Socialist Committee Announces That
It Will Proclaim Strike Today
Children Among
Killed
BRUSSELS, Belgium, June 4. The
post election riots in Belgium have
taken on a revolutionary character.
Followoing last night's troubles at
Liege and other places, the Socialist
central committee declared today that
it would proclaim a general strike to
morrow. A mob at Verviers today assailed
gendarmes with missiles. The latter
charged repeatedly and when the riot
ers refused to disperse, opened fire.
Thirty of the mob fell killed or
wounded Several gendarmes, were
injured. Many arrests were made.
A score of persons were wounded at
Ghent in a fight with gendarmes.
Mobs attacked several convents,
breaking the windows of 'the build
ings. The rioters also smashed ail
the windows in the stores on sever
al streets
At Antwerp one battalion of scouts
and a section of artillery of the civil
guard joined the manifestants. They
rebelled against the police authorities
and vented their feelings in demolish
ing windows. The clerical press de
mands the dismissal of these troops.
Several persons, were killed and a
score wounded in the exchange of vol
leys between mounted gendarmes and
rioters at Liege.
In addition to the trouble at Liege
and Verviers, where gendarmes fired
upon a crowd, killing or wounding
more than 50 persons, among; whom
were two children, there was less se-
rious rioting at Burges, Tournal,
Ghent, Louvain, Antwerp and in this
city. -
Several Jesuit colleges and Catholic
institutions were attacked and the
windows smashed. The gendarmes
charged the rioters with drawn
.swords.
The fatal encounter occurred near
the Socialist headquarters known as
"Populaire." Firing revolvers in the
air the protestants advanced through
the streets, sacking stores and cafes
as they went. After they had arrived
at headquarters, several shots were
fired from within upon the mounted
gendarmes,.
L
PLEASES BIG CROWD
One of the most successful musical
events ever given in Oregon City was
the piano recital of the pupils of Os
car Lawrence Woodfin under his di
rection at the Congregational church
Tuesday evening, when the church
parlors were filled with a large and
appreciative audience. The interior
of the church was a bower of beauty
with its decorations of ferns and cut
flowers. The color scheme was pink
and green, these colors being used
throughout the church. Indian bask
ets filled with ferns and Caroline Tes
tout roses were used in many parts
of the church. The platform was
banked with roses and sweet briar,
and the electroliers were shadeiT in
pitik. The flower girl was little Delia
Woodfin. The ushers were Miss Ad
ah Hulbert, Miss Louise Walker and
Miss Florence Grace.
The program which consisted of
compostions of greatest composers,
was highly appreciated, and every
number given by the pupils showed
they had received thorough Instruc
tion. Mr. woodhin s numbers ap
peared last on the program, which

FREE BATHS MAY BE OBTAINED
Patrons Of Cars Will Vote Today On
Proposition To Have More
Stops In Glad
stone Almost every matter of public im
port that the Live Wires, have had un
der consideration for the past month
came up for discussion at the month
ly evening luncheon of the organiza
tion Tuesday night. The attendance
was record breaking. Many of the
members had something to offer for
the good of the Association as well
as for the common weal.
By unanimous vote the Live Wires
went oa record as opposed to the di
vision of Clackamas County for the
purpose of effecting the creation of
the new county of Cascade, with Es
tacada as the county seat. The mat
ter was taken up by B. T .McBain,
chairman of the committe that has
had the matter in hand, upon the in
itiative of R. M. Standish, secretary
of the Estacada campaign committee.
In a letter to Mr. McBain the Esta-.
cada man desired to know the atti
tude of the Live Wires, which is sol
id against the division of the county.
The adherents of county division are
already circulating petitions to get the
matter before the people at the Nov
ember election.
The Live Wires also gave their
hearty and unqualified endorsement
of the city council in its effort for bet
ter civic conditions, and particularly
in the support of the ordinance which
will soon come up for enactment to
compel owners of property to keep
sidewalks free from dirt and other ob
structions. Councifman Tooze report
ed that there are sidewalks-m Oregon
City that have not been used for a year
because of the dirt that covers them.
He also said that a conference be
tween members of the street commit
tee and Captain J. T. Apperspn over
the condition of a portion of Eleventh
streets had had a happy termination.
indicating that the street fronting the
Apperson property wil be placed in a
condition that will be satisfactory.
Kev. C. W .Robinson and William
Sheahan, members of the committee
en public baths, said they hoped to
have a proposition to present in con
crete form at the next meeting of the
Live Wires. They have had some cor
respondence with the officers of the
Russel Sage Foundation Fund in re
ference to an appropriatic:, and are
in touch with the . secretary of this
fund, which is very similar to the Car
negie Library Fund, appropriating
money for the construction of public
baths and establishment of public
playgrounds. It is planned by the
committee to have the matter In
shape to place it before the people of
Oregon City at the special election in
July. The committee proposes to
maintain a free public bath frr child
ren, and to charge a small fee for
adults to defray the cost of mainten
ance. The Russel Sage Foundation
Fund may, it is understood, care for
a portion of the cost of construction
and the city will probably be asked to
pay the remainder.
It was announced that the vote for
or against an additional stop at Glad
stone, at Hereford street will be tak
en Wednesday ' on the cars between
Canemah and Golf Links, and that all
passengers will be entitled to a vote
The company has taken this method
of solving the problem. . The Glad
stone people are asking for a third
stop and other patrons of the line are
objecting on the ground that addition
al stops mean an impairment of the
service.
Mr., McBain reported that the Unit
ed States engineers intended deepen
ing the lower lock next October, when
the stage of water is most favorable,
further improvement and reconstruc
tion of the Willamette Ttiver locks
will probably have to be deferred un
til next year.
J.. E. Hedges and Livy Stipp, com
prising the committee . on laws, dis
cussed the proposed tax amendments
and the status of the University of
Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural
College, outlining the situation clear
ly and concisely.
Attorney William M. Stone was
elected to membership.
Work was commenced Tuesday on
the Clackamas Southern Railway
Company line, beginning at Oregon
City, and an officer of the Compauy
said the work would be pushed all
summer and the force will be increas
ed from time to time so that the road
will be completed and in operation in
to the Molalla valley before fall.
The Company has worked against
great odds by not having the -Hearty
support of hll citizens who will be
benefited materially by the completion
of the line. With the assistance of
Stephen Carver and the people of Ore
gon City, and those who live along the
line the road can be placed in oper
ation into the Molalla valley before
October 1. -
It is the intention to completa the
road from Oregon City, Southerly and
confine all of the wtirk at one end of
the line so as to get it in operation
from Oregon City to Beaver Creek,
as soon as possible, so that the road
can be used in hauling to market logs
lumber, cord-wood and piling, as there
is a great deal of that material in that
section awaiting transportation.

