Work in Sight for Army of 1 500
Unskilled Men in All Lines
at $2.50 a Day.
EMPLOYERS BEG FOR HELP
Logging anj Railroad Construction
l amps, Harvest Field and Farms
All Send Same Cry for More
Men at Good Wages.
Wanted 1500 laborers to work in
Jogging camps, construction camps and
In harvest fields. Wages, $3.60 for a
aay or nine hours.
Employers were seeking on the
streets yesterday (or unskilled men to
go to work. The wage scale la higher
now than at any time in recent years.
While unskilled labor la In steady
demand, the same does not hold true
In the skilled labor market. Carpen-.
ters, bricklayers and stone masons are
unable to find employment. Men who
nave Deen accustomed to earning from
14 to $5 a lay aa mechanics naturally
are unwilling to go to work for $2.50
a day as laborers. The idle men are
largely of that elass.
Every line of activity is represented
In the cry for unskilled help. Porter
Bros, and other contractors who are
building the Southern Pacific's exten
sion to Coos Bay are in constant need
of men. They pay $2.60 a day. Men
receive free transportation from Port
land or other points on the Southern
Pacific to Eugene, from which point
they are staged to the construction
camps. If they remain on the job 30
days or more they are required to pay
no stage fee,
1,9 bo r Agents Doing Business.
Many Portland labor agents re
cently have sent men to work on the
O.-W. R. & N. Company's new line now
being built across the state from Vale,
Much of this labor also is supplied from
Spokane and Salt Lake City.
. There is demand for laborers at JJ.50
a day in logging camps, but little de
mand for skilled workmen.
The O.-W. R. & N. Company is laying
new steel through the Blue Mountains,
and several gangs of laborers have
been sent from Portland for that serv
ice. Railroads yesterday were trying
to hire 60 Greek laborers, 60 Italians,
60 Austrtans and 60 Mexicans for track
improvements. They were offered
$1.75 a day. and lodgings. These men
are expected to board themselves. The
Tate of pay. together with lodging
privileges. It Is estimated, will make
their Income equivalent to $3.35 a day.
It was Impossible yesterday to fill
these places.
There la not so much activity in
sewer and street construction work in
Portland this Summer as in some for
mer years, but It Is impossible for
contractors to get enough men.. Cities
In other parts of the state are calling
for men to dig sewers, lay sidewalks
and put down street paving. Dallas,
Or.; Camas. Wash., and Forest Hill.
Or., yesterday appealed for unskilled
help.
The harvest season is at hand and
farmers are looking for : hands. There
promises to be a big wheat crop this
year and a 'possible shortage of har
vest hands. Farmers are willing to
pay $1.75, and $2 a day, board and
lodgings. Regular farm hands, with
steady employment, are paid $40 to $50
a month, room and board.
Hay hands are scarce now. They
are worth $1.60 to $2.50 a day. Board
and room always are provided to farm
labor.
Road Work to Be Resumed.
As soon as the unmerglng of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific rail
roads is completed, aotlve work will be
resumed on the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern, which proposes to electrify
more than 200 miles of existing South
ern Pacific steam tracks. Many men
skilled and unskilled win be em
ployed in this service.
The labor market has greatly im
proved in Portland in the last few
years. Unskilled labor could be em
ployed two years ago for $2 and $2.25
a day. Now it commands $2.60. That
is the established scale and all em
ployers are willing to pay it.
So Insistent la the demand for men
In many quarters that the employment
agencies frequently send men out to
work without extracting the usual of
fice fee. If a man is without funds and
shows that he is in good faith in his
efforts to find work, the agents will
waive their right, granted by city li
cense, to collect a fee.

Commission is preparing to serve pa
pers on the Pacific Power & Light
Company to require them to construct
a 108-foot fish ladder over their dam

the early Spring. The old ladder la
only 68 feet in length.

