FULTON SHED IS SCENE Pistols Fired Through Window After L. H. Thompson, Mutornutu, Evades Thug, Whose Revolver Fails Hobber May Die. -''A highwayman, who said he was John Brown, was shot and probably fatally injured by L. H. Thompson, motorman on tho Riverview street car line in an attempted holdup of the car on the Taylor's Ferry road at 9 o'clock last night. Brown is in the Good Samaritan .Hospital with a bullet in his abdomen. Motorman Thompson and Conductor W. E. Mosher had just completed their run and stopped the car in the shed at the end of the Fulton car line when the highwayman entered. The man sat in a seat in the car for a while, and Mosber supposed he was a passenger., "You fellows stick up your hands!" he demanded when the two carmen were near each other in the front end of the car. Jlosher and Thompson threw up their hands at the point of the highwayman's gun, but Thompson almost immediately stepped through the open door to the motorman's platform. Pistol Duel Fought. The highwayman pulled the trigger when he saw Thompson was trying to elude him. His revolver snapped. Then followed a duel. Thompson got off the car and tried to run around to the other side. The robber fired through a window at him, but missed. Thompson made his way to the other side of the car and fired through a window at the outlaw inside. Me also missed. The highwayman then rushed to the rear of the car and climbed down. On the side next to the Taylor's Kerry road a steep embankment runs along only a few feet from the car track. With the car standing at the shed there is barely room for a man to pass be tween the car and the embankment. Highwayman Is Shot. The motorman and the highwayman were in this dark space between the car and the bank. Thompson got first sight of his man and fired. The high wayman dropped with a groan. Mosher and Thompson then lifted the man into the car, went to a telephone and called the police station. Theywere told to wait at the end of the line until policemen arrived. Patrolman Crane and Nutter and As . sistant City Physician Rice hurried to the scene and took the wounded high way man to the hospital, where It was paid his chances for recovery were slight. Thompson and Mosher were re quested to report at the police station to give full particulars of the shooting as soon as they could be relieved from their "run." The wounded robber gave his name as John Brown. He was roughly dressed and had no mark of identifi cation on nis person. Although weak from loss of blood he was still con scious and talked freely to the police as he rode to the hospital. Victim Blames Poor Gun. "Where did you get that gun?" he was asked. . "Oh." he replied, "I've had it a long time. It's a d poor gun. It snapped on me." The man would tell nothing about his past that would give the police a clew s to his identity. He said he could not get work and decided to "try my luck at this game just once." Inside the man's hat was a white mask, but he did not have it over his eyes when he tried to hold up the street car men. The man is said to answer the description of one who held up the saloon of William Margulis in the same vicinity a month ago. ' Motorman Thompson lives at 747V Roosevelt street. When he came to the police station last night he was com plimented by the police for his pluck in resisting the highwayman. JOHN C.

The fall of the Belgian City of Namur was due largely to tne work or Oerman spies, according to a Times correspondent in Belgium. 'One of the principal features of Namur's defenses was the River Meuse," says the correspondent in analyzing the fall of the city. "The Germans, assisted by spies, managed to open the tidegates of the Meuse, thus owering its waters, which were ex tremely deep. They then were able to cross the river. 'When the Namur commander saw that resistance was Impossible without reinforcements he tried to. rally all the forces from the outlying forts to the main points of defense, but owing to the work of spies, he found his under ground tlephone system destroyed. He was thus unable to direct irts-campalgn or to summon reinforcements. "As the result of the crippling of the telephone lines, each regiment was compelled to fight its wayout of Na mur separately with heavy losses. If the garrison had remained 12 hours longer not a man or gun would have been able to join the allies. As a mat ter of fact only 12,000 of the garrison of 25.000 escaped. "The German attack on Namur was opened with 17-inch siege guns, which were brought Into position under cover of a cavalry -(screen. The older guns of the forts w'ere powerlass even to reply. Korts Maizeret, Marchovelette, Audoy and Cognelle were all destroyed nd burned, with every man of their garrison." RESORTS TO FACE FIRE CLACKAMAS GRAND JUHT MAY OPE! FRIARS' CLUB AXD HOTEL CASES.

