LIONS DISTURB COUNCIL
Roaring Boasts Bother Vancouver
Session.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 6. (Spe
cial.) Roaring of Hons In a nearby
vaudeville- house and a wordy spat be
tween Mayor Kiggins and Councilman
Rowley furnished excitement at the Coun
cil meeting here tonight.
The lions which caused the commotion
earlv in the session belonged to Mme.
Schell's show, and their incessant roars
frequently interrupted proceedings by
drowning the voice of the clerk as he
read the resolutions or called the roll.
Several viva voce ballots had to be re
peated because of the Impartiality of the
:ions In roaring for both sides of the
question.
When the lions ceased to roar, the
Mayor and Councilman Rowley became
entangled in a wordy bout which threat
ened serious consequences until his honor
insisted that the disgraceful proceedings
had gone far enough and ordered the
regular business to proceed.
Mayor Klggins- attempt to force a re
port from Chairman Rowley of the water
committee started the fireworks. Rowley
pleaded delay, and said he wanted to
save the' city money. Other members
wanted to know why the Mayor held up
the paving contracts. To a pointed ques
tion from Rowley. Kig;ins replied: "I
don't have to answer to you or to any
one else."
Rowley was again on his feet and In
the sparring between the Mayor and the
Councilman. Mayor Kiggins accused
Rowley of standing In with an alleged
paving graft. Dubolse came to the de
fense of RoWley at this point and 'the
wordv war became even more bitter.
Rowley made the bold statement that
members of the City Council had been
recently seen in one of the disorderly
houses of the town.
"Who has?" sharply inquired the
Mayor.
"You were." came the quick response
from Councilman Rowley.
The Mayor continued the affair no fur
ther, insisting that he wanted no dis
graceful scenes in the Council, and or
dered the members to proceed with. the
business before them.
An estimate of the current expense of
the city for the coming year was placed
at $50,000.

Sixth and Washington streets late laet
night. F. M. House, a chauffeur for the
Studebaker garage, picked up the victim,
hurried him to the Good Samaritan Hos
pltal for treatment and then reported the
accident at police headquarters. Just a
few minutes after detectives had been de
tailed to find him.
Nehring. an aged man employed as Jani
tor In the Rothchlld building, was se
verely, but not. dangerously injured. At
the hospital physicians found he had sus
tained many bruises and possible Internal
Injuries, but they said he would recover.
According to spectators the automobile
was traveling about 15 miles an hour, and
no warning was sounded before It bore
down on the old man as he was crossing
Sixth street. He wavered a minute, hesi
tating which way to Jump. Before he
could get out of the way the machine
veered, so he told the doctors, to the left
side of the street and struck him. Nehring
was dragged over the pavement 15 or 20
feet until the automobile wheels, blocked
by his body, brought the machine to a
standstill. Fortunately It did not pass
over him.
In the machine with House at the time
was Frank McMillan. McMillan and House
quickly lifted Nehring into the machine
and went at full speed to the hospital.

At all events Mr. Harriman is not so

HOQTJ7AM. Wash.. Sept. 6. (Special.)
The Shingle Weavers' Union will make a
final demand on the manufacturers to

