Many, Including Employers,
Visit Slayer of Striker
at City Jail.
LABOR ENGAGES ATTORNEY
Alignment of Unions Against Antis
Anrnred In Case, or Burt Hicks,
Who Killed Wormian Friends
Warned, Tla Said.
Warning from striking employes,
still friendly to him. that ho was a
marked man. prompted Burt Hicks, mas
ter blackamlth. to carry a pistol and
led to his killing W. A. Wortman. a.
.rrika icket. at Union avenue and
Morrison street. Thursday evening, ac
cording to a contenUon that will .be
raised In his defense. Back of the
warning, say his attorneys, were IS
months of constant danger, his llttla
shop being aJwaya a storm center In
tha fighting of tha machinists" strike,
beginning: In Msy. 110.
Every Indication yesterday pointed
to a lining; up of forces, with tha pros
pect that the case. If It conies to trial,
will bring out the whole history of the
long strike. While friends rallied to
Hicks In largo numbers and besieged
the Jail at all hours, almost from the
moment of his arrest, equally marked
alignment was noticeable In labor cir
cles, where John A. Jeffery was em
ployed to assist In the proeecutlon of
Hicks and plans were considered for a
demonstration at the funeral of Wort
mnn. which will ba held probably Sun
day. Many Vl.lt Prisoner.
Hicks waa held at the City Jail till
yesterday morning-, when he was com
mitted for trial and sent to the County
Jail. I'p to that time the police cap
tains were applied to at frequent In
tervals for permission to see him,
-Just to shake hands." tha applicants
said. One. a manufacturer, wearing
the button of the Legion of Honor, was
closeted with the prisoner tor several
minutes.
Deputy District Attorney Page made
a preliminary Investigation yesterday,
with a view to the Coroner's Inquest,
to be held this morning, but his dis
coveries leave the actual events Just
before the shooting still In the dark.
They Indicate that. there was a mo
ment's conversation, when the men
grsppled. Wortman la aald to have
called Hicks a ."herder of scabs,"
coupled with on epithet.
The labor men will show, according
to their forecast, that Wortman was a
peaceable man. not engagtng In tha
brawls that went on around him. while
tha defense will endeavor to prove that
he was a notorious bruiser and beat
several strikebreakers around the East
Side shops. They will also show that
Hicks' little shop, employing about a
dozen men, waa the point where tha
fight centered, largely, they say. be
cause It was isolated and In a dark
street They assert that Hicks was de
layed with rush work because he al
ways shut down his shop and sent his
men home before nightfall, that they
might not be slugged In tha dark,
flicks Warned, Say Frteada.
The shop. long-established, bad many
employes of Ions; service, who went out
with reluctance when tha strike was
called, and remained friendly to their
former employer. Some of these men.
it will be alleged, warned Hicks, not
long ago. that his life was In danger,
and It was then that he began carry
ing a revolver. The defense will at
tempt to prove that Wortman had been
warned against his aggressions by a
police sergeant.
It Is not likely that tha defense will
ask a preliminary hearing, but prob
ably will carry Its rase direct to the
grand Jury, yet to be empaneled. When
conveyed to the County Jail yester
day, accompanied by Attorneya Logan
and Malarkey. Hicks went In a taxi
cab. He showed plainly tha ravages
of a night of unrest.

VALLEY EXHIBIT VALUED

At Omaha Land Show Display Wins
Plaudits of Visitors, and Proves
Effective Advertising.
"The Willamette Valley County Courts'
exhibits of the diversified products at
the Omaha Land Snow made a distinct
impression," said D. C. Freeman, chair
man of the Valley delegation, who re
turned yesterday en route to Eugene.
"Ours was the only non-lrrlgatlon
display for homeseekers." Mr. Freeman
added, "and, aa wa occupied the largest
floor apace among exhibitors, relative
to a single district, visitors to the
show went away with a corrected im
pression about agricultural Western
Oregon. There are thousands In the
Middle West who feel. In an Indefinite
way, the greater West Is under Irriga
tion. And there ara many of these
who do not care to consider farming
or Intensive horticultural cultivation
under the conditions an arid section
Imposes. By the system of Illustrated
traveloguea and personal Interviews,
splendid exploitation was secured for
the country south of Portland. Many
hundreds of definite prospective set
tlers of jcomfortable means have been
secured for the Willamette Valley, and
they are those who will come between
now and next April.
"The Omaha show, of which Charles
C. Rosewater is president, haa served a
bt7, practical purpose and Is, no doubt,
a permanent Institution, considering Its
success. The show could not have come
on at a more opportune time. The

