OLD Mi CRUSHED
DOWN
S. F. Ferbrache Per
haps Fatally Hurt.
DRIVER BECOMES CONFUSED
Sends His Machine Full Speed
Ahead in Trying to Stop.
POST CHECKS WILD RUSH
Threatening Crowd Surrounds Auto,
Driver, J. G. Clemson, Is Arrest
ed, and His Partner, a Pas
senger In Car, Runs Away.
Solomon F. Ferbrache, a Grand Army
veteran, 70 years of age, and living at 249
Jefferson street, was knocked down by an
automobile, driven by J. G. Clemson at a
very low rate of speed, at Third and Mor
rison streets yesterday afternoon at 4'.15
o'clock and was perhaps fatally Injured.
The accident Is one of the most peculiar"
on record. The old man was bumped
three times by the machine, was finally
felled and was then run over and badly
bruised from head to feet. Losing con
trol of his car, the chauffeur. In attempt
ing to stop, starated full speed ahead in
stead and dashed Into a telegraph pole
at the Vomer, in front of the department
store of Roberta Bros., smashing the
headlights, but working no other injury
because of the short distance and conse
quent low momentum.
Mrs. Clemson, who was riding with her
husband, remained in the front seat, but
a man who was riding In the rear seat,
and whose name Clemson refuses to di
vulge beyond saying he is"" a partner In
business with him, leaped from the ma
chine and disappeared in the dense throng
that gathered. He could not be'located
after the accident, and Clemson positive
ly refused to reveal his companion's iden
tity. Excited Crowd Surounds Car. v
A wild scene, bordering on a panic, fol
lowed the action of the automobillsts, and
. when the machine passed over its aged
victim, exposing to view his bleeding
wounds, strong demands were made by
the crowd upon Policeman Riley for the
immediate arrest of Clemson, but the of
ficer declined to take this action, as
Clemson volunteered to carry his victim
to the North Pacific Sanatorium in the
machine and to stand good for all ex
penses of treatment.
When the unknown man In the rear seat
leaped out of the machine and slunk
away through the crowd, he was loudly
jeered by men who witnessed his act, and
angry words were heard on all sides.
Meantime, Policeman Riley, assisted by
Clemson and others, lifted Ferbrache Into
the automobile, and he was quickly con
veyed to the sanatorium, where Dr. Cof
fey attended him. The victim was in a
bad condition, and the physicians were
unable last night to state Just how serious
are the wounds.
There were several severe scalp wounds,
the flesh was torn from the fingers of the
left hand; the right hand was lacerated
and bruises were everywhere In evidence.
Because of his advanced age, fears are
had for his recovery. None of the inju
ries, however, are thought sufficient to
cause death.
After the victim was carried to the
sanatorium. Policeman Riley took Clem
son to police headquarters, where Chief
Gritzmacher ordered Captain Slover to
take his name and address. He lives at
617 Marshall street, and is a member of
the real estate firm of Clarke, Clemson &
Blumauer, in the Couch building. He
was then released, as Chief Gritzmacher,
after hearing the facts from Policeman
Riley, decided no charge could be filed."
Four Charges Could Be Filed.
Chief Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald,
however, after hearing the facts from an
other source, declared that there are at
least four charges that can be filed
against Clemson. These, he states, are
simple assault, assault with a deadly
weapon, reckless driving and gross negli
gence in the handling of the automobile.
A. N. Wills, president of the City Coun
cil, was among those who witnessed the
accident. He voluntarily gave his name
to Policeman Riley, saying to call upon
him, if necessary, for any testimony
that might be required to prove a case
against Clemson. Mr. Wills said he
never witnessed such an exhibition of
recklessness and lack of knowledge of
controlling an automobile, and said he
intended to see to It that Clemson was
no longer permitted to operate a machine
on Portland's streets.
Clemson. Mrs. Clemson and the un
known man. who ran away, came down
Morrison street toward the' river at what
is estimated by those who saw the acci
dent at not more than two miles an hour.
Ferbache, carrying an advertising sign for
a steamship company, was bound in the
same direction and was in the middle of
Third street, when the machine first
bumped Into him. He -turned and saw
the auto, and tried to step aside, but
Clemson. evidently very much excited,
steered the machine after the old man.
and the latter was again hit twice, being
shoved slightly, and being unable to get
out of the way. Then Clemson appar
ently lost his head completely and turned
on the power full speed, dashing for
ward at a rapid rate, hurling Ferbache
to the pavement and running over him
It was but a few feet to a telegraph pole.
Into which Clemson's machine crashed.
No harm was done beyond breaking the
headlights.
Driver Is Declared Incompetent.
Clemson. after being released by Chief
Gritzmacher. took Ferbrache's brother
out to see the injured man. Clemson was
driving an automobile to which was at
tached city license tag No. 487 and Oregon
license tag No. 535.
Policeman Riley, after riding with Clem
son, pronounced the latter absolutely In
competent to handle an automobile. He
said Clemson nearly collided with two
streetcars on the way from Third and
Morrison to Second and Oak streets, and
came near running down several pedes
trians. Clemson, Riley stated, expected
every vehicle and footman to give him
the right of way.

