PUBLIC SHOWS SYMPATHY Many Attend Impromptu Gathering Where Men Give Their Side ' of Case and Advocate Tse of Diplomacy. An enthusiastic meeting of strikers and strike sympathizers was held In Merrill's Hall last night, aoout 400 men and boys attending, ft was an Im promptu affair and called with only a few hours' notice. Efforts to learn upon what authority the call had been issued, it was stated, ended in failure; but so long as a meeting was sched uled, no matter what the authority, it was thought best to proceed. At 8 o'clock the hall was dark. Fif teen minutes later it stood brilliantly lighted and with the gallery entirely filled. The speakers'-etarfd was placed In the center of the dancing pavilion, and at the request of many of the strikers. P. McDonald took charge of the meeting. All addresses were of a voluntary order. Mr. McDonald outlined the causes and present condition of the strike, and predicted that the movement is bound to end in success. He said he had heard complaint of the suddenness with which the strike was precipi tated, but that this was the one means by which it could be won. It is his belief, he said, that the public is with the strikers and will continue so. C. H. Gram said he too had heard com plaint of the suddenness of the strike but he attributed the failure of the strike in July to advance notices.. While not a streetcar man the speaker said he was a union man. and was heart and soul in accord . with the cause of the working man. . He advised against a sympathetic strike, saying such a thing would be to the interests of the corporations since It would sap the strikers of their means of support. So long as part of the work ing men are employed he pointed out, they can support their striking brothers. Mr. Gram said it is most inadvisable to resort to violence. The thing to do is to stand pat he declared, and to work to convert faltering carmen to the cause of unionism. J. Saunders, of Omaha, took an opposite view as regards a sympathetic Btrike. "If all union labor should go out we would not starve," he said. "We would not have time to starve. By noon to morrow the cars would be running." Mr. Saunders concluded with a declama tion on the rights of laboring men, and urged them to use their prerogative at the polls in their own interests. H. G. Parsons said that the streetcar men had taken a decided stand and that they should keep their position to the end. The public should be impressed with the fact that the streetcar man is out to win, he said. The speaker declared that he would much rather be classed as a thief than have to submit to such an unfair practice as being photographed aa a if employe. Conductor Moslher told of his grievances, and said the general attitude towards the streetcar man Is not sufficiently con siderate. He thought they should be treated with every consideration rather than as dogs. In conclusion he urged the men to stand together and win. Conductor Fisher, a new convert to the cause, advised working together and standing out for victory. There was then a popular demand for Fred Merrill, who responded briefly, stating that diplomacy is the weapon most desirable for use in the struggle. After three rousing cheers for the streetcar men adjournment was taken to the Drew hall, where a second meeting of streetcar men was held behind closed doors. - . " GROWING STRONGER, THET SAY Strikers Declare Half Dozen More Have Joined Ranks. Members of the strike committee last night gave out an official statement that yesterday 12 conductors and mo tormen were induced to leave their cars. They said that as far as they could ascertain none , of the men who went out on the strike have returned to the company. They expect that several dozen carmen will desert the company today and say they lyiow of six men at one .barn who have given their word that they will not take out their cars this morning. The strikers declase that consider ably more than half of the carmen in the employ of the company are out. They say that the strikers have shown no signs whatever of weakening and that every hour that they are out o.nIy adds to their determination . to win even if they have to go without em ployment the whole of the Winter. Yesterday the leaders expressed the hope that the company would attempt to -operate their cars at night. They say that every available man who has remained with the company is com pelled to work in the daytime, so there is none left for the night shift. Lack of men and not fear of violence, they .declare, is what causes the offi cials to call in the cars shortly after dark. .From the very inception of the strike the carmen have been willing to arbi trate. They would be only too willing to leave the settlement of the atrike to any committe of prominent and fair minded citizens, and declare "that the men would all abide by their decision. If the company should agree to arbi