FORT STKVKNS. Or., June 20.
'Special.) In the discovery of a body
declared to be that of Private Craw
ford, the location of Private -Lowe in
s, hospital at the Presidio near San
Francisco, and a letter from Corporal
Shade indicating- that he fled to Can

mystery that has surrounded the dis
appearance of the Government's three

against Private Waldo Coffman, who
is charged with spreading treasonable
propaganda among the troops, .is be

Identification of the body tonight
was established by Private Frank Hoi.
brook, who lent Crawford a pair of
leg-gins, bearing- his Initials "F. II."
These leggings were found on the
body.
IdrntlflratlOB Is Strengthened.
It is also said that the uniform had
certain. Insignia missing-. These devices
were not worn by Crawford because be
had but recently been transferred from
the Ninety-third Company to the quar
termaster's corps and as a consequence
bad not been supplied, with the orna--ments
worn by that branch of the serv
ice.' Private James Crawford disappeared
the plght before the trial of Coffman
was 10 begin. He was last seen In a
saloon on the riverfront In the City of
Hammond.
The bartender who was In charge of
the place on the night of the disappear
ance, when Interviewed about the oc
currence, said that though Crawford
had been drinking-, he observed that he
seemed anxious to go to his Quarters
and that he could not In any sense of
the word be termed drunk.
Soldier Avoids Friend.
He declared that instead of accepting
drinks that were purchased for him by
a civilian friend. Crawford emptied the
contents of the whisky glass In a re
ceptacle at the front of the bar. He
further thought that Crawford depart
ed through a side door near the water
front about midnight, to get rid of his
somewhat Insistent friend. The soldier
has never been seen alive since that
developments indicate that an
attempt to rescue Coffman has been
frustrated by the fact that the Informa
tion leaked out in time for the local
authorities to guard against the possi
bility of such a happening. A stranger
at the garrison who was seeking an
interview with CofTman was prevented
by Sergeant Hartman, who says he be
lieves he recognised him as John Ken
neth Turner, the magazine writer.
Another Missing; Man Found.
Another of the three missing wit
nesses. Private Lowe, who failed to re
port from the Presidio, has been dis
covered in a Government hospital at
the California post. Deposition of his
evidence has been obtained.
A letter received by one of the sol
diers from Corporal Bhade, who, prior
to his desertion, had acknowledged that
he was offered heavy bribes. Indicates
that he is now in Canada. Shade was
subjected to continual threats by Coff
man's frionoa and testified on tho first
dey of the trial that he was offered
1100 and a suit of clothes to desert.
It is generally believed that the Gov
ernment will take steps to extradite
him from Canada.
The Army, authorities are anxious to
learn just what pressure was brought
to bear on Shade to induce him to de
sert, as it is a known fact that he was
well satisfied with the service. An
other significant point Is that it has
been discovered tbat the suit of cloth
ingK;which he wore when he left be
longed to one of Coffman's most inti
mate Socialistic friends.
Colonel Kxplalna Opinion.
It is reported that Colonel Straub,
commanding officer, indignantly refutes
the idea that the Socialists are respon
sible for the disreputable tactics that
have been adopted at Fort Stevens. In
fact he declares that the methods so
far adopted are those of Anarchists and
certainly not thoso of any political
party. On the other hand he is being
bitterly denounced by the leading organ
of the Socialist party, the Appeal to
Reason. He has been denounced in un
measured terms by the Astoria Social
ist paper, the Oregon Ballot, which
charges that Coffman is to be "rail
roaded." Socialists have subscribed to
the Oregon Ballot for the Colonel for
an indefinite- period,
Coffman triumphantly announced the
day before he was pjaced under arrest
that in three weeks he would have the
Colonel converted. It seems that the
Colonel believed that Coffman held
rather advanced ideas also.
Private Cameron, who was also in
vestigated some time ago, told the
Colonel that though he was not a mem
ber of the I. W. W., he was in sympa
thy with them, or words to that effect.
He said capitalists, soldiers and detect
ives were not admitted to membership
in the 1. W. W. Colonel Straub there
upon told Coffman to take charge of
Cameron and try to bring him to an
understanding of the danger of such
ideas.

social and dance at Swiss HalJ

should be remedied and a stronger co
operation of both branches for social

CHICAGO, June 20. (Special.)
Building trades were thrown In a tur

Trades Council officers say thev are
willing to arbitrate and especially to
take up the demand of the marble fit

The attitude of the labor leaders is
that they cannot arbitrate so long as
there is a lockout ordered against mem.
bers of the Trades Council. They wish
the lockout order withdrawn and a re
quest for arbitration made.

