2 SHOT, 1 BEATEN BY ROAD BANDITS (By International News Service) EVERETT, Wash., July 24.—Two persons were shot, one probably fatally, one man was beaten and robbed, three automobiles held up, and loot valued at more than $350.00 seized by two bandits on the Pacific highway north of here early today. Finley McKee, manager of the Lyman Lumber Co., Hamilton, Wash., is at the Arlington hospital with a bullet wound thru both lungs and may die. Mrs. McKee, his wife, is at the same hospital with a wound thru both thighs. Accompanied by his wife and Walter J. O'Brien, C. E. Skellon of Spokane, stopped his machine to examine a suit case he observed in the middle of the pavement near Syrvanah. He was accounted by two armed and masked men and robbed of $3500 in cash, checks and jewelry. While the Skelton party was being searched, a machine driven by H. G. Royal, a one-armed man, arrived on the scene. He stopped to investigate and was threatened with revelers. A third car, driven by McKee, then approached. Seenting a hotup, McKee did not heed the command to stop. One bandit leaped to the running board and fired twice; one bullet passing thru McKee's lungs and the other thru Mrs. McKee's thighs. The bandits then boarded Royal's car and commanded him to drive on. A few miles from the scene of the first holdup they struck Royal on the head with a revolver, rendering him unconscious. They took $30 from him, threw him from the car, bound his one arm to his belt and escaped with his automobile. Snohomish-co. deputies began a search of the surrounding woods, but at an early hour no trace of the bandits had been found.

Some of the money had been made in a shop in Honolulu, some in a counterfeiting plant in the country and the remainder aboard a sampan in Kanehoe Bay where a complete plant was discovered.

A resolution passed by the Newport Beach Board of Trustees last night in favor of a plan by which an extensive frontage on Orange County Harbor would be improved for shipping purposes was put up to the Board of Supervisors for endorsement today. The board will endorse it. The plan tells of the organization of a syndicate headed by W. K. Parkinson, formed to take over the land holdings of the Pacific Electric Railway Company known as "Pacific Electric island." The contract has been let to dredge 1,000,000 cubic yards of earth from the county channel and turning basin and around the perimeter of the island, to fill the island to an elevation of 11 feet above mean low water mark and make its water frontage at once available for commercial use.

Fifteen thousand feet of water frontage will be made available, at an investment of approximately half a million dollars.
