SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. J9. (Special.)
8eattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver,
B. C.
This is the Northwestern league cir
cuit for the season of 1910. ,
The Northwestern magnates at a meet
in held in this city yesterday not only de
cided against the admission of Belling
ham, Everett Xr any other bidders for the
vacant Portland franchise, but went one
'srtep furthed and dropped Aberdeen from
the league roll.
Aberdeen was dropped only after a ses
sion that lasted from-2 o'clock in the- af
ternoon until late tonight without an in
termission. The baseball moguls were
in private confab at the Seattle Hotel all
that time and during the six hours they
threshed over the situation thoroughly.
Jn the end it was decided that for the
best Interests of the league it is wiser
not to attempt to extend the circuit to
Everett or Bellingham, and this left the
league with five clutos. The only thing
left was to lop off one, and the ax fell on
Aberdeen.
I'nder the league constitution it has the
power to drop any club for business rea
sons on vote of the remaining clubs.
Clarence H. Rowland, the Aberdeen
manager, who was representing the Black
Cats at the meeting, made a splendid
fighl against being dropped, but the other
votes were solid against hitn. Rowland
was outvoted from the first, but his en
thusiasm, as well as the figures he pro
duced, made the other magnates hesitate
pome time before they took final action.
All afternoon they deliberated over this
one question, and It is due to Rowland to
say that Aberdeen was ably represented
at the meetting and it is no fault of his
that the franchise was withdrawn1 from
his club.
Tlie directors were stirred by the ne
cessity for Immediate action to strength
en the leagtle, since Portland was dropped,
and they felt that Aberdeen is the weak
est link in the chain, though it is ad
mitted by all that the Grays Harbor town
has -given baseball good support, con
sidering lis population. The reports that
the Aberdeen fans were getting tired of
subscribing funds each season to carry
the team through also influenced the di
rectors, but Manager Rowland, on the
other, hand, declares that $7500 has been
euhscribed for IfllO and $2800 collected.
The league was cut to four clubs on the
recommendation of the franchise and cir
cuit committee, composed of D. E. Dtig
tfale, of Seattle; George M. Shreeder. of
Tacoma, and Robert P. Brown, of Van
couver. The only other present at the
meeting, besides President W. H. Lucas,
was Manager Rowland, of Aberdeen. Bob
Brown held the proxy of Joe Cohn,
owner of the Spokane club, and voted it
in favor of dropping Aberdeen.
Seattle. Spokane, Tacoma and Vancou
ver voted together to restrict the league
to four clubs.
The directors feel that" the four-club or
ganization will be far more satisfactory
from a business standpoint than the six
clubs.
Seattle. Tacoma, Spokane and Vancou
ver should make a .very strong combina
tion, ami every club in the league ought
to have a good . season. . The magnates
will now bend their efforts toward get
ting together pennant winners.
Manager Rowland was bitterly disap
pointed at the result of the -meeting. It
was a complete surprise to htm, as it will
be around the circuit. Up until yester
day the only question had been as to
what city would be added to the league.
fKverett and Bellingham had both made
strong overtures and yesterday Belling
linm sent down J. A. Miller to bid for the
franchise. Everett, at the last moment
Ifeded away and It seems that all the en
thusiasm stirred up In the city of smoke
stacks has suddenly abated.

JOHNSON STANDS BY RICKARD
Hut Negro's Manager X'pholds Glea-
son's. Claim.
NEW! YORK. Jan. 19. There appears
to be a little difference of opinion be
tween Jack Johnson ajid George Little,
his manager, as to where - the chamr
pioriahip fight Is likely to take place.
Johnson was quoted here today as fol
' lows:
"If Rlokard- says the fight is going
to take place at Salt Lake City. It will
be Salt Lake City. Jeffries and I are
1n this business for money. Rick&rd
,. Is the man with the dough, and what
iie says goes. ...
"As far as I am concerned. I am
willing to fight Jeffries anywhere. I
have no personal preferences so long
as Jeffries Is on band In his best form.
But here .is what Little had to say
regarding the controversy a few min
utes later:
"You take it from me that the fight
will never be pulled off In Utah. The
site which has been agreed upon is
at Oceanview, a short distance south
of San Francisco. A temporary arena
to seat 30.000 is to be constructed and
a railroad company has agreed to de
posit the ticketliolders at the gates
within 20 minutes after they leave
Fifth and Market Btreets, San Fran
clsco. I'm willing to bet $5000 that
the tight takes place in California."
