THE SUNDAY OREGOyiAX. PORTLAND, MARCH 8. 1914V BLINDING BLIZZARD DRIVES. HOMELESS TO CHURCH FOR SHELTER VISITED BY SPOOKS Reporters "Covering" Meeting of Spiritualists Get Mes sages of "Sympathy." "Schloss Baltimore Clothes A Condensed Way of Saying "All That's Best in Mens and Young Men's Clothes" PENCIL WIELDERS DEFIED 2 NEWSPAPER Mediums "Vibrate" "With Words of Late Folk Xow in. Great Beyond, Despite Presence of Writers and Spirits Cut Capers. NEW YORK, March 2. It was news taper men's "old home week" at the mass meeting of the New York taJ3 Association of Spiritualists. Xot only did all the speakers and producers of messages from the world away up be yond bring expressions of sympathy to the profession, but two of them de clared their intention of going ahead and "vibrating" in public, no matter how xn&ny reporters might be in the room. There were four. What arouses the loyal reported is this: They didn't stop with the report ers, but opened their batteries on copy editors, also, and George Ehrhardt, of Buffalo, confided in the ear of a re porter that he had been a real friend to a copy editor in Fort Wayne, Ind., and. moreover, on the preceding day, had done the same work in message bringing as was being done while he whispered, and was, consequently, en titled to honorable mention by all newspapers which employ copy editors. One doesn't like to hear these things said about copy editors. "The newspapers said that morning that we vibrate," said Mrs. Maida Brown Kates as she arose to deliver a batch of postal telegrams from various stations in the spirit world, and ad dressed to certain persons who were present. "What do we care what they say? My husband was a newspaper man once, and I have learned that the only thing we can do is to get used to what they say. Consequently, I am going to vibrate." Then she began to deliver messages. None of the messages were addressed by name, but there was an .elaborate description or eacn sender, ana ai though there were more than 1000 per sons in the room, she found someone who recognized the signature of each. In or near the front row. Those in the front row who were skipped looked as disappointed as a strange boy at a Christmas tree, and waited around as though they wanted their money (ad mission was 25 cents) back. There was a genuine thrill after the spirit of a peculiar, foreign built gold necklace had appeared to Mrs. Kates, and had appealed to an old acquant ance by the unusual formation of its ghostiy links, each of which was built to represent a miniature Bide, when a pure white military spirit on a bay horse (spirit) walked up the aisle, throwing aside the spectators who sat too close, and appeared before Mrs. Kates. Mrs. Kates saw him plainly and de scribed him so vividly that there was a gasp of appreciation from several hun dred throats. She didn't know just who he was looking tor, but her description of a man of falcon glance and lion bearing, with ah eye like Mars to threaten and command, was so true to so many fond recollections that 18 women claimed him at once. They couldn't all have him, so Mrs. Kates selected a middle-aged woman In the front row. who looked as though she had been expecting the military hero all the evening, and delivered the message to her. "The lesson which you must learn," said the spirit Mrs. Kates' loquitor "is obedience. Your failure to realize this- in the past has cost you much trouble and suffering:. Do you under stand clearly?" The recipient said she did and was humbly grateful for the tip, and with out casting a shoe or saying neigh to the medium the horse and rider turned and disappeared. Just how the exit was made is a mystery, for although Mrs. Kates distinctly saw the horse walk up the aisle she did not say which route he took in walking back, and all the windows were closed. Considerable commotion was caused by the intrusion of the spirit of a young man carrying a baby. Nobody would claim him, until Mrs. Kates discovered that the mother of the baby was also over on the Jersey side, and had Just appeared beside the other two. Then half a dozen applications were filed. "He says that all will be well," trans lated Mrs. Kates. "Things may be dark just now, but all will come right in the end. Is the message clear?" "It Is," sighed four women in uni son. All of them sat in the front row. ANOTHER BRITON MENACED (Continued From First Page.) and other equipment valued at $12,000 for soldiers. It was not known here to what ex tent such munitions had been exported Into Sonora through' Douglas and Nogales, Ariz., but it was believed the constitutionalists had used Naco prin cipally because of its railroad connec tions. CARRAXZA TO FACE FACTS Promise Made That Benton Inquiry Will Xot W hitewash Villa. EL PASO. Tex., March 7. When Consul Letcher left here today to re turn to his post at Chihuahua, it Is understood that he carried instructions from Secretary Bryan with reference to the case of Luis Terrazas, Jr., who is being held for ransom by General Villa. It is said that General Villa and Gen eral Carranza both will be informed that the State Iepartment could not but construe the threatened execution of Terrazas as indicative of great weakness in the rebel government of Northern Mexico. This information came from a rebel official today. The official added that the Carranza commission appointed to investigate the killing of William S. Benton was prepared to face any facts which might be unearthed derogatory to the actions of General "Villa or his subordinates. "It will not be a whitewash," he added, "and I ask you to observe par ticularly that the assurances given to Washington on this point have carried conviction with them."

