Attempt to Burn Prison Fol

Against Sheriff.

OREGON CITY, June 13. (Special.)
Fifteen rioters held In the Clacka
mas County Jail this afternoon at
tempted to burn that structure. The
attempt followed the miscarriage of a
plot on their part to escape by means
of an attack on Sheriff E. T. Mass and
men when they brought them their
noon meal. This first plan was frus
trated by a deputy on duty in the rear
of the jail Thursday night, who over
heard the prisoners planning to over
power the officers when they came in
with dinner and "beaX them to jelly."
The 15 men being held for trial at
the July term of the Circuit Court have
been indicted by The grand jury for
rioting during the disturbance of last
Tufsdav night. "While most of them
li ave worked in the local mills, inves
tigation has shown that they have only
worked for from three to six days, and
it is believed thev were sent here to
get positions, by the plotters in Port
land, so as to be inside the plants when
the signal for attack was given.
Late today they stuffed rags, part of
which they tore from their clothes, and
old newspapers into a ventilating pipe
that runs from the exercise room of the
Jail into a vault in the rear of the
building where the county records are
Kept.
Fire TliKeovered in Time.
This mass of paper and rags was
tired from the jail side and burned
readily, a draught of exhaust air car
rying the smoke into the vault. The
smell of burning paper attracted em
ployes in the Courthouse and the Sheriff
was notified.
On entering the vault room Sheriff
Mass found a stream of sparks and
smoke pouring out of the opening in
the wall. He at once unreeled the fire
hose and by hard work managed to put
the blaze out before the county rec
ords had been damaged. Immediately
after the danger had been averted the
Sheriff and a force of deputies entered
the jail and removed all paper, scrap
of wood, loose articles or other matter
that might be used in a second attempt
upon the building.
The plot to attack the Sheriff or his
deputies at meal time was reported to
the county official this morning when
guards were changed. The deputy on
duty Thursday night told of overhear
ing the men planning to strike down
whoever brought their dinner at noon
time today and to escape over his pros
trate body through the open door
"Warned of this, dinner was taken in to
the prisoners by the Sheriff and two
heavily armed deputies, and no violence
was attempted.
During the afternoon the men resent
ed the miscarriage of their plans by
rattling the barred doors, pounding the
walls and shouting defiance to the
county officers.
Prlnonors Make Threats.
Later in the afternoon prisoners sit
ting near a grating were overheard to
say that they "would get him yet for
sticking us up on the bridge.' This
threat is supposed to be directed at
Sheriff Mass. who, with five deputies,
captured 28 of the malcontents just be
fore dawn Wednesday morning.
Hereafter no deputy will go into the
County Jail unless accompanied by two
other officers, and guards about the
building at night will be doubled. This
last step will bo taken to offset any at
tempt at jail delivery that may be made
by sympathizers from Portland or else
where. That such an attempt may be
made is thought possible, as Thomas
Burns, one of the leaders of Portland
Socialists, and who was arrested here
Wednesday night for refusing to obey
the emergency rules against street
speaking established during the excite
ment following the rioting, returned to
the city today in spite of the fact that
one of the conditions of hfs release was
that he would .remain away until Mon
day, the day of his trial.
Today Burns came here and attempt
ed to enter one of the West Side mills,
but was recognized and barred at the
gate. He then returned to the city
proper and passed the time interview
ing local sympathizers.
STRIKE AT MILLS IS DKXIED
agitators at Oregon City Are Hooted
by KmpIoes at Mills.
"There i; no strike among the paper
mill operatives at Oregon City," said C.
Shuebel, an attorney of that city, yes
terday. "Since the eight-hour schedule
went into effect the men employed at
the Willamette and Crown mills are
better satisfied than they have been
for years. The men at the Hawley mill
are working on a 10-hour schedule, but
they are now getting time-and-a-half
pay for overtime.
"There seems to be some little
trouble." continued Mr. Shuebel,
"brought on by men who have been dis
charge! at the mills, incited by outstde
organisers, but as to there being any
real strike, neither the men who are
w orklng nor the other people of Ore
gon City know anything about it.
"An agitator, I think from Portland,
tried to make a speech to a number of
men at they were coming from work
j iiis morningf, but they refused to lis
ten to him, and when he persisted in
lolling them that they should strike,
they hooted him."
Mr. Shuebel is a law partner of W.
S l" Ren. He was a member of the
House of the last Legislature from
Clackamas County, and led the fight
for an eight -hour law, calculated for
the special benefit of the men employed
in the Oregon City paper mills.