INSANITY LOGAN'S PLEA
Alleged Murderer Jabbers as Counsel
Speaks.

-iVVlttlam Johns, tbe- new nam by which
James F. Logan. on trial at Colvllle,
Wash., for the alleged murder and ' cre
mation of Mrs. Jansen, his housekeeper,
began Jabbering and interrupting proceed
ings today during the addreas of his
counsel to the Jury. '
Counsel was stating that Logan is and
has-been hopelessly and dangerously in
sane;, that his malady began in youth,
when -he feared he would be conscripted
In' the German army; that he has wandered-from
place to place under the de
usiori that enemies were after him; that
this fear had led him to change his name
at various times. "When court opened
today the amended bill of pleadings was
filed asserting -. the insanity of the de
fendant and after brief argument the
supplemental pleading was admitted.
Defendant's counsel said. in. addition to
Insanity, which the defense proposed to
show, that another man met Logan and
Mrs.- Jansen on the day of the alleged
murder- and, as one of Logan's horses
was sick, this man agreed to take the
wunxui to Chewelah, where she could
take the train for Spokane, and that the
pool of blood on the Hergesheimer home
stead, where the murder is said to have
been committed. ' was caused by Logan
having, bled one of the horses for colic.
' Witnesses for Logan today related pe
culiarities they had noticed ' in the old
man iiid-of his changing" his name to

BKITISH COLUMBIA PLEBISCITE
1200 VOTES SHORT.
Indifference Shown by .Voters Who
Refuse to Register for
Special Issue.
VICTORIA, B. C. .Jan. 19. (Spe
cial.) That local option has failed In
British Columbia under the plebiscite
taken simultaneously with the recent
general provincial elections is shown
by the official returns made public to
day, the formal recount being now in
progress before Deputy. Provincial. Sec
retary Campbell-Reddle.
It was an accepted condition of the
plebiscite that to win ,the local option
Ists should score upwards of 50 per
cent of the total poll for members,
many through Indifference or for other
reasons declining to register for spe
cial opinion on the incidental issue.
The statements of the several return
ing officers now- compiled show a to
tal vote of 47,972, upon which 50 per
cent would be 23,981. or 23,982 votes
required for local option, to Justify
the Government In accepting It as a
peoples' mandate that the local option
system should be introduced provin
cial ly.
: The return as to the plebiscite vote
gives 22,414 as the total affirmative,
or 1568 short. The number of ballots
cast directly negatively was 19,218, and
2201 ballots were rejected by returning:
officers as spoiled and are now under
review. It is through reconsideration
of these that the local optlonists re
tained their only hope of changing;
defeat into victory. The recount today
was of the votes for Victoria and Van
couver cities, representing considerably
more than one-third the total for the
province, and in these local option
gained only 104. with 70 ballots re
newed for appeal to the Executive on
technicalities.
The proportion of the so-called re
jected ballots dealt with today approx
imate one-half. The ratio being main
tained, it is evident that local option
Is lost by approximately 1200.

STRUGGLE ENDS IN JAIL
Washington Couple and Children,
After Desperate Combat, Com
pelled to Don. Clothing to Be
Removed to Their Cells.
BELLINGHAM. Wash., Jan. 19.
(Special.) Crazed with religious frenzy
and waiting- for a fiery chariot from
Heaven to transport them to bliss,
George Paschtot, his wife, and four chil
dren stripped themselves naked Tues
day at Lynden, Wash., 15 miles north
of Bellingham, and clambered to the
roof of their home. The wind was
high and the temperature close to
freezing.
When discovered and forced to come
down, their baby. Marta, aged 11
months, was found dead on the roof
from exposure and hunger. "4
Sunday a Holy Roller elder from Se
attle, exhorted the members of the
sect at Lynden to prepare for the end
of- the world. Pascntot and wife,
Grace, took the instruction literally.
They began a fast and ate nothing yes-"
terday. This morning neighbors heard
them singing, but paid no attention for
several hours, knowing their religious
peculiarities.
The house is sheltered by woods and
a passerby discovered the entire fam
ily on the roof, without a shred.-of
clothing as protection. The children
were complaining of the cold and the
parents were urging them to be brave,
until the chariot came. Every cloud
that approached they promised the lit
tle ones was the expected chariot, to
mark the end of all things.
Family Call Officers "Devils."
