fOattneed From First Page.)
It waa empty. Thorough search of the
city waa then made.
Bed tags began to disappear sud
denly and by o'clock no mora could
be found, tha Workers having evidently
gone Into biding to escape arrest. Since
that tiros vigil haa continued and to
night's trains have been met by spe
cial forces and thoroughly searched.
Krery suspicious character waa taken
to headquarters.
The citizen police have been armed
with wagon spokes and hickory ax
handles for use aa clubs, and these
weapons have proved most effective.
Streets Rrlag Pati-elled.
Tonight the streets are under patrol,
white badges of special police being
everywhere In evidence. Guards are
stationed on all roads leading Into the
city with orders to arrest every suspicious-looking
character and turn
back all those who cannot give a good
account of themselves snd satisfactory
answers as to their business. The
business men are determined to stop at
every outset the Workers' movement
on the city and by the terms of the
resolution psssed by the Chamber to
day, they pledge to that end their
-services, morally, financially and phy
sically." . It Is a story of a united city In arms
to resist to the last what It believes to
be a well organised attempt to produce
n slate of anarchy here, a story of a
city proud of Its Institutions and de
termined to stand by them.
All saloons were closed at :S8
o'clock tonight by order of the Mayor
and the order waa scrupulously
obeyed. Notices were sent out during
the day by City Superintendent of

when they assembled at police head
quarters tonight to break up any as
sembly where men were gathered In
large numbers and to arrest those who
resisted, to arrest every roan who at
tempted to speak on the streets whether
within the limits of ordinance or not.
All arrested men are to be given a diet
of bread and water until they are
sent out of town.
Hoquiam, Montesano, Elma and every
town and hamlet in the county will
unite with Aberdeen In efforts to resist
the Workers and there will be no placa
of refuge In Chehalls County for the
Invading horde. The Workera. will be
chipped out of the county In boxcar
lots when sufficient have been accumu
lated. Sheriff Ed Payette and a corps
of deputies will assist In this plan.
"No city was ever before Invaded by
these Workers." said W. J. Patterson,
head of Hayes A Hayes Bank, and one
of the. most prominent men of Grays
Harbor, "or has ever before placed Its
cltlsenshlp at the back of Ita police
force and city officials. We propose
here to show these men that Aber
deen Is a law-abiding community and
demand obedience to laws of men who
come her. With this kind of backing
we believe that the city administration
can win Ita fight to maintain order.
-With tha backing of the good
dtlsens." said Mayor Parks, "we. have
no doubt, but that we can keep order
and preserve law. We shall win this

ARMY DESERTIONS FEWER
Falling Off Attributed to Severe
. ' Punishment Prescribed.
WASHINGTON. Nor. 14. The extra
ordinary decrease in desertions from
the Army In the past two years was at
tributed by General Alnsworth. Adjutant-General.
In his annual report Just
made public, to the vigorous measures
that have taught the enlisted men how
relentlessly desertion Is punished.
There were 118 desertions In the Isst
fiscal year, or 1.0 per cent of enlisted
strength of the army. This Is the low
get rate for 0 years, save In the -Spanish
War in 18.
General Alnsworth voiced the hope
that relaxation of severe measuree of
punishment. -Will not be brought about
through the clamor of sensation mon
gers or the urging of theorists seeking
to exploit themselves or their views
In the face of adverse experience and
regardleaa of the Interests of tLe s-rr-Ice.'
The Army cannot be made a reform
atory without grare Injury to Its mor
als and Ita efficiency, aald General
Alnsworth.
GENERAL ATTACK IS MADE
Socialist Speukera Rail at Men and
Conditions to Street Crowds.
"Tha war between this country and
Spain was not tha result of any
patriotic motlre or to right a wrong,
but to permit the American capitalists
to rob Cuba, as they were Jealous of
the large amount of money that the
Spanish capitalists were wringing out
of that country." Thla was one of the
arguments used in behalf of Socialism
by Speakers Lewis and Meyerwlta at
a meeting held at Screnth and Wash
ington streets last night.
Their especial grteranca appeared to
ba against Gipsy Smith. He was said
to be too much of a plutocrat and ac
cused of refusing to associate with the
crowds that assemble at Burns Ide and
Second streets. The llarrlman system,
department stores and Portland news
papers were attacked.

trial for a statutory offense In connec
tion with the imprisonment of Miss
Jessie McDonald, a school girl. In a
room next to his office for It months.

