toriunj OREGON CITY OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1917 Number 35 35th Year ONE MILL GLOSES OTHERMWIPROVED McBAIN CHARGES ATTACK WITH EGGS TO STRIKERS. MEN MAKE DENIAL SPECIAL OFFICER JAILED Car Shortage is Reason for Inactivity t Hawley Mills. Workers Resign Jobs' With 500 men reported at work the Crown-Willamette mills here are said to have been restored to practically normal activity for the first time since the strike of paper mill employes was declared on Oc tober 25. And at the same time the Hawley Pulp & Paper Co., an nounces that it may be. impossible to continue the operation of two machines now working, giving the, shortage of cars for shipment as the cause. The indefinite cessation of work was announced on Monday by W. P Hawley, Sr., and he advised all former employes of the company to seek work elsewhere as there was no way of telling when operation could be resumed. However, the machines now in operation, said to have a capacity of about 60 per cent of the mill's total output, will con tinue to operate unless the car shortage becomes acute. Mr. Haw ley adds to this statement that the labor trouble is in no way respons ible for he plans of the company and speaks of the cordial relations that exist between the company and its employes. "The Southern Pacific company has orders from the Hawley com pany for 55 cars which we have not yet received," Mr. Hawley said, "and when work stopped because ot tne strike we had 1000 tons of paper on hand awaiting shipment." At 10 o'clock last .Thursday night, while B. T. McBain, manager of the Crown-Willamette mill, was bring ing a young woman, relative to this side of the river from his home at West Linn, his automobile was at tacked by men said to be strikers, who threw six eggs at Mr. McBain, at least three of which struck the machine and left their spattered marks thereon. Roy Ott, president of the Paper Makers' local union, and Joe Jackson, prominently iden tified with the strike. Were in the group from which the eggs were thrown at Mr. McBain's car, accord ing to the latter's statement. The mill manager had been warned by a member of the union that strikers were going to bombard him with eggs, but he was forced to cross to this side of the river and , weather the storm. In a signed statement made on Saturday, Roy Ott and Mr. Jackson said: "We wish to emphatically deny the statement by, Mill Manager Mc Bain that we were connected in any manner whatever with the throw ing of eggs at McBain's car. Nei ther of us knew that eggs were thrown, and we have used every ef fort in our power to prevent dis orders of any kind. We have en couraged peaceful picketing and will continue to do so, for that is a striker's right. The mill manager of the Crown Paper company must be playing a losing hand when he gives an inference that men, who have lived here for many years and have won the respect of the com munity, are guilty of stooping to such acts. We believe that the cit izens of Oregon City will give such inferences the treatment they de serve." Mr. McBain replied to this state- ment on Monday when he sent to 'The Courier the following: " 'Camouflage' is all I can say re garding the statement of Ott and Jackson. Ott, standing at the 'Keep to the right' sign, tipped his hat in a gentlemanly manner as my machine passed and I answered the salute in a like manner with the addition, .'Good evening, Roy.' Jack son was standing between the right hand fence of the bridge and the corner store. The crowd of 30 or 40 was between them and Dr. Carll's fountain. My statement was, and still is, that they were witnes ses to the outrage, and it is the truth." Union activity continues in and out of the mills. Thursday when the management heard that Walter Swock, a member of the office force. was actively talking the union cause among strikebreakers, Mr. McBain put the matter up to him. it is said, by telling him he could go to work on a paper machine or quit. Swock quit. William Edwards, an expert machine man, resigned of his own accord and not because he was asked to operate a machine, it is stated. Two brothers from Kala mazoo, Mich., quit at the Crown Wiilamette Thursday after working as strike-breakers for a few days, saying that they had accepted work with a full understanding of condi tions, but that they came merely (Continued on Page 8) NEGROES ELUDE AN ARMY OF OFFICIALS POSSE HAD CONVICTS CORNER- ED. PRESENT LOCATION NOT KNOWN A man hunt that threatened for a time to make an excellent . "Dia mond Dick" story has been in pro gress in Clackamas county for more than a week and on Friday night and Saturday was so fast and fur ious that