10 LABOR DAY PICNIC WINS AGAINST RAIN Partly "On" and Partly "Off," Crystal Lake Outing Is Attended by 700. GOVERNOR ILL, IS ABSENT T. J. Oody Takes First Honors in Shingle-Packing Contest; Spec tator and Milwaukle "Cop" Have Misunderstanding. What waa to have been the grand Labor day celebration Xor the organ ized laborer of Portland at Crystal Lake Park, near Milwaukle, yesterday, was partially abandoned because of the Inclement weather and because Gov ernor West, who was to have been the main attraction, could not attend on account of sudden illness. However, some 709 people, determined to capi talize their day off, armed themselves with umbrellas and raincoats and set out cheerfully to enjoy a day's outing. Discouraged by the severe rainstorm of Sunday night, it had been decided by the committee on arrangement to declare the entire programme oft and this word wa. sent to many of the labor councils and scattered broadcast before the time yesterday morning when it waa scheduled over again in part. They were led to this final de cision by the deceptive clearing of the weather and by the appeal of the members of the Meat Cutters' Union, who had roasted 1200 pounds of meat and prepared other edibles for the grand barbecue. So betwixt under standing and misunderstanding the pic nic was partly "on" and partly "off." Merriment Bold Sway. Nevertheless the crowd was patient through it all and went on with the merriment, as if J. Pluvlus and Gov ernor West had never existed. The old and the young, the gray and the bald, anyone and everyone played in the rope swings marked "for children only," threw eggs at the famous "Af rican dodger" (six shots for 20 cents and a cigar to win every time an egg was squashed on the negro's head); they rode on the ocean wave, "bucked" the candy-box roulette wheel, shot balls at gold-headed doll babies and cut up capers in divers other ways. Perhaps the crowning event of the day so far as interest was concerned was the shingle-packing contest, which was finally won by J. J. Cody, a mem ber of the Shingle Weavers' Union, Lo cal S8. Thousands of shingles were heaped upon an improvised roof and the various contestants for the prizes of a suit of clothes and a hat sped against time in packing them into the regula tion bundles, 250 shingles to the pack. By the rules of the contest 25 layers had to be weaved into each side of the bundle and none of the shingles could be more than two Inches apart. If any one package had a mistake in it the pack was thrown out of count. In the first preliminary round of the . competition Cody and John Clifford, a 21-year-old Sellwood boy, tied for first honors. In playing off the tie Cody won on aheer technicality. The spec tators were with the curly-headed Sell wood boy from start to finish, because it was evident that be was speedier in laying the packs. In each of the 15 minute rounds he packed nearly six bunches, or about 1600 shingles, a whole package ahead of his nearest rival, but in the two rounds he made up three packages that had more than the regu lation number of layers. The feat per formed by the Sellwood youth was all the more remarkable in view of the fact that he deserted the shingle-weaving trade eight months ago and has been sawing since that time. At this task he suffered a finger cut off at the second joint, which has not yet com pletely healed. Otber Events Exciting-. The other entrants in this contest were Fred Hauser. Phillip Baker, Louis Ham and Carl Morgan. The logrolling contest on the arti ficial ponds within the park was won by William Thompson, of Milwaukle. First prise in the 100-yard dash adver tised to be for "the amateur champion ship of the Pacific Coast" was won by M. W. Brecount. The union label contest, testing the ability of the -entrants in the collec tion and decoration of union labels, created' a wide interest among the union and non-union " plcknickers. Among the men the grand award went to A. L. Adams, while the second prize was given to R. G. Corey, who is him self not a member of a union. By winning over Miss Lucy White, who had been slated to win, by a single point. Miss MUler was presented with first award In the union label contest for the ladles. And my! how they danced! The or chestra arrived on the grounds early In the afternoon and they were kept busy until midnight. Preliminary to the grand prize waltz, which came late In the evening, folks of every stripe and disposition Joined In the gay whirl. The thin and the fat, the awkward and the lithe all tripped through each of the formations. All of the usual dances were performed and many entirely new and unique maneuvers were "done in the open." Because of the wet grounds the baseball games did not materialize. It was announced that Governor West could not attend on account of severe illness. He notified the labor officials yesterday morning that his physician would not allow him to keep the en gagement. For this reason none of the speeches scheduled were delivered. The other speakers, J. L. Ledwldge, W. H. Daly. Mrs. Cotterill, W. H. Fitz gerald and James Maguire, were on the grounds, but thought it inadvisable to conduct the platform programme in view- of the circumstance that the main address of the day was to have been given by the Governor. By no means the least exciting event of the day, however, was one not on the official programme, namely, a fight between a spectator and a policeman and a near riot which followed. While the shlngle-packlng contest was being waged the City Marshal of Milwaukle asked one of the crowd to step back from the forbidden ringside. The young man, known as "Blondie" Foster, balked and a straggle ensued. It is alleged that the officer struck him down and later waUoped him with the "billie" while he was on his back. Anyhow, many of the onlookers talked for a time of mobbing the Marshal and it was only the Judicious Interference of the masters of ceremonies that averted further trouble. But before long the participants In the discussion "made up" and went back to view the shingle packing competition. The celebration yesterday was under the auspices of the Central Labor Council and the Shingle Weavers' Union. H. H. Clifford was chairman of the day and waa assisted by the fol lowing committees: Central Labor Council, A. L. Adams, P. D. Markell. Gus Linde, George Fifer. T. H. Burchard and J. L. Ledwldge: for the shingle weavers. John Clifford. Charles Reynolds. George Templer and William Thompson.

