DR. C. H. CHAPMAN SPEAKS
Tu
SOCIALISTS.
On the Subject. "Why Is lie Poor?"
Xells l'laln Truths Regarding
Labor and Capital. '
"Why Is I-te Poor?" was the subject of
an address to Socialists by Dr. C. H.
Chapman last night in the Allsky Hall,
which was of deepest interest to all stu
dents of economln problems and which
held the close attention of the gathering.
Dr. Chapman haa the faculty of getting
right at the root of things, and he did
not deviate from his usual practice last
nifrht. He told plain and unvarnished
truths about the relative conditions of
the workinpnan and tlie capitalist, most
of them reflecting on the rascality of
many of the latter, some of -them on the
stupidity of the former. Frankly admit
ting that the truths he was telling about.
certain corporate interests would be
termed "Incendiary" from the capitalists'
view-point, he paid ironical tribute to
their purposes In robblnK the worklnK-
mun o hla rights and making him pay
or the "velvet" which provides dividends
on watered stock in tAg concerns.
J Jr. Chapman does not consider that the
habit of drink is one of the prime causes
ol the working cla?sc3' poverty, citing
the statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, wherein it Is shown
that the average expenditure for liquor
Is 25 cents per week for each family.
Ono ot tho principal reasons for being
poor he pave as the fact that every work-
inpman works two-thirds of the day for
nothing-; and the other that he works to
support the capitalist. In reference to
tlio former he explained that throe
hours work out of 10 balanced the wapo
and product of the work, while the other
seven hours were given to the employer.
"You are Tree citizens' he eaid, "but
you ro on voting along certain lines just
because your fathers or grandfathers did.
You jsro on working two-thirds of the day
tor the rich man when you could vote
for your own rights and have them, the
next day, and only do what you are paid
for. You ro on hanging onto straps in
the cars when you could own the sys
tems and maintain a decent service in-
Btead of paying the velvet to the corpor
ations." He took a humorous dig- at certain
teachings of Some religious bodies and
a vicious one at society, declaring the
latter to be an organization formed to
systematically pick the poor man's
pocket. "And some religious denomina
tions, he said, "'tell you to keep quiet,
that when you reach the 'evergreen shore'
there will be no capitalists and that
everything; will be lovely for the work
lnRma r. They have been fllnKing; this
song for centuries I have heard it eince
I vas a child, but how do we know what
la going to be on the other shore? It may
be full of capitalists even Rockefeller
may be there. I believe it Is better to
have tho bird In the hand and let the
capitalist do the waiting for the 4ever-
green shore.' "
U he speaker went into the "grabs of
city streets and property by local corpor-
atlons and told the stories ol steals
In most entertaining style.
HOLDS FRANCHISE HIGH
St. Johns Councilman Wants $2o,
OOO From Telephone Company,
Councilman S. C. TCorton. of St. Johns,
places a very high Value on the telephone
franchise in that place, and as far as
n la concerned there will be no com
promise with the company. He holds
that a 21-year franchise is worth S25.O0O.
and he is not In favor of granting one
lor less.
4'It may be that I am too high in my
but this Is the way It anneals to rue."
said the Councilman. "I am looking for
a big city on the Peninsula. The packing-
house plant alone will employ 5000 men
and then the blsr "VVeyerhauser eawmtll
will employ as many more. These two
plants win bring more people here and
other plants will also come. In less than
lO years more than 10,000 telephones will
be in use in &t, Johns : then what will
the franchise toe worth? Certainly more
than kiw, as somebody proposes. We
have to take the future Into considera
tion. I floa't know who authorized the
announcement that an offer had been
made the company to grant It a franchise
for 21 years for Jllflft. but we had just
as well frfve the company a franchise at
once as to grant any such erms."
Mayor Hlnman places a greater value
on the franchise than p ana an Ordi
nance fixing the value In accordance with
it would hardly- eret his support, as the
present oharter does not copter that power
on the Mayor. The telephone franchise
In St. Johns will doubtless continue tm-
settled and may enter Into the Spring:

IT must be a very dull and unresppnslve

to the beautiful sentiment and the In

Comedy, "Old Heidelberg." which the Ba-
ker Company played twice yesterday and
will repeat through the week.
It is a play which holds one's Interest
and sympathy completely. Its atmosphere

of serenades and moon 11 a ht and younsr
lovers' phantasies. The days when birds
sang in our hearts, when it wan Spring

for me it has never lost Its spell. I only
wish there were more like It
John Balnpolls plays Karl Helnrleh, the
young Prince who escapes from the court
to nave nis nin? at the University where
he breaks his heart and the heart of the
delicious little peasant-girl of Ruder's
Inn. The performance which M"r. Saln
polls gives is technically correct, as is
everything which that talented actor
does, but I do not consider that he Is
happily placed. In what la known as
he somehow falls to j?aln the sympathy
of the audience in his present role. I
know or no reason why this should be so.
except that an actor cannot play all
things equally well. Had I toeen casting
the piece I should have assigned Donald