almost every police officer in the county, together with scores of special deputies from the sher iff's office and Salem, were employ ed. Sheriff Wilson and Parole Officer Keller of the state penitentiary, each had a corps of deputies on the trail of three negroes who escaped from the prison wood camp a week ago Tuesday. On Tuesday Warden Charles Murphey of the state pris on joined the chase that -was led by two state, bloodhounds. Track of the men was lost on Tuesday, how ever, and they are still at large with the officers waiting for a fresh scent to put the dogs. on. Tom Majors, Farley Hunt and Jessie Taylor, the negroes, were cornered in a narrow gulch near the Robert Brown farm in the Beav er Creek country on Friday night and their capture was expected. Of ficers had been chasing the men steadily since 3 o'clock Thursday af ternoon when, they were seen by Mrs. Henry Henrici on the High land road, crawling across the road on hands and knees. Deputy Sheriff A. E. Joyner en countered the three men in Oregon City late Thursday night, and fired from his machine. The negroes made off, and the bloodhounds were put on the trail, but lost the scent at the Abernathy creek. , The ani mals picked up he scent in several places in the north end of the city, however, and found it especially strong about the automobile of Ken neth Robinson, of Portland, from which the men are supposed to have taken a revolver and a pair of driv ing gloves. " Within less than, an hour after Sheriff Wilson and a corps of depu ties had given up the watch for the day the convicts appeared near Ba ker's bridge on Sunday night. State guards at the bridge 'saw' 'the men, but were unable to take any effec tive action. The negroes escaped into the woods again. A Score or more of men, including deputies from Salem, were in the vicinity. It is supposed that the men were living upon what they were able to steal from farms in the country. They cannot beg for food, for every person in the county is said to know of the presence of the convicts and in many cases have advised the of ficers of their whereabouts. The last heard of the negroes was that they had occupied the Brock barn tn the Redland country Monday night, and immediately a corps of officers was sent in that direction. Sheriff W. J. Wilson join ed the chase again early Tuesday morning. Monday bloodhounds were said to be close upon the trail of the negroes. Sheriff. Wilson has little to say regarding the hunt, choosing to de vote all his energies to the chase. "We can figure out dozens of ways for catching these men until we get up against the new situa tions they are creating at every turn, and thett capture is not the simple matter it appears to our many advisers," the sheriff said. BOOTLEGGING CASE TO BE APPEALED HIGHER Advancing the contention that the provision of the prohibition law which validates indictments that do not designate the name of the per son who sold the liquor is void un der the federal constitution, Julius Wilbur has filed with the supreme court a notice that he intends to appeal to the United States supreme court from a decision convicting him of bootlegging in . Clackamas county. He has also provided bond to stay an execution of the court's judgment in the case pend ing a decision from the. supreme court of the United States. Wilbur would have been jailed to serve six. months here had he not taken this appeal. He has been arrested twice on bootlegging charg es since the conviction, which he is appealing, was secured here by District Attorney Hedges. Both arrests made by Portland officers resulted in the finding of much li quor. Ex-Senator - Charles Fulton is fighting Wilbur's cases for him. Molalla Men Have Accident Leo Shaver, of Molalla, was pin ned under his automobile and Wil liam Poulson, his brother-jn-law, who was riding with him, was thrown out of the machine when the auto turned over on a bridge hear Silverton. Neither was seriously hurt. ' Rieff Estate Is Probated Mrs. Henry Rieff Monday filed a petition for letters of administra tion in the estate of her late hus band, Henry Rieff. The estate is valued at $5000, comprising real and personal property. REED PRES DENT TO TELL OF NOTED EDUCATOR JUST RE TURNED FROM RED CROSS WORK OVERSEAS DR. FOSTER BRINGS MESSAGE Once Was Pacifist, but Has Changed Since Viewing the Horrors of War Dr. W. T. Foster OOURTESY PORTLAND JOURNAL EBB1BBBEB-SBBB1BHB1B IS 1 B Dr. W. T. Foster of Reed El H college will address a public H B meeting at Busch's hall, Elev- B SI enth and Main streets, at 8 B B o'clock, Thursday evening, No B vember 22, 'under the auspices H B of the Live Wires of the Com B me'rcial