THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1913. ANGLERS, HELD UP, USE DRINK AS BRIBE Masked "Highwayman" With Big, Revolver and Torch Stops Three Auto Parties. FISH, NOT MONEY, WANTED Water Bailiff Repents When Bottle or "Rare Old Rye" Is Mentioned. Intruder Dumped by Road as Whisky Runs Out. GRANTS PASS. Or., July 20. (Spe cial.) Three automobile parties were held up on the road between Grants Pass and Savage Rapids Wednesday night, by a masked "highwayman" who confined his "touch" to one bottle of whiskey. The story of the "holdup" did not become public gossip until to day, when some members of the party decided the joke was too good to keep. Bob Taylor, of Medford, a. water bailiff, is said to be the bojd "hold-up" man and he was looking-for fish in stead of cash. That is, Taylor though he wanted flsh until he was approached and "fell" for the bottle bribe. Those in the first party held up were ex-Mayor Myers, Deputy District At torney Johnston, ex-Police Judge Opdyke and B. M. Hall. It was Judge Opdyke who saved the flsh. The party was returning from an angling trip to Savage Rapids when they saw a torch blazing in the road. The machine was stopped in the belief that another automobile was in dis tress. As soon as the car stopped the torchbearer boarded the running board and brandishing- a. big revolver, ordered the motorists to hold up their hands. They obeyed. Taylor wore a black mask and members of the party say he had been drinking. Judge Opdyke caught a whiff of the "highwayman's" breath, and with his hands still point ing to the stars, suggested that the fellow might like a nip of "rare old rye." Taylor acquiesced instanter. He for got all about his designs on the fish baskets and consented to Join the party in a little Joy-ride. The bottle Judge Opdyke had offered did not last long and when it was empty the fishermen had no difficulty in rolling their guest to the roadside. In the second party "held up" were: E. IS. Dunbar and I. A. Robie, book keeper and manager respectively of the California Pine Box Company. They also had been fishing in Rogue River. Taylor had Just revived from his state of coma at the roadside when the sec ond automobile appeared. He still wore the black mask and brandished a torch in one hand and the revolver in the other. The pockets " of Dunbar and Robie were searched after Taylor had gone through the flsh baskets and found nothing. Then came a touring party whose names could not be learned. It is not known whether Taylor relieved the tourists of their valuables. Taylor is said to have been sent to Josephine County to watch for viola tors of the fishing laws. BLAME GIVEN TO DANIELS (CnntiMied from Page One.) and our propaganda were directed was not one of flags, but of bread." Socialists Blame Newspaper. The memorial then reviews condi tions in Seattle and alleges that a Se attle newspaper has bent its energies "toward the creationand infuriation of a criminal, lawless and intemperate mob to avenge itself upon us, .to de stroy our liberties, offices and book stores and to threaten our very lives." Then taking up the visit of Secre tary Daniels and hi3 speech at the Rainier Club Thursday night, the mem orial says: "Our propaganda and our educational efforts steadily prospered under the daily fire of abuse and misrepresenta tion until the coming to this city of Mr. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, who on Thursday evening, July 12, delivered himself of an ill-considered address. With vessels of the Pa cific fleet at anchor in the harbor here, with sailors and officers, on shore leave, the speech amounted to and had the early effect of most incendiary ut terance, resulting almost immediately In the sacking and destruction by fire of our several organization headquar ters. Hlgat to Speak Questioned. "We question the practice of Gov ernment officials speaking on public questions to private clubs from which the public is excluded. Although de livered at the private club, extracts of the speech quickly appeared in all newspapers, with the lawless and de structive results outlined. "Due directly to the official emi nence of the Secretary,- his authority and Influence over such a large number of naval men not ordinarily a contingent of the city's population, the Secretary's words afforded just the spark needed to inflame the artlflciallzed conflagration and at the same time had the effect of making cowards of the civil police and render ing them unable to cope with the pro gramme of riot, arson and destruction." Socialists Shift Blame. The memorial then recites that a secondary cause was the attack made on tlwee soldiers by a crowd about a street speaker on Washington street Thursday night. This meeting, it Is declared, was not conducted by the So cialist party, "and therefore cannot be presented as an extenuation of the lawless, riotous and unwarranted in terference with our orderly and law ful processes by naval and military fragments under