12? THE SUNDAY OHEGOMAN. PORTLAND. APRIL 5, 1903. J. C. MANN VICTIM OF BOLD ROBBERS Grocer and Clerks Held Up in Store and Relieved of $200. FIREMEN JOIN IN CHASE Women See Ixxit Taken at Point of Gun, but Make No effort to Give the Alarm Police Are Notified. Two masked hold-up men, with drawn revolvers, entered the grocery store of J. C. Mann, Grand avenue and Hassalo street, at 10:30 o'clock last night, and onder threat of death kept the proprietor and his three clerks from making any resistance while they took from the cash register more than $;eo. The Intruders escaped with their loot and have not been captured. The escape of '.he robbers was made only after a sensational chase, in which they were pursued by the members or En gine Company No. 13, of the Fire Depart ment, whose Quarters are near the Mann store. Four or five women who were standing on the corner opposite the store watched the proceedings of the robbers hut made no outcry nor any attempt to warn people In the vicinity that a crime was being committed. Ftour Men In Store. The hold-up, which is the first that has been reported to the police for several weeks, was marked by cool dellberate ness and daring. In the store at the time were Mr. Mann and Everett Holts. Frank t!son and Will Walker, three clerks. Mr. Mann and his assistants were pre paring to close the store, and were grouped about the cash register checking up the day's business, when the robbery was committed. The two men. who had evidently been watching for tills opportunity, rushed In with their faces masked and revolvers In their hands. The cash register is about half way back In the store and this dis tance from the front door was covered by the robbers on the run. They brand ished their weapons and threatened their victims fiercely. The proprietor and his clerks put up their hands as bidden and stood without moving an Inch. One of the robbers then thrust his re volver Into his pocket and walked behind the counter to the cash register, while hie accomplice stood guard over the four men. The exact amount in the register was unknown, but from the tally made afterwards it contained more than fcW. After pocketing this money, the robber searched the proprietor and his clerks, turning their pockets inside out, and tak ing from each a little change. Firemen Senreli District. This done, the Intruders backed out of t ho front door and turned east on Hassalo street, where they broke Into a run. At the next cornet they turned south toward Sullivan's tVilch. which was t lie last seen of them. Mr. Mann and lis companions rushed to the street and shouted loudly for help, but no policeman was In the vicinity. The cries of the men attracted' the attention of the firemen in Engine No. 1.1." only a short distance away. The firefighters turned out in a body and beat the neighborhood for many blocks around but found no trace of the fugitives. Pome one tele phoned the police station, and within 11) or 15 minutes four detectives were on the scene making an investigation. A remarkable feature of the robbery wi..i that tile entire affair was witnessed by the party of women, who were ap parently on their way to their homes in the neighborhood. They stopped and saw- all that was done, but save no alarm. The front of the Mann store is almost entirely of glass, and those Inside the store have an unobstructed vlw of the street and opposite side walk. After the robbers had fled the wom en went unconcerned on their way. Tile robbers are described as fairly well cress-'d and as easily recognizable. One was short and the other tall. The short man. who took the money, was about 5 feet 2 inches, weighed about. lt0 pounds, wore Hght-gray hat. light-colored overcoat and gray suit: was light complexioned. Tall man was of dark complexion; wore j black slouch hat. black suit, no over coat, was about 5 feet 10 inches, and weighed about 1?0 pounds. other states were making approprl ! atlons for the support of their state Institutions. Oregon has been giving most pitiful sums. "The $15.000 appropriation is not an excessive appropriation when the re sources and wealth of Oregon are con sidered. By the individual the payment of the tax to produce this J125.000 Is not felt at all. If Oregon is to maintain a university that Is a credit to the state, the people must support this appropria tion. 1 do not believe that the voters will deliberately place Oregon In the col umn of unprogresslve states." Mr. Talmer, the champion of the refer endum's measure. In reply to Mr. Beach, declared that the l.lnn County Council was not actuated with unfriendly motives toward the State fnlverslty. but were working In behalf of the people and for the common schools of the state. He pointed out that the youths of the state received yearly an average of only SI. 57. or $247,159 In all. through state funds, outside of the money derived from regu lar and special taxes. We contend." he said, "tiiat the pub lic school Is the foundation of all our edu cational institutions, and as such should receive better treatment. The people of the districts have to build their own schoolhouses and levy local taxes for their support, with the assistance re ceived from the county and the $1.57 from the state. A girl or boy finishes the eighth grade at about 14 or 15 years of age. and the chance for further educa tion end's, for many parents cannot af ford to send their children away to a high school. "Our object Is to organize and maintain union high schools throughout this coun try and bring to the doors of the farm ers better facilities for higher education than are afforded at present. We pro pose to establish these union high schools with manual training departments for the practical Instruction of our boys and girls who cannot be sent away from their homes for that purpose. We object to this continuous appropriation without it being specified for what purpose it Is to be used. "Then, again, we are opposed to the duplication of courses at the Ptate T'ni versity and at the Agricultural College. If this duplication were eliminated not nearly so much money would be needed. Should the University orf Oregon need more buildings, the Legislature will at tend to that." Mr. Palmer spoke of the log-rolling that was done to secure the appropria tion, which he said was wrong. He de clared that the quotations from news papers throughout the country and read by Mr. Beach in his remarks were sent out from Oregon to mislead the public abroad as to the true situation. He said further: "Not 1 per cent of the people of Ore gon gets any benefit from the University of Oregon, but It Is not the desire of the Orange Council to cripple the university. We want to see It prosper along with other institutions. We see no reason for raising the $47,500 anpropriation to $15.000. and we shall continue to demand more for the many, and less for the few."

