L Ransacks Apartments at His Leisure and Then Makes His Escape. gl Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 21—A daring bur- glar chloroformed a family of five at 4 o'clock this morning, robbed the house at his leisure and escaped with considerable jewelry and $2% in cash. The members of the family of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Gertz of 410 Fremont street were the vic- Miss Lena Burke, Mrs, J. C. | 3 tims. They heard the burglar and knew | that he was operating in their midst, but were so stupefied by the drug which had been administered to them that they were unable to rise or to ery out for help. Be- fore entering the Gertz home the burglar tried to rob the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Plerce of 724 Uhion avenue, but was put to flight before he had an opportunity to administer the chloroform. It is thought that he went direct from there to the Gertz house. The neighbors in the immediate vicinity of where the burglary occurred are of the | bellef that the burglar is a peddler, who | has been hanging around for several days. He first entered the sleeping apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Gertz and chloroformed them. He then went to the rooms occu- pied by their sons, William, Emmet and Otto, and administered enough of the sleep producer to protect himself from in- terference their hands. Having chlo- roformed the entire household, the bur- glar began to search the apartments. He was heard by Willlam, the elder of the boys, and also by Mr. and Mrs. Gertz when he entered their room the last time. The darkness was too dense for them to see his features or to note his general appearance. They were cognizant of his presence, but were unable to move. None of the family knew just when the burglar left the house, but Gertz believes that he saw him pass out, going through the front door and down the steps to Fremont | street. The stupor under which Gertz was laboring was so great that he was unable to collect himself and defend’his home from the pilfering of the daring burglar. The same was true of Mrs. Gertz. burglar left the house before Gertz had recovered sufficiently to notify the po- lice. to-day, but aside from that none of the | tamily suffered from the effects of the drug. e o e e e e e e S ] ) DEGLARES TRUGT GLAUSE INVALID Judge Troutt Knocks Out Part of Will of James Stanton. e Dl T | Judge Troutt rendered a decision yes- terday in the suit brought by Mary F. ; Barron, daughter of the late James Stan- | ton, the ploneer capitalist, who dled in | October, 191, against John A., Frank J. and Willlam W. Stanton, her brothers, as executors of Stanton’s will. He held invalid the trust clause that | bequeathed to the executors as trustees | for the children propérty on Post and | Kearny streets and Mission and Fif- | teenth, and ordered judgment entered as prayed for by the plaintiff. The trust | clause was fought on the ground that it gave the children of deceased a life in- | terest in the estate, and that it was null | and vold because it overlooked . thefr | rights in the premises by directing that | it should go to their children upon the death of the last surviving child of the | testator. Stantog_left a fortune valued at many | hundred thousand dollars. He devised 1t to his five children, John T., Frank J. | and Willlam W. Stanton, Catherine T. Buckley and Mary F. Barron, share and | share alike, providing, however, that the Kearny and Mission street realty should . ! be held in trust by his executors (his three sons) for their children and the children of the other heirs. During the ce of the trust the heirs, that is, the five children of the deceased, were to enjoy the income therefrom. Mrs. Barron was the only one of the children dissatis- and within a year aft | commenced the action which resulted yes- | terday in the decision declaring her to be the absolute owner of a one-fifth interest in the realty. The .suit was .contested by the other heirs, they being satisfied with tne dis- position of the property. Mrs. Barron was rgpresented by Bishop, Wheeler & Hoeffler, and_her brothers and sister by Lloyd & Wood. . VALUABLE LANDS THROWN greatest land rushes ever known in the Northwest occurred to-day at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where fillngs were ac- cepted for the first time on the Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation and the newly surveyed land just thrown open for settle- ment. Nearly 50 men and womeh were lined up In front of the United States Land Office Wwhen it opened for business at 9 o’clock this morning. - Most of them had been waiting in line for forty-eight hours. Susan Pierce, aged 25, headed the crowd and was the first one | to file. She had remained at the door of the land office for three days and nights, thereby securing one of the most val- uable claims in Idaho. The lands thrown open comprise good farming property, together with a large strip of country which is highly mineral- ized. Rapid developments will follow to-day’s filings of claims, as many of the locators have money with which to make extensive improvements. Several fights occurred with land jumpers during the period of waiting. Last night there wera prospects that a lynching might take place because one alleged claim jumper insisted on getting into line and = filing, Several men were run out of the lobby of the land office under threats by home- steaders that they would never be al- lowed to file. Everything proceeded qui- etly to-day, the determination of the original locators preventing the filing of adverse claims by jumpers, —— i Tramps Murder a Youth.