what appears to have been probably foreknowledge upon the part of those in authority, for at the very time the riotous destruction was proceeding, the Secretary and Ad miral Reynolds were dining together aboard the West sVirginia." Concluding the memorial says: "We therefore, after . due delibera tion, place responsibility upon "the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Josephus Daniels, who is already making efforts to explain. But we submit, Mr. Presi dent, that no amount of explaining can restore to us our estate in both moral and physical particulars held by us prior to disasters resulting from his remarks." Mayor Cotterlll's emergency order forbidding street meetings today was the only one not overruled by Superior Judge Humphries yesterday and It was rigidly enforced by the police. Charges that the riots were the re sult of "unofficial orders issued to the men of the Paciflo reserve fleet" were made by speakers at a meeting of the Seattle Open Forum on the campus of the University of Washington today. Several members of the Socialist par ty and of the Industrial Workers of the World were present and said they had been warned of the disturbance Friday night by members of the In dustrial Workers of the World, who were sailors on the cruiser Chatta nooga. One speaker declared that he saw an Army officer in uniform stand in automobile and shout "Good work, boys, good work" to the sailors as they passed him at Fourth avenue and Pike street. Councilman Oliver T. Krickson blamed the police for the trouble and charged them with inefficiency for not having broken up the mob. SEW COXSERVATIOX ADVAXCED Secretary Daniels Says Xature "Will Unfold More "Wealth in America. TACOMA. Wash.. Julv 20. "Conser vation of the Almighty" was the theme chosen by Secretary of the Navy Daniels today in paying an eloquent tribute to Mount Rainier and the Rainier National Park. The Secretary had Just returned from a day's trip to the mountain, and was entertained at breakfast at the Tacoma Country Club. With Mrs. Daniels and Lieutenant-Commander Palmer, naval aide, he left at 12:45 o'clock today for San Diego, Cal. His new conservation Idea he spoke of as a great unfolding process of na ture and God a process which would unfold to the American people the things they need when they are need ed. Harnessing of waters to make power and the discovery of Alaska gold at a time when free silver was caus ing economic troubles he cited as ex amples of the unfolding process.

CHINESE REVOLT iROWS VXJAX SHI KAI XOT TO LEAD TROOPS AGAIXST REBELS. Southerners Charge President With 1 2 Crimes Warships at Wu Sung Command Situation. PEKIN, July 20. The Chinese gov ernment is still dispatching troops to subdue the revolutionary movement in the disaffected southern provinces, but has not withdrawn any soldiers from Mongolia. President Yuan Shi Kai is anxious to proceed south to lead his troops, but his associates have persuaded him to remain in Pekin, for fear that he might be assassinated on the way to the scene of hostilities. It now is generally believed that General Sun Yat Sen. former provis ional president of the republic, who has taken sides with the southerners and who is now at Nanking, and Gen eral Huang Sing, former generalissi mo of the revolutionary army, never intended to support President Yuan Shi Kai permanently, but only to use him to bring the revolution to a suc cessful end. HONGKONG, July 20. Governor FI1 Chan, who at Canton has proclaimed the independence of the province of Kwang Tung, charges President Yuan Shi Kai with having committed 12 crimes. The list includes the contract ing of a loan and negotiating the Russo-Chinese treaty on Mongolia with the possible abandonment of Outer Mongolia. Business has almost been suspended and there is much apprehension for the future. LONDON, July 21. Ten warships, in cluding four cruisers at Shanghai, in support of the southerners, according to a Pekin dispatch to the Telegraph, are cruising near the Wu Sung forts. Seventy-five hundred southern troops have surrounded 1600 northerners at the Kiang Nan arsenal and its fall Is inevitable. JOB OFFERED TO BRYAN Secretary Can Command $2 4,000 a Year as Press Agent. NEW YORK, July 20. (Special.) Arch Selwyn. managing director of a theatrical company, has written Secre tary Bryan: "Sir If the newspapers are correct in quoting you as saying that your sal ary as Secretary of State is Insufficient for your means, that you are therefore compelled to add to your income by outside work,' I beg leave to offer you a position that will pay you twice as much as the United States Government pays and which will call for your in dividual attention. In other words,, I offer you $24,000 as chief publicity pro moter of (naming his company). "The position is one of importance, and like your present high office is of world-wide Influence, for the play is about to be presented not only in the United States, but in every civilized center of the world.

