STRIKE AT KELLY BUTTE
Itix-kplle Squad on Urend and Water
Diet.
Korty-two hours on a diet of bread

Kiltie's members of the "Independent
Order of Shunners of Toll." to resume
the duties preserved by the County
of Multnomah. Since Monday they
h.ive been confined In the dormitory at
the Futte. nnd have been restricted
in their diet to two slices of bread for
ra.h meal. They drink all the water
they please.
The "Slmnners of Toil" went on
strike Monday noon, and their confine
ment and restricted diet arc bein en-
forced as a atrike-breaker. .t a late
hour last night, the spokesmen of the
order professed absolute confidence as
to the outcome and declared that the
prisoners will be satisfied to live for
an Indefinite period Of time on breart
and water rather than yield In their
aemanas. I
T'-ie strike was declared as a result I
of the refusal of Superintendent Brings
to release from th dungeon Tom Kin
ney, a vagrfnt, sentenced by Municipal
Judge Van Zante to SO days' service
' on the rockplle. Kinney musi iih
' been a charted member of the order.
for. despite the handicap of a recent,
sentence, he'made the elder and more
experienced "Shunrers of Toil' look
like rank novices -when It came to slde
stepDlng work. His cleverness In that
line attracted the immediate attention
of Superintendent Briggs. who sought
by various prodding methods to sepa
rate him from his ennui.
But Kinney objected, resisted, and is
said to have attacked the officer with
a weapon. Briggs. however, quickly
overpowered and disarmed him, and
threw him irlto the dungeon.
"I am sure It wai an organized plot,
said Superintendent Briggs last night,
"and has been carefully worked out.
The men had agreed among themselves
to quit work on the slightest provo
cation and thought that In this way
they could serve out their time with
out doing any labor. But I think they
will reconsider the matter very short

FREE SCHOOLS DEMANDED

Cheers fnlted States Wants
Annexation of Island.
HOIST AMERICAN FLAG.
PARIS. Nov. IS. The Temps this
afternoon publishes a dispatch from
St. Pierre Mlquelon. the French
Island off the coast of Newfoundland,
saying thst there has been a big
manifestation In St. Pierre in favor
of free schools. The movement was
created by the Clerical party. The
people got out of hand and made
their way to the house of the Gov
ernor, where they raised aloft the
American flar.
ST. PIERRE. Nov. 18. The demonstra
tion against' the authorities here, which
was begun yesterday, was continued to
day. The limited police force Is urahle
to maintain order, but thus far no ser
ious damage haa been done.
The manifestation on the part of the
populace is due largely to the school
question. The people of St. Pierre de
mand free schools In which religious In
struction is given. .
Two schoolmasters were taken Into
court, charged with having violated the
laws In conducting free schools. They
were convicted nnd ordered to pay a
fine of -0u each. The authorities or
dered the schools closed.
The action of the authorities inflamed
the populace, which assembled on the
streets and violently denounced the
French government. Some one obtained
an American flag during the height of
the excitement and with, it the crowd
marched, to the government headquarters
where a noisy demonstration was made.
ST. JOHNS. N. F.. Nov. 17. Dis
patches from St. Pierre tonight say
that the situation there is serious.
There are only three policemen In the
entire island, the population of which
is about B000. It Is understood here
that should violence be attempted, the
British warship Brilliant, now in St.
Johns harbor, will be sent to the
French town. France has no war
ship nearer St. Pierre than Brest and
the Went Indies.
The St. Pierre dispatches say that
the crowd which marched to the
government house yesterday numbered
1000 and that It also visited the Amer
ican consulate and cheered the United
States.
Placards bearing the words, "Lib
erty or death." have been posted on
the doors of the closed schools by the
church party.
The belief is held that, should the
French government refuse to recon
sider its action, the annexation party
at St. Pierre will endeavor to induce
the United States to purchase the
colony.
PLANS EXTENSIONS TO LINE
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company to Expend $500,000.
Extensive improvements are planned
to the city and suburban system of the
Pacitic Telephone & Telegraph Company.
C. W. Burkett, chief engineer, of San
Francisco, accompanied by E. S. Murray,
general superintendent of the company,
a refill the city and are working on plans
for betterments to be accomplished during
the coming 12 months. Cables are to be
put in throughout the city and central
office equipment to be installed costing
JS00.WX).
One big improvement that will be made
will be the installation of a toll switch
board at the West Park and Alder street
central office.
This is the first city on the Coast
to have loaded cables. They are
supplied with Pupin colls, which over
come difficulties in transmitting the
voice over cables. They serve to repeat
the voice and result in much 'improved
service. The new cables to be in
stalled will aiso enable the company to
do away with a large number of the party
lines, which are being abandoned as fast
as possible. 1
Improvements to the St. John office are
planned that will make it as modern aa
any of the suburban stations, which are
now thoroughly up-to-date.
Work will be continued on putting the
telephone wires In the business district
underground. It is the intention of the
company to keep this branch of the con
struction department actively at work.
Aside from the work provided for in the
appropriation of $500,000, the construction
of long distance lines will continue dur
ing the year.

