THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1907. 5 FAMOUS CONTEST ; FOB SPEAKERSHIP Only One Survivor of Historic Struggle in Congress of 1857. HE SERVED CONFEDERATES Seven Members of Southern Congress Still Survive English Officer . Tells Real Reason for Sur- ' render of Cornwallis. BT FREDERIC J. HASKIK. WASHINGTON. May 2. (Special Corre spondence.lParllamentary history in the United States contains no chapter more thrilling than the story of the long-drawn-out contest for Speaker of the Na tional House of Representatives which met in December, 1857, Just 50 years ago. After months of fighting the contest was ended by the election of Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts, to be Speaker. The members slept in the hall for weeks and did not dare to leave even for their meals. Many of them were armed, there were numerous fisticuffs, and the coun try at large feared more serious trouble. Of the 237 members of the House In that Thirty-fourth Congress but one survives. He is Judge John V. Wright, of Tennes see, now an attorney in the General Land Office at Washington. Galusha A. Grow, Speaker of the House during the CIvH War. and Russell Sage, the great finan cier, were the last of Judge Wright's col leagues to quit this mortal stage. Congressman on Both Sides. Judge Wright has had a career of more than ordinary Interest. A few weeks ago he returned to his native county in Ten nessee, which he had not visited for 26 years, and made a speech on the 55th an niversary of his first speech when run ning for the Democratic nomination for Congress. He was but 24 years old at the time. He received the two-thirds vote of the convention, but some one made the point that he was under age before the result was announced and the nomination was given to another man. Two years later he was nominated and elected, and served for six years In the Congress at Washington. While still a memebr of the Federal Congress he was elected to the Confederate sCongress, Tennessee having seceded from the Union. He went to Richmond and served In the Confederate Congress until Lee's surrender. He and Judge Roger A. Pryor, formerly of Vir ginia, but now of New York, enjoy the distinction of being the only -living men who served In both Congresses during the existence of the rival American Republic, one with its capital at Washington and the other with its capital at Montgom ery. After the war Judge Wright was made a judge, and In 1880 he was nominated for Governor of Tennessee by that wing of the Democratic party which was op posed to repudiation of the state debt. The division of the Democratic party caused the election of a Republican, and that Republican, Governor Hawkins, ap pointed Judge Wright to the Supreme Court of the state. During Mr. -Cleveland's first administration Judge Wright came to the service of the Department "of the Interior, where he has been ever since. He was chairman of the commis sion which went from 9t. Paul to Wash ington and Oregon in the '80s and made treaties with the Indians which resulted in the opening to settlement of many of the Northwestern States. Seven Aged Survivors. So far as Judge Wright has been able to ascertain, he is one of the -only seven survivors of the Congress of the Confederate States. Of these seven, four are from Tennessee, John V. Wright, Arthur S. Colyar. John D. C. Atkins and Joseph B. Helskell; two are from Virginia. John Goode and Roger A. Pryor; and the other is from Alabama, George W. Jones. Judge Wright will be eighty years . old in June and Is the youngest of these old Southern legislators. Colonel Colyar, who is eighty-eight, is the oldest. When Judge Wright came to Wash ington as a member of Congress, he brought letters from his father to Sen ator Sam Houston of Texas and to Thomas H. Benton, of Missouri, who had just retired from the Senate. These two men Introduced Mr. Wright Into the ways of Washington, and he now talks of them as familiarly as if they had quit the corridors of the Capitol but yesterday. Judge Wright's connection with public life covers' a greater period of time, perhaps, than that of any other living American. His memory is photographic and he is as vigorous as a man of sixty, keeps up with the things of today without forgetting what has passed and gone altogether he Is a most Interesting figure in Washington life. Why Cornwallis Surrendered. Colonel John Goode, formerly of Nor folk, Virginia, but now a lawyer in Washington, one of Judge Wright's surviving colleagues of the Confeder ate Congress, served several terms in the United States Congress after the era of reconstruction. He has recently published a book of recollections, which recounts many interesting stories of politics and war with which he was personally connected. He likes to tell a story connected with the cen tennial celebration of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to General Washing ton, held