PAVING TROUBLE SETTLED La Grande Property Owners AVilJ Continue Improvements. . LA GRANDE. Or., July 20. (Spe cial.) Street Improvement activities were shifted yesterday to Jefferson street, which lies along and adjacent to the O.-W. R. & N. right of way through the city. The permanent sew ers ajid water mains were completed and the grade stakes for curbing set Saturday. Work will be commenced on Jefferson Monday morning. The difficulty over the paving of Spring avenue now appears to be set tled, the property owners along that avenue making it known that they want their street paved this Summer. The Council this Spring made it possible for competition in paving and it now looks as though the Dollerway Paving Company would get some of the paving contracts in La Grande. Several other firms are bidding for the business and may be successful In getting some work. Heat Prostrates' Quinaby Man. QUINABY, Or., July 20. (Special.) With the thermometer at 90 degrees in the- shade and vastly warmer in the sun where he was at work about his farm, August Barnlck, well-known in this neighborhood, suffered a sunstroke yesterday and lies in a precarious con dition at his home- nnalil n t, u - nourishment. DIRECT ELECTION METHOD LACKING Failure of States to Provide Machinery Complicates Situation. . DEMOCRATS ARE ANXIOUS Legality of Action of Governor of Maryland in Assuming Right to ' Issue Writ Questioned by Lawyers in Congress. . WASHINGTON. July 20. Complica tions are predicted as certain to arise over the installation of the direct elec tion method for the selection of United States Senators. Most -of the trouble is expected to result from the failure of State Legislatures to provide prompt and appropriate methods for carrying out the recent amendment to the Con stitution. Leaders of the Senate majority are anxious about the situation. Should two or more vacancies on the Demo cratic side of the chamber occur the narrow margin of power !n the body would be gone. Many States Remiss. There are 32 Senatorial terms- which will expire on March 3, 1915. Some of the states affected already have pro vided a method of popular election of Senators, but a. great number of them have not, and vacancies caused by death or resignation may call at any time for a popular selection from states which have not yet acted. The Texas Legislature has been called to meet in a special session to con sider, among other things, the passing of laws for election machinery in ac cordance with the amendment. The Governor of Maryland has decided he Is empowered under existing laws to issue a writ of election to fill the unex pired term of the late Senator Rayner, Senator Jackson now is serving by des ignation of the Governor. Ioue RalMd In Maryland. Such constitutional lawyers of the Senate as Senators Root and Suther land are sard to entertain doubt as to tha power of the Governor to issue the writ, and the appearance of a. new Sen ator from Maryland to take the oath of office may mark the initial fight in tue Senate over the Senatorial election ma chinery. The situation is complicated by the amendment further limiting the Gov ernor's power to fill vacancies in the Senate. In the past a Governor has filled vacancies occurring when the Legislature was not in session. Here after a Governor may not fill a vacancy unless the Legislature of his state has empowered him to make temporary ap pointments until the people may fill the vacancy by election. "HIKERS" REACH SALEM DAX O'LEARY LEADS AT EXD OF 5 3-MILE WALK. Foot Trip From Portland to State Capitol in 13 Hours and 48 Minutes. SALEM, Or., July 20. (Special.) Dust covered and with perspiration washing streaks down their faces, five stalwart pedestrians with the famous Dan O'Leary in the lead reached Salem this afternoon at 2:48 o'clock as the mercury was making, desperate efforts to reach the 100-degree mark. They sauntered up to the State House, where ended a jaunt of 53 miles, the start having been made at 3 o'clock in the morning from The Oregonian building. The time was 12 hours and 48 minutes, the walkers having announced when they left Portland that the distance would be covered in 12 hours flat. "We could have made it in the time prescribed," said the veteran leader, "but it was a hot day and I didnot try to walk the men fast. It wasfun for me, and I think the others enjoyed the trip, too. There is no use talking, walking is the best exercise for' men, women and children. A man who has been ill can do nothing better than take a long walk as soon as he gets on his feet." The members of