Haywood Doubts Genuineness of
Find Dentist Can't Identify.
DENVER. Aug. . Contrary to the re
port of last night, a News special from
Tellurlde, Colo., says Dr. 9. Lord, dentist,
failed to identify the teeth in the skeleton
found on Wednesday by General Bulkeley
Wells as those of W. J. Barney, the miner
who Is said to have been murdered in 1901
because of his known hostility to the
Western Federation of Miners. Dr. Lord
discontinued keeping a record of his work
before he filled a tooth for Barney, but he
remembers that the only filling in Bar
ney's teeth was one in an upper back mo
lar. General Wells, In an interview published
In the News, declares Steve Adams ad
mitted burying the body two years after
the murder, but denied having killed Bar
ney. According o Wells, Adams told him
9t. John and six Austrlans beat Barney
the night of the murder. Adams con
fessed killing Arthur Collins, It Is said.
William D. Haywood, secretary-treas
urer of the Western Federation of Miners,
intimated in an interview today that in
his opinion the skeleton found at Tellu

good faith. He said the renewed enforce

VOTE TO AWAIT
SMALL'S ORDERS
Portland Telegraphers Hold
Meeting and Decide Not to
Walk Out.
CONSERVATIVES IN POWER
Strike Sentiment Is Strong, How
ever, and Radicals Are Kept in
Line With Difficulty Vnlon
Men Are AH Loyal.
There will be no strike7 of the telegraph
operators employed in Portland unless
the men are ordered out by Sam Small,
National president of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union. At a meeting last
night the members of the local union
adopted a resolution dclaring their in
tention to remain at work. A telegram
advising President Small of this action
was forwarded to him at Los Angeles
last night. Local operators are well or
ganized and say that upon orders from
President Small practically a complete
tleup will result.
The embers of dissatisfaction and In
clination to take Immediate action were
fanned into live coals by talk of a strike
all day yesterday,' and when the local
operators assembled last night It looked
as if, in their enthusiasm. It would be
voted to walk out. During the day, it is
reported, a secret ballot was taken
among the 70 members of the Portland
local. This vote Is said to have stood
50 In favor of an Immediate walkout and
20 for conservative action. The sentiment
not being unanimous, it was finally de
cided to confer with the National officers.
When last night's meeting was called
to order at Drew Hall, several of the
operators wanted to declare a sympa
thetic strike without waiting to hear
from the head officials, but the conserva
tives advised against precipitate action.
It was argued that any strike that may
be ordered should have the sanction of
the National organization if It is to be
officially recognized and supported. After
a thorough dlscusssion of the strike sit
uation, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Text of th Resolutions.
Resolved, That the telegraphers now em
ployed In the City of Portland who are
members of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union of America follow the Instructions of
President Small regarding striking In sym
pathy with the Chicago and other offices.
After the meeting had adjourned, the
officers of Portland Local, No. 92, sent
the following message to President
Small, at Los Angeles:
Meeting tonight voted unanimously to
follow your Instructions, but demand you
