Caus of crime Exact cause un known; believed to have been quar rel OTer money matters- between Grohs and Garretz; women may be involved. Anton Groin, .proprietor of the Spokane saloon, 315 "Water street, was shot arid probably fatally injured at 7:30 o'clock' last night at his place of business, riy JPe.tcr Garretz, asert Zi, a newsboy, with jwhom he quarreled. In an effort to secure ft. physician for the supposedly dying man. Unmea Higley fell a prey to the desper tf youth, who fired upon him with pos ibly fatal results, and Jack Gavin, who 'took wp the endeavor to -secure- medical ild. wa shot throua-h the arm. Hlpley 'And Gavin were In the saloon when Gar rets fired the lirot shot. The police were notified of the shooting nd all avaihiblo officers were dispatched tto tho scene of the crime. Garretz hud 'fled, leaving his victims prone on the floor writhing in agony. They were con veyed to the Good Samaritan Hospital twitll all possible .peed In the patrol mngon, and detectives took up the trail of the young and bloodthirsty assassin. Garret was taken into custody by De tective Sergeant. Baty and Acting De fective John Price on Third street, be tween Gllsan and Flanders, at 11 o'clock. H, was intoxicated, and when he saw tbe efflcera he attempted to draw two weapons from his hip pockets, but he wan overpowered, handcuffed and hurried 'to police headqtiarters before he could do 'any hnrm. He was surly and refused to italk. He lodged in a cell of the Citv -Jail. Motive for Crime Unknown. 'TVhaf led up to the shooting is not defi nitely known, for Grohs was too -badly wounded through the stomach to talk mlicji about the affair. It may have been o;eif money. The police say women may toe involved. George Morris-. of :t01,- "Water street, said that he heard ihe llrst shot and saw Grohs and Garretz stand ing in front of the saloon, and that the saloonkeeper staggered inside immediately after he was shot, whereupon bis assail ant fired nsain and stood alongside the entrance to the saloon, from which loca tion he shot Gavin and Higley as tliev nu'rceri on iheir way to secure a iloctor for Grohs. Morris also saw Garretz run anuth on Water street and turn west on Jlarket afterwards. Higley. who was seriously wounded, ran across Water mreet and fell to the sidewalk opposite the saloon. m Gavin, with a bullet hole, in his left arm. accompanied by Charles Mader. bar tender for Grohs. ran to the drug store at First and Madison street and summoned Dir. Lloyd Irvine, who reached the scene within a few minutes after the shooting. Gavin's wounded arm was dressed In the drugstore, after which lie returned to the aaloon and told of the shouting of hini , self and Higley. Gavin Tells or Hie Miwotin;;. "Jim Higley and myself were in the sa loon when we heard two shots and Anton came staggering In. saying he was shot."' eaid Gavin to an Oregonian reporter. "U Immediately' started for a doctor and as we stepped out on the sidewalk. 1 saw Pete Garretz standing alongside . the building, and as Higley stepped oft the afop Pete shot him through the stomach and turned his gun towards me. j was hot through the left arm at the muscle. 1' turned and ran into the saloon, and with the bartender, ran out the back way for a doctor. I cannot assign any reason for the deed, other than that Garretz may be crazy. He is an excitable fellow jend frequently engaged in disputes, some times over drinks or other trivial mat ters. " Anton Grohs, before lapsing into un consciousness, prior to being taken to the .hospital in an ambulance, snld to an Oie ,nnnlan reporter that It was fete Garretz who. shot him. btit was prevented from talking further by Dr. lt-ine. Grohs soon after swooned away. .Grohs sustained one wound through the nloniach by a bullet which entered the right side and lodged just under the skin on the left side. -He was .also shot through the left foot. Charles K. MacDonald. who resides at SJ7 Water street, was the first man to of fer assistance to Higley and to whom the later announced. "As r opened the door I'ele Garretz shot me." and lapsed into unconsciousness. MacDonald heard five nfcots. but did not see Garretz as he reached the street from his home. The, murderous assailant fired five shots, four of which took effect. Grohs was shot twice, and Higley and Gavin received one bullet each. Who llio Victims Are. i-All three of the victims are married and have families. Antone Grohs resides with his wife and two children at ISO Grant street. James Higley resides at 7t? Mac adam street, and has a wife and three children. John Gavin lives at the foot of Clay street with his family. Higley and Gavin are mployes of the Portland Lum ber t'ompany and Garretz formerly worked with them. Rudolph Schmld. proprietor of a saloon at 4W Water street, several blocks south of the Spokane saloon, when told of the hooting of Grohs and the others hf- Gar ret!, made the following statement in the presence of Sergeant Cole and Patrolmen Riley. O'Brien and Wanless: "I know this "mn: Pete Garretz. He is one of the most imiililpaiimn men In thi no rt ; About four months ago when he frequent- some trivial reason one day. I ordered him out and informed him that I did not want him around any more. Since then he has stayed away."

