Then March Down Again.
GREETED BY THE MAYOR
His Honor Listens to Memorial for
Free Food, Opening of Public
Works, Abolishment of ?hain
gang Demands Considered.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 20. (Special.)
The unemployed laborer's long talked-of
demonstration .was made today and it
was much akin to that memorable march
of the King of France, who led 10.0CO men
up the hill and then led them down
again. Marshaled by the leaders of the
Industrial Workers of the World, an or
ganization which includes the unem
ployed in its membership, about 6000 men
marched up First avenue for several
blocks and then debouched to the City
Hall, where a call was made for the
Mayor.
Mayor Moore was on the spot that is,
he reached the City Hall a little after the
delegation and was in time to receive
a committee which presented him with
a memorial whicti demanded the
feeding and sheltering of unemployed, a
weekly allowance for men with families,
the opening of all public work and the
abolishment of the chain gang. "
The Mayor submitted a letter a short
time later In which he replied to the de
mands by saying that the County Com
missioners have devoted fciboo to feeding
and sheltering the unemployed, that all
public works provided for by approprla
tioa are now under way, end that to do
away with the chain-gang It will be
necessary for the Council to stride the
ordinance from the books.
There was considerable muttering, a
few threats of violence, but no untoward
demonstration. A committee represent
ing the men was present at the meeting
of the Council tonight, but appeared fair
ly well satisfied with the determination
of that body to submit the demands to a
committee.
M'tTIXOCH COMING SORTH
Kevenue Cutter Will Make Head
quarters at Astoria.
ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) A
letter was received at the Custom-House
today from First Lieutenant Bernard H.
Camden, commanding the revenue cutter
McCulloch. ' now at Sausallto, Cal., stat
ing that the veasel will soon sail for As
toria to make b,er headquarters at this
porf.
The barkentine J. M. Griffith cleared at
the Custom-House today for Redondo
with a cargo of 625,000 feet of lumber,
loaded at Rainier.
Chairman A. V. Pendleton, of the State
Board of Filot Commissioners, has re
ceived Instructions from the Governor for
the present board to continue its duties,
and Mr. Pendleton has issued a call nor
a special meeting to be held In this city
tomorrow afternoon. This will be the
first business session of the board since
the row defunct Port of Columbia law
went into effect. i
During the gale yesterday afternoon
tile British ship Claverdon, which was
lying In the "'lower harbor, dragged her
anchor and went on the sands. ' She is
resting easily and is apparently not In
jured, but as she went aground at high
tide, It may be necessary to lighter a por
tion of her cargo before she can be
floated.
Dr. Holt, Federal quarantine officer at
this port, received word today from the
department in Washington that his rec
ommendation to have the arrival of ves
!ls reported by the lookout at the Point
Adams llfeaaving station has been grant
ed. The reports will be made by tele
phone direct to the quarantine office.
This innovation will assist materially in
lessening the delay of vessels on account
of the inspection requirements, as while
owing to thick weather incoming craft
cannot always be seen and reported ftfom
TCorth Head, they can be seen at all
times from Point Adams.
BYSTANDERS ARE CONVICTED
Two Boys Given Penitentiary Sen
tence for Watching: Hold-up.
PEXDLBTON. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.)
Three years each in the penitentiary was
the sentence Imposed upon Arthur Paine
and Hrry Kelley by Judge Bean, this
morning. These two boys were recently
found guilty of complicity In the robbery
of a man on the street in broad daylight.
According to the evidence brought out at
the trial, Paine and Kelley received no
part of the $6.75 stolen, but merely stood
by and watched another fellow take the
money. The third man is yet to be tried.
An interesting point In connection with
tile case is the motion for a new trial
filed this morning In which It s alleged
two of the Jurors were guilty of miscon
duct. In that they visited the scene of
the robbery during a recess in the trial.
As the robbery took place in the re
stricted district, the incident is the more
interesting.
The case against A. Perard. the sheep
man who Is charged with stealing from a
neighbor's Hock, owing to the prominence
of the man accused, is regarded as the
most important on the docket for this
torm of court.
The grand jury will make its final re
port tomorrow.

Hood River People Circulate
Petitions for New County..
TEN DAYS TO FILL THE LIST
Twice Defeated in Iieglslatur by
Opposition From Thp Dalles,
County Divislonlsts Make Ap
peal to People of State.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.)
After having been unsuccessful with
a county division measure in the legis
lature for the past two years, residents
in the district designated as Cascade
County, but which it has been decided
shall be known as riood River County,
are preparing to bring the matter up at
the June election and submit it to the
people direct. Several hundred petitions
for this purpose were put in circulation
today and are being taken to all sections
of the state. Hood River, which would
be the county seat of the new county In
case it is created, is the center from
which the movement is radiating, al
though many Portland residents who
own property at Hood River are actively
interesting themselves in getting the
matter before the people. In order to
get the county question to a vote It will
be necessary to secure 7500 signers be
tween now and January 31, and al
though Just launched today, the committee
having the matter in charge have been
assured of support from many sections
of the state.
As the last Legislature passed -a law
making it necessary to pass a general
law for the creation of new counties, and
it is thought to be doubtful If this would
be done by the next session of the State
lawmakers, the measure is being brought
before the voters under an amendment to
the constitution specified in Section 2 of
Article XI, which says:
Corporations may be formed under gen
eral laws, but shall not be created by the
Legislative Assembly by special laws. The
Legislative Assembly shall not enact, amend
or repeal any charter or act of Incorpora
tion tor any municipality, city or town. The
legal voters of every city or town are here
by, granted power to enact and amend their
municipal charter, subject to the constitu
tion and criminal laws of -the State of
Oregon.
As the above amendment was proposed
and adopted under the initiative and ref
erendum law of 1906, going into effect by
the proclamation of the Governor June
25 of that year. It gives any municipality
the right of submitting questions affect
ing them to a direct vote of the people,
provided a sufficient number of petition
ers are secured.
As the opposition to the creation of a
new county from the. Western end of
Wasco County has .heretofore largely
come from The Dalles Influence In the
Legislature it Is thought that if the re
quired number of petitioners are secured
it will be successful at the June elections.

SHOPLIFTER WILL GO FREE
Suicide of Husband Regarded as
Punishment Enough for Woman.
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) Be
cause her husband killed himself through
worry over her arrest here for shoplift
ing, Mrs. Ellen ' Vanderlip. of Halsey,
will escape prosecution for the crime. Be
lieving that this tragedy has obviated the
necessity of punishment, and also be
cause the woman is 58 years old, and a
morphine fiend. Chambers & McCune, the
merchants in whose store she was caught
stealing, decided tonight to refuse to
prosecute her.
The lifeless body of Henry Vanderlip
was found yesterday hanging in the
smokehouse at his home, one mile west
of Halsey. He had tied a rope to a rafter
of the building, fastened a noose about
his neck while standing on a box and
then kicked the box from beneath him.
Vanderlip was 70 years old and had been
an invalid for two years, being afflicted
with erysipelas. The sudden arrest of
his wife and her confession so preyed on
his mind that, coupled with his illness. It
caused him to take his life.
