SPOKANE, Nov. 12. "We are not em
ploying any Industrial Workers of the
World, if we know it," said the manager
of an employment agency today. "The
contractors do not want them, for they
are agitators and trouble-makera. They
take every opportunity during work and
in the bunkhouses to create dissatisfac
tion among the other men. It is against
the rules of the Industrial Workers' or
ganization to patronize an employment
agency and when one of them comes in
here he removes h!rs buttons and conceals
his I. W. W. card."
The manager of another employment
agency said:
"We have instructions from various
employers not to send out any Indus
trial Workers of the World. They agi
tate and cause trouble wherever they go.
While we are short of men and there is
plenty of work, we will not send out any
I. W. W. men if we know them to be
euch. Those that come into this office
carefully conceal any evidence of their
connection with the organization."
Six "Workers" Brave Sleet.
Six "Industrial Workers" braved the
leet today in the cause of free speech.
These men stood with bared heads at
Washington and Riverside streets, the po
lice letting them orate until they were
well moistened and then arresting them.
Every one admitted he had coma to the
city within the last few days in response
to calls sent out for "martyrs" to tight
the Spokane authorities.
Most of them were from Seattle. One
was provided with a store of food for his
life In jail, a carrot and an apple being
found In a pocket, together with tobacco,
cigarette papers and matches.

Beg
All the men now under arrest for streej
disorders ate regularly today, many half
vtarved from their voluntary feast plead
ing for more than the regular allowance
of bread and water. Six. who prefer the
regulation jail fare to bread and water,
are now af work under officers on the
rockplle.
In Police Court all cases on the
docket have been continued until No
vember IS. With only ten arrests In
two days the officials now feel the
court machinery is in no immediate
danger of being swamped. Attorneys
Moore and Rogers for the I. W. W.
members asked the continuance to give
them time to argue the habeas corpus
proceldings now pending in court.
Action on these proceedings was today
delayed by the failure of the attorneys
to pay filing fees.
Courtroom Is Offered.
After a vain attempt to get the use
of various halls and theaters for "free
speech" meetings, the Socialists were
given permission to use the municipal
courtroom for a meeting Sunday.
A woman called up Mayor Pratt to
day and told him the women of the
Industrial Workers of the World would
take up the fight Monday, and that
7i0 of them were ready to be arrested.
This move. It is said, has been decided
on to embarrass the officials.
Kfforts to secure the release of I. W. W.
street speakers by habeas corpus proceed
ings have been blocked by Sheriff Pugh's
refusal to serve the writs until the fees
for such service are paid. The I. W. W.'s
refuse to pay the fees, and the men are

The Western Federation of Miners at
Burke has adopted resolutions of sym
pathy with the I. W. W., urging a boy

"Knock" on Spokane Ordered.
"Get out your hammers and knock th5
t'ity of Spokane. She's an enemy of hu
mankind." The complete collapse of the "starva
tion strike." which began last Friday,
came at noon today, when all the pris
oners at Fort Ueorge Wright called for
food and were given bread and water.
All the street speaker have given up
the strike and are taking food. Some, it
is believed, had tasted nothing for
days.

