANTv .NOW HEADS EAST SIDE BAPTIST CHURCH. CHINAMEN'S TRIALT0 BEGIN Wong; SI Sam. Alleged Slayer, Will JIaTe Second Hearing Today. The second trial of Wong SI .Sam. charged with complicity in the murder of Seid wah Ring, a wealthy Chinese cannervman. will begin in the Circuit Court this morning. The issues will be the same as in the first trial which resulted in a verdict of second degree murder, which verdict was set aside by the Supreme Court on technical grounds. Wong SI Sam and Lew Soon are ac- Welcomed Into Fellowship of North west, Says Pastor More Impor " ' tant Than President. "1 have no special address of welcome this morning. My welcome to this people shall continue throughout the year and every day, and my reed Is to: preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, help men and women to live sweeter and better lives and lead them to Christ which Is the creed of the Bap tist Church as I understand it." said Rev. W. O. Shank, the new pastor who began his work at the East Side Bap tist Church yesterday morning. A large congregation was present, the auditorium being filled to its ca pacltv. Rev. C. A. Woody, represent ing the Baptists of the Northwest, was present to welcome Rev. Mr. Shank to the fellowship of the Baptists of the association of the state and the North west. He came' to Portland from Kon sas.. - ; Tha ' sermon which Rev. Mr. Shank delivered was a plain presentation ot the gospel without sensational fea tures, the text being from Daniel XII:2, "And they that are wise shall shine as the firmament." He said that the ques tion "What is wisdom?" had been asked through the ages, and many answers bad "been given. "The scholar sought for the answer tn vain and the scientific man naa looked for It." said Mr. Shank, "in the blowpipe but found It not. The stoic, the Hindoo and the atheist had sought the answer, but failed and gave to the human family no promise. The stole said that It consisted in virtue, but placed the human race and the animal on the same plane, whereas man dif fers from the beast in that he has a soul. The answer is not m the pleas ure of eating and drinking and In the pleasures of life. The fear of the Lord Is the beginning of wisdom n is ta answer to the question, and Christian It v Is the fundamental of life. "Wireless telegraphy is perhaps the greatest Invention from the genius of man. When the ntanic was sinning the electric spark was sent forth by the- faithful operator and brought an answer and help. If the genius of man can do this wonderful thing it is not unreasonable to think that the Supreme Being can also telegraph his message to his Deoole. Wireless telegraphy rer quires that the sender and receiver shall be in tune in order to transmit tha electric spark, and so the human soul must be in tune to receive tbls message from God. It is s-reat to be President. Sena. tor or a great scholar, but it is much greater to be a preacher, and send lortn the message of the gospel." Following the sermon came the re ceiving of Rev. Shank, his wife and son and daughter into the East Side Baptist Church. Rev. F. E. A. Smith, senior deacon of the church, officiated at this ceremony His Opposition to Resolution Results In Speech by Chaplain of Prison, Who Denounces Sentiment of Predecessor. Seeking double assurance of the pre vention' of the five executions which are set for Friday. December 13, at the State Penitentiary, opponents of capital punishment who gathered in a mass meeting at the Masonic Temple yester dav afternoon not only adopted reso lutions and signed petitions asking for reprieve for the criminals, but pre pared for an excursion to Salem Thursday-, to go In a body and plead with the Governor of the state . to suspend the sentences. The resolution adopted calls for the reprieve of the prisoners until after the next state election, on the ground that the women of the state had no op portunity of voting on the question of capital punishment at the last elec tion and that the result of the vote does not show completely tne senti ment of the citizens on the matter. Pe titions embodying the same idea were circulated and signed by nearly all who attended the meeting'. Zles-ler Is Opposed. In the vote upon the resolution J. B. Ziegler voted decidedly against it and asking for the privilege of the floor, begaln an address advocating the con tinuation of the system of capital pun ishment. He rehearsed the most im portant crimes in the scries that has occurred in Multnomah County and de clared that his stand was taken in sym pathy with the relatives and friends of the people'who were taken off in these crimes. "I speak out of sympathy with the victims of "Jack" Roberts, who will be turned loose again upon society if this neurotic state of mind, this tar reachlng sentlmentalism, prevails. Such creatures as this," he said, "are beyond redemption and cannot be regenerated. The safest thing for scociety is to put him out of the way and end all possi bility of his repetition of the crime." Hisses from the audience at this point In his speech drowned his voice. It was only after several minutes that Dr. E. N. Wood, who presided over the meeting, was able to secure order, after which she bade him finish his speech. The entire audience was manifestly out of harmony with his sentiments throughout the remainder of his ad dress and subdued jeers followed him as he walked to his seat. Chaplain Bauer, from the State Peni tentiary, rising to answer Mr. Ziegler's speech, denounced his sentiments at murderous. Bauer Scores Zleeler. "We all hate murder," he said, "but this man has murder in his heart when he urges us, on December 13 to Kin five men and I hate htm as I hate any other man who would do murder." Applause from his hearers attested their sympathy with his sentiment. Rev. Mr. Bauer reviewed his ac quaintance in the penitentiary with each of the five murderers who are to be hanged Friday, declaring that every one of them is the creature of modern society, and that society Is largely re sponsible for. their crimes. "If absolute justice demands capital punishment and absolute Justice in these cases were none, ne aeciarea, "not only those five men. but you and I and hundreds of other people who have been responsible - for their en vironment which made them what they are, should hang with them." Other speakers were Dr. Mary Thomp son. Col. C. E. S. Wood, Dr. J. C. Bu chanan and Rev. Albert Ebrgott. Mrs. H. W. Coe, acting president of the State Equal Suffrage League, spoke briefly In behalf of her organization and pre sented a message from Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, urging that the sen tence of the murderers should be com muted. to life imprisonment at hard la bor, and that the proceeds of the pris oners' labor be turned to the support of the families deprived of their heads' by the crimes that had been committed. Mrs. Fred L. Olson sang a solo at the close .of the meeting. Dr. Wood announced that arrange ents were to be made at once for the excursion Thursday to Salem to request the Governor to reprieve the prisoners and many of those present announced their intention of taking part in the demonstration.

Miss Julia Spooner. a roruanu Oarsmen Take Advantage of Nice Weather and Canoeists Appear in Summer Costumes. In spite of the off season date yes terday was an extremely busy day on the Willamette River, the stream al most presenting the appearance ot an August Sunday. Canoes, motor boats and even sailers made their appear ance and the Portland Bowing Club was as busy as on the day of one of the big regattas. The Oregon Wolf, one of the boats which will race in the New Year's day purse run. was out the greater part of the day under the critical eye of the builder and designer. John E. Wolff. The boat was almost sent to the scran heaa at the end of the season, it having such a disreputable appearance, but despite the external show, she still manages to tear through the water at the rate of nearly 40 miles an hour and its winning feature, reliability, is sun an asset. The practice at the Rowing Club was better attended than some of the last Soring turn-outs. Two four-oared crews made their appearance and sev eral of the singles went for long spins in the warm sun. Of the teams represented in the JCorth Pacific Association of Amateur Oars men, the Portland crew Is the only one which has the water and the weather to enable the men to train the greater part of the Winter. The majority of the rowers will work in the open all rear. ' At the Portland Motor Boat Club there was a great sputtering of engines and the air waa blue with gasoline smoke. Although the shore was a little chlllv. the sun over the water was warm and the "chug" boat owners took advantage in force. Canoeists also spotted the water and some of the excursionists wore the cus tomary Summer garb of white duck trousers and a Bjm shirt SpecialsToda)MnPm - . z .
