STORM HAS NOT SPENT ITS FORCE
Passengers Without Food As Cars Are
Stalled In Huge Snow Drifts
All Lines Af
fected CHICAGO, March 15 The ground
hog was scheduled to end his six
weeks' voluntary retirement and come
forth at 11 o'clock today, thereby giv
ing official notice that gentle spring
had arrived. As far as Chicago and
all its territory is concerned, tne
groundhog would have found it neces
sary to equip himself with a snow
plow before he could get to the sur
face. The blizzard which raged all of yes
terday and last night was the worst
of the season. When the sun pene
trated the dense clouds at about noon
today the snow ceased and the wind
'died down, but the temperature re
mained cold enough to prevent the
snow from melting.
Because of the lateness of the sea
son, the storm caught the country
unprepared. All of the Northwest, the
Middle West and Central States were
enveloped, and the storm is still ham
mering away over portions of the Ohio
Valley, and will swoop down on the
East before its mission is ended.
Mournful talea of abandoned and de
layed trains came from every direc
tion today. No road steam or electric
escaped. In Illinois two trains are
"hopelessly stalled, and in one instance
passengers are without food, and ef
forts to reach them with food have
been unavailing. Many trains are
"held in the great snowdrifts in Kansas
Nebraska the Dakotas and Montana,
while all schedules in Colorado have
been abandoned and trains now must
do the best they can. Trains are be
ing held at all division headquarters
in the West and will not be sent for
ward until tracks are cleared.
South Bend, Ind., reports its 75th
day of consecutive snowstorms, con
cluding today with a blizzard that
drove everything to shelter. All
through Northern Illinois and North
ern Indiana interurban traffic was sus
pended today. " v
While the North and West were
cringing under the belated blizzard,
the Southwest : was being seriously
-whipped by tornadoes, and rain driv
en by pitiless gales.
Five persons also perished in a tor
nado in Alabama, and Government re
ports tonight announce heavy winds
lashing the whole Lower Atlantic
Coast. One peculiarity of the pres
ent unscheduled storm is that it came
from the southwest.
Temperatures have been dropping
in the Northwest for several days, but
winds were not high and there was
nothing to indicate a storm from that
direction. The Great Lakes region
cannot hope for much moderation in
the weather until the lakes become
clear of ice.
ANARCHIST TRIES TO
KING
KILL ITALY'S
ROME, . March 15. Vain attempt
was made Thursday to assassinate
King Victor Emmanuel.
Sator Dalba, a youthful anarchist,
who says he belongs to no band, fired
three shots at the monarch, but the
King was not injured, nor was Queen
Helene, who was driving with him in
a closed carriage to attend a service
commemorative of the birth of his
father, the late King Humbert, who
died in 1900 at the hands of an as
sassin. An officer of the King's guard, Maj
or Lang, was wounded in the head
and fell from his horse. A second
bullet went wild and a third struck
one of the royal horses.
King Victor Emmanuel remained
calm throughout, as did Queen Hel
ene. They continued to the tomb,
where the cermonies were held. He
returned to the Quirinal over the same
route.
Meanwhile an infuriated populace
fell upon Dalba and beat him almost
into insensibility. He was rescued
by the police and admitted his intent
to murder the monarch as a "protest
against government."

Hats off to Miss McCord! When the
votes were counted Friday afternoon,
which marked the close of the sec
ond of the special contests, a grand
total of 50,400 was chalked up to her
credit. She deposited more than 16,
000 votes the last minute and those
coupled with the big bunch polled last
Saturday, turned the trick. It might
be called two "tricks," for with one
grand deluge of votes she cinched the
$15 merchandise certificate and re
gained the leadership of the race for
the big Ford.
Today this popular young woman
who lives on the Pacific Highway to
ward New Era will be receiving the
congratulations of her friends, but
what will probably be more accept
able will be the purchasing of $15
worth of merchandise at the J. Lev
itt store, at the expense of the Enter
prise. Miss McCord has earned the
prize by her conscientious work and
stick-to-itiveness which have been ev
ident ever since the inauguration of
the Enterprise contest, and the con
test managers, too, desire to compli
ment her on the excellent showing
she has made thus far.
Joseph Sheahan advanced his stand
ing by three thousand and Kent Wil
son deposited more than 2,000 votes
but they simply could not equal the
remarkable record of Miss .McCord.
John Brown, another "live wire," in
the race did not attempt to force the
prize his way the last minute as some
expected, which may be taken as an
indication that he will be an important
factor in the next special contest.
Both Sheahan and Wilson are now
getting right down to "bras3 tacks'
and sensational developments are
bound to occur soon. Miss McCord's
lead of 13,000 will "not last long ac
cording to these entrants. Both of
these high school students are "track
men" and know how to run an endur-

