2 TTTE MORNING OREGONJAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 19 J 4. IDLE AT AIT POINT DRIVEN DF GUNS Richmond Is Unwilling Haven of 10GO Jobless Men After Exodus From Oakland. POLICE CHARGE ON CAMP Army or Unemployed in California Find Bars Raised by Several CitiesGovernor Promises to Protect AH Towns. SAX FRANCISCO, Ca!., March 6. (Special.) Forced from Oakland at the point if gun and club, the jobless army Is encamped on the border of Richmond, while Sheriff Veale, of Con tra Costa County, is trying to find means to pass the unwelcome guests over another county line. General" E. Kelly's regular army of 1000 men camped at San Pablo ave nue and McDonald avenue, within the corporate limits of Richmond, only three mile from the business center. The I. W. W. battalion, under Wil liam Thorn, staked its tents a. mile north of the Kelley camp ton the coun ty boulevard. Scouts of the Kelley army, hunting firewood, visited an unoccupied house, ' tore down an outbuilding and removed some of the boards about the base of the large building, which they packed away for their campfires. Sergeant Ruiz, the first Richmond police officer on the scene, ordered the men away from the house after con siderable damage had been done. Deputies Take C horee. Chief Arnold, of Richmond, arrived with a score of deputies at I o'clock and assumed command of the situa tion. "General" Kelley refused to move off the lot in Emeryville, occupied last night by the army, when the police led by Chief Petersen charged the through the camp. Several hours after the ex odus he departmen for the new camp aboard a wagonload of provision. Two hundred policemen and Deputy Sheriffs appeared, and General KelJey yielded when the posses waded through the camp. "We don't want to fight." yelled the men as they broke ground. "We won't budge until we get trans portation to Sacramento," declared Kel ley from his soapbox in Emeryville when the police appeared. Then Chief Petersen broke into the proceedings with his ultimatum and Kelley backed down. In the commissary of the unemployed are ration sufficient for three meals. The City of Oakland paid for the street railway transportation to Richmond. Sacramento iVot Receptive. Already Sacramento has thrown out the unwelcome sign and decided the army could not enter the city. Oakland had planned to provide transportation for the army to Sacra mento, but the capital city authorities frowned upon the thought. "I fail to see why Sacramento should be the dumping ground for the unem ployed of the bay cities, even if the army only stayed here a few days," de clared Sheriff Ahearn. Anticipating the necessity of state assistance before the unemployed are away from California, Governor John son was sounded on the situation. "VVbile the matter of handling the unemployed is not a state affair." he said, "I will guarantee protection to any community bothered when pro tection is asked for through the proper cnanneis. Tonight it is said the authorities of Richmond have arranged for trains to carry the unemployed across Carqulnez straits and into Solano County. TEST OF PRESIDENT "WILSON'S MESSAGE URGING REPEAL OF CANAL TOLLS EXEMPTION LAWS Qentlemen of the Congress: I have come to you on an errand which can be vary briefly performed, but I be that you will not measure its importance by the number of sentences In which I state it. No communication I have addressed to the Congress carried with it graver or more far-reaching implications to the interest of the country and I come now to apeak on a matter with regard to wllch I am charged in a peculiar degree, by the Constitution itself, with personal responsibility. ' "JUSTICE, WISDOM, POLICY IRGED. ' . I have come to ask for the repeal of that provision of the Panama Canal act of August 24, 1912, which exempts vessels engaged in the coastwise trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge on you the Justice, the wisdom and the large policy of such a re peal, with the utmost earnestness of which I am capable. In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption constitutes a mistaken economic policy from every point of view and is moreover in plain contravention of the treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal, concluded on November 18, 1901. But I have not come to you to urge my personal views. I have come to state to you a fact and a situation.. Whatever may be our own differences of opinion concerning this much-debated measure,' its meaning is not debated outside the United States. Everywhere else the language of the treaty Is given but one interpretation, and that interpretation precludes the exemption I am asking you to repeal. "LARGE THING TO DO IS ONLY THING.5' We consented to. the treaty; its language we accepted. If we did not originate It, and we are too big, too powerful, too self-respecting a Nation to interpret with too strained or refined a reading the words of our promises Just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. The large thing to do Is the only thing we can 'afford to do, a voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and misunderstood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong, and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the re demption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation. I ask this of yon ia support of the foreign policy of the Admin istration. I shall not know how to deal with other matters of fvtn greater delicacy and nearer consequence If yon do not grant It to mc In nnamdalna; measure.

