Fifteen men were indicted for riot
ing by the grand jury Wednesday
following a midnight demonstration
at the Crown-Columbia pulp mill, the
Hawley paper mill and the Crown
Columbia paper mill, in which some"
300 men were driven from their work,
approximately - $500 worth of dam
age done to mill property, and which
may be the start of industrial unrest
in this city that will have far-reaching
consequences. The fifteen men
were all bound over, after prelimin
ary hearing, in the sum of $500 each
for trial at the July term Of the su
perior court.
The men indicted are: John Buss,
Peter Sam, M. S. Pluiland, Laus Main,
Charles Brown, Burt Nutting, C. Cor
bin, O. L. Jensen, M. Cornt, E. Duf
fin, E. Piatt, Frank Moore, E. (J.)
Clemens, John Price and Andrew Pot
schnick. The majority of them live
in Oregon City, and have worked in
the local mills, but some of them are
from Portland. They were arraigned
before Judge J. U. Campbell in the
morning, entered pleas of not guilty
to the crime charged in the indict
ment, and were at once remanded to.
the county jail in lieu of furnishing
the required bonds.
Mystery in Trouble
The outbreak that started the trou
ble is believed to have been enginer
ed by Portland labor agitators, who
for some time past have been quietly
working among the local mill employ
ees, spreading among them propa
ganda. Tuesday night, without any
warning, and without encouragement
from the local men, a number of agi
tators arrived from Portland and pro
ceeded to the Crown-Columbia pulp
mill, just to the south of Oregon City,
and called upon the foreman to close
the plant down. The foreman refus
ed. The men insisted, and said that
if it was not done they would take
matters into their own hands and
close the plant down themselves.
The foreman went down into the
lower level of the mill, called some
of the huskiest employees together,
and then returned at their head, and
suggested that if the invaders wanted
to close down the plant they had a
golden opportunity. As the outsiders
did not relish the looks of the- mill
men behind the foreman, they depart
ed, saying that they would return in
sufficient numbers later and "put the
place out of business." Information
as to this appearance of the agitators
was given Patrolman Cook, of the
night police shift, but as no violence
had been attempted, and as the men
promptly dispersed, Cook thought the
foreman needlessly alarmed, and af
ter keeping an eye upon the plant for
sometime, returned to his beat, which
carried him to the other end of the
city.
Second Force Arrives
About an hour later, or just about
midnight, another force of invaders
arrived at the mill. They seemed to
be under good leadership, and num
bered, it is said, about 30 or 35. They
called upon the foreman to close down
the plant, and he, thinking discretion
,the better part of valor,-told the em
ployees to shut down the machinery
and leave the buildings. The men
gathered in the yard, where they
were talked to by the outside men.
Patrolman Cook hove in view again
at this juncture, but seeing nothing
but a body of men conversing in
groups, and still doubting that any
serious harm was ' intended, went
away and returned to his beat, not
thinking the occurrence of sufficient

worth to notify Chief Shaw or th-a
county officers.
Following the talk at the mills, the
crowd broke into two sections. One
composed of employees of the mill
Who elected to take no part in later
developments, went-their way home
ward, while the others, composed of
the outsiders and some of the mill
hands, went to the Hawley plant,
nearby, and ordered the men to quit
their machines and walk out. The
employees, too dazed to realize what
was happening, made no move, where
upon the invaders threatened vio
lence, and by intimidation drove the
men away from the machines. Some
i the crowd did some slight damage
at the Hawley "plant. Following this
they were joined by a few more mill
hands, and in a body the crowd cross
ed the suspension bridge to tho west
side of the river and advanced upon
the Crown-Columbia paper mil!.
West Side Attacked
Here warning had been sent ;if
their coming by telephone from vUo
east side plants, and some resistance
was offered. A line of fire hose was
strung out. and made ready to play,
but the men manning it never turned
water on, and the invading force
-broke into the plant, threw the men
from the machines, slashed belting,
broke lights, cut out the switches
and started a number of fights.
Thoroughly" intimidated, ' and badly
rattl?d, the employees of the mill
fled helter-skelter, though some few
of them joined the attacking forces.
After doing about $400 worth of dam
age at the west side plant, the out
siders moved on to the plant of the
Willamette Pulp & Paper company.
Here interesting preparations had
been made to meet them. Fire hose
was run out and manned, the gates
were barricaded, and the employees
were lined up and armed with poles,
crowbars, peavies, and such other
weapons of defense as were at hand.
The invading force took one look at
the prepartions, and then retreat 3d.
In the retreat the ring-leaders of the
movement slipped away into the
woods, probably walked to Oswego,
and so returned to Portland.
Sheriff Takes Action
Still others started on the return
to Oregon City, while a small group
waited at the west end of the suspen
sion bridge for further developments.
In the meantime news of the attacks
on the mills had been telephoned to
Sheriff E. T.. Mass, who at once rout
ed out as many deputies as he could
muster, and with '& force of five men
besides himself, started on the double
quick for the west side. At the eas
tern edge of the bridge sonfe of the
returning men were met, and by a
clever strategem the sheriff added
them to his party, and led them across
the bridge.
The knot of men waiting at the
western approach made no move at
the approach of the deputies, in fact
so many of their own men were with
them that they probably did not rec
ognize the few officers in the group.
Without any parley Sheriff Mass drew
his revolver and ordered everyone to
put hands up, , and his deputies cov
ered the crowd. Completely taken by
surprise, and .Jacking a leader, the
men reached towards the sky, each
striving to pick out at least one of
the stars that were shining down
through the breaking dawn.
The men were all promptly lined
up against the bridge rail and search
ed. The only weapon found was a
long knife carried bygone of the out
siders. The whole party was then
marched to the county jail, where a
few "non-combaants" were weeded
out, and the balance held until fore
men from the mills came and identi
fied those who had done the damage.
Fifteen of them were later locked up
to await the action of the grand jury.

