Portland Ore, July 15.-Six masked
nlghWaymen held up an electric car on
the Oregon City line at midnight, shot
and painfully wounded Frederick Day

from the passengers, made their escape.
The robbery occurred at Eleventh
and Division streets. where the trolle ,
line crosses the Southern Pacific track.
Three men boarded ne car on the rear
and three on the front platform aud
rode some distance before they started
to rob the car. Five men went through
the car, compelling the passengers to
give up their money and jewelry. while
one man stood guard. Frederick Day.

quickly enough TO suit the highway

abdomen. He is seriously wounded
though the doctors say he viii probably

About forty people were on the car,
which was bound for Sellwood, a sub
urb.
After the robbery had been finished
five of the men dropped of the car, but
one remained and compelled the mo-
tOrman to run some distance farther at
high speed. When they reached the
timber two miles from town he left the
car. II was nearly an hour before the
police could be notified and the rob
bers had time to make good their
escape. After leaving the car the
guard held UP II. .. n. BittneT on Mil

few dollars in silver.

SURPRISE ALL AROUND
United States Seems to Have
Gobbled a Few More
Islands,

Washington, July 1.-THE reported
seizure of islands off the coasts Of
BorneO by American warships appar-
entity was as great a surprise to ad-
ministratiOn officials in Washington as
II was to members CT parliament IL
London. No Information that such n
step was contemplated has come from
The admiral commanding the American
Heet In Philippine waters. and no eX-
plOitatiOn along the lines indicated has
been directed by the officials here so
Tar as could be ascertained tonight.
y very plausible explanation of the
reported occurrence is that the COM
harding officer in the Philippines
simply had sent one or more of his yes
sells and hOisted the flag of the United
states over some islands near the coast
of BOrneo which were purchased by the
United States from Spain subsequent to
the treaty Of Paris and that the SOW
ereignty OF the United States over them
had been proclaim I'd formally. These
were - Cagayan Zulu group. compris-
ing one large and fourteen smaller
islands and the larger island of Pala-
wan These islands were not compre-
hended within the boundaries of the
Philippine archipelago when the treaty
of Paris was signed. The claim was
made later. however. that they right
fully belonged to Spain and that they
were formally coded to the United
States by a subsequent action of that
government and our congress made an
appropriation and paid the purchase
price agreed on for them.

STREET CAR MEN
ARE HELD UP
Robbery Occurs on First South
Line, at Thirteenth East.
LITTLE MONEY WAS SECURED
SECOND EVENT OF THE KIND IN
LESS THAN A WEEK.

THE second street car hold-up in
less than a week occurred last
night on the East First South
line near Thirteenth East one man
boarded the car and held up the mo-
tOrman and conductor at the point of
a gun. He compelled both men to ele-
vate their hands and keep them there
while he went through their pockets. He
secured about So in change, overlooking
nearly $50 which the conductor carried
in his inside coat pocket. The hold-up
was very deliberate and, according to
the street car men, did not appear at
all excited or nervous. He went through
the men as calmly as though he was
gathering fruit, but seemed angry at
the small amount of money he OBJ
taired.
Car No. u on the First South lie.
with MOtOrman c. T.. Harris and Con-
duCtOr G. McAllister. was just stan ting
toward town from the end OF the line
at about 1880 last night. McAllister
was at the controller and Harris was
inside. Just after the car started the
trolley went off and Harris started to-
ward the rear of the car to place It on
the wire. He had taken but a step TT
two when he bumped into a man in the
darkness, who commanded him to
throw up his hands. Harris did not
hear the command and was told the
second time. Thinking that the order
was a joke. Harris started past the
man to fix the trolley. AS he started
10 pass he ran up against the barrel Of
a revolver. Throw up your hands, "
called out the masked man. who was
getting real angry. The motOrman ele-
waited his hands and was marched to
the front of the car, where the con-
duCtof was ordered to do likewise. The
latter did not at first grasp the stu
alton. but upon being informed by the
motorman that they were held up,
raised his hands with great celebrity.
The hold-up went through the pOck-
cts of both men, getting from Harris,
the mOtorman. $3.50, while all ne could
find on McAllister was soc and a lead
dollar. Thinking that Harris was the
fare collector, he searched him very
carefully but overlooked almost $40 on
Harris the hold-up asked: What kind
of a line is this, anyway? Haven't you
fellows taken in more than this tOday?'
When the man had searched both
men he sauntered very leisurely to the
rear platform and departed. The street
can men reported the affair to the pO-
lice when they reached the city. but as
they could give no description Of the
man it is not very likely that he viii
be approached.
This is the second hold-up Of this kind
in less than a week. the other one tax
ing place at Twelfth East and Brigham
street only two blocks from the scene
OF last nights affair.

aged about 80 years. was literally
ground to pieces from the hips to the

twenty-one cars of a freight train
passing over him. Several ribs were
broken and internal injuries sustained.
He was attempting to steal a ride west
when the accident befell him. He was
brought to Price by the train crew,
where he died about six hours after
wards. Before passing away in the
freight warehouse, where he was
placed on a cot, he told the attending
surgeon that he came from good
family of Dublin. Ireland where his
father, Peter Byrne, is an alderman

tors earnest wish to afford the august
latent every opportunity of avoiding
mental effort
Patient Was Restless.
During the day the pope took a slight
amount of nOurishment. Through the
morning he was quite restless, shifting
uneasily on his bed and complaining
OF being unable to secure an easy po-
sitiOn. Later he became drOwsy and
during the afternoon had some sleep.
The assemblage of the doctors at $50
O'Clock two hours before the usual
time, was not due to any alarming turn
in the pOpe's condition, but through
the wish thoroughly to go over every
detail OF the situation.
The moderate tone Of the bulletin
that followed the visit gave an assur-
anCe that the patients condition was
practically unchanged. while the ex-
preston that the exhaustion Of his
strength had not increased afforded d
Slight note of relief.
Drank Water From Lourdes.
This evening his holiness complained
OF slight uneasincss in the chest. but
that he has not yet completely given
up hone was indicated by his remark
that ne expected the oppression of his
chest to pass off in few days. Dur
ing the day the pope drank a few
drops Of the healing waters from the
shrine at Lourdes. several bottles Of
which were sent to the vatican by the
French bishop ir whose see LOurdes is
situated.
II local paper gravely announces that
from the moment Pope Leo swallowed
the water an Improvement in his con-
dition became apparent.
Doctors Exhausted.
The doctors are well-nigh exhausted
With their unceasing cares. DR.. Lap
POM in particular spends his entire
nights as well as days in the sick
room. Just before midnight his wife.
wishing to see him, went to the vat
lean. She was taken to a corridor
near the sick room. where she saw her
husband for a few minutes. An inn
rOrtsnt case before the British con-
sular court in Rome requires the pres
enCe of DR.. Lapponi. but this is inn
possible because of the DOpes cOndi-
ton and also because the vatican af-
fords extra territorial privileges to all
within its precincts.
The total number Of dispatches in
curing about the DoDe's health re-
ceived at the vatican today reached
$4,000, including some lengthy cables