Stronger foreign markets for Yakima fruit will be the subject of a conference of the North Yakima Commercial Club officials with J. H. Shrivo.r. of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, who is to be here next week, en route from Washington to Seattle. tonight he was assured President Wil son's reference to "other matters" meant all foreign matters confronting the Government. "The Administration has inherited many foreign problems," he said, "and it is necessary that our foreign rela tions be readjusted. That is what I think the President had in mind." When the House committee on in terstate commerce meets tomorrow, it is expected to report favorably the Sims bill to repeal the exemption clause. On the Senate side a bill for' that pur pose was 'introduced last year by Sena tor Root, of. New rork. Senator Chilton, discussing his amendment to accomplish indirectly the repeal", said that it was his own idea of a way out of the difficulty that might meet the views of some who did not favor direct repeal by Congress. The President had not been consulted with relation to it. he said. Some Sena tors were inclined to the belief that the Chilton amendment would leave Congress oDen to the charge that it had attempted to dodge an issue flatly placed before it by the President Senator Root asserted that the result would be the same as a flat repeal and that Congress might better act by direct repeal. Opposing; Leaders Silent. Some of the leaders In Congress, in cluding Majority Leader Underwood, of the House, who opposed the repeal, had no comment to make. Many Senators and Representatives praised the message. Others indicated that they would support the repeal, al though they did not agree with the President's proposition. "I voted for tolls exemption," said Senator Kern, Democratic leader In the Senate. "If I vote for the repeal, it will not be because I have changed my views. I don't believe that toll exemption violates the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. If I support the President's request I shall do so because of his desire for Congress to support his foreign "policy and for the further reason that in questions of this kind, where there is any doubt as to inter pretation of treaties, the foreigner should have the benefit of the doubt." Representative Evans, of Montana, a Democratic member of the committee, telegraphed his vote to be recorded In favor of the repeal at the committee meeting tomorrow. House Will Sustain President. Representative Palmer, of Pennsyl vania, announced that a poll of the House conclusively demonstrated that there are more than enough votes in the House to sustain the President's appeal. Representative Knowland, of Cali fornia, Republican, issued a statement declaring that "because of the failure of a foreign policy and to please na tions that are our commercial rivals, the Government's policy must be re versed. Congress turn a somersault and this country humiliated in the eyes of the world." He added that in a speech in the pre election campaign the President had said, referring to the Baltimore free tolls plank, "our platform is not mo lasses to catch flies; it means busi ness; men who talk one way and vote another will be retired from public life." and because I love Gus Williams. He treated me with crushing brutality. He has also treated me with the ut most kindness. Both are- possible to him. "Tou will hear him described as worthless, a liar, a rake. He is weak in many ways, which showed in bis allowing his mother to revile and abuse me. On Monday, February 11, I en dured in his presence, without defense or protection from him, in spite of his solemn promise, the cruelest and fiercest ill-treatment I have ever suf fered. He knows nothing but horses. His whole life has been spent with them, as jockey, trainer and breeder. Affinity Coarse and Brutal. , "Tou would consider him coarse and Illiterate. He Is that. He cannot write intelligibly. "I have suffered at his hands, but I shall say no further 11 of him. The cruelty he has inflicted was mostly un conscious and he has nursed me like a mother many a night, tears rolling down his cheeks because of my pain."