PISTOL MYSTERY COMPLETE
Coroner's Investigation Falls to
Show How Haas Secured Gun.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18. The In
vestigation held today by Coroner Le
land preparatory to the inquest on the
body of Morris Haas, developed several
interesting Incidents. The body of Haas
a exposed-to the Jurymen and the pis
tol with which Haas ended his life was
placed in one of the congress gaiters
which the dead man had on at the time
he killed himself. Each Juryman was
lnsructed to pass his hand over the
shoe, as a searcher would have done,
and all said that they could not have
failed to notice the presence of the wea
pon. District Attorney I-angdon. Chief of
Police Biggy. Detective Burns, Police
Commissioner Cutler and Police Cap
tains Duke and Kelly were all present
at the investigation. Detective Sergeant
1 nomas r. cum l-kau mo mv en liga
tion with a demonstration of how It waa
alleged Haas had secured the Derringer
by hiding it In his shoe.
-Mr. Burns started to question Mr.
Burke, when he waa interrupted by J.
J. Webb, an attorney. This precipitated
questions as to Mr. Webb's connection
with the matter, the latter stating that
he had been hired to watch for certain
interests, but refused to state who had
hired him. The Coroner finally declared
that Mr. Webb had no right to take
part in the Investigation and ordered
him to remain silent.
. Later an attorney, J. H. Seymour, of
Los Angeles, who was first employed
by Mrs. Haas, but whose present con
nection, with the affair is not clearly
shown, attempted to enter into the pro
ceedings, eliciting a sharp attack from
Mr. Langdon. the District Attorney, who
asked Chief Blggy if he thought him
self on trial, intimating thereby his be
lief that "Mr. Seymour or Mr. Webb or
both of them had been retained by Mr.
Biggy.
The inquest on Haas' body will be
held Thursday and In the meantime the
body will repose in the receiving vaults
of the Oddfellows' Cemetery, as the
Coroner ordered tonight that it should
r.ot be buried or cremated until after the
jurv had rendered its verdict.
i The investigation threw little or no
light on the mooted question as to the
time and manner in which Haas secured
the 'weapon with which he killed him
self. The proceedings of the Coroner's
jury are awaited with great interest, as
It is believed the struggle betwen the
detectives of the graft prosecution and
the city police force will come to a head
at that time. '
Mr. Burns and Captain of Police Duke,
both of whom searched Haas at the
courtroom Immediately after the shoot
ing of Mr. Heney. remain firm in their
declaration that the prisoner did not have
the Derringer in his possession at that
time, while the Jail authorities say that
It was not passed to him while he was
in their custody.