club. B B S ' B BBBHBBBBBB EB11BBBBB Dr. William Trufunt Foster, pres ident of Reed .college, author, lec turer and world-traveler, is to bring to Oregon City next Thursday night an intimate story of the trenches. Dr. Foser has recently returned from France, where,' as a represen tative of the American Red Cross society he has had a rare oppor tunity to study war conditions, and to see at first hand the wonderful work of mercy and charity the Red Cross is carrying on",' and to realize the terrors of tho world war. From an unyielding pacifist to an ardent patriot, uncompromising in fealty to the cause of democracy's victory, Dr. Foster has been trans formed by the sight of actual war fare. When he left America he was one of those whose expressed sympathies were seemingly directed to the cause of peace at any price. Today, with a personal knowledge of what is going on in Europe, the horrors of the great carnage fresh in his mind, the only price that can buy peace is VICTORY. The Live Wires of the Commer cial club are sponsors for the meet ine to be addressed by Dr. Foster at Busch's hall next Thursday even ing. The Wires have invited the public to the meeting and have post poned their weekly gathering in honor of Dr. Foster's visit to the city. A banquet will be held at the Commercial club at six o'clock on Thursday evening at which the visitor will be a speaker, and im mediately after this the meeting at Busch's hall will be called. Dr. Foster is an author of note and the fact that he has written text books upon public speaking is but one of many proofs of his abil ity as an orator. Where he has spoken since his return from the trenches he has been heartily re ceived and his story of the war has been heralded in Oregon City as a clear-cut. graphic narrative that is in reality a recitation of the things the doctor has seen abroad. Late last week M. D. Latourette main trunk of the Live Wires, ap pointed the following committee to take charge of Dr. Foster's meet ing and reception by the Wires: F. J. Tooze, E. E. Brodie, C. W. Robey, T. W. Sullivan, O. D. Eby, Dr. L. A. Morris, Mrs. C. W. Evans, Mrs. Linn E. Jones, Miss Cis B. Pratt and Dr. Hugh Mount, chairman of the local Red Cross society. ill COUNCILMAN OBJECT OF RECALL PETITION SAID TO HAVE DECLARED AGAINST STRIKERS AND POLICE CHIEF FRENCH Plans for the circulation of re call petitions against City Council man Henry H. Templeton of the first ward, are said to have been completed by friends of Lee French, chief of police, 'and strike sympa thizers, if not the strikers them selves. It was reported that the first petition would be upon the street today, charging the council man with statements against union men and against the chief of police. A resolution adopted at a mass meeting attended; largely by strik ing union men says: "Inasmuch as .H. M. Tempkjton, councilman in ward one, Oregon City, Or., has made statements de- Togatory to organized labor and has declared the strikers were per mitted to call the strikebreakers foul names, to spit upon them, and strike them, and further stated that he believed every man who worked over at the Crown-Willamette Pa per company plant should be allow ed to carry a gun; "Therefore, be it resolved, by the citizens in mass meeting assembled this 13th day of November, ,1917, that the said H. M. Templeton be recalled and the necessary steps be taken to do so at once." This resolution, said to have been introduced at the meeting by Ed. S. Launer, prominent among the union workers of the city, is based upon statements quoted elsewhere in this issue made by Mr. Templeton at a meeting of the Live Wires, as well as statements attributed to him in connection with labor roubles. FLEMING ARRESTED FOR CARRYING HIDDEN GUN Lee Fleming, charged with carry ing a concealed weapon, was fined $50 and given a suspended sentence of 25 days in jail by Recorder John W. Loder Monday. Fleming is an employe of the Crown-Willamette Pa per company, and was arrested on Sunday afternoon, by Chief of Po lice Lee French after mixing with E group of striners.' 