trate, air the men who left of their own will would immediately report for work. MAKING COLE SCAPEGOAT Accused Army Officer Says Others Were Guilty of Fraud. MANILA, Dec. 18. The courtmartlal of Quartermaster Captain Cola, accused of irregularities while in the Quarter master's department . here, was held at Fort Santiago today. Captain Cole was defended by Lieutenant R. W. Adams, who entered a plea in bar of trial and withdrew the accused officer's former waiver of the statute of limitations. The defense alleged that the prosecu tion is based on evidence obtained through intimidation and by offers of employment, money and immunity from prosecution from Colonel Wood, Inspector-General, ex-employe of the Quar termaster's department. It was further alleged that an attempt was being made to make Captain Cole a scapegoat in the furniture scandal of the Quartermaster's department and that Major-General Wood violated Section 893 of the Army regula tions in withholding information support ing undlvulged accusations until the charges were filed. The courtmartlar sustained the plea In bar of trial on all except two specifica tions, which charge irregularities alleged to have taken place In 1905, and then ad journed. The prosecution will immediately carry the eases against Captain Cole into the civil courts. Advance for 1. & K. Shopmen. LOUISVILLE, Ky Dec 17. The L. & N. railroad today gave notice that It increased wages of its shopmen 4 per cent, effective December 1. VIEW OFCITIZENS'ALLIANGE SATS STRIKE COMMITTEE IOES NOT REPRESENT CARMEN. Declares Riot Saturday Night Was Not the Work of Streetcar Employes. The Citizens' Alliance yesterday is sued the following statement: The Citizens' Alliance, an organization consisting of citizens of Portland, -was organ lzed several years ago for the purpose of preserving Industrial peace and freedom, and to promote a square deal to every man, or company of men. It has been the purpose of thle organization during Its history to guard- carefully the Interests not only of the employer, but of the employe, and where ver It was found that any member of the organization, be he employe or employer, was not acting entirely fair and In good faith, this organization has insisted upon proper treatment by such employer or employe. This organization has been a very potent Influence in the .settlement of a great man difficulties and threatened strikes, and In each and every case this was to the best interests, of the home-owning laboring man, thus giving him an opportunity of making continuous good wages and meeting his obli gations. It has Invariably risen above petty prejudices. Many threatened strikes in this city have been avoided by the prompt action and coun sel of the Citizens' Alliance, and today It stands for the proper enforcement of the laws of the country and a square deal to every man whatever the difficulty may be. In the present streetcar strike, the Citi zens' Alliance has Investigated the causes leading up to, and the questions involved In the strike, and beg to report to the citizens of Portland as follows: An organizer arrived from San Francisco some months ago with the avowed purpose of unionizing the streetcar men of Portland, but had met with very slight success, as the streetcar men declined to adopt the radical ideas proposed by this agitator. Falling In his attempt to secure co-operation, a com mittee which styled itself & committee rep resenting the streetcar men, attempted to force matters, for certain reasons best known to themselves. This committee was com posed of a member of the bartenders' Union, a member of the Waiters Union, a member of the Barbers' Union, the editor of the La bor Press, and a fortrsir employe of the rail way company, who had been discharged some weeks ago. It will be readily seen that such a committee would not truly represent the streetcar employes. We also find that the riot that occurred Saturday night was neither encouraged nor engaged in by the streetcar employes, and that it Is the almost universal sentiment of the streetcar men that such a course Is detri mental to them personally, as all law-abiding citizens deplore such public riot and de struction of property. The congregating upon the streets, and the gathering of unusual crowds, have a ten dency to encourage rioting, and give to the hoodlum element an opportunity of Inciting trouble that would 'otherwise be handled more readily by the police authorities. v REVOLT AGAINST VOLIVA Two-Thirds of "Zionists" Dissatis fied, Says Rev. C. A. Hoy. Dissatisfaction 'with the rule of Rev. W. Q. Voliva is the cause -for the with drawal of practically two-thirds of the members of the Christian Catholic Church of Zlon, according to the state ment of Rev. Charles A. Hoy, pastor of the Portland church. "The point at issue is that Voliva has. dismissed permanent officers be cause they have displeased