GOVERNOR WEST.
Let them enjoin and be damned;
we will go right ahead and attend to
our business," said Governor West
last night on learning that Attorney
Nichols, of Baker, who Is represent
ing the Copperfield saloon men. In
tended to enjoin him and the troops
from further interference with th
saloons In the place.
"We will show them," (continued
the Governor, ,lthat there are three
branches of government in Oregon:
the Legislature, to make laws: the
courts, to interpret laws, and the
executive department, to enforce laws.
"We are performing our duty at
Copperfield and will keep right oa
doing so."
COPPERFIELD, Or.. Jan. 2. (Spe
cial.) Martial law was declared at
Copperfield by Colonel B. K. Lawson
this afternoon. He was supported by
five members of the Coast Artillery.
Miss Fern Hobbs. private secretary to
Governor West, demanded that the sa
loonmen in the Council resign, and they
refused. She tnnn left town and mar
tial law was declared, all the saloons
were seized, and the city officials
placed under arrest.
The saloonmen were given until to
morrow at 4 o'clock to ship their' bar
fixtures and liquors out of the county,
on penalty of their confiscation.
The city officials under arrest are
not even permitted to communicate
with their attorneys.
Armed Men Are Ob Gnard.
Armed men tonight stand guard over
the saloons, which are tightly under
lock and key. The Mayor, H A. Stew
art; City Recorder Clark ana Coun
cilmen Wiegand, "Warner and "Wood
bury, who are in the saloon business,
are under arrest.
Colonel B. K. Lawson, of the Coast
Artillery, and five militiamen and two
guards from the Oregon State Peni
tentiary, Frank Snodgrass and John
Abbott, are in control of the town,
after the most exciting day in the his
tory of the little mining camp, which
six years ago was the liveliest camp
In Baker County.
Citizens Fully Armed.
Miss Fern Hobbs, Governor West's
private secretary, did not declare mar
tial law. Her only connection with the
case was to demand of the Mayor and
other city officials that they sign blank
resignations. This they declined to do
and then it was. at a mass meeting at
which everyone of the SO or 83 resl
dents of the town were present that
Colonel Lawson took control and read
to the assembled multitude the proc
lamation of martial law which he had
brought with him from Salem.
There was no display of arms, no
fighting, but when the military author
ities had taken control they searched
and disarmed the citizens and they
found virtually everyone fully armed.
Injunction to Be Asked.
Whether or not Copperfield will be
under martial law tomorrow night is
a question citizens of Copperfield are
tonight unable to answer. Word from
Baker is that injunctions are being
prepared to prevent the destruction of
the liquor and bar fixtures at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, as has been
threatened by Colonel Lawson, In the
event that the owner do not before
that time ship It out of the camp.
How these Injunctions could be
served Is a question which Is bother
ing the five prisoners here tonight
Roads between Baker, the county seat,
and Copperfield are impassable, owing
to heavy snows. It has been learned
that an effort to charter an engine to
make a special trip from Huntington
to Copperfield was unavailing. There
is doubt here whether It would be pos
sible to serve an Injunction by wire,
and there Is doubt, also, whether,
should an injunction be served, it would
be obeyed by the military authorities.
Shooting," la Order.
All this morning the little town of
Copperfield was In a state of expec
tation, awaiting the coming of Miss
Hobbs, who. It was thought, was com
Ing unattended to close the Copperfield
saloons. The idea of a joke was dis
pelled. however, on advice from Baker
that Miss Hobbs was coming attended
by prison guards and militia and it
once there was advice received from
Attorney James Nlcho', of Baker, to
refuse to resign and to refuse to rec
ognize martial law and to resist any
attempt to close the saloons. It was
decided that a showing of resistance
should be made, but that there should
be no shooting, but none knew just
what turn the events would take.

the Philippines Indicating great unrest
among the natives, and confirming the
letter recently read in the House by
Representative Mann, of Illinois, to

Quezon Impatient for Result.
The situation in the Philippines, as
outlined in these letters, seems to re
volve about Manuel Quezon, the Philip
pine delegate in Congress, and the man
who is credited with having brought
about the appointment of Francis Bur
ton Harrison as Governor of the islands.
Quezon, it appears, having landed liar
rison In the governorship, is follow
ing up his first victory by demanding
early Independence for the Philippine
Islands. Harrison appears to be in
favor of his programme, but the Wash
Ington Government has not been dis
posed to move as rapidly In that direc
tion as Quezon would like, the caution
of ex-President Taft having had
deterrent effect and having caused the
Administration to proceed slowly with
Its policy of ultimate Independence for
the Filipino people.
Quezon and his lieutenants. It ap
pears, utterly disapprove the Taft Idea,
and expect President Wilson to with
draw all American forces from the
Islands In the near future. They are
disappointed and surprised that abso

the Filipino people. It was Quezon's
understanding that the Democratic
party favored immediate Independence
for the Islands and he thought the
withdrawal of American troops would

