TTTE MCVRNTNO OREGONTAJT, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1914. STRIKERS 111 ARMS DECLARED REBELS Colorado Militia Officer Out lines Plan of Trying Ameri cans for Treason. LUDLOW FIGHT DESCRIBED Xcgality or Martial J,aw In Mining District Questioned and Gover nor Amnions' Answer Was Xot Enlightening. . DENVER, Dec. 11. The story of the battle of Ludlow was twice related be fore the Federal commission on Indus trial relations today and the Judicial situation in Southern Colorado was dis cussed. II. C. Farber, station agent at the Colorado & Southern Railroad Ludlow station, declared that the battle start ed immediately after two signal bombs were exploded- on Water Tank Hill by the militia. He said he expected the militia to burn the strikers' colony when It arrived. Lieutenant K. E. Llnderfelt said the bombs were exploded after his detach ment was attacked by strikers en trenched in a railroad cut about 600 ' yards distant. The bombs were a signal for help. Lieutenant Charges Treason. Had he been in full charge. Lieu tenant Llnderfelt said he would have tried the Americans found under arms in the colony by court-martial and sent them to the penitentiary for trea son, and deported the aliens to their native countries, under the alien laws of 1804-5, he said. "Not because they were members of the United Mine Workers of America, but because they took up arms in de fiance oC the constituted law of the Htate," he said. "A man who 'does that is no longer a striker he is a rebel. Of course, 1 have feelings against these men. There is no place in this state for armed men, whether mine guards or strikers." J. J. Hendrlck, District Attorney for the Third Judicial District, which in cludes Huerfano and Las Animas coun ties, the center of the strike zone, said he had been unable to learn from Gov ernor Amrnona whether martial law had been declared. Legality of Martial Law Doubted. The Governor, he said, after repeated inquiries by telegraph, told him to "see Chase," meaning Adjutant-General John Chase. Hendrlck said the legality of the martial law asserted by General Chase had always been questioned. The County Commissioners selected the names to go into the jury box, Hendrlck testified. When these were exhausted the Sheriff selected a special venire. Practically all Jurors were non-Knglish-speaking, and the witnesses did not remember an instance In which the predecessor to the present District Judge in three years allowed a damage case to go to the jury. Proceedings in civil cases, because of non-English-speaking jurors, were con ducted through an interpreter selected by the court, Mr. Hendrick said, as in criminal cases. In the latter cases the accused man had no voice in the selec tion of the interpreter. SMALL CHIP'S DAY ENDING rOontinued From First Page.) this, in general, but said there were oc casions and emergencies when battle Ships and not gunboats were essential. "What was the military necessity 7 Representative Roberts asked, refer ring to the Vera Cruz occupation, "of keeping 18 battleships off Vera Cruz and Tampico when Vera Cruz was held by the American Army and marines?" "There were not 18 all the time," the Secretary replied. "The number was gradually reduced from 18 to four. II we had had to blockade all the Mexi can ports," he explained, "all the bat tleships would have been needed. If we had gone to Mexico City we would have had to take half the Navy with us." Factnc Coast Without Dreadnought. Mr. Daniels explained to the com mittee that there were no dreadnoughts on the Pacific Coast, and the only bat tleship there was the Oregon, which was about to be transferred to the ac tive list again. He said the active naval strength on the Pacific now In cluded nine cruisers, two gunboats, one transport, 'five torpedo-boat destroyers, three submarines and one tender, while the reserve fleet comprised five armored cruisers and 24 torpedo-boat destroyers and two submarines. "Do you think these vessels are ade quate or sufficient protection to the Pacific Coast for war?" Representative Stephens, of California asked. Present Defense Inadequate "No. We have not got a great fleet there, we have no dreadnought there. 1 would not want a fleet without a dreadnought, a strong fleet. If we were to have trouble with any nation wo would send a fleet through the Panama Canal." "You do not think trouble could arise and very material damage be done be fore any fleet could arrive on the Pa cific Coast?" "I think the odds are the other way. One of the reasons, perhaps the chief reason, why we built the Panama Cunal was to make it possible to have a fleet to defend both coasts." "Have we a fleet sufficient to defend both coasts?" "Yes. sir; altogether sufficient to de fend both coasts." "But it cannot defend both coasts?" Simultaneous Attacks Probable. "Not at the same time. If we are going to have war we can get a fleet to the Pacific Coast. The day when the Pacific has a small fleet and with no chance of the fleet's