Bureau of American Republics Will
Be Strengthened and Continued
for Another Term Ses
sions Open in July.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The fourth
of a series of great conferences that
are steadily strengthening the bonds
between the republics of the Western
hemisphere is to be held in Buenos
Ayres, Argentine Republic, between July
15 and 20 next, and already the Argen
tine Government, which is to be the
host in this case, has been doing much
to prepare for the meeting.
The three preceding conferences have
moved along the lines of least resist
ance; that is to say. the delegates have
adopted as basic principles such propo
sitions as have secured the easy ad
hesion of the great majority, but no
effort was made to coerce the minority
of the states into acceptance of rules
which at first presentation were ob
noxious to them. Instead, when these
were of real importance they were thor
oughly debated and then remanded for
further consideration at the next con
ference. In this way the conferences
have been made educational, and ex
perience has shown that a sound propo
sitlon is almost certain to secure ad
hesion.
So it happens that the tentative pro
gramme includes some subjects that al
ready have figured Jn the debates of the
preceding conferences. Thus, for in
stance, will again come up the subject
of compulsory arbitration.
Navigation Lines Proposed.
Another jiroject broached at a pre
ceding meeting which will be again
threshed out will be the establishment
of steam navigation lines connecting
the principal ports of the American
countries, on the 1 nsis of a uniform
system of contract.
The Bureau of American Republics
is to be strengthened and continued for
another ten-year term of life at the
least, and it is hoped that the com
mission of international jurists will be
able to report something in the nature
of a code of international law that will
be adopted for the go ernment of the
American republics in their diplomatic
relations. If this report is satisfactory
the fourth conference will embody in a
treaty this basic code, which is ex
pected to have the happiest results in
the settlement of any disturbing ques
tions that may arise in the future be
tween the republics.
The Pan-American Railway: postal
rates and parcel posts: a uniform sys
tem of collection of census and com
mercial statistics and consular methods;
supervision of food supply; the protec
tion of the public health, and the regu
lation of rates of international ex
change are other matters left by pre
ceding conferences for the considera
tlon of that.whtch Is to meet'at Buenos
Ayres.
Foreign Immigration Is Topic'
New and up-to-date subjects are
wireless telegraphy and aerial naviga
tion, for it has begun to be realized
by the governing board that there soon
will be need of regulations for the gov
ernment of these new modes of com
munication and travel. An effort also
will be made to arrive at some sound
basin of regulation of foreign Immi
gration and naturalization, and to de
fine real n- utrality In time of war.
implied in undervaluation show almost
simultaneously immense losses in revenue
through the leading ports of each ocean,
how widespread is the disease, and how
virulent? Is it all the way up and down
the coast and throughout the inland
ports?
Clean House Thoroughly.
That is exactly what Mr. MacVeagh in
tends to find out. As he described it to
day, house-cleaning is as essential to the
public as to private business, and a per
son is liable to forget how time flies. It
may seem to him tha; he cleaned house
a year previously, when, thinking it over,
it will be found the soap and water had
not been applied for possibly five years.
That is the trouble now, it seems. There
has been no house-cleaning these many
years. There is to be one right away, and
one that will remove all the dirt, if such
a thing be possible.
Mr. MacVeagh does not anticiapte that
the application of mop and broom will un
cover any such nests of "rattlesnakes,"
as it is termed, as have been found al
ready in New York, but, where there is
rottenness, it Is the determination to cut
it out, and where there is Inefficiency,
it is to be remedied to the fullest possible
extent.
CUSTOMS AFFAIRS ARE BAD
Contlnued from First Pag.-)
honesty, lax methods and undervalua
tion. Wors-t on Oriental Goods.
Apparently the conditions at the port
of San Francisco have been particularly
depressing. -It is reported that the under
valuation discovered to have been pre
vailing has affected vast quantities of
Oriental goods, which are of a character.
it Is explained, that renders them pecu
liarly susceptible of being passed at less
than their real worth. The most inter
esting question that arises, however, is:

