SOAPBOX ORATORS OBEY CITY'S ORDER With Leaders in Jail, I. W. W.'s Keep Within Bounds Pre scribed by Mayor, j SPEECHES ARE MORE TAME Single Offender Slakes Escape, as Police Hold Officer by Mistake. One Says Lives Not in Danger, at Least for Present. "With most of their leaders la jail and & determined force of police and deputy sheriffs waiting- for them. International Workers of the World did not try to defy the orders of Mayor Albee by meeting at Sixth and "Wash ington streets last night, though the word had been passed that they would ke there. A curious throngr gathered at the cor. ner shortly after 8 o'clock, when a pro cession of men behind an I. W. .W. ban ner came up Sixth street. There were probably 250 men in the line. As they passed, their leader shouted that they were grolnir to the Plaza blocks, and hundreds followed out of mere curi osity. The speakers took up their position on the D. P. Thompson fountain In Main street between the two Plaxa blocks, where the Mayor had said that orderly speaking would be permitted. But the meeting didn't bear much re semblance to that of Tuesday nlfrht, which Sheriff Word and the police broke up after Tom Burns and other agitators had abused the authorities and shouted that they would fly the red flag over the Courthouse. Speeche Toned Down. A man named Frank Cady acted as chairman. The four or five speakers who followed him contented themselves with haranguing those in the crowd to Join the I. W. W. All the speeches were much toned down. As Henry Schoen, an I. W. W. leader, was speaking from the fountain, an other I. W. W. mounted a soap box on Kourth street and- began to harangue. Deputy Sheriff F. J. Phelan made his way through, the crowd just in time to hear him shout. "We will put the red flag over the Courthouse." "You will not!" cried Phelan, and made a leap for the speaker. The agi tator jumped oft his soapbox and dived into the crowd, with Phelan hot after him. Phelan plumped squarely into a group of policemen, who mistook him for the agitator and held him just long enough for the offender to get away. That, however, was the only disor derly language uttered in the course of the evening. There were veiled threats in the speeches of several of the speakers. Life 3Vot In Dgcr Now. "We don't Intend to resort to any methods that will endanger life," said a speaker introduced as "Brother Worker" Ashlund, "not until every other means has been exhausted," he concluded. He and others repeatedly spoke of "revolution," and addressed the crowd as "fellow slaves." "No I. W. W.'s are on the way here from San Francisco," said anothet . speaker, introduced as George Reis, "but If we do send for them all the Sheriffs in Oregon can't keep them out." Sheriff Word and 12 of his deputies mingled In the crowd, while Police Captain Moore had 20 uniformed men and a Hozen detectives under him on hand to preserve order if it became necessary. No arrests were made. Fully three-fourths of those who filled Main street in front of the foun tain and trampled the grass of the Plaza blocks on both sides when the meeting first began were persons who had come to the meeting out of curi osity to see what would happen. When nothing even mildly exciting developed, they began to disperse, until by 9:30 o'clock the speakers were ad dressing only small groups composed for the most part of plain" clothes men. with a smattering of genuine I. W. Ws. Mrellist Close Before Time. The meeting ended at 9:50 o'clock, ten minutes before the time set by Chief of Police Clark last week for all street meetings to come to a close. Lucy Parsons, a woman who said that her father was one of th-e anarchists hanged for- murder after the Haymar ket riots in Chicago in 1886, mounted a wood stool and began to speak at Sixth and Washington streets. She had been talking about a minute when Police Captain Riley came along In the police automobile, which was driven slowly through, the crowd. The Parsons woman held her place until the automobile was almost on her, when she jumped and fled to the curb. She was not arrested. The Parsons woman went from Sixth and Washington to the Plaza meeting, where she mounted another stool and began a meeting of her own. She at tacked Captain Riley there and, in a recital of the incident, declared he had tried to run over her. The police let her talk. Earlier in the evening, the police stopped an attempted meeting of I. W. W. at Second and Burnside streets. The speakers here, however, were per mitted later to discourse at Park and Burnside streets. Mayor Albee repeated his order that no street-speaking, ex cept at the Plaza blocks, will be per mitted for the present. Sheriff Word also said he would stop all speaking in the streets except on the Plaza blocks. Sheriff Warns Outsiders. The Sheriff said that if any attempt is made to import outside men to aid the I. W. W. in their fight he and his men will deal promptly with the new comers. "I have a good big bullpen out at the Kelly Butte rockpile," said the Sheriff. The Sheriff said further that he would take up with Mayor Albee the matter of cleaning out the North End. The nine men arrested Tuesday night by the Sheriff's men and police at Sixth and Washington streets remained in the County Jail last night. Bail was fixed at $500 each. Those in custody at the Jail, against whom a charge of disturbing the peace was placed, are: Tom Burns, the chief I. W. W. agitator, whose vilification led the Sheriff to arrest him and stop the meeting; Rudolph Schwab, I. D. Kansley, James I. Brown, M. J. Berg man, C. E. Peterson, Frank Blchl, Ja cob Goldberg, George Allen, Charles MeDonald, M. I Cowherd and J. W. Hilton. SPEAKING STOPS AT CAXNERT Socialist Leader Arrested After Challenging Deputy Sheriff. Sheriff Word put an end to soapbox speaking by I. W. W. agitators in front of the plant of the Oregon Packing Company, East Eighth and Belmont streets, yesterday, when he sent Deputy Sheriffs Curtis and Lumsden over there with orders to arrest all who tried to speak. When Charles McDonald, secretary of the Socialist party, defied Curtis" invi tation to step down off" the box and dared the officer to arrest him,-he was promptly sent to the County Jail. M. L. Cowherd and J. W. Hilton. I." W. W. agi tators, were arrested soon after by the deputies. All were booked on a charge or oisiurDing tne peace. Bail was fixed at 1500 each. ... .. , No others tried to speak and there was no further disorder at the niam Early in the day the police on guard had received no orders relative to speaking and the initiative in such action was left to the Sheriff's men, but me mgnt rener under Sergeant Oelsner went on duty with positive orders to arrest an speakers. Nearly 125 girls worked at the plant of the Oregon Packing Company all day. This is a complete force. Except for the activities of the agitators, the strike at the plant is ended. Another full force will be put to work tomor row. JURY SPLITS IX. I. w: W. CASE Trial Six Stands 4 to Actjult, 2 to Convict Mrs. Schwab.