'Fleming was re leased late Sunday without bail and before Recorder Loder Monday en tered a plea of not guilty. City At torney Story and C. Schuebel and W, A. Dimick prosecuted the case for the city and Frank Lonergan, of Portland, was the representative of Fleming. A great crowd of strikers attended the trial. The Fleming affair, however, is not at an end. A warrant for his ar rest was issued Tuesday in Justice of the Peace Siever's office and the in strument was served by Constable Frost. Manager B. T. McBain, by whom Fleming is employed as an ex pert machine operator, posted $50 cash to guarantee Fleming's appear ance in justice court oh Saturday. The fact that Recorder Loder sus pended sentence is responsible for the warrant issued out of the justice court. PASTOR HUNTS MEN Molalla Divine Takes Fire Arm and Goes on Search for Convicts Forsaking his pulpit and his flock temporarily for the thrills of man hunting, the Rev. F. W. Sny der, pastor of the Molalla Metho dist Episcopal church has been one of the most tenacious members of the large posse which pursued - the three escaped negro convicts dur ing the past few days. Mr. Snyder buckled on a heavy gun . and joined the chase last Wed nesday. He is credited with sev eral important findings in connec tion with the chase and it was he who hopped over a fence near the Holcomb school house late in the week and discovered a fresh print made by the heavy shoe of one of the convicts. ' The pastor resumed his frock coat long enough on Sunday to preach righteousness to his congre gation and at once took up firearms and rough clothes to continue the man hunt TWO MEN PLEAD Rotter to be Tried. Brown Sentence and Paroled Given Paul Rotter, indicted by the re cent grand jury on a felony charge, appeared before Judge J. U. Camp bell Monday to plead not guilty to the charge. The young man's hear ing had been postponed. His trial will be held on December 14. Theo dore F. Brown, of Parkplace, also under indictment, yesterday asked permission to change his plea from not guilty . to guilty. He was to have been tried before Judge Camp bell Monday. Brown was former ly janitor of the Parkplace school, and startled that community by the actions which brought him before the court Having changed his plea, Brown was sentenced to one year in the county jail and the costs of the action were assessed. He was paroled immediately, however, con ditional upon his good behavior. Speaking of newsy newspapers read The Courier. TEMPLETON POTS TO T COUNCILMAN REVIEWS CITY'S CONDITION AT LIVE WIRE'S REGULAR MEETING DERIDES CHIEF OF POLICE Committee Reports Good Work on Y. M. C. A. Fund. Plans for Dr., Foster's Address "If all the city's police were like its chief we would need six men on at night in place of one." "We paid an attorney $30 a month for keeping the city out of trouble. Just see what we got in to!" ."The city had better retire if it cannot make an arrest for less than $83." ... "I never knew 1 a lawyer who would give his service free for any thing." With such enlightening remarks as these City Councilman Henry M. Templtton on Tuesday injected a lit tle "ginger" into the regular Live Wire meeting and awakened the businessmen to an appreciation of the city's strained financial candi tion and the necessity for rigid econ omy at 'every turn. Councilman Templeton pointed out objections to the present bud get draft and called attention to the error in thinking that the budget as prepared would leave a balance of $300 at the end of the next year. A deficit, he said, is all that could result from doing city business as planned by the' budget. Mr. Templeton talked on behalf of his own separate draft of the bud get and pointed out the saving of $900 he proposed to effect by doing away with one night policeman and increasing the pay of the other. He used strong language in condemning Police Chief Lee French, and pass ed a little criticism to C. Schuebel, former city attorney. Mr. Temple- ton's financial ideas have since been included to a large extent in the bud get approved by taxpayers on Wed nesday evening. "This year $2160 has been spent on the police and 26 arrests have been made," the councilman said. "If the city cannot make a better record than $83 for each arrest it is time it retired as a corporation." The necessity for a revision of the charter will mean the expendi ture of $300, which is not provided for in the budget prepared by the council, Mr. Templeton said. This remark called City Recorder Loder to his feet with tho statement that the need for charter revision was im perative and he put the. blame for its condition upon the state legisla ture which, he said, constantly tam pered with municipal regulations. C. Schuebel, ex-legislator and form er city attorney, charged that Mr. Loder "doesn't know what he is talking about," and said that the legislature had nothing to do with making charter revision necessary. He offered, with the assistance of two able men, to revise the char ter without cost in one evening. At this point Councilman Templeton stopped the argument when he said that he never knew an attorney to give service free. "The city paid $90 a month for an attorney recently to keep it out of trouble, and just see