Correspondents Follow.
PASS CHRISTIAN, Jan. 2. President
Wilson and John Llnd. his personal rep
resentative In Mexico, met In the cabin
of the scout cruiser Chester tonight in
a discussion of the Mexican situation.
It was their first meeting since last
July when the President conferred
with Mr. Llnd at the White House pre.
paratory to the latters departure for
Mexico with Instructions that created
a diplomatic episode in American hls-i
tory.
For two days a mysterious reticence
has been apparent at the Presidential
cottage concerning the present con-:
ference. When dispatches from Vera.
Cruz announced that Mr. Lind would,
come to Pass Christian there was a.
noticeable manifestation of displeasure
among the members of the President's
party that his destination had been
made public President Wilson had
hoped to slip quietly away aboard the
revenue cutter Winona, "for a yachting
trip" and meet Mr. Lind at sea.
Wlreleas Betrays Secret.
The same effort at secrecy with re
spect to the Chester's whereabouts was
frustrated by wireless news of her lo
cation near Ship Island last night. For
nearly 24 hours Mr. Llnd was off shore
on the cruiser Chester before meeting
tho President, and Instead of permit
ting his envoy to come ashore, Presi
dent Wilson took a trip in a 20-foot
launch, mounted a companlonway to
the revenue cutter Winona and was
transmitted again in mid-gulf to the
Chester.
The conference lasted until after S
o'clock tonight, when the President re
turned to Gulfport. where an automobile
was ready to take him to Pass Chris
tian. As much Becrecy as characterized
the President's first meeting with Mr
Llnd was evident on this occasion.
All Information Ref lined.
Information as to what the Presi
dent intended to do was denied the
newspaper correspondents. A big squad
of them, however, was on hand at
the oyster dock at 3 o'clock, when
President Wilson, accompanied by Dr.
Cary T. Grayson and two secret servica
men, appeared. The revenue cutter
Winona came as close to the shore as
possible and sent a launch for the
President. The Nation's chief execu-J
tlve got Into the bobbing craft and in
15 minutes the President's flag was
hoisted on the mainmast of the cutter,
which turned her prow seaward, fol
lowed by a tug chartered by the news
paper correspondents.
It was nearly three hours before thai
Chester was reported. A brigRt moon
was shining when the dead lights oC
the Chester were sighted. As the rev
enue cutter drew near, marines and
ships' officers stood at attention, but no
President's salute was fired., as It waa
after sundown. When the President
came over the side the Presidential flag;
was unfurled from the Chester's main
mast. Conference Lasts Tiro Honrs.
Mr. Lind was the first to grasp the
President's hand. The two immediately1
retired to the cabin. They had been In
conference about an hour when the red
and blue lights In the forerlgging of the
Chester began to flash naval messages
to the revenue cutter. The conference)
continued another hour and then the
President was transferred to the Wi
nona, which carried him back to Gulf
port. President Wilson arrived at Gulfport
dock after midnight and motored to
his cottage here, where he arrived at
1 o'clock.
The President sent word that he
would have nothing to say this morn
ing, but agreed to meet the corre
spondents later In the day.
It was learned that the Chester
would start for Vera Cruz this after
noon as soon as Norman Llnd and
John Llnd, Jr., could go aboard for a
short visit with their father.
VISCOUNT SNATCHES PURSE
Scion of Old French Family, Starv-
Ins, Asks to Be Sent to Jail. i
PARIS, Jan. 2. Viscount Charles
Enguerrand de Marigny, scion of an
old French family, penniless and starv
ing, today snatched a pocketbook from
a woman In the street here. He told,
the police he wished to be sent to
prison, where he could obtain food and
Bhelter from the bitter cold. The
viscount's father once was wealthy, but
lost everything In a bank failure.
Viscount de Marigny served with the
French cavalry forces In the Morocco
campaign and was awarded a medal
Recently he was discharged from the
army, his term of service having ex
pired. He spent his savings, he said,
vainly seeking employment.
The police complied with the request
of De Marigny and sent him to Jail.
