FLAX PLANT HEAD
FACES LOSS OF JOB
Governor Defends Mr. Cady
and Charges Studied Effort
to Discredit Industry.
CHANGE IS LIKELY SOON
Superintendent Will Be rtetained
During Adjustment of Insur
ance Due to Recent Fire
at State Prison.
SALEM, Or., July 28. (Special.)
J. C. Cady. superintendent of the Ore
gon penitentiary flax plant, faces prob
able removal by the State Board of
Control as soon as the insurance on
the flax lost in the recent prison fire is
adjusted.
This became apparent today at a
meeting of the Board of Control, when
State Treasurer Kay announced that
he stood with Secretary Olcott for a
change in superintendent of the flax
plant. Mr. Cady's successor probably
will not be chosen immediately, as the
flax plant will not begin operations
on the new crop for several months.
The crop is now being harvested by
convicts in charge of prison officials.
At today's meeting Governor Withy
combe said that he still had confidence
in Mr. Cady's ability. He charged that
the superintendent had not had the co
operation of R. B. Goodin, secretary
of the Board of Control, and officials
at the penitentiary. Despite this, he
declared he was convinced the flax
industry could be made a success.
Other members of the board agreed
with the executive in this last state
met c.
Governor Makes Charges.
"There has been a studied effort to
discredit the flax industry." said the
Governor. "The whole thing has been
misrepresented. There has been no
co-operation in this office, referring
to the aecretary of the board, or at the
penitentiary. At the penitentiary, I
know that teams have stood in the
barn because Mr. Cornelius would not
co-operate with Mr. Cady."
Both Secretary Goodin and Super
intendent Minto, of the penitentiary,
protested vehemently "that they had
Pid -d Mr. Cady in every possible way.
"I want to say," replied Secretary
Ooodin, "that I have done everything
1 could to aid Mr. Cady, and that I have
consulted with the Governor at every
step. He has been informed all along
of how affairs at the flax plant were
rrojrrossing.'-
"That's all right." interposed the Gov
ernor, "but I want to say again that
there has been a studied effort by this
office (Goodin's) to magnify things."
Superintendent Minto flatly contra
dicted the Governor when he charged
lack of co-operation by the penitentiary
officials with Mr. Cady.
"That's not right," he said. "So far
as I am concerned, I have helped Mr.
CaJy in every way. Only once, I told
Mr. Cady when he had hauled a large
quantity of straw into the fields last
Winter, that he had made a mistake."
The Governor continued, however, to
Insist that Mr. Cady had not received
the proper support from Secretary J
Goodin or the prison officials.
Mr. Kay Cause Surprise.
Treasurer Kay caused, some surprise
when he suggested that it was the
proper time to decide what the Board
would do in regard to Mr. Cady's re
tention. He said he believed under the
circumstances that Mr. Cady should be
relieved. He agreed to postpone ac
tion, however, at the Governor's re
quest until the flax insurance con
troversy had been adjusted, though he
declared he did not believe Mr. Cady
should "be kept on the payroll just for
that."
In response to Secretary Olcotl's in
quiry as to where Mr. Cady was and
why he was not present at the meet
ing of the board. Governor Withy
rombe said the flax superintendent had
gone to Estacada for a few days. Upon
Mr. Kay's suggestion. Secretary Goodin
was instructed to notify Mr. Cady to
return to be present when the adjust
ment of the loss of the burned flax
was made. It was decided that Secre
tary Goodin. Mr. Cady, Walter Johnson,
of the prison force handling the flax',
and a representative of the insurance
company, should meet and fix the
amount of flax burned.
It developed that a contract had been
made with the California Cotton Com
pany of Oakland whereby the state
had agreed to furnish a larger amount
of fiber and tow than eventually was
obtained from the entire crop.
"How did It happen that such a con
tract was made," queried Secretary Olcott.
Covenor Sees Error.
Mr. Goodin explained that he had
aken Mr. Cady's estimate of the crop
prior to maKing me contract, ana tne
Governor said he could easily see
where Mr. Cady had been in error.
