Policemen scattered the crowd and made
several arrests.
At 10 o'clock this morning the elevated
and subway system which had
been a bulwark of strength for the
company since the strike began, became
tied up by a partial strike of its em
ployes. The trouble started when a
westbound train reached the Fortv
Fixth street station. Here the crew
deserted and the train was run to the
Sixty-ninth street terminal bv men sent
out from that point. Subsequently
other crews deserted their trains at
the Sixty-ninth street terminal. The
ticket windows were closed and the
crowds on the platform took to the

who stopped work this morning re
turned to their trains when assured of
protection.
About 100 are under treatment In
hospitals. The station houses were
filled to overflowing with persons ar
rested foy rioting.
Four hundred additional substitute
police were sworn in this morning.
Timothy OXousliry. assistant super
intendent of police, who has been in
active charge of the policing of the
city since the strike began, said today
that if necessary to preserve order
30.000 extra men would be enrolled for
rolice duty.
Threatened With Dynamite.
Benjamin Rice, the first motorman to
abandon his train, said his wife found
a note on the porch of his little home
this morning, reading:
"If you go to work we will blow up
your house." This unnerved him. "When
the train was abandoned the passen
gers set up a loud cheer, and this in
fluenced the crew to quit also.
This afternoon the Mayor ordered the
suspension of Captains Dungan and
Thompson, veterans in the city's police
force. It Is presumed they are charged
with failure to push the orders against
rioting.

shops of the R. & O. Railroad has been
ordered to take effect today. This ac
tion, it was stated at the machinists
headquarters here today. Is the result
of the Introduction of the piece work
system In the erecting departments of
the Mount Claire shops, which led to
the strike of machinists there a few
weeks ago. and what the men declare
was equivalent to a refusal of the com
psny at the conference yesterday to re

are affected. I
For the present at least the strike is !

GLEAN AMONG UNCLEAN
MANY BANISHED TO MOLOKAI
PROVED NOT LEPERS.
Old Men Beg to Return Because
Friends All Gone During

HONOLULU. June 3. After some of
them had spent 20 years of their life
in the leper station on the island of
Molokai, 10 of 11 supposed leners whr.
were returned here at the instance of
the Territorial Executive Committee
for re-examination have been free from
the disease. Of these two are boys of
6 and 7 years, but the others vary In
age from 27 to 79 and some of them
have spent many years in the settle
ment. A pathetic feature of the re-examination
Is the probability that some of the
older patients will petition to be re
turned to the Island, as they have been
shut off from the world and their
friends so long that they have no place
else to go. A few of the patients were
sent to the settlement station before
the bacteriological test for leprosy
was discovered and it is believed that
in some cases a natural cure has been
effected.
Nineteen other supposed lepers will
be brought from the settlement for re
examination In a short time.
FOUR SHOTS GET 2 BEARS
Now Seaside Nimrod Is After Cou
gar That Roams Country.
SEASIDE, Or., June 3. (Special.)
Charley House, who owns a claim on
the Necanicum 10 miles above Seaside,
had an exciting time with two .black
bears last Friday. The dogs started
the animals in the forenoon, chased
and fought them, and finally treed
them about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Four shots from a .30-30 brought them
down.
During the past three years House
has killed over 40 wildcats and nine
black bears. At present he is espe
cially anxious to capture a large cougar
that ranges the forests from Saddlef
Mountain to the Seaside House. This
animal has eluded all the hunters so
far. Ho is peculiarly daring and has
a penchant for dog meat. John Clarke,
who owns a ranch two miles this side
of Push, lost two dogs caught by the
beast.
Last Summer Ole Anderson lost a
two-year-old heifer, which he charges
to the cougar. The other cattle came
in greatly excited and the heifer was
never seen afterward.
Sam Lee, while fishing a mile above
the Seaside House, has seen the animal
twice. Billy Steinhauer ran across It
near the forks of the Elk Creek and
Push road, and it is generally regarded
as a nuisance.

