son was Gagged between the sky
light and an iron bar grating when
the police arrived. Cyriel LENA,
night Waterman foe Lundt & Co.,
heard the noise IN the store west
Of Lundt 4 Co.. and called the po-
lice. Omcefs Wallins and Daebel-
fehn. who were 1t the station. re-
sponded. Omcers Peterson, and
Anderson heard the alarm bell ut
Fifth avenue and Fifteenth street
and also responded. The four po-
lfcemen and LENA effected the ar
rest and probably prevented the
robbery Of several thousand dol
lars worth Of clothing and furnish
ings. Several large burglaries SIM
liar to that attempted at tho Fitz
Gibbon store last night have been
committed In Davenport recently.
When the police arrived Wilson
had sawed one iron bar and had
nearly completed another. A few
minutes moro and he would have
dropped to the clothing store with
q clothesline that lay at his side.
Wilson says there were four men
in the skylight party. Wilson was
the only ono arrested.
The police have no report Of any
other men being seen IN the vicin-
ity Of the attempted robbery. Will
son was unable to explain how the
other men escaped. Chief DeJae-
ger believes Wilson had only one
accomplice, q negro, and not three
white men.
Others Probably Warned.
That part Of the Fitz Gibbon
store In the Reliance building
through which the robbers at
tempted to enter. is only one story
high. Wilson climbed to the roof
by the IRE escape. He removed a
section of the skylight and climbed
down into the cage. The alarm
bell at Fifth avenue and Fifteenth
street which summoned Officers
Anderson and Peterson may have
warned Wilson's accomplices.
Wilson has only q meager de-
scription Of these men.
II met them at the Palace thea
tre," he said. Il only met them
three hours before the officers got
me. / didn't see them before"

,0VERNOR TAXES TURN
AT PLOTTING PLANE ON
AIR TRIP TO PORTLAND

Governor Olcott returned this noon
ftom Portland whore he flew by air
plane yesterday in company with Lieu
tenant T. C. Kiel Of Mathcr flying
field. The trip was irifle longer than
the previous one on account Of taking
the westward route. There was nothing
to mar the pleasure Of the flight for
the governor, for although they took an
altitude of about 1000 feet they en-
countered no clouds. The governor in
dulged in the novel experience OF pilot
ing the machine fey part oil the dis,
tanee, under the coaching OF Lieutenant
Kiol. He found the manipulation Of the
plane surprisingly easy, but as the air
currents had made the upper stratum
very "bumpy" he was glad to turl the
levers over to the pilot after a short
time, not caring TO take any chances on
trouble. He had considered the matter
Of staying by the plane through the en-
tire trip to Seattle, but after arriving
at Portland decided it advisable to re-
turn to Salem.
After their arrival in Portland there
was spectacular display Of flying over
the field. Mrs. Petit, who accompanied
the other plane to Portland, took the
trip with as cool nerve as any member
Of the stern sex, and evinccd the great
est pleasure, declaring it was tine most
wonderful experience Of her life. Al
onc point on the trip her pilot took her
for climb above the clouds.