"There is one phase we didn't con
sider at the beginning," said the Gov
ernor, "and that was loss bound to
result from inexperience. Our men
through inexperience and largely
through indifference lost tons. We
must study how to overcome losses of
this character.
The report of Secretary Goodin as
to the disbursements on account of
the flax work and the operation of the
prison rock crusher was Inspected mi
nutely by the board, and a reclassi
fication of some -of the items will be
made. The report showed that out of
$50,000 appropriated by the Leglsla
ture, J3S.1S3.3S had been expended in
conducting the flax industry and $10,
049.39 in operating the rock crusher,
leaving 1767.23 of the appropriation
unexpended. From tfte sale of seed.
liber and tow. the state has so far
realized IS445.06. A portion of the
crop yet is unsold. Altogether the
state will have approximately $10,000
to use in financing this year's crop.
With this year's crop estimated at
about 1300 tons of straw, it may be
necessary to call upon the emergency
board to rurnisn enough money to fi
fiance it.
about the place where work is being
carried on, for the purpose of lawfully
and peacefully persuading persons not
to engage in work, but when they go
beyond this and engage in threats and
violence, then it is unlawful.
"And it is not even necessary that
they should resort to outright violence,
for they may gather so many pickets
together as to impede traffic and the
peaceful passage of workmen. Or it
might be by muttering, or by language
such as to create fear- and intimidate
men from working."
The court said that in giving his de
cision, he would not review the
evidence presented at the hearing.
Strikers Held Peace Breakers.
"It is sufficient to say," he declared,
"that there has been in the conduct of
this strike a breach of the peace on
three or four several occasions,
brought on by the strikers themselves.
Further, it Is not denied that on sev
eral occasions they have followed
wives of strikebreakers from the place
of work to their homes.
"Of course, this could have no other
result than to put these women in fear
and it could have no other result or
purpose than to intimidate the women
and thus intimidate the workmen
themselves."
Such practices. Judge Wolverton said.
could not be approved by the court
nor by any law-abiding citizens.
"It is said on the other hand," he
continued, "that the company ought not
to have employed armed men for the
purpose of carrying on the ' strike
breaking.
"I don't myself approve of employ
ers' resorting to this method of em
ploying men and providing them with
arms where it is probable or possible
that it might lead to altercation and
bloodshed. It seems to me that em
ployers might carry on opposition to
the strike in some other way without
leading to probable altercation and
bloodshed."
He spoke of conditions on the water
front as brought out in the . affidavits
presented to the court which he had
considered in making his ruling.
"The very atmosphere where the
strike is being carried on," said Judge
Wolverton, "and the fact that it Is dif
ficult for men desiring work to pass
through the pickets, itself, without
anything else, is sufficient to indicate
to the court that while there have been
breaches of the peace, that if this con
dition exists there are very likely to
bo, other breaches of the peace.
"So I think the court ought to inter
vene and continue this injunction, pend
ing further hearing of the case, against
further acts of violence by the men."
Judge Wolverton then spoke in praise
of the instructions issued to strikers
by their leaders, directing them to re
frain absolutely from language and ac
tions likely to result in violence, and
also the instructions given by Thomas
McCusker, secretary of the Kmployers'
Association, to guards employed by
him, that they were likewise to re
frain from any acts of violence. The
court said, however, that he did not
approve of Mr. McCusker's arming the
guards.
In conclusion. Judge Wolverton said:
"I will say that the court will modify
its injunction. It will permit picket
ing on condition that it be carried on
peacefully, and that no threats be made,
that there be no violence, vile language
or other intimidation to interfere with
the men who come to work for the
defendant.
"And if it should appear hereafter
that the probability or possibility of
further violence by the longshoremen
hae ceased, I will be very glad to re
voke the injunction."
COURT CURB IS MODIFIED
(Continued From First Fap.
overstepped and there is intimidation,
violence and the like, then the actions
of the strikers become unlawful and
lead to riot and bloodshed and the dis
integration of government itself."
I'M of Force Is Unlawful.
Discussing the legal status of pick
eting. Judge Wolverton had this to
say:
"The laborers have a right to resort
to picketing. When they do that, their
rights and the duties of the court are
well defined by the Clayton act. They
have the right to persuade men by
peaceful means not to work.