being on that coast will end next March. We shall keep the fleet where it seems best to keep it for the protection of the coun try. As a matter of fact there is hardly a possibility cf our being attacked on both sides at once. "1 think that with the opening of the canal, enabling us to get ships through to the Pacific very quickly, the people of the Pacific Coast will feel that they are taken care of as much as the people on the Atlantic I would not want one or more ' dreadnoughts on the Pacific Coast I would rather have a division with the opening of the canal." Training Aboard Ship Advocated. Secretary Daniels expressed the be lief that "the strongest thing in the Navy is the practical instruction and technical training aboard ship," adding that there was no reason why any man, after being in the Navy four years, should not be a competent engineer, machinist, electrician or otherwise! technically competent. He said that if there had ever been a time when there were more naval officers who wanted shore berths than sea service it was not true now. There was a discussion of compul sory education aboard ship. "You don't do any man an injury when you make him know how to read and spell and write?" Chairman Pad gett asked. "No, sir." "If Congress should pass a bill to provide a considerable increase in the number of submarines, you'd be glad of it. wouldn't you?" Submarine Extravagance Opposed. "Yes. if it wouldn't Interfere with our programme. I would not advocate, however, an extravagant increase of submarines." Mr. Daniels advised against Immedi ate authorization of any sea-going type of submarine in addition to the two already provided for, explaining that experts were experimenting with the sea-going type and hoped tp demon strate .its practicability. When a statement before the com mittee by a. naval officer that the Navy Department had combed the country and found only one aircraft available in time of war was called to his atten tion, Mr. Daniels told of the recent organization of a volunteer aviation militia to be put at the service of the country. "We have tried to get a satisfactory type of aircraft and have failed," the Secretary said. Aircraft Development New. He added that the United States is only at the beginning of aircraft de velopment. Contracts for, aircraft had been made In Germany and France. He agreed that It looked as if the United States would have to organize a de partment of aviation "and build our own machines. Discussion of defects in submarines evoked comment on the apparent lack of unanimity in the view of the mem bers of the General Board of the Navy. Captain Wlnterhalter, a member of the Board, recently testified that he dis agreed with some of the technical statements in the report of the General Board, but that he had no recollection of any dissenting report from a mem ber. SECRETARY LANE F OREGON WILL HAVE NO NEW NON- CO-OPERATIVE: IRRIGATION. Sinnott Makes Unavailing Appeal, bnt Secures Admission of Justice ef Claims of State on Fund. OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 11. Representative Sln nott today called on Secretary Lane to urge him to use his endeavors to bring about an adjustment of the dif ferences that have arisen with regard to the co-operative irrigation project in Eastern Oregon, and received the same explanation as was made earlier this week to Senators Chamberlain and Lane. . Finding the Secretary unwill Ing to proceed with the co-operative project, unless the state furnishes $450,000 cash, Represenatlve Sinnott asked the Secretary if he would lay aside all consideration of co-operation and spend the $450,000 he has allotted in building some Independent project in eastern Oregon. Secretary Lane replied that he would not consider any new projects. That Congress, by its amendment to the reclamation extension act last session, had virtually served notice, that it would hereafter authorize1 any new projects to be undertaken, and Con gress having thus expressed its opinion he did not care to assume responsi bility for taking up any project that had not been approei prior to the enactment of that law. Mr. Sinnott undertook to convince the Secretary that he had authority, up to July 1. to make such aooortton- ments of the reclamation money as he deemed proper and impressed on him the fact that Oregon, in all reason ableness, is entitled to an allotment now of much more than $450,000. He aiso poinieu ou that Eastern Oregon has numerous feasible projects which could readily be undertaken by the uovernment. some of these projects have been surveyed, by Government en gineers. Secretary Lane, while admitting the justice of Oregon's claim to more rec ognition under the reclamation law. steadfastly refused to consider anv proposal looking to the adoption of a new uovernmem project, and gave Mr Sinnott to understand that the monev he has tentatively allotted will be available only for co-operative work, and then only after the state has put ... i Mti i amount oi casn.

