.Judge Coke, Trying Alleged Leader
of Trouble at St. Johns, Will
Hurry Action Foreigners
Charge They Were Robbed.
The jury which is to try Gordon
iDicKey, foreman of the Willamette
Pulp & Paper Company's loading sta
tion at St. Johns, on a charge of lead
Ins the St. Johns' rioters against the
Hindus and shipping them from the
town, was Impanelled yesterday.
At 2 o'clock In the afternoon Dan
J. Malarkey, special prosecutor for the
state, and in the employ of the British
Government, made the opening state
ment, being followed by F. J. Loner
gan, who, with Attorneys Logan &
Stevenson is representing Dickey.
Judge Coke, who is presiding over
the trial of the case, then sent the
jury, at the request of counsel, to
view the scenes of the riot. The first
evidence will be introduced at 9:30
this morning. Judge Coke said yes
terday he wishes to expedite the trial
as much as possible, and will hold
night sessions if it becomes necessary.
He said he has a case in his own
county. Coos, set for trial June 20, and
was also to hear several cases for
Judge Hamilton at Roseburg on his
way south, but that It might be neces
sary to hear the Roseburg cases after
the Coos County case.
Kiots Occurred March 21.
The riots, which Dickey Is charged
with having incited, occurred on the
night of March 21. Forty-five Hindus
were placed aboard streetcars bound
for Portland, the most of them having
been beaten, and 29 of them, accord
ing to Prosecutor Malarkey, having
been robbed.
Dickey discharged his men at about
3:30 o'clock on the afternoon of the
riots, according to Mr. Malarkey, and
went to the St. Johns' saloons with a
petition that the saloonkeepers sell no
liquor to Hindus. Later, he declared,
when the riots started. Dickey led
them to the rooms over Bitgood &
Cole's butcher shop and later down
Burlington street to the Hindu houses
at the foot . of the hill, whence the
turbaned men ran in all directions In
an effort to escape.
One of them ran to the City Hall,
saiu Mr. Malarkey, and was dragged
from the very presence of the Mayor,
who after most of the Hindus had been
shipped away, and while members of
the mob still held others, said to them:
"Now, boys. If you will just quit it
now we will see that they are all run
out by Wednesday."
Illness Follows Riot.
The prosecutor told of Hindus being
thrown from second-story windows,
one being sick -at St. Vincent's Hospital
for 30 days afterward as a result. He
said also that employes of the St.
Johns Lumber Mill telephoned re
peatedly to the town officials for pro
tection but received none. It was a
few days before election," he said, sug
gestively. Attorney Lonergan, in answering
him, said Dickey was not a leader of
the mob, but instead "poured oil on
the troubled waters." He said Dickey
interceded for the Hindu who fled to
to the City Hall. As to whether or not
the city officials did their duty, he
said that question does not enter into
the Dickey case.
The Jury is as follows: E. L. Braden,
il. H. Doan, M. L. Beach, P. E. Anger
stein, J. C. Bishop, R. C. Young, N.
Anderson, A. Altmanns, Alex Wagner,
A. Sohler, A. A. Young and R. A.
Denby. During the examination of
the jury, O. S. Haynes was excused
for cause, he being a resident of St.
Johns and acquainted with Dickey.
Oliver Anderson, James Imel, J. C.
Dement and R. P. Welck were per
emptorily challenged by the defense,
and S. S. Baldwin by the state.
MERRILL CLEARED OF CHARGE.
Proprietor of Roadhouse Not Guilty
of Perjury.
Fred T. Merrill, proprietor of the
Twelve-Mile House, was cleared of a
perjury charge by Circuit Judge Bron
augh, who yesterday morning sustained
a demurrer to the indictment brought
against Merrill by the grand jury. The
demurrer was interposed on Merrill's
behalf by Attorneys Logan and Steven
eon and I. N. Smith.
Merrill, it was alleged, swore falsely
to an affidavit that before seeking to
renew his license for dispensing liquor
at the Twelve-Mile House, he had ap
plied to the proprietor of a Gresham
newspaper to publish the notice of re
newal, and that he had been "practically
refused."
An affidavit that he had failed to
comply with the law requiring that a
notice be published was his reason for
filing his affidavit. Judge Bronaugh
said such an affidavit as Merrill filed
loes not constitute perjury.
Merrill was to have been tried yes
terday for the alleged selling of liquor
to minors. He asked that the case be
continued because he said he was ill.
Judge Morrow set it for June 15.
Against the advice of his physician,
Merrill accompanied his float in Thurs
day's parade. He is thought to have
appendicitis.

