TACOMA, March 17. Two of the
three men who held up a Northern
i'ncmc tram at soutn rrairto tins
morning wero captured one and a
Unit !lna H'nat nl 1? r, H m ,-.1 n ... K 17iml
McIIugh, C. P. Brown and Louis
Crelllng of Buckley at 9 o'clock this
morning. They wero badly wounded.
Tho third man escaped into the
woods. The two were brought back
to Buckley and closely guarded, and
wero given medical attention by Dr.
Sheets. Tho automobile used by the
bandits was riddled by shots from the
revolvers and rifles of the citizens of
Buckley as the car passed through
the town.
The third bandit was later captur
ed in the woods by a posse led by
Marshal Kingenbern of Buckley. He
was also reported to have been
wounded.
The quick wit of C. E. Going, 20.
express messenger, saved $15,000
from theft by the bandits. The three
men drove up to the railway station
In an automobile, just as the train,
carrying $15,000 in currency to Bur
nett, pulled in. Leaning out with re-
i 'volvers blazing and firing wildly into
y the air to awe the passengers, the
men held up E. F. Going, agent; A. J.
Enright, conductor, and twelve pas
sengers, lining them up on the sta
tion platform. One of the bandits
searched the express car but could
find 'nothing of value. Threats
against young Going, the express
messenger, fulled to bring results and
the holdups conld not Induce him to
show them where the money was.
Going, hearing the shooting, had re
moved the money from the safe and
hidden it in a remote section o the
car where it was overlooked by the
bandits.
Empty handed, hut determined to
make good their escape, the bandits
headed for Buckley, a few miles away
and when residents attompted to stop
their car fired upon them as they
speeded away.
Two Buckley citizens were wound
ed In the exchange of shots, as tho
bandits raced through the waiting
crowd at one of tho business corners.
Wlllinm Henderson received a burn
from a bullet that grazed his temple.
and J. F. Jones, undertaker, was shot
fin tho shoulder. Another bullet
flashed under tho bed In which
i narlos Proctor, confectioner, was
deeping.
None of the men had anything to
say. The touring car which they
used was identified through its li
cense number ns being of those stolen
from Conrad Johnson 1210 Summit
avenue, Seattle, Friday night.
Jorgcnson was shot in the right
arm about four Inches above the
wrist, tho bullet shattering both
bones of tho arm. Harold Phelps of
tho Buckley garage, was credited
with firing this shot.
Denning was found to have a flesh
wound in the right shoulder. Jor
genson nnd Denning wero captured
when they took to tho woods at the
picnic grounds about two mile.s enst
of BuPkley. Marshal Fred Klinken

EVERETT, Wash., March 17.
That Mrs. Cleopatra Karas and Gust
Karas, brother of her dead husband
who died in a fire in tho rear of the
Home Bakery here early this morn

tion made today by Charles Flckcl,

heads of both wero crushed t-y n
blunt instrument. Both wero together
in one room nnd whilo the fire ap
parently originated there, tho fact
that neither seemed to hav made

I'oincnro Stands Firm
PARIS, March 17. (By the As
sociated Press.) Premier Poincare
will entertain no propositions for ne
gotiations with Germany until the
Berlin government makes It known
directly and officially to France that
she wants to negotiate, it was declar
ed today in French official circles.
Any attempt by a third power to
Intervene or provoke discussion of
the terms under which a settlement
might be reached with Germany, it
was added, will be regarded by
France as an unfriendly act.
Premier Polncare's attitude on that
point, a high official declared, re
mains Quito as firm as at tho begin
ning of the Ruhr occupation.
From tho same source it is learned
that all rumors of attempts to open
negotiations Indirectly are unfound
ed so far as the French government is
concerned, and no proposition of any
kind has been brought to Its atten
tion. ' '
Berlin llenies Ofrer
BERLIN, March 17. (By the As
sociated Press.) Tho rumor that
Germany has offered forty billion
gold marks or any other fixed sum
or has submitted fresh reparations
proposals through an intermediary
was flatly denied by the German for
eign office todoy.
In tho first place, It is pointed out,
Isuch a sum Is considerably in excess
jot the amount provided for in tho
I government's proposals of last Janu
ary and therefore is declnrcd to be
out of the Question, in view of the
disturbed economic situation result
ing from the occupation of the Ruhr.
In addition, it Is stated In official
quarters, the Ruhr situation in the
present Impasse does not permit ne w
and definite proposals to bo contem
plated, especially as the character
of tho negotiations which obviously
would precedo an active resumption
of tho reparations discussions has
not yet been indicated, nor have BU'-'h
negotiations ever been suggested ns a
possible early eventuality.

Tho Information presented by Dr.

With Inquirics.'--

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 1C That
Californians Inc., already has demon
strated with surprising force what a
determined civic association can do
for tho community is the subject of a
report by K. R. Kingsbury, president
of the Standard Oil company of Cali
fornia as well as of Californians Inc.
"The campaign we are conducting,"
states Mr. Kingsbury, "is practically
tho first scientifically organized at
tempt that has been made to inform
people at a distance exactly what Cali
fornia is, apart altogether from .. its
glamor as an idyllic land of sunshine.
Our direct purpose 1s to fill up the
vast empty spaces In tho interior of
the state with people seeking, not ease
and idleness, but a place to work and
carvo their own futures and prosper
ity.
"In the last few years, not only Cali
fornia but all western America be
tween the Rockies and the Pacific has
felt the pressure of a tremendous tide
of progress and development. This
tldo has swept away already the old
west and has flung up on Its crest a
new west, a western America In tran
sition from frontier to empire.
"That Is why San Francisco ha
gone into tho business, through Cali
fornians inc., of selling California to
the rest of the United States, of has
tening the coming of millions of people
needed for tho full development of tho
stnte."
The return which Californians Inc.
has had on its newspaper and maga
zine -advertising in tho first three
months of its campaign has been so
overwhelming that the advertising
has had to be discontinued for tha
time being. Up to March 1, three
months after tho campaign Btarted,
55,000 inquiries had been received
from people In the east and the middle
west. In reply to these, 74,000 letters
and 116,000 booklets were mailed from
the San Francisco headquarters. Dur
lne the last week of February, the out
going mall from the office averaged
2500 letters and 5000 booklets dally.
This represents, during regular office
hours, a letter every ton and a booklet
every five seconds, or a piece of mall
every three and a half seconds.
Tho inquiries are followed up with
personal letters from Dr. H. M. Rastall
manager of tho California Publicity
Fund. If an Inquirer is Interested in
some special branch of Industry, ho
receives another letter Immediately
containing reliable information com
piled by experts on the subject of his
Interest. Inquiries are sent then to
chambers of commerce In communi
ties devoted to the Industries each In
quirer asks about. And when the
Immigrant from the cast arrives in
San Francisco with his family, he Is
met by Callfornlnns Inc., nnd every
effort mado to find a nlcho for him
In California.
