""No meeting has as yet been held to discuss future action by the disbanded lodge, but late today v Former President Watson Informally sked that a session be held tonight Even the keys to the Portland cage ara in the possession of Thomas Mc- .

The ' lodge cannot meet said." said Mr. Wright "1 have turned over all of Its property to Mr. McNamee and there la no lodge of Eagles in tha City of Portland and no officer with authority to call a meeting.

"No step 1iave yet been taken toward appealing from th order of charter re vocation." r It la aald that there is a long list of transgression of lodge-law against the Portland Aerie one of them disorderly conduct In the lodge room.

THE APPOINTMENTS TO BE PERMANENT The Park Board at Its regular monthly meeting this morning recommended the permanent appointment of 15 employes in the park service, who have hereto fore been temporarily engaged under the provisions of the Civil Service Com mission. All but two or. three are on the commission's eligible list, and sev eral have been employed since the last examination. The names and positions are as follows: H. Morgan, park policeman; F.

The question of appointing special park pollcement came up for discussion, but the pro posal was rejected. The Police Depart' ment professed to have no men to spare for park duty, but in view of the fact that ten, extra pollcemea were nominated yesterday, it was felt that the shortage no longer existed.

Arrested With Five Others, Two of Whom Are Women, for Freauentine ODium Joint a an Early Hour This Morning, to KANSAS CITY AGAIN THREATENED BY FLOOD v a va a a nrv in t tu . tr . River is again on a rampage, and hun-'l dreda of men ara working this morning on bridges to prevent debris . carrying them away. Piles at tha James-street bridge ara washed away. - Tommy Ryan, formerly a prize fighter of some renown and well known about the city, now has a wholesome respect for the marksmanship of Patrolman W. Hemsworth. While attempting to escape from the officer at 4 o'clock this morning, Ryan received a slight bullet wound In the calf of his left leg. Tha former pugilist, who gave his name at the police station aa Tom Smith, was arraigned in court under a 'charge of frequenting an opium Joint. Jointly accused with him were Frank Lewis, Charles Banker, Vrank Kirk, Louisa Steele and Daisy Howard. All entered pleaa of not guilty through their attorney and their hearing was set for a later date. The six alleged opium usera were arrested In a raid upon a Chinese de at 87 hi Second street. Patrolman Hems worth observed the two women enter ing the place. He reported to Capt. Bailey, in command of the night forces, and the latter officer detailed Jailer Hogeboom to assist Hemsworth in mak- ng the raid. The officers, upon gaining admittance to the place, found Lewis and Banker. They were arrested and marched to tha tatlon, whereupon the officers hastened back to the resort to get the other inmate. The front part of . the Joint waa thor oughly ransacked, but no one was found. An aged Chinaman denied that there were any women In the place, but the policemen followed 'S.devlous hall to the rear until they reached a door. This they forced and in the room beyond, Ryan, Kirk ai)d the two women were found. The then had their coats and vests off", while tha women were lying on the benches, with opium pipes by their sides. Tha quartet were taken Into cus tody and the smoking outfit confiscated. As the party was descending the .stair way, Ryan broke loose and started at a break-neck speed. He turned up the street and Hemsworth started in pur suit, after dropping the pipes and pans which he carried. Brought to Ground. Tha officer is a. fast sprinter, but Ryan gained on him, because of .the policeman's sore foot Hemsworth called to Ryan a half-dozen times to stop, but the pugilist continued to sprint The policeman pulled his re volver and fired .into the air, but tha shot seemed to induce more speed on Ryan's part Still in pursuit Hems worth ordered his man to halt a half dozen times more, threatening to shoot If th order waa not obeyed. Ryan failed to obey tha order and the patrol man fired once again, this time strik ing Ryan in the leg. . "111 topnow; I'm ahot cried Ryan, as the officer caught up to him. Tha other speedily followed, but m ntyty examination showed that tha wound was very slight It entered the calf Just under the skin, passing through a small piece of flesh and cutting It way through the man' trousers. Dr. SJocum dressed tha wound. Offloer X Crack Shot. Patrolman Hemsworth Is a new man on tha force, but by his vigilance and attention' to duty haa proved himself an excellent officer. Ha waa for nearly two years In the Philippines with the Second Oregon, where ha had tha repu tation of being a crack shot "I knew Just what I wa doing," aald the officer. "I didn't Intend to let the man get away from me, like that I could hava caught him, but I could not run fast because of a sore toe. I didn't intend to hurt him, but to Just bring him to time, for I wa determined ha should not escape." Chief Hunt would not commit him self regarding the incident, except to say that ha regarded the officer as a flrst-claas policeman, with good Judg ment and very conscientious. Hems worth believes he gave Ryan sufficient warning. Whatever tha merits of the case, prisoners will hereafter have more respect for tha marksmanship of Portland policemen, and especially for that of Hemsworth. Ryan Is well known In police circles. his reputation being that of a "rough house fighter."

A marriage license was issued by County Clerk Fields this morning to Joseph Cogan and Clara Bulmelster. The couple were married in Portland about five years ago.

Oantenbeln, com mandlng the Oregon . National Guard, and the officers of the state regiment are ctlU undecided regarding the hold ing of an encampment this year. Sea side has been spoken of as the most favorable place, but the matter is still held In abeyance, owing to' question of railroad rates being open. A meeting will probably be held ; tomorrow, at which time soma understanding will be arrived at. The data has not been de termined upon. . ' .. . , If possible, a detachment of the Nine teenth Infantry from , Vancouver . Bar racks.

