DISTRUST OF DEMOCRACY
Should First Obtain Referendum
Vote of Federation, Say Union
Officials Labor Editor Pre
pares to Blister Him.
CHICAGO, Juiy IS. (Special.) The
efforts ot Samuel Gompers, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, to swing the labor jote in line for
William Jennings Bryan has created a
atlr in Chicago labor circles, and it was
predicted today that Mr. Gompers will
be called to task in a severe manner at
the next convention of the National labor
body for his political activity.
There is a deep-rooted feeling that Mr.
Gompers has taken a most ill-advised
step In singing the prales of the Demo
cratic party. In his official capacity, it
is declared, he should refrain from
aligning himself with any side in a politi
cal conflict or intimating that the labor
vote will be cast in a certain direction.
If he has any aspirations toward leading
the union hosts in political affairs, labor
leaders assert, he should first obtain by a
referendum vote among all organizations
allied with the American Federation an
expression of their sentiments on the
Question.
Charles Dold, president of the Interna
tional Union of Piano, Organ & Musical
Instrument "Workers, is preparing a blis
tering editorial for the next issue of that
organization's official Journal castigating
Mr. Gompers for his political methods.
"I take no stock in the promises of
the Democratic party," said Steve Sum
mer, business agent of the Milk Wagon
Drivers' Union. "Talk is cheap, but
keeping promises is another thing."
WARNED TO KEEP HANDS OFF
Lewis Tells 'Gompers Miners Will
Vote as They Please.
DENVER. July 19. (Special.) Thomas
J. Lewis. National president of the United
Mine Workers of America, has served
notice on Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, to
keep hands off the mine workers in a
political way and not attempt to use the
power of his position to win votes for W.
J. Bryan in Mr. Lewis' organization.
"The coal mine workers of the country
will decide for themselves how they will
vote next November." said Mr. Lewis.
"The labor movement of the United
States Is not committed to partisan poll
tics. What the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor Is going
to do I am not In a position to say.
"The Mine Workers oT America, as an
organisation, is not committed to any
political party. Its conventions have de
clared In favor of supporting laboring
men for legislative positions. The con
stitution of the Mine Workers gives au
thority to its members to aspire to legis
lative positions under any party name
without any particular political affilia
tion. The coal mine workers of the
country. In my opinion, will decide for
themselves how they will vote next No
vember." '
Mr. Lewis left tonight for Chicago.
TOO BLSV TO DISCL'SS HEARST
Gompers Denies Cablegram While
Refusing Appeal to Labor.
ERIE. Pa.. July 19. (Special.) Samuel
Gompers said today:
"I never sent any message of any kind
touching the present National political
situation to William R. Hearst. You
have my word for that."
Mr. Gompers was reported to have
asked the Independence League to In
dorse, the candidacy of Bryan, on ac
count of the Democratic attitude on
labor Questions.
"At the present time," he said, "I can
not discuss the message of Mr. Hearst
in reply to a message I never sent. I
am too busy with more important
things."
Mr. Gompers. It was ascertained to
night, will make his appeal to the great
army of workers in the American Fed
eration of Labor to support Mr. Bryan
for the Presidency next week. There
are about 2,WO,000 members of the Fed
eration and more than half of them are
aid to be voters. They have never be
fore used their organization to bring
about the election of a President and
there are likely to be lively times when
Mr. Gompers urges them to take off
their coats and work for Mr. Bryan.
PREVENTS MANY STRIKES
Canadian Industrial Disputes Act
Reported to Work Well.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-That the
Canadian industrial disputes Investlgaton
act for the prevention of strikes affect
ing public Interests has accomplished the
main purpose for which it was enacted
Is the conclusion drawn after a special
investigation of the workings of the law
by Dr. Victor H. Clark, for the Bureau
of Labor. In a report made public today.
From March 22. li-07. when the art went
Into effect, to January 15, 190S. 30 dis
putes became subject to investigation,
and Ir. SS cases strikes were averted pr
mded.
The law prohibits a cessation of Indus
try under penalties until. tv the Inves
tigation by an official board the public is
Informed of the grounds of the contro
versy, reliance being placed upon public
opinion to prevent or shorten such dis
turbances. The law provides for boards
of conciliation and investigation.