sanction action of locals already out. We
await your command. Hard to hold radical
members.
The union telegraphers are now on
strike In Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneap
olis, Kansas City, Helena and Omaha.
Operators in other cities are holding
meetings, but the great majority of the
locals will await the official action of
President Small. The principal grievance
of the operators is alleged discrimination
by the Western Union against the union
men in its employ. In cities where the
union men have quit work, non-union
operators are handling the business.
Union men seriously object to sending or
receiving messages over a wire when "the
fellow at the other end" is not a mem
ber of the organization and Is employed
virtually in the capacity of a strike
breaker. It Is this condition that has
caused the desertions from the Western
Union Company in the large cities named.
Manager Dumars Talks.
"We are receiving all messages subject
to delay," said Manager Dumars, of the
Western Union office in this city, yester
day. "We are still sending and receiving
messages to and from all cities, but the
service ds somewhat congested. Operators
employed here in Portland are not known
to have any grievance, and I do not ex
pect a strike. If the men should strike
it will be out of sympathy for the other
operators who have already quit their
positions." .
"Our communication with all other
points from Portland has not been dlsr
turbed in the least," said John Annand,
Portland manager for the Postal Tele
graph Company. "We are not having
any trouble with our operators, who have
no grievances, and do not exnect any in
convenience because of the pending
strike." '
With but one or two exceptions, every
operator employed in Portland belongs to
the union. The local membership in
cludes operators In both the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph offices
and in the Associated Press office.
Should a strike be ordered, Portland's
telegraph business would be completely
paralyzed and it is doubtful if operators
could be found to give the city any serv
ice. For the present the situation in
volves only the operators in the employ
of the Western Union Company, but if
a stubborn strike should come. It is ex
pected an effort would be made to induce
the Postal and the Associated Press op
erators, who belong to the same union,
to Join the strike, in order to bring about
a complete suspension of all telegraphic
business and to force an early adjust
ment of the controversy.
Neither Walter Branin, president, nor
Percy D. Morgan, secretary of the Port
land Telegraphers' local, would make any
statement last night. When asked what
the probable action of President Small
would be, they said they had not the
slightest idea. Small Is regarded as an
able man by operators here and they
will abide by any action he may order.
"If the operators go out, we will' go
with them," said a messenger boy last
night, with an air that Indicated If there
Is to be any excitement the lads who
deliver messages are going to get a
taste. "We have had an organization
here In Portland for the last two years,"
he added, "and have a membership that
includes practically every lad over 14
years of age in the employ of the West
ern Union, besides several of the boys
employed In the other messenger agen
cies in this city. When the operators
quit work there will be nothing for us
to do and we have decided to strike with
the telegraphers."

