ORTIE E. McMANIGAL TESTIFIES
IN DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY
TRIAL
TVEITMOE AND CLANCY ARE NAKED
Confession Given While Hiding Mc
Namara in Woods in Wiscon
Says McManigal on
Witness Stand
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13. For the
first time since the 21 persons were
killed in the blowing up of the Los
Angeles Times building on October 1,
1910, Xames B. McNamara's detailed
'confession to having caused the explo
sion, with his motive for doing it and
his comments on the fact that so many
persons were killed, was related on
the witness stand in the "dynamite
conspiracy" trial today.
Ortie E. McManigal testified that the
confession was given to him while he
was hiding" McNamara in the woods,
five miles from Coubver, Wis., both of
them having gone to the Wisconsin
woods on the pretext of being hun
ters. Olaf A. Tveitmoe and Eugene A.
Clancy, of San Francisco, labor lead
ers, McManigal testified, were named
by McNamara as having made ar
rangements for the Los Angeles ex
plosion and as having furnished the
two men F. A. Schmidt and David
Caplan to assist in buying the high
power nitro-gelatine because Schmidt
and Caplan had been regularly em
ployed on the coast by the Building
Trades Council of California.
Tveitmoe and Clancy are among
the 45 defendants. Caplan and Schmidt
named by McManigal, were indicted
in Los Angeles County with James
B. McNamara on charges of murder,
but they never have been captured.
Government agents have' been inform
ed that Caplan was killed.
TAT
LEADS TO PROBE
The committee on police and health
of the city council was Instructed
Thursday evening to make an investi
gation of the conduct of the saloon of
Henry Kerbs on Main Street. Police
man Green several nights ago arrest
ed Glenn Hammond and C. Terrell on
a charge that they had taken a wom
an into a room above the saloon, and
that upon their departure it was dis
covered that clothing which" had been
"in a trunk was missing. The young
men were fined $20 each and senten-f
ced to serve 20 days in jail each, but
upon payment of their fines were re
leased at the suggestion of Policeman
' Green and City Attorney Story. The
father of one of the boys asked that
the saloonkeeper be proceeded against
but Mr. Story said there was no evi
dence against him. It was contended
that a barkeeper had taken the trio
to the room and the owner knew noth
ing f the transaction. The investi
gation of the council will be to deter
mine who was at fault.
Joseph Sheahan, the High School
football star, although having no con-
nectipn with the Oregon City police
force, has made four arrests in the past
two weeks. The young man's first arrest
was that of an Indian who had imbib-
ed too freely of intoxicating beverages
and insisted upon sleeping upon the,
front veranda at the Sheahan home.
He next captured a man Chief of Po
lice Shaw was pursuing, who was ac
cused of stealing clothing. The third
man he captured was also a thief. The
athlete's star arrest, however, was
Wednesday morning when he captur
ed a man after a Jong chase and the
liberal use or ms Sherlock Homes
gray matter, who left the store of C,
G. Miller with a pocket flashlight for
which he did not pay. A. L. Robaker,
better known as ''Slim", who is em
ployed in the store gave chase to the
man and Sheahan realizing what the
trouble was ran through an alley and
intercepted the alleged thief. After
being captured the man threatened to
shoot Sheahan but Robeaker insisted
that he try his aim at him.
"I'll turn sideways", said the clerk,
who is slender, "and you'll have a
hard time hitting your mark'.