James McPartland, tha Western eup. er'.ntendent of the branch offices of the Plnkerton National Detectiva Agency, arrived m Portland this morning from San Francisco, on his annual inspection trip or the agenclea under ills super vision. Hia headquarters are in Den ver. For S5 years Mr. McPartland ha been identified with the detecting of crime and the running down and convicting of criminal. During this period he has had many thrilling experience, and' has worked . up case of national history. His knowledge of criminals and their methods is perhaps as thorough aa that of any otjier man. in tha world. Broke TTp Mollis MoOulre. Mr. McPartland gained a national reputation in his work of breaking up the notorious Mollie McGulre a1 gang, which about 80 years ago terrorized the coal districts of Pennsylvania. They were an organized band of murderers that were bound together with ties of blood and solemn oaths. They defied all law and authorities, and openly carried on murder and Crimea of every cnaracier. Alter tney naa killed a num ber of officers and driven others' from tne country, for trying to fix resppnsl blllty for some of their crimes, th Plnkertons were called Into the case, and It fell to the lot of Mr. McPartland to undertake tha hazardoua Deration. no weni among me criminals as a laborer, and in time secured evidence which resulted in the hanging of the ring leaders and tha effective disorgan izing or tne nerce revolutionists that ruiea oy nr and sword. Train Bobbing Practically Over. In speaking of different, phases of 'Train robbing, which several years ago waa. a well-organised industry, and of frequent occurrence, Is now practi cally an obsolete crime, . The settling up of tha country, the changing of con ditions and the relentless search to cap ture, and the severe punishment of this desperate class of outlaws, has broken up the gangs and discouraged other from talcing up this Una of crime. Tha last bunch broken up was known - aa the "Hole Jn the Wall'' gang. They had operated In every section from Mexico to the Canadian border," and atola hun dred of thousands of dollars, The des peradoes who wera prominent in this crowd wera Harvey Logan, Lonny Lo gan, Georne Parker, Harry Longbaugh, Camilla Hanka, George Curry, Bob Lea and Will Carver. This gang held up tha Union Pacific train In Wyoming several years ago; about a year later tha First National Bank of Wlnnemucca wa robbed by them, and recently a Great Northern train near Wagner, Mont" - Xoga a Tough On. "Tha'men are now all serving time . . i or dead. Harvey Logan ia on of the worst in tha bunch. In tha fall of 1901 he wa captured by tha Knoxvllle, Tann. police. Ha wa convicted on ten count and aentenced to a term of 20 years. Laat June Logan lassoed prison guard with a piece of wire and by threatening to choke him to death secured hi revolver and made his es cape, and up to this time haa riot been heard from. Logan murdered Pike Sandusky In Montana In 1894. He a' aasslnated Sheriff Joseph Haxen of Con verse County, Wyoming, while the offi cer wa attempting to arrest him. In 1901 he shot' fatally two police officer in Knoxvllle.- He la known to hava committed alx murder and to have taken part In all tha principal train and bank robberies of the laat ten year. Crane: Broke Up, "Lonny. Logan, a brother of Harvey, wa killed while resisting arrest at Dob son. Mo., In 1900. He was being taken for helping to rob the Union Paclflo train at Wileox, Wyo. Bob Lee, alias Bob Curry, a cousin of the Logan brothers, was captured in gambling house at Cripple Creek. Colo.. and 1 now serving a ten year sentence at Rawlins, Wyo., for the Unlpo Pacific roDoera f George Curry, another leader, waa killed In 1900 near Thompson's, Utah, while reaiatlng arrest for the Wilcox roDoery. "Will Carver was also killed by off! oers near Senora, Tex. "The conviction and killing of mem bers of what was alao known aa the Wild Bunch' have put a atop to train holdup. , This last gang waa the worst since tne exploit or tne James ooys, "A notorious gang of sneag thlevea waa broken up In the Northwest . several years ago. They had successfully ope rated all over the United States. The last trick they turned, which proved their undoing, waa the robbery of the Flrat National Bank of Seattle of S5.000 during tha noon hour. Kid Parker, one or the men, acted as 'stall,' and en gaged the cashier in conversation while James Collins sneaked back of the coun ter and took the money. Parker wa captured In Victoria but acquitted of the charge, but waa later sent over the road for another crime. Collins waa caught In San Francisco and taken to Seattle, and tried and sentenced to Walla Walla prison for aeven years. ' He proved himself a desperate character and while' being brought north Jumped from the Southern Paclflo train in the Cow Creek Canyon, while ehackled hand and foot Ha waa kept in the Portland jail over night and had broken out of hia cell and waa preparing to escape when ne waa observed by the officer. He created a mutiny In tha county jail at Seattle and on aeveral occasion came near gaining his liberty. Since his con finement at Walla Walla he ha eacaoed twice but been recaptured both time. "The class of criminals known aa the "yegg men or hobo burglars, are the moat desperate criminals and the moat difficult with which the authorities haA to contend. They are great travelers, and investigation has7 shown that about 90 per cent of the burglary of bank safe, railroad stations and postofflces waa the- workof "yegg burglars.- The professional safe cracker and burglars are fast disappearing, owing to the sys tem of protection adopted by the bank and leading corporation. -V ' "All the principal banks In the coun try are In the National Protective Asso ciation which' has for its object the punishment of , offender . against any bank being a member.

Returning to His Home in San Francisco from Indianapolis Visit Has No Particular Significance. Henry Meyer, chairman of the execu tive board of the Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners of America, will ar rive in Portland tomorrow. A telegram to thla effect haa been received by C Bomberger, secretary of the Portland Carpenters' Union. Mr. Meyer resides in San Francisco. and is on his way home from Indian- apolla, where he haa been attending Quarterly convention of the executl board. A reception of some chara will probably be arranged for hi: the local union during his stay- It is not known Just how long he in tends to remain.
