MAN WILL NOT PROSECUTE Henry Liill, Teamster, Who Was Shot by Portland Man's Iaughter, Will Live Says He Will I-et the Young Woman Alone. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10. iSpecial.) Enraged because her suitor, Henry Lill, a teamster, forced his attentions upon her and beat her on the street, Agnes Fair- weather, a. substation postoffice clerk, shot the man down, at Twenty-flnst and Mission strets, late Thursday night. Lill's condition, although considered serious at the outset, has improved. He says he win not again force his attentions on the girl, neither will he prosecute her. Yesterday the 19-year-old young wo man pleaded for forgiveness at her mother's knees at the family home, 760 Wisconsin street. There, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she knelt at her mother's side and asked forgiveness from her for the act of a short time before, when she had drawn a revolver from a holster strapped at her waist and had shot a man in the back. Mother Cautioned Daughter. Caution and prudence In the face of persecutions of the rejected suitor had been the counsel of the mother. The father. George Fairwcather. is -working in Portland. Both mother and daughter had feared a serious clash between Agnes and Henry L.H1. a on three occasions the girl say he has attacked and torn her clothing from her. Miss Faltrweather was admitted to ball at the City Prison early this morning. George Redmond, the druggist by whom she Is employed, in the substation, de posited $100 for her appearance later in the day in Police Judge Deasey'e court. The hearing on a charge of assault to commit murder was continued until De cember 17. After the court porceedlngs Miss Fair weather left in the company of friends and has not been home since. Homo Is Closed. At the Fairweather residence the doors are locked and the shades drawn. A wo man who says she is "Mrs. Robertson," a trained nurse, stated last night that Mrs. Fairweather had been removed to a sanitarium in a state of collapse and Miss Fairweather was with friends in Western Addition. Mrs. Robert Carlson. 2368 Mission street, a sister of the girl charged with assault to murder, has not seen her sister since the shooting. She says Agnes and Henry Lill were en gaged at one time. The Fairweather girl told Druggist Redmond and the police that she was simply driven to desperation by the at tacks of Lill on her, and when he ac costed her on Mission street, while she was in the company of David Symonds, a friend, she couldn't stand it longer, so shot him. Redmond, by whom she had been employed for more than a year, says her conduct had always been exemplary. Until the night she took his revolver from the store and used it, he says she had always been afraid to go near the weapon, pon. The shooting, according to the story told, followed a year of persecution. Lill had known her for more than three years, and she saya that his attentions have grown distasteful to her for the last Vi months. Thursday night the teamster stationed himself outside near the drug store and followed Miss Fairweather to Ellis street and Van Ness avenue, where he tried to make her board a car with him. The girl refused, and he beat her on the face and arms. Bystanders Interfered, and then the young woman took a car to the Mission. She attended the Star Theater, at Mission and Twenty-fourth street, and found when she came out that Lill was following her. Then she fired upon him. "I have known Lill for more than three years." said Miss Fairweather, "and for the last year I have tried my best to break off with him. He kept after me, however, and would give me no peace." David Fairweather, father of Miss Ag nes Fairweather, is a machinist connected with the Alblna Machine and Engineering "Works, and lives with his son. who is an apprentice at the same shop, at 364 Ross street.

