Veteran of Indian Wars in Rogue

ize Soldiers.
BROWNSVILLE, Or., Jan. 29 In
the death of Captain James Blakely,
100 years and two months old, here
tonight at 6:45 o'clock Oregon lost
an historic pioneer. Captain Blakely
has long -been considered the oldest
pioneer in the state. His span of
life stretched from the close of the
second war with England in 1812.
Captain Blakely's death came af
ter an illness of severaf months, al
though for a time his recovery seem
ed so promising that November 26
he sat at the head of the family table
and took part in a celebration in
honor of his 100th birthday. Five
generations, including himself, were
present at the dinner and in the ev
e.nig Browsville citizens gave a cele
bration in the tabernacle in his hon
or. Captain Blakely was born in Lynes
County, Tennesee, November 26, 1812,
and received his education there. In
1838 he moved with his family to
Missouri, where he lived until April
4, 1846. In that year he started for
Oregon, arriving at the place which
is now Brownville October 9 of that
year. With his uncle, Hugh L. Brown,
after whom Brownsville later was
named, he took up a donation claim
and started Brownsville in 1855. He
became with his uncle a member of
one of the leading mercantile estab
lishments of that seceion.
To Captain Blakely fell honors in
war, as in statesmanship and local
affairs He assisted in organizing
Company E, Oregon Volunteers, in
March, 1856, and was elected Captain.
He organized his neighbors later for
a three month's war with the Rogue
River Indians and returned home July
4 with the "Declaration of Indepen
dence from Indian Troubles." As a
member from Linn County to the
Oregon Legislature during the session
in which Senator Michell was elected
to the United States the first -time,
Captain Blakely distinguished him
self. He had been a lifelong Demo
crat and was always active in state
affairs and in local undertakings. He
had been a member of the First Pres
byterian Church here since its organ
ization. Boring Lodge Instituted.
The lodge of Oddfellows, No. 234,
at Boring, was instituted Saturday
night by Grand Master William A.
Wheeler and Grand Secretary E. E.
Sharon, assisted by 45 members.
Non Support Charged.
Earl Devenport, charged with non
support by his wife was arrested at
his home in Greenpoint by Deputy
Sheriff Miles Wednesday morning. He
will be given a hearing by County
Judge Beatie this morning.

ish LONDON, Jan. 29. "Not one cent
of tribute will I pay to a man's gov
ernment." This was the stand taken today by
Mrs. Flora Drummond, militant suf
ragette, when convicted of disorder
ly conduct and malicious destruction
of property and fined $10 in Bow
Street police court here. Other suff
ragettes awaiting arraignment on
similar charges announced today they
would take the same stand.
When ordered to jail for 14 days
Mrs. Drummond declared she would
institute a hunger strike, even if it
resulted in her death. Other suffra
gettes concurred in this plan unless
they were classed as political prison
ers. Suffragettes last night continued
demonstrations throughout London.
Acid was poured on a score of letter
boxes. All windows in Oxford and
Regent Streets were boarded up to
day, the shopkeepers anticipating an
other window-smashing tonight.
After the conviction of Mrs. Drum
mond 30 other suffragettes were ar
raigned for malicious destruction ot
property. Each was given the alter
native of paying a $10 fine or spend
ing two weeks in jail. All preferred
jail. As the women left the court
each declared she would not eat a
morsel of food during the incarcera
tion. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of
Mrs. Emiline Pankhurst, the suffra
gette leader, did not appear in Bow
Street court today. She was arrest
ed with Mrs. Drummond last night,
but later was released on her own re
cognizance and under promise of
good behavior.
Scotland Yard detectives are seek
ing Miss Christobel Pankhurst, an
other of Mrs. Emeline Pankhurst's
daughters.
Yesterday the militant suffragettes
asked Lloyd-George to receive a dele
gation of . women. He offered to let
his private secretary receive them
tomorrow. Mrs. Drummond pledged
there would be no distrubance if the
chancellor would receive the women.
He refused.
When the suffragette leaders tried
to force an entrance to the building
they were arrested, and a riot follow
ed. Windows in the treasury and oth
ed buildings were stoned. Wholesale
arrests failed to check the attack, al
though the police were stationed
three deep about the parliament build
ings. The" police barely held their own,
but the reserves were held back, the
authorities fearing that the attack
on the parliament buildings was only
a blind intended to ccver extensive
raids elsewhere.
A gang of youths jostled the wom
en and attempted .o duck them in i
Trafalgar Square fountain, but weie
dispersed by police.

Ml WORRY' MEETING
TO BE HELD TONIGHT
' An "anti-worry meeting" will be
held tonight at the First Congrega
tional Church. Rev. George Nelson
Edwards, the pastor, announced that
the subject for consideration at the
mid.week service would be "Antidotes
for Worry." The announcement has
created much interest, in view of the
program, which will be in the nature
of a spiritual clinic. Mr. Edwards
proposes to. give a general lecture on
the subject of "modern worries."
Following his remarks the meeting
will be thrown open to those present.
Speakers -will be asked in advance
to specify "something that has worried
them, its cause and its effect. The
cure tried by experience will also be
gi- en. The pastor will close the
"clinic" by giving valuable hinis bear
ing directly on the various worries as
they come up during the prayer meet
ing. Others will be asked to suggest
specific cures. .
Mr. Edwards, in speaking of his
unique prayer meeting said: "I want
the general public to come and bring
their worries along with them. We
promise to do them good. I am com
ing to believe that the prayer meet
ing can be more serviceable if the
subjects are of a practical kind, bear
ing directly on the spiritual and the
social life. There is nothing sensa
tional about tonight's service, but it
will be intensely practical. Optimism
will prevail, and we hope to show
those who are worried especially
about anything, how it can '.prevail as
it should. The songs will be bright,
joyous, calculated to drive worry
from the mind. Everything said and
done will be of the same nature. It
will be a straight out and out 'anti
worry meeting. "

