PORTLAND TERRORIZED
BY MASKED BANDIT
Saloon Keepers Are Told to
Shoot without Parfey"

PORTLAND, Dec 21-Following a
recent series of holdups in which sa-
loon keepers and their patrons have
been the chief victims of a masked rob-
ber. Chief of Police Cox today advised
saloon keepers to ''shoot without parley
any one wearing a black mask"
This sanguinary advice is the result
of the absolute failure of the police to
run down the bandit or even to obtain
clew to his identity.

spiraey' to wreck the Taft administra-
tion and bring Roosevelt back to the
White House. This mysterious cabal
is referred to as the return from Elba
club"
President Taft takes no stock in this
story. The Call correspondent has it
on the best of authority that the presi-
dent stands by Pinchot as firmly as
ever. He does not want Pinchot to
leave the government service. He
thinks Pinchot is entitled to full credit
for working out the Roosevelt con-
servation policies.
While the president does not agree
in all details with Pinchot, he stands
with him solidly on the general poll
cies. At the same time at least two
of Pinchot's subordinates have given
great offense to the president in their
mistaken zeal in Pinchot's behalf and
the president is determined TO separate
them from the service. They are A. G.
Shaw, assistant law officer, and Over
ton w Price, associate forester. Evil
dence will be forthcoming to show that
they were active in the CLAWS case.
AIDED PUBLIC ATTACK
One of them, even after CLAWS had
been dismissed, assisted him in secur-
Ing the publication of articles which
President Taft regards practically as
attacks upon himself In view of the
presidents strict injunctions to the
heads of the departments to prevent
pernicious publicity and agitation of
the Pinchot -BalIinger controversy the
acts of Pinchot's assistants are re-
garded by the president as insubordi-
nate and highly mischievous.
The relations between the president
and Pinchot are apparently friendly.
Pinchot is not held TO be responsible
dent nor does Pinchot seem to be in
clined to resent the presidents enforce
ment of his order that subordinates
quarrels. Pinchot has made 1t plain
that he does not intend to resign and
the president some time ago halted the
Ballinger forces in their attempt to dis
lodge Pinchot. He directed them in
their answer to the CLAWS charges TO
leave Pinchots name out of their re-
ports.
The papers that Will be forwarded
to the senate in response to the Flint
resolution will not contain Pinchot's S
name. Attorney General Wickersham' S
report to the president on the CLAWS
charges, while generating Ballinger
and bennett, does not contain any in
timation that Pinchot inspired the Gla-
Wis charges.

ROADSIDE WATERING PLACES.
Good Chance to Combine Utility and
Beauty in the Countryside.

There is an excellent chance to com
bine utility and beauty In the erection
OF attractive and permanent watering
places in village streets and along coun-
try reads. The old moss-covered tub.
half buried in bank of ferns and wild
flowers, presents a picturesque appear
ance, no doubt but in a short time the
hoops of the tub give way, the slaves
fall in, and long interval may elapse
before the watering-place is again In
commission.
AS one drives about the country dur
ing the summer, he mentally "slzes
up" the character of the people and
the value of their farms by the appear
ance of their roads and roadsides. A
writer in Country Gentleman tells
how he happened to be in a certain
country village little while ago, and
saw there on the main street, at the
meeting place Of two roads, the very
attractive and substantial watering
place that is shown herewith. There
was no need to be told that the com
munity was progressive and intelli-
gent for It's character was writ in its
roads, its sidewalks, its roadside shade
