Gives X'p Revolver, After Being Placed in the County Jail. OREGON CITY. Or.. May in. (Spe cial.) After beinjr shot in the fore arm this afternoon. Thomas Tmaroj. a Slavonian, barricaded the doors of his house and kept a posse of nine men at bay for nearly an hour, but they finally rushed the house, broke in the door and captured the man, who is appar ently demented and had been wandering- in the woods for three weeks. Tmaroj was formerly an inmate of the insane asylum, being" sent there last Fall, and for some time thereafter his wife and two children, who were destitute, were cared for by neighbors. When Tmaroj returned he worked in the paper mill, but last month he threatened to kill two of the employes of the mill and brandished a knife. A warrant was sworn out for his ar rest, but ho fled to avoid capture, though Officers Miles and Bradley iired 11 shots after him. Today he returned home, iilli rl y fatigued and half starved by his long: stay in the woods, and Iepuiy Sheriff Baker headed a party to accomplish his arrest, Tmaroj met them at the door with an ax and defied them to enter, when a member of the party wounded him and finally he was secured and landed in the Count y Jail, where he calmly took a revolver from his pocket and handed the weapon, which lie made no attempt to use, to his captors.

PROVIDES FOR EXTRADITION Proposed Treaty Prohibits Capital Punishment for Fugitives. WASHINGTON. May "13. An extradi tion treaty between the United States and Portugal was the subject of nearly three hours' debate in executive ses sion of the Senate yesterday, the dis cussion fina !ly turning on the subject of slate rights. The treaty contains a provision which stipulates that a criminal extradited from Portugal shall not be subject to capital punishment. Senator Teller raised the point that to ratify the treaty with such a pro vision would be to say that a man guilty of first-degree murder could not be executed if such a man had taken refuge in Portuguese territory and later w;is surrendered to the United Stales under the treaty.. Other Senators on the Democratic side took the same stand. Several Ue imhliran Senators likewise criticised the provision. The treaty went over. A naturalization treaty with Portugal was ratified.

SAYS BRUTALITY WAS USED Robert Hunter Writes Open IiCtter About Meeting of Socialists. NT3W YORK, May 15. Three open let ters which he has written to Governor Hughes, to Mayor McClellaJi and to Com missioner of Police Bingham were made public tonight by Robert Hunter, man of means and Socialist worker and speaker. In them he gives what he calls a "de tailed account of what occurred at Union Square on the afternoon of March 28, 1808," the day of the mass meeting of the unemployed and the explosion of Selig Silverstein's bomb. Mr. Hunter says the account is compiled from the statements of eye-witnesses, mostly non-Socialists. In his letter to Governor Hughes Mr. Hunter suggests that the New York city charter committee be requested to place in the new charter "provisions that shall be in harmony with the rights granted to citizens by the constitution of tlie state." Mayor McClellan is asked whether it is the policy of the administration to sup press peaceable assemblies by the use of night sticks and mounted police." To Commissioner Bingham he urges the for mation of regulations which will make it impossible for "future assemblies of a peaceable character to be treated brutally by your subordinates." Mr. Hunter marshals a mass of news paper clippings and other documentary evidence to support his assertion that "a quiet and orderly gathering was broken up and dispersed by police brutality."

Only the sagacity of two faith ful dogs, today noon, stood between Mrs. Matilda Johnson, of 1909 East Union street, and the death she courted in the waters of Lake Washington. The scene of the rescue is near Madrona Park. Bruno, Mrs. Johnson's water-spaniel, and Dude, a cocker spaniel owned by C. F. Cushman, who lives, near the park in a houseboat, are the canine life-savers. Desperately they tugged at the struggling woman, barking for assist ance in the meantime until help ar rived. Mr. Cushman. dragged the woman from the water. Later she again waded out into the lake, but again Cushman rescued her.
