TWO MURDERED
BY H|CHW AYMEN
Oregon Citizens Shot Down
Near Portland

PORTLAND. Ore. Nov. es.-
State Highway Commissjoner
Newton Burgess, Of Pendleton,
Oregon, and George r. Pcrringer.
. prominent Umatills county
rancher, were shot and instantly
killed about midnight by three
bandits, who robbed the Clare-
mont tavern, ak miles north Of
Portland.
Twrnty.fi guests IN the rosd-
house were robbed. as was the
safe at the tavern. the haul
amounting to about 5000.
The robbers escaped.
The police announced today they
had arrested three suspects, saying
they were confident one OF them at
least knows something about" the
robbery and murders
The shooting. which was the fea-
ture of one Of the most sensational
crimes ever committed in the Port
land locality. occurred when Burgess.
Perringer and companion. z. r.
Marshall, of Pendleton. were dining
in a private room at the tavern.
where they had stopped on their re-
turn to Portland from an automobile
ride.
Rob IS Guests
The three masked bandits entered
the tavern at 1880 o'clock. compelled
25 guests to assemble in the hall
room. lined them up and robbed
them Of their money and jewelry.
They subsequently robbed the safe
Of the roadhouse.
While one of the highwaymcn
guarded the victims. the other two
made search of the private dining
rooms finding Burgess. Perringer
and Marshall in one OF them. 1t Ia
presumed the robbers mistook the
actions OF the three Pendleton men
as a show of resistance and opened
fire.
Burgess was shot in the head ana
fell to the floor dead. A bullet
pierced the heart of Perringer, who.
after staggering a few steps. dropped
dead. Marshall escaped. but was
thrown into such state OF nervous
excitement he has since been unable
to coherently describe the fray that
cost the lives of his companions.
Thought Is Was Joke
The police announced today they
had received information that Bur
CESS and Perringer thought II was I
joke when bandits approached them
at the Claremont tavern last night.
'Stick up your hands. or we'll
shoot" Burgess was ordered.
Go ahead and shoot. them" ro-
piled Burgess.
The words had no sooner left his
mouth than the bandits fired. ending
the lives OF both Burgess snd Pr.
ringer

Blamed for INSTRUMENTATION
Among Workers.

Berlin.-The state arsenal at Span
dau, which has been shut down by the
government, has shown monthly def
cits of $S,75O,OOO for the last few
months. Estimates for April, May
and June indicated further total op-
Grating loss of $15,OOO,OOO. Attempts
to utilize the gigantic plant for peace
production are unsuccessful in its
present condition and it will have to
be dismantled and re-equipped.
The arsenal, which in peace time
employed 1900 hands and in the last
few years engaged 10000 workers.
since the revolution has developed into
hotbed Of radicalism. Communist
leaders openly engaged in the intimi-
datiOn of other workers, threatening
them with boycott and other forms Of
terrorism.
1t is stated also that the plant has
been grossly mismanaged, which grad