at Yorktown on October 19, 1881. Colonel Goode was the member of Congress from that district and In charge of the ceremonies. A British naval officer left his ship at New York and came to Yorktown, incognito, to see the Americans cele brate the victory, which lost the col onies to the 'English crown. Yorktown had changed but little in the century since General O'Hara handed Corn wallis' sword to General Lincoln and It was not a prepossessing place. At the banquet, the Identity of the naval officer was revealed and he was called upon to respond to the toast "To Merrle England." In his speech he declared that he was glad he came, because for the first time he understood what had puzzled him from his boyhood why Cornwallis surrendered. "After seeing Yorktown," he said, "I realize that there is but one thing that could be done to It. and that is to surrender and leave it." While all the rest of the country was making war on hawks, and owls, which a farmer devoutly believes to be his worst enemies. Dr. A. K. Fisher, as sistant ornithologist in the United States Department of Agriculture, was calmly and quietly collecting evidence in favor of his feathered clients. Every day for a long while he visited the tower of the Smithsonian Institution In Washington, where a colony of barn owls had taken refuge, and un der their eyrie he gathered the queer little balls of fur and bones that the owls cough up after each meal. Some queer process of assimilation makes the bones of devoured animals or birds gather in bunches In each owl's stomach, and around these bones the fur colects until a neat fuzzy ball an inch or so in diameter, filled with broken bones, is the result of the di gestion. Then the owl regurgitates this ball and only the meat is left in his digestive apparatus. ' From these balls Dr. Fisher collected his evidence. Under a microscope they showed that each owl had eaten chiefly mice and rats, that tie had destroyed few helpful birds, and had consequently done much good and very little harm In the world. From this and other evidence collected in different parts of the country Dr. Fisher has presented a line of denfense for the owl and the hawk that surely ought to help in their preservation and protection.,. To William R. Smith, head of the National Botanic Garden In Washing ton, belongs the distinction of having the largest collection of Burns' poetry In the world. Mr. Smltn has no less than 60.) different editions of his fa vorite author's work, the books rang ing in value from J1000 down to the cheapest editions. His library is really two rooms divided by an arch, and in the first one the Burns- treasures are kept in quaint bookcases with hlgh pointeci, doors. while photographs, paintings, engravings and sketches of Burns and of Scotch scenes adorn the walls. To each of his young friends who marry Mr. Smith gives a copy of Robert Burns' poems. . . , . If, all women in the United States were as zealous in their efforts to pre serve facts and verify statements as Mrs. Caroline Hanks Hitchcock, of Cambridge. Mass., has been, there would be fewer errors in National his tory. Mrs. Hitchcock is a member of the famous Hanks family that has been known in Massachusetts, Virginia and Kentucky for Its own sturdlness, as well as for the fact that Lincoln's mother was a member of It. . Speaking of her work a friend of - the Lincoln family said: Lincoln's Lineage Vindicated. "Many years ago politicians and en emies of Lincoln made many grave and pitiful statements about Lincoln's an cestry, saying that not emy the name of his mother, but that of his grand mother, was In doubt, that the bar sinister should have been placed on the family shield. It was an assertion that must have greatly hurt a proud man, and his enemies made much capi tal of it. Even a historian gave it as truth when writing the life of Lin coln. Mrs. Hitchcock set about prov ing the falsity of this statement. She has spent many years of tireless study, following the line from Virginia through Kentucky into Indiana and Illinois, and from land records, church records and signed testimony of old Inhabitants, has proved that there is no stain whatever on the good name of Hanks, and that Lincoln had never a hint of shame to nis good name." Since the old church at Jamestown is too far gone to' admit of restoration, Episcopalians of Virginia have re stored the next oldest church In which services have been continuously, held. This Is Old Bruton Church at Williams burg. The Washlngtons, the Ran dolphs and the Lees worshiped there, and in the restoration the pews have been named for prominent men of Vir ginia's history. King Edward has donated the Bible for the restored church. Just as . his royal predecessors gave the silver com munion service still in use. and the lec tern is the gift of President Roosevelt, who bas displayed the greatest inter est in the work and has lent his influ ence to its revival.