the party, besides O'Leary, were George Leonard, of Chi cago; Charles Olmstead, of Oregon City; Thomas Furlong, of San Fran cisco, and H. L. Hanfian, of Stock ton, Cal. FAITHFUL GREET "DANIELS Continued from Page One'.) Nation will be stationed in Pacific waters, and it is probable that a move ment will be put under way at the dinner for a greater recognition of Portland's availability for naval uses. Secretary Daniels' trip through the West was designed primarily to give him an opportunity of inspecting the Navy-yards on the West Coast, as, he already has made an inspection of the yards on the Atlantic seaboard. Be fore he left Washington, Mr. Daniels said he wanted to learn something of the capabilities of the yards on the Pa cllic, and also gather information as to the needs of additional yards or yard facilities. Secretary Daniels beamed broadly on his fellow Democrats when he men tioned the direct election of Senators, and said that it would be the means in several states at the coming election of displacing Republicans with those of their own political faith. . Oregon Declared "All Right." "But Oregon is all right already, with two Demorcatic Senators and a Demo cratic Governor." he added. "Not bad for a Republican state, is it. Secretary?" chuckled Colonel Robert A.' Miller, "and there's Washington, more Republican territory, with a Democratic Governor." . - In the opinion of Secretary Daniels the Administration currency bill will pass with little trouble. "It will simply be agreed to in Dem ocratic caucus," he said, "the Repub licans will be given a chance to re lieve their minds concerning it, and it will be passed." "Do you know John Burke, of the Treasury, former Governor of North Dakota?" asked Collector of Customs Burke. "I know him well," said the Secre tary. "He is one of Democracy's ablest orators." "He is my brother," said the collec tor, proudly. Although the time was short, men tion of the weather was inevitable. "Cold" Brings Criticism. With a perfectly straight face. Sec retary Daniels said that he was anxious to get to Southern California, as "this cold Northern climate did not suit his So'uthern blood." Colonel Miller inferred that the Sec retary was poking fun at the heat that he encountered in Portland, "Summer capital of America," and like a gallant native Oregonian, leaped to the defense of the Oregon climate. "It's hot today all right," he said. "We have a few hot days in the Sum mer, but the nights are always cool." Municipal Judge Stevenson led the grins as the Colonel continued, warmly: "And you must not forget. Secretary, that we are only 60 miles from the sea here in Portland. Every day at 4 o'clock a sea breeze comes up and blows for an hour, and cools us right off. Yes, indeed!" The grins -widened as Secretary Dan iels drew and consulted his watch. Sea Breeze Disappoints. "Your sea breeze is Just an hour and 50 minutes late today," he said gravely. - Secretary Daniels wore a dark suit with a necktie of the time-honored type affected by Democratic states men a black band tied in a sprawling bow. He speaks with a slight South ern drawl, slowly and deliberately and in a low voice. He carries a black cane, on which, for no apparent rea son except that it is a cane, he leans picturesquely. Mrs. Daniels remained on board the Pullman. OLDEST CHURCH FOUND EXPLORERS MAKE FIXD OFF COAST OF YUCATAN'. Small Camera, Held In Water by Tall Scientist, Records Key to Early Language. .' NEW ORLEANS, July 20. (Special.) The ruins of the oldest Christian church in America have been discov ered on the Island of'Cozumel. off the Coast of Yucatan, by Professor Syl vanus G. Morley and Jesse Nusbaum, of the Harvard-San Diego expedition. Cozumel has not been visited by white men for almost' a century, and Morley and Nusbaum had thrilling adventures, but deny that its people are cannibals. The scientists were equipped with a moving-picture outfit, but when they left the Island for the mainland their canoe was upset and much of the pho tographic material was spoiled. Nus baum, however, who is tall, held a smaller camera above his head as he made the mainland and saved the plates of the Mayan ruins, which threw much light on the early civilization of Southern Mexico. Morley is at work deciphering the "inscriptions and be lieves he has found a key to the Mayan language. While Cozumel Is only 30 by 7 miles in extent, it was found extraordinarily rich in monumental architectural re mains. It was here that Cortez had a fierce battle with the natives end erected what is declared to have been the