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. Valuable Blag Ulstlug! vVv".
' The most valuable ' of ' all' the goods
stolen was a'.rlng, set with two sapphires
and 20 diamonds, valued at $"00. It Is
missing. . ;i - '
. "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. - '

A resolution to the effect that a com

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

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

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. .

' f. '4 .DESCRIPTION OF. THE SYSTEM.
The gasoline tank ca"n be put outside of the building If desired.. Tho tank is filled only partly full, leaving spaco In It' for air J pressure. 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 ' , .
Each lamp will light a space 80 feet squaro brilliantly, and It can thus be easily determined the necessary number of light required. ,