Two masked men held up car 424 of
the "S' line last night about 11:30, near

The police think these men' are the
Fame who held up the Brooklyn car the
night before. One wore a blue polka

other a black mask. One wore a dark

DECOYED BY CLEVER RUSE
French Lieutenant Pays Death Pen
alty for Deceiving Beautiful
Woman Anonymous Letter
Discloses His Baseness.
WARSAW, Nov. 18. (Special.) Much
scandal has been caused in society cir
cles in Warsaw by a drama of jealousy,
in which a betraj-ed wife shot her
husband on the very threshold of his
paramour's dwelling. Some time ago a
Russian Lieutenant named Menschikoff
fell deeply In love with an extremely
beautiful lady, who graced the most
exalted circles of Russian society in
the Polish capital. Although his social
status was by no meana commensurate
with that of the object of his affection,
he managed to Inspire her with a re
ciprocal passion, and, overcoming all
the objectiuns of the lady's family,
was united to her In wedlock. For
some time all went well, and the youns,
couple lived a life of unclouded felic
ity. Profoundly enamored of her of
ficer husband, the lady reposed in him
the blindest confidence. He however
at last began to sigh for the freedom
of his bachelor days, found more at
traction in his club than at the domes
tic hearth and soon began to return
home at outrageously late hours.
Dcce'.ved Ills Wife.
At the beginning of this regime he
told his wife that his military duties
compelled liim to spend the night at
the barracks. But after a while he
did not trouble to give any excuse
for his neglect, and the unfortunate
wife in her hours of solitude could
only suspect that her husband had
found some new attraction. She wept
and implored, but all In vain, as the
Lieutenant, intent on his latest amours,
paid not the least heed to her, and an
swered lier only with evasive excuses.
One day Madame Menschikoff re
ceived an anonymous letter. "Your hus
band, ' the writer said, "is deceiving
you. He has illicit relations with a
shop girl who lives In Nlzhagasse." This
cruel epistle Ttad a tremendous impres
sion on the neglected wife, who was,
however, at first unwilling to believe
it. But when her husband returned in
the morning In a very bad temper she
could no longer contain her anger, and
asked him where he had been. "That,"
he replied brutally, "does not concern
you." "On the contrary," she insisted,
"it does concern me. I am your wife,
and I have a right to know where you
spend your nights." Without saying
another word. Lieutenant Menschikoff
waiked towards his bedroom, and she
followed. "You will not tell me?" she
inquired. "Very well. I shall tell you.
You come from the arms of your lover."
"Who told you that?" the Lieutenant
shouted. "I learned it from a letter,"
his wife replied." "Bah! you' take no
tice of anonymous letters?" "Yes. Be
cause your conduct confirms them. I
know that your mistress is an employe
in a shop."
Knocks Woman Down.
Lieutenant Menshikoff was startled
for a moment by the accuracy of her
knowledge, and with an oath he com
manded her to be silent. "No." she
continued, "I will not be silent. You
are an infamous creature to despise
me for the sake of a woman like that."
The opprobrious term roused the offi
cer to a paroxysm of fury. "Don't in
sult her!" he yelled. "Why not?" his
wife asked. "Because," the officer re
plied. "I love her more than I do you."
"Very good." said the wife, speaking
quite calmly. "I repeat she is a bad
woman." Completely maddened, the of
ficer stiuck his wife, who fell to the
ground. Shortly afterwards he left the
house. .
Stretched on the bed the outraged wife
shed floods of bitter tears. All her hopes
of happiness had disappeared forever.
Gradually, however, her grief gave way
to anger and thoughts of revenge. The
thought that her husband had struck her
for the sake of a worthless woman ofp
no character caused the blood to freeze
In her veins. She would be revenged.
"He shall die." she murmured to herself
with cold resolution. On Sunday last the
forsaken wife left the house, whither her
husband had not returned, and hired a
carriage. She was dressed In black, a
thick veil hiding her face. She ordered
the driver to stop in the Nizhasasse.
Soon the Lieutenant appeared twirling