"I will not call out the state militia to quell the riots in San Francisco until the civil authorities have asked me to do so or I am satisfied from my own investiga tion that there Is no other way to han dle the situation." said Governor James N. Gillett tonight. i "I am watching the situation closely, and will act the mo ment I believe it necessary. "I am now waiting for advices from Adjutant-General Louck," continued the Governor, "and I am depending en: tirely upon him to advise me as to the exact situation. If the riots go on and they continue to kill men there and the police are unable to stop it, I will call out the militia. There will be no child's play about It. either, if I take that action. I will see that the riots are stopped." TELEPHONE GIRLS WEAKENING Will Lose Strike Unless. Backed Up by Linemen. SAN FRANCISCO, May 7. Despite the enthusiasm shown by several hun dred girls at the meeting of the strik ing telephone operators today, the in dications are that, unless the linemen go out and complicate the sicuatlon, the company will have practically a complete force at the switchboards within the next few days. A committee of linemen waited on President Scott, of the telephone com pany, to Intercede for the striking op erators today. Mr. Scott informed them that he could not take any action until after he had consulted with the executive board, and that he would probably call a meeting in a few days. INDICTED FOR REBATING Four Railroad Companies Under Fire for Numerous Offenses. NEW YORK, May 7. Indictments charging violation of the Elklns anti rebating act were handed down by a Federal grand jury today against the Chicago. Rock Island. & Pacific Rail road, the Ontario & Western Railroad, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway and the Western Transit Com pany. All the Indictments contain sev eral counts, the largest number being in that against the Ontario & West ern, which charges SO separate of fenses. That the American Sugar - Refining Company was Involved in the charges out of which grew today's Indictments could not be confirmed. In fact. It was rumored that the alleged rebates were granted on shipments of commodities other than sugar. United States Attor ney Stlmson intimated that the sugar company was not concerned In all of the Indictments, and added that It might not be concerned In any of them. It Is known that the grand jury investigated shipments of grain, cat tle, agricultural Implements, oil and other commodlltles. It Is said the case will be called for trial within a few days. TORNADO STRIKES TEXAS Nine Lives and Great Property Loss In Wake. MOUNT PLEASANT. Tex.. May 7.

The towns of Rldgeway and Birthright, 40 miles west of here, are reported prao tlcally destroyed. ' MOB DRIVES GARS (Continued From First Pace.) moment from t the bedsides of their wounded companions. Practically all o' the reserve forces at the various precinct stations have been called out aud are now patrolling the neighborhood of Fillmore and Turk streets, where is the greatest congestion. The bloody events of the' afternoon were preceded by a less serious clash at 11 o'clock in ' the forenoon, when a freight car manned by five Inspectors and Barn Superintendent Jones - was run out of the vard at Turk and Fillmore streets and operated for half a block. The crowds showered the car with brickbats and . stones and slightly injured two of the lnspecto.-s. Finally all attempt to operate the car was given up and it was run back to the yards by Jones himself, with union men swarming on the plat forms and joining in the cheers that were sent up toy the mob. Four Shot From Car Windows. An Associated Press man, who rode on horseback behind the string of cars, which started from Turk street, saw four men shot from the glass car windows. The first shot was fired at the intersec tion of Turk and Buchanan streets toy a guard from the rear platform of the car that headed the string of seven. The bullet struck a young man. standing on the curb and inflicted a flesh, wound In his arm. The shot was not fired until most of the windows of the car had been' smashed with stones, . several of which had struck and severely bruised some of the guards on board. ' The shooting of this man aroused the mob to a pitch of frenzy.- Paving stones and other obstructions were cast on the track and in that way the car was brought to a standstill a block further on. -Hurling any missiles that came easiest ' to hand, cursing and screaming for the lives of the strikebreakers hun dreds of men and boys surrounded the car. - In a moment a fusillade of shots rang out and the crowd fell back in fear. The obstructions were cleared -away and the car proceeded, followed a block be hind by two others. . Shoot Again and Again. The sound of the shots apprised the main crowd In the neighborhood of Fill more and Webster streets that a battle was on and more than 1000 men and boys came running down Turk street In pur suit of the strikebreakers, who, standing to their posts, shot again and again' into the crowds indiscriminately, as repeated showers of stones struck and injured them. At VanNess avenue a youth of