CRIMINALS ON
Los Angeles Police Work to Capture Perpetrators of
Extraordinary Series of Crimes Robberies and
Assaults Reported From All Over City.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Los Angeles,-Dec. 18. Three safes
were blown, a horse and buggy stolen,
two offices ransacked, one home entered
by burglars, a blacksmith shop broken
Into and two women assaulted by rob
bers In and around Los Angeles last
night, and today the entire police and
detectivee forces are at work In an
effort to check the orlmlnal element
which has been rampant in this vicin
ity since the racing season opened.
Safe crackers at Downey, a suburb,
last night broke .into a blacksmith shop
and stole tools .with which they entered
the postoflce. Blowing the safe they
secured two Mexican half dollars and
some valueless papers and made their
escape by stealing a her?? and buggy
from th-arn of Riley Mannerlng.
The .postmaster, Joseph Smiths-saved
the stamps and receipts of the office by
taking them horns with him last night,

pects other than that they were found
at daybreak this morning near Fa.r
vlew has been received by Sheriff, Stev
ens. Htephon Vanderhoof, the tramp
who was riding on the baggage car of
the train that was held up and who was
taken Into custody last night Is positive
that . he will he able to Identify tho
train robbers If "they are captured.
Sheriff Stevens thinks It probable
the suspects belong to another gang and
are not the tralii robbers.
Aside from the certainty that the
train robbers boarded the west-bound O.
R. 4 N. No. 1 at Hood River last even
ing and the fact that Vanderhoof la
sure that he can Identify them and has
given a fair description of them, little
concrete information has been gathered
by the army of detectives and special
agents that was hurried to the scene of
the holdup last night. It Is the belief
of most of those at work on the case,
however, that the men came to Port
land after the robbery. If they did so,
however, they either walked Into town
or else separated and later met at some
rooming house and are in hiding In
town at present . All - the trains aitd
steamers leaving the city are being
watched by the police, and It Is not be
lieved -they will be able to get away
without detection.
According' to the official statement
made by the Pacific Express company,
whose- car was broken open with nitro
glycerine, the total amount secured by
the train robbers will be about $700.
The largest item in this bill was a
package of diamonds - consigned to the
Remington Liquor company, valued in
the shipping bill at $400 and by the
consignees at $500. Nine packages In
the express car were broken open and
a portion of their contents taken. One
package contained some gold chains and

$100. The others were filled with ar-

Russia Holds Finnish Capi
tal as Hostage for the
Province. '
, (United Press Leased Wire.)
Helslngfors, Dec. 18. Russia has
trained cannon from Sveaborg fortress
upon the city of Helsingfors. the capital
of Finland. The fortification stands on
an .island at the entrance to the Gulf of
Finland, a quarter of a mile, from tho
town. Hitherto the guns . have pointed
out to sea. Now they command the
shoreward sides. The artillerymen have
divided the city Into quarters for pur
poses of bombardment. Within the fort
ress accommodations have been pre
pared for use on short notice by Gov
ernor General Beckman, Assltant Gov
ernor General Seyn and the commander
of- the Russian troops in Ipinland.
On. another island, but a few yards
from Helsingfors peninsula, earthworks
are ' being thrown up as a protection
against rifle fire from the mainland.
The RuRslan troops throughout the
country are being heavily reinforced,
mainly with regiments drafted from the
Volga district. Tho extensive military
preparations which the czar's represen
tatives are making are taken Tiere. as
indicating their conviction that an up
rising will ' speedily follow the re
assembling of the Finnish diet early In
1909.
It Is believed that the Russians mean
to make Helsingfors a hostage for the
province's good behavior. In the event
of disorders, even outside the city,
everyone here issure the capital will bo
bombarded. The clash Is expected when
the caar demands a $1,000,000 appropria
tion from the diet for a military bridge
across the Neva. It Is considered cer
tain that the legislators will not only
refuse but that the demand will be made
a text for raising the issue of tne coun
try's liberties' which all Finns sav Rus
sia has been gradually withdrawing
until their constitution Is now hardly
worth the Daper on which it Is written.
The panslons which the debate will
surely arouse. It is believed here as well
as in Russia, will precipitate an out
break all over Finland.

