HUERTA GENERAL WARNED
Representative of President Wilson
Strengthens Guard at Consulate
and Has Kscort of Blue
jackets When In Street.
VERA CRUZ, Mex., Feb. 12. An at
tempt was made late last night to kill
Lieutenant Arthur B. Cook, flag Lieu
tenant to Rear-Admiral Mayo, of the
United States battleship Connecticut.
Lieutenant Cook, although struck by
a bullet, was only slightly hurt. His
assailant was not seen.
The Lieutenant, accompanied by his
wife and Miss Ethel McKenzie, of
I'hiladelphla, had been dining with
Admiral Mayo aboard the flagship.
The party took a carriage- to drive to
the steamer Morro Castle, on which
lrs. Cook and Miss McKenzie were to
nail today. Lieutenant Cook, conspicu
ous n full dress white uniform, with
gold epaulets and heavy gold cords.
Bat with his back to the driver. Shortly
efter 10 o'clock the party was proceed
ing down the Avenida do la Independ
enela, when in passing a side street
a. sharp detonation was heard and Lieu
tenant Cook felt a sharp shock on the
left hip.
Bullet Found on Scat.
On alighting at the wharf. Lieuten
ant Cook found a small object on the
carriage seat which proved to be a
steel-jacketed .25-caltber bullet of the
type used in pocket automatic pistols.
Investigation showed that the bullet
had inflicted a bruise on his hip.
The bullet lost its velocitty by passim?-
through the woodwork of the car
riage, "Whoever fired the shot must
have fled immediately apparently
without having attracted attention.
John Lind. President Wilson's repre
sentative, who notified General Maas,
military commandant at Vera Cruz, that
the General will be held personally to
the strictest accountability for failure
to prevent such attacks.
It is not believed the attack was the
result of a deliberate plot, but the sud
den act of some desperado or crank.
TJnd IN'oiv (Guarded.
Recently quiet arrangements were
made to secure the personal safety of
Mr. Lind. Until a few days ago he
was in the habit of taking long walks
alone into the outlying country. At
Ihe consulate no guard was maintained,
but signal boys were brought from
the fleet to act as messengers and com
municate with the ship by wigwags and
night signals. These boys were replaced
by eight stalwart picked bluejacketB,
four of whom are on duty day and
night. They have orders to scrutinize
all persons entering the consulate to
permit no one to approach Mr. Llnd's
room uninvited and to admit no one
after dark without proper identifica
tion. Mr. Lind whenever he leaves the con
sulate now is followed by a bluejacket,
who, although unarmed, la within
striking distance. Mr. Lind was op
posed to these precautionary measures,
but was persuaded that conditions de
manded them.
asking Jonathan Bourne. Jr., to bo
come a candidate for the Republican
nomination for United States Senator.
Lockwood's activity is regarded as a
probable forerunner of the announce
ment by Mr. Bourne of his candidacy.
Prior to his candidacy at the last
election Mr. Bourne announced him
self after petitions asking him to run
had been circulated in Portland and
other parts of the state.
Lockwood is now seeking signatures
to two forms of petition, both having
the same purpose: a request that Mr.
Bourne hark to the call of the people
and run. One of them purports to be
for the signatures of Republicans as
individuals; the other is made 'out as
a petition from the "Republican" Club.
A number of prominent Republicans
have been approached by Mr. Lock
wood and asked to sign up.
If there is anyone who does not know
of Lockwood, it may be said that he
is the founder, the active perpetuator
and the official collector of dues for
"The Republican Club." For years the
"Republican" Club and Lojckwood have
sprung into activity along about elec
tion time. After one election the club
hibernates until the next one.
STREET OPEflG URGED
FOCR CITY OFFICIALS ATTEND
EAST BURN SIDE LUNCHEON.
Property Owners Are Advised to Push
Blatter and Vote Is Taken to Use
Efforts to Hasten Work.
Commissioners Dleck and Bigelow,
City Engineer Dater and City Attorney
La Roche were guests of the East
Burnside Street District Association
yesterday at the "Seeing East Burn
side Street" luncheon and trip. J. J.
Oeder, who presided, said at the lunch
eon that the object was to get defi
nite action started to open East Burn-
side street from East Forty-third to
East Fifty-third, a project that had
been advocated for three years. Com
missioner Dleck explained methods of
opening streets under the present
charter, and pointed out some of the
difficulties to be overcome. He said
that the best way to open a street was
to procure common consent of the
property owners affected before actual
proceedings were started. Mr. Dieck re
ferred to several instances where this
course had been taken, with the re
sult that the street was opened with
out friction or delay.