With a one day lay oft Thursday, he hopes to have the world s champions on edge for the opening contest of the world's series against the Boston Nationals Friday.

WAR KINDLES RELIGION Valor of Priests Ends Talk of ical Peril" In France. 'Cler- LONDON, Oct. 4. "One result of the war has been a distinct religious revival in France," says the Paris cor respondent of the Times. His dispatch continues: "The so-called 'clerical peril' has dis appeared from popular imagination. everywhere priests have been dis tinguished for their heroism and patriotic devotion. Several have died on the field of battle and others are showing great devotion as chaplains and in attending the wounded." The Times, in an editorial today, says: "No feature of the war has been more striking than the religious feeling that it has evoked. We shall be surprised if the war and pro-spiritual emotions It has kindled are not attended by a quickening and .deepening of the reli gious feeling in England, as well as in France." - lor Y PRAYS PEACE Vancouver Troops Bow Heads to Ask End of War.

Young, and assisted by their chaplain, James Ossewaarde, bowed their heads in earnest prayer that world-wide peace may come upon the earth, and be a reality. Their officers, who in daily duty and drill shout quick terse commands, were there, but their voices gave vent to song.

OLD MEN AND WOMEN WORK Mrs. A. G. Bachrodt, Back From Her Birthplace in Sclileswig-Holsteln, Tells of Hardships on Voy age Back to America. "The great manufacturing centers of Germany are like cities of the dead. Not a wheel turns in the factories, great fields of grain bend to the ground but there is not a soul to reap. Every man from 17 to 50 years old is fighting in the great armies of the Fatherland you can never realize the situation In America." Mrs. A. G.

Mrs. Bachrodt ar rived on the Beaver from San Fran cisco, after a return voyage which has few parallels. She was In Hamburg when - 250,000 soldiers left for France, and described the continuous parade of battalion after battalion as they melted away into the earthy background. "t nifortnH Disguise Number." "A few hundred yards away you could not tell whether there were 100 soldiers or 10,000, for their colorless uniforms, with not even a button flash ing In the sun. cannot be distinguished from the earth itself," she said. She was also In Hamburg August 29, when the sons of Hamburg, 3000 in number, ranging In ages from 17 to 20 years, marched to the cathedral and city hall to receive their oath of al legiance to the Fatherland. While the factories are closed, except for those which are grinding out war munitions, the women and children of Germany are generally well cared for said the returned traveler. Many of the large factories are giving free homes, light and fuel and are matching with private donations the government pensions to all families whose husbands are at the front. AVomca Sweep Streets. Though the old men, children and women are attempting to- gather the crops, they are under a great handicap and the hardships are many, said Mrs. Bachrodt. Women are sweeping the streets and piloting the street cars, -while the citizenry left in the towns (since the last call, only those more than 60 years old remain) act as police men. Mrs. Bachrodt told in part of the privations of the Americans who are refugees from warring Europe. She obtained passage on the Uranium line's Prlnclpello from Rotterdam. The pas sage took 14 days, eight days of which were spent in a terrific storm, during which the inexperienced stewards were among the most sick and in which one American woman died.

All that kept order was the excellent behavior of the veteran officers, headed by Captain Francis Inch, hero of the Volturno disaster. Cheers Greet Statue of Liberty. 'The hearty cheers which greeted the statue of Liberty in New York Harbor made the American passengers feel, more than ever before, thankful that they owed allegiance to the Stars and Stripes." said Mrs. Bachrodt. "I wore a little American flag continu ously shortly after the war broke out. and it meant more to me than it ever had before. It meant peace and hap piness. Mrs. Bachrodt visited four brothers. Hans. Detlef, Claus and Christian Schroeder, who range in ages from 54 to u years, and a sister, Mrs. Katrina Oldefest. Two of her brothers are managers in the Alsen'sche Portland Cement 'Fabrlken near Hamburg, but the war had called all of their men to the front and had resulted In tho confiscation of all but three of tho 40 horsed owned by the firm.
