Knipire, at Fourth and GUsan, la
Scene of Robbery Thug E-
cpe in Terminal Yards,
"Two Shots Miss.
His fare concealed behind a black mask,
a lone, outlaw, leveling a revolver, dashed
into the Empire saloon, at Fourth and
jlisan frtre-ets, at 9:15 o'clock last night,
com pelted five, men In the resort to throw
up their hands and as they stood in line
he forced the bartender to pour the entire
contents of the cash register into a small
canvas bag hs tossed on to the bar. The
htghwayman then backed from the saloon,
pulled the mask from his face as he
reached the door and fled toward the
terminal yards. The bartender Henry
Hoogham, fired two shots at him with
out effect.
A few moments beiorc the hold-up
was enacted the thus appeared at the
front door of the saloon, and, survey
ing: the surroundings for a moment,
he stepped back into the street.
Hougham, the bartender, was sus
picious and confided 1; is fears to cus
tomers standing at the bar. Hardly
had he spoke when the highwayman
n train appeared. at the front door, this
time his face hidden by a mask. He
carried a revolver In hie right hand
and in his left a small canvas bag:.
Walking briskly to the center of the
saloon and pointing the pistol . at
Hougham behind the bar, he said:
"Put all your money In this bag."
"You fellows," he said, turning to the
patrons who lounged about the room,
"come up here and Btick up your
hands." All obeyed, save Thomas Mac
Jreagor, the agred porter .of the place,
who sat several feet away reading a
paper, unconscious of the outlaw's
presence. This angered the outlaw,
and. walking over to MacGregor, he
struck him several times on the head
with the butt of his pistol. Mac
;;regor then stood in line, hands
upraised, with the others.
In the meantime Hougham bad scraped
nil the money out of the cash register
and laid it on the b;ir. Assorting sev
eral checks from the heap of money be
fore him, the highwayman ordered
Hougham to dump the pile of change
into the bag. Then the thug backed
slowly to the front door, and quickly
pulling tho mask from his fwee, dashed
out into tho street and scurried into the
darkness of the terminal yards. Re
covering from his fright,. Hougham ran
to the front door and fired two ehota at
the fleeing outlaw, but missed him.
The police wero notified and in ten
minutes a squad of blueccats and de
tectives under the direction of Chief of
Police Cox were combing the railroad
yards for the fugitive. No trace of him
was found.
The method of operation of the high
wayman last nijtht conforms closely with
the 'tactics followed in the robbery of
three other saloons In the city in the
past week.
F. S. Hughes, an adjuster In the claim
department of the Portland Railway.
Electric Light & Power Co., reported to
the police at 11 o'clock last night that
he had been accosted by two highway
men on Bast Fifty-ninth street, near
Mount Tabor reservoir, and robbed of 17
and his $25 overcoat.
Both holdups, Hughes asserts, poked
Runs in hla face. After rifling his pockets
they commanded him to divest himself
of his recently purchased overcoat. Owing
to the darkness the victim was unable
to discern their features. He described
them as being "lanky and short" in
stature. y

MEXICO'S FEKI.IXO CORDIAL.
Xicaraguaii Affairs Too Small to
Hother About, Says Creel.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. Mexico's
policy of peace and her relations with
the L'nited .states concerning the Nica
raguan and all other International sub
jects was the subject of a statement
today by Knilque Creel, confidential
agent of the Mexican government. Senor
Cneel made the following statement to
the Associated l'ress:
"Mexico h;is no intention of having
any war with Uuateniala or rrith any
other country. Our policy is one of
pence, and our relaiiuus wita every
country are most cordial.
"Mexico has not made any representa
tions to tho State Department to up
hold the Zelaya administration. ;ot
word has been said to me by the state
Department concerning tho life of Gen
eral Zelaya or a safe conduct for nim
out of Nicaragua.
"So far there has been no expression
by the State Department of differences
of opinion from the Mexican views.
"The relations of Mexico and the
Vnlted States have never been more
cordial, and this Issue 'of Nicaragua is
too small an affair to change cither the
policy or the feelings of the govern
ments and the peoples of the two great
republics."
"There Is absolutely no friction be
tween the l'nited states and Mexico."
This statement was made at the State
Department today by high officials,
who added that Governor Knrique
Creel, of Chihuahua, who is In Wash
ington as the political representative
of President Dlhi of Mexico, has been
treated at all times with the greatest
courtesy and consideration and that
the negotiations between Mexico and
the United States regarding Nicara
guan matters were being conducted
w-ith extreme friendliness and consid
eration on both Rides.
Neither Secretary Knox nor Assist
ant Secretary Wilson was at the State
Department today. It is understood
they left for New York this morning
to return on Monday.