Dr. Clark reports that no employer was
found who a not favorable to the law
as better than no legislation, as far as It
applied to the railroads and that there is
some sentiment In Its favor among the
rank and lile of the workers, though
some representative labor leaders are
opposed to it. Its effect has been to
cause the public to take interest In many
Industrial disputes quite as Immediate
and important as that of the conflicting
parties. Apparently the law has not
affected adversely the condition of the
working men or of Industries where ap
plied. TAFT GOOD FOR 30,000
Lieutenant-Governor Coon of Wash
ington Makes Prediction.
Lieutenant-Governor Charles E. Coon,
of the state of Washington, was in Port
land Saturday on his way" to his home
in Port Townsend, having been in at
uance at the meeting of the State
LA6Q
GRIP
Press Association during the week In
Vancouver. The Lieutenant-Governor has
been a prominent figure in his state for
several years past, and believes Wash
ington will do itself proud, from a Re
publican standpoint at the Fall election.
"Taft and Sherman will certainly have
a majority of upwards of 30.000 In the
state of Washington," said Mr. Coon to
The Oregonian. "The Republicans of our
state are united and enthusiastic, and
every Republican vote will be cast for
the ticket. On the other hand, there are
hundreds of conservative Democrats
there, men of prominence, too, who are
opposing Bryan as strongly today as they
ever have in the past. There is nothing
whatever in the talk of the labor vote
lining up for Bryan, in the state of Wash
ington, at least, for I am personally well
acquainted with a number of labor
leaders who are Republicans and who
will support Taft. These men assure me
the labor voters who are Republicans
will all support the Republican National
ticket and that they will do it with en
thusiasm." Speaking of the approaching direct
primary election in Washington, Mr.
Coon said the primary law of that state
is as yet In its experimental stage, this
being the first state -election under it.
It is quite different in essential par
ticulars from the Oregon law, notably
in requiring both a first and second
choice vote to be cast where there are
more than three candidates for a state
office, and in the non-partisan judicial
ticket. These two features make it
Quite impossible to compare the prob
able operations of the law with the
workings of the Oregon law.
Mr. Coon is engaged in the mencan
tlle business at Port Townsend. where
he has lived for the past 12 years. He
is at present serving his third succes
sive term as president of the Wash
ington State Grocers' Association, and
was for four years Mayor of Port
Townsend. Previous to coming to
Washington he had been In the Gov
ernment service at Washington, D. C.,
where he rose to the position of As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
much of the time" being acting Secre
tary of the Treasury. He is a native
of New York, and in one campaign was
the Republican nominee for Congress,
his opponent being General Dan Sick
les. When a boy he served in the
Civil War and was among the original
members of the Grand Army.
Lieutenant-Governor Coon is a candi
date for renomination at the September
primary election, but he declined to
discuss his own candidacy. At the
meeting of the State Press Association
he made quite a hit with the editors by
pointing out to them how they could
secure legislation in the Interest of
legal publications.
MELBA'S SON ASKS D1VQRCE
FORMER OREGON BOY AND HIS
YOUNG WIFE ESTRANGED.
Counter Charges Involving a Co-respondent
Are Filed Against
Husband in Paris.
PARIS, July 19. (Special.) Friends of
Mme. Melba were surprised today to
learn that divorce proceedings had been
begun by George Armstrong, son of the
operatic star, against the beautiful girl he
married less than two years ago, and
that the young husband has been named
as co-respondent in another suit. Law
yers have already been retained in be
half of Mrs. Armstrong, who has brought
a counter-suit. Mme. Melba expressed
herself as unalterably opposed to the
marriage when her son announced his
intention. Her objection was on account
of the youthfulness of the ' prospective
bride and groom.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Armstrong
was Miss Ruby Otway, daughter of Sir
Jocelyn Otway, owner of the famous
Tufton collection of paintings. Young
Armstrong had lived with his father on
a cattle ranch in the state of Oregon
until his' mother took him to London a
few years ago. He lived In England from
that time on, dividing his time between
college, Mme. Melba's home in London
and her country home on the Thames.
George Armstrong was separated from
his mother In childhood and was brought
up by his father as a cowboy In Klamath
County, Oregon, Ignorant of her identity.
A few years ago, when his mother was in
San Francisco, she felt a longing to see
him. and sent for him. At that time he
had reached manhood and then learned
for the first time that his mother was the
famous prima donna. She persuaded him
to accompany her to London and intro
duced him to theatrical society, where he
met the woman whom he is now suing
for divorce.
KILLS WATTS' PET DEER
Animal Escapes From Yard and Is
Shot by Neighbor.