President Deprecates Desire of In
stitutions to Waste Funds in Ef
forts to Get Big Enrollment
at Expense of Scholarship.
MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Nov. 12. Pres
ident Taft arrived here from New Haven
this morning at 8415 o'clock. His visit
to . Middletown was primarily to attend
the installation of Dr. William Arnold
Shanklin as president of Wesleyan Uni
versity. At the installation President
Taf t's . address, which he delivered ex
temporaneously, came next to the last
on the long programme. Eminent educa
tors, university and college professors
from all sections of the country, attended.
The degree of doctor of laws was con
ferred on President Taft. Vice-President
Sherman, Senator Root, Elmer Ellsworth
Brown, United States Commissioner of
Education; Bishop William BUrt, .of the
Methodist . Episcopal Church,- and Dean
Samuel Hart, of the Berkeley Divinity
School.
President Taft, in his address, praised
small colleges. The presidents of these
institutions. . he said, had the advantage
of close personal touch with the student
body. He said:
I depreciate the desire to increase every
class in a university. The desire to say that
this year's freshman class is larger than last
year's while it may give pride for the
moment, seriously increases the burden of
college administration and brings about the
necessity for a search for money to meet
the added expenses.
It has fallen to me at times to have a
share In selecting a college president, and
there has always been at such times the sug
gestion that what we needed was a business
man. I am glad to say that I always dis
sented from such an ideal. 1 am not at
tacking business men, but I believe such
men have their limitations and that these
limitations are such as to exclude them as
college presidents.
Majority of Men of Paris Favor Ac
quittal or Prisoner, While Women
Believe She Is Guilty Deluge
of Letters Brings Offers.
PARIS, Nov. 12. The entire session of
the Steinhell murder trial today was
taken up with an impassioned plea by
Trouard RIolle, Advocate-General, for.
conviction of the woman who is charged
with having killed her husband and lier
stepmother. Mme. Steinheil'a counsel,
M. Aubln, is yet to be heard, and doubt
has arisen whether the case will go to
the jury tomorrow.
The prosecutor showed neither pity nor
mercy in his address to the jury. He
painted the accused woman in the black
est of colors as a born liar and as one
whose whole life, before and after the
crime, justified the presumption- of guilt.
He developed the theory that after the
rich and generous lover, Chounard,
abandoned her in 1907. Mme. Steinheil
realized she was almost at the end of her
tether and that when she got Maurice
Borderet in her clutches she was deter
mined to hold him, even at the price of
murder.
Theories Are Finespun.
The prosecutor insisted that Mme. Stein
heii's story that burglars committed the
crime was a myth, and he undertook to
reconstruct the scene that actually hap
pened, claiming that while the accused
woman and her accomplice were tying
Mme. Japy, M. Steinheil was aroused by
the noise and jumped out of bed. There
upon they attacked and killed him and.
returning to Mme. Japy's room, found
her in a bad fright.
M. Trouard RIolle undertook to account
for the stopping of the clock in the Stein
heil home after the murder, advancing
the theory that Mme. Steinheil, in her
anguish, could not endure the ticking.
An expert testified during the trial that
the clock had been stopped by hand as it
was being wound up.
Defendant May Make Address.
Throughout the day Mme. Steinheil
seemed terribly depressed. Not once did
she interrupt the proceedings, though fre
quently she clenched her fists and showed
signs of anger when the prosecutor made
particularly odious insinuations, against
her. It is understood that at the con
clusion of M. Aubln's address Mme. Stein
heil intends to address the jury in her
own behalf. This would make a dramatic
climax, and it is expected would have a
powerful influence on the jury, which is
reported to be evenly divided.
Two things must be remembered in
connection with a French verdict first,
the majority vote prevails, the foreman
of the Jury having two votes if there be
a tie; second, the Jurors are not con
fined, but are permitted to return to their
homes at night, where they are subjected
to the possible influence of their wives.
Women Believe Her Guilty.
It is notorious that whereas a majority
of the men here favor the acquittal of
Mme. Steinheil, the women almost unani
mously believe she is guilty.
Mme. Steinheil is being deluged with let
ters of every character, many of them
containing offers of marriage if she Is
acquitted. Enterprising theatrical man
agers are trying to arrange for her im
mediate appearance on the stage after
release. Mme. Steinheil is represented as
having thrown these letters away in a
rage. ,
BIG SHIP IN CLASS ALONE
Could Steam -3000 Miles at Top
Speed Without Recoaling.
QUINCY, Mass., Nov. 12. Official fig
ures made public today indicate the new
battleship North Dakota is in a class by
herself as far as steaming radius is con
cerned. The figures show the North Dakota,
steaming at an average speed of 12 knots
an hour, is able to travel 9000 nautical
miles without recoaling.
At a 19-knot speed the big ship would
be able to steam 4000 miles without re
plenishing her bunkers, while she would
be able to cover 9X10 miles without recoal
ing when steaming at her maximum
speed of 21H knots.
Merchandise of Merit Only
ART NEEDLEWORK
FOR XMAS
The past week has been a very busy one in our Art Needle
Work and Fancy Goods department. This year the arrival of
many pretty art novelties made of imported fabrics in new
foreign art work makes this department most attractive.
WOMEN SEEM TO FANCY the new Darmstadt, Mosaic .
and Holland Work. Indeed so enthusiastic have been our
earlier customers that we fear now the unusual large assort
ment we imported will prove far too small and that belated,
customers will be disappointed.
The prices also have a great deal to do in making this) par
ticular section of our department popular, ranging as they
do from 50c to $2.25 each.
IN STAMPED LINENS our showing this year embraces
every known article, in all the popular sizes and designs. Also
many new patterns and designs so as to make our assortment
practically bewildering. Prices ranging from 5c to $2.75 each.
TO THOSE CUSTOMERS who are otherwise employed'
and cannot spare the time to fashion their own Christmas ,
Gifts we offer a beautiful assortment of made-up novelties.
It would be almost impossible to attempt to describe them.
Hundreds of little dainty conceits for men and women, misses
and children.
That every year sees an increase in personal gifts, , gifts
made by one person for another, gifts that mean more than
the purchase of a ready-made trinket is proven by the fact
that we have already doubled the selling force in our art de
partment. Christmas gift-making has already begun.
To the women of Portland our department needs but little
introduction. To the newcomers whose first Christmas will,
be spent in Oregon we extend an invitation to inspect this de
partment, to acquaint themselves with our needlework novel
ties, our pyrography demonstrator and our metalography
teacher. They will be pleased, we are sure, to learn that they
can secure Heminways & Sons' Embroidery Silks, for which
we are agents. Also Columbia Yarns.
OUR FREE EMBROIDERY CLASSES are in session
every afternoon. We will be glad to have you join them.
Welcome.