"Ticketing is an undoubted right
tinder the law, and under the law as
It stood before. But when workmen
go beyond picketing and exercise acts
of enforcing submission by force of
arms, then they proceed beyond their
rights under the law.
"A peaceful picketing may be carried
on when laborers post themselves
BEND CONTINUES FIGHT
PROPOSAL TO MOVE COl'TY SEAT
IS NOT ABANDONED.
Prlnevllle Suggestion for Division
Hinges on Attitude of Terrebonne
and Povrell Butte Precincts.
BEND. Or., July 28. (Special.) The
question as to what shall be done to
provide a county seat on the west
side of Crook County which would be
accessible by railroad and nearer to
the center of population is under dis
cussion in a new form following a
meeting here last night of representa
tives of nearly all the West Side vot
ing precincts.
t ailing to obtain an agreement with
Prineville on division lines early, in the
month, a bill was initated to remove
the county seat to Bend and the cam
pagn was well under way when an
effort was made by East Side repre
sentatives to work out a compromise.
Lines were suggested at a meeting
here Monday, on which the Prineville
section was ready to pledge the "neces
sary 35 per cent vote.
At last night s meeting it was voted
that the county seat removal should
not be abandoned nor the Prineville
offer accepted unless the division line
be placed satisfactorily to the Terre
boone and the Powell Butte precincts,
which, it is said, wish to be in the
new county.
A later meeting will be held to
reach a final decision.

.LAREDO, Tex., July 28. Santiago
Kamierez. ex-Governor of the Mexican
State of Coahuila and later a Vlllista
General, was publicly executed on the
plaza at Saltillo. Mex., Monday, ac
cording to news reaching Nuevo Laredo
tonight from an authentic source. Ra
mieress. it was said, had left Mexico
with the dwindling of Villa's power and
had returned recently to offer his serv
ices to General Carranza when war be
tween the United States and Mexico
seemed imminent.
Ten thousand persons, according to
the report, witnessed the execution.
Ramierez met death bravely, refusing
to be blindfolded when he stood before
the firing squad. Efforts were made
by influential Mexicans at Saltillo to
save Ramierez' life, a 3000-word peti
tion having been sent directly to Gen
eral Carranza, but the latter declined to
intervene.
Mexican arrivals from the south to
day said many former Villa officers
who accepted amnesty from the Car

ties with the United States seemed pos
sible, were making their way to the
border in fear for their lives.

Loss of Water at Precarious Period
of Beet Crop Regarded as Worst
Feature' Company Re
ported Involved.
GRANTS TASS. Or.. July 18. (Spe
cial.) What is believed to have been
an attempt to blow up the pumping
plant which supplies the south side and
Fruitdale ditches with irrigation water
at the dam of the Rogue River Public
Service Corporation, three miles east of
this city, was made at the pumping
station early this morning.
The night watchman at the pumping
station had just stepped behind some
heavy timbers when a terrific explosion
occurred. Upon investigation it ap
peared evident that a charge of dyna
mite had been exploded which had torn
into atoms the six-foot drive pulley
and 41-inch belt operating the large
centrifugal pump which drives the
water into the upper level ditches of
the plant.
The turbines were damaged and tlm
bers ripped off the dam. The damage
to the plant will amount to approxi
mately $3000, although the most seri
ous aspect at the present time is the
loss of the Irrigation water to severa
hundreds of acres of sugar beets.
The act is supposed to be the result
of labor troubles over the construction
of the ditches. Some weeks ago the
Southern Oregon Construction Com
pany, an auxiliary corporation of the
Rogue River Public Service Corpora
tion, with George E. Sanders as its
president and manager, put a large
crew of men at work in the construc
tion of the South Side and Fruitdale
ditches. After $5000 in wages had ac
crued to the laborers they were dis
charged, with no definite agreement as
to when they would be paid. After
persistent demands the laborers filed
liens against the dam, ditches and
equipment belonging to either the Pub
lic Service Corporation or the Southern
Oregon Construction Company. More
than 100 laborers were represented in
this procedure. Frequent promises of
payment were made, but were nt fut-
filled. It was asserted that Mr.