For the first time In years the authori
ties were called upon yesterday to act In
the case where a young deer had been
killed in this city, which is a violation
of the state laws. The animal was a pet
owned by Attorney. John Watts, of the
Alisky building who resides in Arleta and
was kept by the Watts family in their
yard. It was the delight of the young
people of the neighborhood and was high
ly valued by Mr. Watts.
Yesterday morning the deer got out of
the yard and wandered off a block or
two. A man named O'Neill was sitting
on his front porch and saw it coming.
Rushing for his revolver he fired two
shots and killed It. He then took the
carcass into his home.
The news of the killing was telephoned
to Mr. Watts, who after Identifying the
animal applied for a warrant at the
Justice's Court for O'Neill's arrest. This
was issued and Deputy Constable Sig
Wertheiiner went to the shooter's home
and placed him under arrest, receiving
bail for hLj appearance on Monday in
the Justice's Court.
In this county the Constable Is a
Deputy Game Warden, so the dead ani
mal which was found in the man's house
was confiscated and placed In cold stor
age on Front street, where it will be kept
as evidence and returned to its owner
after the case is disposed of. The kill
ing of the deer is no light matter, as the
minimum punishment under the law is a
fine of H'tt.
HOLY LANDJSJ0T BARREN
Zionists Deny That Palestine Son
Will Not Produce. .
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. July 19. Spe
cial.) Emphatic denial was made In the
convention of the American Federation
of Zionists that Palestine was wholly a
sterile country and that it was incapable
of being made productive, by Professor
O. Marburg, chairman of the Palestine
Commission, who explained what work
had been done In planting colonies ot
Hebrews in the land of the forefathers
of the race. Merchant Jackson, of Pitts
burg, a wealthy resident there, made a
tour of Palestine in a carriage and on
a mount with a view of securing personal
information as to the conditions which
exist in the Holy Land. Several celonies
of transplanted Hebrews are sow in Ju
da, and. ibt y axe thriving.
MANY GRAVE TOPICS
Roosevelt Confers on Hondu
ras and Paper Trust.
WILL MAKE NO SPEECHES
Mexican Ambassador and Bacon
Consulted on Central American
Troubles May Order the
Paper Trust Prosecuted.
OYSTER BAY, July 19.-A confer
ence, having, it is believed, an impor
tant bearing on the serious condition
existing in Central America, was held at
Sagamore Hill yesterday. Those partici
pating, besides President Roosevelt, were
the Mexican Ambassador to the United
States; W. I. Buchanan and Assistant
Secretary of State Bacon. These three
gentlemen are over-Sunday guests of the
President and their deliberations on the
Central American situation will occupy a
considerable portion of the intervening
time.
Mr. Bacon, when shown a dispatch
from Mexico City today on an article of
Dr. Herman Prowe, in which it was said
that the result of Pesident Cabrera's
rule or ruin policy In Guatemala would
be the establishment of a protectorate
over that country either Jointly by the
United States and Mexico or by one of
those nations individually, said:
"There Is nothing in that etory; It's a
pipe dream."
Confers on Paper Trust.
The' President today held a conference
with Attorney-General Bonaparte on the
appeal which Herman Bidder recently
made to the President In behalf of the
American Newspaper Publishers' Asso
ciation to restrain the news print paper
manufacturers from combining and main
taining high prices may be the subject
of the conference. The appeal was made
direct to the President, who turned the
matter over to the Department of Justice,
One of the matters which Mr. Roose
velt and the Attorney-General discussed
in their conference was the selection of a
man to succeed Milton D. Purdy as As
sistant Attorney-General. Mr. Purdy's
recent appointment as Judge oi the Dis
trict Court of Minnesota left that post
vacant. Wade Ellis, present Attorney
General of Ohio, has been spoken of as
the possible successor - of Mr. Purdy.
Secretary Loeb said after the consulta
tion that no decision had been reached.
Make Neutrality Law Stronger.
Mr. Bonaparte talked with the Presi
dent on the neutrality laws with Mexico,
which he believes should be revised and
made stronger, and on the whisky con
troversy resulting from the operation of
the pure food laws. The President is
seeking to have them rigidly enforced.
The efforts of the Nebraska Re
publicans to induce the President
to go to Nebraska and make
several speeches during the coming cam
paign will not be successful, according to
Mr. Loeb. When asked whether the
President would go to Nebraska, he
reiterated what he said several days ago
that Mr. Roosevelt would make no cam
paign speeches this Fall.
PRUNES FOR BLUEJACKETS
Navy Will Use More of a Staple Ore
gon Product.
WASHINGTON, July 19. (Special.)