With BOO Oddfellow excursionists on board, the steamer Monarch, regardless of the low stage of the river steamed up to the Oaks yesterday afternoon as easily and prettily as a motor launch.

' . At that height he shut off his engine and headed direct for the water. His dive was a plunge rather than a float, and the machine headed earthwards no rapidly that there was consternation among the crowd who feared disaster. conduct another picnic next Sunday at North Plains, Wasningion vounty.

CROP ALLOWED KILB0URNE Columbia River Orchard Com pany's Claim Is Land Only, Held. One of the side suits in connection with the defunct Columbia River Orchards Company was decided yester day by Judge Bean in the United States District Court, when a restraining order was denied against Edward C Kil- bourne from cutting and selling tne oropa from 4150 acres in Gilliam County and known as tne TODey Drotners ranch. It was alleged that De Larm, acting for the Columbia River Orchards Company, has purchased this land for the company with its bonds, but that the title had been placed in Kilbourne. In deciding to refuse the application for a restraining order Judge Bean stated that It was not the crops but the title to the land that was the real ques tion in issue and as it could not be re moved from the Jurisdiction of the court it was no more than right that those who had sown the crops and cared for the land under apparent right should have the benefit of them and no Interest would be harmed thereby.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1913. i r7pf - . , sill STAGE DOGS TAKEN Pound Man' Grabs Muzzleless Canines at the Baker. MANAGER SENT TO RESCUE Councilman Instead, Who Talks to Grim Custodian, Gets Desired Result and Thespians Re ' ' turn to Rehearsal, Bill Bernard has a dog. N Any statement about Bernard Is in teresting to Portland theatergoers, but a story with the mere fact as its motif that the Baker Stock Company's popular stage director has a dog could scarcely be expected to "get by." Even a press agent wouldn't ask it. So there is more to this story. Ber nard has two dogs. Also Helen Strick land nas a dog. And Baker Moore has a dog. Alice Patek, Robert Conners and John Sumner each have a dog. These thesplans all belong to the new Baker Stock Company, ana yesterday they all took their dogs to the re hearsal. - Of course, as the occasion marked the first assembling of the company, its members met each other for the first time, mostly, although a few had worked with some others previously. And the dogs were all strange to each other. .- Now, a rehearsal In progress and a bunch, of strange dogs mixed up "be nind" gives a glimpse of possibilities, but there is yet more to the tale than that combination indicates. Enter tbe Potuidman. A Deputy Poundmaster comes into the story. The rehearsal of "The De serters" had been put nicely under way. Stage Director Bernard was busy at nis place and Manager Baker, who had been 'sizing up bis new nistriomo material, was saying- sotto voce to Milt Seaman, best ever." when pandemonium seemed to tear loose out by the stage entrance, where Bernard's two dogs, Miss Strick land's dog, Moore's dog. Miss Patek's dog. Conners' dog and Sumner's dog were being herded. Deep bayings, shrill kiyis, resounding oarKings ana pierc ing howls, mingled, came pouring in. together with vigorous human language of the sort not found in fcaDDatn. scnooi quarterlies. "Look to your dogs," yelled Property man Tony Tabrachi, poking his af frighted head from behind a wing. "The pound feller's gettin' 'em." It was wrong to let anytmng inter rupt a first rehearsal, of course, but Stage Director Bernard led the rush which ensued, and every dog-owning thespian of the company followed, pell melt. At the stage door all seemed to be over. The burly poundman had round ed up, corraled and tied the seven dogs and was preparing to, lead them away. "They hain't got no muzzles," was his sole reply to indignant demands by the actors and near-tearful protests by the actresses, whose pets were in custody, and he remained entrenched and un moved behind the new muzzling ordi nance. "Get Baker; he's a Councilman," somebody suggested, and a concerted rush for the manager was made. Every body talked at once, and some were slightly incoherent In their earnestness, but the fact was borne in upon Baker with exceeding clearness that his play ers expected nay, demanded that he must procure the release of the dogs. Waving back the actor folk, he went to the fray. It was Councilman Baker who talked to tne poundman. What form of per suasion he employed is not recorded, but tbe dogcatcher went away dogless. It was Manager Baker who returned then and remarked to Bernard: "Bill, don't you think you had better get your people back to that rehearsal?" The stage dogs were herded in the wings the rest of the day. and seven nice, new muzzles, varying in size, were delivered at the Baker last evening. 200 PHOTOGRAPHERS DUE Northwestern Artists Will Be In Ses sion This Week in Portland. . ihniit 9nn nf thA nhoto&rraohers of the Northwest are expected to be In pnrtianH tomorrow to attend the 12th annual convention of the Northwest Photographers Association, whlcn will open at the Multnomah Hotel at 10 THE OAKS WITH 500 Photo by D.

