J 12 THE MOBNINQ OREGONIAN, PBIDAY, MAY 16,-190:5. STRIKE WILL LAST Mine Workers Vote to Con tinue the Struggle. FIGHT TO THE BITTER END Bituminous Coal Miners May Be Drawn Into the Struggle Operat ors Determined to Breolc the Union, HAZDETON, Pa., May 16. The anthra cite mlneworkers, In convention here this afternoon, directed to continue the strike of the 145,000 men against the mlneowners and to fight It out to the bitter end. The matter of calling out the engineers, fire men and pump-runners will be directed by the delegates tomorrow. "While the leadens are cautious and will not forecast their actions. It Is not un likely that the miners' fight will be car ried Into the bituminous coal regions and Into' other fields of Industry. Mlnework ers for eight months have been looking forward to the strike that Is now upon them. For the strike they have saved their money, and are considered to be In hetter shape today for a fight than they were In the great strike of 1900. That strike ended In the mlneowners giving the men a 10 per cent advance after a six weeks suspension. The operators are on Tecord as being unalterably opposed to granting the men any concessions, and they have personally informed the mine workers' leaders of that fact. The work men fear that the present fight may mean the destruction of their organization, be cause they believe that the mlneowners are bent more on wrecking their union than they are in opposing the demands for higher wages and shorter work days. President Mitchell's advice to the miners was for peace, and he gave it to them In the "plainest and most forceful of lan guage. He was ably assisted by President Fahey and Secretary Hartley, of the lower district, and Secretary Dempsey, of the upper territory- President Nicolls, of the first district, was the first great cham pion of the strike advocates. Mr. Mitch ell, who was the last to speak, was list ened to with the greatest attentidn. It 1 also said that a telegram was received from the American Federation of Labor against a permanent suspension. But the delegates would not listen, and amidst suppressed excitement the vote was taken. For a time it looked as if the peace ad vocates would win, but when delegation after delegation from the lower district, the last to be called, answered "yes," It was seen that the men who favored a fight had won. The result was received by the convention with applause, which, however, was not very enthusiastic or prolonged. The men appreciated the seri ousness pf their decision, which no doubt dampened their ardor. The .miners Insist that nearly all the engineers, firemen and pump-runners be long to their organization, and say that they can get them all to quit If they want to. In the event this is brought about, it would do Incalculable damage to the mines through flooding, unless the com panies can fill the men's places. President- Mitchell was apparently In good humor tonight. He was pressed for a statement on the situation, but he po litely refused. Wilkesbarre will probably be the strike headquarters. Interfered With Lumber Delivery. HELENA, Mont., May 15. Jesse B. Roote, as attorney for the "Western Lum ber Company, of Spokane, today applied to the "United States Court for an injunc tion to restrain the Teamsters' Union, of Butte, .from interfering with the delivery of lumber by the company to Senator AV. A. Clark for a block he Is constructing. The Butte teamsters are on a strike, and when the transfer company attempted to haul the lumber from a depot, the drivers, who were threatened with a boycott, quit work. A temporary restraining order was granted. WIGGINS FERRY STOCK. Attempt to Dispone of Shares Leads to an Injunction. .ST. LOUIS, May 15. One hundred and thirty-two shares of Wiggins Ferry stock, belonging to Mrs. Mary Bowen, who is now' in Paris, are tied up here In the office of the United States Express Company by an Injunction granted on behalf of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, which claims ownership. The stock had been sent here from Cincinnati to be turned over to the Mercantile Trust Company, which Is trying to secure control of the ferry company for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway. Because of the contest between the Mercantile and Mis sissippi Valley Trust Companies for 'the control of the Wiggins Ferry Company, the price of the stock has risen until it Is valued at anywhere from $500 to $2000 a share. The Sheriff is looking for Mrs. Eleanor Clubb to serve a writ of injunction re straining her from disposing of the stock belonging to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Bow en. Mrs. Clubb has been in Cincinnati, the Mississippi Valley officials say, at tending to the Interests of her slster-ln-law. The Sheriff cannot find her. Mrs Bowen accepted an offer of $600 a share from the Mississippi Valley Company for her 132 shares, which were in the care of a Cincinnati trust company. When she received an offer of $1000 a share from the Mercantile Trust Company, she ca bled to the Mississippi Valley Trust Com pany an offer of $10,000 for release from her' contract. This w,is refused and the officers of the company later learned of the preparations for the sale to the Mer cantile Company through the Common wealth Trust Company. Under the In junction served upon the express company officials, the stock cannot now be taken from the express office. CONTRACT FOR 15 MILES. ' Let by Columbia River Jb Jfortfaern Company Yesterday.