Counsel for McDavit announced that
on Monday a motion for a new trial
would be riled. Sentence will be
passed at that time. Tha extreme
penalty that McDavit can receive Is
one year In prison and a fine of $1000.
Concluding one of the swiftest crim
inal trials of magnitude on record in
hls county, the attorneys for both
sides made arguments today for and
against Dr. McDavit.
Assistant District Attorney Hodge
opened the argument for the state, de
claring McDavlt's previous record, eveu
If testimony had been weak in the
present case, would leave no doubt as
to his guilt. District Attorney Good
sell closed the state'a side, expressing
confidence of a conviction. If the Jury
of young ranchers did their duty by
the young girl, whose pitiful story of
helpUss subjection to alleged hypnotic
power had stirred the emotions of a
curious courtroom crowd.
McDavlt'a counsel. John Campbell,
arguing for the prisoner, brushed
aside all the testimony except that of
Miss McDonald, and asserted that It
was her word only against McDavlt'a.
"McDavit la the victim of this girl's
Jealousy," said Campbell. "When she
found he did not care for her, ahe had
him Jailed."
Campbell asserted that the dentist
had frequently tried to Induce the girl
to leave him. but being madly In love
with him. she refused.
"That girl wrecked this man's home,"
was Campbell's frequently reiterated
declaration.

ANALYZED
Lumber Employs 87.8 Per
Cent of Total Steadily. ,
COTTON IS MOST REGULAR
Railroad Repair Shops Fourth In
.Order of Total Employed and
Seasonal Industries Draw
on Other Occupations.
WASHINGTON. Nor. z4. (Special.)
The Census Bureau's preliminary state
ment on the separate subject of the
"constancy of employment" says that
the cotton Industry employed the larg
est percentage of Its total force In the
time of minimum activity. The largest
number of employes engaged In any
one Industry, however, was In the
manufacture of lumber and timber
products. In which 695.019 on an aver
age are reported. In the country as a
whole, the largest number, 719.160, was
reported for November, and the small
est, 649.259, for January, equal to 87.8
per cent of tha maximum. The timber
camps show a variation from 222,664
In December to 170.687 in July, equal
to 76.6 per cent of the maximum. Tha
actire season In the woods covers dif
ferent months In the various sections
of the country, and If the operations of
the timber camps In each geographic
division are considered separately,
there is a much wider variation In the
number employed. In the sawmills the
greatest number, 872,000, was employed
in October, and the smallest. $08,000.
In January, equal to 62.8 per cent of
the maximum.
This Industry Includes the logging
camps, saw. shingle, and planing mills,
the manufacture of lath, cooperage
stock, sash, doors, blinds. Interior finish
and other mlllwork; also the wooden
packing-box factories.
Siaehlae Shops Keep SO.T Per Cent.
The next largest number was em
ployed In foundries and machine shops,
for which there was an average of
621.011 wage earners reported. The
greatest number. 697,224. was employed
In Deoember and the smallest number,
482.080. In January, equal to 80.7 per
cent of the maximum.
' Cotton factories rank third, the aver
age number of wage earners being
878.880. The greatest number, 388.629,
was reported for December and the
smallest. 874.432. for January, equal to
97.8 per cent of the maximum. Em
ployment was thus more regular than
In any of the other large Industries.
Repair shops of steam railroads form
the fourth in order, the average number
of wage earners being 282.174. The
greatest number. 301.638, waa employed
in December and the smallest. 268.700.
In May, equal to 89.1 per cent of the
maximum.
Printing and publishing Is the only
other Industry that gave employment
to- more than 250,000 wage earners on
an average during tha year, there being
258.434 In 1909. The greatest number.
169 884. waa employed in December and
the' smallest, 251.757, In July, equal to
93.2 per cent of the maximum.
Seaaoaal Oeeeparloaa Shewn.
Seasonal Industries, "such as the
manufacture of brick and tile, cannfng
and preserving, the manufacture of
cotton-seed-oil products and of Ice,
naturally show a great variation In
the number of wage earners employed
during different months.
In the brick and tile Industry- there
were employed on the average during
the year 74.528 wage earners. The
largest number. 104.939. was reported
for July and the smallest number,
88.812, for January, equal to 36.5 per
cent of the maximum.
There was even a greater variation
ln the canning Industry, for which a
yearly average of 69,968 wage earners
waa reported. The largest number.
164,800, was reported for September and
the' smallest number, 19,998. for Jan
uary, equal to 12.8 per cent of the maxi
mum. The large numbers required for
this Industry at the height of the sea
son are obtained principally from the
agricultural districts In which the can
neries are located, but many come from
the cities, and during the dull season
they seek employment in other oc
cupations. INSURANCE MEN NEUTRAL
