MOVE-TO
ABOLISH
HOUSE OF LORDS
People's League Securing Sig
natures to Petition to the
British Parliament.
LABOR MEMBERS AIDING
Turning Down of the Aliens Bill in
the "Hereditary Chamber" Has
Created Intense Indignation
Among AVorking Classes, i
PETITION TO1 ABOLISH HOUSE OF
LORDS.
That there Is In Parliament a
house 'tit' ' Irresponsible' lawmakers,
known as Peers.
That the members of said house' are
mostly hereditary, succeeding each
other by pedigree, or mere animal
succession, . . . . .
That such qualification for serious
business of legislation renders Eng
lishmen ridiculous in the eyes of ra
tional persons all over the world.
That the said anomalous house has
for centuries oppressed the people of
f these Islands by the framing of -bad
L laws and the rejection or mutilation
i of such laws as have been of the
9 clearest public utility.
J That during the happy period of
T the Commonwealth your honorable
t body wisely passed an act abolishing
ft hereditary legislators as "useless and
5 dangerous,'? and that the nation In
consequence reaped the . greatest
moral and material advantages, at
home and abroad.
May rt; therefore, please your honor
able house to revive said statute of
abolition, permitting such Peers as
the people, in their wisdom, may duly
elect to serve them In Parliament to
tuke their seats In your honorable
house. ' '
(Special Cable to the Central News and The
Oregontan.)
LONDON, June 17. "The House of
Lords must be abolished." That is the
latest cry among the people. In labor
circles for several weeks there has been
outspoken anger and much gnashing of
teeth against the Lords for turning down
the aliens bill.
Now the old People's League has been
revived and already numbers some tens
of thousands In all parts of the country.
Many members of Parliament on the
Liberal side are openly helping the
league, and all the labor members and
labor leaders are working hand and glove
with It.
League Has But One Aim.
The on and only aim of the league is
to secure the abolishment of the House
of Lords as at present constituted. The
petition put in circulation systematically
by the league Is receiving thousands of
signatures dally in London, Ireland and
Scotland.
The new league will undoubtedly make
Itself felt, and In the Fall or certainly
the Spring of next year the movement
promises to be ripe. Should there, by any
chance, be a fall of government and a
general election within the next year or
two it would not be surprising to find the
abolishment of the House of Lords the
battle cry of the labor party and one on
which It might have a measure of success.
. Quotes History in Arraignment.
Morrison Davidson, the well-known
Radical writer and orator and labor
leader, Is the honorary secretary of the
People's Lea ce. He visited the United
States some years ago to study the labor
question and is well known to the Labor
and Socialist parties of America. He dis
cusses the question as follows:
'"What, then." asked Cromwell of Pym,
"Is the great root of all our grievances?"
"The aristrocracy," said Pym. "Give us
their true history, and you unriddle the
ecret of every National embarrassment."
Surely truer oracle than this never
passed the Hps of British statesmen.
"For more than eight centuries of dis
honor the story of our old nobility has
been one of all but uninterrupted, and,
alas, generally successful crime. It di
vides itself naturally into four well-
marked epochs.
Projenitors a Gang of Robbers.
In the first of these (1066-1485) the era
of Norman and Platagenet royalty they
were simply a gang of merciless thieves
and bandits who, it is calculated. In the
reign of the conqueror and his Immediate
successors, cut off by famine and the
sword a full third of the English race!
In the second (HS5-16SS), or Tudor-Stuart
period, perfect prodigies of cowardice,
lying, forgery, plotting, poisoning, and all
of the meaner and meanest human vices.
In the third epoch (16S8-1832) from the
"glorious revolution" to the first reform
bill they were covertly omnipotent over
" both orown and commons, and brought
the country within 24 hours of a bloody
revolution by their ruinous policy at home
and abroad.
Sunk to. "Temporary. Rejectors?'
Their fourth era (1832-1906) from the re
form act. to the present hour has been
thus characterized by the discriminating
Bageehot: "The House of Lords has
ceased to be one of latent directors, and
has become one of temporary rejectors
and palpable alterers."
Many and audacious have, indeed, been
their Lordships' performances as vetoists
and mutilators, but the insolence of their
latest . achievement In that line stands
unsurpassed and unsurpassable. The
aliens act amendment bill had the unique
distinction of being passed by a unani
mous House of Commons. Consequently
its summary Rejection is not merely an
affront to the Liberal Government (which
one - could have understood), but is an
open challenge to the entire representa
tive chamber.- and, - through It,, to the
Nation at large.