"TV'orlc on the Bohemia Railroad. E. T. Johnson, chief engineer of the Oregon & Southeastern Railroad, being built from, Cottage Grove. Lane County, to the; Bohemia mining district, has been in the city a few -days, and left for Cot tage Grove last night. He says that two j miles of the road are graded, and that camps are strung along the line for eight miles and that the first 10 miles of the road from Cottage Grove to a point on Row River will be completed and trains running over It by July 3L The road runs up the valley of the Row River, an old settled and fine agricultural country, -with a delightful climate, and as the grade runs through a level country of fields, pastures and meadow lawn, with very little woodland, the work is light and pro ceeds rapidly. There are some 40 teams and 50 men at present employed In grad ing. Cottage Grove Is situated on the Coast fork of the Willamette, and the Row River, which enters the Coast fork a little below the town, is the larger of the two rivers. Harrlman Branching; Out. BISBEE, Ariz.. May 15. It is rumored that control of the Green Consolidated Company has, passed to new owners, who are stated to be the principal owners of the General Electric Company, of New York. It Is alleged the new owners have acquired the Green Consolidated on a basis of about $100 a share for control of the property. That figure represents a transaction aggregating a sum In excess of $30,000,000. The purchase Is said to have been for cash.

Famous Comedian in "When We Were Twenty-One.' Tonight Mr. N. C. Goodwin and Miss Maxlne Elliott will open an engagement of two nights, with a soeclal mntfniA Sat urday. The play this evening and at the matinee tomorrow will be Henry V. Es mond's beautiful Idyll, "When "We Were Twenty-One." which these artists pre sented on their former visit to Portland, and made such a decided hit Saturday night one of the greatest successes they have ever had. "An American Citizen," written by Madelane Lucette Ryley, will be presented. At no time In his long and remarkable career has M.r. Goodwin been offered greater opportunity for the dis play of his wonderful versatility than In these charming comedies. The characters heportrays in them appeal earnestly to the" immediate sympathies of all of his auditors. Miss Elliott, who is recognized as the most gifted of the ladies on the stage, in each play presents a creation of much lovableness. In both plays she has an opportunity for the display of beauti ful gowns, five of them being magnifi cent creations of-Parisian dressmakers, but those most favored by Miss Elliott being built for her In this country. Mr. Goodwin and Miss-Elliott bring with them a cast of superior excellence and tho scenic environments will portray the lo cale of each story most delightfully. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:15, and those not seated will have to remain standing until the fall of the curtain on the first act. Crowds at "In aiixzonra." For the sixth time this week the Baker Theater was crowded from top to bottom last night with people who came to en joy "In MIzzoura," as played by the Stuart Company, and remained to enjoy it. There is something about the play which seems to ba IrreeUUbl. Papl go to see It over and over again, and f there has not been a performance which has not been received with the greatest enthusiasm. There is no doubt that of all the popular plays that have been put on by the Stuart Company, this Is the. most popular, and there ,1s little doubt that the capacity of the house wllUbe tested the rest of the week. "In Miz zoura" will be the bill at the Saturday afternoon matinee, and the performance promises to be unusually attractive. The play Is one that "will especially please audiences of women and children that are accustomed to form the greater and most enthusiastic part of matinee crowds. The Lamb Children Coming;. "Two Little "Waifs." from the pen of Lincoln J. Carter, will be seen for the first time at Cordray's Theater Sunday and all next week. It is said to be one of the most pretentious of Mr." Carter's many plays. The story of this . play hinges upon the striking ljkeness of two women In love with the some man, who, unknown to each other, are twin sisters. The dual role is taken by Helen Carrall, at one moment depicting motherly love, the faithfulness of a deserted wife, and the self-sacrificing principle of a woman who believes her husband to be true, and In the next she portrays a character as villainous and deceptive as the other Is pure and beautiful. Stanley and Lollta Lamb essay the parts of the waifs. These clever tots were born here, and In their new parts this season are said to have made a pro. nounced hit. The scenic effects. It Is asserted, are above the Lincoln Carter standard. "The Banker's Daughter.' It takes a long time to prepare a cos tume