Meanwhile Stidman had been transferred by the construction com- nanv from Corvallis to Medtora, ai which point he met Mrs. Falls. Ac cording to the police, Stidman in duced Mrs. Falls to accompany him to Salem. In some way Falls heard that Stidman and -Mrs. Fail3 were coming to Salem, and he asked the Salem police to watch lor tne coupie. Patrolmen Burkhardt and Cooper ar rested the couple last night in a lo cal rooming house, where, it Is said, they were registered under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Clark. Falls refused tn pnter a charge against his wife. who is girlish appearance, and ap parently is not more than 18 years of age.

The government has bids to day from both the Lake Tor pedo Boat company, of Bridge port, Conn., and the Electric Boat company, of New York, for the construction of four subma rines for use in the Pacific. The New York company offers to build the boats on the Pacific coast, thus saving the cost of transferring from one coast to the other. While Its bids are somewhat higher than the rival concern, which would do the work at Its Connecticut works. It Is said the government probably will ac- cept two of the bids of the Elec- trie company. RAINS WILL END FIRES IN THE FORESTS (UNITED PRESS LEASED XTIHE. Portland, Or., Sept. 2.

ROBBED ONLY EXPRESS CO. Special Trains Carrying Posses Sent to the Scene and Pursuit of Rob. bers Began They Have Five Hours' Start, and, With tho Wild ness of the Country to Aid Them, Will Bo Hard to Capture. UNITED FBESS LEASED WMB.l Redding, Cal., Sept. 2. With a six hour handicap, the five men who robbed the Southern Pacific express train No. 15 forty-three miles nortli of here, are far in the lead of the officers today who are searching the wild country, which has been the scene of three daring robberies this summer. That the bandits carry a big sack of coin is admitted by the Wells Fargo Express company, but the exact amount Is withheld. It is believed here today that the men who made good their escape by automobile are the same robbers who successfully evaded the officers after other robberies. A negro, who was the only one to wear a mask, was the only new member of the gang. w bile the train was on a siding at Gibson, four miles above Lamoine, three of the bandits climbed in through me open uoor or tne express car, cov ermg Messenger . Meyers and his helper with guns. Two men remained outside to keep the coast clear until the train started southward. Engin eer Coleman and Conductor Dickey stuck their heads out and were fired at, the shots missing their mark. As the train traveled at a good speed the men blew open the two express safes with dynamite, which they handled with accuracy. The ex plosion hurled wreckage to all parts of the car, but nobody was hurt. The big tiack of coin was the only loot taken. Meyers was made to pull the signal cord, stopping the train and letting the robbers take to the timber. They were later reported to be seen in an automobile. Pulling in to Lamoine the trainmen notified the superintendent's office at Dunsmuir and before midnight special trains with armed posses from north and south were in pursuit.' Trainmen are positive that the ne gro was genuine and not a white man with burnt cork on his face. Loss Was $7000. San Francisco, Sept. 2. The Port land express arrived here today, and reported a loss of $701)0 at the hands of train robbers north of Redding. The train crew reported that the lien loaded their booty Into sacks and took to their automobile which they believe the thugs must desert on the Dunsmulr-Kennet road to escape into the hills. This would leave the ma chine for a valuable clue. The offlpers are puzzled as to how the men forced their way Into the Portland express car, which waB sup posed to be under lock and key. They (lid not dynamite their way Into the car. o SAYS RECIPROCITY WILL HAVE HARD SHEDDING UNITED PBESH LEASED WIRE.l Seattle, Wash., Sept. 2. Justice George Gray of the United States cir cuit court of Delaware, arrived here last night from a trip through Can ada.

HOT AIR ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE STRIKE Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 2.-Fol-lowlng the receipt of a telegram from San Francisco today, the contents of which are being kept secret, local la bor leaders today appear to be confi dent that General Manager Krutt schnltt, of the Harlrman lines will soon recognize the "system federa tion' as a body, and that all difficul ties will be amicably adjusted. Upon the arrival of the message, which Is believed to be from Presi dent Kline; of the Blacksmiths' Union, a closed meeting was hold by local leaders, nnd they emerged smil ing, and apparently confident of ul timate victory. As evidence that the conference in San Francisco between Krutlachnltt and labor representatives was not a failure, President Mlsner, of the Cen tral Labor Council, today stated that if the meeting had been fruitless word to that effect would have been received here. On the contrary, he said, things now look brighter than ever before for an amicable settle ment of all difficulties.