What Was Done Once.
What, then, is to be done? That is a
query that may be variously answered;
but what has been done, before now, by
a Justly irate House of Commons, in
respect of the House of Landlords, can
not be too frequently recalled. The Long
Parliament resolved, .with decisive brev
ity, "that a House of Peers in Parlia
ment Is useless and dangerous, and ought
to be abolished";' and abolished it was
forthwith.
For . nine years, 'In the very heyday
of her greatness from January 6. 1649,
to January 20, 1658 England was without
a second chamber. Verily, "there were
giants in those days," but the breed
seems well nigh extinct.
The House of Lords has nothing now
to fear but such an ungovernable tor
rent of public indignation as has but rare
ly swept over this country. Its alliance
with capital is closer than ever before.
Capital is no longer patronize) it is em
braced and courted. To the power of
the land has been added the power of
the purse; the one props up the other,
and the united forces present an almost
impregnable front.
Gladstone's Craze for Peers.
The hereditary chamber would long ago
have perished of sterility, rotted out,
but our wise "sovereigns and statesmen"
will have none of the euthanasia cure.
They go on creating ever fresh nuisances.
The late lamented Gladstone had a per
fect craze for making "Liberal" peers
who were no so&ner "made" than they
Incontinently went to the bad.
In conclusion let me quote a stanza of
that immortal poem of Charles Algernon
Swinburne:
Clear the way. my lords and lackeys!
You have had your day;
Here you have 'your answer
England's Tea against your Nay.
Long enough your House has held you;
Out and clear the way!

BANQUET GIVEN ELLEN TERRY
Chief Speech of Eulogy Is Made by
Winston Churchill.
LONDON, June 17. A dinner was given
at the Hotel Cecil tonight in honor of
Ellen Terry. The 200 guests included per
sons prominent in the theatrical world.
Winston Churchill, during the course of
a brilliant eulogy of Muss Terry's genius,
said she considered it a great loss that
Great Britain had no national theater.
Miss Terry replied to Mr. Churchill's
remarks and to other speeches of homage,
and after thanking all persons concerned
in the testimonial to her, both in Europe
and America, said she believed the over
whelming testimony of affection and hom
age such as she had received was .due
greatly to the Intention of the public to
honor Sir Henry Irving and herself to
gether. A message from Joseph H. Choate wa
read, which expressed best wishes on be
half of America, It was announced that
the total sum realized for the Terry
Jubilee fund, including the receipts from
the benefit performance at Drury Lane
Theater and subscriptions raised in Amer
ica, amount to $43,920.
Pence Palace Plans Rejected.
LONDON. June 18. The Daily Tele
graph's correspondent at The. Hague says
he understands that the directors of the
Carnegie fund have resolved 'that none
of the plans submitted for the Palace of
Peace Is suitable, and that a new compe
tition will be instituted among the com
petitors. Persian Guards Driven Back.
TIFLIS, June 1". Advices received from
Persia are to the effect that "Turkish
troops continue the movement for occu
pation of Persian territory and are now
but six hours' march rom the city of
Urumiah. They have occupied the Persian
village of Zelo, from which the Persian
guard was driven.
E
COLONEL GREENE SAYS FEDE
RATION CAUSED TROUBLE.
Plot Formed to Dynamite Bank at
Cananea, and Start Revolution
Against President Diaz.
WASHINGTON. June 17. In a letter
filed with the State Department and dated
at Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, June 11, W.
C. Greene, president of the copper com
pany at whose mines in Cananea the
rioting occurred early this month, charges
that agitators from the Western Federa
tion of Miners had been through thp mines
Inciting the Mexicans, and tells 'how he
was warned of a plot fo dynamite the
bank and to inaugurate a revolution
against President Diaz. He reviews de
tails already published, and says, among
other things:
"On the night of May 31 I was informed
by a man working in the Cobre Grande
that a Mexican working there had told
him that trouble was going to start in
Cananea the morning of June 1 at 5
o'clock; that a Socialist club had' held
three meetinge at midnight the night of
May 30, at which a large number of agi
tators of socialistio tendencies were pres
ent; that agitators of the Western Fed
eration had been through the mines in
citing the Mexicans and that they had
been furnishing money for the Socialistic
club that had been established at Cana
nea. He also gave us a couple of copies
of a revolutionary circular that had been
widely distributed, together with a num
ber of other details.
