Newspaper Page Text12 THE HORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY. "AUGUST 21, 1902. UHGLE SAM TO AOT Federal Law Against Crimp ing May Be Invoked. COMPLAINT TO WASHINGTON District Attorney Hall Ordered to Do Whnt May Be Done Bat Cnp tulu of the Elba Is Loath to Proceed. It Is up to the owners and captain of the steamship Elba to proceed against the hoarding-house runners -who are accused of having caused desertion cf their sailors; and it looks as if they -would o nothing. They do not "want to undertake expensive litigation, which Involve detention of the Elba In port and would cause financial loss. Tho au thorities at "Washington havo been asked to enforce the law against crimp ing, and have promised to do all in tholr power. Special advices from Washington are to the effect that the United States will take a hand In the suppression of crimping on the Pacific Coast. The evJl is as bad at San Francisco and Puget Sound as at Portland, so that invidious comparisons cannot be made with this city. At the present low . freight rates, the evil Is an especially heavy burden on commerce. At Portland, sailors cost $S5 and $S0 each. This charge Is an open vio lation of the law, but there seems no way to get out of paying It, and it is paid. The reason for the advance, from $55, the rate which prevailed for a long time, is, according io the admission of the boarding-house runners, that the action of the shipowners in trying to encourage competition- among them has resulted In" a boarding-house combination, which contains more men than were in the business before. These extra men have to have money, and, in order to provide it for them, rates have had to go up. Yesterday the English, French and German Embassies complained to the State Department at "Washington. As a re suit, the State; Department has directed the Federal attorneys in Oregon, Califor nia and Washington to see that the "ederal law is strictly enforced. The Federal la,w does not, however, completely cover the trouble. But the Federal and Oregon state laws jointly do cover It, and if inforced together will reach the evil. United States District Attorney Hall and State District At torney Chamberlain stand ready to prose cute vigorously any cases brought before them. But there's the rub. No com plaints have been liled in th'e Elba, the latest crimping case, and it does not seem as If any would be. The reason is that the owners are not willing to meet the loss which would be sustained in holding the steamship here by taking the case Into the courts. On Monday, Captain Bruhn appeared before United States District Attorney Hall. Mr. Hall explained to him that the case was prop erly one for the state authorities be cause the state law has very comprehen sive provisions against enticing or per suading sailors away from ships, where as the Federal law relates only to the amount of money which boarding-house runners and others may collect for board and clothing furnished to sailors. The limit of such collection is one month's wages of the sailor, and $10 In fees for "professional services rendered" In pro curing seamen. The law regards the run ner as a creditor pf the sailor and the money paid by ships up to the amount of one month's wages as liquidation of debt for board or clothing, which may be contracted prior to engagement. As the wages of a sailor are about $20 a month, and legal fees are limited to $10, it is plain that runners are charging for more than the law allows, when they charge $S5 and ?90 a man. "Blood money" is therefore at present at the handsome figure of about $55 or $C0. Tho boarding-house men reply that sailors are worth the price charged just n,ow, because of the difficulty in getting them. They say that ceamen are scarce, owing to the hand some inducements offered to them on shore. Laborers command high wages here and their mode of life is far less arduous and far more inviting than on shipboard. The boarding-house men de clare they are wronged when they are blamed for the many desertions, because the men cannot be held on board when thc-y see -the easrer life they can lead on shore .'by deserting. German Consul Lohan docs not reveal his plans of action against the runners. He has said that the matter is in the hands of the United States authorities. Eut no complaints have been filed before the local United States authorities, so that no action is under way here. Neith er has any complaint been lodged with the State District Attorney, although that official Invites the captain of the Elba to come forward and tell his trou bles. The captain does not desire a long sojourn here and refuses to "squeal." Consul Lohan's determination would lead to. the natural inference that he has brought the Elba matter up to the State Department at Washington through the German Embassy. If he has done so, the joint protest from the French, German and English Embassies will have further grounds for support. TWO CARGOES OF LUMBER. Harvest Home for China, John A. for California'.