LARGEST STEAMER
ON FIRST VOYAGE
HAMBURG, June 11. The Hamburg-American
Company's new liner
Imperator sailed today on her maiden
voyage to New York. An enormous
crowd congregated at the dock and
along the water front and with load
cheers gave an enthusiastic "bon
voyageT to the new "Goliath of the
Ocean". The big vessel, which is a
triumph of marine architecture,
steamed gracefully out of the harbor,
carrying a complement of more than
4,009 passengers, among whom were
many well-known Americans. It is
expected that under ordinary circum
stances New York will be reached
next Tuesday evening or early Wed
nesday morning. '
When the Imperator ties up at her
dock in the North River next week
New Yorkers will have an opportun
ity to inspect the largest vessel ia
the world. She has a gross tonnage
of 50,000 (or nearly 5,000 tons great
er than the Olympic) and is of the
same general dimensions as the great
Acquitania now nearing completion
for the Cunard line. There are elev
en decks on the liner. The prome
nade deck is a quarter of a mile
long, so long in fact that a person
standing at one end could not rec
ognize a person at the other end,
Uovcr steamboats of average size
could said lengthwise through one of
the giant funnels of the Imperator.
One . of the novel features of the
big vessel is a roomy swimming pool
in a beautiful Pompeian hall. Among
other luxuries with which the vessel
has been fitted are a great entertain
ment hall two stories high, three
electric elevators, a completely equip
ped gymnasium, a "cottage" cafe, a
winter garden and a Ritz-Carleton
restaurant. The main dmmg saloon
is 300 feet long.

COUNGILMEN TALI
OVER CITY AFFAIRS
The city council met in usual ses
sion Wednesday evening, and devoted
most of its time to listening to com
plaints, remonstrances and sugges
ti6ns from property holders in regard
to street work and other municipal
improvements. From time to tims
some of the members would go out
on the streets, to see if there were
any developments in the local labor
situation, and as a result nothing but
routine work was accomplished.
The entrance of Chief of Police
Shaw to the council chamber every
now and then, to obtain badges for
special deputies, helped enliven the
proceedings, as did an informal dis
cussion of some proposed ordinances.
The meeting, in the main, was a
series of heart-to-heart talks between
the councilmen and property owners
in regard to sundry details of the
municipal business. Many matters
of relatively small- importance, but
nevertheless of considerable aggrava
tion, were gone over, and at the close i
of the session there was a much bet
ter understanding of improvement
plans.
The -matter of the public elevator
on the face of the bluff was not talc
en up, as the date of receiving and
opening bids has not yet arrived.

"The Old Order
Changeth"
This is an oft-quoted phrase,
but nowhere is it more truly
applicable than in regard to ad
vertising. We need not- be so
very old to remember the -lay
when we eyed all advertise
ments and advertisers with
suspicion. The advertisements
we regarded as traps to catch
the unwary and the advertisers
as "quacks'"" or "fakers".
Not so many years ago a
woman picked up a newspaper
and exclaimed:
"Just listen to this: 'Blank
& Blank desire to call the at
tention of their patrons to
their Fall importations of suits
and wraps'. I never saw Blank
& Blank advertise before. I
wonder if they are going to get
cheap!" . .
A few weeks ago the same
woman said to a friend: "I had
been hunting all over for that
Oriental embroidery and had
given up finding it when I just
happened upon the very thing
I wanted at Blank & Blank's. I
told the man it was a pity thsy
had not advertised it and sav
ed me tramping all over the
city."
This is a true story. The
same woman, the same shop,
nothing changed but the time
and the point of view.
Women today feel aggrieved
if tke dealers do not keep them
informed of their stock through
th"e medium of the good newspapers.

