Joe Barron, who is believed Dy
the police to have been one of their
number, fired several shots to frighten
the women in their berths, then made
good their escape.
Within half an hour after the robbery
the authorities had the scene sur
rounded and J. D. Farrell, president of
the O.-W. R. & N. Company, had offered
a reward of $5000 each for the appre
hension of the criminals.

The robbers evidently boarded the
train at East Portland station, imme
diately east of the Harriman bridge
leading from the Union depot. .They
climbed onto the tender and crawled
carefully over it to the cab of the en
gine, where they covered George Phelps,
tlie engineer, and Fireman Monroe, with
their guns.
"Throw up your hands." shouted one
of the men. As the fireman and en
gl,iper ttrnd te look around they
looked into the muzzles of a pair of
45-callbre revolvers. - - -
. Behind the guns were a pair of stock
lly built men. each with his, face cov
ered by a green handkerchief.

The engineer slowly applied the
brakes. The train was running about
jo miles an hour.
"Hurry up. Stop the train.-' com
manded the highwayman who seemed
to be the leader of the pair.
Phelps seemed to hesitate for a mo
ment and the masked pair approached
threateningly near.
Fireman Makes Leap.
As the train came to a standstill
Fireman Monroe leaped through the
window. One of the men Jumped In
pursuit. As Monroe fled up the steep
bank on the north side of the gulch
Into Irvlngton the masked man fired
several shots in his direction. All went
w-ide of their mark.
Monroe stopped a passing automo
bile and himself was mistaken by Its
occupants for a highwayman. He told
the chauffeur to take him to the near
e'st telephone, from whence he sum
moned the police.

Meanwhile the holdup men accom
plished their sinister purpose. The pair
who had covered the engine crew were
satisfied to let the fireman escape.
Taking the engineer with them they
returned to the rear of the train.
Two of their pals entered the obser
vation parlor car attached to the rear
of the train and forcibly robbed those
riding therein. One of the men held a
pistol with which he menacingly cov
ered everyone' In the car. while the
other passed quickly from one person
to another and relieved them of what
ever money and jewelry they possessed.
Several shots were fired through the
'.windows, evidently to frighten the pas
sengers. As they hastily left the car
th-y picked up three grips, which they
afterwards' dropped along the tracks as
they beat a hurried and disorderly re
treat back towards the river. Most of
the contents of the grips were found
scattered along the tracks.

While the two men were busy rob
bing the passengers In the observation
car one of the men who had entered the
ingine ran alongside of the train shout
ing r.nd shooting in an apparent aim
less and misdirected manner. This man,
the police believe, is Barron, who now
lies dying at St. Vincent's Hospital,
where he was taken by a service am
bulance. '
The authorities think that one of the
men in the rear coach mistook Barron
for an officer and shot him.
Early this morning Barron yielded
to continued Importunities by the de
tectives and stated that he boarded the
train at Portland with the Intention of
stealing a ride.

Albee Issues Ban Against Immodest
Dress After Sightseeing Round
of Bis Department Stores.
Mayor Albee yesterday afternoon
dered Police Chief Clark to have his
men arrest every woman found wear
ing an ."X-ray" dress on- the streets.
The Mayor said the order must go intn
effect Immediately.
The action of the chief executive fol
lowed his observations during a trip
about the downtown district. Mayor
Albee saw the objectionable gowns at
short range, and, hastening to the City
Hall, called up the chief.
The question of whether a gown is
really, an "X-ray" or otherwise ob
Jectionable is to be left to the judg
ment of the policeman who views it.
The order Includes all kinds of feminine
attire that might be termed immodest
necks cut too low and sheath skirts
too much "sheathed."
Also it was made plain' to Chief.
Clark that it must make no differ
ence who the woman is found wearing
an objectionable gown. No matter
whether she is "way up" in society or
hails from the North End, the "pinch'
must be made just the same.
Last night unmarried members of the
Portland police force were giving more
attention to dresses than they ever did
before.

