GERMAN SHIPS DUE
OFF VICTORIA TODAY
Cruisers' Coming Awaited by
ritish and Vessels Ready
to Put to Sea.
SUBMARINES SEEK FOES
Kaiser's Warships Expected Otf
Cape Flattery at Xoon and Forces
at Esquimau Lie Prepared
for Possible Attack.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Unless they have been delayed
by unforseen circumstances or have
been forced by the approach of hostile
war ships to change their course to
some other part of the Pacific Ocean,
the big German cruisers Scharnhorst
and Gneisenau will be due to arrive
off Cape Flattery any time after to
morrow noon, according to the calcula
tions of British naval officers.
Tonight the submarines and warships
using Esquimau as a base will get
ready for action.
Weather May Delay Raid.
Weather conditions or engine-room
trouble, however, may have delayed the
German warships, and In that event
they might not arrive off Cape Flat
tery for a "week or two. Any serious
delay would defeat Admiral Count Von
Bpee's plans which are said to involve
a raid on the British Columbia ports
before he Is forced to give battle to
the British and Japanese cruisers and
battleships now reported to be closing
in on him on the Pacific Coast.
Word that Esquimau. Victoria and
Vancouver all realize that the period
of freedom from attack ends tomor
row morning was received today in ad
vices from a high source on the other
Bide of the boundary line. No news is
obtainable, however, as to the exact
naval strength now using Esquimau as
a base.' The Seattle-built submarines
EquTt?e and Antbfagasta are ready to
slip out of the naval station at a
moment's notice.
Warships Reported Ready.
Efforts to figure out the naval
strength at Esquimau are unavailing
for. the reason that there has been a
redlsposition of the British warships In
the North Pacific. The Japanese
cruiser Idzumo Is believed to be near
Esquimau with her bunkers brim full
of coal.
- The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were
last seen November 4, when they
(teamed out of Valparaiso, ChiFe, and
headed in a northerly direction. Since
then various reports have been re
ceived of unidintlfied warships steam
ing northbound off the west coast, but
in no case has it been definitely estab
lished that they belonged to the Ger
man fleet.
The distance between Valparaiso and
Cape Flattery is slightly less than 6000
miles. According to the information
received in British Columbia, Admiral
. Von Spee, with the powerful and
epeedy Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, has
cut loose from the three smaller vessels
of his fleet. Allowing the two cruisers
an average speed of 15 knots, they
would be due off Cape Flattery tomor
row unless forced to make detours to
avoid hostile warships. On this calcula
tion Esquimau has rushed to comple
tion Us preparations for attack.

announced the destruction of German
earthworks and supply trains in the
vicinity of Rheims.
The dispatch follows:
"From the sea to Hetsa there was
neither cannonading nor infantry fire
from the enemy the entire day. Our
artillery, on the other hand, succeeded
in dislodging German batteries in
stalled to the east of Nieuport. The
British army was subjected to scat
tered artillery fire for a time, but the
weather was exceedingly bad and it
snowed for hours.
"There was no important action be
tween Arras and Noyon. From Noyon
to Rheims there has been intermittent
artillery firing. Onr artillery has suc
ceeded in destroying two of the enemy's
earthworks and has bombarded their
supply trains.
"The bombardment of Rheims has
been less intense than on the last few
days. In the Argonne one of our
trenches which the Germans had suc
ceeded in capturing was immediately
retaken by our troops at the point of
the bayonet."

"In West Flanders and in Northern
France no appreciable change in the

"Heavy rains and snows which first
soaked and then "fcartly froze the
ground, have made our movement diffi
cult. A French attack at Combre, to
the southeast of Verdun, was repulsed."
Special dispatches from the front say
the French positions at Chauvoncourt
have been blown up by German mines
with heavy losses for the French, and
that the Germans then occupied these