ISLAND OF SIASI INVITES AMER
ICAN CAPITAL.
Mayor of Rich Philippine City
Writes Letter to Chamber of
Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce is in re
ceipt of . the following interesting let
ter from Frank S. Dewitt, Presidente
of the Municipality of Siasi, an island
in the Sulu group of the Philippine
Archipelago; calling attention to com
mercial opportunities in that little
known region;
My Dear Sir: Knowing you to be inter
ested In the commercial products of the Phil
ippine Islands. I take this method of calling
to your attention the town of Slaal.
Slafil is situated on an Island of the same
name, about 40 miles south of Jolo. In the
district of Sulu, and Is a town of about 26 uO
inhabitants. All the business of the town Is,
at present, done by about 35 stores, all
owned and operated by Chinese. The town
has well-gradied streets, a public park, pub
lic school, public baths, public wells, a rood
market and the most delightful and healthiest
climate in the Philippine Islands.
Slasi Is situated in the heart of the greatest
pearl fisheries In the world, and the greater
part of the pearls and pearl shells exported
from the Moro Province are shipped from this
port. Many other kinds of shells, such as
tortoise, caracie. etc., are found here and
shipped to Manila, Singapore, Hongkong and
other cities and there manufactured Into but
tons, knife-handles, combs and other useful
and ornamental articles.
The waters all over the district abound in
fish, sharks, turtles, sea slugs, sea worma and
various other valuable marketable sea pro
ducts. A good business could be established
In dried fleh alone. At Sltankl, the smallest
town In this district, over 20,000 pounds of
dried fish were last month shipped to Sanda
kan. British North Borneo, Singapore, Hong
kong and ports In the Philippines.
There is in the district an unlimited sup
ply of magnificent timber. Including some of
the finest and most desirable hardwoods In
the Islands. AH this timber Is easy to get
to by water, consequently the transportation
facilities are first-class. ,
There are In the district no leas than 500,000
bearing cocoanut trees, and more are being
planted every year. This means that a good
Dullness could be established in copra, with
practically no labor or expense. Very little
business In copra is done In - this district at
present, because the Moras do not know how
to properly prepare the article for market,
but they could be very easily taught.
The soil on Blast and the adjacent islands
Is rich and deep, and will produce In abun
dance, with very little labor, corn, rice,
tapioca, hemp, rubber, beans, peas, cabbage,
lettuce, onions, potatoes and, in fact, any
thing that will grow in a tropical climate.
The land laws are very liberal and there Is
land in plenty , for all who care to cultivate It.
The More all over the district are peace
able hospitable and Industrious, and are
anxious to have strangers come here and
help them to open up and develop their coun
try. There are a great many other things that
could be ssld In favor of this district, for
the opportunities for the Investment of capi
tal are no better anywhere In the Philippines
than right here in Slasi. This Is all a virgin
country and needs only the magic touch
of capital, with a little energy, to yield the
investors large returns for their investments.
Labor is very cheap here, the average wage
being from 40 to 00 cents per day, or about
$10 per month.
It Is utterly impossible to put on paper
or describe with words all the desirable fea
tures of this district as a business proposi
tion, but the undersigned will be glad to
"What person is there in
Portland, earning $100 a
mouth, who cannot afford
a real estate investment?
An exceptional one, now
and then, perhaps. Peo
ple come to Portland, live
in Portland and prepare
to remain in Portland, for
the reason that they have
confidence in Portland.
"What better argument, .
then, to call forth an in
vestment in Portland t
Kose City Park property
can never diminish in val
ue, except there be a Na-
y tional calamity, when all
the people suffer. The
odds are many to . one . on
the man who places his -money
in Rose City Park
. real estate. If everything
he did in life had the
strong prospects of suc
cess that characterize a
Rose City Park invest
ment, he would, indeed, be
a fortunate individual.
HARTMAN & THOMPSON, Bankers
Chamber of Commerce
answer any questions or give any additional
Information you may desire.
Hoping to hear from you on this subject,
and that you will decide to help develop and
open up this new country by investing some
capital, I am, very- truly yours,

Presidente.

Treatise on Agriculture a Misfit for
Conditions In Oregon. '
CORVAL.LIS, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.)
Inquiries are pouring in at the col
lege relative to the Summer course In
agriculture for preparation of Oregon
teachers for use of the new text-book
on agriculture. Immense interest has
already developed, and the letters indi

of the state will be in attendance. The
Instructors who are to conduct the

that portions of the text are not suit
able to Oregon agriculture; second,
that portions of it need modification
for use here, and third, that it needs
supplemental work that is local and
Important In the study of Oregon agri

point, for instance, valuable space and
time is consumed In the treatments of
pests that are unknown In this state.