Owing to the magnitude of the pro
posed opening, Mr. Dieck said he could
not say whether such a course could
be taken, but if it can be done it would
be best. It would mean that before
official action were taken the prop
erty owners would be informed in ad
vance of the assessments. Commis
sioner Dieck explained that Burnside
and East Burnside streets had been
studied for some time with a view to
making a wide street, and he said he
considered It one of the prospective
highways of Portland.
City Attorney La Roche explained
the legal steps necessary for street
extensions. City Engineer Dater prom
ised to give the opening of East Burn
side street careful consideration.
At the conclusion of the luncheon
the entire party was taken in automo
biles over East Burnside street, and
the closed portion was pointed out by
Chairman Oeder. The need of extend
ing East Burnside to a connection with
the Base Line road at North Mount
Tabor was demonstrated in the trip.
On the return trip, while the automo
biles were halted at the high point at
Mount Tabor, it was unanimously vot
ed that East Burnside street should be
opened and that every effort should be
made to have the improvement made
as soon as it can be done.
SUICIDE IS DENOUNCED
Kev. Mr. Marootto Discusses Three
KiinLs in Y. M. C. A. Talk. ,
Three kinds of self-destruction were
discussed by Rev. Henry Marcotte, pas
tor of "Westminster Presbyterian
Church, in his address on "Suicide"
yesterday at the Portland Young Men's
Christian Association.
"Sometimes the idea is expressed that
a person must be courageous to take
his own life," said Mr. Marcotte. "How
ever, I hold to the opinion that it is
a cowardly thing, a disgraceful way
of giving up life's battle. The man
with real courage will fight it out to
the end.
"But there are other kinds of sui
cide besides violent death. There is
mental suicide by the man who neg
lects to cultivate his mind, who reads
nothing but trash and carefully avoids
anything that will develop his mental
powers. Then there is spiritual sui
cide. The person who neglects his spir
itual welfare is starving and killing
his soul."
MAN PICKSWRONG JUDGE
Prisoner Wlio Says Dead Jurist Mar
ried Him CJets 100 Days.
A statement that he had been mar
ried five years ago by Judge Boone, of
New York, who has been dead for about
30 years, resulted in a sentence of 100
days on the rockpile for Thomas
O'Brien, who appeared in the Municipal
Court yesterday to answer to a charge
of carrying concealed weapons.
"Are you a married man?" demanded
Judge Stevenson.
"Yes, yer honor."
"How long have you been married?"
"O, I dunno, about four or five years,
I guess," answered the prisoner.
"Who married you?"
"Judge Boone, of New York."
"He's been dead for 10 years," said
Judge Stevenson.
"Well, judge, yer honor, yuh pee, I
forgot just who it was done It, but I
was married all right." Insisted O'Brien.
"Breaking rocks is good for the mem
ory," announced Judge Stevenson. "Try
It for 100 days and perhaps the mental
rest will do you good."
TOUR SANS FUNDS BEGUN
Mr. and Mrs. IjouIs Berger Reach

PATROLMAN IS ARRESTED
Chinese Charges Undue Force In
Raid on His Place.
Complaining that Patrolman J. M.
Wise and a squad of men resorted to
unwarranted force and the needless
destruction of property in conducting
a raid at 93 Fourth street on the
night of February 1, 1914, Jung Chung,
proprietor of the place, yesterday
caused the arrest of Patrolman Wise.
The complaint is based upon the ac
tion of the police when, in effecting
an entrance into the building, they
broke through a wall and not through
a door.
Attorney Pague has addressed com
munications to Mayor Albee and Chief
of Police Clark protesting against the
methods used by the police in conduct
ing raids, and also their alleged unfair
ness in arresting certain Chinese and
letting others go free.
Fourteen Killed Since Strike Began,
Says Witness, of Whom Only
Three Were Strikers Use
of Scrip Voluntary.
DENVER, Feb. 12. "I don't want
any relations with the United Mine
Workers of America . and I will not
have any."
"Frankly I have always been opposed
to the eight-hour day in coal mines."
"I never have, knowingly permitted
false weighing.
"We have done all we could to
comply with the state mining law."
"The operators bought arms and
ammunition for the use of the mine
guards."
Responsibility for Gnns Admitted.
"I want to take all the responsibil
ity that's coming to me for the pur
chase of machine guns."
"So far as the operators are con
cerned, the strike is over."
These were a few of the statements
made late today by John C. Osgood,
chairman of the board of directors of
the "Victor-American Fuel Company,
before the Congressional committee in
vestigating the Colorado coal miners'
strike. Mr. Osgood was put on the
Stand as a witness for the mine owners
to tell the story of the labor war from
the operators' viewpoint.
