Frank Meyer, Who Said He Would Fight for Kaiser, and Julias rel wiiE Slated for Detention. Federal authorities in Portland ar doing a rushing business in the mat ter of heading alien enemies toward internment camps. Since Saturday morning 14 unnaturalized Germans have been arrested in the city, and eight of these are now definitely sched uled to land in internment quarters as a result of their admissions and the re ceipt of telegraphic orders from Wash ington. Yesterday messages from Washing ton authorized internment for duration of the war of Frank Meyer, who brought his detention about by assert ing in his questionnaire answers and under examination that he would fight for the Kaiser if given the chance: and Julius Helwig. automobile salesman and member of the Portland Rowing Club. Helwig had. according to his own admissions, transgressed the alien enemy act in going closer than one half mile to the Armory and in cross ing bridges of the city in an automo bile. He said he did not want to dis close his nationality and status by seeking a permit to do these things. Telegraphic internment orders au thorizing the holding of Julius Harazin, Harry Sharp, Emil Klein. John Vogel. Herman Brown and Robert Bjeker have arrived from Washington. Until the documentary internment orders arrive from Washington through the mails, these eight men are being held in the County JaiL Six others, arrested Saturday in a raid on the Mar tin Hotel, await investigation of their cases.

DELICATESSEN IS INVADED Mrs. Salina Strong Compelled to Sit Motionless While" Masked Bandit Ransacks Till and Escapes With Six Dollars. Two daring robberies last night on the West Side are credited to the mys terious "Automatic Man," as he is dubbed by the police. For daring and dramatic qualities, his exploits rival those filmed at Universal City or fea tured in Diamond Dick literature. The rohber terrorized two women in a West Side home on upper AVashing ton street and pilfered a valuable dia mond ring. Shortly after another esca pade, the daring of which characterized it as being by the same bandit, was staged at the Imperial Delicatessen, on Broadway, a small amount of money being taken. . Diamond Valued at 9475. While Mrs. Ivan Humason and Mrs. E. J. Jeffery were having an after-dinner chat In the living-room of the Jeffery home, at 641 Washington street, last night, a masked robber entered the room and demanded money. When told they had none, he made Mrs. Humason give him a diamond ring he had seen flashing on her finger. Then he made his escape with the gem, which is valued at $475. The robber entered by the kitchen of the residence, which is one of the well known dwellings on upper Washington streeL Grace Opperman, a maid, of whom he first asked money, thought he was Joking. When convinced she had none, the robber made his way to the front of the house where the two women were visiting. E. J. Jeffery, Jr., and W. F. Paulson, his brother-in-law, had just left the house. Rune Frightens Intruder. Mrs. Humason's presence of mind probably prevented a search of the premises by the intruder. "Where are the boys?" she asked of Mrs. Jeffery, just as the robber demanded her dia mond. The thief, evidently frightened by the question, grabbed the ring and ran front the house. Traffic Patrolman Goldstone. who first was called in, and detectives who were later assigned to the case, re ceived a good description of the robber from Mrs. Humason and Mrs. Jeffery. They believe the robber Is responsible for other recent holdups. Mrs. Humason is the wife of a prom inent real estate dealer, and lives at 29 Twentieth street North, next door to the Jeffery home. Shortly after 9 o'clock a man entered the Imperial Delicatessen Store r.t 266 Broadway, between Madison- and Jef fer.son streets, menaced Mrs. Salina Strong, who was alone in the store, and compelled her to sit motionless and in silence while he quickly ran sacked the place for money. Accord ing to Mrs. Strong, he got only $6 from the till before he left. Mrs. Strong was able to volunteer a good description of the man. which tallied exactly with that furnished by Mrs. Humason and Mrs. Jeffery. Both Robberies Daring. He is described as about 26 years of age, height 5 feet 6 or 7 inches, weight IJu pounds, smooth chaven, slim face. and speaking with a German accent. He wore a slouch black hat and a very light gray suit of Summer weight. un his first visit the thief wore a brown domino mask, which was not in evidence in the second case. He carried and displayed the same gun, a 32-cali-ber automatic pistol. The bold burglar, through his using this type of weapon in recent robberies, has become known to the police department as the "Auto matic Man." The prompt work of the police department in dispatching traf fic patrolmen and detectives ,to the scenes of the two robberies possibly prevented a third burglary. WILLAMETTE RIVER RISES Storms South and In Vicinity of Al bany Flood Stream. ALBANY, Or.. Dec. 24. (Special.)
