WOMAN CUT IN STRUGGLE
Dozen Men Required to Overpower

of Ills Pastor.
SALISBURY. Mo.. May 24. Rev. Father
Joseph Lubeley, aged 33 years, pastor of
St. Joseph's Catholic Church of Salisbury,
was stabbed twice with a pocket knife
and perhaps fatally Injured la church
this morning by Joseph Schuette, a pros
perous farmer, living near here, who Is
believed to have, become suddenly de
mented. .
The stabbing: occurred in view of 400
worshippers, many of them women. The
injured priest was taken to a nearby
residence where his wounds were at
tended to by physicians. His condition,
is critical.
Cuts Close to Jugular Vein.
Immediately after Father Lubeley had
finished high mass, he started to leave
the church. At the door he was rushed
upon suddenly from behind by Schuette,
who stabbed him twice, felling: him.
The first blow from the knife struck
the priest in the temple and the second
cut a deep pash in the neck, Just missing
the Jugular vein.
The crazed man was about to stab the
priest a third time, when Mrs. Barbara
Ginter and John Gates, both members of
the church, caught his uplifted hand. In
the struggle which followed. Schuette
stabbed Mrs. Ginter in the hand and in
flicted a painful cut on Gates' arm.
Assailant Member of Church.
A dozen men camo to the aid of Mrs.
Ginter and Gates and overpowered
Schuette. Struggling and fighting,' he
was taken to Jail.
It is believed Schuette, who has been a
devout member of St. Joseph's Church,
became suddenly deranged and the at
tempt on Father Lubeley'a life resulted.
Lurlng the service Schuette sat in the
rear of the church. It is said he glared
constantly at the priest as if In great
Women Swoon.
Following the high mass ceremony
Father Lubeley started to leave the
church, Intending to co to a schoolhouse
near by. where he was to participate in
h meeting. The 40 worshipers were leav
ing the church, and the priest stopped m
the doorway to shake hands with a
woman.
Without warning and' before any one
could divine' his purpose, Schuette rushed
upon him with a drawn pocket-knife. It
was not until the priest had fallen, seri
ousy injured, that the parishioners real
ized what had happened. Frightened
women shrieked and several swooned.
Struggles With Captors.
Mrs. Ginter and Gates were the first to
come to the priest's rescue. They were
quickly assisted by a dozen men who
closed in on Schuette and pinlor.ed him
to the ground. Mrs. Ginter and Gates
were seriously wounded.
Schuette struggled desperately with his
captors and refused to be quieted even
when his wife and five children, who had
accompanied him to mass, hurried to his
side. He was taken to Jail struggling des
perately. Physicians who were summoned to the
house where Father Lubeley had been
taken in nn unconscious condition follow
ing the attack dressed his wounds. The
priest quickly regained his senses, and,
despite tlie wound in his throat, directed
those about him. loiter Father Lubeley
had this to say of the affair:
Lubeley Talks or Affair.
"He attacked me from behind and I
had no chance to defend myself. Fortu
nately, the first thrust of the knife grazed
my temple: it would have killed me had
it struck me direct. The doctors tell me
the second blow missed my Jugular vein
by a narrow margin.
"Schuette and I were the best of friends
and I never did anything, consciously or
unconsciously, to incur his enmity. He
must have lost his reason."
Another version of the attempted assas
sination Is that Father Lubeley had pub
licly reprimanded Schuette for attacking
a member of the congregation last Satur
day. TARE LIBIXEY TO ST. LOl'IS

not an Army (it to go to war with a

"We do not, however, need a large Army,
but should have a large skeleton , or
ganization, capable of development into
such an Army when the time comes.
"We must do all we can to increase
the efficiency of that portion of our Army
known as the National Guard. The
American fleet, though efficient, should