him, and his given them no chance for redress," said Mr. Hoy last evening-. "The min isters throughout the land v are com municating with each other and are planning to organize on practical lines. We still follow the teachings of soul salvation, divine healing- and holy liv ing:. "At the meeting- Sunday night at Alisky Hall the Portland congregation unanimously voted to withdraw from the dogmatic rule of Voliva." At ihe meeting Rev. Mar. Hoy. read a letter addressed to Voliva at Zlon City,' tendering his resignation and saying he believed that, when Voliva took charge after the repudiation of Dowie, the church would be conducted according to the principles of primitive Christianity. Meetings will still be held regularly every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Alisky Hall. MORE LICENSES GRANTED Council Committee Compels Two Dealers to Move Saloons. Another meeting of the liquor license committee was held yesterday to con sider applications for liquor dealers for the year of 1907. Under the pres ent city regulations each dealer is com pelled to file his petition before being granted a license for the ensuing year. Over 400 such petitions have been granted. , John Iulsdorf and Minor Lewis, whose petitions were refused at last week's meeting because they were sell ing liquor within 400 feet of a school building, were granted licenses. The case of Lewis caused some discus sion. He has been conducting an order ly pTace and owns three substantial buildings on Couch sereet. His pres ent place of business is 320 feet from a school. FOUND DEAD. IN HIS BED Tom Danaille Asphyxiated by - Es cape From Gas Heater. The deadly fumes of gas claimed an other victim yesterday morning, when Tom Danaille was found dead in bed, asphyxiated by the escape from a small heater in his room. He was formerly in the employ of the Portland Railway, Light & Pow er Company, and quit his position only last week. Sunday he was heard to say that he was glad he was not work ing for the company at the time of the strike. He is said to have been in excellent spirits when he retired, about 9 o'clock Sunday evening. The death is believed to have been purely accidental. Several checks found among the dead man's effects show that he was not in want for ready cash. He was about 22 years of age and had come hero several years ago from Lane County. SELLING STOLEN TOOLS Edward Lee Arrested in Pawnshop as a Sneakthlef. Edward Lee. charged with being the sneak thief who has been stealing tools from buildings In course of construction in different parts of 'the city, was ar rested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Riley, as he was pawning a collection be longing to C. J. Bonnell, a carpenter, of 1497 East Ash street. The implements were stolen Sunday evening. Bonnell claimed he would have been unable, to work had they not been found. Another stolen outfit of carpenter's im plements belonging to Henry B. Eckton, who resides at Cedar Park, near St. Johns, has also been recovered by the po lice. These Implements had been pawned at the Third-street second-hand store and are believed to have been sold by Lee. SIG SICHEL & CO., 92 THIRD And Our New Shop, Third " and Washington Streets.

Abljah KING TO PAY BIG SHARE Position of Opposition of Terminal Rates for the Inland City Will Not Be Changed, From Present Indications). SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 17. (Special.) Neither the King County legislative dele gation nor the directors of the Alaska Yukon Exposition are at all inclined to comply with the demand from Spokane that this (city withdraw its opposition to Spokane's fight for terminal rates In pay ment for Eastern Washington's support for the proposed $1,000,000 Alaska-Yukon appropriation from the state. Neither the legislative delegation nor the directors of the exposition have any authority to bind the Merchants' Protec tive Association, that Is acting in perfect harmony vith Portland and Tacoma in resisting the Spokane fight before the Interstate Commerce Commission and Congress. Neither seems at all inclined to suggest anything to the merchants. " The directorate of the fair takes the position that the exposition will be of benefit to the entire state. King County must pay one-fifth of any appropriation granted by the Legislature, and even If the entire million sought by the fair management Is appropriated, King Coun ty will still pay more than all the rest of the state combined, for, beside the fifth collected as taxes. King has raised more than 650,000 in stock subscriptions. If the threat that the Alaska fair appro priation will be killed if Spokane is not given terminal rates Is attempted to be carried out. King County seems ready to accept the Inevitable. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agsabs Bar- ALBERTA GALLATIN TONIGHT Romantio Drama "Dorothy Vernon or Haddon Hall" at the HelUg.