DETECTIVE GOES UNPAID
CLACKAMA DENIES BILL TILL HILL
MURDER sTySTERY IS CLEARED.
L. L. Levings Ordered to Produce More
Evidence Leading to Indictment
Before Asking; Warrant.
OREGON CITY, Or.. Nov. 20. Spe
cial.) Whether Detective L. L. Lev
ings will be able to collect $2000 from
Clackamas County for professional
services in the Hill murder mystery
depends largely on whether he will be
able to show the County- Court that ho
has secured evidence which, in the
opinion of the souI"t. would lead to an
indictment.
The County Court in August made a
contract with Detective Levings upon
the recommendation of District Attor
ney Hedges, In which the county agreed
to pay the Bum of $2000 for -services
from the time of the murder up to No
vember 1. Levings secured the evi
dence used in the Justice Court, but it
failed to be sufficient for a bind-over.
It is understood that recent develop
ments are of a new and startling na
ture and that Information secured dur
ing the last three months may be a
radical departure from the trend of for-"
mer developments.
This evidence, and officials admit
that there Is much of it, probably will
be produced at a grand jury investiga
tion. District Attorney Hedges has
not said whether he will call a special
session of the body at an early date or
hold the ma-tter over until the Spring
session.
Detective Levings presented his bill
to the County Court at the regular
November term, but the court refused
to order it paid and it is" understood
that it will not be paid until the court
is convinced that a large volume of evi
dence has been secured. The bill is
now being held to the regular Decem
ber session of the court. ,
$2000 STALLION STOLEN
Theft of Garfield Grant from O.-W.
R. & X. Stable Car Is Mystery.
Garfield Grant, a standard bred regis
tered Kentucky stallion, was stolen
from his car in the O.-W. R. & N.
Railroad yards while waiting to go to
Eastern Oregon last night. Up to a
late hour no trace of the missing horse
had been found. '
The horse was the property of C. R.
Hibbard, who lives at the Hotel Ore
gon, and was valued at nearly $200 J.
He was 9 years old and had been
brought here recently from Oklahoma
Mr. Hibbard at once reported his loss
to the police, and the railroad officials
began an investigation also. The
theft of the animal is more mysterious
because he would be noticed immedi
ately on account of his size and beauty.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Firing through a window, an
unidentified assassin early tonight
killed Otto Ludke, a Ridgefield farmer,

in the shoulder and forehead by some
of the pellets, which Inflicted painful
but not serious wounds.

7:30 o'clock tonight. Authorities in
Vancouver were notified as soon as
they could be reached by telephone and