TRAMP DOG GOES TO
PRISON WITH MASTER
A pathetic plea of Henry Irving, a
tramp arrested by Policeman French
Friday night that his dog be allowed
to go to jail with him won the sym
pathies of the policeman, and dog and
master were locked in the city bas
tile. Irving said that the dog had ac
companied him in his peregrinations
all over the United States, and was
his only friend. French at first was
disposed to leave the dog on the out
side, but Irving said it might be pois
oned or stolen, and if anything hap
pened to his pet he would end his own
life.
"That dog is more to me than a
brother is to the ordinary man," said
the tramp. "He has shared my trials
and troubles and would give up his
life to save "mine. You don't know
Mr. Officer, what a friend he has been
to me, and I could not bear the idea
of being in a nice warm jail and Billy
out in the cold."
There was at least a dozen other
tramps in the jail when Irving and his
pet were admitted, and the dog soon
made friends with his companions in
the big cell.
OF "YOUNGER SET"
Miss Irene Hanny was the hostess
of the "Younger Set" at Five Hund
red Friday evening. The Hanny home
was beautifully decorated with daffo
dils and, Oregon graipe and delicious
refreshments were served. Miss Al
ice Moore won fiirst prize. The club
is a new one, and it was decided to
have entertainments twice a month.
Miss Edna Holman will be the hostess
on the evening of March 29. Miss

RICHMOND, Va., March 15. "Rath
er than indicate a fear of lawbreakers
by sitting on the bench with a weap
on in my pocket, I prefer to be called
in the administration of justice," was
the statement made by Justice Mas
sie, Wednesday night to a friend who
urged him to take steps for his own
protection against the lawless ele
ment he had attempted to bring to
justice. Commonwealth Attorney Fos
ter, said just before he walked into
the court room, it probably would be
his last day on earth.
Floyd Allen and his son Victor, were
arrested today by Detective T. L.
Felts, who arrived with 20 men and
and assumed command of Hillsville
officers of law.
As Floyd Allen, wounded yesterday,
and left behind by his brother, was
being locked up, he attempted sui
cide by cutting his throat with a pock
etknife, but was disarmed.
A man named Strickland, said to
have been implicated in yesterday's
shooting also was arrested and placed
in jail. A strong force all well armed,
guards the jail, with orders to shoot
to kill at the first indication of trou
ble. Victor Allen and Strickland were
found hiding in a house in Hillsville.
Floyd Allen has been under guard at
a hotel. All were captured without
serious resistance, although it was
said they at first indicated an impulse
to shoot their way to liberty.
Fifty men are . pressing into the
mountains trying to locate the gang,
are said to have received reinforce
ments. Betty Ayres, one of the few women
who were in the court room yester
day at Hillsville, and who was wound
ed, is reported to be dead at her
home.
It was reported here early that the
Allen brothers and their followers had
crossed the North Carolina line to
Mount Airy, where they were said to
have raided a hardware store and ob
tained a new supply of arms and am
munition. There was little thought
that the outlaws would be taken alive
and it may be days before a well
directed force gets near them.
The assassinations yesterday wiped
out all the law officers of the county
seat and left matters in confusion.
Outside help did not reach Hillsville
until early today, the mountain roads
leading from the nearest railway sta
tion, 10 miles away, being well nigh
impassable because of the spring
rains.
State's Attorney General William3
and Corporation Judge W. R. Staples,
of Roanoke, ordered here by Governor
Mann, are expected to arrive during
the day. They will endeavor to re
store order. .
The citizens of the" county, lacking
a leader, were able to do little toward
organizing -a systematic hunt for the
men.
' The Aliens long have been known as
desperate, and it was realized that
only through well-organized and well
directed efforts could .they be con
fronted succesfully in the" mountain
fastnesses.

TEN DRUM MAJORS
APPLY FOR PLACE
Since the publication in the Morn
ing Enterprise that the Oregon City
Military band was in need of a drum
major, Director Johnston has received
ten applications. One man wrote that
he did not have a bear skin, but his
hair and beard were long, and he
thought he could arrange them so as
to make a good imitation of a big fur
tile. This, however, did not meet with
the approval of the director and he ig
nored the application. A Portland
man wrote as follows:
"When in the army I held the pos
ition of drum major for fourteen days,
although that was twelve years ago,
I am satisfied I could perform the
stunt again. I am six and one half in
height, weigh 203 pounds and am thirty-seven
years of age. At the pres
ent time I am looking "Tor a location
to go into the cleaning and pressing
business. If you wish to hear from
me further let me know at your earli
est convenience."