GOMPRS ACCUSED
IN BRIBE CASE
FRANKLIN SAYS DARROW RE
CEIVED MONEY USED FROM
LABOR CHIEF
FUND TRACED TO DEPOSIT YAULT
Defense Declares It Has Won Many
Points In Examination Wit
ness Does Well Under
Cross Fire
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 4. Sam-
uel Gompers, head . of the American
Federation of Labor, sent the money!
direct to Clarence S. Darrow, which
Franklin has testified wasj to be used j
in the bribery of George N. Lockwood j
according to Bert Franklin, under i
cross-examination today in the trial
of Darrow for alleged jury bribery in
connection with the McNamara casA3.
Franklin said Mr. Darrow Had given
him this information.
Franklin testified at the same time
that Darrow had told him he need not
worry about Job Harriman being im
plicated in the case. Harriman, Dar
row told the witness, could account
for his visit to the safe deposit vault
the morning he secured the $4000 by
the fact that he took out $500 to pay
a mortgage, said Franklin.
The conversation in which Gomp
ers' name was mentioned followed a
newspaper account purporting to
show that the $4000 used in the Lock
wood case had been marked money.
"I asked Mr. Darrow," said Frank
lin, "if he had seen in the papers that
the District Attorney had traced the
money from the safe deposit vault in
to the hands of Mr. Darrow and from
there into my hands; also that it was
marked money. I asked Mr, Darrow
if there was any way for the money
to. he traced. He said that the money
was sent direct to him by Samuel
Gompers."
Franklin also testified to " another
conversation with the defendant in
the course of which he said Darrow
had asked him for a description of the
calls and accomodations at the San
Quentin and Folsom prisons.
"I told him the best I could," con
tinued the witness. "I was thinking
seriously about that myself."
Questioned as to conversations, fol
lowing his arrest with Attorney Le-
compte Davis, Franklin claimed the
privilege of declining to answer on the
ground that Davis was his attorney.
He declared that he did not intend to
draw Davis into the case. Chief Coun
sel Rogers, for the defense, claimed
that Franklin waived all privileges
when he took the stand for the prose
cution. Judge Hutton ruled that Franklin
was not privileged to withhold" any
conversations with his attorney. The
prosecution offered further objections
to the questions asked the witness,
which were overruled.
Franklin told of private conversa
tions with Davis concerning Ihe tat
ter's effort? o procure his release up
on payment of a fine. -
"Did you ever tell Mr. Davis that
Mr. Lockwood had solicited a bribe
of you and that you wanted to catch
him?" asked Rogers.
"Yes, 1 Cfiink it was in the- pffice dt
Mr. Gage," was the reply. "I told Mr.
Davis that Lockwood came to my of
fice and solicited a bribe."
Questioned further, Franklin said
he had made this statement to Davis
after the latter had arranged for his
plea of guilty.
Continuing the cross-examination
Rogers drew from the witness, the
statement that Davis had told him to
say thai the money used in bribing
Lockwood had been sent to him from
Chicago. Franklin denied that he had
ever told a group oT newspaper men
at his preliminary examination that
Darrow had nothing t6 do with' the
alleged jury bribery. He also denied
making subsequent statements to
newspaper avowing Darrow's" -inno-cenSft
A number of such statements
were read by Rogersi, and each denied
by Franklin.
Although the defense has professed
itself well pleased with a number of
points brought out by its examina
tion of one of the state's chief wit
nesses, the essential story told on di
rect examination by Frankin has not
been materially changed as a result
of attack by the defense.