hungry people through Omaha In
droves, and a goodly proportion of
these travelera saw our exhibit. n
"The wlld-cattlng land-selling- con
cerns wera not represented, nor were
they allowed In the Coliseum, and of
this we of Oregon and Waahlngton
were glad. Eugene, aa the now rail
road center of the valley, attracted an
Immense amount of attention. Walla

and other products. Yakima made a

FUEL OIL EXCEPTED
New Measure to Exclude Only
Explosives From City.
COMMITTEE HEARS PLEA
Proposed Ordinance Forbidding
Storage Tanks Within Limits la
Laid on Tables Railroads
and Others Appeal.
Following a general demand of per
sons and Interests favoring the stor
age of oil In the city and of persona
demanding that storage tanks be re
stricted to districts ' beyond tha city
limits, the City Attorney will draft a
new measure with the assistance of
Fire Chief Dowell. drawing lines be
tween fuel oil and explosive oils.
' The oil controversy came to a head
yesterday at a meeting of the health
and police committee of the City Coun
cil attended by representatives of rail
way companies, buildings, oil compan
ies and other citizens. Lively talks for
and against the oil tanks caused the
committee to lay the proposed ordi
nance restricting oil-storage tanks
from the city on the table and to In
struct the City Attorney to draft a new
ordinance on lines assuring safety to
life and property.
Railroads Make Plea.
The decision of the committee was
preceded by spirited addresses. Attor
ney A. C Spencer, of the O.-W. R. &
N. Company, declared that an ordl
nanoe making impossible the storage
of fuel within the city limits would
work a greater hardship on the rail
way companlee which have oil-burning
engines. He declared the tanks at Al
bina are built of steel and concrete and
are In an Isolated section of the city
and endanger neither life nor property.
He said the same conditions apply to
tbe Southern Pacific tanks at Brooklyn.
L L. White appeared In behalf of
several local buildings which have oil
burning heating plants, declaring that
to prohibit the storage of fuel oil in
those buildings would work a great
hardship and' necessitate the 'use of
sawdust and slabwood which would be
much more dangerous than olL
South Portland Afraid. .'
V. K. Strode and 3. G. Heltkemper
spoke In behalf of the residents of
South Portland, declaring that the
tanks as proposed there would greatly
dopreclate the value of property and
be dangerous to the neighborhood. Mr.
Strode said South Portland residents
were greatly aroused over the proposed
oil tanks and would fight them "to the
bitter end." Both speakers were ap
plauded by a crowd of men and women
which completely filled the Council
chamber.
W. R. Roberts, representing Insurance
companies, said that a line should ba
drawn between fuel oil and explosive
oils.
"The system of fuel-oil storage," said
Mr. Roberts. "Is absolutely safe. Thla
class of oils Is stored here under con
ditions the same as In San Francisco
and other cities. The tanka in San
Francisco went through the disaster
without a single explosion. As a mat
ter of fact fuel oil Is not an explosive."
The ordinance as proposed was or
dered placed on file and a new ordi
nance was asked of the City Attorney
to be presented before the City Council
next Wednesday.
DEANE, DARING, DEMENTED
Man TiToagbt He "Was Doing Busi

Asserting that he had a telegram
from John D. Rockefeller, transmitting;
J600.000, with which he waa going to
bey the Portland Hotel and other big
Institutions, "and a lot of other dope he
was peddling," to quote Patrolman
Lltherland, S. O. Deane attempted to
take possession of a restaurant at 106
Sixth street yesterday morning. The
man, plainly demented, entered the
place about 6 o'clock, began throwing
dishes about and giving orders to the
waiters. The manager rushed up and
began to protest.
"Get out; you re fired!" said ijeana.
Each man who attempted to interfere
with him was discharged on the spot.
and an Imaginary list of new bands was
promptly employed In their places.
To back his assertions as to nis finan
cial capacity, Deane waved a telegraph
form, which waa taken away irom mm
when he waa arrested. It waa found
to be a purported message from Rocke
feller, but tba writer, evidently Deane
himself, had forgotten to' make any
ciphers, and the message read that the
oil magnate had dispatched . ueane