"While it looked ridiculous to me that
a thing of that kind could be done, their
programme included dynamiting the bank,
where it was reported we had 11,000,000;
breaking open the stores and getting fire
arms and ammunition, and with them
starting a revolution against the Diaz
government.
"I soon after saw a Mexican in whom
I had confidence, and upon asking I found
that he had heard the same rumors, he
giving the further detail that agitators
had stolen a few nights before a few
boxes of powder, which I know to be the
truth."
Mr. Greene adds that all the Federa
tion agitators were ordered out of town,
and "I think there are about 87 of the
agitators (Mexicans) now in jail; that
many of them, who had previously taken
part in labor troubles, were deported
from Mexico and Southern California,
and that all of the revolutionary club
that stirred up the feeling escaped across
the line the first night."
He says there will be a permanent or
ganization of several hundred men kept
there; that complaints of murder have
been made against a number of employee
as well as himself, but the authorities
have taken the ground that the employes
acted in the discharge of their duties1.
He estimates that "about o Mexicans
were killed for each white man."
General Counsel of Woodmen.
DENVER. June 17. C. M. Campbell, a
well-known lawyer, once general counsel
to the Woodmen of the World, Pacific
Jurisdiction, died at St. Joseph's Hos
pital today from cranial hemorrhage. He
was injured in a fall from an electric
car a little more than a week ago while
returning from the laying of the corner
stone of the temple being constructed by
the local Shriner. ' Mr. Campbell was
born 45 years ago in Cincinnati; A widow
survives him.
PLUMS ME FEW
ON PQLITIGALTREE
Pressure to Be Brought on
Legislature to Deprive Gov
ernor of Appointments.
DEMOCRATS NOW IN OFFICE
Creation of Board With Republican
Majority Would Give Opportunity
to Turn Members of Minor
ity. Out Into the Cold.
SALEM, Or., June 17. (Special.) The
outlook for those who desire political
appointment in return for political ac
tivity in the primary and general elec
tion campaigns of 1906 Is not very
promising. The plum trees are few and
high and the fruit does not look as
though it Would easily drop. As remarked
by a local politician a few days ago, if
the men who were elected June 4 pay

their political debts with appointments,
there are likely to be a great many debts
unpaid. There are a few. plums that can
be shaken off, but not many of them are
large or juicy.
There is small opportunity, for exam
ple, for desirable appointments at the
state institutions at Salem. In the first
place, the Democratic Governor was re
elected, and this deprives the Repub
licans of the pleasure of snatching the
places that have been filled by Demo
crats for the past four years. C. W.
James will continue as superintendent of
the penitentiary, W. E. Finzer will hold
command over the Oregon National
Guard, W. W. Elder will continue as
commander of the Oregon Soldiers' Home
and Albert Tozler will wield the measur
ing stick in the office of the printing ex
oert. Yes. and Oswald West will continue to J
perform the auties oi esiaie uino abehi,
selling state farms, hunting up base for
lieu land selections and running down
violators of the state land laws. The
whole penitentiary force will likely be
retained except as vacancies may occur
by discharge for one cause or another.
May Lose Appointive Power.
That Is. these positions will be retained
by Democrats unless the next Legisla
ture, In its great wisdom, thinks best to
enact a few laws that will deprive the
Governor of the. exclusive appointing
power and place the control of the ap
pointments mentioned in the hands of a
board composed of a Republican major
ity. This may be done.
The Governor has thought it possible
and will not be surprised much if the
Legislature takes Buch action. But if
the course of the last two Legislatures
is any criterion by which to predict the
action of the next, there will be no such
change made. The last two Legislatures
not only left the Governor with all his
appointing power, but when new offices
were to be filled he was given the au
thority to make the appointments. The
Republican Legislature gave the Gov
ernor everything he asked for, and, in
fact, was more liberal with him than a
Legislature has commonly been with a
Republican Governor.
Board May Be Given Control.
But there will probably be strong pres
sure brought to bear upon the next Legis
lature to induce it to enact laws which
shall take away from the Governor the
exclusive control of the prison and place
that institution in the hands of a board.
There are many good Republicans who
would like an office, and ways and means
must be found, they think.
The penitentiary is a tree that holds
quite a number of plums, though none
of them are particularly desirable. The
offices pay reasonable salaries, but no
more. There are a superintendent, two
wardens, a Vookkeeper, a farmer, a phy
sician and some 15 or 20 guards.
In political circles it ig quite generally
believed that there will be few chances
in important places at the other state
Institutions, which are under the control
of a board composed of the Governor,
Secretary of State and State Treasurer. .