Commission Runs Until March, 1917 Appointee Is Confident Charges Will- Be Disproved. BELLINGHAM, Wash.. Sept. 2. Clinton W. Howard, of this city, who was recently appointed by President Taft to succeed to the vacancy on tbe Federal bench of Western Washing ton, caused by the resignation of Judge C. H. Hanford received his commission this afternoon, under a recess appoint ment, and will assume the duties of his office about October 1. The commission will hold until the end of the next session of the Senate, March 4, 1913. Referring to charges which were filed with Senator Poindexter and, referred to the Judiciary committee of the Sen ate, but which had not been acted upon when Congress adjourned, Mr. Howard said: "The charges of improper conduct in the Root-Gordon matter, and of being a lobbyist are false and their origin and motive is well understood locally. The charge that I am the attorney for several relatively large corporations is true, but I know that my past representations of corpora tions no more disqualifies me for the impartial duties of this high office than did similar representations of some of the large corporations dis qualify Judge Donworth." Mr. Howard said he had no fear of the disposition the Senate will makei of. the pending charges after an im partial investigation is made and that he expected the appointment would be confirmed. ALBANY RESIDENTS WALK Accident Puts Streetcar System Out lor Several Days. ALBANY. Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) Albany will have no streetcar service for three or four days because of an accident which happened at 6 o'clock last evening, when workmen on the Oregon Electric let one of their power wires fall on the Portland, Eugene Eastern trolley at the intersection of the two lines at Fifth and Lyon streets. The Oregon Electric wire carried 1300 volts and the trolley wire only 500, and the contact burned out the armature in the machine in the local electric plant which furnishes power for the streetcar system. It will require three or four days to secure a new armature and repair the damage. A car crowded to the doors with people who bad Just come from the ball game In Athletic Park was ready to leave the southern end of the line when the accident happened, putting the system entirely out of commission.

