Gentleman Train

"Bill" Carlisle, gentleman train rob

not be In Portland.
He informed Chief of Police Jenkins
of his visit today at about the same
time "Robin Hood," alleged notorious
crook, said he was leaving town.
"Seattle Is quiet Portland is dead."
the letter supposed to have been writ

Seattle's chief of police Thursday re

Sound city tellini? of Carlisle's visit
there. It. said that after resting in Se

"blow out" to Oregon.
Whether Carlisle actually Is in Port
land is speculation. Many believe prac

Daring holdups of Union Pacific
trains In Wyoming, after escape from
prison, have made Carlisle a marked
man. He poked fun at the police in
their efforts to catch him.
"Robin Hood" wrote a postcard to
Jenkins.
"I am leaving here. Thanks for my

picture of the Broadway bridge on the
reverse side. It was poorly written In
pencil.
THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Now that the Mexican situa

possibility that grave trouble

States and Mexico. The Journal,
as is its custom, will try to limit
its Mexican dispatches to those
that are well authenticated.
Such newspaper enterprise as
was displayed in the Portland

POLICE BUSY
East and West Side Sallies Are
Staged, Three Suspects Being
Quickly Captured by Authorities.
Minister Who Refused to "Stick
Up Hands" Severely Beaten
by One of Armed Highwaymen.
Following two bold holdups on the
west side and an attempt to rob a
pedestrian on the east side during
the late hours of Friday night, police
captured three men at 1 o'clock this
morning and report that a confes
sion has already been wrung from
one of the captured men, which im
plicates the pr'fre trio.
Three masked highwaymen had the
stage ail set in Portland last night for
another crime wave. They had picked
the west, side on which to operate and
had found two victims before they went
to the east side.
POLICE SEJiT OCT
With the reports of highwaymen
abroad on the west side, every police
reserve in the city was placed on duty
west of the river.
This move was evidently foreseen by
the bandits who hastened to the east
side and attempted to hold up Rev. H.
T. Cash, associate pastor rt the' Kast
Side Baptist church, at Twentieth and
Ankeny streets.
Cash refused to "stick 'em up," at
the command of one of the robbers, who,
he reported, placed a revolver against
his side. For refusing to comply with
the demand he was struck on the jaw.
The trio then fled without searching his
pockets.
BRIDGES AEE GUARDED
When the east side robbery was re
ported guards were stationed on every
bridgre and road in the city. At 1 o'clock
Patrolmen Hall and P. R. Johnson, ar
rested three men, answering the gen
eral description of the highwaymen.
At police station they gave the fol
lowing names : 1. It. Snyder, 20 ; T.
H. Sorensen, 19, and T. H. Murry, alias
Sanders, 18. The three men also answer
the general description of the men who
held up the car on the Carver line
Wednesday morning. Further investi
gation will be made today.
WOMA5 IS ROBBED
The first victim of the highwaymen
Friday night was Miss Louise Klose.
266 Twelfth street, who was stopped at
Eleventh and Main streets. A trio of
masked men were involved in this hold
up and Miss Klose was robbed of $4.
Before Miss Klose could notify the po
lice the same three men held up Gordon
Bennett of the Camelita apartments at
Fifth and Mill streets. A third hold-up
was attempted near Fifth and Mill, but
the intended victim reports that he es
caped. CONFESSION'S ARE CLAIMED
Inspectors La Salle and Swennes ques
tioned the trio all morning and shortly
before noon announced they had se
cured more confessions.' One of the
men is said to have confessed to taking
part in four holdups last Wednesday
night. The victims are: J. Newfeld of
2 Union avenue north, held up at Fifty
sixth street and Fifty-fifth avenue and
robbed of $3.15; Roy H. Swint, 921 Eaat
Glisan street, held up at East Twenty
first and Ankeny streets and robbed of
62 cents and two railroad passes : Max
Porier, 930 Kast Thirty-third street,
held up at Kast Thirty-first and Skid
more streets and robbed of 80 cents,
and Clarence Spahn of 805 Kast Tenth
street, Kast Kieventh and Harrison, who
was out of change when the trio tackled
him. In the later confession, Swennes
says, the prisoner denies taking part in
the holdup of Miss Klose or the Carver
train. -

Having had its little fling of cold
weather, the w.eek's meteorological

concluded with the beginning of an
other fall freshet in the Willamette
river, according to indications re
ported by the weather bureau today.
Having been falling steadily for
some time, the river was practically
stationary at 8 o'clock this morning,
the slight rise shown being due to the

The rainfall at Oregon City was 1.50

The maximum temperature of the 24

Details of Sinking
Of Interned Ships
Revealed in Berlin
Berlin, Nov. 29. (I. X. S.) Details
of the sinking of the interned German
war fleet at Scapa Flow by German
sailors which resulted in additional
peace demands by the allies, were re
vealed here today.
"We could not be blamed, for the
British left us entirely alone," said the
informant a German sailor who was
on the fleet.
"We were free to move about as we
liked, although the ships were forbid
den to signal to each other. That
puzzled the British, too, for the ships
were all sunk at the same time by pre
arrangement. After the piot was
hatched orders were written out and
sealed in a bottle. Then they were car
ried at night by swimmers from one
ship to asother. The best swimmer of
every ship was selected. Although four
nights were spent at this work all of
the war craft were not warned. The
submarines knew nothing of the plans
and were not sunk."

that the kaiser did "egg on" Austria to
attack Serbia; that he began inciting
Austria to act two days after the as

at Sarajevo on June 30, 1914, 30 days
before the war began.
But the evidence shows that the kaiser
did not expect a general Kuropean war,
still less a world war. would ensue.
"Now or never," wrote the kaiser on
the margin of a note sent from Vifenna
by Tschirschky. the German ambassa
dor, reporting expressions from "serious
people" that "there must some day be a
thorough reckoning with the Serbs."
This was two days after the assassina
tion at Sarajevo.
"1 seize every occasion to seri

writes the ambassador. "Who authorized
him to do this? This is very stupid. It
is no business of his," annotates the
kaiser in his own handwriting.

for a goal from placement. From the
36 yard line the Idaho boy booted a per
fect goal from the hands of Quarter
back Koehler.r

SOLDIERS OrTCI.ANNEII
The score did not Indicate (he extent
to which the Navy had the soldiers
outclassed. The vaunted Impregnable
line of the Army was crushed to pieces
before the eyes of Secretary Baker,
Generals Pershing and March and oth
er high ranking officers of the army.
"Clark and Cruise, the two sterling
Navy backs, had Secretary Daniels, Ad
miral Olennon. AdnVral Hims and the
navy notables on their feet time after
time with brilliant runs and smashes
through the West Point lines. Respond
ing to cries of "Fleht like hell !" the
Army took hold of lf.;lf within Its Inner
sanctum" and by grim, desperate fight
ing hurled back the Navy charges when
a slight gain would have meant a touch
down. KINO SAVRH IAV
The N'aVy lacked the piih to pene
trate the Army line when a gain meant
a touchdown and had it not been for
the toe of the Idaho middle, King, hon
ors would have been even.
McQuarrle. the big fullback of the
Army, was the shining light of the sol
dier squad. Hin punting was the de
fensive factor which pulled the Army
out of frequent holes. Twice, standing
behind Ids own roal lines, he was hur
ried to aet a kick away whti the Navy
forwards broke through and he suc
ceeded both times and booted the wet,
slippery ball for 45 yards.
From a technical standpoint the game
was very ordinary. It was unusual,
however, because of the absence of
fumbling which would, have been par
donable In the drlzsllng rain which fell
throughout the entire game.