recently appointed to the Board from

VON KLEIN SILENT:
TESTIFIES
Miss Newcomb Tells How She
Was Duped and Robbed
of Gems.
PRISONER NOT TO TESTIFY
Defendant, Identified by Hotel Men,
Bearaq on Female Admtrer When
They Meet Aragu ire Has More
t Damaging Evidence.
No defense will be offered on be
half of E. E. C. Von Klein, on trial be
fore a Jury In Judge Morrow a court
on a charge of stealing diamonds val
ued at $8500 from Miss Ethel Newcomb,
whom he is alleged to have married In
San Francisco in October, 1911. Von
Klein has another wife living in Min
neapolis. The prosecution rested yes
terday. Attorneys for the defense
then held a five-minute consultation,
at the end of which they announoed no
witnesses would be called on behalf
of the defendant. Arguments to the
jury will start at :S0 this morning.
It had been expected that Von Klein
would take the stand on his own be
half and there was considerable sur
prise when he failed to do so. Deputy
District Attorney Magulrej who is con
ducting the prosecution, was not sur
prised at the decision of Von Klein.
He believes the prisoner is afraid of
cross-examination.
Mr. Magulre had labored assiduously
to obtain Von Klein's record in other
parts of the country and Canada and
was "loaded" for him.
Magulre Ready With Picture.
Magulre had Information as to other
women Von Klein is alleged to have
robbed and one of his trump cards was
a picture of Von Klein taken in To
ronto. Canada, where Von Klein served
time for larceny In 1899. Despite tiv.
lapse of time the resemblance la so
striking as to leave no doubt that it
was the same man. The name, in
cluding the initials, is the same. The
picture was borrowed from the To
ronto police department and Is to be
returned.
' The main witness yesterday was Miss
Newcomb. She told of meeting Von
Klein in San Francisco and marrying
him after an acquaintance of less than
three weeks. They came to Portland
on the steamer Don Carlos- and stayed
at the ' Portland Hotel. The second
morning after their arrival in Portland
the husband, who married under the
name of G. B. Lewis and who told Miss
Newcomb he usually was called Jack,
left her to "go to business."
Miss Newcomb noted the absence of
her Jewels, which she had placed in
a chamois bag under her pillow upon
retiring, but it was not until after 6
o'clock that night that she felt cer
tain she had been robbed and deserted.
The "husband" failed . to appear . for
breakfast or luncheon. He was still
missing at the dinner hour, and Miss
Newcomb went to the police.
Woman' Story No Shakes, -
The witness stated that she next saw
"Mr. Lewis," as Bhe persistently re
ferred to him. in Chicago, April 6, 1913.
He looked somewhat older, but she
was' certain on . identification. On
cross-examination Wilson T. Hume, of
attorneys for the defense, tried hard
to lead the woman Into some admission
damaging to. her moral character, but
was unsuccessful.
Other witnesses yesterday were Man
ager Kauffman and Chief Clerk
Reynolds, of the Portland Hotel, and
3. H. Marble, of the hotel barber shop.
They identified NVon Klein and Miss
Newcomb aa the couple who had regis
tered at the hotel October 10, 1911, as
"Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Lewis, S. F, Ac
cording to their testimony Von Klein
gave the impression of being "some
sport." E. R. Ernie, a San Francisco
clergyman, testified that he had mar
ried the defendant and Miss Newcomb
In that city.
Throughout the trial Von Klein has
worn a smile of confidence. It radiated
in the direction of the Jurors when tha
men were picked to try him and it flashed
out intermittently while testimony
waa taken. It was particuarly bright
when ha encountered Mrs. Rena B.
Morrow, of Chicago, in the corridor
yesterday. He held Mrs. Morrow's
hand for some time and beamed upon
her. Mrs. Morrow drew away quiet,
ly. It was Mrs. Morrow who put up
$14,000 bail for Von Klein during the
extradition fight in Chicago and who
is supposed to -be financing his defense
here. She was acquitted some months
ago in Chicago of a charge of murder
ing her husband.
Another interested spectator yester
day was the mysterious woman with
the white veil, who gave the name of
Mrs. Weber and her address as Kansas
City, Mo. She has charged that Von
Klein robbed her also and has declared
that she will- "keep tab" on him until
he la behind penitentiary bars.
FAVORITE HIDDEN ON
BILL AT OJtPHEUM
Helen Trix "Pianosonffwliistleress," la American Comedienne Who Made
Big Hit in Hurry With English Audience Also la "Mary Casey."
BY "WALTER MAT.
WHAT was intended to be an in-
tervlew with Helen Trlx, the
"piaaosongwhistleress," who is
doing a headline act on about second
or third place billing at the Orpheum
this week, was lost on a rapid whirl
around the world yesterday. WTiile I
was "going over" all the sights of the
interesting places and the fascinating
things that Miss Trix has been and
done, tho Interview escaped before it
wag properly corralled.
Miss Trix has a most descriptive vo
cabulary and as fetching a way of tell,
ing things as she has of doing her
"pianosongaloguewhistle." The inter
view, however, is Just as well off lost,
that a little space might be given over
to telling Just who this Helen Trlx is.
Verily . we have somewhat of an accom
plished stage artiste among us and as
she chose to stay for three or four
years over in England and Africa and
is only now making herself really well
known in America, it becomes neces
sary to fix her in memory for certain
ly she will ceme this way again.
Therefore: Miss Helen Trls (and she's
proud she is only Miss) is a topnotcher
in the London music halls; she is the
"female Flagson" who toot London by
Btorm a few seasons ago; she is an
American, but England actually has
claimed her (exhibit No. 1 in defense of
which is a bona fide scrapbook); she is
the mysterious "Mary Casey" of New
York theatrical lore; and she's what
the sporting editor would refer to as
"a young comer."
It is worth while mentioning that she
also waa one of Tony Pastor's attrac
tions at his Fourteenth-street theater
in New York; she once got into New
York headlines with Mme. Tetrasaint,
not by chance, but by merit, and she
la the lassie who almost became en
tangled with the New York customs
officers when she stepped off the liner
and "forgot" to declare some of her
dresses.
Miss Trlx begati at 12 to see the
world and she's been seeing it since.
Where Moses was picked up in the bull,
rushes Is only one of the places of in
teresting Biblical history she has vis
ited. She has lounged about in two
or three of the places claimed every
now and then as the original Garden of
Eden (Klamath Falls country except
ed). This is her first trip to the West.
In fact it is her first trip in the states
outside of Pennsylvania and New York.
Her home is in Newmanstown, Pa., and
the family tree Is of the Yelser species.
They are all musicians.
"My mother was church singer, my
dadlv a minstrel man and brothers
and sisters are all musicians," declared
the versatile comedienne in one of the
Intervals between Cairo and Khartum.
"Coming of English-Dutch parentage,
London assumed something of a right
to claim me, notwithstanding I am an
American."
Whether it be in crinoline, slashed
skirt or in boy's attire. Miss Trix reg
isters a hit every time up. (Baseball
parlance Is permissible. I presume, now
that the Beavers are winning.) And
when she sings as a boy there's noth
ing hold about it. It Is accurate por
trayal. Miss Trix also writes both the music
and words for the songs she sings.
It may appear that these are a good
many feathers to stick In one girl's
cap. but they're genuine. Miss Trlx Is
so confounded modest about it all and
has so much proof at hand, not to men
tion the success of her act this week,
that all doubt d"ue to the "lure of the
feminine" I jpaas iu as irrelevant.