his .mustaches and walking with the j
jaunty step of conquering Don Juan. .
He crossed the street and looked upwards I
to a window on the second floor. A wo
man was there. re,d haired and rather
stout, "not half so beautiful as I am."
said Mme. Menschikoff. who saw every
thing from her carriage window. "Why
should he prefer her to me?"
Fires Fatal Shots.
Lieutenant Menschikoff entered the
house, and his' wife alighting from the
carriage ran after him, but could not
catch him up. She ascended to the sec
ond floor and knocked. A servant an
swered through the closed door that she
could not enter. Neither the gentleman
nor the lady were visible. Mme. Men
schikoff returned to the street, and call
ing to the coachman said: "Go up to the
second floor of this house and asked for
Lieutenant Menschikoff. If he comes tell
him that his Colonel orders him to re
turn to barracks immediately orr urgent
business." The coachman obeyed, and
a few minutes later the Lieutenant ap
peared in the street. A veiled woman
stopped him.
"Where have you been?" she inquired.
In a voice trembling with pent-up fury
"Where I choose." he replied. "Was it
you who brought me out here on a false
errand?" "Yes, I wanted to surprise
you with your mistress.'" "Fool.'' said
the Lieutenant, shrugging bis shoulders.
"Go home. I do not want any scenes in
the street." "And you?" she asked. "I
am going back to where I was." "No,"
she rejoined, "for I will prevent you."
"How?" asked the Lieutenant with a
sneer. "Thus." The infuriated wife
stepped back a couple of paoes and her
right hand leveled a revolver. Twice the
staccato crack of the weapon was heard.
Wounded in the breast and one temple,
the officer fell to the ground dying.
At the sound of the reports several
police agents hurried to the scene, and
on seeing a woman dressed h black hold
ing a revolver over a wounded officer,
they thought It was a terrorist attempt.
"You are a revolutionary." they said, dis
arming her. "No." she replied. "I am
the wife of this miserable wretch." Taken
to the police station she told the story
as related "above. She la now in prison
awaiting trial for murder.
CHIOS KISS CLEAR FIELD
NO ONE STRONG ENOUGH TO
DEFEAT HIM IN HOUSE.
Illinois Congressman, With Burton
and Hepburn Out of Way, Will
Be Re-elected Speaker.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 17. Representative Burton,
of Ohio, says he will not enter the Speak
ership race against Mr. Cannon. That
announcement, taken in conjunction with
the defeat of Representative. Hepburn, of
Iowa, means that Cannon will again be
chosen Speaker, for the opposition . has
no leader big enough and strong enough
to prevent the re-election of "Uncle Joe."
It has been known for some time that
Cannon could be defeated by only two
men. Burton or Hepburn, and then only
on condition the anti-Cannon men con
trolled enough Republican votes to dead
lock the Republican caucus. It turns out
that the opposition not only lacks the
strength, but It now lacks a leader, and
no movement in tlie House of Represen
tatives ever ended otherwise than dis
astrously when led by an Incompetent,
inconsequential member.
Representative Fowler, of New Jersey,
thinks he can lead the anti-Cannon farces
to victory; Representative TownsendUof
Michigan, is said to hold similar views,
and Walter Smith, of Iowa, has come to
regard . himself as the Moses chosen to
lead the House from under the bondage
imposed by Cannon. Not one among the
trio is big enough to defeat Cannon.
Fowler Is an isolated figure in the House,
and always has been; Smith is numbered
among the nonentities; "Townsend alone
has shown independence and strength, but
even he Is too young and untried to make
him . a successful leader against such a
man as Cannon.
The only hope of the opposition lay in
the possibility of electing Burton or Hep
burn, and since Hepburn will not even be
a member of the next House, and since
Burton will not enter the race, as he Is
going after Senator Foraker's seat, there
is nothing for the insurgents to do but
cast futile votes for a losing candidate,
or swallow their pride, and once more
don the Cannon yoke.