"It is my belief that the strike in
Southern Colorado is a direct out
growth of the Northern Colorado
trouble," he declared. "We have in
formation that the officers of the
United Mine Workers have at some
times considered calling the northern
strike off, as it is utterly lost. Later,
according to evidence furnished by their
own publication, they took up the
matter of calling out the southern
miners to aid the fight of -those in
the north.
Mine Workers Denounced.
"Last Summer Frank J. Hayes, in
ternational vice-president of the union,
visited Colorado. At that time I was
approached by Governor Ammons on
the subject of meeting the officers of
the Mine Workers in a conference. We
told the Governor that we did not
want to make a contract with the
United Mine Workers of America, and
we refused to meet Hayes. Some time
before we had granted the eight-hour
day, and had increased wages 10 per
cent.
"I had had bitjer experience with
the United Mine Workers in Iowa, and
I did not want to have anything more
to do with the organization; I did not
believe it a responsible body. In Iowa
a mine in which I was interested was
absolutely ruined before the company
signed a contract with the union. We
abondoned the mine, although it repre
sented an investment of $400,000.
"I do not question the right of work
men to organize and do business col
lectively, but I think a business man
has a right to do business with whom
he pleases."
Scrip Aot Compulsory.
Discussing the subject of check
weighmen, the witness declared his
company was willing to allow the min
ers to have their own men at the scales,
but that in most cases the men had
failed to avail themselves of the privi
lege. Osgood then touched on the sub
jects of company stores and the use
of scrip. He said the men were not
required to trade at company stores,
and that the use of scrip, under the
present system, was legal and not com
pulsory, the scrip being issued only at
the request of the men as a matter of
convenience.
Mr. Osgood directly contradicted the
testimony of witnesses who had told
the committee that 96 per cent of the
miners in the Southern fields obeyed
the strike order. He declared that not
more than 50 per cent of the workers
walked out.
"Now, I'd like to explain this 'notor
ious and criminal guard system.' " he
continued. "Before the strike was de
clared, we never had any guards ex-

BY LEON CASS BAER.
REVISION of opinion and a dimin
ishing of Ignorance In a nation's
religion have been working great
changes In the theaters of the -world.
New sentiment springs up and new
plays are made to fit it. And old
plays, when they are revived, must,
quite naturally, be made over to be in
harmony with the new sentiment.
Actors, are most affected by this
change of opinion In their interpreta
tion of famous old roles.
Consciences, newly awakened to the
worthiness of a. persecuted race of
people realise that It ts the Qontlle in
"The Merchant of Venioe" who is the
offender, and that Shylock was more
sinned mralnst than sinning. Modern
aotors, other than Mr, Bothern, have
held him up As a- vtetlm of religious
misunderstand ins.
Modern belief contends that Shake
spcaro's comedy Is merely a, remantlo
tale of love and adventure, with a high
minded, lovable heroine In Portia., a
fsrvent admirer in Antonio and his
unselfish friend, Bassanio, together
with their merry friends. Into this
happy story, only for the sake of hav
ing a villain, Shakespeare has put Shy
lock and made him a morose and re
lentless usurer, to be sneered at and
defeated; not because he is a Jew, but
because he is the villain and It Is in
herent instinct in humanity to prefer
.ue spenaunn to tne miser.
Modern opinion makes of hint n
tragic figure, not undeserving of pun
ishment perhaps, but one who does not
merit all the misfortunes that fall
upon him.
In striking contra-dlstlnntion than
to the imperious dignity and sympa-
tnetic interpretation of other presenta
tions, B. H. Sothern's delineation crives
us a cringing, servile figure, not a rep
resentative of the Jewish faith, but
Just a man named Shylock.
ine glory, the majesty of an ancient
people does not stand forth in him; he
is sordid and unlovely as Sothern por
trays him. He is a creature who com
mands pity and contempt; uncouth
witn an animal-like ferocity and
cowardly. He is un-Jewish, though a
Jew. He is merely an Individual. In no
way la he a representative of what
Jews, as a race, would do.
Sothern suggests that Shakespeare
has made a play of love and chance and
moneybags and into it has thrust an
usurer as the stage villain and called
him a Jew.
Irrespective of his religion he Is an
isolated figure, parsimonious, unsocia
ble and vengeful. His only nobility
lies in the patriotic fervor of his acting.
It is a matter of individual opinion
whether Sothern's SKylock Is offensive
to modern enlightenment on a tre
mendous subject. His production of
the romance development of the story
is riawiess.
The scenes are one srorsreous unfold
Ing after another, of beautiful pictures.