what we got into." Councilman Templeton and Re corder Loder were the only two city officials who accepted the invitation of the Wires to attend the meeting Tuesday. P. J. Houlton, a member of the Y. M. C. A. war fund committee, re ported for Chairman Howland and announced a number of subscrip tions to the county's $4000 quota. General Manager Lewthwaite, of the Crown-Willamette mills, said the city will get its share of any donation made by that company. Other speakers at the meeting were H. G. Starkweather, gubernatorial candidate; Charles Parker and W. P. Hawley, Jr. Additional plans were made at the meeting for the reception of Dr. W. T. Foster of Reed college, who is to speak here on next Thursday evening of his work with the Red Cross in Europe. The Wires will banquet Dr. Foster at 6 o'clock and later he will address a public meet ing at Busch s hall. M. J. Lee Is Sued Fred H. Wheeler on Saturday brought suit against M. J. Lee, of Canby, former publisher of the Canby News, to collect on a promis sory note for $295.55 due the Pacific Paper company, of Portland. The note was signed at Portland on Jan uary 16, 1917, and bears 6 per cent interest. Strikers Dance Women strike sympathizers were hostesses at a dancing party at Busch's hall Monday evening and strike fund benefitted from the pro ceeds. MrB. A. C. Cox and Mrs. Minnie Hendricks were in charge of the affair, and Mrs. James Haney assisted. Union music from Port land was obtained. POINT TAXPAYERS PASS ON CITY'S 1918 BUDGET COUNCIL APPROPRIATES COST MUNICIPAL PAVING PLANT LEVY IS 7-MILLS Eight taxpayers attended the an nual citizens' budget meeting with the city council on Wednesday even-j ing and voted their approval of the expenditure of $59,883.57 for the conduct of city business during 1918. They approved heartily the item setting aside $2000 for the purchase of a municipal paving plant, agreed when the council rais ed the appropriation for court costs from $150 to $300, sided in without a question when Mayor Hackett read appropriation for the purchase of new arc lights, new fire hydrants and new fire hose and walked out of the chamber en masse without the formality of a motion for ad journment. The council s income for the com ing year is $59,883.57, derived from a 7-mill levy on an assessed valua tion of $2,906,371.08, including a probable assessment of $551,376.08 on the levy made against public util ities by the state tax commission. The entire amount has been spent in advance, according to the . budget, with the exception of a surplus of $206.61. The budget as adopted last evening is a revision of the original designed to contain many of the suggestions made by Councilman H. M. Templeton, who was not present at the meeting last night. The paving plant proposed by the budget will cost $2000. It is to con sist chiefly of a new roller and melt ing vats for an asphalt mixture with which it is purposed to bind maca dam roads. This is the chief new item of expense in the budget as adopted by eight taxpayers. In creases were voted last night in the arc light appropriation, making that fund total $4,690, and providing thereby five new lights for the city; painting elevator and approaches, $400; court costs, increased from $150 to $300, because of the fact that an unpaid bill for $177 and probable new expenses are before the council; pay for extra man on city elevator raised from $160 to $300; $140 to buy new fire hydrants and $550 to buy fire , hose. Items decreased were those : covering the paving plant, the cost of which was cut from $3000 to $2000; printing, cut from $771 to $640 and incident als in the appropriation for the fire and water departments, cut from $250 to $225. Councilman Templeton's sugges tion to provide for painting the ele vator, increase court costs and pro vide for the revision of the" city charter are included in the new bud get. The citizens, however did not attempt to save $900 a year by do ing away with one night policeman, which Mr. Templeton suggested. ' The council contemplates a short age in finances for next year be cause of the fact that many proper ty holders have failed to pay Inter est on their street assessments for several years. Some official action will be taken soon to make collec tion of such sums immediately pos sible. .. The budget as approved manages to expend $59,883.57 through appro priations: bond retiring, $25,944.59; health and police, $4,240; recorder, $1420; engineering, $1000; fire and water, $1893; city attorney, $1000: incandescent lights, $298; arc lights, $4(!)0; election, $150; court costs, $300; donations, $150; taxes and miscellaneous, $300; printing, $640; elevator, $2646.98; streets, $13,241. 