LONDON, June 11. There was a
great outpouring of London society
today for the opening of the Noah's
Ark Fair in Albert Hall. The fair,
which will continue two days, is giv
en in aid of a London hospital. Juean
Alexandria is the patron of the fair
and the Duchess of Marlborough, the
Countess of Lonsdale and a number
of other women in the highest ranks
of the nobility are among the mem
bers of 'the committee.
The delighted throngs that wander
ed through the aisles of the big hall
at the opening this afternoon afford
ed evidence that the efforts of the
promoters to make the fair one of the
"biggest and best" ever given in the
metropolis had met with. success.
Novel and attractive features were to
be encountered at every turn. Not
the least attractive was the "Amer
ican bar", where so-called American
mixed drinks were dispensed to the
thirsty. Lord Lonsdale presided ps
chief barkeeper and was- assisted In
making up the beverages by Prince
Paul of Servia, Count , Elsen and

EXERCISES TO BE HELD WEEK
FROM SATURDAY IN" FINE
STRUCTURES IN PARK
SPECIAL PROGRAM BEING ARRANGED
Effort Will be Made to Demonstrate
Various Lines of Usefulness
of Institution to All
, " Citizens
The new library building in Sev
enth Street park is to be formally op
ened to the public on Saturday, June
21. Although the building has been
in actual use for over three wees,
it has been thought best to defer the
exercises connected with the formal
occupancy until such time as it could
be properly arranged, in order that
the work of the library could be seen
to better advantage.
On the twenty-first, the building
will open for inspection afternoon and
evening. An informal reception will
be held and in the evening there will
be a program of music and short
speeches. Miss Marvin, librarian :'f
the state library, will be present and
wili speak. The program will be an
nounced later. .
It is hoped that there will be a
large attendance at the farmal open
ing, so that everybody can become
acquainted with the conveniences
and equipment of the library. The
structure has been especially well
plannel, ana its equipment is as com
plete as that of any other library in
Oregon. Use of the library is now free
to everybody in the county, and res
idents of points outside of Oregon
City are specially invited to be prss
ent at the opening and see what op
portunities are at hand for study, aj
search or recreation.
With the desire to make the library
of the greatest possible service to
all, tne librarian will be glad to hear
from anyone suggestions for broad
ening and extending the library's
work. It might be well to say here,
too, that if anyone has a book which
he is willing to pass along, which
will be useful or interesting to others,
the librarian will by no means refuse
it. In times past the library has re
ceived many such gifts, and they
still cams quite frequently. They
are always appreciated.
LIBRARY NOTES
The libray has mailed to each mem
ber of the recent high school graduat
ing class a copy of a little leaflet en
titled, "Don't be a Quitter", with the
library's congratulations and an invi
tation to come to the library. The
leaflet, by S. H. Ranck, librarian of
the Grand Rapids, Michigan, public
library, contains much sound advice
concerning the continuance of an ed
ucation by the use of books.
Miss Price, the librarian, is attend
ing the conference of the Pacific
Northwest Library Association in Ta
coma. This association includes Ore
gon, Washington and British Colum
bia.
The "settling" in the new build
ing is about complete, and by the
time of the opening next week every
thing will be placed as it is to be
kept. This process of establishing
the library in new quarters has been
rather slower than it would otherwise
have been because of continuing the
circulation without interruption.
WOMAN'S CLUB TO MEET
THURSDAY FOR PROGRAM
The Woman's club of Oregon City
will meet Thursday afternoon, instead
of Wednesday afternoon as was stat
ed in Wednesday's paper. The meet
ing will be in the parlors of the Com
mercial club, and as considerable
business of importance is to come up,
it is desired that a full attendance be
present. The program of the day will
be in charge of Mlrs. F. J. Tooze, who
will present a paper on "The Effect
of Woman's Organteations Upon Ed

SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 11 The
ballot, with some limitations, was
placed in the hands of Illonois women
today, so far as the legislature is
concerned, the issue now being up to
Governor Dunne. The house today
passed Senate bill No. 63, popularly "
known as the "suffragette bill", which
had been previously passed by the
state senate. There had been a
stormy fight, the. suffragettes once
before during the session having beau
defeated and winning only after the
most strenuous exertion. Submission
to the people is not required. ' '
The bill gives only partial suffrage.
Full suffrage was not sought under
the bill, although provision was made
for fighting that battle in another
way. The new "law provides that wo
men may vote- for presidential elec
tors, members of the State Board of
Equalization, clerk of the appellate
court, county collector, county sur

FIRE THREATENS
SHIIELY THEATRE
Fire threatened Shiveley's opera
house Wednesday morning when a
blaze broke out in Friend's furniture
store, underneath the auditorium.
Passersby qn the street were attract
ed by the smoke pouring out of the
building, and turned in an' alarm,
which was sounded from headquar
ters at about half past nine.
The department promtly responded
to the call, making the hard run up
the hill, but before the apparatus ar
rived on the seen the blaze had been
put under control by citizens attract
ed by the excitement. The arrival of
the firemen served to extinguish the
last vestige of the fire.
Damage resulting from the fire were
slight, and will soon be repaired. Th,
fire, however, created a great deal ot
excitement in the neighborhood, and
called forth a mob of people. Fear'
was expressed at first that the flames
would spread and sweep the entire
Seventh street business district, but
it was quickly seen that this would
not happen, and all efforts were then
turned to putting the fire out. It is
believed that defective wiring caused
the troble.