Secretary Say lie AVUl Lecture
Whenever He Gets Chance.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Secretary
Bryan made a formal statement today
about plans for his lecture tours.
"There has not been the slightest
change in my plans and I have no
thought of abandoning lecturing," said
he. "I expect to lecture just as I
said I would and for the reasons that
I gave. I take it for granted that
I will have a chance to take a vaca
tion just as other officials have, and
during my vacation I expect to lecture
as my needs may require.
The only reason why my lecture
dates have been canceled during the
last three weeks is because I have
felt that I should remain here owing
to the work that the Department has
It hard." 1

deportation on the ground that he is an
undesirable alien and extradition on a
warrant charging him with bribery.
The warrant, already ' issued jn New

of conspiracy, will not suffice to ex

methods" used by Americans, and he
cited the causes which led to the In

ITofessor Prince, of Canada, and Pro
fessor David Starr Jordan, for the

PENDLETON. Or.. Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) Secretary of the Interior Lane
closed a busy day by addressing a
representative gathering of Eastern
Oregon n-.en in the Pendleton Commer
cial Club tonight. The address fol
lowed an automobile ride over the
Umatilla reservation and an early ban.
quet'at the St. George Hotel.
Never before has such universal
gratification attended the visit of an
Interior Department head in this sec
tion. It was a day of triumph for the
settlers on the main Umatilla project
at Hermlston and for all who are in
terested in the proposed West Umatilla
extension, the fate of which has hith
erto been highly problematical.
Imatllla Settlers Rejoice.
Mr. Lane's positive assurance that
the order for the putting through of
the West extension shall stand caused
rejoicing throughout Umatilla and
Morrow Counties, and the Pendleton
gathering developed Into a general cel.
ebration.
It was further Indicated by Mr. Lr.s
that he will do all in his power to pusl. '
through the entire. West "-extension f'.
50,00 acres just as soon as tha in;?.!
unit of 10,900 acres is completed.
Project i Be Enlarged.
The plan is to enlarge the present
irrigation project of 3000 acres to 10,
000 acres, which will be irrigated from
a diversion dam to be built just be
low Hermlston. When this land is
watered the other 40,000 acres will be .
irrigated by means of a great storage'
reservoir to be built on the Umatilla
River two miles above Hermlston.
This Is a radical change from the
original plan, which took in valuable
land. The proposed site will cover
only salt grass and alkali lands, wihch
otherwise would be virtually useless.
Money Available for L'alt.
The Secretary made three specific
statements of prime Importance to the
settlers.
First, that $800,000, which lie bad set
aside, would be spent as fast as needed
on the first unit of the extension.
Second, that he would "take care of
the settlers on deferred payments" and
would give them as long time as the
limit of reclamation act would permit.
Third, that he would send experts to
investigate the question of water and
would see that each settler got suffi
cient water.
Bill Holders Must Divide.
Mr. Lane made his promise as to the
extension contingent upon the agree
ment of the large land holders to di
vide and sell their holdings in small
units. Mr. Lane indicated strongly
that he does not propose to permit
big landed proprietors to receive the
benefit of the Government's project
development, and that he proposes to
favor the small homesteader as
against the speculator.
Mr. Lane also said he would ask Con.
gress to provide for an issue of $30,
000,000 of irrigation .bonds to be used
for the completion of the projects now
under way because there is work ahead
for $75,000,000. and there is only $35,
000,000 available from the sale of
Government lands and repayments on
projects already built.
Oregon . to Ciet Fair Deal.
. Oregon, said he, has not received
a proportionate share of the reclama
tion fund and be proposes to see (hat
this state in the future is treated
fairly.
"Oregon has contributed about
$9,000,000 and has received little of the
portion to which it is rightfully en
titled." he said. "I intend to take care
of you from now on."
Mr. Lane urged the people of Oregon
to write to their United States Sen
ators on the questions vitally affecting
the state, "so they will know what the
big mind is thinking and wants."
He said there never has been an
Administration so untrammeled and
unpledged as the present one. "Our
purposes are honest, our aims high
and I think that the people of the
country feel tnai we mean to do our
best to solve the great problems which
the Nation faces." he said.
Mr. Lane was vigorously applauded.
Secretary Visits Reservation.
Colonel J. II. Raley was toastmaster
at the banquet and presided at the
meeting In the Commercial Club. About
23 Hermlston men attended.
C. S. Jackson, of Portland, and others
also spoke briefly. The Secretary ar
rived here from Hermlston at 5 o'clock.
A body of Pendleton citizens welcomed
Mr. Lane at the depot. Mrs. Lane was
not In the party, having left the Secre
tary to visit relatives and friends in