'-." tries
Exploitation of the "made in Ore
gon" idea interested many of the busi
ness and professional men of this city
Friday evening at the Commercial
Club parlors. Inclement weather re
sulted in the absence of some of the
speakers from Portland but those who
were there became deeply interested
and enthused over the campaign re
cently initiated to promote the sale
of Oregon made products.
In introducing Colonel E. 'Hofer, of
Salem, . President B. T. McBain, of
i the Commercial Club, took occasion
i to commend the work and Colonel
( Hofer, who is devoting practically all
of his time to educational work, talked
entertainingly and straight to the point
He urged his hearers to induce their
families to demand Oregon manufact-
' ured articles, in food stuffs, wearing
apparel in fact to ask for home prof
ductions at any and all times.
C. H. Hoeg, manager of the factory
of Fleischner, Mayer & Co., manu-
i facturers of clothing and dress goods,
said there are about 1000 factories of
various kinds in Oregon, with an an
nual production of $85,000,000 and a
pay roll of $10,000,000. He pointed
out that only five per cent of the mer
chandise sold in this state is manu
factured here and drove his story
home with illustration of how it would
be possible to increase the payroll
to $100,000,000 by increasing' the sales
of Oregon made products to fifty per
cent.
"How are you going to have fact
ories here if you do not buy goods
made here?" demanded Mr. Hoeg.
"The idea must be to reach the con
sumer and you have got to create a
demand." "
O. E. Freytag superintendent of the
pavilion of the Oregon State Fair,
said he hoped to have an exhibition
of "made in Oregon" products as a
great feature of his department for
1912. He said the Multnomah Coun
ty Court had made an appropriation
for a county exhibit and he hoped to
see it comprised largely of -the Ore
gon manufactures.
Every member of the Comercial
Club and others present joined the
' Consumers League.
Friday afternoon was spent in or
ganizing the Consumers League. Rep
resentatives of the Manufacturers' As-
' sociation visited the three large pub
lis schools in Oregon City and deliv
ered addresses on the "made in Ore
gon" movement. One thousand of the
"Oregon firsfl" buttons were distribut-
f ed among the students in the higher
grades and 500 "made in Oregon" Con
sumers League cards were sent into
as many homes for signatures and ad
dresses to be supplied grlth literature
about the Oregon Industries. City
Superintendent Tooze and all the
principals and teachers pledged their
hearty support and cooperation with
i the movement.
MILWAUKIE TO VOTE
ON SITE FOR SCHOOL
A special election has been called
by the directors of the Muwaukie
school district for Monday, March 25,
to enable the taxpayers to voice their
desires relative to the location of the
proposed high school building to be
erected in that district. Two quest
ions will be submitted : Shall the di
' rectors select and buy a site of about
one and one half acres separate from
the present school house grounds on
Main and Harrison streets and erect
, the high schoolhouse thereon, or shall
j the directors erect the building on
the present school grounds as an
addition to the present building? It
is expected that the new building will
contain four rooms and cost not less
than $10,000. A considerable number
of taxpayers think that the hign
school should be separate from the
j grammar school and erected on an
I independent site, but others contend
it should be built on the present
school ground, and. the matter will be
settled at the special election.. There
is no opposition to the high school,
and the directors have authority to
: proceed with its erection as soon as
the site question is settled.
TAX COL!
BREAK ALL RECORDS
More than $170,000 taxes was paid
Friday, the last day of the 3 per cent
discount. A check for $102,000 was
received from the Portland Railway
Light & Power Company, which is the
largest amount paid by any individ
ual or corporation since the collection
of taxes for 1911 was started. Chief
Deputy Sheriff Staats, who has charge
of the collection, said that the pay
ments this year had been more prompt
than usual, despite the fact that the
assessments were higher. No dis
counts will be allowed until May 1,
and after that penalties aU1' be at
tached. Property owners may elect
to pay half, of their taxes before April
1, and the balance before October 1.
FULTON AND IDLEMAN ARE SPEAKERS
Committee Will Be Named To Take
Charge Of Campaign For
Drci riant In Thie
County " -
What is believed will be one of the
largest political demonstrations ever
held in Clackamas County will be the
Taft rally at Shively's Opera House
this afternoon. At least 500 persons
from the rural districts of the county
are expected to attend, and Oregon
City will contribute its quota. The
meeting will be held in the interest
of Mr. Taft's candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for President,
and will, to a large extent, reflect the
sentiment of the voters of the county.
That the opera house will be crowded
Is believed and overflow meetings may
be held. The principle speakers will
be C. W. Fulton ex-United States Sen
ator, and C. M. Idleman, ex-Attorney
General of Oregon. Both are fine
speakers, and they will present clearly
and forcefully the reasons why Mr.
Taft should be the standard bearer
of his party at the coming election.
Even the warmest friends and most
ardent admirers of Colonel Roosevelt
j i . i :,i i -.1.1
be a candidate at this time. After
the addresses a committee will be
named to take charge of the Taft cam
paign in this county. It is expected
that a large crowd will gather at Sev
enth and Main streets, and follow the
Oregon City Military Band to the Op
era House. The band will give sever
al selections before the parade starts,
and will play during intermissions at
the meeting. The parade will start
at 1:30 o'clock and the exercises will
begin about 2 o'clock.
A committee of citizens composed
of the following, will have charge of
the meeting: W. J. Wilson, W. M.
Stone, W. R. Logus, J. T. Apperson,
R. S. McLaughlin, J. W. Moffatt, J.

C. G. Huntley, W. A. Huntley, William

and J. F. Albright.
These men will take an active Inter
est in the campaign for Mr. Taft, and
they say the county - will go over
whelmingly for-the President.