SCHOOL THIEVES HUNTED
WASHINGTON HIGH STUDENTS ON
TRAIL OP GUILTY.
Stadent Body Committee Asks Co-Operation
to Detect Those Who Have
Stolen Property.
Because of the thievery that has been
going on of late at the Washington
High School, the executive committee
of the Associated Student Body,
through the president, Raymond R.
Staub, yesterday issued a statement to
the students asking for their co-operation
in stamping out the evil. The
statement was signed by the seven
members of the committee and copies
were placed on the bulletin board of
the institution.
Each member of the faculty In charge
of a room held a meeting yesterday
morning with the students under their
charge. Raymond R. Staub, president
of the Associated Student Body, has
been active with the faculty in trying
to devise a plan by which definite
clews may be obtained.
A statement signed by Raymond R.
Staub, president; Catherine Alexander,
Barbara Nisley, Stanley Northrup,
George Miller, Frank Normandin and
Albert Combs and made public yester
day is as follows:
The executive committee of the student
body of Washington High School, in view
of certain serious and criminal acts of
vandalism committed against the members
of our school, desires to put itself on record
as deeply incensed at these acts and as
humiliated in having Washington's fair
name thus besmirched.
We deplore the fact that among our pupils
are- a few, possibly only one or two, who,
for the sake of some paltry gain, will stoop
to theft, thus wilfully bringing criminal
guilt upon themselves and with vandal hands
destroying., the reputation of our honored
institution. If it were certain the depre
dations had been committed entirely by
students, our humiliation would be even
greater than it Is, but circumstances make
It clear that some of them, at least, have
been dune by thieves from the outside.
However, some of the blame must rest
on certain Individuals in this school, and
it is our Intention' to use every hieans in
our power to seek out the guilty, to see that
they are adequately punished, and thereby
free the innocent from the odium whlcli
falls upon them so long as the guilty re
main unknown.
We hereby earnestly call upon all those
who are sincerely concerned in the honor
of Washington's colors to assist in every
way possible in tracing those who are
guilty of the past acts and in stamping out
the last spark of this insidious evil.
WINTER FUNDS NEEDED
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES - OPENS
CAMPAIGN FOR MONEY.
To Alleviate Suffering Among; Poor at
Borne, Drain on Resource Will
Be Tremendous.
Directors of the Associated Charities
launched this week a campaign to se
cure funds with which to carry on the
work of the organization through the
Winter, since the demands that are to
come upon it seem likely to be heavier
than In any preceding season in Port
land. Funds of the association at this time
are lower In comparison than they have
been in the past three years, while the
scope of the work has grown immeas
urably wider than it was three years
ago. The war in Europe, with its
pressing demands for relief funds,
which are being made by numerous or
ganizations, still further limits the re
sources upon which the Associated
Charities may draw for funds with
which to alleviate the suffering among
the , poor at home. The tremendous
drain upon the resources -of the asso
ciation are indicated in the circular
which the board of directors issued this
week in opening its campaign for
funds.
"The Associated Charities last Fall
prepared to face what it supposed
would be an ordinary Winter's distress,
but to cap the climax there developed
such a serious unemployment situation
as to compel it to minister to the over
whelming number of 4000 individuals in
the 10 months ending September 30, or
nearly 1000 more than for the same
period last year.
"This used every cent the society was
able to. collect and has forced it to
borrow $2000."
The Associated Charities has contin
ued working to the best of its ability
under the handicap it faced, for in spite
of the pressure upon It on the one hand
for lack of funds, the pressure from the
other hand, in the long lines -of desti
tute and suffering people who applied
daily for relief, did not abate nor di
minish for & moment.
The opening of the campaign thus
far has been under good auspices ap
parently, for donations have come in
strongly In answer to the appeal. The
association has sent out more than 1500
personal letters to persons in the city
who have assisted In charitable work
before and funds are coming in en
couragingly already.
The opening of the Winter indicates
already, however, that the demands of
the poor will be heavier and more
numerous this year than ever before
and so the directors of the Associated
Charities are making this earnest ef
fort in order that the departments of
relief and charity that have been de
veloped through the years to a degree
of efficiency that has made Portland's
Associated Charities a model to those of
other and much larger cities, under
the management of V. R. Manning, the
secretary, may be maintained and the
poor of the city still may be sure of a
place to which thev can turn in their
extremity and be certain of relief and
encouragement.
HOUR LAW IS OPPOSED
FEDERATION OF LABOR AGAINST
LIMIT OF LEGISLATION.
Gompert) TJrgrea Recosntlalms; Principle
of Regulation try Statute .Wo old Open
Way to Unfavorable Action.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. Delegates
from tfie Pacific Coast were defeated
in their efforts to have the American
Federation of Labor go on record as
favoring legislation to reduce the hours
of employment at tonight's session of
the convention, when the following
resolution was adopted by a vote of
11,237 to 8107:
"Resolved, That the American Fed
eration of Labor, as in the past, de
clares that the regulation of wages and
hours of labor should be undertaken
through trades union activity, and not
by legislation, except insofar as the
employment of women and children,
health and morals, and the employes of
the National, state and municipal gov
ernments are affected."
Gompers Opposes Legislation.
The resolution was offered to the con
vention by the resolutions committee
as a substitute for two other rsolutions
commending eight-hour legislation.
Andrew Brown, of San Francisco, led
the fight in opposition to the commit
tee's resolution, while President Gom
pers, who had appeared before the" com
mittee in opposition to an indorsement
of eight-hour legislation, took the floor
in its defense. Mr. Gompers urged that
an indorsement of legislation affneting
working hours or wages would lay the
way open for the passing of laws detri
mental to labor, as well as favorable
legislation. Vice-President Duncan also
spoke strongly against efforts to se
cure shorter hours by means of legis
lation instead of through economic or
ganization. Socialists Take Issue.
The Socialist element in the conven
tion was active in opposition to the
position taken by President Gompers.
John Mitchell, ex-president of the
United Mine Workers, also opposed the
resolution, declaring that he feared it
would be misinterpreted and be used
as an excuse for repealing eight-hour
legislation already won.
Before the final adoption of the com
mittee's report, A. H. Gallagher, of San
Francisco, introduced a substitute.
which declared "that the American Fed
eration of Labor approves the efforts
of the workers of the Western states
to secure legal enactment of the eight
hour law and trusts that their efforts
will have an encouraging effect on the
workers of other states to secure sim
ilar legislation."
This motion was defeated by a vote
of 64 to 116.
J. A. Taylor charged that the eight
hour day law had been defeated In the
State of Washington because of the
circulation of a statement by President
Gompers.
MUSIC TO BE NONUNION
OYVIXJ TO BOYCOTT, ORCHESTRA
BEING TRAINED FOR ORPHEL'M.
Portland Union Ordered, by National
Body to Refuse Place Because
of Ban on Building.
When the Orpheum Theater opens
in its new home at Stark street and
Broadway tomorrow night music will
be provided by a nonunion orchestra
that is being drilled in the circuit airs.
Because the Central Labor Council
boycotted the building nn account of
employment of nonunion labor dur
ing construction, union musicians re
fused to contract for work at the Or
pheum. The management- consequently
is rehearsing nonunion musicians to
protect Itself.
"We have received instructions from
Frank Carothers. National president of
the' Musicians' Union, ordering us to
stand back of our obligations to or
ganized labor in this instance," said
George E. Jeffery. president Of the
Portland Musicians' Union, last night.
"A district officer of the union had In
tended coming to Portland today to
investigate the situation, but his trip
has been cancelled."
The theater building was erected by
the Hurley-Mason Company under a
contract with the owner, John W. Blod
gett. John W. Consldine leased the
building after it was well under way
and without the knowledge, it is said,
that a boycott had been declared on
the building.