perhaps 20 was shot through the lungs. He pitched forward Into the street, whence he was lifted and thrown onto a mattress in a furniture van. He was hurried to the Emergency Hospital at Golden Gate ave nue and Gough street. Still the mob, checked but not dismayed by the rain of bullets, kept up a running pursuit of the slowly moving cars, stoning them and cursing their guards. Just beyond Van Ness avenue the first relief squad of police arrived in a patrol wagon. The mob stoned them, too, but presently desisted on being implored by union pickets, who shouted frantically: "Boys, don't hit the cops; they are our friends." The mob called on the officers to ar rest the dozen or more guards on the first three cars. Very few of the police men drew their clubs. They, tried to persuade the maddened men and boys to disperse, but without effect. One union man, who was loudest in the denunciation of the strikebreakers, created a dramatic scene. While the smoke from the emptied pistols of the guards still hung about the shattered cars, he threw off his coat, raised his arms and wildly offered himself as a sacrifice to their bullets. At Turk and Hyde streets. three blocks east of Van Ness avenue, the guards again turned loose their weapons on the following crowd. In the fusillade a policeman was shot - in the back, pre sumably by accident. None of the strikers or their sympathizers exhibited a pistol or used weapons other than stones and bricks. Along the line of skirmish, from Webster street as far as Franklin, gar bage cans were taken from the curb and their contents thrown at the guards. The first two ears succeeded In. getting as far as Market street, where officers from the Central Police Station, in Eddy street, arrested the- guards and took them to headquarters, where they were booked under what charge the police re fuse to say. Scott Alone Charges Mob. Second and third relief squads from the Central Station, under command of Cap tains Scott and Duke, raced out Turk street in carriages and automobiles. Cap tain Scott was the first officer observed to use actual force in an effort to dis perse the crazed mob. Leaping from his buggy, he drew his club and struck right and left. After he had - knocked down four or five of the strikers and their sympathizers, the salutary effect of hl manner of treatment became apparent; the mob broke and began to run. As Captain Scott pursued them with raised club, he tripped over a paving stone end fell headlong in the street. At this the mob set up a shout of delight and mis siles of all sorts were hurled fft the prostrate man. He picked himself up and gave chase. Captain Duke, arriving a few minutes later, followed Captain Scott's tactics and, with half a dozen burly patrolmen, beat back and scattered the crowd, which retreated, jeering, to ward the car barns at Turk and Fill more streets. Competent observers of the rioting ex pressed freely the opinion that the tragic happenings of the afternoon might have been in large measure averted if an ade quate police force bad been on hand and if the police had not hesitated to use force in opposing violence. AH of the wounded men were re moved to the Emergency Hospital. In anticipation of an attempt to start cars, a crowd of 6000 .people gathered about the carbarns at Turk and Fill more streets early this morning, totally blocking traffic on both streets. Dr. C. C. O'Donnell spoke from an Impro vised rostrum, advising the carmen that the railroad company had violated the laws and was entitled to no considera tion. First Outbreak of Day. ' The first clash came at 11 A. M., when the freight car was run out of the Fillmore-street barn, manned by In spectors, who had lost their member ship in the union by promotion to their present position. The hooting, jeering crowd followed. At Webster street a teamster drove his heavy wagon directly across the tracks in front .of the car and refused to move. This blocked the car, and It was immediately surrounded by the union men and sympathizers.- number ing upwards of 6000. Finally a Sergeant of police compelled the teamster to move, and he then resorted to zigzag ging across the street, so that the progress of the car was interrupted. At first the mob attempted to block the right of way by packing In front of the car, where It stood and howled jeers at Inspector Drohman, who was at the controller. The car, however, moved slowly forward, and then a auhower of stones and brickbats was thrown at it. The boarded-up win dows were smashed. Drohman was struck on the chest by stones, but he stuck to his post. The squad of ten policemen, under command of Sergeant Eastman, made no serious attempt to pro tect the car or clear the street. The car proceeded half a block, when the missiles became so thick that the motorman had to take refuge Inside. Blood Dripping From Jaw. His place was taken by Inspector Cummins. A stone struck Cummins on the jaw, but with blood dripping from his face he stayed by the controller, though he made no effort to run the car. Union pickets went among the mob, imploring them not to throw stones. They were jeered by union men and sympathizers. The police