Later the two miners testified that at the time the train was flagged they were attending the In dianapolis convention of the United Mineworkers of America. In the corridor outside, JohnR.

NEW YORK CITY, March 7. (Specl al.) The great storm which spent its f ury in the vicinity of this city, leaving a loss of life and millions of damage in its wake, was the worst snow storm ex perienced, not only since the "blizzard of '88," but even before that. Communication with the outside world was shu t off, and the. little Island of Manhattan was almost entirely isolated from the outside world. The top photo shows som e of the damage done to telephone and telegraph property, due to the gales which swept through the suburbs. It pictures some of the wires and poles blown down on coal cars belonging to the Central Railroad of New Jersey at Bound B rook, N. J., which is between New York and Philadelphia. The lower photo shows one of the pathetic sides of the big storm. One hun dred and twenty-five homeless men and boys sought shelter at ancient St. Mark's Church here, at Second avenue and T enth street, where, years ago, Peter Stuyvesant, first Governor of New Ams terdam, worshipped when he lived on the Bowery. The doors of the church were thrown wide open to the homeless, and in the warmth of the big Sunday- school room the hungry and cold were fed and permitted to sleep on the floor. RESULTS TO LABOR British Mine Operator Points Out Effects of Strike in Tonypandy District. 10-YEAR SETBACK ALLEGED Syndicalism In South Wales Object of Severe Attack and Charged. With Causing Great Losses or Money to Workers. LONDON, March 6. (Special.) The alleged ruinous results of Syndicalism were told by D. A. Thomas, managing director of the Cambrian Colliery Com bine, in a recent speech at Tonypandy the scene of former strike riots. He said that Tonypandy was one of the most active centers of Syndicalism, and the local leaders of the movement were suspicious, shallow-minded body of men. As he had been severely attacked by them, he said, he would like to contrast the material results of his action as a capitalist with theirB since 1907, when the Cambrian Combine acquired the Glamorgan Colliery. The population of the district had in creased 22 per cent and the number of men employed in the Combine colleries had increased from 10,600 to 12,700. The amount of wages paid had in creased 25 per cent, although the out put of the collieries had only increased 1 per cent. Moreover, the average weekly earnings of every man and boy employed above and below ground had increased from 9.41 in 1907 to J10.5O last year. Syndicalism, on the other hand, had engineered a strike at the Cambrian Combine Colleries. which had lasted 12 months and cost the men Jo.000,000 in wages, and which had entirely de pleted the funds of the South Wales Miners' Federation, and had crippled the financial position of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain. The re- suit was that the men had to return to work on the terms offered to them when they ceased working. During the national strike wnlcn fol lowed the Cambrian Combine, men lost $723,000 in wages, and he estimated that it would take them another 10 years to recoup their loss by the increase they had obtained under the minimum wage act. He claimed as an economic proposition that he, Individually and the same might be said of any large colliery owner had done more to im prove the material conditions of, and to provide means of subsistence for, the wives and families of the workmen in South Wales than all the miners' leaders together had done or were likely to do. GRACE RICHARDS, OF PORTLAND, ASKS GOVERNOR'S AID. In Letter to Chief Executive, She Says Her Eyes Are Blue and That She Wants Man ef High Ideals. SALEM. Or., March 7. (Special.) Grace Richards, who gives her address as "general delivery, Portland," ap plied to Governor West" today to find her a husband. The Governor has been appealed to by several mateless women to act in a simllar.capacity, and only a few days ago was excoriated by Miss C. Davis, of Camden, N. J., for giving a letter