When the officers arrived, the fam
ily hurled Invectives of "devils,"
"agents of satan." at them and resisted
their approach to the roof by tearing
off shingles and hurling them at the
officers.
After a desperate hand-to-hand com
bat on the roof. In which the naked
woman stripped ah officer almost as
completely as herself, they were over
powered and brought to jail here, with
two of the children, a boy and a girl,
aged 11 and 9 years, who proclaim
themselves to be Otto and Mary Jesus,
renouncing the name of Paschtot.
Another child, a girl aged 2 years, is
lying at the point of death, at Lyn
den. Paschtot Is an unlicensed healer, claim
ing to have powers supernatural, that.
combined with simple herbs, cure all hu
man Ills. He Is well known to druggists
over the "county, all of whom -have en
countered him in his demands for mor
phine and cocaine. His Insistence upon
the right to- purchase without a physi
cian's prescription has caused great an
noyance to pharmacists. He is 51 years
of age. His wife is 48.
With great difficulty they were In
duced to don clothing for the drive here
from Lynden. When they were told the
carriage was the chariot they were ex
pecting, they ceased resistance and ac
companied the officers to the jail here
quietly.
At the jail Mrs. Paschtot declared that
her baby was not dead, that it lived, only
the clay having died, and that it made
no difference, because the child had
passed away. -
Paschtot wanted to leave his clothing
and come to the Jail naked. Insisting only
upon being accompanied by his Bible.
MEDINA GETS TIP, FLEES
Man Wanted for Execution of Amer
icans Can't Be Found.
MANAGUA, Jan. 19. The police broke
into tlie house yesterday where General
Medina was supposed to have barricaded
himself, but found ho had gone. Minister-General
Banca has issued a general
order for his capture on sight.
Medina was one of the men whose ar
rest was ordered after President Madrlz
had addressed a message to the Supreme
Court demanding that action should be
taken against those implicated in th9

New Vaudeville Bills
Please Audiences
Orpheum.
THE Orpheum is again featuring
Julius Steger and his capable com
pany in a musical dramatic playlet,
"The Way to the Heart." On this, as well
as upon his appearance last week. Mr.
Steger proves he has a loyal following.
The accepted truism, '-"Blood is thicker
than water," is the theme of this sketch
penned by Ruth Comfort Mitchell. Two
brothers estranged from childhood be
come more -antagonistic as years ad
vance by further embodying the clash
of capital and labor. Mr. Steger as
sumes the role of a man of the people,
and Alfred Hollingsworth that of the
brother, a factory . owner and man of
wealth. One has become owner of the
vast works, while the other serves In
the capacity of a minor employe. An
Imminent strike brought about by a
threat of slashed wages brings the two
kinsmen together. The successful man,
though on the verge of being exposed,
is forgiven by his less fortunate
kinsman and the sketch culminates in
the prescribed happy fashion. Mr.
Steger makes much of his lines, while
the - playlet enables him to sing two
selections.
Gus Edwards' "Kountry Kids," is, as
the name would suggest, a rural sketch.
Each of the eight participants Is given
an opportunity for blossoming forth In
a conglomeration of bucolic songs
and frolics. The one and only apparent
incongruity was the appearance of a
country damsel in sunhonnet and ging
ham frock, her Madame Yale nether
limbs being clad in unmistakable silk
hose.
Arthur Whitelaw, an Irish comed
ienne, has the effect of changing the
face of the audience to a grin of the
Billlken variety. He has a rich
brogue and a fund of new stories
which he throws at his audience with
the rapidity of Pathe films.
Sam Kramer and Eugene Sheck are
exponents of physical 'culture who give
a skillful and entertaining perform
ance. Savoring of originality is the
playing of Madame Panita, - She is a
flute virtuoso, who has thoroughly
mastered that appealing Instrument.
Her selections are difficult and her in
terpretation is most pleasing.
Sandberg and Lee are commonplace,
though they have a few new jokes to
spring. Concluding the performance
is a dog and Simian circus. The dogs
are garbed to represent the watch
charm variety of Shetland ponies and
the Simians are arrayed in giddy colors
as Jockeys. The dogs go through difficult
and divers gyrations, while the jockeys
usurp the applause. Anyone 'doubting
the Darwinian theory should see this
stunt.
Grand.
WHILE the attractions at the Grand
Theater, opening a week's en
gagement yesterday, have been sur
passed, there Is enough genuine com
edy tossed into two of the e?ta to car
ry the bill enthusiastically.