OREGON CHAMPIONS WIN
Johnston and Kottrell Victors nt Del
Monle.
DEL .MONTE, Cal.. June 20. Wil
liam Johnston and Ella Fottrell won
the final match of the Del Monte ten
nis doubles today, defeating Clarence
Griffin and John Strachan in a fast
four-set match. These two teams had
met twice before, with honors even,
and so the contest today was in the
nature of a rubber. It was wntchet
with keen interest, as it was the last
meeting between the two combinations
before the Pacific Coast doubles tour
nament at Los Angeles in July, and
one of the teams is expected to win
that event and represent the Pacific
Coast in the National doubles at
Onwentsi, 111.
Johnston and Fottrell are 18-vear-old
youths and hold the Oregon state
doubles championship. All four com
petitors In today's match are club
mates of Maurice E. McLoughlin, the
National champion.
The tennis was clean cut and fast
from start to finish. In the first eet
all four were at their best, and the J 8
games played were productive of rallv
after rally, with all four at the net.
and of high lobs, deep smashes and
hard drives. The tremendous pace told
heavily upon the physical strength of
Griffin, and he did not show up so
well in the next three sets. Strachan
fought hard all the way.
Fottrell played the best tennis of his
career a great reversal over the er
ratic game he put up with Johnston
In tho semi-final round of the tingles.
Johnston was there, as usual, with his
hard smash - and swing drive, and at
low volleying he was clearly the su
perior of tho. others.
The final score was 10-8, 6-0, 3-6 6-3
In favor of Fottrell and Johnston. '
The only championship decided today
was the women's doubles, which was
won by Miss Sarita Van Vliet and Miss
Anita Myers, who defeated Miss Bessie
Culley and Miss Laura Ilerron in the
final, 6-1. 6-2.
MILITANTS START ROW
ADVOCACY OF DESTRUCTIVE
TACTICS CAUSES CLASH.
Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont Clicers Eng.
lisl Women Who Urge Violence at
Suffrage Alliance Session.
BUDAPEST, June 20. Militant suf
fragettes nearly caused a serious row
at today's' session of the International
Suffrage Allimice. Mrs. Anne Cobden
Sanderson and Mrs. Charlotte Despard.
both English women, advocated mili
tant tactics and protested against their
exclusion as fraternal delegates from
full participation in the proceedings.
They say. as fraternal delegates, they
are entitled to the same rights as the
official delegates.
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont manifested
sympathy with the attitude of the
militants by standing up at the conclu
sion of Mrs. Despard's speech and
cheering and waving her handkerchief.
The non-militant delegates, however,
resented the tone of the speeches as
an abuse of the courtesy extended by
the congress in permitting Mrs. Cob-den-Sanderson
and Mrs. Despard to
speak at all. but the tact displaved by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman-Catt, of New
York, president of the alliance, pre
vented a rupture.
Mrs. Catt said the congress was anx
ious to welcome the delegates of all the
suffrage societies on equal terms, but
that the difficulty in so doing lay in
adjusting the constitution of the con
gress to meet present conditions, when
the number of suffrage societies had so
Increased.
Mrs. Catt protested against a few
women claiming all the honor und
glory as heroines and martyrs in be
half of woman suffrage, when, she
said, for many years, there had been
women equally devoted to the cause.
Mrs. Stanley R. McCormick, of Chi
cago, was one of the five new members
elected to the board of officers.
San Francisco is believed to have a
good chance of securing the next con
gress. Mrs. May Wright Sewall pre
sented the invitation of the Panama
Pacific Exposition to hold the next ses
sion in San Francisco. A decision will
be made tomorrow.

LEAP FROM BRIDGE KILLS
Following Attempt to Throw Mrs.

Span, Apparently Insane Man
Ends His Own Life.
TACOMA. Wash., June 20. (Special.)
Following a struggle in which he an.
parently attempted to throw Mrs.
Ruth Frances Allen age 19, oft the
Lincoln bridge here this morning at
6:30 o'clock, Edward B. Mygatt, alto of
Portland, hurled himself from the high
Epan to the railroad tracks below. He
died shortly after.
Mrs. Allen arrived in Tacoma at ft
o'clock. Mrs. Allen said she met My
gatt after her arrival and that it was
her presence in Tacoma that started
the quarrel which ended in the trasredv.
Mrs. Allen has a husband in New York
City and also a child. By a coincidence
ner Husband a name is the same as her
own family's.
Only Mrs. Allen's frantic grappling
with Mygatt. in which she was able to
clutch the railing of the bridge, kept
her from being hurled over. Mygatt
threw himself over when he saw bv
stauders coming to the aid of Mrs. Al
len. Mygatt losane J Ilellrf.
Apparently not greatly shaken by
having struggled for her life on Lin
coln bridge this morning- with Edward
P.. Mygatt and having seon him leap to
liis death 100 feet below, Mrs. Allen left
tho police station tonight with her twc.
months'-old baby in her arms. The
child was brought from Portland by the
19-yoar-oId bride's mother, Mrs. F. M.
Allen, of 955 Cleveland avenue that
city.
They save the address of Myaatt's
parents as 507 Grand avenue. Indepen
dence, Mo.
"Surely he must have been crazy."'
she explained, "for no man would at
taok me like that if he was sane.
"My mother put me on the train and
sent me up here to look after some
real estate she has near here. I did not
know that Mygatt was at the depot, but
when we reached Tacoma he stepped
up to me and asked me where I was
going. I permitted him to take me in
a taxi to the Donnelly. During the
ride he insisted that I must go back to
Portland. He seemed to think I was
absent from home without my mother's
consent. He was persistent and. not
wishing to stand in front of the hotel
disputing with him, we walked down
the street.
Warning ,t Clvea.
"Without a word of warninsr he
seized me about the waist and "lifted
me nearly over the bridge rail. With
one hand I caught hold of the bridge
railing and. pulling myself part way
back, I got my foot under a brace and
clung on for dear life. Presently I felt
his ffrip relax and saw two men run
ning toward us. Mygatt then released
me, but he struck me twice with his
fist. .
"Just before the two men readied us
Mygatt seemed to Jump straight up into
the air. but he really went forward In
a leap over the railing. As he want
over he turned head downward and
when I looked over the rail he was
flattened out on the planks below I
think his mind was affected in & rail
road accident in California. He waa k
trainman."
Mygatt and MissAllen were in Port
land until Thursday afternoon, when
they were seen leaving a house at 955
Cleveland avenue, occupied by the
woman's mother. They had lived there
for some time, according to the neigh
bors, but kept much to themselves and
were unknown in the neighborhood
Mrs. Allen, who retains custody of the
younger woman's baby, was uncom
municative, but said that Mvgatt was
the Hon of wealthy parents in Kansas
City. The girl, who is 19 years, has
been married, but her mother refused
to say to whom. The man and girl left
the house Thursday evening intending
to go to a theater.