Marriage License Found on Imposter,
Leads Police to Believe, He Is
Man Who Was Engaged to
Grace Spence
Under arrest in the Portland City
Jail is John E. Hudson, alias John E.
Ringling, believed by the police to be
the most talented young crook and
arch swindler yet to fall into the net
of William A. Pinkerton, famous de
tective, who, now in Portland, paved
the way for -the arrest last night of
the prisoner by Detectives Baty and
Hyde.
Ringling is -the swagger and skillful
imposter who posed as a member of
the famous Ringling. Brothers syndi
cate in Los Angeles last August and
under J. Rufus Wallingford advances
succeeded in winning the hand of
Grace Spence, of Los Angeles, and on
the eve of the wedding disappeared
to be arrested later and released for
lack of evidence.
The circumstance was forcibly re
called last night when Hudson was
searched and on his person was found
. a marriage license issued in San Fran
cisco on September 17, last, to a Miss
Hayes and himself. It is apparent that
Hudson had repeated in San Francisco
his i.os Angeles programme and XJat
again, as in the south, his plans tor
getting married had gone awry.
In the cell adjoining the tramps and
ordinary vagrants picked up in the
daily police routine, Ringling, or Hud
son, who makes "touches' only in
sums of $1000 to $100,000 at a time,
is lodged, with the humble charge of
'vagrancy" placed against him. To
day he has recollections of how nearly
he got away witn $1000 in Portland,
and because of one of his own miscues
foiled his own endeavors to make in
roads into the gullible wealth of Port
land. FIRE FIGHTERS PLAN
TO REMODEL QUARTERS
Columbia Hook & Ladder Company
held its regular session Thursday
night and the question of improving
the quarters of the department was
discussed. It has been ascertained
that the old quarters ossupied by the
Columbia Hook & Ladder Company
and the quarters occupied by the
Fountain Hose Company are the same
old quarters used in the days of 69,
at the original organization of the two
companies. The carpet on the floor of
the Hook's meeting room was bought
by individual contributions of the
members almost half a century ago.
The tables and chairs are the same
that were used by the companies for
years past. The roof is in poor con
dition and in need of repair. The chim
ney, which is covered with gummy
sacks, the fire laddies are expecting
to have repaired.
Joe Lynch, W. L. Mulvey and T.
F. Gleason were appointed a commit
tee to confer with a like committee
from the Fountains Al Cox, Frank
Schoenborn, and Chris Hartman to
take steps to remodel the old struct
ure. It is estimated that the proposed
improvements, including new furni
ture, will run up to $500, but as most
of the firemen are taxpayers as well
as giving their time for the protection
of property, the committee will not
stop at expense.
With good quarters for the depart
ment many boys would join and have
a place to pass the evenings better
than the street corners.
At the close of the meeting the
members and invited guests sat down
to a banquet.
LARGE FISH SHIPMENT
A large shipment of catfish, crop
pies, small mouth black bass and yel
low catfish were received recently by
Henry O Malley, Superintendent of
the United States Fish Commission
of Oregon. They were brought into

RAILWAY FRANCHISE IS DISCUSSED
Motion to Pass Ordinance Reducing

Reading Is Defeat-
ed
The city council Thursday evening
again considered the control of the
street inspectors without arriving at
any definite conclusion. As a result
a resolution adopted at a previous
meeting providing that the committee
on streets and the city engineer have
charge of the inspectors is still in
force. Messrs. Tooze and Hortonj of
the committee, favor the street com
mittee having control of the general
inspector, Who is F. A. Burk, -while
City Engineer Montgomery and Mr.
Beard are of the opinion that the en
gineer should have control of all in
spectors. Mr. Holman contended that an in
justice had been done to the city en
gineer by the council, and insisted
that if the engineer were not compe
tent he should be dismissed. He de
clared that a minority of the council
had taken the power of appointment
of his subordinates from Mr. Mont
gomery, and he believed a majority
should rule. Mr. Holman offered a mo
tion providing, that that General In
spector Burk be .dismissed and that a
general inspector be appointed
when needed. He insisted that
one was not needed at present.
The motion provided that in the
future when a general inspector is
appointed he be named by a majority
of the council and city engineer and
that the street committee and city en
gineer name the other street inspe'c
ors and other men employer in the en
gineer's office. ' -
Mr. Horton objected vigorously to
the motion. s He declared that Engin
eer Montgomery was- not competent,
and sa,id that Mr. Burk had rendered
greater service to the city than any
other men employed in a similar ca
pacity. He declared that the general
inspector had saved the city money.
Mr. Horton called attention to a sewer
which had been laid in water, and con
sequently not properly laid which Mr.
Burke had reported to tne council. He
declared that when he asked the en
gineer about it that official declared
the sewer had been laid as an exper
iment. I am ready to resign frftm the com-
mittee,' said Mr. Horton. Mr. Tooze
J also said he was ready to resign.