ZELAYA S COURSE FORECASTED
Believed He Will Exact In Blood and
Tears What He Thinks Due.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18. In 'Central
American diplomatic circles no surprise
was expressed tonight at the reported
action of Zelaya and his adherents im-
.prisoning and torturing political prisoners
now crowding the penitentiaries of Nica
ragua. It has been predicted that Zela
ya would wreak a saturnine vengeance
on those who opposed him and who bad
fallen beneath his power and that this
vengeance would be withheld until the
time came when he foresaw his downfall.
"Zelaya is vindictive and his cruelty
is a by-word in our part of the world,"
said a Central American diplomat tonight.
"That he will exact in blood and tears
all that he believes is due him. no one
who knows him will doubt for a moment.
Such stories of his persecutions as have
been received here officially lead us to
'believe he has inaugurated a reign of
terror mat would make Moro blush.
Up to a late hour Dr. Castrillo. rep
resentatlve in Washington of the revo
lutionary government, had received no
advice from Nicaragua and no authen
tic dispatches had been received by
otner diplomats. None, however, ex
pressed the slightest doubt that Zelaya
had begun to exact his revenge.
The troopship Buffalo is expected to
reach Corinto tomorrow, when the 600
United States marines aboard will be
available in case alarming reports are
received.
It was said at the Navy Department
tonight that the marines would remain
aboard until others are dispatched from
here. No delay will be experienced in
transmitting reports from the Buffalo
nor in sending instructions to the Buf
falo for the disposition of the men
aboard, for the vessel is equipped with
wireless, as are the Albany, Yorktown
and Vicksburg, the three war vessels
now lying in the harbor of Corlnto.
In case the marines are landed at
Corinto, the Yorktown probably will
tane up its station In the Gulf of Fon
seca, some miles north of Corinto. This
will be done in order that the vessel
may act as a relay wireless station.
VASQUEZ IjEARNS RESIGNATION
Meeting Between Him and Estrada
Is Arranged.
BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, Dec. 18.
Messages sent by General Estrada,
leader of the revolutionists, carrying:
news of Zelaya's resignation, reached
General Vasquez, at the head of the
Zelayan troops, last night. General
Vasquez at once agreed to a conference.
The public and soldiers are showing
little excitement, but are indulging in
much speculation as to the outcome of
the meeting between the representa
tives of the two generals.
The United States ship Eagle Is ex
pected here tomorrow, and her light
draft will permit anchoring outside the
lagoon to guard the customs-house, al
though an attack here is not expected.
MEXICO MAY NOT SEND BOAT
Belief in Washington Concerning
Attitude Causes Comment.
MEXICO CITY. Dec. 18. The Mexican
gunboat Guerrero may not go to Corinto.
Minister Gonzales Gosio tonight said he
had not ordered the vessel to sail, nor
had he been instructed to issue such an
order. He admitted, however, that the
gunboat is ready to sail.
The reports from Washington that the
act would doubtless ba regarded as un
friendly occasioned considerable com
ment in this city. V
STOPS CAUSE OF DELAY
V. F. WOODWARD AVOCLD HAVE
. CARS HAIiT IESS OFTEN.
Declares If Alternate Corners Were
Stopping Points, Service Would
Be Much Improved.
As a means of increasing- the efficiency
of the street railway service in Portland.
William F. Woodward, of Woodard,
Clarke & Co., has proposed to B. S.
Josselyn, president of the Portland Hall
way. Light & Power Company, that in
the residence districts .all cars stop only
at every alternate street. In this way Mr.
Woodward beliees much of the delay in
the operation of cars, which now stop at
every block, a distance of 300 feet, can
be avoided. His proposal will not be acted
upon by Mr. Josselyn until the ideas of
the patrons of the company have been
ascertained.
"When heavily-loaded oars have to stop
every 200 feet, as they do now, it Is im
possible to maintain proper speed or
service." said Mr. Woodward yesterday.
"In the residence sections of many large
cities, cars stop at indicated points, some
& feet or more apart. Such a rule in
Portland would really cause but little in
convenience and would remove the prin
cipal cause of delay in the operation of
streetcars. The suggestion that the rule
I have proposed be adopted in this city
is offered in the hope that. If adopted. It
may aid us all in our traffic troubles,"
In presenting this suggestion to the
management of the street railway com
pany, the following correspondence has
passed between Mr. Woodward and Presi
dent Josselyn:
If not presuming- too much upon your good
nature the writer Is going to make the
suggestion as to car stoppage which may or
may not have been brought to your atten
tion before, but which you have undoubtedly
considered.
Our blocks are so short that stopping at
each corner, as you stated to the writer soifie
time ago, entails numerous unnecessary de
lays. Ooming down Broadway this morning.