The eompany played' superbly. Elisa
beth Valentine made a pntrlolan Portia,
Helen Singer a delightful Verissa.
George W. Wilson gave a highly ar
tistic bit ot ooreedy in his Launeelot
Oabbo, with telllns pantemime, Bldney
Mather as Antonio and Frederick
Lewis as Bassanio rave excellent ao-
oounttflgs of their Important roles.

was called we realized that we would
have to protect our property and the
lives f our workmen. The maximum
number of guards employed at any time
by the Victor-American Company was
100 never more than 15 or .U to a
camp. We instructed these guards
never to leave company property ex
cept in case of necessity. If we could
have moved our mines five miles away
from the tent colonies we would have
done so.
"When the strike started violence
started with us. The day after the
men went out the Town Marshal at Se
gundo was killed. Shortly thereafter
the strikers took two women from a
stage and held them prisoners in a tent
colony until the Governor interfered
and secured their release. During this
strike 14 men have been killed three

EVERETT, Wash., Feb. 12. Six
hundred dollars' worth of plunder
tolen by Mike Donnelly, the negro
desperado who escaped from the Walla
Walla prison last Fall and was cap
tured here Tuesday night, was recov
ered by Sheriff Don McKee today when
Donnelly voluntarily led the Sheriff to
the place in which he had been hiding
since December 20. Donnelly's retreat
was a hollow tree in the shadow of the
state reformatory at Monroe. Here he
had accumulated a large quantity of
rifles and ammunition stolen from
hardware stores and other valuable
loot. Donnelly told the Sheriff he was
gathering the arms to Bupply a band of
desperadoes he had Intended to organize.

drunkenness. He became imbued with
the urgent necessity of Introducing
radical reforms In the financial ad
ministration of the state and economic
life of the country.
The Czar declared that it is Inadmis
sible to permit the favorable financial
position of the Empire to depend upon
the destruction of the moral and eco
nomic strength of a great multi
tude of Russian oitlzens. Therefore,
the financial policy of the government
should be conducted on lines so that
the revenues would be derived from
the products and inexhaustible wealth
of the country and the productive labor
of the people.
Legislators Back Reform.
The Emperor is more convinced of
the urgency of suoh reforms, as he
found a hearty echo in the legislative
chambers in the debates on the bill re
vising the regulations governing the
sale of spirits, and he trusts that tne
high confidence he places in the new
Minister will be justified In these re
forms.
It is believed that a few months
hence M. Krivoshein will assume the
Premiership. Meanwhile no changes
are expected In the internal and for
eign policies, jctumors were current
tonight of the possible resignation of
other Ministers, notably Serglus Sazon
off, who holds the portfolio of foreign
affairs. It is thought he is likely to
be succeeded by N. Schehbeko, the
Ambassador at Vienna.

BUSINESS MEN GATHER
WILLIAM D. WHEELWRIGHT MAKES
ADDRESS OX LINCOLN.
Programme at Multnomah Hotel In
cludes Dance "Made-ln-Oregon"
Committee for Year Appointed.
William D. Wheelwright gave an ad
dress on "Abraham Lincoln" at the
dinner of the Progressive Business
Men's Club at the Multnomah Hotel
last night. The blue room was well
filled with guests, as it was one of
the occasions when the members are
invited to bring their "wives, sweet
hearts or sisters." After the dinner
there was a dance in the assembly hall
of the hotel.
Mr. Wheelwright said that the name
of Lincoln would always be held in
deeper regard than any of the names
whose heritage it was to command the
respect of the American Nation. He
went into the conditions of 1860 and the
years immediately preceding and Lin
coln's attitude that the Nation could
not rise to the full measure of its
moral stature until it had cast off the
incubus of slavery.
As to Lincoln's humble birth, the
speaker Quoted Voltaire to the effect
that "he who serves his country well
has no need of ancestry." He spoke
of Lincoln's hearty mirth and ready
wit. He said that it was not as ora
tor, a statesman or a lawyer that his
name was passed down to posterity, but
as a great emancipator.
"He started low in the scale of hu
manity," said Mr. Wheelwright, "and
he lived upward all the time. He
taught us the sacredness of govern
ment, how to love the truth and yet
be charitable."
John Claire Monteith entertained the
diners with several vocal numbers.
President Kanzler announced as a
"made-in-Oregon" committee to serve
throughout the year, Chester J. Hogue,
W. M. Knight, Joseph G. Gillingham,
J. M. Wackrow and G. M. Leach. The
following committee to co-operate
with the Rose Festival Association also
was announced: A. E. Clark, A. L. Ste
phens, L. R. Bailey, Frank Barringer
and Charles R. Frazler.