Arrangements are being' made by the
Paymaster-General of the Navy for pro
visioning the ships of the Pacific fleet,
due to leave about August 24 for a trip
to Honolulu, Samoa and' Magdalena Bay.
There are about 9000 men to be pro
visioned and the period to be covered by
the voyage Is about four months. It is
expected that two of the auxiliaries at
tached to the command will be used In
carrying dry provisions. Incidentally It
may be noted that that steadfast edi
ble, the prune, a staple Oregon product,
is marked for improvement. It is like
ly to be purchased hereafter in com
pressed form, put up in tins containing
about a gallon each, with an average of
30 prunes Instead of 70, as under present
specifications. This means that the new
prune will be larger than Its predecessor;
besides it will possess a fine flavor and
be accompanied by sirup both thick and
sweet, making it unnecessary to use
sugar In serving.
If results are satisfactory the new
prune will be added to the Navy ration.
Oregon is rasing the best and largest
prunes in the world and will benefit ac
cordingly. Several big problems in provisioning
the Navy are still being worked out.
The Bureau of Supplies and Accounts
has under consideration a -plan for ship
ping stores to Cavite for the Atlantic
fleet. Articles such as tinned vegetables,
tinned fruits, tinned meats, dried fruits
and certain other staple articles will be
purchased and sent from the United
States. A certain quantity of the re
maining provisions will be shipped by
army transports sailing from the Pacific
Coast in October, if space Is available, or
if otherwise, by merchant vessels. The
authorities are asking for dates upon
which it is possible to obtain deliveries
from various contracting firms and for
the freight rates which it will be neces
sary to meet In the transportation of
supplies from the Eastern and Western
coasts.
It is probable that most of the meats
will be obtained from Australian sources.
Dried vegetables and powdered eggs have
met with favor in the cruise of the At
lantic fleet and will be largely used in
the future.

STUDENTS VISIT ZEPPELIN
Jflne Hundred Pay Respects to In
ventor and See Airship.
FRIEDERICHSHAFEN. ' July 19.
Nine hundred students of Tubingen Uni
versity arrived here today to pay their
respects to Count Zeppelin. For the
first time since he began his aeronautical
experiments, the Count abrogated his
rule of rigid exclusion of rhe public from
his workshop and the balloon hall. To
day he personally conducted the students
through the hall, making detailed ex
planations with regards to his airship.
Several times Count Zeppelin warned
the students to walk only two abreast,
owing to the narrowness of the plat
forms, but the eager crowd behind
pushed forward, fearing that they might
not hear the Count's talk, and some 30
of the men in the front lines were
pushed into the lake. Count Zeppelin
treated the matter Jovially and ordered
the workmen to rescue the involuntary
bathers.
Repairs of the balloon will be finished
in less than two weeks and a new stock
of gas has already begun to arrive from
Frankfort.

ITALIAN BOY BADLY HURT
MIKE AMATO FALLS UXDER
WHEELS OF WAGON.
Taken to Hospital With His Head
Crushed and Other Injuries Sus
tained Driver Blameless.
Mike Amato. a little Italian- boy 10
years of age who resides with his parents
at 666 Sixth street, is a patient in the
North Pacific Sanatorium, hanging be
tween life and death, as the result of
an accident Saturday afternoon about 2
o'clock which, from all accounts, seems
to have been the fault of the boy himself.
He was run over by a heavy wagon
owned by G. Costanza, a dirt contractor,
and sustained a fracture of the skull, a
broken arm, and serious contusions about
the trunk. He was removed to the hos
pital in the Red Cross ambulance, where
he was operated on immediately by Dr.
S. H. Sheldon, who found that a deep de
pression had been made on one side of
the head. Particles of the skull were re
moved, leaving the brain exposed.
The operation was a delicate and dan
gerous one, but was deemed the only
way to save the lad's life. At a late
hour he was still living, but It was said
that it would be only a question of a
few days before he must succumb to his
injuries. Dr. Sheldon expressed little hope
that he would recover and said that the
operation had been undertaken as the one
chance in a thousand to save his life.
From all accounts the accident, which
occurred on Sheridan street between Sec
ond and Third, was due to the boy's try
ing to steal a ride while the driver was
not looking. He clambered over the tail
gate of the wagon and as it passed over
a rough place in the street lost his bal
ance and fell between the body of the
wagon and one of the rear wheels. His
body was crushed into the narrow space
and the force of the revolving'wheel drew
him through to the ground, injuring his
head and body in a terrible manner. The
team went only a few feet and was
stopped. '