21; treasurer, $400; library, $1453. 18; surplus, $206.61. The council will meet on Monday evening to pass on first reading an ordinance levying a 7-mill assess ment against property in the city. An attempt was made to increase the levy a fraction of a mill for the support of the library, but stren uous objection on the part of coun cilmen defeated the 'plan. MAYOR AND CHIEF HELD TO HAVE BEEN WITHIN RIGHTS A non-suit for the city's interest in the case and verdict for Mayor Hackett and L. E. Blanchard, form er chief of police, was the outcome of the suit for $2500 filed by Arnet Christiansen against Mayor Hackett and Chief Blanchard charging false arrest and imprisonment. Chris tiansen was one of a crew of South ern Pacific workmen arrested here last spring when they were at work on the Fourteenth street trestle and the crew was erecting a wooden structure. Chief Blanchard stopped the work upon the order of Mayor Hackett by arresting the entire crew. The jury which heard the case before Judge Campbell on Sat urday promptly non-suited the ac tion as far as the city was concern ed and within three minutes after evidence was in had returned a ver dict for Mayor Hackett and the po lice officer. Want Deed Corrected For the purpose of forcing a cor rection ' in a deed to property pur chased by William P. and Emily Herman, from C. S. and Ida Her man, the former Friday filed suit in Judge J. U. Campbell's court. The property involved comprises several tracts and is valued at $8500. ST. MICHAEL, THE FIRST VILLAGE WEALTHY SQUAW OWNS HERD OF 1200 REINDEER. BARGE AND RAILS SINK A MONUMENT TO THE PAST Historic Interest Centers About the Days Before the Coming of the White Man (M. J. Brown) "My God! Eight hours more!" I read this exclamation of de spair, written on the clapboard of . the baggage room as tho tug brought us ashore at St. Michael, and I had misgivings. I speculated on what our incarceration would be like. We went up from the landing to the hotel. There were . about 50 passengers, 40 of whom were going out The big hotel had burned to the ground a week before and a big bunk house, formerly used for the ,. large force of longshoremen was transformed into a hotel. We lined up and registered. The rates were $4 per day and two or more must be put into every ' room. There was not a restaurant, lunch counter or any other accom modations in the town. It wasn't a case of "take it or leave it," it was plain "take it." Evidently the kitchen squad had seen us coming and was fortifying. , They were cooking cabbage, but the tourists did not know this. They registered, then hurried outside, holding their noses. And then a Big Idea inspired me. About 40 of the tourists wanted to wait for the Victoria and make the inside passage going out from Nome touching at Seward, Cordo va and other coast towns, . while about ton wanted to get to Seattle as one fellow expressed it, "as quick as God will let me." The other 10 would stop at Nome. I went to the agent and asked him how, many passengers it would be necessary for the outside passage (direct to Seattle) to have the Uma tilla return from Nome, as I had learned it would only delay her pas sage four or five hours. He said if there were enough who would make the outside trip no doubt the boat would return, but he said statements did not go, he must have the tickets deposited with him. , . And then I got busier than an in surance man. I hunted up the pas sengers, scattered all over the town, and presented my scheme. We would have to serve at least eight days before the Victoria ' would ar rive, while if they would go on the outside passage the boat would re turn for us. (Continued on page 8) ROY JOHNSTON CHARGED WITH FAULT IN COLLISION. ' Roy Johnston, of Clackamas, ap peared before Recorder Loder Mon day and explained his reasons for fast driving, which resulted in a collision with a wagon in which were Thomas Sears and Mrs. D. G. War ner and a 1-year-old baby. The col lision occurred on South Main street late Saturday night. Johnston, with a party of young men, is said to have been traveling at a rapid speed and to have collided with the wagon, which was stopped at the side of the street. Mrs. Warner's husband was shopping in a store nearby and Mrs. Sears had just a moment before boarded a car for Gladstone. The horses attempted to run after the jolt hod knocked the occupants of the wagon to the street and before their prancing could be stopped one of the animals kicked Sears several times. Mrs. Warner and her baby were pain fully bruised. Johnston was the only member of the automobile party who could be found after the smash.
