house subcommittee Investigating the
Colorado coal miners' strike begun to
day's session. Tbe witness wus ques
tioned closely concerning purchase of
anna. He said there waa no record
of money spent for guns, but admitted
that he had given money to men who
"came to me and said they needed pro
tection for thnlr homes,"
On cross examination the witness
was ssked If he thought It possible to
conduit strikes without violence.
"I certainty do." he replied. "I have
alwaya advised agulnst violence."
"Hut did you urge tho miners to
disregard the picketing law which la
on the statute hooks of Colorado?"
"I did, but It waa because I had
been brought up to believe that thla
waa a free country. I thought I had
the right as a free man to talk to any
other free man who waa willing to
talk to me. The picketing law denies
thla right. If I cannot have the rights
which those wbo went before me died
to secure, I prefer to poln them In
death."

Imugluelng that her children had the
leprosy. Mrs, DeMouls, wire of a farm'
er In thn Molulla district, cut , her
throat Monday morning about 11:00
o'clock In an attempt to end her life.
Although the cut was from ear to ear
and de-p Into the flesh, It Is probuble
that she will recover.
At the time the attempt waa made,
Dr. Tood. of Molalla, waa In Oregon
City attending a trial In tbe circuit
court. Word waa aent to Molulla for
a doctor but It waa necessary to aend
to the county aeut to aecure him.

ticed the peculiar actions of thn wo
man for the last few daya. It la
thought probable that as soon as Mrs.
lieMoiila recovers from the cut ahe
will be examined for sanity.

D. l.alourette, Theodore Osmund nnd
C. Schuebel were on Tueaday appoint
ed a spcclnl committee to cooperate
with Mr. Templeton, who Is chairman
of the street committee of the coun
cil, to secure the desired results. With
the exception of the north end of the
street, which waa hard aurfaced last
year, the condition of the main busi
ness street of the city is deplorable.
The brick pavement was laid about 20
years ago. It la full of holes and in
such a bud condition generally that
It Is believed the most feasible man
ner of Improvement would be to even
up the base and cover It with some
suitable paving material of a standard
character.
D. T. Meldrum, head of the commit
tee appointed to recommend the beat
route for a highway between Oregon
City and Gladstone, made a detailed re
port. He aald the present rona rrom
Seventeenth and Main street to the
north bank of the Clackamas river Is
approximately 7852 feet long: that the
route pnrrolllng the track of the Port
land Railway, Light A Power Co.
would be 6500 feet and that a third
route, which the committee considered
the best, would run from Green Point
tn the Rlnearson place, on the north
side of the Clackamas, a distance of
4000 feet. The estimated cost of this
road would be 125.000. Including bridge
across the Clackamns which could be
built according to a proposal already
obtained by Charles T. Parker, for
$14,000.
R. K. Klrkwood, grand secretary of
tho Royal Arcanum, made a brief talk
relntlve to the coming session of the

Board of Directors, Under Plan, Will

Attend to Actlv Man
agement A meeting of the coffee club Com
mitten waa held at the commercial
club Friday night at which time plani
were adopted which Included the In
corporation of the Oregon City Coffee
club at an early date.
The object of the club Is to main
tain free reading, rest and game
rooms, a free employment bureau, and
a social center lor too comron ana
convenience of Its patrons. A ItincO
counter Is provided for where coffee,
tea and various art Idea of food win
be served.
The amount of capital stock Is to be
1.1000. divided Into 400 non-assessable
share of 15 each. The buslnesa of the
coffee club will be handled by a board
of directors elected by the stockhold
ers who shall determine their number
and terms of office.
In considering possible plans, the
committee favored the board of direct
ors consisting of five members. These
directors will have the duty of engag
ing a competent manager for the en
terprise who will be directly responsi
ble to them for the active manage
ment and success of the club.
The adoption of these plans Is the
outcome of a number of meetings of
the Joint committee recently named by
the Live Wires and several church
brotherhooda. The problem before
thla committee has been to determine
unon the best means of providing tbe
men of the town with reading, rest and
recreation farllltlee under such con
ditions that all would feel entirely free
to patronize the place without feeling
under obligations to anyone. 8everal
plans were suggested and discussed
and F. A. Olmatead, one of tbe mem
bers appointed by the Live Wires
made a special trip to Investigate the
Eugene Coffee club, which has been tn
successful operation for about a year.
The committee decided that It would
not be practical to attempt the es
tablishment of a readlug room alone,
supported by popular subscriptions,
especially In view of the fact that the
city now already has a public library.
Sub-committees are now working on
the problem of aelecttng a suitable lo
cation and the active campaign of
raining the necessary funda will be en
tered upon during tbe coming week.

NORFOLK. Va., March 7. Rescued
from their drifting lifeboat by merest
chance, the captain and 16 members of
the crew of the American steamer
Charlemagne Tower, Jr., which found
ered off the Jersey coast yesterday
were picked up by the steamer Bay
fort late yesterday and brought to
Newport Newa today.
All were suffering Intensely from
exposure that had made them almost
helpless to navigate their boat. Four
were on the verge of death.
The escape of the Tower's surviv
ors was a narrow one. Off Barnnegat
they made a light that was barely vis
ible through a blinding snow storm
and gathering: darkness. They were
sighted by Captain Bernager, of the
Bayport just as tbe whaleback waa
passing the small boat.
Tbe Bayport put about and discov
ered the half frozen and anowcovered
men huddled In their frail craft They
were numb from cold. To make room
for all in the boat some of the men
were forced to lie In the bottom.

port are: Captain H. C

make headways tn the rough sea,
which poured water Into their little
craft almost as fast as It could be
baled out the men decided to drift
and depend on being picked up. They
huddled together so benumbed and
water soaked that they scarcely cared
near the last what their fate might be.
It waa 5 o'clock and snowing hard
when they saw the lights of the Bay
port and they set off a torch. Had
this not been seen. Captain Simmons
said he and his men could not have

INVADES BAY CITIES
SAN FRANCISCO. March . Just
what to do with two bands of unem
ploytd men, numbering more than 1500
is puzzling the authorities of cities
and counties across the bay. The men
began a proposed march upon Wash
ington, D. C starting from here sev
eral days ago, after having wintered
for the most part In this city.
Oakland police refused to allow the
men to stay in their city, and riots oc
curred, resulted In the men being
transported Into the Richmond city
limits, where they are delayed today,
after spending the night, because the
authorities of all neighboring counties
will not allow the men to enter.
The Jobless men. tamed somewhat
by clashes In which the police were
victorious, announced today they were
willing to go anywhere and would sub
mit peacefully to police orders.
At a conference held at Benicla to
day between authorities of the city of
Benicla and Solano county it was de
cided to make application to the State
Railroad commission for permission to
ask tho Southern Pacific to grant a
special rate for transporting the un
employed to Davis, Yolo county.