ENGINEER BEATS HIGH LIVING COST Government Attorney Declares Millions Were Spent, but Enormous Sums Remain for Division. murt.L'i'.iji jua, ijcc ii. Amazing profits derived by the General Film Company were recited by Edward P. Grosvenor. Assistant Attorney-General, in his closing argument today in the Government's suit against the alleged moving-picture trust in the United States District Court here. He asserted that in the first 18 months of its existence the General Film Company expended more than ti.uuu.uuu tor independent exchanges more than $1,000,000 more to rnnnn. facturers, producers and exhibitors in the combine, and paid 7 Dr cent on it preferred stock and 12 per cent on the common to its shareholders. On an Investment of $10,000 each manufacturer made a profit of 1600 per cent in 1911, he said, while it cost Lewis ocnwao, an exebange dealer, $10 a minute for ten minutes for departing from a regulation in the license agree ment relating to a time for the release or iums. Counsel for the defendan tS Will fiUh mit briefs and Judge Dickinson will announce his decision later. PHILADELPHIA DARK AT 3 Xlglil Falls' on Quaker City at Phe nomally Early Hour. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11 Midnight darkness settled over Philadelphia this afternoon and from S o'clock on street lamps in all sections of the city were lighted, trolley cars and automobiles were obliged to use their headlights, while lights were necessary in all the stores and other business establish ments. The phenomenon, which was due to low-hanging clouds laden with moisture and the absence of wind, was unprecedented in Philadelphia. Shiites Chief Proclaims Holy "War.

Expenses Not Increased for Men Doing Own Cooking, but Home Feels Difference. HEAVY WORK DESCRIBED Witness Before Arbitrators Says Only Advances Have Been Due to Big Locomotives, and Com panies Win in End. CHICAGO, Dec 11. E. G. Jacobs, of Tucumcari, N. M., an engineer on the El Paso & Southwestern Railway, found a way to beat one angle of the high cost of living, he told the rail' road wage arbitration board today. Testimony had turned on the cost of living and its increase in the last four years. "Eating-house prices . are higher, Jacobs said, "but that doesn't bother me. I work down in the desert coun try and some years ago 12 of us engi neers who were away from home terminals a good deal built us some sleeping shacks. vv hen the res la u rants began boosting prices I simply put in a gasoline stove, some pots and pans, and started cooking for myself. It costs me practically nothing. Of course, in our home we notice that prices are higher. Witness Complains of Lodk Honrs. Four other engineers testified today. They were C. R. D. Jones. O. Kearns, C. E. Jackson and B. .J. Bassett. Each was questioned as to Increased cost of living. The railroads are not disputing that prices are higher, but assert that the wage advances asked by the men are out of proportion to the advance in food prices. The witnesses were all men with regular runs, which pay them from $155 to $200 a month as an average, and for this they testified that they worked long, hard hours. Jackson testified that he had worked on freight trains where he had been away from home for a week at a time and that for a day's run to average 15 hours was not uncommon. James H. Sheean. attorney for the railroads, adduced that witness was acquainted with an engineer, C A. Willet. on the same run. Sheean said that the rec ords of the Santa Fe road showed that In 1913 Willet earned $1900 on a freight engine and that his average daily hours for the year were slightly un der eight. Bis Ena-lnea Save in Wages. Bassett testified, like many of his predecessors on the 'stand, that ad vances in pay received in the last four years were due solely to the introduc tion of larger locomotives. He runs one of the largest ones in the country, a superheated Mikado, weighing 320,000 pounds. Such engines do twice the work of the smaller ones they re placed, they said, and the railroads thus .saved 50 per cent in wages of en gine crews, but the crews doing the increased work were not advanced proportionately. It was suggested that nevertheless men preferred the big engines because of the larger pay, but he cited two in stances where engineeers, entitled by seniority to such engines, chose in stead smaller engines and the smaller pay that goes with them. SOME HONORS RETAINED KAISER REMAINS OXFORD DOCTOR AND KNIGHT OF GARTER. Almanack de Gotna Also Credits Foei With Partial List of Titles Recog nized Prior to War. BERLIN, via The Hague and London, Dec. 11. The new edition of the Al manach de Gotha has appeared and presents numerous changes as a re sult of the war. Names In several places appear in small) type