During the last month the public schools of Portland have" had the largest attendance in their history. On March 8. at the close of the school month, the registration was 19.65$. about 3000 more than during the corresponding period in lfMHi. The average attendance was 16.957. During the same time in 1106 there was a registration of 16,48 and an average at tendance of 13,780. A small part of this increase is due to the annexing of the suburbs. Mont a villa and Mount Tabor. The figures include both the grammar and high schools. The congestion in the Highland school was o great that it was necessary to transfer some of the punjls to the Irvlngton and Wood lawn schools. During the school month of February-March the Highland school had S69 pupils. The enrolment of the other largest schools during the same period was as follows: Shattuck school. Fifth ami Harrison streets. 816: West Side High school. iHff;;; Thompson: school. 766: Laiid school. 7Ct( and Holliday school, 7-1.

J0c t B LOW WILL FALL AT NOON TODAY Strikers to Take Steps Towards Paralyzing Lumber Industry of Coast. HOPE TO TIE UP ALL MILLS Only One Mill in Operation Cracker Companies Faee Box Shortage.. Sewer Employes Join in De mand for Higher Wages. Mrike Situation Summarized. Strikers announce that at noon to day they will direct their first blow towards paralyzing the lumber mills and dependent industries on the Pa cific Coast. initiatory steps will then be taken towai-ds ordering 41 general strike. Slate Labor Commissioner Hoff is unsuccessful in an efTort to get the millhands and the millowners to ar bitrate their differences. Twenty men. employed by sub--contractors in sewer construction for the city, struck yesterday for a min imum of SI'.!." a day for nine hours. Several striking millhands are giv en employment on sewer construe ' tion work. They arc thought to be the disturbing element that caused desertion of some of these laborers from tbe crew employed by Gieb Isch & Joplin on the Brooklyn sewer. Scarcity of boxes will necessitate closing down of biscuit, cracker and other factories of the city which are dependent on the box-making plants for their supply of boxes. All of these mills are closed. Plant of Peninsula Lumber Com pany, near St. Johns, is the only lumber mill in the city that is being operated. This mill is being iVin days only, no attempt being made to op erate the property at night. At noon today, the striking millharuls will take the initiatory step towards paralyzing the entire lumber industry and all dependent activities on the Pacific Coast. ' . This statement was made' last night by Organizer .Yarrow, of the Indus- j trial Workers of the World. It is through this organization that the strikers hope to enforce their demands for an increased wage and a nine hour day. They expect to compel the mill owners to accede to the demands by seriously crippling the lumber industry of the Pacific States. This, they claim, they will be able to do as the organi zation claims to have all of the lumber mills of any consequence between Mex ico and British Columbia thoroughly unionized and ready to walk out on orders from the officals directing the strike. "We feel that we have given the millowners ample time in which to consider our demands and act thereon." said Organizer Yarrow last night. "They have not only failed to act on this request but have ignored our de mands, altogether. I have been given full power by the executive committee of the Industrial Workers of the World to call a strike and to deal with the situation in the interest of the eon tending workmen. We feel that we are asking only what is right and we shall insist that we be accorded con siderate treatment and the reasonable concessions mat have been demanded." Sewer-Workers Out. Asking for a nine-hour day, about 20 of the pick and shovel men em ployed by the contracting firm of Zie bisch & Joplin, on the Brooklyn sewer under construction for1 the city, quit work yesterday morning. Others last night notified their employers that they would not report for work this morning unless their hours are reduced from 10 to nine. All pick and shovel men employed at this labor are re ceiving from $2.50 to $3.50 a day and work 10 hours. The men were not dissatisfied with their wages but de manded a shorter day. Bricklayers and their helpers, employed on the same improvement receive better 'wage's and work only eight hours a day. "We are doing a great deal of con tract work for the city," said Mr. Gie blseti last night, "but it is only in our work on the Brooklyn sewer that we have experienced any trouble with our men. We find that laborers are very plentiful