I could not but note the inconsistent manner
in which pedestrians would saunter along,
waiting for the car to overtake them, al
lowing the procession to string out so the
car was obliged to stop at every crossing.
I do nut believe there would be many
complaints If the company established a mle
that ai'jps would only be ma.de at points
where the car tracks cross and other than
that at every other block. You are now
painting your poles white, to indicate the
side of the street on which the car stops
and this same method of marking could
apply to these intervening points. This
rule is followed in other cities- in even a
greater degree, that is. the stops are further
apart, especially in the residence district.
Am not sure that It would be possible within
the business section.
The writer has not the hardihood to pre
sent this In person. We took o much of
your own and your associates' time the other
day in our Interview that I shall not aay
mure than this written word.
President Josselyn's reply follows:
Many thanks for your thoushtfulness In
writing me under date of December 14 In
regard to having cars stop at every other
corner In the residence districts. Instead of
at every corner am now. This la a matter
that appeals to me very strongly, but would
trove a very unpopular innovation if Initi
ated by the company. If you could see your
way clear to give some publicity to your
recommendation, through the press or other
wise, over your personal signature, it would
t hen provoke d iscusskm In a manner that
would enable lis to agree thereto, and I
believe would remove much of the hos
tility that would follow a declaration of
ihatsj principle by the writer.

PLOT SEEN IN BILL
"White Slave" Regulation Op
posed in Congress.
STATE RIGHTS DEFENDED
Alabaman Declares Measure AVI 11 Iet
Down Bars to Federal Author
it y Committees Dispute
Jurisdiction.
WASHINGTON. Dec. IS. There will be
a vigorous minority report by four Dem
ocratic members of the House committee
on interstate and foreign commerce on
the Mann "white slave bill." which was
favorably acted upon by a majority of
that committee today.
The minority report, which will be
written by Representative Richardson of
Alabama, will assert that the whole sub
ject fe one to be handled by the immi
gration committee, that the Interstate
commerce committee has no jurisdic
tion and that the Mann bill, which aims
at the suppression of the traffic by
means of the regulation of interstate
commerce, is unconututional. -
The minority report will be signed by
Representatives Richardson of Alabama,
Bartlett of Georgia. Adamson of Geor
gia and Peters of Massachusetts.
"This ol?ce of legislation." said Repre
sentative Richardson today, "I charac
terize as the worst piece of cant and
hypocrisy that has lately been perpe
trated by the Republican party.
"Because the majority believes that it
is in relation to a subject upon which
we dare not object to any kind of regu
lation, they purpose to enact a law that j
lays down the bars,- as far as Invading 1
me rignts or states are concerned. If
this bill becomes a law the Federal Gov
ernment can go to any extent in en
forcing the morals and health of any
state."
FOOD LAW MORE DRASTIC
Department to Add laboratories for
Stricter Enforcement.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18. A compre
hensive enlargement of the activities of
the Department or Agriculture In admin
istering the pure food act is contemplated
In orders Issued today. The obj-ect is to
Inaugurate for ports where the depart
ment has no chemical laboratory a sys
tematic inspection of foods, as is done at
ports where such facilities exist.
A complete chain of laboratory districts
has been established, with headquarters
at the principal ports, to which will be
sent samples of imported goods when
found necessary. All imports, regarding
the right to enter which under the pure
food law any- doubt may exiet In the
minds of the customs inspectors at the
smaller places will be referred to these
chemists.
Officials say that the new method will
tend to do away with any tendency to
import goods in violation of law at the
smaller ports, where there aro no labora
tories, instead of at the larger ports, al
though their ultimate dtctinailon is the
same. Headquarters are to be located.

San Francisco and Seattle.
CLEVELAND jCAR WAR ENDS
Railway Given 2 5 -Tear FrancliJae,
S-Cent Fare Provided.
CLEVELAND, rec. 18. After a series
of traction troubles covering more than
eight years, the City Council tonight
passed an ordinance granting to the
Cleveland Railway Company a general
franchise for 25 years.
The ordinance provides a 3-cent fare
service, with 1 cent for transfers, but
if this rate does not bring an income of
6 per cent on the total valuation, less
outstanding bonds and floating indebted
ness, the fare may be increased to a
maximum of -4 cents or seven tickets for
25 cents, with an additional cent for a
transfer. The present charge of 1 cent
for a transfer and the giving of a like
rebate when it is collected will be stopped-
Judge R. W. Taylor, of the United
States District Court, who arbitrated the
values of the traction properties con
cerned, estimated the total worth of the
Cleveland Electric Railway Company,
franchises included, at $24,091,049.