Messrs. Albright, Horton; Meyer and

Mr. Pope announced that the coun
cil had just as well' let the proposi
tion stand as it is, adding that there
would be a new street committee af
ter the first of next year.
"I have been urged to offer for re-
; election,,' said Mr. Meyer, "but under
this state of affairs I am thinking ser
iously of having, the petitions called
in. We are in a serious condition."
"I wouldn't run again", said Mayor
Dimick.
Mr. Tooze insisted again that anoth
er committee be given charge of the
engineer's department, saying the
j work was onerous and unsatisfactory.

I The committee aDDointed to exam-
Ine and report on the proposed freight
franchise of the Portland Railroad,
Light & Power Company, made a re
port providing that one hour be cut
off the time of the night operations
and that the company pay the city
three and one half per cent of its
gross earnings on the freight, which
would amount to about $1,175 a year
instead if $500 a year. It also was
suggested that the company provide
a freight yard in the city and allow
other railways to use its tracks.
Franklin T. Griffith, general counsel
of the company, opposed an increase
of the yearly compensation, but said
the company would be twilling to pay
$750 a year. He called attention to
the fact that the railway paid $106,000
as county taxes last March, that it ;
pays 7 per cent of its gross receipts
for taxes and license fees and that the
business does not justify the increase
! asked when the franchise is to be of
only five years duration. He said if
j the company were allowed a thirty-
! year irancnise there might be reason
j for the " system of compensation sug
I gested. He said the business in this
city consisted largely of the hauling
j of logs which were shipped at a low
j rate because the hazard was not great.
Messrs Harris and Meyer said the.
j noise made by the freight cars inter
: ferred with the sleep of persons liv
ing on ana near Main Street: Frank
Busch insisted that the company be
compelled to provide a freight yard
and freight station. He said it would
be to the company's interest. Mr.
Griffith said if the company thoueht
lit necessary to have a freight yard
! it would provide one and that good
ousiness judgment would prompt it
to do so. Mr. Tooze insisted upon a
common user's clause being inserted
in the franchise. This was nnnnaej!
) v Mr. Griffith who said the. company
i was willing to make amicable arrange
I ments with other . railways for the
; transportation of freight, but Inas
much as the track was a single one
it could not allow other railways to
fuse it. Mr. Tooze offered a motion
providing that the city recorder be
instructed to. draft a freight franchise
embracing a clause of five year's du-

With Club and Brings Injured
-" Woman to . ..
City
But for her presence of mind and
her ability to wield an umbrella and
a club, Mrs. A. R. Stephens, an aged
resident of Maple Lane, would have
been killed by a male goat Tuesday
morning as she was coming to Ore
gon City. The goat, which belonged
to an Oregon City butcher, had es
caped from a pen. Mrs. Stephens was
seriously bruised and gored, but it is,
r"eved she will recover. The animal
ged soon after she had left her
) .e, and being unable to run," she
'backed up against a fence at the edge
of the walk and. fought it vigorously
with her umbrella. The umbrella
was soon broken and Mrs. Stephens
seized a stick with which she contin
ued to defend herself as best she
could, the animal's horns were of un
usual length and several times they
struck the fence preventing it from
butting Mrs. Stephens. She, how
ever, was getting the. worst of
the encounter and tiring rapidly
when C. W. Swallow, who was
returning home from Oregon City,
arrived. The goat made a lunge for
him but Mr.. Swallow felled it with
the butt end of his buggy whip, break
ing it. The animal regained its feet
in an instant and . made another
plunge at Mr. Swallow, who, mean
while had armed himself with a club
and dealt the goat a powerful blow,
rendering it unconscious. Mr.' Swal
low brought Mrs. Stephens to a drug
store" in this City where she received
medical attention. She is 68 years of
age.