SUICIDE INQUIRY ON
Death of Mrs. Hannah Ronning
- Under Investigation.
C. P. KIRKLAND ARRESTED
Bruises IVund on Woman's Body
Cause Detention of Man With Her
at Time, but His Story Clears
Scatters, Officers Say.
Pending an inquiry into- the death of
Mrs. Hannah Ronning from carbolic
acid poisoning Thursday night. C. P.
Kirkland. proprietor of an apron fac
tory at 15 East Twenty-eighth street,
is being held in the City Jail. He was
taken Into custody last night by Dep
uty District Attorney Deich, who had
made a personal investigation of Mrs.
Ronning's suicide.
After an interview with Kirkland,
Mr. Deich said that, although the man
was in the room with Mrs. Ronning
when she drank the acid, he did not
believe Kirkland was in any way re
sponsible for ber death.
Bruises Caue Investigation.
The investigation, says Mr. Deicb,
was prompted by the presence of
bruises on the arms and face of Mrs.
Ronning, and scratches and bruises on
ICirkland's face. Neighbors of Mrs.
Ronning, who lived at 411 East Mill
street, told of hearing the- couple quar
relling on several occasions, and some
are said to have declared Kirkland had
threatened her life.
Kirkland told a straightforward
story to the officers after his arrest.
He had known Mrs. Ronning for two
years, he said, and frequently visited
her. They became Involved in some
business deals, in which both lost
money. Kirkland declared that loan
sharks were responsible for their finan
cial troubles, which Mrs. Ronning gave
in three letters as the reason for her
suicide.
The two quarreled sometimes, Kirk
land admitted, and it was on these oc
casions that Mrs. Ronning threatened
to take her own .ffte. She already had
written letters telling of her intention
to commit suicide when he came to
see her Thursday night.
Decision Sudden, He Say.
He was in the room with her when
she drank the acid, he says, but she
did it so quickly that he was nuable to
prevent her. He immediately sum
moned the landlady of the rooming
house and then called Dr. George If.
Buck, who arrived shortly before the
woman died.
Mrs. Ronning was about 45 years old,
and had no relatives in Portland.
Neighbors say she bore a good reputa
tion. She was employed in Oregon City
up to the time of her death, but lived
In the house at 411 Mill street.
Kirkland explained the scratches on
his face by saying he had been intoxi
cated and had fallen on the street.
The officials said Kirkland probably
would be released today when the in
vestigations are completed.
