12 THE- MORKING . OREGOldAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1905. MEN ARE BEATEN Violence Used at Expo sition Gates. ASSAILANTS NOT KNOWM Strikers Declare They Are t Not Responsible. TWO - MEN ARE ASSAULTED Timekeeper and Staffhanger Beat en "by Men Who Afterwards - ' .Hide in Crowd Pickets ,Say They Are Innocent. .... t TVorkmen going Jnto the gates at the -Pair yesterday moraine were assaulted for the first time since the strike has ifoeen on there. One staffhanger about to return to -work on the Government build--lag after being out for a number of days was pretty badly beaten up and H. H. grouty, timekeeper on the Gox'ernment ffculldlng, was also assaulted. One or two -other minor disturbances took place, but no serious injuries rssulted. The first and natural supposition was that the rioting -was- done by pickets, but the identity of the assailants cannot be obtained. As soon as they had deliv ered themselves of their blows, they dis appeared Into the crowd of pickets. Labor leaders, however, deny that the assail ants were pickets. "My men. have all had orders to use axone but peaceable " means," said C. H Sram yesterday, after he had heard of Oho trouble. "They have been told to lake any amount of abuse and not to re turn a blow. I believe they have lived up to orders, and If I knew of any one dls tobeying. I Bhould see that he was re fenoved. We are Btanding for a principle. &nd we cannot afford to lose public sym pathy by using violence. I visited Chief St Police Hunt today and assured him iat the trouble at the Fair grounds this txnornlng was not caused by union pickets. (Blnoe this trouble has taken place I have jtold tho pickets to seize any man who (made a disturbance and hand him over to (the police, so that we could show that he was not one of our men." Plaeterera' Strike Off. The plasterers' strike was declared off yesterday morning, as predicted, and 12 sinlon men applied for work on the Gov imnient building. Their services were (accepted, but they demanded that they work only with union men, which was Sealed them. So they packed their kits &nd went off again. The seven non-union "men on the job remained alone to do tho ferork. The seven is to be increased to ten Zhls morning. The strikers, though not winning out, kre receiving sympathy from outside towns. The Seattle Building Trades Al liance at a meeting Sunday night framed resolutions supporting the building trades Portland In their fight. Local strike leaders believe that they will gain similar support irora ail parts or me their fight for a "closed-shop" Fair. There were ten policemen and a ser geant at the gate to the Fair last night to prevent trouble between strikers and men coming from work. They will be there this morning and will be sent regu larly as long as the strike b m. to pre vent any Ill-feeling ending In trouble. Laborers Indorse the Fight. SEATTLE, March 13,-The Building La borers' Association of Seattle tonight In dorsed the action of the Building Trades Assembly in joining forces with the Port land Trades Alliance in fighting the "open-shop" policy of the Lewis and Clark Exposition directors.

Tomorrow evening a statement of facts relative to the present controversy be tween the Fair directors and the Portland Trades Alliance will be submitted to all the labor unions of this city. HIS SKTJ1L BADLY ZRACTTJEED Young Man Thrown F;om Horse and Probably Fatally Injured. GRESHAM. Or.. March 13. (Special.) Emory Baker, a young man living with his parents at the end of the Base Line road, was probably fatally Injured at Terry Saturday afternoon. He was rid ing a horse when his hat blew off and he tried to reach it from the back of the animal. His foot slipped through the stirrup, throwing him to the ground, and the horse became unmanageable. The young man wa thrown violently against a mail-box post, suffering a fracture of the skull. The stirrup strap broke and he was found lying by the post uncon scious.

The Presi dent today sent to the Senate the nom ination of George E. Hartson, Postmaster at Mount Vernon. "Wash. Alleges Piggott Induced Him to Sign Will Cutting Off Relatives and Making Lawyer Executor of Estate Without Bonds. When Asa K. Richardson, a -well-to-do resident of the city. SI yeara of age. dios. C II. Piggott, the attorney -who built "Piggott's Castle," that famous landmark en the hill, is to preach his funeral sermon. That is. unless Richardson makes a new will as a result of the squabble he and his lawyer are in Just now. Rich ards6n alleges that Piggott coerced him Into making a will cutting off his sons, DaviJ and Daniel Richardson, -with only $5 each and placing all the propertv in Firfgott's control. By the terms of the will. Piggott "was to act as executor without bonds, to preach Richardson's funeral sermon, to receive a large sum for his cervices, and to have things his own -way generally. Richardson makes these charges in answer to a suit. filed against him in the State Circuit Court by Piggott for $5000 damages for slander. Piggott in his complaint recites that Richardson accused him of dishonesty and of swin dling nlm, thereby injuring his reputa tion as a lawyer. In his answer, Richardson declares that Piggott has no reptuation as a lawyer, but Is known as a dreamer, poet and philosopher. He Alleges Conspiracy. This answer also states that R. E. Mclntyre, a friend of Piggott, has been conspiring against Richardson, among other things offering John F. King, a friend of Richardson, $200 -if be per suaded Richardson to buy for $3000 a scow -which le declared -worthless. Rich ardson also says be was persuaded to lend Mclntyre J65 on no security. About that time he was boarding with Mclntyre. In a separate answer Richardson says that wnlle sick he sent King with a written order to Piggott for the will, but that the lawyer Ignored the order, came to his bedside and charged him So for the visit. On lots sold him for $7300 Piggott was to receive S100 commission. Rich ardson says, but the attorney withheld J2S0 Instead. Ever since It became known that he had money, Richardson says, schemes have been laid to get his -wealtn away from him. In his answer he states that at one time he held tho most implicit faith in Piggott and the McTntyres. George F. Brlce represents Richardson. at Union avenue and Russell streets. -A guy wire of the Portland Railway Com pany, which attaJ?ed to the service wire, was connected to a pole of the tele phone company as a matter of conveni ence. The employes of both companies had been doing some work at the point where the accident occurred, moving poles and wires, and the guy wire had become slackened and It sagged and touched the service -wire in such a manner that the circuit breaker used to prevent the guy wire from carrying the electric cur rent, was Ineffective. Gentxkow contends thai he touched the guy wire not know ing it was charged, and the shock of the current caused him to fall to the ground, a distance of 2S feet. His leg was broken In two. places and he was otherwise in jured. Judge Cleland granted a nonsuit on the ground of contributory negligence, hold ing that Gontzkow should have" looked up before he climbed the pole and seen that there was no danger. LINEMAN HELD RESPONSIBLE. Should Examine Wires Overhead Be fore Climbing Poles. A lineman is supposed to guard against danger before ollmbing a pole or while in the act of so doing, and to observe the condition of the wires overhead. Judge Cleland so held yesterday in granting a nonsuit in the action of H. Gentxkow against the Portland Railway Company for JS0CO damages. Gentxkow was In the employ of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company, and fell from a pole DOMESTIC TROUELE AIRED. Reiner Divorce Case Presents , Many New Features. The divorce case of F.