at the wages we are paying and expect to have no trouble in fill ing the places of those that have left Some of the men who either volun tarily quit their work in the lumber 'mills or were thrown out of employ ment by the lockout that followed, are nowworking for us and we expect to employ others tomorrow." It- is suspected by the millowners that the object ot the striking mill hands in securing ernjtloyment with the sewer contractors was to futher their missionary work and enlist new ren-rults in the strike movement. This suspicion, however, is not shared by the contractors who have given the millhands employment. They report that after being idle 10 days, the strikers are glad of an opportunity to find work. Bridge workers are the only class of laborers employed directly by the city that are likely to desert their work on account of the strike difficulty, according to the belief of the city authorities. And these men are more apt to find them selves without work owing to a scarcity of lumber, it is said, than because of dissatisfaction with their wages. They are being paid $3.50 a 'day. or the full compensation they demanded, when their wage schedule was revised a few weeks ago. Keftise to Arbitrate. State I-abor Commissioner Hoff spent yesterday in the city and interviewed some' of the leading millowners with a view 10 uiui"K rwjul a. conierence Wltn the striking employes but he failed in his mission. Monday Mr. Hoff met with the strike leaders, whom he found willing ana desirous ot conferring with the e: ployers. The millowners. in discussing the situation, contended that they had nothing to arbitrate and for that reason would not meet with their former em ployes. Just what attitude the millowners will take in treating with the men during the long strike that is in prospect is purely speculative. Not one of the owners of these valuable properties will make a statement and their position appears to be one of absolute indifference. From this it i inferred that the millowners will maintain a "stand pat" policy. They seem to believe that the pecuniary loss to the community and the paralysis of 'industry generally that will follow a continuance of the strike, will so' arouse j public sentiment that some means .will be devised for remedying the situation, which, they allege, is the product of undue agitation from outside influences. . Of all the lumber mills in this vicinity, that of the Peninsula Lumber. Company. ' near St. Johns, is the oniy plant that is still being operated. The strikers have succeeded in causing desertions from this mill to the extent that the management has been obliged to abandon further at tempts to operate the plant at night and only a day crew is now employed. Yes terday the plant was run' in all of its departments. The Linnton mill has been closed after being operated for several days with a crippled force. It was intended by the strikers to turn their attention this week towards clos ing the. sash and door factories but Organizer Yarrow says the men have thus far been too busy attending to the initiation of the employes at the.e plants- to direct any missionary work. ' At the rate the men employed in these factories are enlisting with the Industrial Workers of the World, the strikers expect to have the hearty co-operation of these men 'to the extent of a complete walkout when the general strike is ordered. At Vancouver. Wash., the strikers claim to have organized all of the millliands a.s well as many of the other industries. The veneer plant at St. Johns has been closed down and all of these men have united in a demand for a minimum wage schedule of $2.50 a day for nine hours' work. At Rainier, to which point several of tbe head organizers of the Industrial Workers of the "World were forwarded, satisfactory progress is reported in listing the employes of the two large lumber mills. Wade Parks, of Montana, rep resenting the People, the official organ of the Industrial Workers of the World, reached Portland yesterday, as did also W. J. Carlson, another National organizer from Minnesota. They will assist in directing the strike. After spending two weeks here. Parks expects to go to Wal lace, Idaho, where he will -report for his paper the trial of Mover. Heywood and Pettibone. officers of the Western Fed eration of Miners. Four hundred Industrial Workers of the World buttons were received at head quarters yesterday but the supply was quickly exhausted. Others have been ordered. Owing to lack of sawdust for fuel," the Portland Light & Railway Company has found it necessary to close down three of its steam plants that were used for the light and power