The headline attraction, according to
location on the programme, is George
B. Reno . and company, a quintet of
quaint figures (excepting Miss Bessie
Reno), whose differences in physical
proportions form the most ludicrous
contrast. George Reno Is abqut a foot
and a - half tall hardly any more
while one of his- compatriots has to
duck to avoid beating his head against
the rafters and flies at the -top of the
stage. The act is a military farce, con
sisting principally of knock-about com
edy stuff, which serves to create laughs
galore.
However, Gardner and Golder are not
outclassed by the headllners as far
as laugh-producing is concerned, for
the two black-face artists, while
equipped with some moth-eaten jokes,
have enough fresh comedy to score a
hit. Their "Baby Doll" contribution Is
about as funny as anything seen here
recently.,
Probst the bird imitator, and Fred
Bauer, in a new song, are really good,
while the balance of the bill is pass
able. MECHANICS FAIR AGAIN
MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION
TO REVIVE PROJECT.
Annual Meeting Held and Directors
Elected to Fill Vacancies
on Board.
At the annual meeting of the Manufac
turers' Association in Alisky Hall last
night, definite action was taken that" the
association hold a Mechanics' Fair In the
Fall of this year.
Colonel David M. Dunne, who broached
the project, pointed out that It would be
a help to the city by enlivening the Fall
season. R. J. Holmes favored the plan.
When the matter was brought to a vote,
the decision was unanimous that the fair
be held.
Decision was also made for an indus
trial parade during the Rose Carnival.
This parade, which it is intended Bhall
represent the "Spirit of the Golden West,"
will be one of the beautiful features of
the Rose Festival.
Fletcher Linn, of the Oregon Furni
ture Company, spoke of the development
of the manufacturing industries of Ore
gon. He was followed by C. H. Hoag,
who told of legislation relative to the
employers' liability laws and the com
ing action by the labor unions toward
bringing the- law before the people in the
Initiative and referendum. He said the
laws proposed were radical and thSt the
wiser heads of the unions did not wish
all that the law called for. He proposed
going to the framers of the law, suggest
ing a compromise, and If this were not
granted, declarng open war through a
campaign of education as to the merits
or demerits of the proposed legislation.
Walter A. Goss, "of the Acme Mills,
spoke in a semi-humorous vein on the
pure food laws, relating some of his own
difficulties arising from the vague word
ings of the law. J. -M. Carroll, of the
Evening Telegram, spoke on "Exploita
tion," - heartily favoring the Machanics'
Fair which had been proposed.
The last speaker of the evening was
J. M. Teal, transportation attorney for
the Chamber of Commerce and an hon
orary member of the Manufacturers' As
sociation. After eulogizing the manufac
turers of Portland as pioneers and point
ing out the change In conditions which
have made Portland a great manufactur
ing center where a few years ago it was
merely getting a foothold in this line,
he took up the subject of transportation.
He declared that a new war was on
for Portland, a war for the securing of
proper . freight rates for the distribution
of the . manufactured product. He
pointed out that manufacturers in Oma
ha, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and
elsewhere throughout the Middle West
could ship goods to Idaho, a distance of
2000 miles in some cases at rates which
were absolutely prohibitive to the Port
land manufacturer, and declared that
there was neither sense nor justice in the
differential In favor of the East. He
declared that Portland was no longer a
jobbing center, but a manufacturing cen
ter, which would demand these rates. He
concluded by saying:
"The fight I've enlisted in, volunteered
to wage It is true. Is that so long as I
live, first, last and all tbe time, Portland
shall come first and the railroads can do
to me what they please. We ask nothing
preferential, we- only ask our rights and
that the manufacturers of the Pacific
Coast have the same opportunity for de
velopment, enlargement and distribution
as those of other cities of the United
States."
At the meeting yesterday directors
were elected for a three years' term to
fill the vacancies of those whose terms
had expired. Those elected were H. A.
Connors. R. J. Holmes, C. H. Hoag, Wal
ter McKibbon, Charles Coopey, George
Lawrence, Waiter A. Goss, O. E. Heintz
and T. C. Armstrong. After the meeting,
refreshments were served and a quartet
furnished music

TWO LABOR LEADERS SPEAK
Gompers and Mitchell Want Liability
Act of Europe State Control of -
Forests Is Ad-vocated Mrs.
