Colonel David M. Dunne, collector of
internal revenue, contends that no one
has been authorized to say that It is his
intention to resign his position as col
lector of Internal revenue. For some
time It has been a current rumor that
Colonel Dunne Intended to reslen and
also to become a candidate for mayor of
Portland at the June election, colonel
Dunne says he has not said that he in
tends to resign.
The candidacy ror wie mayorsniD. the
colonel says, nowever, is anotner ques
tion. A large number of friends have
been Importuning him to make the race
for the Republican nomination for
mayer, and while the colonel does not
say that he will be a candidate, he does
not say he will not. He says "That is
another matter."

LOOT BUNDLE
CACHED IN
GULCH
Two men, believed by Mrs. Kenner of
171 East Seventh street north. Jo be
the highwaymen who robbed the East
Side bank last Monday evening, were
seen yesterday to enter Sullivan's gulch
carrying bundles or packsges under their
arms, and later to emerge without the
bundles, to be met by a third man
with whom they went away.
Mrs. Kenney reported to Officer C
D. Hanson that yesterday morning she
saw a man enter the gulch near Oregon
and East Ninth streets. He had a bun
dle under his arm. The man went down
into the gulch, remained there some time,
and came out again without the bundle.
He was met at the north side of the
gulch by another man and the two went
away together.
In the afternoon another man came
up from the south side of the rulch
near East Everett and East Eighth
streets, also carrying a bundle. Like the
first man, he, too, entered the gulch,
came across and emerged without his
bundle. He. also, was met by another
man with whom he went away.
Mrs. .Kenney promptly concluded, on
seeing these performances, that the
three men she bad seen where the men
who robbed the bank, and she notified
Officer- Henson. The officer went
down into the gulch and made a search.
out was unaoie to nnd any traces or
the men having been there. But it is
thought possible by the police that
mese were tne panic roDDers, and that
their booty Is cached somewhere In
the gulch. A careful watch will be
kept in the hope of nabbing the men
if they return for their loot.
This Is the only new development In
the case. It is possible, of course, that
the three men who last night held up
and - robbed a Great Northern train
near Spokane are the same who com
muted tne DanK roorwry, nut this is not
thought by the detectives working or
the case to be very probable. Men
who had just pulled off such a success
ful job snd cleared up over $14,000,
say the detectives, would hardlv he
liable to take the chances of attempting
anuiner ruuuery bo soon., criminals
rarely operate so long as they have
money in their pockets and it is be
lieved that the three bank robbers
would be more liable to be having a
gooa time on me money mey realised
than endangering their lives and liberty
in so perilous an enterprise as a train
noioup. .
One theory of the police detectives ia
that the bank robbers may have cot
away in some ship leaving Portland or
some other port since the holdup. This
Is possible, but seems hardly probable,
as there would have been great danger
in their attempting to embark at a
time when the police of every coast
port were on tho lookout for suspicious
characters.
Captain of Detectives Baty made tho
startling statement this- morning that
no one has a description, of the bank
robbers.' - There aro descriptions enough,
he says, but they do not taly. For In
stance, some of those who n Ahm
men say that-two of them wore sandy
mustaches, while others who also saw
the banic roooers say mey were all
clean shaven.:
"The description of one of the men,
unon which on of the Diivate detsc.
tfve agencies Is working,'' said Captain
Baty, "is of a man 5 feet t inches
in height, weighing 170 pounds, and
sllmly built! Think' of a sllmly built
man of. that 1 wirhln 170
pounds, '
"The trouble is," continued the cap
tain, "that it is hard to get anything
like an accurate description from any
one who is not an expert at taking de
scriptions. Now, bow old would you
take me to be?"
The reporter guessed 40 years).
"You're five years off," said tho cap
tain. "I'm 45.,r
"How old am I, and how tall and
what do you think I weigh?" 'asked .De
tective Maloney, who was present.
The reporter made a bad guess on all
three points, missing the helghth by
two Inches.
Malonev in turn attempted to guess
the reporter's height and missed it by
two Inches.
"You see," he said, "it ia th hardest
thing in the world to estimate a man's
height I don't suppose the descrip
tions wo have of those men are any
where near accurate, though probably
that of the leader is fairly good."
In fact, the typewritten descriptions
that have been distributed among the
detectives and members of the sheriffs
office state that those of the two men.
one of whom held the sack and the
other o whom guarded the door of the
bank are not to be relied upon.
There Is a great deal of rivalry in
this case among the various detectives
working on tho case. Nearly every pri
vate detective agency in town, as well
as the police detectives, are searching
for some clue that will lead to the ct
rest of the robbers, but thus far noth
ing has been discovered that affords
any promise of success. The identity of
the robbers is still as mysterious as It
was the moment they entered the bank
and held up President Nowhall at tho j
point of a gun. .
Every possible clue Is being-followed;
up. Several times a day there Is an ex
cited call for the police by some one
who believes he has seen the robbers,
and a detachment of officers is sent
out to Investigate, but always with the
am rnanifr Th men seen are Inno
cent residents of the town going about
their business.
Yesterday afternoon the police were
informed that three men had been seen
Mrn nv Ant nr r ntt nrusn near mi car-
shops, carrying a sack. A squad of po
Hm hiirriod tn the, nlaco and arrested
the three men, only to una xnat tne
sack contained notning oui some epia
"victuals," the larder of three brake
beam artists who were without money,
ptut nn thav ran afford to nesrlect no
possible clue, the police have to respond
to ail tnese cans. ,
ACTIOfl TAKEN
OH "inSULT"
Wa.Mnirtnn Tiw is. After several
conferences the Republican leads of the
house agreed this afternoon upon a lino
of action tn dealing with President
Roosevelt for his alleged insult to con
gress in nis annual message.
A resolution will be presented recit
ing the facts Involved in-the contro
versy and calling for tbe-appolntment
of a select committee to investigate and
.nn-t tn tho hnusA auch action as will
comport with the dignity and honor, of

The. Democrats jn ino ouuw ni
h- a Inner hr iiavlnff thev would
discuss the affair bubllcly unless the
Republicans acted.' -.'.. , ,
The allege dlnsult is In the) preol

jects to enlarging the scope of the secret
service, a special .t,-epi.iij wum ua

"'It would be far better to do this
than to do what actually was done, and
trlvo to nrevent. of at least to hamper.
effective action against criminals by tho
i -k. . V. n ,F-m A. t " .
tt -was decided late this - afternoon
that the resolution asking for the ap-