ROOSEVELT IS ATTACKED Taft and Wilson Escape With Bare Mention Era of Social Democ racy Predicted' as Result of Economic Revolution. "When a nice, fat Spring chicken walks into your kitchen, lies down on the floor, sticks Its feet In the air and asks to be dressed and tried, then you may expect the trusts the forces be hind the candidacy of Theodore Roose velt to build up a party for the eman cipation of the common people," de clared Eugene V. Debs, Socialist nomi nee for President, in an address at the Gipsy Smith Auditorium yesterday afternoon. And the responsive ap plause from his auditors, estimated at 7000 in number, shook the windows and even produced a vibration of the rafters in the immense frame building. This prediction by the Socialist Presidential candidate came as a cli max to a discussion -of the three parties Republican, Democratic and Progressive which, he asserted, were alike in that they represented as many divisions of the capitalistic class. Progressive Promises Scoffed. "Regardless of which of these parties succeeds," said Mr. Debs, "the con dition of the worklngmen will remain tbe same. The trouble with the Re publican party is that it has outlived its usefulness and a worklngman has no more place in its ranks than John D. Rockefeller has in a circus. The trouble with too many laboring men Is that they are laboring under the im pression that their interests are iden tical to those of Rockefeller. We find other workingmen are Democrats be cause their grandfather was. "Now the Progressive party promises us a new deal. But who says so? George W. Perkins, ex-partner of J. P.

"Some people think Socialists are harmless dreamers and theorists not to k f.ir.A .hut an aires we are more respectable than we were ten years ago," commented Mr. Debs. "Roosevelt, who then pronounced us 'unaesiraDie citizens.' evidently has changed his opinion also. He discovered several planks in the Socialist platform that were good- enough to steal and Incor porate In the platform he wrote for the Bull Moose party." -CaIIawIt. o V.1 a nrltlHum Of the Old parties, Mr. Debs emphasized the need of co-operation of the working people through the Socialist party as the only hope of effecting improved conditions.

It is the vital center of the body ." He continues, " so we may be said to live (rtreur) the stomach." Ho oes on to show that the stomach la the vital center of the body.

"The education, organization and co operation of the workers, the entire body of them, is the conscious aim and the self-imposed task of the Socialist party. Persistently, unceasingly and enthusiastically this great work Is be ing accomplished. It is the working class coming into consciousness of It self, and no power on earth can prevail against it in the hour of Its complete awakening. "The laws of evolution have decreed the downfall of the capitalist system. The handwriting is upon the wall in let ters of fire. The trusts are transform ing industry and next will come the transformation of the trusts by the people. Socialism Is Inevitable. Capi talism is breaking down and the new order evolving from It Is clearly the Socialist commonwealth. Social Democracy Anticipated. "The present evolution can only cul minate In industral and social democ racy, and in alliance therewith and pre paring the way for the peaceable re ception of the new order is the Socialist movement, arousing the workers and educating and fitting them to take pos session of their own when at last the struggle of the centuries has been crowned with triumph. "In the coming social order based upon the social ownership of the means of life and the production of wealth for the use of all Instead of the private profit of the few, for which the Social ist party stands in this and every other campaign, peace will prevail and plenty for all will abound in the land. The brute struggle for existence will have ended, and the millions of exploited poor will be rescued from the skeleton clutches of poverty and famine. Pros titution and the white slave traffic, fos tered and protected under the old order, will be a horror of the past." Woman Suffrage Pleaded.' Mr. Debs concluded his address with an eloquent appeal for woman suffrage In this sta:e, expressing the hope that in the coming election the voters of Oregon would follow the example of California and Washington and give to woman the ballot to which she is en titled. The Socialist nominee arrived in Portland yesterday morning from a tour of the. State of Washington and Immediately following his Portland meeting departed for California, where he will open his campaign in that state at Oakland tonight. While the audience awaited the ar rival of Mr. Debs at the Auditorium yesterday afternoon, Albert Streiff, a Socialist organizer from Idaho, chair man of the meeting, delivered the usual Socialistic tirade against the press for alleged distorting and sup pressing of facts. In -the next breath, Mr. Streiff quoted from The Oregonian In substantiation of bis arraignment of Roosevelt. 1 Preceding the Portland meeting, 1200 Socialists, carrying red flags and ban ners, paraded the principal business streets.