BUGGY HIT BY AUTO
Dr. George E. Watts
Broker, in Collision.
Leg
ON THE BASE LINE ROAD
Horse Swerves In Front of Machine,
Vehicle Is Demolished and Occu
pants Are Injured Covey's
Car Stops Just in Time.
Dr. George E. Watts, while driving
his automobile runabout Into the city
on the Base Line road yesterday aft
ernoon, collided with a buggy being
driven by a man whose Identity was
not learned last night, and both buggy
and automobile were badly wrecked.
Dr. Watts suffered a compound frac
ture of the left leg, at the knee, and
was taken to the Good Samaritan hos
pital, where his injuries were dressed,
and he was reported as resting easily.
The occupants of the buggy, a man
and wife, whose name ' Is said to be
Johnson, were reported as severely in
jured. They were taken to their home.
The accident occurred on the Base Line
road, . about three miles east of Monta
vllla, and, according to eye-witnesses,
was unavoidable. Dr. Watts, in his ma
chine, and Howard M. Covey and Gus
Ludwlg, In another car, left the Twelve
Mile House about 5 o'clock for Portland.
Dr. Watts was in the lead, and as they
approached the crossing of the O. W. P.
tracks they came suddenly upon a' buggy,
also coming toward Portland. Dr. Watts
slowed down and attempted to pass the
buggy, but the horse swerved to the
right and swung the rig directly in front
of Dr. Watts' machine. The resulting
collision smashed the buggy into kindling
wood, and the automobile turned com
pletely over, pinning the physician be
neath. Covey and Ludwig. who were following
Dr. Watts closely, narrowly missed run
ning down the disabled car. Covey threw
on the brakes so quickly that his ma
chine was stopped Instantly, and Ludwig
thrown out on top of Watts' overturned
car. Aside from a sprained arm, Lud
wig was uninjured, and with Covey and
James A. Gowanlock, another autoist,
who came up as the accident occurred,
succeeded in lifting the machine and
freeing Dr. Watts. Gowanlock took Dr.
Watts in his machine as speedily as pos
sible to Good Samaritan Hospital. He
did not learn the extent of the Injuries
to the occupants of the buggy, who were
being taken away by another auto party,
the members of which are not known.
Dr. Watts was placed under an anaes
thetic as soon as taken to the hospital
and was unable to make any statement
as to how the accident occurred. Covey
and Ludwlg did not return to the city in
time to be located last night.
Gowanlock. who was conducting a party
of pleasure-seekers out into the Gresham
district, was an eye-witness to the colli
sion, and his version of the accident is aa
follows:
"We had turned Into the Base Line
road and were on our way to the city
when we noticed the two machine ahead.
One I recognized as that of H. M. Covey
and the other as belonging to Dr. Watts.
Dr. Watts was alone in his car, while
Covey was accompanied by Gus Ludwig,
a San Francisco driver, who Is here to
participate in the races In June. Watts
was in the lead and. about three miles
from Montavilla. they came upon a buggy
proceeding in the same direction. An
other buggy was coming out from the
city, and in attempting to pass the other
buggy. Watts was forced to turn off the
road to the right.
"Just as Dr. Watts was about to pass,
the horse attached to the rig gave a leap
and swung the buggly directly In front
of Watts' machine and the collision re
sulted. Covey, in his machine, narrowly
missed running down the- overturned car
He put on his brakes and brought the ear
to a stop about five inches from the
wreck. Ludwig, who occupied a seat be
side Covey, was tossed out on top of the
Watts machine. The occupants of the
buggy were thrown out and, I believed,
severely bruised, although I am not sure
of this, for we picked up Dr. Watts and
hurried him to the hospital. Another
machine, which came up at the time,
took the man and woman to the city."
Mr. Ludwig. who was with Mr. Covey,
Is a San Francisco expert driver, and ar
rived in Portland a few days ago for the
purpose of participating in the road races
to be held under the auspices of the Port
land Automobile Club and the Rose
Festival Association on June 4. Mr. Lud
wig is not seriously hurt and will be
able to drive his car within a day or two.
Mrs. Watts is visiting in Seattle. Had
she been in Portland, it Is probable that
she would have been with her husband
and the accident might have resulted

THREATEN TO SUE
Upper River Fishermen at War
With Gillnetters.
ACUTE STAGE IS REACHED
F. A. Seufcrt Says Lower River Can
ltcrs Are Publishing False Dia
grams of Fislnvheels Which
Damage His Business.
War between gillnets and wheels in the
salmon fisheries of the Columbia River
has reached such an acute stage that
Wheelmen say gillnetters have resorted
to misrepresentation of wheels in order
to injure them before the voters of the
state. As a result, F. A. Seufert, of The
Dalles, wheelman and cannerymari, has
threatened to sue for damages, members
of the so-called Columbia River Salmon
Protective Association for publishing a
diagram representing wheels, including
Seufert's, as practically blocking passage
of salmon up the river and over Celilo
Falls. As the wheelmen are fighting
abolition of their apparatus in the elec
tion next Monday, when an abolition
bill, presented by gillnetters, will be
voted on, Mr. Seufert declares the dia
gram false and damaging to his business:
The president of the association is
George M. Orton, of Portland, and the
treasurer Is F. E. Beach. In addition
to these two, other members of the ex
ecutive committee, which is fathering
the offensive diagram, are: Jay Tuttle,
vice-president; H. M. Lorntsen of As
toria, secretary; John H. Smith and
Frank Kankonen, of Astoria; T. A.
McBride and C. G. Huntley, of Oregon
City: W. I. Vawter and D. H. Miller,
of Medford; Dr James Withycomoe, of
Corvallis: G. S. Wright, of McMinn
vllle; Charles G. Roberts, of Portland;
T. B. Kay, of Salem: James A. Lackey,
of Ontario, and William Miller, of
Burns.
Mr. Seufert thinks the members of
the committee have been imposed on
by gill-netters, and in order to prove
to tmem that wheels do not close the
river to salmon, he has offered to pay
the round-trip expenses to The Dalles
of the members of the committee for
an Inspection of the wheels, provided
they will make public their true obser
vations. He says they will find the
wheels covering but a small part of the
river's width.
"All I want told is the truth," said Mr.
Seufert yesterday. "The truth will show
that the wheels which take but 5 per cent
of the salmon catch are not exterminat
ing the salmon, as the gillnetters, who
take 65 per cent, allege. I find that none
of the members of the executive com
mittee of the association have examined
the wheels and that they are depending
wholly on the misrepresentations of the
Astoria gillnetters."
Mr. Beach says he will make the in
spection this week and Mr. Orton says
he will go to The Dalles, if he can get
away from his Portland business.