play, but the play Is usually worth the time. This will without doubt Ije true of "The Banker's Daughter," which will be played. by the Stuart Company at the Baker Theater after "The Count of Monte Cristo." The play will be well staged, as well as well costumed, and the repu tation of the company is a guarantee that It will be well played. The Fravrley Repertoire. The plays that the Fra,wley Company have chosen for their repertoire during their week's stay at the Marquam Gand, which commences next Monday night, are ones In which they have scored their greatest triumphs everywhere. The play for the opening night will be "Alabama," and this will be repeated Tuesday. It Is the most successful of Mr. Thomas' great "state" dramas, and Is in fact the one that made him famous. Wednesday and Thursday nights will come Plnero's "Sweet Lavender," declared by many to be the prettiest play ever written. Friday night and at the Saturday mat inee the Frawley Company will put on an elaborate revival of "The Charity Ball," and for the last performance Sat urday night, the celebrated "buzzsaw" drama, "Blue Jeans," will be given. The entire Frawley Company will appear In all of the productions. "Monte Cristo" Next Week. "The 'Count of Monte Cristo' has not been played for, so long In Portland that many people will have the opportunity of making its acquaintance anew Tvben It Is presented by the Stuart Company at the Baker Theater next week. The play will be elaborately mounted, and Mr. Stuart says thnt he has given more care to Its preparation than to anything he has yet put on. The advance sale is already very heavy, and is rapidly growing. DOWIE'SDAUGHTERBURNED Physicians Summoned, but Could Do Nothing to Save Her Life. CHICAGO, May 15. Esther Dowle, daughter of Dr. Alexander Dowle, pro prietor of "ZIon," died last night of burns, having suffered for hours, while "Elijah II" prayed over her. Miss Dowle was 23 years old and a stu dent at the University of Chicago. Yes terday morning her hair caught fire from a gas Jet and her face was horribly burned. Nurses placed salve on the pa tient's wounds, as the Dowle doctrine al lows for the use of medicine externally. Meanwhile the "Divine Healer" was hur rying to the bedside from his new City of ZIon at Waukegan. Upon his arrival the attendants were excluded from the room, and Dowle Rink to his knees In prayer. His supplications lasted all day. He re fused to cease even to take the nourish ment which his followers pressed upon him. The patient was unconscious much of the time. The patient dlfcd at 9 o'clock In great agony, having returned to consciousness a short time before. News of the death did not come out until today, when the Coroner was notified. At the Inquest Dr. Dowle frequently broke down under his grief. He declared that his daughter's night robe had been burned from her body and that vaseline had been rubbed on her by Deacon Spelcher's orders. Spelcher has a license to practice medicine. He declared that during the afternoon the patient's- condi tion had "become very serious, and that Dr. Campbell, a medical man, had been sent for to consult with Dr. Spelcher. Campbell, the witness said, had ald there was little hope. Dowle declared that when Esther regained consciousness she asked him to pray for her. At no time, he said, had she asked for medical attendance. The Jury then returned a verdict that death was due to burns ac cidentally received. .Insurance Company Loses. ST. LOUIS. May 15. In the United States District Court today. Judge Adams rendered a verdict In favor of Mrs. Mar garet Roth, who sued for the payment of a $10,000 life Insurance policy held by her husbandi Adam Roth, a wholesale grocer, In the Mutual Reserve Life Association of New York. The verdict included costs. A short time prior to his death Mr. Roth refused to pay an assessment on the pol icy, and this act, the company claimed, made the policy Invalid. Judge Adams said: "Mr. Roth had paid many assessments on his policy, and the net value paid was sufficient to carry, after this lapse, for a period extending to the time of hls death. Therefore, the fact that he failed to pay one assessment constituted no defense." Evangelists' Private Car. CHICAGO. May 15. An elaborately ecalpped private car Is to carry two evangelists through the Western states this Summer. The car will be built by a Chicago company at a cost of $7000, and the evangelists who will occupy It are Horace Gelger and the Rev. H. M. Wharton, of Philadelphia. Besides an observation-room, the car will contain bed rooms, bathrdoms and a.4e!tchen. Each of the evangelists will have a private of fice. The trip will be conducted under the auspices of the National Evangelical So ciety. The car will be paid for by Mrs. Mary S. Gelger, of Philadelphia, mother of Evangelist Gelger. 0 ' Hat less Women in Church. NEW YORK, May 15.

