One of the workmen made his way through the smoke to the little enclosure in which telephone communication had been established with the store station.

Soldier Beaten In Saloon Brawl Calls Friends, and Riot Is Narrowly Averted. VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 20. (Spe cial.) One hundred and fifty soldiers from the garrison appeared before the La Porte rooming-house shortly after 8 o'clock tonight, and demanded permission to search the place for one George Fraser, who a short time before had beaten up Corporal Acalhwell, of Battery A, in a saloon brawl. Police interfered and dis bursed the soldiers, who retired mutter ing, but who refused to leave the neigh borhood until the officer of the guard, accompanied by an armed squad, had re sponded to a hurry call and appeared to order the soldiers to the barracks. -- The trouble was the outgrowth of the Ill-feeling which has recently gained strength between the men at the garrison and the citizens of the city, and which was the basis earlier this week of a visit to the Council by 6t of the soldiers, who threatened to boytt the city if they were not accorded better treatment. Much excitement prevailed when the largo body of soldiers rushed down tho street tonight to avenge the attack on their companion, and for a while a seri ous riot was feared. -Soldier Carried Razor. VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 20. Spe cial. ) Michael Brennau. a member of one of the batteries stationed at the garrison. was picked up by Ute police tonight on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Brennau had a razor in his pocket, and had declared he would use it on any fvillan who was looking for trouble. He was turned ov?r to the officer of the day at the barracks.

He was arrested by Superintendent MInstsr, of the St. Louis Pinkerton agency, and four detectives. When he was searched, $175 was found In his pockets, but in his room about J 1000 was found together with a number of letters in cipher, which disclosed the fact that a large amount of money was "planted" In another place. Tells Where Money Is Hidden. Mr. Minster today wired the Spokane authorities information that, it is be lieved, will uncover the other conspi rators In trus plot to rob the bank and recover the money. He said the re covery of more than $10,000 stolen money depends upon a tip which has been given by Wisely. "He has told where the plant is," said ilr. Minster, "we have wired the bank in Spokane. Until we learn whether the money'is recovered Wisely must be held in custody. He has been In St. Louis since December 5, going to school, and he has used four fic titious names to throw us off the track." Thief Explains Method. Wisley admitted he had obtained $11,000 from the bank while employed as paying teller and blotter clerk. He says the flr.-t $1000 he took was in P!pu from the vault. He then, through manipula tion, had a $10,000 check entered on the books twice and lie obtained clearing house certificates for the check.

WORKMEN BURN IN TRAP (Continued Krom First r(c-. minutes after the fire broke out by an explosion of dynamite used in blasting the Intake tunnel. The result was seen whn the bodies were brought in. Many of them were but chunks of charred flesh and bono?. Onr gunnysack contained five human heads, while another contained many arms and legs. Identification of thes pitiful remnants was utterly out of the question. Of the Injured who were rescued many will die. as their burns and exposure were so severe that they cannot rally. Tonight fully half of the rescued men uffered amputations of arms or legs. Caught In Night-Clothes. The fire, whosss cause, has not been ac curately determined, broke out soon after the night shift had come out of the tunnel and retired or was preparing to retire, thus catching the v men without clothing. The crib is at the outer ex treme of one of the tunnels through , which th city is to draw its wajer sup ply. The tunnel is being bored from both directions. It was connected with the shore by an aerial railway, baskets of Iron traveling over the steel cables to carry the men back and forth and tllspaar; of the rock as it was blasted out. This slender structure wss put out of commission at the first Wast. I.a Cry for Help. It was not until the heat of the flames anil the stilling smoke penetrated the o- which failed of Its purpose, because the Governor ordered the state militia to cut down the tents sheltering the miners' evicted families and refused to permit the strikers to hold public meetings. "At no time In the history of the coun try have there Deen so many idle miners as during the past year. Under those cir cumstances It is a matter of some satin faction to be able to report that per capita tax wiia. received at the National office for thenonth of December, on 2&4.74S members "It is evident from the decision rendered by Judge Wright in the alleged contempt case of Samuel Gompers and his assist ants that the Injunction question is now to be settled by the highest courts of the land. The Injunction question is not a new one. "In the last two or three decades It has been made an Instrument of evil in its ap plication to organized labor." Secretary W. D. Ryan, in his annual re port, recommended that the Buck Stove & Range Company should be taken off the unfair list and that "the Individual members should be permitted to use their own Judgment." and that the present con vention should thoroughly consider the case He read a letter from John Mitchell, who said that the resolution adopted by the convention which had brought upon him his Jail sentence, had been adopted without his knowledge and without his participation, and he felt therefore that a great injustice had been done to him.

Defective wiring In a dynamo used in the plant of the East Side Publishing Company, at SM East Washington street, corner of Union avenue, caused a slight fire last night about 10 o'clock. A tele phone alarm was sent In to the Fire De partment and engine company No. 7 re sponded, putting out the flames with a bucket brigade. There was no damage done to the building, but the dynamo was practically ruined. probability of any legislation In California adverse to the Japanese have undoubtedly done much to relieve the apprehension that exists In Administration circles. It is a fact that deepest concern exists as to the future. Nothing that has hap pened recently in Congress or" elsewhere has so absorbed the attention of the President and of Secretary Root as the threatened anti-Japanese legislation in California. It was impossible for the President in his response to Governor Glllett to tell of the influences that guide him in mak ing his unprecedented protest against such action by the California Legislature. There are factors which for diplomatic reasons could not be mentioned in a let ter which was sure to be published, but which are well known to the members of the Senate and House committees on for eign affairs and which doubtless Influ enced conservative Pacific Coast men in Congress in deprecating such action as was proposed. JAPAN" BELIEVES V. S. FAIR Slight Attention Paid to California Bills by Nation. , TOKIO, Jan. 20. The Diet will con vene on January - 22. The House of I-ords will convene at 9 A. M. and the House of Commons at 1 P. M. Marquis Katsura. the Premier, will formally pie sent the recently adopted budget. The Constitutional party has agreed in cau- eii. to Riinnnrt tliA pnvprnmpnt notifies advocating the development of Japan's resources and the Improvement of con ditions In Corea and Manchuria. Count Komura will speak shortly on foreign re lations and the recent agreement between Japan and the United States. It Is an nounced that questions regarding the postponement of the Toklo Exposition will be vigorously pushed In the House of Commons. It is believed that friends of Count Kaneko have prepared a vig orous opposition campaign. It Is believed here among officials and others that the introduction of anti-Japanese bills in the California Legislature and the subsequent attempt to create- the impression that Americans and Jap anese are much aroused. Is merely a con tinuation of a plan originally determined upon to insure such unfriendliness be tween the United States and Japan that talk of war will be continued Indefinitely. An official of the Foreign Office, speak ing to the Associated Press, said: "We are absolutely convinced that the people of the State of California and of the United States will always act fairly toward Japan." Ambassador O'Brien was a guest of honor at a dinner given by Foreign Min ister Kumura today, and conversed at length with the Foreign Minister regard ing the entire situation. He said after ward that their informal conversation was satisfactory. Ambassador O'Brien's activity is having a favorable effect In Influencing the situation In the direction of friendliness between tl.e two nations. Hotel Portland J. H. Balllnuer. Seattle S. D.
