ing Rose Festival week, from the homes
of Louis Cauelis, 100 Cactus Drive, and
A. Refiling, Cedar Hill. The losses had
been reported and filed, and it was but

A number of valuable watches remain
unidentified, and persons who have lost
property might find it at detective

DISTURBERS FORGE

THREE WOMEN ARRESTED
Rumor Says Agent of Governor As
sociating AVith Trouble-Makers
With View of . Bringing Force

GOVERNOR AND MAYOR ACT IN
STRIKE SITUATION.
' Mayor Albee lat night instructed
Chief of Police Clark to forbid fur
ther congregating In front, of the
plant of the Oregon ' Packing - Com
pany and ..to have the police insist
that the crowd move on to a vacant
lot, a block away, where the soap
box orators may hold forth. Gov
ernor West announced in Salem that
he would 'Come to Portland today,
visit the packing plant and- hear
grievances, of both sides in the controversy.
Following continued agitation by a
crowd of more than 300 Industrial
Workers of. the World, Socialists and
others at the . Oregon Packing Com
pany's plant, East Eighth . and Bel
mont streets, all day yesterday, due
to the strike difficulty, announcement
was made by the management that the
plant would be closed, probably perma
nently, tomorrow. It was asserted by
the management that a representative
of Governor West, - sent by him ex
pressly to get a direct line on the
strike situation, had mingled with the
crowd during the day, and it'Was sug
gested that the Governor might recall
a portion of the troops from the en
campment at Tillamook and put them
on strike duty. Whether a representa
tive of Governor West actually was on
the scene yesterday was not learned.
Yesterday, after an exciting ex
change of words between employes of
the plant and strike agitators, . three
arrests were made on warrants. Mrs.
Anna Barley, 146 North Fourth street,
ex-forewoman at the plant; Mrs. J.
Rice, and Belle Goldish were taken into
custody on' charges of disorderly con
duct. Their hearings were set for next
Monday at 2 P. M. in Municipal Judge
Stevenson's court. They furnished bail.
Because' of the threatening character
of the crowd that surrounded the pack
ing plant, the management arranged
so that the 150 or more employes need
not go out for their luncheons, and
when they left at night they were let
out in small detachments, well-guarded
by policemen, while plain clothes men
circulated through the crowd. The
women employes left in small groups
between 5:30 and 6 o'clock, and were
subjected to all sorts of jeers and in
sulting remarks. ' f
Managers of the plant say they have
no desire to continue to subject the
women and girls to abuse and that the
factory will close Saturday. This Is
the busy time of year for the cannery,
which probably will not reopen, at
least, in its present location, .because
it is impossible to fill the many con
tracts for fruits.
Chief of Police Clark watcned the
situation closely all day. He does not
anticipate any violence. Judge -Stevenson
declares the strikers as well as the
packing plant will have, an impartial
hearing when the case of the three
women arrested yesterday come up be
fore him Monday.
STREET TALKS TO STOP ; AT 1 0
Police Set Time Limit on "Soap Box
. Oratory" in Open Air.
Ten o'clock was set last night as the
time limit of the oratory of street
speakers, after the police had been
called to break up a crowd which was
blockading Sixth street at Washington,
listening to orators of the Industrial
Workers of the World. Hereafter
street speakers who wish to conclude
their remarks will be obliged-to hire a
hall If they wish to speak after 10
o'clock. The police rule, which-is arbi
trary, was formulated by Chief of Po
lice -Clark on suggestion by Captain
Riley, of the first relief.
During the previous administrations
speakers of all creeds and beliefs, re
ligious and political, were allowed to
speak on street corners until midnight,
and in the heat of last election, until
about 1 o'clock in the morning.
The resulting crowds sometimes did
not break up after the speakers had
finished their talks. In two recent in
stances crowds about orators ' slowed
the fire apparatus while on Its . way
to fires.
Captain Riley and a squad promptly
at 10 o'clock last night cleared Sixth
street at Washington, and warned the
speakers that they must cease. This
procedure will be continued indefi
nitely and speakers and others who
rebel against it will be prosecuted
under one of several available traffic
and disorderly conduct ordinances. No
arrests were made last night, although
the remarks bordered on the profane
and obscene at times.

.' on St. Helens. .
Portland friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Clinton B. Smith, 646 East . Sixtieth

high on the mountain, '-lost In-a bliz
zard and half-starved. When laBt seen
they were but a few miles from Cougar
on their way to a farm-house, , where
Mr. Peaslee believes them to be..
The party started out from Portland
in two automobiles,- Thursday evening.
On July 4. they were on the roads in
Washington which were in the worst
kind of a condition. Long, before
Cougar was reached, the machine
driven by Peaslee broke down and with
the temporary repairs he brought his
party, consisting of himself, Riddell,
Miss Rumsey ' and Miss Ellis back to
Portland. Later they received word
that tire other party . had- reached
Cougar and was going -to make the
ascent of the mountain.. This they
evidently did. .
On Tuesday Mr. Carroll telephoned
his mother, living at 250 Twenty-fourth
street North, thafho and MlsB Monroe
were safe at Cougar, but that Mr. and
Mrs. .Smith- were still coming a little
ways out of Cougar. - - ,
Since then wire trouble has prevented
communication with . Cougar and no
word has been heard. .
Mr. Carroll is the chief tester for the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com

with the Pacific Electric Company. Mr.
