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.

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. According to river

Owing to the unsatisfactory Weather conditions and the fact that a wet night had set in, Christofferson
did not make his evening ascent, and he went up alone in the afternoon, using the opportunity to travel
over the Dark at a height of 3500 feet. .... ' .
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.

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.

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.

HOWARD IS J0D6E NOW
RECESS APPOINTMENT MADE BY
PRESIDENT TAFT.
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.

Socialist Candidate for Presi

Crowd of 7000.
ROOSEVELT IS ATTACKED
Taft and Wilson Escape With Bare
Mention Era of Social Democ

"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.
Morgan Co.; McCormick, of the har
vester trust, and Dan Hanna, of the
coal trust. But men are Judged by

with him enthusiastically.
"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

who then pronounced us 'unaesiraDie

opinion also. He discovered several
planks in the Socialist platform that
were good- enough to steal and Incor

The celebrated Dr. Abemetby of London was firmly cf the opinion that disor

recent medical writer says: " every feeling, emotion and affection reports at tha
stomach (through the system of nerves) and the stomach is affected accordingly.
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 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

transformation of the trusts by the
people. Socialism Is Inevitable. Capi

Social Democracy Anticipated.
"The present evolution can only cul

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

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

Preceding the Portland meeting, 1200