"A man living on a farm near here came In a short time ago completely doubled up with rheumatism. I handed him a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and told him to use it freely, and if not satisfied after using it he need not pay a cent for it," tays C. P. Rayder, or Pattens Mills, N. Y. "A few days later he walked Into the stpre as straight as a string and handed me a dollar, saying: "Give me another battle of Chamberlain's Fain Balm. I want It in the house all the Um for it cured sm." For ! by (01 druggists. MAY 17 THEIR BIG 'DAY NORWEGIANS WILL HOLD A CELE BRATION. Eighty-Eighth Anniversary of Their Independence "Why They Ob serve It. As the Norwegians of Portland, pn Sat urday, May 17, under the auspices of the Norwegian Double- Quartette, will com memorate the SSth anniversary, of the in dependence .pf Norway, it will probably be of Interest to know why they celebrate this memorable day. First, a word to those who may say, of what Importance Is this day to us In this country? I may ask of what importance are days of other nations? Germans hav0 their day; the French theirs, and we have been so used to It, that we would think something was wrong If we did not. on the 17th of March, see people wearing the green. I wish to be able to show that the Norwegians have a day of historic Importance a day of which they can be justly proud. As an American, wherever he may go, never can forget the 4th of July, so is the 17th of May always dear to a Norwegian1. Only those whose history is full of glorious victories for freedom can fully appreciate the liberty that they enjoy In this country. Norway and 3weden were united for t,he first time under Magnus Erickson, in 1340.. The union came about in this way: Magnus' grandfather was Haakon Mag nuson. King of Norway. His mother was Haakon's raughter, Ingeborg, who was married to the Swedish hertug, Erik. At the death of his grandfather he was heir to the throne of Norway, and was also by the Swedes chosen as their ruler. Magnus had two sons, Erik ahd Haakon. He appointed his son Erik as chief of state, or as a kind of vice-King In Sweden, and his other son, Haakon, to a similar position in Norway. 'Erik died In 1359. The Swedes soon after chose Albrekt. of Meklenburg, as their King. Thus ended the union between Norway and Sweden, and for many years war was the result. During one engagement the Swedes captured Magnus, and he had to give up all claim to the throne of Sweden. Magnus was drowned In 13S4. King Haakon, Magnus' second son, died in 13S0, and his son, Olov Haakonson, was then to succeed him to the throne. His mother was the daughter of the Danish King, Valdemar Otterdag, and when he died, in 1375. the Danes had already chosen him (Haakonson) as King. Norway and Denmark became thus united Under Olav, and this union lasted until 1814. Olav's reign was short. He died in 1387 IT years old. His mother, Margreta, ruled Norway and Denmark after his death. In the war between Norway and Denmark on one side, under Margreta, against Sweden, under Albrekt. of Meklenburg. on the other, Margreta came out the winner, and became thus the Queen of Sweden also. The Norwegians, who were used to having a man as their ruler, did not like her, and Margreta had to agree that her sister's daughter's son, Erik, of Pomern, be crowned as the King of Norway In Trondhjem. 13S9. A few years later he was elected King by the Swedes, .and was crowned at Kalmar, 1397. It was then agreed between representatives from the three kingdoms that they in the future should have one king In common; but that each country should be governed by Its own laws. Contrary to agreement; however, Denmark became the leading country, ipffices.of all kinds In Sweden and Norway were given to Danes, and they were a burden to the people. Tax ation was enormous, and especially heavy were taxes to pay for the war which Depmark had begun with Holsten about Slesvlg. and as this war only con cerned Denmark, It was enough to make tho people dissatisfied with their ruler. He finally had to leave hla kingdoms, and his nephew. Krlstoffer, of Bayern, was chosen King of the three countries. The people rebelled during the reign of his successor, Krlstlern L, King Hans and Krlstlern II., and when this last King, in the year 1320, in Stokholm. beheaded some of the most prominent Swcdest this government decided to withdraw from the union, and chose Gustav Erlkson "Vasa as King. After the great Northern war, as It is called 0709-1720). ended, Norway and Den mark had peace for SO years, when this happy time ended. England got news that Napoleon and the Czar of Russia at the conference at Tilsit, had agreed that the Norwegian Danish navy was to be given to France, who again would use It against England. The English sent ships to Denmark and demanded that the Norweglan-Dnnteh navy proceed to England. This was re fused, and the English bombarded Copen hagen, and took the Norwegian-Danish navy with them to England. Norway had about this time also a war with Sweden. Commerce in Norway was at a standstill. Money was worth noth ing. Nothing could be imported from any where, as the English cruisers blockaded every river of importance, and In 1812 times were so hard that bread was made of bark, front the trees. Denmark still took side with Napole on, and when the latter, in 1812. had made his unsuccessful march against Russia, demanded of the Russian Czar and the Swedish crown prince. Karl Jbhan, who now took part with England, that Fred rick "VI., King of Denmark, should cede Norway to Sweden. This he would not do. and Karl Johan then entered Holsten with his army and compelled Fredrlk to acknowledge the treaty of Kiel, which stated that Denmark was to cede Norway to Sweden, and Denmark was for this to have $1,500,000. The treaty ot Kiel was signed January 14. 