LEADER IS SNUBBED
COETJR D'ALENE, Idaho, June 4.
The Idaho state Democratic conven
tion selected today 16 delegates to the
Baltimore convention, each with half
a vote, instructed for Champ Clark,
but Fred T. Dubois, manager ofthe
Clark National campaign, was not
among them.
The Dubois forces maneuvered for
every point, but were defeated at ev
ery turn by the determined anti-Du-bois
majority. The presentation of
Dubois' name with 23 others . for
places on the delegation, let loose a
flood of indorsement and of condem

One of them will certainly in the
$785 Ford touring car and the other
seems reasonably certain of the sec
ond prize $100 in gold. These two
have occupied the two first places
since the great race started. Shea
han led at first, but it was not long
until the systematic, continuous! work
of Miss McCord began to tell and she
forged to the front in the number of
ballots cast, which position she still
holds. How many ballots she and
Sheahan have in reserve no one
knows but themselves. Both, however
said Tuesday afternoon that they
were confident of winning the car.
While admitting that he had a hard
row to hoe to defeat Miss McCord,
Sheahan smiled knowingly when he
asserted that he would be the winner.
"And even if I do lose the car," said
the High School athlete philosophic
ally, "I will have that $100 to pay on
my lot."
The judges will begin counting the
ballots promptly at 7 o'clock this ev

winners will be made as soon as pos

DIMICK PAYS HIM HIGH COMPLIMENT
Newspaper Man Revealed Little Of
Life's History, But Is Believed
To Have Been College
Graduate
Charles M .Abbott, formerly editor
of the Western Stock Journal, pub
lished in this city, died Tuesday at
the Willamette Hotel after an illness
of about one week. Mr. Abbott had
worked as a 'newspaper reporter and
copy editor in San Francisco, Oakland
Boston, New York and other cities in
the East. He came to Oregon City
about six months ago, and worked
several weeks on a special issue of a
newspaper, after which he obtained
the editorship of the stock journal.
Mr. Abbott vouchsafed little informa
tion regarding himself, excepting his
newspaper connections and that his
parents lived in New York itf. He
wasi an experienced newspaper man,
a fluent writer and evidentlya college
bred man.
He complained several weeks ago of
stomach trouble and remained in bed
three days. Afterward he was appar-
ently as well as .ever, and resumed his
newspaper duties. His last illness, .
however, was much more serious
from the start and hisi physician, Dr.
M. C. Strickland, said several days
ago that he probably would not re
cover.
T never knew a finer young news
paper man than Mr. Abbott," said
Grant B. Dimick, Manager of the
Western Stock Journal. "He was a
well informed man, and a versatile
writer. He knew little of the stock
business when we employed him, but
he made, a careful s'tudy of it, and the
las.t articles he wrote were highly
praised by stockmen. While he told
me little of his personal history, I am
confident that he came of a well-to-do
family, and was probably a college
graduate."
A telegram announcing Mr. Abbott s
death was sent to his parents in New
York but no answer has been receiv
ed. Ha told J. E. Hill, who nursed
him, that his father was Hon, John T.
Abbott, and his address was St
George Hotel, New York City.
CARRIER, STALLED,
WONT GIVE UP AUTO
Frank Whiteman, mailcarrier of R.
F. D., No. 2, of Oregon City, is- still
having trouble with his automobile ,
and his horses, "Pet" and "Peggy"
which were to have a long vacation,
are being put into use several days
a week. Mr. Whiteman had decided
to use the automobile the remainder
of the summer in delivering the mail.
The first few days he got along all
right but finally he was caught in the
rain, which made part of the road im
passable. The machine was disabled
and he had to return to Oregon City
on foot. "Feggy," was again put in
to commission on the route until the
necessary repairs were made to the
car. The machine again broke down
Tuesday and Mr. Whiteman' had to
telephone to this city for another ma-.
chine to bring him and the broken
car here. He has at last decided that
it isi the faint of the automobile in
stead of the roads, and is coitemplat-
ing purchasing another machine
