CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS ON THEM . 1 r Perpetrators of Carty Burglary Trapped by Portland Detectives One $700 ; Ring Is "Missing They Confess Guilts ' William Dean, wed 30, and Harry Rlch- mond, aged 22, robbed the home of W. A. Carty, 3U Eugene street,, of nearly 81,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry Friday night at 7:15 o'clock, and were arrested ' l;it nlcht at 7 o'clock bv Detectives Day. AVelner and Vaughn. To The Journal, Immediately after their arrest, both men confessed to the burglary, but declared they had not perpetrated any others here or elsewhere. This is not believed by the - police, who confidently expect t prove hnth mvn to be old nrofesslonals. ' With the pair was. taken Ed Wiley, a local price Aghter,.' In whose room the goods were stored. The burglars, self-confessed, were cap tured by genuinely clever detective work by Day. Welner and Vaughn, and the best part of the catch is the fact that the men had the plunder with. Jhem in a satchel, with the exception of a lady's irnM wath anA A riiamnnri rnsf. the liLttr valued at 8700. The ring they deny tak - Ing. but their denial Is not believed. The following articles were recovered: One gold ring set with diamonds and talued at 8350: a lady's gold watch valued ' at $160; one lady's gold neckchaln valued at $"i0; two gold nugget stickpins; one re volver and one clock. .' . i. y.

"What did you do with that ring?" was asked of Richmond, the eldest of .. the pair.-- -,y:, ..v.-- ,.-.' vi-f-Vy v :" "I did not take the ring that I know of." he replied; but It I (5(id "take it, I have lost it." - The officers believe that Richmond did take the ring.xand that It has been turned over to someone else. They believe there Is a third party in the job, to whom the ring Was given. "I admit that I burglarized the house, with Dean as my helper," said Richmond. "The work was done quick. We broke In the door, which was locked, then broke in the inner door leading to the room In which we found the jewelry. Everyone in the house was gone at the time and we had no difficulty In getting the stuff. Bold a Watch for $10. v i; "The only thing I sold was a watch. I got $10 for It, and the man who bought it was some kind of a farmer, or logger. I met him on the street and sold it to him. I deny ever entering any other houses here, or anywhere else. Dean has been with pie: all the time and has not done any jobs with the exception of that Friday night We both came here me nrsi time irom Seattle about five weeks ago. We remained here awhile and then went to Seattle: We got back here about nine days ago. I don't know anything about thajt diamond ring the '. detectives say is missing. -1 don't remem ber having seen it, and if I took tt I have simply lost it that's all." - j , . ; The capture of the burglars is con sidered one of the most clever pieces ... uuicvi.c nui Ever uuno jn roruana. The arresting officers had no descrip tion to work on. The detectives ascer tained from a reliable source that Dean was a skillful burglar. This thfcy learned some weeks ago, but until they had an opportunity to catch him with plunder in, his 'possession, they did. not desire to arrest him. When -Dean and Richmond returned from Seattle nine days ago, they made their headquarters in various''1 saloons' in' the north end, notably a. s place ; owned by awomari known is "Liverpool Lis." Their every action stamped them as night prowlers, and -they have been under close sur veillance by the officers. ---After the Carty diamond robbery, the detectives were . almont sure that the culprits were Dean and Richmond, Late yesterday afternoon , the detectives started out to locate the suspects.' They first ran Into them shortly after dark on the corner of Third and Washington streets, j Richmond was known to the officers especially because of the fact that he is nearlSTtftild. By this means they kept easy trace of him. The two crooks wandered down Third street, the detectives following close behind. The crooks had nothing with them at that time. ,. - ',..., v. vy ,;.'.'.'. :' Caught After. Hot Chase. : ' , At the corner ' of Third and .- Pine streets a sudden gust of wind caught Richmond's hat, and he ran after It, in so doifjg getting out of sight of the detectives, as there was a car passing. Welner told Vaughn to rush over and nafik Richmond, as he feared he would get away, but Richmond : ran tip the stairs Into - the Eagle house, and was lost to view" Tor a few minutes. , Dean, however, was placed under arrest; at the corner. 'He. was taken ' absolutely unawares- by- Detective Vaughn,- who slipped, up behind him and snapped, the handcuffs on his wrists before he knew. what was taking place. Soon after Rich mond came down the stairs with the satchelful of plunder, and was yalso taken. Wiley, the prizefighter, was seen with the men eariy tajthe evening, and was arrested on general principles. The detectives believe the two' men under arrest have, turned all the bur glaries of the past few weeks. They say all of the jobs have been done in the same manner. The officers hope to secure further, admissions from . them today. - -- ' Jewelry Is Xflentiflea. v Mr. Carty appeared at the police sta tion shortly after the arrests were made, and identified all the goods found in the satchel.. He said that the thieves must have been watching his home that night, for his wife . was not out more than an hour, and that was the first time she had ever left the house in the evening. lor many .months. A thing that above all others stamps Richmond and Dean as clever and pro fessional criminals Is that they did not attempt to dispose of any plunder "at pawnshops, but instead sold It to peo ple on the streets. There is a possibility that Richmond and Dean are the men who made the brutal assault on Mrs. D. E. Flanders Thursday night at. her home, when she was robbed of $215. The detectives are inclined to the belief that they know something of the matter, if they are not the actual perpetrators. - ' TOILSOME WAY TO A FORTUNE PXCA&S SEXBS ABB STH.Ii COBTX BElfl OF trNXABTZOHa A.QXXAT ESTATE, THOTTOH' THE PBSZJ3CX HABT WOSK IS PBOVTJJXr ARDU OUS BOMB BXCOBDS FOUND.