Wash ington, March 5. 3ver since he dom inated the Republican National com mittee at its December meeting. Sen ator Borah has been appealed to by Republican Ieadersall over the country to aid in reorganising the Republican party along progressive lines. He re ceived telegrams today inviting him to visit Washington and California to help in this work. Senator Borah promised' to lend assistance after Congress adjourned. The Senator was pleased by a tele gram received today from Spokane, signed by O. G. Moore, law partner of Senator Polndexter, heretofore one of the Bull Moose leaders of that state, and by Charles P. Lund, a Republican. Thfs telegram read: "Many prominent Progressives have publicly declared in favor of a re turn to the Republican party, and there is a strong undercurrent among the rank and file in that direction. Both Republicans and Progressives be lieve you can crystallize this sentiment and accomplish a union. Can you ar range to deliver an address here and at other points in the state in the near future?" In reply. Senator Borah telegraphed": "Important legislation, both general and particular, pertaining to the West seems to make it impossible for me to get away before adjournment. If I can be of service then, I will come. Let us get together. We have it in our power since the change in the rules of the National committee to make our party all that millions of Repub licans of this country would want it to be. We owe it to the farmers of the great Northwest, who have been stripped of all protection and placed in competition with the world, and we owe it to the cause of progressive leg islation throughout the country to unite and to make our party a mili tant and progressivOJorce for good government." The Young Republican Club, of San Diego, urged Senator Borah to address 2000 delegates April 11. That telegram said: "Your presence will be an in dorsement of the 'get-together' move ment and will Nationalize it." Rebel Leader Threatens Kxecutlon of Luls Terrazas Unless Money Is Paid, but Will Not Agree to Release on Payment EL PASO, Tex., March 6. General Luis Terra&as today appealed to Marion Letcher, American Consul at Chihua hua, now in this city awaiting instruc tions, to save his son, Louis, whose life has been declared the forfeit if 500,000 pesos ransom money Is not paid over to General Francisco Villa, -the rebel leader. Consul Letcher declared himself deep ly moved by the appeal of the octo genarian head of 'the great Mexican family, whose wide possessions have been confiscated by the constitutional ists, but he had. to reply that be was helpless in the matter. "I am 80 years old and neither life nor money means much to me," said General Terrazas, with a tremor In his voice. "My son, Luis, has 13 children and they need him. I would gladly return to Chihuahua and Villa could kill me instead of my son." Father Without Ransom Money. While General Terrazas did not say as much, the interview left the infer ence that he is not now in possession of the sum demanded. Luis, the son. Is about 60 years of age and for several months has been held prisoner by the rebels. At the time of his arrest the rebels demanded $650,000 gold as the price of his life. This sum was slow in being paid and .Luis was taken out and noose adjusted about his neck. Then he was gently hoisted from his feet- The torture was repeated until he sis naled that he would pay the sum de i manded all he had in the Chihuahua panic After this incident he was removed from the palace where he had been confined and allowed to live under guard with his family in one of his father's houses. Women Plead in Vain. Women relatives later appealed to Villa to release him, but Villa was adamant. "If the Cientiflcos had Pancho Villa a prisoner in the same circumstances do you think he would be restrained In a palace and treated with the consul eration I have shown Don Luis?" Villa replied. "No! Pancho Villa's head would have been placed on a pike and paraded about the city. The Terrazas family has accumulated its great wealth through oppression of the people and now the people demand reparation." General Terrazas left Consul Letch er's room and appeared in the hotel lobby visibly shaken. His beard is white and his figure below the medium. He walks with a cane, but erectly. He was surrounded by friends and relatives, . on whose faces anxiety for the son and particularly for the father were plainly written. Appeal to Bryan Snareested. A personal appeal to Secretary Bryan was suggested, but the old man only shook his head. The appeal, however, may be made unless it is possible to raise the ransom money. The great bulk of the Terrazas fortune, normally esti mated at $40,000,000 gold, was ted up by the confiscation order and most of the money in foreign countries has been spent in the last three years. It was said tonight that the most serious obstacle in the way of a set tlement of the matter is Villa's refusal to allow Don Luis to leave Mexico af ter the money is paid. Ransom Not to Brlnic Release. General Terrazas, In replying to Vil la, made payment of the money contin gent on his son's being brought to the center of the international bridge here while the sum was changing hands. This Villa flatly declined to do. Gen eral Terrazas regards any other ar rangement as Xolly, as his son doubt less, he thinks, would be used merely as a means of further extortion. Villa's messenger to General Terra zas said that the money must be paid within five days or Don Luis would be killed. The five days expire tomorrow, but it is hoped Villa's desires for the money, despite his enmity toward the Terrazas family, will persuade h'm to delay extreme measures pending fur ther negotiations, which were suggest ed to him in telegrams today.

ON Alaska Claimants Have Disclosed Vein, but Cannot Begin Producing I n 111 Ownership Is Perfected. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 5. There Is a possibility that the Interior Department will issue patents for several coal entries In Alaska, particularly to claims in the Chezum group which lie just north of the famous Cunningham claims. No question of fraud affects the claims of this group and the patents depend altogether on the way in which Sec retary Lane interprets the legal defini tion of a mine. The records of the Interior Depart ment show that on the claims of the Chezum group openings have been made exposing merchantable coal in the ground. A. C.

To no purchase that you make should more thought, more care and more consideration Be given than the buying of your piano, because under the beauties of the finely finished veneers of a piano lies a delicate mechanism, a constructive principle which, if properly and carefully made of good materials assembled by highly skilled workmen, will last and give satisfaction for an aver age lifetime.

That name is an unlimited guarantee as to price and quality an insurance policy, as it were, that the instrument bought will prove satisfactory in every sense; that in finish, durability and musical quality, it is the best possible at the price paid, and that that price is identical l' the same, save for the addition of Eastern freight, as the instrument would cost on the floors of its manufacturers in Chicago, New York or Boston.

It has been showt. to the department that the entrymen could not actually take the coal out of the ground before they received patent and therefore that no production was possible. The only danger which seems to threaten the Chezum claims is the possibility the department may decide to hold title to all Alaska coal lands In the Government, in order that the coal may be developed solely under a leasing system.

During the Winter months especial ly, when we live an Indoor life, the kidneys should receive some assistance when needed, as we take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby, forcing the kidneys to do more work than Nature Intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, may be weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kid neys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. Many physicians claim that an herbal medicine containing no minerals - or opiates has the most healing influence. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by parcels post.