FULTON IS OUT RAIL
OF CONTEST
Senator Writes Letter 'Say
ing Plainly That He Does
Not Desire Office If Fight
for It 3Iust Be Made
Has (Uven Up Hope.
Charles W. Fulton has no real desire
In be 1'nlted States senator from Ore
gon. He would like the office If fee
could be assured of life tenure, but un
der the circumstances he believes that
it would be better for him to return to
the practice of he law. Therefore he
has concluded that it would be better
for him to return to private life with
out a struggle, though , he still believes
that the Oregon leglnlature should elect
some Republican to succeed him.
This is Mr. Fulton's verdict as out
lined In a letter which he has written to
a member of the Multnomah delegation,
in which he says that unless he could
be assured of continued reelection with
out serious opposition he had best re
turn to private life and let politics go
in order to build up his private fortune
by the practice of his profession.
Has alven Tip Hope.
This letter makes it plain that the
senior senator ha a given up hope of
breaking down the Statement No. 1 ma-
lorttv in the legislature; that he has no
hope of reelection, and that the end of
the opposition to the election of Oover-
nor Chamberlain by the legislature has
come in aerinite rorm.
The senator addressed his letter to
one of the Multnomah legislators in dis
cussing a matter of private business.
Before he conoluded, however, - he set
out his vlewa on the senatorial question
at length and made plain bis thoughts
ma cournt) neiore me legislature
which is soon to convene. In tho letter
Mr. Fulton stated that he had never
asked any member to violate his State
ment No. 1 pledge In his own behalf.
He then went on to say that he had no
real desire to be senator unless-he could
be assured of Indefinite continuance In
office. He said that he enjoyed the
work In congrens, that questions of na
tional Importance and great interest
.were continually arising In the senate
for consideration and discussion, and
that the most able men of the nation
were there to take part in these discus
sions. For these' reasons he would like
to remain In congress. However, the
senator stated. It was impossible for a
senator to lay bv money on the salary
paid.
Weary of righting;.
If he could be continued in office In
definitely, or so long as his faculties
were unimpaired, then he would much
prefer to be reelected, the senator said.
But under the circumstances, when even
If he were to go before the legislature
and be reelected, he would be put to a
hard and bitter contest at the expiration
of his term, he pelleved that It would
be best for him to step out of public
life at this time.
"I would then be six years older and
better off financially," the senator savs
In effect, "and if I have to step down
and out at some time. It would be Just
as well now as at any time in the fu
ture. I could make more money by the
practice of the law than bv being sen
ator, and I have no real desire to be
senator."
In following out his line of argument
Senator Fulton contends that an Ore
gon legislature, strongly Republican
should not elect a Dempcrat to the sen
ate. He contends that the primary law
and Statement No. 1 were not Intended
to be construed in any such, manner, and
argues that the statement that pledged
members should vote for the ' candidate
receiving the hlehest number of popular
votes without regard to individual pref
erence does not take Into consideration
political preference. Statement No. 1

An Important speech was delivered .
last night by Colonel C. K. 8. Wood of
Portland, agent of the French company,
owning the -military road grant of 750,
000 acres including 2a,00u under th

been accused of being the chief ob

try but Colonel Wood -denies It. In a
clever speech he declared that his com
pany had purchased the land grant with ,
gold coin from the pollnclans who had
secured it. and waa therefore untitled
to get some returns.
He declared that his company was
willing to sign up the land for the gov
ernment project providing that It Is
not placed In danger of having the land ,
confiscated by the foreclosure of the
land for water before being able to
find purchasers. It is believed that tho
government will be able to make ar

from loss and permit of a fair price be-
ing secured for the land. Colonel Wood
also stated that the whole of the grant
is now under offer In London to capi- .
talista who are considering the propo-
sltion of constructing a railroad from ;

The speaker said that the grant had
been offered to Harriman as an Induce--ment
to construct a road and also to
the Chicago-Milwaukee & St. Paul In
terests, the price being J3 'per acre,
but that both companies had turned
down the proposition in favor of con- '
st ructlng competing lines to those of
H1U in Washington. He said that he
would advocate the passage t , of an
amendment to the constitution permit
ting the state to construct a railway
in order to have a chance to make the
railroads develop the country Instead
ot fighting each other In a territory ai-
