Gives X'p Revolver, After Being
Placed in the County Jail.
OREGON CITY. Or.. May in. (Spe
cial.) After beinjr shot in the fore
arm this afternoon. Thomas Tmaroj. a
Slavonian, barricaded the doors of his
house and kept a posse of nine men at
bay for nearly an hour, but they finally
rushed the house, broke in the door
and captured the man, who is appar
ently demented and had been wandering-
in the woods for three weeks.
Tmaroj was formerly an inmate of
the insane asylum, being" sent there
last Fall, and for some time thereafter
his wife and two children, who were
destitute, were cared for by neighbors.
When Tmaroj returned he worked in
the paper mill, but last month he
threatened to kill two of the employes
of the mill and brandished a knife.
A warrant was sworn out for his ar
rest, but ho fled to avoid capture,
though Officers Miles and Bradley iired
11 shots after him. Today he returned
home, iilli rl y fatigued and half starved
by his long: stay in the woods, and
Iepuiy Sheriff Baker headed a party
to accomplish his arrest,
Tmaroj met them at the door with
an ax and defied them to enter, when
a member of the party wounded him
and finally he was secured and landed
in the Count y Jail, where he calmly
took a revolver from his pocket and
handed the weapon, which lie made no
attempt to use, to his captors.

PROVIDES FOR EXTRADITION
Proposed Treaty Prohibits Capital
Punishment for Fugitives.
WASHINGTON. May "13. An extradi
tion treaty between the United States
and Portugal was the subject of nearly
three hours' debate in executive ses
sion of the Senate yesterday, the dis
cussion fina !ly turning on the subject
of slate rights.
The treaty contains a provision which
stipulates that a criminal extradited
from Portugal shall not be subject to
capital punishment.
Senator Teller raised the point that
to ratify the treaty with such a pro
vision would be to say that a man
guilty of first-degree murder could not
be executed if such a man had taken
refuge in Portuguese territory and
later w;is surrendered to the United
Stales under the treaty..
Other Senators on the Democratic
side took the same stand. Several Ue
imhliran Senators likewise criticised
the provision. The treaty went over.
A naturalization treaty with Portugal
was ratified.

Convention Completes Session at En
gene McMinnville Selected as
Jfcxt Meeting "Place.
EUGENH, Or.. May 15. (Special.) The
State Grange convention came to an end
today, after a busy session of reports
and resolutions. McMinnville was se
lected as the next place of meeting.
Five hundred dollars was appropriated
to employ legal talent to assist the Attorney-General
in denfending the suit
brought to annual the initiative- and
referendum law. The local option and
truancy laws were Indorsed and a re
quest .made that they be made .more ef
fective by their enforcement.
. There was a lengthy debate oh the
subject of proportional representation In
the National Grange and the state mas
ter was instructed to take the matter to
that body and work for Its adoption.
Civil Service for Fruit Inspectors.
In the matter of appointment of fruit
inspectors the legislative committee was
instructed to draft a bill requiring appli
cants to pass a civil service examination
before a board of three examiners in
each county, who shall be appointed by
the State Fruit Inspector.
The two fish bills now before the
voter? came up for consideration. A
resolution favoring the opening and pro
tection of all the spawning grounds of
the Upper Columbia and the removing of
ail flshwheels and traps was adopted by
a majority vote, after a debate lasting
nearly an hour.
The special committee on assessment
and taxation, appointed last year, made
an extended report, whiith was approved,
and the committee continued another
year, with instructions to pursue its In
vestigations as far as possible with a
view to a tax law suitable to the needs
of every county.
The Grange also adopted a recommen
dation by the state master that the ap
portionment of assessments for road
work should be 25 per cent by the state.
60 per cent by the county and 15 per cent
by the district The report would leave
the levy to the' state and restrict county
boards from making the same. It would
also tax special interests using the
county roads or make them keep roads
in repair wherever damaged. This would
apply to automobiles, lumber or wood
haulers. It would keep all supervisors
in office by appointment.
Now Officers Installed.
The annual memorial service of the
Grange was held for the following de
ceased members: Judge J. B. Valdo,
W. P. Anderson. Mrs. M. A. Hare. Mrs.

valley, the orchardists being benefited by
the killing off ot the wooly aphis and
other pests.

Robert Hunter Writes Open IiCtter
About Meeting of Socialists.
NT3W YORK, May 15. Three open let
ters which he has written to Governor
Hughes, to Mayor McClellaJi and to Com
missioner of Police Bingham were made
public tonight by Robert Hunter, man of
means and Socialist worker and speaker.
In them he gives what he calls a "de
tailed account of what occurred at Union
Square on the afternoon of March 28,
1808," the day of the mass meeting of the
unemployed and the explosion of Selig
Silverstein's bomb. Mr. Hunter says the
account is compiled from the statements
of eye-witnesses, mostly non-Socialists.
In his letter to Governor Hughes Mr.
Hunter suggests that the New York city
charter committee be requested to place in
the new charter "provisions that shall be
in harmony with the rights granted to
citizens by the constitution of tlie state."
Mayor McClellan is asked whether it is
the policy of the administration to sup
press peaceable assemblies by the use of
night sticks and mounted police." To
Commissioner Bingham he urges the for
mation of regulations which will make it
impossible for "future assemblies of a
peaceable character to be treated brutally
by your subordinates."
Mr. Hunter marshals a mass of news
paper clippings and other documentary
evidence to support his assertion that "a
quiet and orderly gathering was broken
up and dispersed by police brutality."

IN LAKE WASHINGTON.
Barking Attracts Man, Wlio Assists
Canines to Drag Woman
Onto Dry Land.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 15. (Spe
cial.) Only the sagacity of two faith
ful dogs, today noon, stood between
Mrs. Matilda Johnson, of 1909 East
Union street, and the death she courted
in the waters of Lake Washington.
The scene of the rescue is near
Madrona Park. Bruno, Mrs. Johnson's
water-spaniel, and Dude, a cocker
spaniel owned by C. F. Cushman, who
lives, near the park in a houseboat, are
the canine life-savers.
Desperately they tugged at the
struggling woman, barking for assist
ance in the meantime until help ar
rived. Mr. Cushman. dragged the
woman from the water. Later she
again waded out into the lake, but
again Cushman rescued her.
Mrs. Johnson's husband cannot give
any reason why the woman attempted
suicide, except that she may have been
temporarily unbalanced mentally. Mrs.
Johnson denies that she did try to kill
herself. Her explanation Is that her
dog, Bruno, jumped into the lake and
that she went in after him.