CLUB WiriS FROM TRI CITY PLAYERS Multnomah Has Easy Time Shutting Out the West Side Team. I PI AYS RII T-FDRFD RAM Ieajrne Xlne Lands Klght lilts on Morris, but Is f liable to Score. Athletic Club Team Gets i Four Runs. 'S Manasrer 'Stump" Stott and his speedy balltopsers representing the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club played rlngrs. circles and various other circumferences around the "West Port land Tri-Clty Leagruers at the Vaughn, street grounds yesterday afternoon. When the liune ended the clubmen had annexed 14 eaJfe binaries and tallied four runs, whLle the opposing nine failed to negotiate a tally In spite of Its eight hits. Kd Morris occupied the slab for the winged "M", and assisted by splen did fielding tin the part of his team mates, succeeded In disposing of the leaguers In the most handy manner. Aside from the steady work of the pitcher, each individual member of the club nine played gilt-edged ball, and the efforts of tho West Siders In the task of acctunulating scores proved futile. Murphy's Hit Brings Huns. Multnomah started the fireworks in the second inning when "Chet" Mur phy drove out a corking single, chas ing Bob Rlnser and Dick Jones over the pan. Ringer hd walked after Campbell had negotiated first and while the latter was being put out, Jones was safe at first. Then came Murphy with his timely wallop. The other two runs came In the eighth Inning. Captain McCleilan and Cass Campbell singled neatly and both came home w3ien Dick Jones doubled to center field. Tills brought the total to four, but Kotteman was lucky in holding the runs down to that number. In one inning Multnomah secured three hits, but was unable to score. Ash Houstom, who played second base for the West Portland team, se cured four hite out of four times at bat and two of the swats were for extra bases. He led off In the seventh Inning with a three-base drive to deep center, but mas caught off the base a moment later by a quick throw from Morris to Marphy. Larry Antolne. the West Portland catcher, playrd a splendid game, and his' throwing to second, was one of the features of the contest. Sim Bennett, the diminutive left fielder of the club team, distinguished himself by making four running catches. The -Score In Detail. The score -of yesterday's game Is as follows: MULTNOMAH. A.B. R.

The dis cussion was under the charge of Mrs. H. U Va!l. Grange lecturer, for the purpose of bringing out information on both sides, but no action was taken. Mr. Beach spoke first and said: "The, Importance of this measure, in my judgment, is greater than other measures now before the people. I have no special interest In the State Uni versity other than what every citizen should have, but I do have an Intense state pride. I would save the state from the painful humiliation that awaits It if the appropriation made by the last Legislature Fhould be defeated titid our university crippled. A I ready Ort gon Is gaining a most unenviable leputalion because this appropriation has been put in jeopardy through the referendum. , "Not only that, but the initiative and referendum law is being brought into disrepute in states that had con templated its adoption. The people of these states hesitate about adopting a measure that will make it possible to cripple a great Institution of higher education.

You can tell them when you see them, be cause they look different, are different, from others. They look different because they look better; have better style, finish and general make-up. They are differ-, ent, because they are better, in. detail; of construction and material. A few of these details are : ' Special Staver Fifth Wheel Brewster pattern, used for years without a single complaint or particle of trouble. The bearing is directly over the center of the axle, which is the pivotal point. There is little or no weight on the circle of the fifth wheel, which makes it turn f re'ely and easily. Special Staver Long-Distance Axles with adjustable nut to take up the wear. You can adjust it just as you would a ball-bearing axle. It is a special Staver feature which, understood and properly used, you will appreciate. It has espe cially soft, easy-riding springs. You buy a buggy to ride in, and many of them ride like lumber wagons. The Staver rides easy, because the springs are made to special forms, and of higher grade and quality of steel, that has life and elasticity, which gives to the Staver these eas3r-riding qualities not found in other vehicles similarly priced. Streator Top-Lowering Device, by means of which you can drop top from the inside by pulling a lever at your right hand. This is handy for dropping the top when the side-curtains are on. You can also drop the top by breaking one joint on. .the side. You don't have to go around the job to break the one on the other side. This is also a special' Staver feature, not found on others. The Staver Tops are exceptionally well made. Back-stays are lined with genuine buckram, with a brass ribbon to take the pull of the top. 'They are made with a welted seam, which puts the stitches inside, away from the weather, where the stitching will not rot, as in the case of all other ordinary tops made with the lap seam, the stitches exposed. Besides these features, there is good quality of material and the best of workman ship used throughout. If you buy a Staver Buggy, you get a buggy that is good enough for a King. A Staver Buggy is good enough for anybody, no matter what his position, wealth or calling, and yet the prices are reasonable. Call at either of our two stores. FIRST AND TAYLOR STREETS E.