first Christian church in America. The material gathered by th expe dition will be displayed at the S-ih Diego Exposition and after that find permanent place in the Harvard Museum and the Museum of the S-.hool of American Archaeology in Santa Fe, New Mexico. REAL FOX HUNT DEPICTED Headline Film at Columbia Theater Is Full of Thrills. A real fox hunt, with" a real fox doubling his trail and throwing the hounds at fault: a burglary, a riotous scene on the Stock Exchange, a fly ing leap . from horseback to a fast moving train and a death struggle on the rear platform are Just a few of the thrillers in just one film at the Colum bia this week. A chemist has discovered a. formula which will revolutionize the cement In dustry, and the concrete trust wishes to buy it, but is repelled. The head of the trust, playing on the love of his daughter and the chemists's young brother-in-law, beguiles the youth into a burglary. The chemist's wife dis covers the act and begs a friend to get the stolen paper back, and then chase begins. Thrill follows thrill as the chase of the fox and the chase of the burglar cross arid re-cross. All comes out right and ail is forgiven, it goes without saying. Scarcely less- stirring is a Western "cow-puncher" scene, while a bibulous clubman, and a young bride whose husband's friends send all the trades men in town to the honeymoon flat, furnish the laughs of the bill. WOUNDED ADMITS KILLING In Broken English, Stranger Says V He Slew Three Men. ALBANY. Or., July 20. (Suecial.) With his head and arms covered with cuts and bruises, a man who appears to be a Greek, but who says he is a Mexican, appeared at the home of A. Y. Smith, 10 miles southwest of Al bany, today and announced in broken English that he had killed three men. Later he denied this story and so meager is his supply of English that It has not been ascertained Just how he sustained the wounds. Those who have talked to the man say he does not appear to be insane. Sheriff Bodine has gone to the Smith home to arrest the stranger. When he told the story St the killing the man said he had killed the men on the railroad and this led to the be lief that a fight had occurred among foreign railroad laborers. But no re port of the conflict has reached the officers here. $20,000 ORCHARD SOLD Wisconsin Wheat Grower Bnys 4 0 Acres at Hood River. HOOD RIVER, Or., July 20. (Spe cial.)

BOARD SEESWAY TO SATISFY TRAINMEN Proposal Made to, Take Up Employes' Demands Before Those of Roads. CONSENT IS EXPECTED Willingness of Men Unofficially Ex pressed, While Managers, It Is Believed, Will Xot En- -ter Objection. NEW YORK. July 20. An agreement to arbitrate first the wage and other demands of the trainmen and con ductors against the Eastern railroads and then to take up the roads' griev ances against the men is the probable outlook of conferences to be held here tomorrow between members of the me diation board created by the Newlands act and representatives of the employes and of the roads, according to opinion tonight. Judge William L. Chambers and G. W. Hanger, the two members of the board already confirmed by the Senate, will arrive here tomorrow when the conferences will begin. The business at hand- will be to frame a stipulation acceptable to both sides as to questions to be arbitrated. Employes Aro Insistent. The employes assert that only their demands, which have been the subject of negotiations for months, shall be taken before the mediation board. The railroads, on the other hand, have pre sented demands for changes in existing agreements with their employes in matters outside the sphere of the pres ent controversy for arbitration. A. B. Garretson and W. G. Lee, the heads of the conductors and trainmen's organ izations, declared that the men will not agree to simultaneous arbitration - of the roads' demands, announcing that should the roads persist in their de clared intention of pressing their griev ances at this time, the strike recently authorized by vote of the employes would be called at short notice. Separate Action Likely-. In view of the attitude of the men, belief exists that the mediators will recommend an agreement to take up first the men's demands and after these have been decided by the arbitral body to give the railroads their day in court, as it were, and settle this dispute in separate arbitration. The employes unofficially have indi cated a willingness to let matters take this course and it is not believed the conference committee of managers, which i3 handling the dispute for the roads, will offer serious objection.