Was Identified With Founding of East Portland Government. Charles B. Bartol, a -xell known pioneer rerident of the East Side, died yesterday morning at his home. 10 East Sixth street. after lingering illness of several months' duration, at the age of 69 years. Heart trouble was the cause of his death. For xeveral weeks his suffering was very severe, Mr. Bartel was one of tne last of the men who founded the old city government of East Portland, nearly all of his companions having passed away. He served as Councilman several terms, and then was elected Street Commissioner, a place he filled for about eisht years. He came with his family to Portland In 1S63. and early became identified with the growth of East Portland. "With the organization of Phalanx Lodge, Knights of Pythias, he became a charter member. He is survived by his wife and 'the following children: , "Walter Bartel. Mrs. H. H. Holmes. Portland: Mrs. Fan nie Snelgetta of Pomeroy, Wash. The funeral will take place tomorrow. There will be a short service held in the under taking chapel of F. S. Dunning. East Sixth and Alder streets, at 1:20 P. M.. and at 2:20 P. M. the principal service will be conducted la St. Paul's German Lutheran Church, corner East Twelfth and Clinton streets. Rev. August Krause will conduct the service. Interment will bo In Lone Fir Cemetery. If Ordinance to Do So Passes Council, All Saloons May Be Compelled to Surrender Licenses and Make New Applications. Every saloon license in the city will be revoked March 31 if no other means of increasing the license fee to 5600 a year can.be found, and a majority of the Coun cil decides 3400 is not enough to exact from the liquor establishments. At the meeting of the liquor license committee of the Council yesterday af ternoon. A. K. Bentley announced that he would Introduce an ordinance Increasing the liquor license to WOO at the Council meeting tomorrow. "Can we raise It any time but at the first of the year? asked Chairman Zim merman. "Yes." said Mr. Bentley. "Sure we can," said Mr. Flegel. unless the ordinance Is defeated in the Council, which seems barely probable, the higher fee willbc exacted for the remain ing three quarters of the year, beginning April 1. As there are about 450 licenses In force now. the new ordinance would mean an addition to the city's revenue of ; S55.0CO. This ordinance will have nothing to do with the all-night ordinances, which have frequently bobbed up. as no claused allowing open doors after 1 A. M. Is Included. Has Pover to Increase. It is the general opinion of the officials that the Council has power to increase the saloon license at Its pleasure. Mayor "Wil liams said that if the Bentley ordinance passed the Council he would look up the legal phases of the question. He said. however, that it would be possible to re voke all licenses for the year, granted on a basis of $400. and require fresh appli cations undor the new ordinance. In a long list of license transfers granted by the committee there were t"o familiar names. Crls Simpson, formerly a well known horseman and proprietor of an up town saloon, received the license formerly held by L. and V. Richards, at 26S Davis street, a typical North End saloon in the Paris House block. "A. J. Robertson, to St. Clair & Green, 115 North Seventh street." means that "Dollar Bill" St. Clair, the uncrowned king of lower Everett street, has changed locations. Fred McCrosky asked a license at SOS Irving street. "McCrosky should'nt have a license for anything In this, town," said Mr. Flegel. The committee agreed with him. Mr. Flegel also protested because the license of J. R. Keith at 276 Taylor street, the corner of the old Bedford Cafe, had been signed by Messrs. Zimmerman, Bent ley and Sherrett informally and not at a meeting of the committee. The committee granted the following new licenses: E. A. Martin. 40 North Sixth: M. Marks, 331 North Twenty-fifth: T. D. McDonald. Twenty-fifth and Upshur: John Gieblech. 135 Fourth; Mount Hood Brewing Company. Sellwood; Jost & Wil son. 355 Morrison; Domenico Frisia, 254 Market.

An official of the company stated last night that the obstructions in the first barrier consisted of three pieces of lum ber 1x6 and 12 feet long. The company had a pile of such lumber near the track. to be used In building fences, and tne timbers came from this pile. Though It seems unreasonable to believe the high wind was strong enough to blow these timbers across the track, nothing defi nite has been learned as to who tho at tempted wreckers were, if it was an at tempt on the part of some person to wreck the train.