ASSOCIATION IS AROUSED
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON" DE
TERMINED TO IMPROVE.
Development Association's Secretary
Says Portland Interests Should
Be Alive to Situation.
Statistics are being compiled by the
Southwest Washington Development
Association showing where the outside
trade of the 34 communities represent
ed is going. This information, accord
ing to J E. Barnes, of Centralia, sec
retary of the asociation, who is in
Portland, will be conveyed to the prin
cipal cities of the Northwest for their
information.
This is one of the steps in a cam
paign started by the association to in
terest the larger cities of the North
west in the development of Southwest
ern Washington. It is asserted that
that section of the state has received
little recognition in the expenditure of
moneys raised by state taxes and has
been held back by rivalry among the
cities of Portland. Seattle and Tacoma.
For instance, in the matter of locat
ing homeseekers, Mr. Barnes says that
Seattle and Tacoma nave not recom
mended Southwestern Washington be
cause they feared Portland would
profit by it, while "Portland has fa
vored other localities in similar move
ments because of the fact that Seattle
and Tacoma might get some benefit if
the intermediary territory svere ex
ploited. Mr. Barnes points out that a circle
drawn 90 miles from Portland would
take in most of the territory involved,
while a similar circle drawn 90 miles
from Tacoma would include very little
of it. He suggests that the commer
cial interests of Portland should be
come more thoroughly awakened to
this condition.
Next week the executive committee
of the association will go to Tacoma to
tell the commercial organizations of
that city what they can do to help the
Southwestern section of .Washington.

Boy Displays Unusually Clever
Generalship in Ring.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 10. Ad
Wolgast's first fight since he wrested
the lightweight championship honors
from Battling Nelson was marred by
the breaking of a bone in his left fore
arm in the seventh of a ten-round no
decision contest with Jack Redmond,
of Milwaukee, tonight. In spite of
this he had a shade the better of the
bout.
The boys weighed in at 130 pounds
at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
In the sixth round Wolgast slightly
injured his left arm on Redmond's
elbow 'and in the seventh snapped a
bone in the left arm about three
inches above the wrist.
Up to the time of this mishap he
had a good lead, but did little fast
work. He was cool. Judged distance
well and worked short rights to the
body in championship form, but from
the seventh to the finish he was prac
tically helpless and if Redmond could
have landed with any steam he might
have been declared the winner. The
general public will give the fight to
Wolgast because of his big lead in the
earlier rounds.
Twice before Wolgast has defeated
Redmond.
At their first meeting Wolgast
weighed only 116 pounds. Wolgast
has improved wonderfully since he
fought in Milwaukee last, and was far
ahead of Redmond in speed. Judgment

gast's left sank into the body. Wolgast
walked away smiling. He landed where he
pleased. Redmond started the crowd going
by putting a right and a left to the head,
while Wolgast backed against the ropes.

head to head and exchanged blows. Red
mond's left connected with the champion's
nose and blood trickled from it. After a

judged distance poorly and his blows lacked
steam. Redmond put a right on the cham
pion's head and again to the face and for
a full minute the champion did not make
a lead. He appeared to be helpless with
his back against the ropes when the bell
rang. He went to his corner and said his
left forearm was broken.
Round 8.
Redmond started out aggressively, but was
unable to land cleanly. They stood head
to head, Redmond using short left and right
hooks to the body. Wolgast used his good
right for guarding purposes. He went into
a shell, while Redmond kept on working in
closer. Wolgast's poor defensive was at
tributed to his inability to use both arms.
Toward the close of the round the "wild
cat" opened with a flash of his right. He
sent in a series of short-arm jolts to the
stomach. Then he stood practically help
less with his head down while Redmond
worked uppercuts. They were clinched at
the bell.

ring, but did not land a clean blow. Wol
gast was eager to clinch with his left hand
at his side. They wrestled to a neutral
corner and Wolgast landed a hard right.
Then he ducked and avoided a right and
left swing. Redmond stood a good chance
to collect if he had the wallop. After a
brief rest Wolgast played to the stomach
with his right.