ffh case of the United States against
Alphene Venator, a contest over a
desert claim in Barren Valley, was
transferred from Vale to Burns and a
large number of witnesses were ex
amined before a referee here this
week. The case was on trial at Vale
for nearly a month and the Govern

says the change was made to pile up
costs for him. He says the month at
Vale cost him $2000, not counting his
attorney's fees.
The contention of the Government is
that Mr. Venator has not reclaimed the

graduated in 1892.
Mrs. C. H. Stewart, of this city, who
was one of the speakers, is a member

She is another divorced wife of J. W.
Pettyjohn, but is not related to Cecil.
"I don't blame Mr. Harriman a bit
for killing Cecil." said Thomas Petty
john today. "I or any man would have
done the same thing under the same
circumstances, for we all must protect
our homes. My half-brother never
showed any signs of insanity and never
was in any sort of trouble before that
I know of. He was a quiet, retiring
fellow and never had much to say to
anyone. Instead of being mentally de

ESCAPE ATTEMPT FAILS
COXVICTS FOIIED JtJST AS THEY
SEE FREEDOM IX GRASP.
On Reaching Women's Apartments
in Prison, Men Are as Secure
ly Barred as ,ln Cells.
SALEM, Or., June 13. (Special.) At
least two convicts, as agile as a met
ropolitan scaling-ladder fireman or :
circus trapeze performer, made a dar
ing attempt to escape from the peni
tentiary yesterday.
The men, by' feats of climbing, seem
Ingly almost impossible, from a yard
where they were at work, scaled the
walls of the main cellhouse and, gain
ing the roof, made their way to i
scuttle over the women's apartments.
With a rope ladder they lowered them
selves to the floor of the attic and
with saws enlarged a ventilating aper
ture, so they could slip through It
The rope ladder again was , brought
Into use and they lowered themselves
to the floor of a room below, a dis
tance of about 14 feet.
The men, upon reaching the women's
apartments, found themselves as se
curely barred from escape as they
would have been in their own cells
They, however, rummaged through bu
reau draws and wardrobes and depart
ed as they had entered. The attempt
to escape was not learned until
o'clock, when the women returned from
the basement, where they had been at
work. They were startled by the top
sy-turvy condition of their rooms and
called the matron.
Superintendent Lawson found a saw,
cigarette papers and a rope ladder in
the attic. Footprints on the floor in
dicated. that at least two men were in
volved In the attempt to escape, the
scratches on the outside walls of the
main cellhouse indicated where the
men had scaled the walls, pipes,, win
dow ledges and Iron rods, aiding them
in their perilous climb and descent
The superintendent in trying to dis
cover the guilty men, is questioning
and watching the most agile ones in
the institution.
They evidently were not familiar
with the building, for the apartments
into which they lowered themselves
In their effort to escape are as secure
as any In the penitentiary. 9

The petitions to refer the workmen's

The Secretary of State rejected 610

who were scheduled for commissioner-
ships under the act, say they have
found numerous fraudulent signatures
on the petitions and it is probable that
they will be behind the move to have
the petitions thrown out.
The petitions to refer the sterilization
bil had 8522 signatures, 247 of which
were rejected, leaving a total of 8275.
Mr. Olcott rejected 201 signatures to

ating $75,000 for buildings for the Uni

It is not believed that there will be
any effort to have petitions, except
those relating to the workmen's com