1814. Fredrlk VI. then released me Nor wegians from their allegiance to him. and requested them to acknowledge the King of Sweden as their ruler. As we will see. they did riot choose to follow his advice. Who was this Karl Johan? A common soldier In the French army under Napo leon, who advanced him for bravery, so that he finally became field marshal of a division of Napoleon's Northesn army. He then turned a traitor to hlfl own country, France, and took part with Russia and England agalnrt Napol6on. The great powers of Europe chose him to be King of Sweden. As the people in Norway understooa that a separation from Denmark was Im minent, they chose as their King Chris tian August, of Augustenborg. He was Fredrlk VL's representative, or chief of state in Norway. When Carl XtlX, of Sweden, died without an heir, he was also by them chosen as their King. H lived only a few months afterward. I will quote a few lines from the Scandinavian, a Norwegian newspaper: "As we have seen, the Norwegians would not accept Karl Johan as their King, On the contrary, a constituent assembly was convoked, consisting of men cast in the same mould as the American patriots In 1776. They declared the country soerelgn and Independent, adopted a constitution and organized a government. That constitution has remained in force until this day. It was and still is the old est written constitution In the world, ex cept the organic laws adopted in this coun try previous to 1S14. They dared, though poverty stricken and forsaken, to defy the will of the great powers of Europe, leagued together in a: Infamous alliance for the suppression of freedom among men. They succeeded, despite overwhelm ing odds, in lighting and guarding the only torch of liberty in the old world, which for decades kept alive the hope of freedom's triumph in Europe daring a period of crushing oppression. The con stitution of Norway has outlived ail of its models except the American. It has never found favor with tyrants or their tools, but. like the structure of America, it has stood the test of time, and it is charac terized by publicists of the rank of Blunt schll as one of the most remarkable con stitutions ever framed by men." As King of Denmark, Fredrlk YI had to give up 11 claim to Norway. Karl Johan thought that he had a right to it, but the Norwegians would not submit tamely to be bought and sold like cattle. "They would not recognize the treaty of Kiel. As King Fredrlk had released them from the allegiance to him without any right, they would now govern themselves. The Swedish crown prince, Bernadotte. tried then, by force of arms, to enter Norway. Norway's best part of the army was at that time In Denmark, but they met him with what they had. Only two serious engagements took place, but ln both Instances the advantages were with the Norwegians. The crown prince Informed the govern ment at Stokholm that he could not conquer Norway with the troops at his disposal, and as Sweden was unable, on account of the great war on the Conti nent, to furnish the large reinforcements and many supplies demanded by Barna dotte. he was anxious for peace. He proposed an armistice, which was accept ed, and before It terminated an agreement for a union between Norway and Sweden was reached. xWhen Bernadotte saw that he could do nothing by force of arms, he readily and voluntarily accepted the Eldsvold consti tution at the convention at Moos, although It was repugnant to his political views, and radically different from the laws of Sweden then In force. This union between Norway and Sweden was accomplished, not by force of arms, but by the free will of the contracting parties. Article 1 of the Constitution of Norway reads: "Norway Is a free, inde pendent. Indivisible and Inalienable sov ereignty united with (not under) Sweden under a common King." The united kingdoms have nothing In common except the King and war and peace, nor do they form one kingdom in respect to their for eign relations, though they are repre sented by a common diplomacy. In re cent years they have pursued different tariff policies and have concluded sepa rate commercial treaties with foreign countries. These men who made the constitution of Norway assembled at Eidvbld (about 33 miles north of Christiana April 10, 1814, and their great work was finished May 17, the same year. One incident to show the kind of patriotism of the people at that time: Prof. Georg "Sverdrap. one of those great men who framed the con stitution, on his way up to Eldsvold, was asked by the man who drove his buggy: "Are you one of those who are going up to Eldsvold?" Sverdrup answered "yes." Then the driver said: "Whatever you do, do not give your vote in favor of being sold. Before It comes to that we will all leave our wives and children at home and go to the front and figKt, but what ever you do, remember that God Is with you." King Fredrlk VI.'s cousin. Prince Christian Fredrlk, during the assembly at. Eldsvold. wanted them to elect him king, and this same Sverdrup remembered the driver's words to him. and he, full of patriotism, answered the prince that to the throne of Norway has your majesty no more right than I. The spirit of independence is as strong today as It was then. It is a country as democratic as that of America, and among all progressive nations. Norway has now taken the lead in recognizing the rights of women. Among the rocks of Northland, in the wonderful light of those northern skies, stands the cradle of Norse and Anglo Saxon liberty and law. F. A. TOMTE. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marriage License.