ONCE TERROR TO WHITES Resistance to Building of Union Pa cific Across the Continent Led. by Him Type of Red Man Never Civilized. CHARRON. Neb., Dec. 10. Red Cloud, the famous Sioux chief, died at his home near Pine Ridge agency, South Dakota, last night, of old age. He was SS years old. He has a number of children liv ing among the Sioux. He had two wives, both of whom are dead- He was a noted Sioux warrior, his hos tility beginning in the uprising of 1S90 at the battle of Wounded Knee. He had made annual trips until last year to the ranch of his friend. Captain Cook, In Wyoming, but last year waa too feeble to go. Cared For bjr His Son. His son. Jack Red Cloud, has cared for him in his declining years, which have been spent in comparative civiliza tion, where formerly this chief carried terror to the hearts of frontiersmen. Of late he had been Instrumental In keeping his brothers quiet and aiding the Government in looking after the welfare of its wards. Red Cloud ne gotiated the treaty with the Govern ment for the Black Hills territory and was In command of the Indian forces at the Fort Fetterman massacre. Chief Over Wide Expanse. Chief Red Cloud 'first became known as an important personage in Indian affairs in 1865, when he became sub- chief of the Brule-Sloux tribe. His tribal territory extended from the North Platte River to the Big Horn Mountains, and west to the Black Hills. He was known as a hostile Indian and caused continued trouble by his forays against small military posts, stealing Government livestock and at tacking immigrant trains. He was the compatriot of such chiefs as Spotted Tail, Standing Elk. Amer ican Hofse. Man-Af raid-of-His-Horses and Big Ribs. Early In 1866 Red Cloud deposed Big Ribs, his head chief, on account of age. extended his own dominion over the Ogallalla Sioux and represented prac tically all divisions of the Sioux tribe in the treaty meeting: at Fort Laramie. Railroad Building Resisted. The question at issue at this con vention was the building of the Union Pacific Railroad through Sioux terri tory. Red Clouds following of 5000 hosMle Indians accompanied him to Laramie. It was agreed that the" rail road should pass up the Platte Valley. but Red Cloud and his braves opposed the opening of the "Bozeman trail," extending northwest from Laramie. Thich was the ideal hunting; grounds of the Sioux. . When the treaty meeting was in session two companies of regulars ar rived, and without awaiting the result of the meeting, occupied the Bozeman trail. In defiance of Red Cloud's re monstrance, the expedition marched through the Sioux country. Red Cloud rose from the convention, and, declaring the whites had betrayed him, said: "You may take my country, but I will mark every mile of your road from North Platte to the Yellowstone with the bodies of your soldiers." Hard Fighter Until Crushed. When the wily-chief and his follow ers left Laramie, they took the pre caution to drive off several hundred cattle, horses and mules belonging to the Government. He then organized Sioux forces over a wide territory and began a war which had its climax in August. 1867, when with his braves he received a crushing blow irom the Eighteenth Infantry. His followers lost confidence in their leader and Red Cloud was cornered in 1869. He was placed on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Where he had remained ever since. Red Cloud was the last of the great Indian chieftains. He belonged to a class of aborigines which never was civilized. KLAMATH FALLS ACTIVE Grand Jury to Investigate Alleged Liquor-Law Violations.

PAPER MEN INVADE NORTH Extensive Pulp Mills Are Reins; Erected In British Columbia. OREGONI AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 10. Further Information with regard to the "manufacture of paper and wood pulp in British Columbia is con tained in a report just received by the Department of i Commerce and Labor from Consul-General George N. West,, of Vancouver, who says: "The British-Canadian Wood Pulp & Paper Company (Limited), to which reference has previously been made, has now commenced operations at Its mill at Port Mellon on Howe Sound, about 25 miles from Vancouver. This location is especially advantageous for the shipment of Its product, aa vessels of the largest tonnage can load direct from the mill, the port being sufficiently landlocked to provide safe moorings for vessels, and there being an abundance of water power available to run the mill- The product will at present consist of the coarser kinds of paper for wrapping purposes, butchers' Nos. 1 and 2 maniia, building, and drab and colored fiber papers. Fur ther improvements are in progress or about to be undertaken which will In crease the daily output from 25,000 to 100.000 pounds, the larger optput being designed mainly for export trade. The cost of the plant as at present installed represents a cash outlay of $250,000. and the timber holdings and o'ther assets $250,000 additional. The company owns 56,569 acres of forest at Quatsino Sound, on Vancouver Island, but outside of its own holdings it will not have any trou ble in procuring supplies, as large quanti ties of short ends of timber, tops and fallen timber are available at a cost of $3.50 per cord delivered. "The Brboks-Scanlon Lumber Company, of Minneapolis. Minn., has also recently