BURGLARS SECURE
$145 IN GOLD

Burglars evidently familiar with the
premises, broke into and robbed the
house of R. C. Randell, 81 San Julian
street, during the absence of the family
last night. One hundred and forty-five
dollars in gold was taken from a purse
in a bedroom. Nothing else was
touched. The robbers gained entrance
through front window. 1t is thought
that whoever took the mney was aware
of its presence in the house, but Mr..
Randell states that according to his
belief no person knew 1t was there.

RECALLS A FAMOUS ROBBERY
Bv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Dec. 2.-Anton Fritz,
who was killed today at San Fernando,
came to Portland from Pittsburg, Pa,
less than year ago with $4,000.
Fritz reported to the police about
four months ago that his pocket had
been picked of $4,000 by a woman
whom he had undertaken to befriend.
Later a private detective recovered
$4,000 in Chicago, and caused the arrest
of negro named Morgan and a ne
gress known as THE Candy Kid" at
Salt Lake City
Nothing came of the arrests because
Fritz's stories conflicted. At one time
he would declare he had been robbed
by woman and another that his room
had been robbed after the woman
episode.
Fritz went to Los Angeles two weeks
ago to visit a daughter
Fritz's attorney in this city says the
man was mentally unbalanced.

Thieves BREAK
INTO MAIL BOX
INDICATIONS POINT TO WORK
OF GANG
Methods Used on Box at Tenth and
Albany Streets Same as Last
Week, When Others
Were Robbed

Mail box thieves were busy agair
last night, the box at Tenth and AL.
bany streets being broken into in the
same manner as the eight boxes
Thanksgiving night All the mail was
stolen from it and a large amount
was evidently carried away. Some few
letters were torn to bits and the pieces
were scattered around the box. 1t is
thought by the police that the robbers
at first intended to follow the methods
pursued during the first robbery, name
ly, to open all letters on the spot, but
that they were frightened away by the
appearance of pedestrians before they
box which had been tampered with.
The box was evidently broken open
early last night, as a report of it was
received at the police station about 8
o'clock. All the patrolmen in the city
were at once notified and instructed to
keep their eyes open for suspicious ap-
pearing persons who were in the vicin-
ity of mail boxes during the night. They
were also instructed to notify the sta
tion as soon as they discovered any
box which had bee ntampered with.
Same Gang at Work
Postoffice inspectors who were noti-
fled of the robbery went at once to the
scene and speedily gave it as their
opinion that it was the work of the
same gang that robbed the first eight
boxes. The lock was torn off appar-
emily by the same heavy lever or immy,
and marks of heavy, large sized shoes
were plainly seen in the mud near the
pole on which the box hung.
Since the robbery of the first boxes
the postoffice department took entire
charge of the matter until the robbed
box was discovered last night, when
the police We're again brought. into the
case. They will now endeavor to do all
in their power to run down the guilty
ones and bring them to justice.
The boldness with which the work
is done has led the police to join in
the belief that it is the work of an
organized gang who are making a
practice of travelling to different cities
and robbing boxes, and the police are
confident they have a shrewd gang to
deal with.

ton of it to the peace commissioners,
but he greatly deplored it, believing
it's effect would be disastrous.
He said he was firm in the belief that
the only means of establishing peaceful
conditions consists in the election of an
entirely new congress, whereas the
proposed election, which would result
in turning over the government to the
Liberal control, would surely result in
a new insurrection the moment the
American troops were withdrawn from
the island.
The fact was, said Gen. Rivera, that
the United States had ignored this,
which was patent to all Cubans, and
pointed irresistibly to the conclusion
that if the United States withdrew it
would be with the full recognition of
the necessity for speedy return and
the consequent extinction of Cuban
independence.
