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.

POLICE RAID OPIUM DENS

Second and Alder streets, a haul of six
prisoners was secured May McMullen,
William Bannon, M. H. Flynn. George
Andrews. Fred Lyons and Jim Fong. The
latter was charged with conducting an
opium don, and the others with frequent
ing an opium den.
The other raid took place at Third and
Pine streets, where Win Gin. G. H. Smith.
C. Foss, and F. L. Jones were arrested.
Win Gin was charged with conducting an
opium den, and the others with frequent
ing. An olfort was made by the police
to raid other places where It was sus
pected opium was smoked by white
people, but In the meantime the alarm
had spread that the police were on the
warpath after 3mokers, and various dens
were found deserted when search was
made. The various pipes, opium, etc.,
seized, made an Interesting pile. The
whites made the mistake in thinking that
they could smoke behind doors so strongly
barricaded that the police could not
enter in a hurry and that they could have
an opportunity to remove nil tmrw nf
.the opium lay-out.
F. L. Jones is the man who was re
cently arrosted charged with having
opium In his possession, and who was
defended by a lawyer who asserted that
Jones was compelled to take the opium
as a medicine to allay pain he suffered.
A physician's certificate was even Intro
duced showing that opium was prescribed
for Jones, but on cross examination it
was shown that the prescription had not
been filled at any regular drug store, and
that a Chinaman must have supplied
the drug.

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