PENITENTIARY OUTBREAK Attempted Escape of Three Ken tucky Convicts. FRANKFORT. Aug. 20. The officials of Frankfort were thrown Into a state of J wild excitement today by a riot in the prison, started by an attempt of three desperate murderers Lafayette Brooks, Wallace Bishop and T. Mulligan to gain their liberty. Before the riot, which be gan at 6 o'clock and lasted until after 10. was quelled and the mutinous convicts captured. Bishop was fatally wounded. Mulligan was shot in the shoulder, and a negro convict, Albert Ransome, of Louisville, whom the desperadoes had pressed into service, was hit by a rlile ball. The rioting started while Brooks, Mulli gan and Bishop were coming out of 'the dining-room to answer a hospital call. Sudr decly" one of the convicts drew a revolver and compelled Guard A. P. GUI to give up his arms. Guard F. F. Hurst, who rushed to Gill's assistance, was also cap tured by the convicts. Captain Madlgan, acting warden, then ruehed forward, fir ing on the bunch, but no one was hit. The convicts then began running across the yard to the entrance to the reed de partment of the chair factory, where they captured Charles Willis, a foreman. They covered him with their pistols and placing him between them and the guards, re treated to the rocker department In the chair factory, whence they could com mand a good view of the entire yard. At a window they stood Willis, and Brooks, with a revolver In his hand, took a posi tion just beside the captive, resting the muzzle of the weapon on Willis' shoul der. The convicts then defied Warden Llllard to attempt to capture them, shout ing that the would kill the foreman at the first move made against them. By thl3 time several hundred citizens, many of them heavily armed, had gath ered at the prison gates, but the warden denied admission to all. He Issued orders for all departments to close and for all the prisoners to be returned at once to their cells. He then placed a guard of CO men around the building In which the desperadoes and barricaded themselves, and called on them to surrender. The convicts' only reply- was a taunt. For the protection of Foreman Willis, the warden then determined to starve the desperadoes Into submission. In about half an hour, a note was dropped from .the window of the room where the con victs had taken refuge, asking Warden Llllard and Deputy Warden Madigan to come up under a flag of truce and deal with them. This demand was ignored. Shbrtly after this, James Buckley, a for mer city workhouse-keeper, and Morgan Brewer, a former guard at the peniten tiary, climbed to the roof of a residence overlooking the building in which the convicts had taken refuge, and fired sev eral shots Into the room where the des peradoes were entrenched. They were com pelled to desist, however, as Foreman Willis was forced to the window In the line of fire. He called to them to stop shooting and Informed them that a negro convict whom the desperadoes had forced Into service had been shot In the shoulder. At 9 o'clock a note was dropped from the convicts' window, offering to surren der If the men were insured safe delivery to the cellhouse. This request was also ignored. The convicts asked that Captain Llllard and Captain Madlgan come In per son to escort them, bat It was believed that this was merely a ruse to kill the officials. Later another letter was brought from the desperadoes by Frank Brooks, of Bond County. The note stated that If the warden would come to the head of the steps leading to the reed department, the convicts would eurrnder. first sending their weapon3 down by Frank Brooks. Warden Llllard appeared to accept the terms of this note, and as a matter of precaution, a half dozen guards were placed in the hospital, overlooking the reed department. Warden Llllard, accom panled by eight men, then proceeded to the foot of the stairway. Suddenly the crack of a Winchester was heard, show lng that the note was but a ruse. The prisoners had emerged, from the reed room, as they had promised, with hands up, but as they proceeded down the c-talrway Bishop dropped his hands to his side as if to draw a weapon. He had hardly made the motion when one of the warden's party fired, the bullet striking Bishop In the breast, innlctlnc a fatal wound. When Bishop fell. Mulligan and Brooks 6ank to their knees, begging the warden to save their lives. By 10:30 the two desperadoes, heavily shackled and ac companied by 10 men with drawn pistol, were placed in their cells and quiet had been restored. After the men nad been securely locked up, it was discovered that Mulligan had been wounded in .the shoulder, though he was not seriously hurt. Later developments show that Ran some. the negro who was shot, was not pressed Into service by the desperadoes. but had joined them after they entered the rocker department. Brooks, Bishop and Mulligan were among the most desperate of the 1500 con victs confined here. All are young men. A year ago Bishop and Mulligan declared they would not work and defied the war don. It took several weeks' punishment and confinement to subduo them. Wallace Bishop, alias Burns, died to night. At his request. Father Major, of the Catholic church, was sent for and baptized him shortly before he died. Strike in Havana. NEW YORK. Aug. 20.
