W. ORGANIZER CLAIMS HE IS VICTIM OF PLOT. LAWRENCE. Mass., Feb. 9. De claring that he Is the victim of a "capitalist plot." Joseph J. ..Etter, National organizer of the Industrial Workers of the World and leader of the striking mill workers, will be given a hearing today on a charge of being accessory to the murder of An na Lopezzo, an Italian woman, who was hit by a spent bullet on the night ot Jan. 29. during a fight between police and rioters. Arrested with Etter and facing a hearing today on the same charge Is Arturo M. Glovannltl, editor of a New York Italian Socialist paper and Et- ter's principal lieutenant in the di rection of the strike. Etter and Giovanniti were arrested more than a week ago and their cases were continued until toduy, ball being refused. From his cell Etter sent word to the strikers to at tempt no demonstration in his be half, and to reporters declared he was the victim of a conspiracy to put him out of the way. "Possibly conditions In Russia ate worse than in Lawrence, but I doubt it." declared Etter. "Some foolish, misgu'ded person fired a shot Into the ground nnd the bullet hit a atone and glanced Into the crowd, killing the unfortunate Mrs. Lopezzo I waB not near the scene of the clash, which was started by police, and do not know the man who fired the sho;. It Is simply a trumped up charge to get me out of the way. The fact of the matter, as every sensible man must know. Is that the mill employ ers simply wanted to get me out of the way. A cut of 22 cents a wk may seem a trifle, but the mill work ers were already reduced to starva tion wages, and the decrease was the straw that broke the camel'a back Since th McNamara affair, employ ers all oer the country have become i more ruiniess in uieir irrniinr-iii. ui employees, and any charge la good enough, thev think, on which to have I.

The Roseburg Ministeiiai I'nion gave tbe many patrons of Its Lyceum course another evening of fine enter tainment Thursday, when Ople Read, the noted Kentucky novelist and lec turer, addressed a large and highly appreciative audience at the Palace Theater. Mr. Read placed himself in the character of "Old Lini Jucklin." the best known character in all of his writings, and for an hour and a quarter he held his listeners in the closest attention with a smoothly running stream of homely philosophy, keen witticisms and pathetic realism. To fully appreciate those humorous stories for which Read is justly fam ous one has to hear them from the Hps of the man himself, emphasized by the magnetism of his striking in dividuality. This was Mr. Read's second address in Hoseburg. lie had a larger audience Thursday night than he had before.