acquired a wood pulp and paper-making concession from the provincial govern ment. This company has filed Its cash bond of $50,000 as a guaranty of good faith for the erection of a pulp mill and the manufacture of pulp, and is now proceeding with the erection of a mill. "American Interests in forest holdings and in the manufacture of lumber of all kinds are steadily increasing in thfs province." WOOD FLOOR, BIG ASSET V. ; S. ADVISED TO COXSKRVJE ALL- ITS SAWDUST. In Manufacture of Dynamite It Ex cels Earth As' Flooring It Brings Bg Price. OREGONT A N NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 10. Flour from sawdust is another step in the movement for the. conservation of forest resources. The United States Consul at Christiania, Nor way, has sent to this .Government a sug gestion along this line which may be of value to. American lumbermen (who are wrestling with the problem of sawdust waste. The flour in question is not the kind which goes into the making of light, fluffy biscuits, and the other kind which are not light, or flaky pastry, but it is an ingredient of dynamite, linoleum, xyollte, which, for the information of the man on the street Is a kind of artificial flooring, and other things. It Is not put forward as a new discovery, for It has been in use for several years in Europe, and to a small extent in this country. The wood flour Is ground in cheap mills, very similar to those which grind .corn and rye. Pine and spruce sawdust is used in Europe, and after passing through the stones and the bolting chest, it is sacked or baled, for shipment. It is then worth $12 to $13 a ton. The flour has a number of uses, one of which is in the making of dynamite. It is the absorbent for the, nitroglycerine, the explosive Ingredient. Wood flour dyna mite is inferior to that made with in fusorial earth as the absorbent; but it serves many purposes, and is cheaper. But dynamite is one of the smallest pros pective uses for the product. Linoleum makers mix it with linseed oil and give body to their floor coverings. It is not considered quite equal to ground cork for this purpose, as it is less elastic; but it is cheaper and meets requirements for medium grades. The flour fills an important place in the manufacture of xyolite. a kind of ar tificial flooring, resembling wood in weight, and stone in other respects. It is used for kitchen floors, and in halls, corridors, safes, restaurants and public rooms. It is impervious to water, and Is practically fire proof. It is floor material in some of the German war vessels. It Is so used because it is not liable to take fire or splinter if struck by shells.

MONEY TO BE FURNISHED Hawley Says He's Sorry, but Now Business Will Be Tied Up Coal Famine Already Immi nent, He Avers. CINCINNATI, Dec. 10. The American Federation of Labor will support the rail road switchmen on strike in the North west to the extent of its powers. This announcement was made today by Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri can Federation, after an extended con ference -with Frank Hawley. president of the North American Switchmen's Union. It is taken to mean that if railroad offi cials do not concede demands of the strikers, the trouble may be spread until it involves other great labor organiza tions in the railway field. "We will support the switchmen both financially and morally." Unions in Sympathy. Such was the declaration of Mr. Gom. pers at the close of his conference with Mr. Hawley. The labor leader refused to state whether this meant an extension of the strike, but he asserted that, after a full investigation, he was satisfied that the demands of the strikers were Just and that they merited and would receive the support of all unions. Mr. Hawley was Jubiliant over the de cision of Mr. Gompers. He ridiculed published assertions of railroad officials that the strike was. practically ended and said: "They cannot beat us, now that the Federation of Labor is behind us." Coal Supply Short. According to Mr. Hawley a shortage in the coal supply in the Northwest te im minent on account of the strike. He said such a shortage already was apparent in Minneapolis, where, he said, public schools are suffering from a lack of fuel. "I am sorry." said the switchmen's chief, "that a tieup in business" must re sult, but when we are fighting for our rights we cannot afford to consider these things." SYMPATHY STRIKE XOT YET Financial. Aid Chief Advantage of Gompers Indorsement. ST. PAUL, Dec. 10. It is thought at local strike headquarters that a sympa thetic strike of allied railroad orders of the American Federation of Labor will not result from the conference of Presi dent Samuel Gompers- and F. T. Hawley, president of the Switchmen's Union of North America, at Cincinnati today. "My interpretation is that the Ameri can Federation of Labor has offered every assistance expected by Mr. Hawley In behalf of the switchmen." said D. A. Harshberger, third vice-president of the Switchmen's Union, tonight. "We have said." continued Mr. Harsh berger. "that we are not agitating nor anticipating any sympathetic strike. We have, however, expected moral and finan cial support." , The State Railroad Commission has re ceived 30 letters from as many cities and villages regarding their coal supply and other needed conditions, but so far War ren.