ring with his left arm helpless and told
the newspaper men it was broken. Red
mond put his right to the face. Redmond
missed right and left. Wolgast used only
one hand to defend himself. In & clinch

ropes and then grabbed his broken arm
and helped' him back. An expression of

the stomach. It was his finel spurt and a
good one. A light right connected with
Wolgast's face and the boys clinched for
fully 30 seconds. Redmond lacked steam.

ters when the contest ended.
KETC1IEL KNOCKS OUT HIS MAN
In Rough 5-Round Battle Right
Swing on Jaw Downs Smith.
NEW YORK, June 10. Stanley Ketchel
knocked out Jim Smith, of New York
Midway, in the fifth round of a sched
uled 10-round bout at the National Sport
ing Club tonight by a right swing to the
jaw.
It was rough going all the way and
both men were guilty of holding, al
though under the referee's announcement
they were allowed to fight with one hand
free in the clinches.
Smith; the newcomer, looked the strong
er, and was about eight pounds the
heavier. He showed nothingof a novice's
diffidence, and went right after his man
from the tap of the gong.
Smith's aggressiveness did not allow
Ketchel to open in his usual style. From
beginning, to end it was one continuous
series of clinches, with Ketchel ripping
in uppercuts that Jarred Smith to his
toes whenever he could tear loose an
opening.
Smith had a shade the better of it at
the end of the first, although he slipped
to me floor heavily in avoiding an upper-
cut. Ketchel landed heavily with lefts
to the stomach during the second round.
but Smith was quick to come back with
his share of body blows. '
In the third Ketchel dug in heavily
with vicious, ripping uppercuts through
Smith's guard and had him dazed at the
bell. Smith staggered the champion with
two left hooks to the Jaw in the fourth,
but Ketchel's vitality brought him back
in a twinkling, and for the rest of the
round he outfought his man.
In the fifth Ketchel played heavily for
the body. Smith was growing slower and
missed many wild swings. .His fault
through the fight was poor judgment of
distance and inaccuracy. Ketchel" forced
his man to the ropes.
As they broke at the referee's command
and took .the center of the ring, Ketchel
with a saw his chance. Smith was trying
to oome to a clinch, but Ketchel met him
with a right swing that ' sounded like
cracking the head of a barrel.
Smith was still squirming on the floor
when Ketchel vaulted the ropes as fresh
as when he crawled under them.
Ketchel was never in distress and never
worried, although at the opening he
seemed a little puzzled. Smith fought
gamely but was outclassed.

FORCE WILL BE R FOR MED
Gaynor Would Model Detective Staff
After Scotland Yard.
NEW TORK, June 10. Revision of
the city charter so that there might
be an entire separation of the detec
tive bureau from the uniformed force
and a reorganization of the bureau
along the lines of Scotland Yard, Lon
don's famous detective force, is Mayor
Gaynor's purpose.
The present charter provides that de
tectives shall be drawn from the uni
formed policemen. At a conference be
tween the Mayor and ex-Attorney-General
Julius M. Mayer, counsel to the
charter revision commission of the
Legislature, both agreed to the new
plan.
The Mayor said that he could spot a
detective a block off. All of them are
tall and square-shoufdered and have
feet like children's coffins, he said. He
is not a believer in large men as neces
sarily brainy men. Rather, he believes,
that proportions of brainy and medio
cre men hold about the same among
men of great and lesser stature.
Mayor Gaynor observed that many
United States secret service men are
of the "singed cat" order weazened,
baldheaded, frail of build and ranging
to men of stalwart proportions.
These men, he has noted, look like
artisans, professional men or business
men some of them like men of means
and leisure and may enter Interviews
without suspicion as to their identity.

