Oil SHIP Deputy Sheriff Says Invaders Aboard Vessel Fired When Officers Would Parley. SPEECH ISSUE IS DENIED declaration Is Made That Everett Allowed Meetings In Certain Sections bat Not on Main Streets of City. SEATTLE. "Wash.. March 9. Men on the steamer Verona fired the first hots In the pistol battle at Everett, Wash., last November 5 between mem bers of a free-speech expedition, sent there aboard the vessel by the Seattle headquarters of the Industrial "Work ers of the "World, and members of a Sheriffs posse on the dock. This was the testimony of Harry "W. Ehaw, a member of the posse, at the trial In the Superior Court here today of Thomas H. Tracy, who Is alleged to have been one of the leaders of the expedition and who is charged specif ically with the murder of Deputy Sher iff Jefferson Beard, one of the posse. Two of the Sheriff's posse and five of the party on the boat were killed. Tracy is the first of 74 members of the expedition accused of murder In connection with the shooting to be placed on rial. Shot Fired During: Parley. Shaw testified that as Sheriff McRae was trying to address the men on the Verona, which had tied at the dock, three shots, followed quickly by a vol ley, were fired by persons aboard the craft. The witness said that he saw the Sheriff stagger and heard, him say, "They've got me," and that the wounded officer drew his revolver and returned the fire of his assailants. Then, Shaw said, other members of the posse began firing and that the crowd on the boat, which he estimated at about 200 in number, ran to the other side of the vessel and that this caused It to list badly. He saw several of those aboard fall as If they had been hot. At this Juncture, Shaw testified, he went to the assistance of Deputy Sheriff Beard, who was lying wounded on the dock, and Immediately took him and another wounded member of the posse to a hospital. The witness said he did rot return to the wharf after going to the hospital. Sherlfl Cautioned Men. In recounting the Incidents leading tip to the battle, Shaw said that the previous day handbills had been circu lated advertising a "free speech" meet ing on the streets, against which there was a city ordinance, and that it was reported a number of speakers and sympathizers carrying arms were com ing from Seattle. He testified that early In the after noon of November 5. an hour and a half before the Verona was due. Sheriff Mc Rae notified the deputies to assemble near the city dock. Shaw and about 125 others responded to the calL Sheriff McRae cautioned them not to display nor use their pistols unless absolutely necessary, and the order was carefully obeyed, Shaw testified. As the boat neared the dock men In the bow were singing and shouting. "W hen it drew alongside, SheriU McRae ehouted: "Who Is your leader, boys?" Several men replied loudly: "We are a.11 leaders, by Godl" The "manner of the men was belligerent. The Sheriff told them that their coming was unlaw ful and that they could not land. "The hell we can't," came In a chorus from the boat. The Sheriff held his right hand at his side and his left hand raised in the air while he addressed the visitors. Then the 6 hot 3 came from the boat. Boys Tell of Father's Death. Earlier In the day Lester and Chester Beard. 22-year-old twin sons of Deputy Sheriff Beard, described their father's death and identified his bullet-marked clothing, and Doctors William O. Copps, . P. Howard and W. E. West, of Ev erett, testified as to the fatal nature of the bullet wound, which resulted In Mr. Beard's death. Prosecuting Atorney Black, of Snoho mish County, made the opening address this morning. Mr. BJack said the state would Bhow that Tracy was a leader in the shooting, a bullet from his pistol fcelng among the first fired. He ex plained that the City Council of Ev erett had passed an ordinance pro hibiting street meetings in the crowded business part of Hewitt avenue, but had permitted several meetings at other places, including the City Park, which were attended by large numbers of per sons. "It was not therefore for the purpose of obtaining free speech that the 1. W. W. went to Everett." he said. MRS. YEONGETS $30,000 EXTIRE ESTATE OF MRS. FARRELL EXCEPT 250 LEFT TO NIECE.

For the unfailing kindness and sympathetic care of this niece, Mrs. Farrell determined to show her gratitude hy leaving her estate to her, even though it meant practically no pro vision for brothers and sisters.