Sanders was in Salt Lake attempting
to raise money and would return vith
in a few days with money to clear up
all the claims. Mr. Sanders arrived the
first of the week with his attorney.
Wharton Plummer, of Chicago, but the
only concession he was prepared to
make was a payment of 20 per cent of
all indebtedness September 15. It is
reported that threats were made then
that water never would be allowed to
flow in the South Side ditch until all
the labor claims had been paid.
Mr. Sanders has left the city again.
It is alleged that he is attempting to
float bonds for the construction of a
beet sugar factory in Montana.
The Sanders concerns owe more than
$50,000 of current accounts in the
vicinity of Grants Pass.
apolis was called today for August 3
by Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts,
acting chairman of the National com
mittee. The conference will decide
whether a convention shall be called to
complete the National ticket.
Decision to call the meeting was
reached by Mr. Hale after frequent
conferences with Bainbridge Colby,
leader of the "insurgent" Progressives
in New York State, and other promi
nent Eastern Progressives.
There will be a frank airing of views
at the Indianapolis meeting, it was
said. Some Progressives who have not
returned to the Republican ranks arc
desirous that a conference be held to
place a ticket in the field. Another
section contends, it was said tonight,
that such a step would be imprac
ticable because the party machinery In
many states was controlled by men
who have declared allegiance to the
Republican party.

ity for Chaplains
SALEM, Or.. July 28. (Special.) A
plea for more freedom of action by
chaplains at the Oregon Penitentiary in
their relations with prisoners was
r.iide today by Governor Withycombe
at a meeting of the State Board of
Control.
"If we. can't trust the champalns.

SHARKS SEEN OFF H0QUIAM
Presence of Animals, Which Are Not
Dangerous, Laid to Warm Water.
HOQUIAM, Wash.. July 28. (Spe
cial.) Large numbers of sharks have
been reported of late in South Bay by
employes of the whaling station, ac
cording to word brought to Hoquiam.
The sharks are what are commonly
known as mud sharks and not the man
eating variety. Sharks, while not un
known in Grays Harbor, are quite rare.
A phenomenon reported this season
Is thought to have some bearing on
the presence of the sharks in Grays
Harbor and also on the run of salmon
into Puget Sound past Neah Bay. This
is the fact that the water of the Pa
cific Ocean at the beaches in this dls-
tric is about 10 degrees warmer this
season than in previous Summers.

PRISON CENSOR DESIRED
PAPERS TO BE READ BEFORE TIIE
PRISONERS CA SKR THEM.
Warden Telia Board Tbat Oregon Dally
Journal, with False Statements,
Makes Control Hard.
SALEM, Or.. July 18. (Special.)
The State Board of Control today
granted the request of J. W. Minto,
superintendent of the Oregon Peniten
tiary, that all newspapers entering the
prison be censored by the prison of
ficials before they are read by the con
victs. Action of Mr. Minto was made neces
sary, he told the board, principally be
cause the Oregon Dally Journal, of
Portland, has printed articles with an
apparent purpose of creating rebellion
and discontent among the prisoners.
"You are aware that at the present
time there is unrestricted admission of
all newspapers, local and foreign, for
circulation among the prisoners," said
Superintendent Minto, "and some news
papers take advantage of this condi
tion to print stuff that Is calculated! to
arouse rebellion and encourage re
sistance against prison rules and disci
pline in the minds of the worst char
acters we have to control.
"This is notably true of the Port
land Journal, which, without regard for
truth and with apparent evil purpose,
keeps up such a policy of attack upon
the management as breeds practically
all the trouble we have to contend
with within the prison. Sih attacks
cause the prisoners to believe that the
public condones their treatment and
that they will receive full sympathy
for anything they may do to circum
vent, disobey and annoy the officials,
and you can readily see the conse
quences of such a feeling.
"I will ask authority from your hon
orable body for the officials to censor
all newspapers for the prisoners and
to eliminate such portions of them as
are considered conducive to the dis
content and rebellion of the convicts.'