Calbreath Feels Secure in Place.
Superintendent Calbreath. of the In
sane asylum, is counted safe in his posi
tion because he was a supporter of the
Republican candidates who won and also
because his administration has been satis
factory. The positions of the physicians
at the asylum have never been used for
paying political debts and will not be now.
There are numerous minor places at the
asylum, however, that can be filled with
the political friends of Secretary of State
F. W. Benson and State Treasurer Steel,
and these are plums that will probably
be shaken into the waiting grasp of the
faithful and effective.
Public sentiment has been running
rather strongly against changes at the
reform school, mute school and blind
school, for political purposes, and there
is a disposition to take these institutions
out of politics as much as possible. It
is quite probable, therefore, that any
changes in the heads of these institutions
will be made only for other than political
reasons, but there are a few minor posi
tions that will be open to those who want
them and can command the political in
fluence necessary to throw out the pres
ent Incumbents.
The office of master fish warden is one
that many aspirants will be likely, to seek,
and Benson and Steel will undoubtedly
find that they have many friends who
know all about fish and fry and hatch
eries. It has been reported that the
present board has thought of making a
change, but inquiry brings a denial with
the positive assertion that Van Dusen's
administration has been satisfactory and
that any change, it at all. Will be by
the new board.
Brown Has Friends at Court.
The office of clerk of the State Land
Board is one within the power ofthe
new board to fill, and if Benson and
Steel wish they can reward a friend by
creating a vacancy In that office and then
filling it. But it is known that G. G.
Brown was an earnest supporter of Steel
and, in results, a contributor to the suc
cess of Benson, so he is believed by his
friends to be reasonably safe In ; his
position. -
In this connection It may be- said that
Governor Chamberlain, who is a member
of all the boards, is an ardent advocate
of the retention of Brown, and of all
other Republican office-holders under the
board who have given efficient service.
It is known that he will pursue a stand
pat policy and, whatever Benson and Steel
may propose, he will stand firm for the
retention of present incumbents all the
way up anu down the line. He has no
choice between Rcpullcan8H and if
changes are made by the board it will be
by the agreement of the two Republican
members.
Disagreement Is Governor's Chance.
It Is altogether probable that Benson
and Steel will agree upon all their ap
pointments, for if they should disagree
there would be a tie and the Democratio
Governor would be permitted to cast the
deciding vote. They have nothing to
gain but much to lose by disagreement,
and it may safely be assumed that in
the parceling out of political rewards
they will act together.
Both toe Secretary of State and State
Treasurer have a number of appointments
to make in their own offices. There are
five positions, in the secretary's office and
two in the treasury department, not
counting stenographers. It is generally
believed that one, and perhaps two. of
the present clerks in the office of the
Secretary of State will be retained, but
probably no more than that. The reten
tion of one of the present clerks is prob
able in the treasury department.

TOOK CITY MONEY AVITH HIM
Warrant Is Out for Jesse Bollon, ex
Collector for Sumpter.
BAKER CITY, Or., June 17, (Special).
Jesse Bollan, employed by the city of
Sumpter as special collector on some
street work, has eloped with funds be
longing to the city and a warrant is now
out for his arrest. It is believed Bollan
fled to Portland.
Bollan came to Sumpter about three
months ago and being a good fellow he
was put in as special collector. There
was considerable money due the city
on street improvements and assessments
and this was what Bollan was to collect.
He collected a great deal of money and
some of it he turned over to the city
but near the close of his employment he
left without settling in full.
Bollan's bondsmen will be required to
pay about J1S0.
MET WITH ft VOLLEY
Unioa Sailors .Attempt to
Board Bay City Schooner.
ONE KILLED; THREE HURT
Volunteers on Launch Expected to
Induce the Nonunion Crew on
National City, About to Leave,
to' Desert the Vessel.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. As a re
sult of the lockout and trouble existing
between the shipowners and union sail
ors in this port, one union sailor was
shot and killed and three were wounded
tonight. The dead:
ANDREW KELLKER.
The injured; John Peterson. Andrew Han
sen and Holgar Borgesen.
The shooting occurred when a launch
occupied by about 15 union sailors was
fired on from the Schooner National City
as- it lay near the Union Iron Works.
According to the men who were in the
launch several volleys were fired at them
CHURCH AND RECTORY
without warning when they were within
a few feet of the schooner.