FROM FRAIL
Henry Jensen and Shirley Bar
ker Perish When Canoe Cap
sizes From Overload.
THIRD LAD SEIZES CRAFT
Ell View Consents to Take Ride
When Called "Sissy" by Friends,
Who Later Lose Lives -All
Members of Rowing Clnb.
Fear on the part of one bov of being
called "sissy" led to the death of two
of his companions by drowning In the
Willamette River last night about 10
o-clock in front of the boathouse of the
Portland Rowing Club, at the foot of
Ivon avenue. Brooklyn, of which or
ganization the three youths were mem
bers. Henry Jensen, aged 19 years, son of N.
P. Jensen, 655 East Ninth street, an em
ploye of the Inman" & Poulsen lumber
mills, for which concern the boy also
worked as tallyman, and Shirley Barker,
aged 22 years, assistant caretaker of the
club and son of Mrs. S. . E. Barker, a
widow, who Uvea at 489 Union avenue, are
the victims. Eli View, son of P. View.
478 Beacon street, is the youth whose'
fear of being called "sissy" led him to
agree to a boat ride in a frail canoe of
the club, which capsized owing to the
overload, resulting In the death of his
associates.
Canoe Built for Two.
According to the story toRi by young
View, the other boys invitad him "for a
short ride in the canoe, a small fragile
craft, built for two persons. He de
murred on the ground that it was unsafe
and upon their good natured taunting, he
finally agreed to the rjde. In some man
ner, for which he is unable to account,
the canoe tipped and in a second all three
were struggling in the water.
"We all grabbed hold of the canoe,"
said View, "and knowing that both my
self and Barker could swhn I called to
Jensen to hold on .to the side as he could
not swim. We then began calling for
help. The boat was only about 50 feet
from the landing but I was afraid to at
tempt to swim to it. Jensen became
alarmed, evidently, at the rocking of tTie
boat and suddenly loosened his hold and
grabbed Barker, who was nearest him.
His hold on Barker was so tight that
the latter was forced to release his grasp
on the boat and tlgey went down, crying
for help. They came up twice, struggling
and crying and then drifted down stream
a few feet, where they disappeared
beneath the surface.
"It was horrible. I feel that had I
held out against them and refused to
enter the canoe this would all have been
averted." he concluded.
Bodies Are Not Found.
A younger brother of Barker was the
only person near the boafhouse at the
time and he ran for help. By the time
other members of the club arrived from
the clubhouse, which is half a block
away, the bodies of both boys had dis
appeared. View then swam to the shore.
An effort was made last night for sev
eral hours to find the bodies of the
drowned boys, but without success. The
news of the drowning was reported at
police headquarters and Captain Moore
sent an officer fo see if anything could
be done by the city toward recovering
the bodies, but owing to the fact that
the city has no apparatus for engaging
in such work, the officer returned. At
the point of the tragedy the water is
about 40 feet deep and It is feared that
there will be considerable difficulty In
recovering the bodies.
When the news of her son's death was
brought to Mrs. Barker, she was pros
trated and it became necessary to call in
neighbors to assist in quieting her. This
was a similar experience at the Jensen
residence, where a mother, grandmother,
an aunt and two sisters were heartbroken
over the death of young Jensen, who was
the only boy of the family.
RICH MEN "TIGHTWADS"
BIG PROPERTY-OWNERS IN LOS
ANGELES WON'T GIVE.
Entertainment of Elks May Fail Be
cause Largest Gainers Re
fuse to Help.
LOS ANGELES. June 3. (Special.)
"Owing to the Vact that the rich busi
ness men and owners of big downtown
buildings who are Denefited thousands
of dollars every year by the conventions
that come to this city and never pay a
cent towards their' entertainment, have
repeated their previous conduct of fail
ing to contribute, there is a big deficit
in the $100,000 fund for the entertain
ment of the Elks," said Motley H. Flint,
chairman of the executive committee.
"We have only $50,000 thus far, and
unless we get $30,000 more this carnival
will be a failure. The little merchant and
the ordinary citizen have each done more
than his share. If you want to know
who the tightwads are when it comes to
paying for the entertainment of visitors,
just hunt up the names of the owners of
the largest buildings, and the biggest
businesses in the city with very few ex
ceptions. That's how they get rich."
A vigorous campaign Is on for the ad
ditional $30,000.