STUDENTS GLASH DESPITE FAGULTY Lower Classes Meet in Old Time Struggle for Supremacy. | Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Aug. 21 The organization of the freshman class | at the University of California this morn- ing was the occasion of onme of the old- time clashes that were popularly supposed to have passed into tradition when three | men were compelled to sever their con nections with the univerfity last term | for taking part in rushes. The older { classmen, who are regarded as experts on | the game, say that this morning's little | strugsle In the old gymnasium was quite the finest thing they had seen in this par- | ticular line since the present seniors en- tered the university in 1900. The occasion of the little informality between the students this morning was the same as the cause tkat has inspired sophomores from the earliest traditions of the university to prevent the freshmen from organizing their class. To-day they were eminently successful, as they stormed £h& door to the Harmon Gymna- sium_and turned lines of fire hose on the men of the baby class who were listening to their chosen orators on the inside. The sophomores, fifty strong, formed a wedge | and threw themselves against the door of | the gymnasium time after time in perfect unison. The door had been considerably strengthened since the historic assault of 1900 and it was able to withstand the ter- rible onslaught with half a hundred fresh- men on the inside lending it their physical | support. It remained for one bright mind in the sophomore class to think out another and a more successful scheme of attack. A | door of lighter construction on the south | side was forced and with the a.. of a line | of fire hose the second-year men were | able to produce a startling effect upon the freshmen. In fact, the advent of the wa- ter made things so interesting and cavsed such an uproar that no one has since been able to find out who was elected to office. ; During all this Informality no member of the faculty was on the ground, Pro- fessor Cory, chairman of the students’ affairs committee, has no statement to make on the conduct of the men to-day, but an investigation will be inaugurated. —_———————— Close of the Astoria Regatta.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 21.—San Diego has had her first cyclone, it came at the extreme eastern edge of the county, on the banks of the Colorado River, and | more- than two hundsed miles from the | city which boasts so much of its climate. The little mining town of Picacho, some and without thir miles above Yum any communication by L ph or tele- phone with the outsi¢ world, was caught on Thursday afternoon and lost her | schoolhouse, the Picacho Mining Com- pany's store, the superintendent's resi- dence, several pretentlous residences and | a large number of miners’ cabins. The news that came out was directed to County Superintendent Baldwin, whose ald was requested by J. C. Mendenhall, the clerk of the Board of Trustees, who did not know what to do since their schoolhouse had gone down in the wind and there was no proper place for hold- ing school, which was scheduled to begin on_Monday. The mining camp is located in a little valley and the winds sweep down from the sides of the mountains at a lively rate at all times. This week has been fearfully hot on the desert, and that un- doubtedly had much to do with the un- expected visitation. The larger build- ings destroyed were adobe and some of the walls were very heavy. The superin- tendent’s house is only a mile from the schoolhouse and the store is off a little to the right. That no casualties are men- tioned 1s taken to indicate that the peo- ple had plenty of warning and were able to get out of the way. The wind was accompanied by rain, and that added to the destruction. —_———————— | VETERAN THEATRICAL | MANAGER PASSES AWAY John Ellsler, Father of Effie Ellsler, Dies in New York, Aged 82. NEW YORK.