"TlUy Olson" at tlie Empire.
A new kind- of Swedish dialect show
came to town yesterday and, played be
fore two standing-room-only audleaces at

The play transpires in Minnesota, where

the company is somewhat above the av

Conflicting; reasons were Riven for the
act by persons i n a position to know.
Officials at the barn say the greater
number failed to report for duty, whih
a few were discharged for cause. It Is
supposed that the men were so active

CHANT DEAD AT &0-A..
Distressing Affair Is Tiofrrt by
riiy sic Ian to Have Been an.
Accident.
SPOKANE. Wash., Jan. 6. (Special.)
After a half-hour of suffering, caused
by a fatal dose of carbolic acid, Mrs.
ferry T. Tull died this afternoon, at
her apartments ir the Val lamont PlocK.
Two physicians applied antidotes and
worked over the victim. In what man
ner and for what purpose the fatal
dose was taken will never be known.
Her physician eay. Mrs. Tull must
have mistaken the bottle containing
the carbolic acid for a bottle of medi
cine which she had been In the habit
of taking-. At the time of drinking; the
poison, Mr, Tull and a servant were In
another room. Mr. Tull immediately
summoned a physician front apartments
across the street, but poison had been
taken in sufficient quantities to ren
der Mrs. Tull unconscious, and she soon
died. Dr. Sutherland said:
"Mrs. Tull had -been in the habit of
taking medicine. - axfd. Z think that she
took tho carbolic acid by mistake.
Whether she drank it from a glass, a
spoon or a bottle, I could not deter
mine, nor could I say how much of a
dose she had taken. Sometimes even
a half-teaspoonful In trie ' case of a
person who is ill and who has not eaten
much, will prove fatal, and a teaspoon.
f vi 1 fs enough to kill almost anybody,
I Judge that the tragedy was accl-
dental."
Coroner Witter said he hud not been
notified and had not yet taken action.
Mrs. Tull was aged 45 years. She has
lived 18 years in Spokane. She was the
wife of P. D. Tull, senior member of the
firm of Tull &. Gibbs, houne-f urnlBhln
merchants, who have large establish
mcnts in Portland and Spokane. In'o
childrun survive. Mrs. Tull was prom-
lnent socially.
SUDDEN DEATH PROVES SHOCK

II SUSPECTS IN JAIL
POLICE BELIEVE THEY ARE
DARING HIGHWAYMEN.
At Police Station Men Give Their
Kama as F. J. l-'olcy ana
V. Coleman.
In the arrest of two suspects yeater-
clay by Detective Hellyer and Acting
Detective Price, the police feel confident
that they have the hold-up men who have
terrorized the North End for the past
week or ao, Ono of the men was positive
ly identified by D. MoGee. driver of
the Hotel Oregon bus. and by W. Mc-
Hugh, both of whom were held up last
week, (
After the arrests had been made McGee
and McHugh were called tip by telephone
and reaueated to uro to the station. Mo
Gee was the first to arrive. There were
ahout a dozen men present, fcut as soon
as he stepped in the door he recognized
the smallest of the suspects, who gave
his name as X J. Foley.
"That's the man who held the gun in
my face." lie declared. "I remember that
fat nose of his."
McHuRh also declared that Foley was
one of the men who held blm up. The
other suspect arrested gave liis name aa
TV. Coleman, but neither McGee nor Mc-
Hugh could positively Identify him.
McHugh was held up January 2 on
Park, between lOverett and Davis streets.
McGee was held up Friday ntgiit at the
comer of Pine and Fifth streets. The
descriptions of the two men apply fairly
well to Foley and Coleman. -
Hellyer and Price have been on the
lookout for the two men ever since the
hold-ups were reported. A citizen one
nlsrht last week passed two men on the
street and he heard one of them say to
the other, "We'll get his money If we
have to kill Wm."' He reported It and as
he had seen the men near Park and
Burnslde streets the detectives began to
watch, that neighborhood.
THe detectives learned that two men
and a woman lived In the back of & shoe
hop near the corner. and yesterday
momlng they swooped dowr upon it.
Coleman and the woman were there, and
Foley was later arrested in a
When taken to the station they could
not erive sat 1st actor jr accounts of them
selves. Cliarges of vH(?raiicy were placed
against them and this morning ilcGea
will swear out warrants. The woman