TEN-HOUR BILL.
FACES DEFEAT
SCHUEBEL'S MEASURE CERTAIN
TO HAVE GREAT OPPOSITION
IN SENATE
WORKERS FAVOR SYSTEM IN VOGUE
Men Would be Allowed to Work Only
Five Days Under Bill Others
Would be Employ
ed -
The bill of Representative Schue
bel, passed by the House by a vote of
45 to 19, if passed by the Senate, will
make a big change in the shifts in
the Oregon City mills.. The bill pro
vides that it shall be the public pol
icy of the state that ten hours a day
and 60 hours a week are the maxi
mum of hours of labor for men in
mil's, factories and manufacturing
establishments. The bill provides
that run shall not be employed for
longer hours than these hours except
in case of watchmen, making neces
sary repairs or of emergency where
life or property is in iminent peril.
Employes may work overtime two
hours a day but must not work more
than 60 hours in one week. Employ
ers who shall allow violations of the
law are to be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor, and may be fined not less
tnan $50 nor more than $500.
A superintendent of one of the pap
er mills here said Wednesday if the
bill became a law it would result in
shift men working only five days a
week. . He said that other men would
have to be employed. The mills will
not close because the cost of starting
would be too great, and consequently
other jien must be employed to take
the place of those laid off under the
provisions of the law. The men do
not favor the measure because they
are paid by the hour and desire to
get in as many hours as possible. It
is not believed that the bill will be
passed by tb.3 Senate.

MALARKEY SPRINGS BIG SUR-,
PRISE ON MEASURE LONG .
CONTESTED
DIMICK SWITCHES TO ITS SUPPORT
Senator Explains That Proposition's
Wrong, But He Believes
It Is Best at Pres
ent .
SALEM, Jan. 29., (Special.) Presi
dent Malarkey, of the Senate, by
whose vote the resolution to put on
the ballot at the next general election
an amendment repealing the home
rule bill was defeated Tuesday, sprung
a surprise today when he moved to
reconsider the resolution.
The motion was carried and on sec
ond vote the resolution which was
lost Tuesday was adopted today and
sent into the House where it will be"
the center of warfare.
Senator. Dimick of Clackamas voted
against the bill Tuesday, but was the
one Senator who switched and voted .
in favor of it and assisted In its pas
sage. In explaining his position he
stated that he still believed the prop
osition wrong for the Legislature to
attempt to tinker with the peoples .
laws by sending a measure to the
ballot for a side which has once been
defeated by the peoples" vote.
But he stated, after consideration, i
he had reached the conclusion that
by voting for the resolution it would
only mean that the expense of initiat
ing a petition would be obviated and .
for that reason he decided to vote for
it. The other Senator added to the
affirmative vote was Hollis, of Wash-
ington, who was in Portland Wed
nesday. The Clackamas delegation
was quiet today on both sides of the
Legislature and but little transpired
of interest in either house.
LEGISLATURE PROBES
TELEPHONE COMBINE
SALEM, Or., Jan. 29. Unless the
Legis.lature passes an anti-trust law
with an emergency clause attached,
which will meet the situation, the
state will be powerless to prevent
the Pacific States Telephone Com
pany from gobbling up the Northwes
tern Long Distance Telephone Com
panyj its only competitor, according
to a report by Attorney General Craw
ford, and which will likely be submit
ted to the Legislature tomorrow after
noon. By a joint resolution of the Legis
lature, the Attorney General was seni
to Portland to investigate the report
ed attempt of the Bill Company to
get control of the Home Company.- He
states that he found the Bell Com
pany had bought up the bonds of its
competitor for the evident purpose of
putting it out of business, and that
it was now attempting to foreclose
on the bonds.
He said he found that if the Home
Company is put out of business, in
addition to throttling this competi
tion, it will be a severe blow to nearly
all of the local and farmers' lines in
the state, as the Bell Company refus
es to permit these local lines to con
nect with its line, while the Home
Company does permit them to con
nect. Senator Smith of Coos has intro
duced an anti-trust bill, being Senate
bill No. 156, that meets the exigen
cies of the case if the bill becomes
a law without delay, according to the
Attorney General. An effort was made
Monday to have the rules in th Sen
ate suspended so the bill could be
rushed, but the Senate refused to
rush it.
"Under present laws, the state is
powerless to interfere," declares the
Attorney General.
ECONOMY IS PLAN
OF LEGISLATURE
SALEM, Or., Jan. 29. From a good
many indications, with especial ref
erence to the attitude of members
of the house ways and means commit
tee, this is likely to prove a pretty
lean year in appropriation.
It is said that members of the
committee have practically reached
an agreement to prune appropriations
right and left. In fact, it is asserted
that there will be a great many dis
appointed appropriation hunters be
fore the session ends. -
Even the state institutions, includ
ing the penitentiary, feeble minded"
schools, and so forth, and the state
educational institutions will feel the
effects of the policy of rigid economy
the committee is expected to pursue.
Proposals have already been made
to slash to the very limit some of
these appropriations which are de
clared by officials of the institutions
to be already as low as efficiency will
permit. Members of the committee,
it is said, have determined to carry
economy so far that there will be no
opportunty for Governor West to put
his threatened "deadline" vetoes In
to effect.
As yet the committee has not coil'-'
sidered any large appropriations, but
at a meeting last night some minor
ones were taken up. Speaker McAr
thur's bill to appropriate $10,000 to
fight bubonic plague and one by Jay
Upton to reimburse Richard Williams
and others who advanced $1265 to buy
the site of the Champoeg monument,
were killed.
