Bigelow and Victor Man , Trailer Recaptured Alter Chase for Several Blocks Woman on " Street Hysterical at Shots. Arrested as suspects in connection with the Oregon City interurban train holdup Sunday night, two men made a dash for liberty Just as they arrived at the Courthouse late yesterday. Deputy Constable McCullough was forced to fire three shots to stop one of them. The other was captured and overpowered by Deputy Constable Nicholson. - One of the .nen said his name was Harry Reed. Later he told the of ficers his true name was Victor Man wailer. The other gave the name of P. W Bigelow. Both are held in the County Jail pending further investiga tion. Lou Wagner, special agent of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, last night could not positively identify the men as the two who held up the train. Their actions, unex plained to 'the satisfaction of officers, are being made the subject of a rigid investigation. - Paymeat In Change Reported. - Tom F. Cowing, automobile driver for the county, was hailed by Man waller and Bigelow yesterday morning near Fairview. The men asked to be taken to Portland, or to the end of a carline. When they arrived at the end of the Rose City Park carline. Cowing stopped his machine. They told him to go on. ., At Twenty-eighth street and Sandy boulevard the men got out They paid Cowing $1 in nickels and dimes, which aroused the driver's suspicions. Man waller gave Cowing 15 cents extra "to buy a cigar with." Cowing reported the actions of the two men to Deputy Constable Nichol iion, who, with Deputy McCullough, started to search for the pair of sus pects. They were found in a rooming house at Grand avenue and .Stark streets, put in the automobile, and taken to the Courthouse. Dash for Freedom Made. No sooner had Cowing stopped his car at the Fourth-street entrance than both men leaped to the ground and made a dash for liberty, one running in each direction. Bigelow turned up Salmon street and north on Fifth street, hotly pur sued by Deputy McCullough. The street was clear of vehicles and pe destrians and he seixed his revolver and fired at the fleeing man. This created some excitement. . A woman who was pushing a baby carriage along Fifth street, near the officer, became hysterical. The car riage tipped over and the baby fell cut. The mother rushed Into the atreet and flung herself on the officer. "Don't kill my baby! Don't kill my baby!" she screamed. Meanwhile the child, unhurt, was smiling innocently at the performance. Policeman Stop Flight. BIgelow's dash down the street was halted in front of the Art Museum at Fifth and Taylor streets. There he collided with a policeman, whose name, in the excitement, was not learned. The policeman and the sus pect both went down, and for a brief period . struggled desperately in the atreet. . Then Bigelow was over powered. Meanwhile .Manwailer had tried a dash through the Plaza block, across Fourth street from the Courthouse. When he tried to hurdle the chain fence his foot caught and he went sprawling. Before he regained his feet. Deputy Constable Nicholson's 200 pounds descended on him and he was pinned to earth. - At the County Jail the two men are aid to have told conflicting stories, contradicting themselves on many points. At first they denied being near Fairview yesterday morning, but when confronted by Cowing, they admitted It. They declared they walked there from the end of the Montavilla line after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Clackamas Officials at Work. j Special Agent Wagner and City De tectives Tichenor and Leonard tried to Identify the men, bnt were not able to do so last night. Mr. Wagner, up to the time of the arrest of Bigelow and Manwailer, had been working on an other clew as to the identity of one of the. holdup men. Sherif Wilson and Nonstable Frost. of Oregon City, scoured the vicinity of the holdup near Glen Echo station yesterday morning. Deputy Sheriff Phillips, Lou Wagner, J. Roach and W. P. LIUis, special gents of the streetcar company, also visited the scene of the robbery. Mr. Wagner said last night he had not been able to get accurate figures as to the amount loot carried away by the robbers, but did not believe it would reach $100. Mr. Wagner did not cease his efforts on other clews with the arrest of Man waller and Bigelow yesterday, and in timated that another arrest might be expected this morning.

Dancing at meals may become a fad 1n the dining-rooms of Portland's prin cipal hotels, as it now is in many other cities. A delegation of business men, headed by Will Lipman and J. C. Eng lish, yesterday held a conference with the City Council at which the Council was urged to amend the present dan cing ordinance so that the dining-room dances will be permitted. It is declared that Portland is los ing a vast amount of tourist business by its prohibition of dining-room dan ting. It is said the visitors who are U3ed to the entertainment in the East hurry away from Portland because they want to dance.- They rush on to Se attle or other cities where they can mix a fox trot in with their meals. Business men declare that, as a result or this pass-by which Portland gets, the city is losing thousands of dollars a year. - "The dances are permitted in all .the principal cities," saitl Mr. Lipman at yesterday's meeting.