Duniway Warmly Greeted.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Two distinct
features marked sessions of the Civic
Federation yesterday the unexpected
speech of Ellhu Root and the deep in
terest displayed by leaders in the la-.
bor world and representatives of those
who hire labor In the matter of com
pensation to employes for injuries.
Senator Root, who was not on the
programme, astonished the conference
whn he suggested the creation of a
commissioner's court to draft uniform
laws.
"If a proposal Is one of sound merit,"
said Senator Root, "It will win Its way
into the minds of the people."
The discussion on the subject of
compensation for accidents brought
into the field of speakers Saniuel
Gompers, John Hays Hammond, John
Mitchell, August Belmont and George
M. Gillette.
Mr. Gompers declared European
mlneowners had a better conception
than the American of the needs of their
employes. He said the United States
was the most backward of all coun
tries In protecting those who, by acci
dent, were deprived of their earning
capacity.
European Liability Law Wanted.
John Mitchell, following in much the
same strain, said: "What we are ask
ing is that you enact the laws now in
force in Europe relative to compensa
tion for accident. We want the money
due to the injured ' man paid at the
time of his accident and not after he
is dead. We are killing more men in
America in mines than in any other
country in the world, and fatalities
are Increasing every year."
' John Hays Hammond voiced the be
lief that the number of fatalities in
mines could be reduced more than 35
per cent by raising the standards of
safety. He said that in the United
States In 1908 about 600,000,000 tons of
coal were mined at a cost of 2450
human lives. - .
August Belmont, of New York, de
clared that "Labor will be attracted
to the states affording It the fairest
and safest protection, and the em
ployer will hall this, too, as an ad
vantage to himself."
"In proper protective laws lies not
only the solution of a great and unjust
burden on labor," he said, "but an es
cape from the dangers of overburden
ing our National Government with
duties it could never perform."
Phelps Would Bar Mothers.
Edward Burnell Phelps, of New
York, said that a law should be en
acted, as In European countries, pro
hibiting the employment of child-bearing
women in factories and workshops
for at least a specified number of
weeks after, and in some cases, before
their confinement.
Numerous were the subjects on
which uniform state legislation was
recommended by speakers at today's
conference of the National Civic Fed
eration. The delegates perfected a per
manent organization and adopted reso
lutions which will be presented by a
specially delegated committee to the
conference of State Governors now in
session here.
The resolutions recommend to the
Governors:
"That efficient and uniform legisla
tion should be adopted to suppress and
prevent the procurement of women for
Immoral purposes more generally un
der the name of the white slave traf
fic; and tbe commissioners on uniform
state laws be required to draft a bill
which "Will carry into effect this rec
ommendation." Another recommendation was that
the National food and drugs act, which
has been adopted in all substantial
provisions by 26 states, be adopted by
the Legislatures of all states which
have not already so enacted.
Judge Alton B. Parker was made
permanent chairman of the convention.
State to Boss Forests.
J. Horace McFarland, president of
the American Civic Federation, made a
plea for state legislation to promote
public control" of private-owned forests,
before the conference on uniform state
legislation today.
Isaac N. Seligman. of New York.
chairman of the finance committee of
the National child labor committee,
made an urgent plea for uniform state
laws regulating child labor.
Today Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway,
delegate from Oregon, was enthusias
tically received when she offered the
following resolution:
"Whereas, This National Conference,
organizea tor ine purpose of formulat
ing uniform laws for the consideration
by the Legislatures of widely separated
states of the Union and by Congress,
ior Deiier conservation or the mutual
rights of the people, of which women
are the unrecognized half, except in
four enfranchised states; and,
"Whereas. Marriage and its often re
sultant and rapidly Increasing divorce
evil, more vitally concerns the mother
half of the people than the father-half,
therefore, be it
"Resolved. That the Governors of the
four states represented in this conven
tion be requested to appoint an aux
iliary commission from the several
states, consisting each of two married
women and one married man, whose
duty it shall be to study into and com
pile statistics bearing urjon the sta
bility of the marriage relation and the
causes and cure of divorce.
"Resolved, That this convention re
spectfully request the Legislative As
semblies of the several states to ap
propriate a sum of $500 annually to
meet the expenses of said auxiliaries
in the discharge of the duties involved
therein."
"RESIGN? NO!" HOT REPLY
Ballinger Says He Will Stay While
There Is Fight On.
WASHINGTON, , Jan. 19. Secretary
Ballinger made it plain last night that he
does not Intend to resign' under fire.
When told of a report that he was to be