with the simple comment that the person has fallen in battle and the date and place are given. - . The most noticeable change is the fact that the sovereigns generally have divested themselves of the titles and decorations conferred by nations with which they are at war, but Em peror William is still carried as a doc tor of Oxford and a Knight of the Garter, while Prince Henry is given as a chief of the Russian Hussar reg iment and as a British Admiral. The Russian Czar is no longer titled as the chief of the Austrian regiments, but like King Albert of Belgium, is still credited as a Knight of the Black Eagle. The King of Montenegro is carried as an honorary commander of an Austrian regiment and as a Knight of the Black Eagle. In the non-sovereign houses, Nancy Leishman's marriage to the Dulte of Croy again appears as one of unequal birth, but their son, Karl Emmanuel, born at Dusseldorf on October 10, is recognized as hereditary Prince of Croy. CLEARING IS LUTED RESERVE! BANKS TO ACT ONLY FOR MEMBERS FOR PRESENT. Question Involving- Outside Institutions Referred to Committee for Report Next Month. WASHINGTON. Dec 11. How far the 12 Federal reserve banks shall go for the present in exercising the func tion of clearing-house associations was discussed today by the governors of the banks and the Federal Reserve Board. Although no marked difference of opinion exists between the governors and the Board, it was pointed out that many of the big banks in clearing house associations in large cities do not desire to see this- function exer cised by the reserve banks. On the other hand, some members of the Board insist that one of the ends aimed at In the reserve act was free clearances through reserve banks, and that the debates in Congress Bhowed that it was the evident purpose to break up alleged domination by the comparatively few men in control of the clearing-house associations over the smaller banks. It was decided today, however, that for the present the reserve banks shall only clear checks of member banks in their particular districts. The ques tion of clearances for outside banks was turned over to a committee of five governors, which will report to the Board next month. The Board has the power to direct clearances outside any district. The Store e Open Tonight " From 6 Until 9 F. M.

YULETIDE TRUCE OPPOSED German Military Caste, Not Kaiser, Blamed for Hostilities Presi dent Wilson Is Praised for Efforts to End Strife. WASHINGTON. Dec 11. With tears In his eyes, while sneaking of the horrors of the" European war, Andrew Carnegie, while visiting the White House today, praised President Wilson for his efforts toward peace and op posed the proposal for a truce between the belligerant nations through the Christmas season that would be fol lowed up by a resumption of hostili ties. The President was out golfing when Mr. Carnegie called. Mr. Carnegie said the military caste of Germany was responsible for the war, while the Kaiser was an ex ponent of peace. "The Kaiser hag told me he took the greatest pride In the fact ' that he reigned for many years without being involved In war." said Mr. Carnegie. "But be was surrounded by a ring of militarists who were eager for war at any price." Sympathy for Men Expressed. Mr. Carnegie showed interest in a suggestion to 'him that he might be called upon by the President to help bring about peace when the time came. "I will do anything I possibly can," he said. "I believe Mr. Wilson earnest ly desires peace and the entire country should support him." For the "men in the trenches," Mr. Carnegie expressed the greatest sym pathy. "They had nothing to do with bring ing about this terrible conflict," he said. "All they can do is to obey or ders and shoot each other down. It Is terrible that so many widows and or phans are being made because a few men wanted to go to war. It is terrible that all the scientists and other men of culture in Germany are not allowed to advice the Kaiser instead of the small clique of military men. Emperor Is tfot Blamed. "I don't see how there can help being a great reaction after this war is over. Private individuals used to fight when they had differences, but now they go to courts. I sincerely hope to see the day when nations will settle their dif ferences in the same way. There can be an international police force created to enforce the decisions of The Hague tribunal Just as police officers now en force decisions of the courts." Speaking of Germany's part In the war, Mr. Carnegie said he believed the Emperor was as 111 when the conflict broke out as he Is now. He expressed great sympathy for the Emperor, and said he knew his "heart must be broken" over the break in his peaceful reign. Later. Mr. Carnegie called on Secre tary Bryan.