It is said that it was the Intention of
the union sailors to make an attempt to
have the nonunion crew of the National
City desert the vessel, which was
scheduled to sail tomorrow. As a part
of the plan to carry overtures to the non
union men, a launch was engaged and
filled with volunteers from the Sailors'
Union.. The trip was made with the ut
most secrecy, but it is evident that the
men on the National City were expect
ing a visit.
As the launch came up to the National
City, a rifle was thrust over the side of
the schooner and a shot rang out, fol
lowed by the cry. "Now give it to them
boys." Several volleys were then fired
on the launch in rapid succession and
the terrified union men Immediately
sought the shelter of the small cabin of
the launch..
As soon as orders could be given to
the engineer of the launch he turned
about and sped his boat away from, the
scene as rapidly as possible. A run of
nearly two miles was taken to the harbor
emergency hospital, where the men who
had been shot were quickly lifted from
the boat by their friends.
" At the hospital it was found that An
drew Kellner had been almost immediate
ly killed. Two bullets had entered his
chest and one of them had evidently
penetrated his heart. Hio remains were
taken to the morgue. All the wounded
men will recover and will be removed
tomorrow to the marine hospital. John
Peterson sustained a flesh wound on the
right thigh. A bullet entered the muscles
of Andrew Hansen's left leg, and Holgar
Borgesen was wounded in the left thigh,
the bullet passing through the flesh.
No arrests have been made as the
schooner at once moved out into the bay.
POLITICS IN CHEHALI S
PLENTY OF TIMBER FOR STATE
SENATORSHIP.
E. B. Benn Would Take This Place
and Also Has His Eye on
Aberdeen Postmastership.
ABERDEEN. Wash., June 17. (Special.)
Politics In Chehalis County is beginning
to bo stirred up. The county convention
is a month away and there is consder
able activity among the warhorses of the
party and the chronic office-seeker. The
State Senatorial fight will be one of the
interesting features of the campaign from
now on. The present incumbent is J. R.
McDonald, of Elma,. but he is to have
competitors in plenty if he decides to
run again, and it is understood that he
ill.
County Commissioner Davis, of Hoqui
am, is one of the most prominent men
mentioned. By reason of his splendid
financial management of the county's
money for several years he stands well
with a large percentage of the voters.
Alexander Poison, a big lumber man big
both in avoirdupois and business opera
tionsin Hoquiam, also is spoken of fa
vorably, while E. B. Benn, who has rep
resented Chehalis County in the lower
House of the State Legislature, is also
said to be trimming hie sails for the po
sition. Then W. R. MacFarlane, a new
man in county politics, who carries on a
mill here and is president of the Chamber
of Commerce, is also talked of.
For the minor officers there will ba
plenty of 'timber when the time comes.
There is to be an active fight for Sheriff
between Edward Payette, one of the dep
uties at present; also R. J. Hlltz, of this
city, and others. The county-seat mat
ter may cut considerable figure in the
convention, but it is the plan of the orig
inal leaders in the movement to keep the
question out of the convention If possible,
so as not to handicap Aberdeen and Ho
quiam in Its .proposed removal of -the
Courthouse from Montesano.
The successor of Postmaster Campbell
Is also a question just now agitating the
political leaders'. Campbell's term ex
pires in July, and on account of Mr.
Campbell's apparent apathy in politics
the leaders are desirous for a change.

ihould be rated according to the studies
for which they have a liking and in
which they excel.
The marriage of hitherto recognuied
confirmed bachelors of Aberdeen a month
or so ago has resulted in a sort of matri
monial epidemic. The infection has been
stimulated also by the offer of a well
known wealthy bachelor to give a chair
of expensive design to every bachelor who
has reached a certain age when he takes
upon himself matrimonial burden. The
announcement of the chair-giving has
been followed by three marriages this
week of confirmed bachelors' and more are
rumored, so that the chair-giving single
man is threatening to start a chair fac
tory. -
This city has been interested the past
week mostly in the strike of the sailors.
Aberdeen is one of the strongest union
towns in the country, so that the sailors
are receiving a great deal of encourage
ment here. There has been no lawless
action, however, except a flurry on Mon
day night when a nonunion foreman was
taken oft the steamer Centralia.
On account of the reports that the po
lice force was in sympathy with the strik
ers there was almost a disruption of the
police force. A star chamber session of
the Council was held and all members of
the force decided upon for dismissal, but
later the Council changed its mind.
Although the Gray's Harbor team re

DEAD OF THE NORTHWEST
Mrs. Mary M. Johnson.
TILLAMOOK, Or., June 17. (Spe