department of the company. Superintendent Sykes says there is no danger of a shortage of cur rent for heat, light and power purposes on this account for the new plant, at Cazadero "has adequate capacity for ail needs, independently of all other facill ties owned by the company in this city. Several of the smaller factories of the city, that have largely used sawdust for fuel, will be handicapped and may be compelled to close. Several of the Columbia River logging camps had purchased new locomotives and otherwise increased the capacity of their camps in anticipation of an un usually busy season . this year. This equipment is now ot little use, for the threatened general strike among the lumber mills of the Coast will entirely. destroy the market for logs. Keprcsen tatives of the various logging camps on the Lower Columbia will hold a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce at 2 o clock this afternoon, when the situation will be thoroughly discussed. If it appears that to continue the operation of these camps will flood the market with logs to the consequent injury of the value ot this product, it Is probable that the loggers .will conclude to cease operations unm the present trouble lias been settled and the market for logs has been re established. I'KGES "ACTION" BY CITIZF.XS Ttev. O. Van Waters Suggests Muss Meeting on strike. Rev. George B. Van Waters. D. D., pas tor of St. David's Episcopal Church, East Side, wants to see some action taken that will result In the settlement of the strike. He suggests a mass meeting. . In speak ing of the matter last night Dr. Van Waters said: "This strike should not he allowed to continue and the people of the city should at once take some action that will bring the strikers and the millowners together so that some agreement can be reached. Surely reasonable and fair men can agree if they will only deal with each other. Portland cannot allow this strike to con tinue. If it only involved the strikers and mill hands, it would not be so bad. but its effects are felt in every direction. In the midst of our prosperity the strike will discourage investments. It will tend to stop building and paralyze the growth of Finland. Of course, there are two sides to the controversy, but there should be concessions. I should be glad to aid In any movement that would result in the labor difficulties being settled as soon as possible." MAY STRIKE IX BELLIXGHAM Industrial Workers Busy Unionizing the' Millworkers. BELL-INGHAM. Wash., March 12. (Special.) Organizers of Industrial Workers of the World are declared to be in Bellingham marshaling the local members of the order preparatory to calling a strike in Bellingham mills. where the organization is . strong enough to cause a general walkout. It is probable that in Whatcom County there are. at least 2J00 members of this unionized army. It is entirely possible that the strength which the Industrial Workers could show in Bellingham. if ordered a strike, would be as surprising as t was in Portland. Their strength has proved to be far greater than genet ally supposed, and the people at large have very little idea of their number and power. If the Industrial Workers shiould order a walkout in Bellingham. and succeed in tying up the mills, the action would perhaps be welcomed for a time by rail shippers, because of the embargo on eastbound freight. - The cargo mills, however, would be hard hit, and no doubt would do all in their power to prevent trouble. SIXW PROGRESS IN" RAINIER In ion Agent Gets Only Four Out of 150 Millhands. RAINIER, Or.. March 12.-(Special.) An organizer, representing the Industrie Workers of the World, is making slow progress in his efforts to organize the employes in the Rainier lumber mills pre liminary to a sympthetic strike that is expected to close every lumber mill in this section. A mass meeting of mill laborers was held last night when the benefits of organization were presented by. the 'representatives of the union that is directing tiie Portland lumber 'mill strike. When he had - finished. E. H. Flagg. editor of the Rainier Gazette, addressed .the audience in the interest of the busi ness men as well as the laborers them selves, called attention to the disastrous effects generally that follow unwarranted industrial disturbances. The result was that when an opportunity was offered the millhands to unite with the organization in a sympathetic strike, but five of the 150 laborers so declared themselves. The organizer is -continuing his work today with but little more success than attended the meeting-last night. Astoria .Millworkers Satisfied. ASTORIA, Or., March 13. (Special.)