of hers asking him to put her in com munication with a "nice Western man" to the newspapers for publication, de claring that her friends would joke her about it. Miss Richards' letter Is as follows: "Someone told me you were interest ed in young people, that you would be glad to help them to find a suitable life companion. I am a seamstress by trade and have very little opportunity to become acquainted with the oppo site sex. I am 34 years old, have brown hair and blue eyes and fair complex ion. I would like to become acquainted with a man of good moral character who has high ideals and can appreciate the same characteristics in a woman. I rather prefer a farmer, but do not ob ject to city life." PEACE TREATY DISCUSSED British Ambassador Considers Possi bilities With Mr. Bryan. WASHINGTON, March 7. Secretary Bryan and Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, Brit ish Ambassador, discussed today de tails of peace treaty similar to those which Mr. Bryan already has signed with 13 countries and to which Great Britain has assented in principle. The Secretary announced that he ex pected soon to sign similar treaties with Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, while Brazil also had begun discussion of details. The treaties provide for the submis sion of an international commission of all questions which cannot be settled by ordinary diplomacy methods. Thirty-three countries up to date have accepted the treaties in principle. None of those elgned has yet been ap proved by the Senate. ROMANS DECIDE ON STRIKE Protest Against Hospital Keforms Keally Test of Strength.. ROME, March 7. All classes of workmen have decided to take part in a general strike to be inaugurated here next Monday. It will be the first move ment of the kind ever started in Rome. The avowed object of the strike is a protest against reforms introduced in the Rome hospitals, but in reality it is born of a desire to test the strength of the workmen's organiza tions. An entire cessation of work is promised and no food will be sold. Even . the newspapers will suspend publication. Notices were published today warning families to provide food before the strike Is put into effect. While the authorities cannot prevent the workmen going- out they are taking extensive measures to prevent disorders. OIL LAND JN LITIGATION Government Begins New Snit to Re cover Kern County Claims. LOS ANGELES, March 7. Another suit by which the Government seeks to regain possession of valuable oil land in Kern County was filed in the United States Court today. It involved 160 acres, valued as high as $10,000, 000 by Government officials, who de clared 3,000,000 barrels of oil already have been taken from it. The Government contends that the land was withdrawn from all forms of public entry and settlement Sep tember 13. 1910, and asks that the de fendants be perpetually enjoined from asserting title to it and that they ren der an accounting.

A let ter sent to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the United States, asking her to request her husband to intervene for the life of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield, who is at the state prison under sentence of death, has been re ceived at the Governor's office in the Capitol. That Mrs. Wilson brought it to the attention of the President and that he took at least semi-official cog nizance of it is shown by the fact that he turned the matter over to the Na tional Department of Justice. The letter was written by Mrs. Wil liam T. Hall, of Melvern, Pa, to Mrs. Wilson. It was sent to the executive department of this state by the Depart ment of Justice in Washington. It said: "Ask your husband to use his influ ence with Governor Baldwin to pardon or commute the sentence of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield to life imprisonment. I think for the sake of those little inno cent children something should be done. I hope you will not think me bold in writing to you, but as you are a woman I thought you would know best what to do." BRIDGE WORK OPEN SOON Chehalis River Span Contract Held by Portland Firm.