nied them they will walk out of those
plants using the "purple brand," as the

close every plant, numbering more than
35. and will throw directly out of employ
ment lo00 men, indirectly affecting equally
as many more. i
Tonight both sides are firm. The men
will demand a new scale only in places
were the new grading rule Is enforced or
rules equivalent. Five mills are placed
under the ban. and any attempt to shut
them down will result in a lockout.
Tomorrow morning the workers will re
port at the mills affected. If the in
creases asked for are not granted, the
men will not go to work.
The weavers say that the increase has
been granted at the Elma mills and at
the Montesano mills and at other points
throughout the state.
The manufacturers say they cannot
afford to pay the advance.
HURTS ARE NOT SEVERE
AUTO ACCIDENT VICTIMS TO BE
ABOUT IX FEW DAYS.
Experienced Hand at Steering
Wheel Averted Serious Termina
tion of Sunday Night Mishap.
An experienced hand at the steering
wheel and a cool and resourceful head
In charge of the machine in a moment
of extreme danger were the agents
which prevented a serious and possibly
fatal accident on the Taylor's Ferry
road at 11 o'clock Sunday evening when
the automobile occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. W. F. Stlne and the' party of
young people whom they were chap
eroning plunged over an embankment.
Mr. Stlu was the wheel at the time
and had Tjlscovered previously that the
gear had loosened so that the levers
could not be shifted and the car could
not be held with the brakes. As the
car went down the road, down hill, an
abrupt turn was met and on realizing
that the turn could not be made nor
the car stopped Mr. Stlne changed the
course of the machine so that It went
straight down the embankment.
This ready action on the part of the
driver prevented the car from turning
over as the machine kept an upright
position all the way down, a distance
of about 100 feet, and finally stopped
without serious injury to any of the1
party.
The party were returning from a
house party at Falls City, where
Charles T. Strother, of Spokane; Miss
Caroline Strother, of Charlotte. Mich.,
and Miss Jessie Hill were the guests
of honor. The party left Falls City
Sunday evening at 5:30 o'clock. In the
automobile were Mr. and Mrs. Stlne,
Miss Celeste Moore, Miss Margarita
Buehner. Miss Caroline Strother, G. A.
Grlswold and Charles T. Strother.
The accident occurred about 11 P. M.
and but for this the party would have
reached Portland by 11:30. Two of the
young women. Miss Moore and Miss
Buehner, were bruised, and Miss Moore
suffered a sprained ankle, but othei
wise the occupants of the machine
escaped with minor bruises, while both
Miss Moore and Miss Buehner .will be
able to be about again within a few
days.

DEPENDS Oil LOGGERS
IF THEY ADVANCE PRICES, LUM
BER WILL COST MORE.
Portland Millmen Say Present Mar
ket Value Will Not Be Disturbed
Unless Logs Go Up.
Portland lumber manufacturers ad
mit that if the threatened advance in
the price of logs, proposed by the log
gers to become effective October 1, is
enforced,' that action? will Le followed
by a corresponding Increase In the
market priqe of Jthe manufactured
product. They are frank to say, how
ever, that until the loggers act, the
schedule of lumber prices will not be
disturbed. The increase in the cost of
logs, contemplated by the loggers at
the beginning of the month, ranges
from 60 cents to $1 a thousand, accord
ing to grades.
"If the loggers decide to advance
the cost of logs," said Frank H. Ran
som, manager of the Eastern & West
ern Lumber Company, last night, "it
may naturally be expected that the
price of lumber also will be advanced
proportionately. At ine present, urns
there is a good demand for lumber of
all grades at prevailing prices, and ex
isting schedules probably will not be
changed except the charge for logs is
increased.''
Lumber prices are considerably lower
than they were two years ago. This is
due to not less than three reasons,
each of which only tended further to
depress the market. In the first place
the financial disturbance of the Fall
of 1907 served to depreciate lumDer
values. Th.s was followed by an arbi
trary advance in rates by the transcon
tinental railroads which had not been
settled before the tariff agitation was
started, declare lumbermen.
Existing prices for rough lumber
average about $10 a thousand feet,
while the finished product brings a
price of from $13 to $35 a thousand.

CHICAGO. III.. Sept. 6. (Special.)
More than 300 members of the Actors'
National Protective Association, an or
ganization of performers in 6 and 10-cent
theaters, went on strike tonight, the
walkout having been preceded by deser
tions or tne ooaras in a. iui e ui mmc i
scattered moving-picture playhouses in
the afternoon.
The calling- of the strike to compel
theaters to pay a wase scale of S20 a
week for single acts and J50 for doubles
was followed almost immediately by one
reported instance of violence which mem
bers of the union charged to sluggers in
the employ of managers. Charles Lane,
a professional "cannon ball juggler," was
attacked, according to the officers of the
union, at Clark and Randolph streets,
and knocked to the sidewalk. His face is
said to have been severely lacerated. The
police were told that Lane was attacked
by two men,, one of whom used brass
knuckles.
The strike, the union officials say, may
become general tomorrow, Involving 2500
members of the organization, almost 500
theaters, and more than half a hundred
booking agencies. The booking concerns
are more obstinately opposed to the de
mands of the union, it is said, than are
the managers.