MAYOR TO ALLOW
NO STRIKE FURY
Draymen's Association Makes
Second Appeal for Police
Protection.
BOURNE'S AID IS SOUGHT
Senator to Be Asked to XTse Influence
Toward Ending Peaceably Team
sters' StrikeSaid to Be Inter
ested lit Transfer Firm.
A delegation composed of M. C. Ban
field and four members of the Draymen's
Association called on Mayor Simon yes
terday and made a second appeal for po
lice protection for the wagons operated by
the companies whose men are out on a
strike.
The Mayor assured the delegation that
he would take every precaution to pro
tect life and limb and that property rights
would be respected but that he did not
feel justified in sending out a policeman
with each wagon. The Mayor believed in
a peaceable settlement of the present dif
ficulty and does not believe that any pol
icy that would encourage the importation
of strikebreakers) is advisable.
Mayor Seeks Peaceful Settlement.
"I believe in a peaceable settlement of
the strike," said the Mayor, "and I do
not believe that the importation of out
side men Is a diplomatic way to handle
the situation. If local men desire to work
I think they should be protected regard
less of whether they belong to the union.
At the same time, I believe that a union
man should be permitted to quit work at
any time he may desire. The sooner the
strike is settled the better it will be for
Portland, and I think that all action
which would lead to agitation on either
side should be avoided."
Senator Bourne also is to be asked to
use his influence in ending the teamsters'
strike. At last night's meeting of the
Central Labor Council a resolution was
passed to this effect and the secretary was j
insiructea to nie a telegram to tne sena
tor in Washington.
Senator Bourne is said to own a large
interest in the Baggage & Omnibus Trans
fer Company, which concern is said to
have been holding out strongest of all
against the strikers, and Senator Bourne
will be asked to aid in seeing that the
demands of the strikers are granted.
Encounter Takes Place.
Disagreement over the merits of the
strike led to an encounter Thursday night
at Seventh and Alder streets between
Herman Hall, a union teamster, and W.
T. Slater, a driver for the Baggage, Om
nibus and Transfer Company. Slater had
persistently refused to loin the union r.nd
failed to agree with Hall on the merits
of the organization. Blows were struck,
but on account of the density of the crowd
the combatants decided to adjourn to the
waterfront and "have it out."
Arriving at Davis street, they could hold
in their belligerency no longer, and en
gaged in a 20-minute scrimmage, at the

Good Things in
Portland Markets
HOUSEKEEPERS planning to preserve
strawberries are advised not to post,
pone that pleasing duty, for strawberries
will soon be less plentiful and higher in
price if the hot weather continues. At
present Clarks and Wilsons sell at J1.60
to $1.75 a crate. These, as every Portland
housewife knows, are considered the best
for preserving. Berries of other kinds
are obtainable at from 5 to lSPi cents a
box.
Cherries are now arriving in quantities
and cost about 10 cents a pound. Black
berries, at 1214 cents a box are new this
week. Raspberries are good, but still
rather high in price, costing 15 cents a
box. Red currants are not yet plentiful,
but are in some demand as an aid in
improving the color and flavor of certain
choice strawberry conserves. They cost
10 to 20 cents a box at present.
New arrivals this week are delicious
looking cherry-apricots, costing 15 cents
a dozen. Ordinary apricots sell as low as
5 cents a dozen, and will make excellent
jam; fancy apricots, however, sell at 10
to 15 cents a dozen. Canteloupes from the
South are offered at 5 to 15 cents each,
and a few early peaches are already
making their debut. Excellent pineapples
are in market at about 10 cents a pound.
There is not so very much variety in
the vegetable market at present, beyond
the young "roots," lettuce and green peas.
The latter cost about 7 cents a pound.
Asparagus is almost gone, but a few sur
viving bundles are available at 10 to 15
cents each. Tomatoes are still scarce, and
cost 20 cents a pound. Cucumbers are
a little cheaper, averaging about 10 cents
each. Green and wax beans cost from
8 to 12H cents a pound, and there is a
small quantity of early corn at 50 to
60 cents a dozen.
The fish market offers quite a large
field of choice this week, though some
kinds of fish are a little higher than
usual. Black bass and lobster head the
list at 40 cents a pound. Baby salmon
costs 25 cents, Chinook salmon, sturgeon
and shrimps, 20 cents"a pound. There
are salt water smelt, and sole at 15 cents,
black cod, red snapper and rock cod at
12 cents; halibut, perch and flounder at
10 cents, and shad at about 5 cents a
pound. Shad roe costs 20 cents a pound,
salmon cheeks. 20 cents a. dozen; mussels,
10 cents a pound, and crabs 10 to 20
cents each.
Bacon has risen in price during the
past week, other meats and poultry show
no sign of going down. Broilers sell at
60 to 80 cents each; hens cost 25 cents,
turkeys 35 cents, geese and ducks 30 cents
a pound. ,