with one ex ception did not even draw their clubs. Finally Superintendent Jones took the controller and started the car back to the yard. Though this move was greet ed with tremendous cheers and the throwing up of hats, the hurling of missiles did not cease until a crowd of union pickets clambered aboard the car and yelled to the crowd to desist. The car was finally run back to the yard. y President Calhoun's girder to the men of the union that they should return to work at 8 o'clock this morning or con sider themselves discharged brought no response from the carmen. Not one of them deserted the union. A large crowd was gathered around the United Railroads barn at Turk and Fill more streets all night, but the presence of 100 patrolmen under command of Cap tain Gleason kept the crowd at a distance and prevented any attack on the com pany's property. At midnight the police men's places were filled by 100 other pa trolmen, who will keep guard until morn ing. - E TO fiESW PEACE LABOR . COUNCIL' INVITES CITI ZENS TO HELP. Appoints Committees to Settle Pend ing and Prevent Further Strikes. SAN FRANCISCO, May 7. At a special meeting of the San Francisco Labor Council tonight the first step toward securing general Industrial peace in this city was taken. The meeting was very largely attended, but. was brief. A committee of 11 prominent members was appointed as a peace committee, and an Invitation was extended to the Civic League to appoint a representative body to meet with the peace committee tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at the labor temple. An invitation was especially extended to A. W. Scott, Jr., Newton C. Wells, Robert A. Roose, Isador Jacobs and Frank Marvin, of the League.

M. J. Sullivan, vice-president of the International Union of Linemen, was added to the sub-committee and the linemen received favorably their prop osition to defer action on a strike un til all labor troubles are adjusted. Another sub-committee was appointed to settle the laundrymen's strike. . The Labor Council Issued an appeal to all union men to refrain from con gregating In the vicinity of car barns or in any neighborhood where there is any possibility of trouble occurring. WILL BUILD NO MORE SHIPS Schwab Says Labor Unions Drive Away Navy Contracts. SAN FRANCISCO. May 7. Charles M. Schwab, ex-president of the United States Steel Corporation and president of the Carnegie Company prior to the organiza tion of the steel corporation, heavily in terested in large shipbuilding works in the East, chief owner of the Bethlehem Steel Works and the principal holder in Harlan and Holllngsworth, of Wilming ton, Del., made a flying trip to San Fran cisco yesterday. Mr. Schwab in an inter view yesterday stated: "Our concern will never take a battle ship or any other kind of a ship to be built in San Francisco as long as the labor conditions are maintained as at present. We lost 12.600,000 on the last three battleships contracted for and have lost more money in our 'work in San Fran cisco than we have made at our other works throughout the different parts of the country. We shall not take any work of any magnitude under the labor conditions existing in San Francisco. I never have seen anything like it before, anywhere. "When we took control of the Union Iron Works Henry Scott had already con tracted for these three ships, and then the men were working 10 hours a day, but this did not exist long before It was nine hours. It is not so much the time as it Is greatly because of their inferior and inefficient workmanship that we ob ject, as the same standard has not been maintained. "I want to state in the interest of your great city that unless labor conditions cbange here all manufacturing must stop, as no living man would dare bid on fu ure contracts with your labor organiza tions 'constantly raising wages and re ducing the hours of labor." CALHOUN APPEALS TO PEOPLE Says Issue Is Raised Whether Law Shall Be Enforced. SAN FRANCISCO, May 7. Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Rail roads, tonight issued the following: To the People of San Francisco The time has arrived for the enforcement of law and order. The humblest citizen in this com munity has a right to work. The issue has been squarely raised. Shall striking ex-employes, their friends and sympathiz ers, paralyze by force and violence our street railway service? Shall mob violence rule, or shall law be enforced T Shall Indi vidual liberty be preserved? . When the. United Railroads attempted to resume the operation of Its cars today. Its employes were assailed by a fierce arid vio lent mob; dangerous rioting ensued; many men were injured. I appeal to you to pre serve the peace. My company will spare no effort to resume lawfully and peaceably the operation of its cars, but it will not be driven to compromise with wrong, and It will fearlessly defend Its rights. The Issue rests with you. Mr. Calhoun also issued to the press a brief epitome of the day's events, calling attention pointedly to the fact that no shot was fired by the strike breakers until after they had been re peatedly made the target of missies thrown by the crowd.