A resolution to the effect that a com mittee of one be appointed a higher court of appeals to the association, has caused much trouble to the members of the fiunnyside Alumni association. The res olution was introduced by Edward "Wil cox a short , time ago at a meeting of the association. It did not meet with favor and the motion to adopt It was rescinded. At a meeting held last Fri day evening the question came up again. The resolution was read and Immediately afterwards principal of Sunnyslde school . D. Curtis spoke of the advantages to be derived from passing such a resolu tion, then moved the previous question, thus barring further debate. The presi dent, put the question and the resolu tion was adopted. ' It was tlso recommended that Prin cipal Curtis be appointed the commit tee of one. Those opposed to the reso lution say that If they had been given a chance to - speak on - the question there would have been enough on the other side to prevent the resolution from being adopted. r -. "The real question was whether the society should be controlled by a minor faction or those under the leadership of Mr. Curtis," aaid one member. "1 In troduced the resolution and then Pro fessor Curtis arose and explained it fully and closed his speech by calling for the previous question. This, of course, closed the debate. ..The president then presented the question and the resolution was passed. with but three or four op posing votes. The reason why Mr. Cur tis called for the previous question was to prevent the argument, which ha knew would ensue. If one of the other side obtained the floor. After the .resolution was passed the meeting adjoifrned, sub ject to the call of the president. Miss Lizzie Shearer." ' - A Definition.

Within a few "days Attorney .Isaac Swett expects to be in possession of In formation which will, enable him, to begin active measures for recovery of the fortune left by Joseph Plcard. : who died in 1862 and was interred in the old Catholic Mission In this city. The es tate consists largely of Canadian gov ernment bonds,: but there are also big tracts of property lying in the province of Quebec All the heirs are residents of this state, and many of them have .written the attorney recently urging him to put forth every effort in bringing hem Into possession of their rights, and promising him all - the expense money necessary In carrying out his plans. While looking over tlie records at the county courthouse yesterday morning in connection with the ; estate Attorney Swett stated that he had written a dozen officials and other prominent persons In Quebec relative to the testate, and an ticipates receiving definite Information within few days. The records at Van couver, Wash., have been examined and give considerable aid. Many of the en tries on the old books there were al ready known to Prosper Plcard and the other heirs. These records have all been copied and sent Plcard, whose home Is in Umatllja county, with the request that such as apply to the family be noted and returned to their counsel. - VWt have learned," said Attorney Swett, "that a few. months ago one of the papers In this city contained an ad vertisement asking for Information that would lead to the discovery of the heirs. It was sent here from eastern Canada. My Informant is unable to tell the date of the paper containing the notice In fact, not within several weeks of the time nor can he remember what paper H was In. -This means that the flies. of three dailies will have to ,be gone over for aerlod covering about two months. This will entail an enormous amount of labor, but there seems no way out of it; the Information which may be given in' the notice cannot be passed up. --: r , ''Everything learned seems to strengthen the indications that within a few months the work of securing the vast estate and turning it over to the heirs will be well under way. On ac count of the length of time that has elapsed, and the numerous obstacles standing In the pathway to acquiring this fortune, the work of straightening everything out will necessarily encom pass a long period." THE MAD MUXX.AK AND ENGLAND. From the Chicago Tribune. . , The British campaign against the mad mullah in- the- arid regions of - Sa maliland, In northeastern Africa, has cost the taxpayer $12,000,000 and ac complished nothing. Further financier ing of the 'little waif causes the Bal four ministry to shudder, as the army and navy budget for next year stands at the highest peace figure in history. The burdens of empire are many and unshlrkable, and England's cheerful foe is troubled by none of them. He skips blithely about ; without a : cent in tho world, cutting lines of communication and threatening outposti to the extreme and constant discomfort of his Euro pean opponent .Great Britain is not seeking to acquire territory In this con quest, as Somallland Is already colored red upon the maps, but Is merely trying to keep -the mad mullah from knifing the natives who are friendly to England and who supply Aden with provision The mullah Is now considered the less mad of the two parties concerned. . .

Air Is pumped Into the tank by means of an air pump. An air gauge on the tank shows tha amount of air pressure. From the tank the gasoline is forced by air pressure to each lamp through a flexible brass hollow wire tubing, which may b put through crevices, around . corners and along ceilings, the same as electric light wires. One lamp,", or, as many as are wanted, can be connected to the wire tubing of a system, and all operated from the same tank. The light Is generated at each lamp. By sending us a diagram with your order,; giving measurements of the 'wire tubing (as explained fully in our price list), we braie the connections on the wire tubing so that any one can easily, put up a system In a little while. It does , not take an expert to 'put up our system, and when you move -your store you can take your system along, with you. , The generator in our system is the best and most practical generator for & lighting system that has ever been placed upon the market. This is trU because the generator Is so very simple and can be easily cleaned by any one, hence the lights always work: and give satisfaction. ".It does not take a mechanic with special tools to take It apart and clean it, nor does it have to be sent to the factory to be cleaned out Our system Is burned at a pressure of only 80 pounds, which produces the very best results, this being a great advantage in the saving of oil. It Is a well-known fact that high pressure Is hard on mantles. Another advantage In our system Is that we use only one mantle -on the. lamps hence -the' light can be dis tributed better, which is a saving in mantles and In the consumption of gasoline.' v ' 1 ' , .