BY BEN HUR LAMPMAN. f-w JO FLOUT parental authority and I steal away the pretty daughter of the household Is a device often employed by romanticists. Antone Teresi tried It in eal life. And that is why, say his mourning friends, that he drove his auto truck over a steep aliff Wednesday morning at the foot of Grand avenue, and died a suicide. In 1907 Antone sailed from Italy to New York, and within a few days was reunited with his parents, already prospering as produce dealers In this city. They lived at 70S Wood worth avenue, Domenico Teresi, the father, his mother and an elder brother. An tone became a produce peddler. He was lame and slight of stature, but after a year or two he looked hopefully about for a helpmeet of his own people. Little Tanina Lobuo, the winsome daughter of a neighbor, was but a romping 7-year-old patron of the movies when Antone Teresi came to Portland. She was destined to wed well, said Fillipo and his wife, for had not her father earned and saved much money as a street peddler of vegetables and fruit? Parental Objections Met. One day Tanina grew up, overnight it seemed. The amazed and delighted Antone paid court to the pretty daugh ter of the Lobues. "She is not for you," the father told him, sketching in terms beyond mistake the financial barrier that forbade their marriage. Yet Tanina, engrossed with her first affair, and swept away by the impetu ous ardor of the suitor, still listened to him, and dared the displeasure of her parents. "Leave them." counseled the pleading Antone, "ahd come with me. When we return they must surely forgive us." Six months ago, so the story la told. Fillipo Lobus flew Into a towering rage on a certain memorable morning. His daughter, the lovely Tanina, for whom he bad hoped so much and planned greatly, was gone with An tone. For a week the father searched and vowed to settle the score with the Lochlnvar of Little Italy. Meanwhile Tony and Tanina were hiding In Hood River, it is said. They came home bravely, met the angered parents and weathered the torm of rage and rebuke. "What are you going to do about It?" asked the abductor, reckoning on the parental pride and fear of blotching the family name. Though friends advised that the matter be laid before the grand Jury, COUNCIL SEAT LOST J. F. Albright Removed for Continued Drunkenness. NEW CASE IS PENDING Long Lists of Arrests and Frequent Attendance at Meetings While Intoxicated Are Reasons of .. Council for Action. OREGON CITY. March 9. (Special.) After spending the night In the City J an lonowlng his arrest on a charge or drunkenness, John F. Albright. Councilman from the First Ward, was expelled from his seat in the Council at a special meeting today. i.very member of the Council was present at the meeting, save Albright. The vote against him was unanimous. E. B. Andrews, representing the Third Ward, did not vote owing to the fact that his seat is questioned. The resolution adopted made It clear that because Albright has attended meetings of the Council while intoxi cated and because his escapades have recently landed him in the arms of the law with considerable frequency the Councilmen considered that he had forfeited his right to a seat. No successor was selected, but one will be named by the Council at 'the next regular meeting. The Albright affair, which came to a head today, has "been the chief sub ject of talk in Oregon City for sev eral months. During the recent City Attorney row, which has now been settled, it was forced to retire up stage for a time while the other affair took the limelight. But this was due more to the fact that Albright stayed sober for a time and did not clash with the police. The ousted Councilman Is at liberty today under $100 cash bond. Despite the fact that his companion, Leslie Wells, with whom he was arrested Thursday night by Chief of Police Blanchard and Night Officer French, this mbrning pleaded guilty and took a sentence of $25 and 25 days in Jail, Albright pleaded not guilty and de manded a Jur trial. Jiia case win come up oeiore Iiy Recorder Loder Monday at 2 o'clock. Albright will be represented by J. E. Hedges, who appeared before the Council and made a .plea In Albright's behalf. Albright was recently fined $50 by Mr. Loder when he was convicted of driving his big seven-passenger auto mobile while intoxicated. Mr. Loder attempted to withhold the machine from Albright's use, but was unable to do more than keep Albright out of it until he paid his fine. Before he was arreBted he drove the machine onto the sidewalk in front of the Grand Theater as the result of a dare. THREAT LAID TO PASTOR (Continued From First Page.) tion Mr. Tucker -sought to bring out the number of times Billingsley had been arrested in Oklahoma. He inquired how many times by actual count he had been arrested. "I think I've been arrested more times than your records will show." was his reply, and later the- defense obtained from him identification of a typewritten statement showing a number of arrests in Oklahoma. "Is that correct, and If not. what is the matter with it?" asked Mr. Tucker. "It seems to be correct but it's a trine short, answered the witness. S4000 Put on Table, Says Witness. This was a day of thrills in Fed eral Judge Neterer's court, completing me iourtn aay oi the trial of Mayor Gill and others. When Logan, telling of an alleged conversation in the office of the Chief of Police on the afternoon of August su lasi, saia: i put $4000 on the table, and the Mayor took it and put it in his pocket," he furnished an unex pected thrill. As he said it he thrust forward his Jaw and extended an index linger toward the Jury and spoke in a concise, matter-of-fact tone. The Mayor laugnea outright and shook his head. But when Logan gave other pur ported Information to the jury he brou-ght about moments of tenseness not anticipated. For Instance, in the afternoon he remarked: "X srant to m tlx Mayor-I float rtr Fillipo Lobue cooled his wrath and for gave them. "Very well, be married, then," he agreed. "It is possible that providence will take care of you both." He smiled for the first time at the culprits. "If not. I think that we should be able to. her parents and yours." Two months ago the wedding was celebrated, and Tony and Tanina made their home in a house of their own choosing, on Karl street, near East Sixteenth. 5f et the produce business refused to prosper, and the husband's roseate pledges to his bride seemed ever so far away. So distant, in truth, that he sought his mother and told her of his despondency. "I am a failure," he said, "and shall never be able to care for Tanina as she was cared for." "All foolishness!" his mother cheered him. "Why should you grieve about it. If you do not make money this year, I think that we, and Tanina's father, will be able to aid you." "I will not ask them," sullenly de clared her son. "Sometimes I think that I shall kill myself." "All foolishness!" repeated his mother, bustling about her kitchen. Sometime Monday, or possibly Tues day, Antone Teresi took out, the stub pencil with which he figured his dwindling accounts, and wrote with labored accuracy a finis to his affairs and a farewell to Tanina. Doubt A boot Note Dispelled. "Not being able to support my family," he wrote without preamble, "I kill myself. Tony Teresi." And Wednesday morning, at an hour before dawn, he twisted the steering wheel of his auto-truck toward the verge of the cliff that fronts the Ore gon Water Power right of way, near the Inman-Poulsen Lumber Company's yards and urged it to the plunge. One hundred and fifty feet below, the auto truck crashed to wreckage. No less complete was the unwitnessed finish of Antone Teresi. , "Question was raised of the authen ticity of the suicide note," commented Attorney M. G. Montrezza yesterday. "His brother, Domenico Teresi, told the Sheriff that Antone could neither read nor write. That is not true and he has since admitted his mistake. The writ ing Is identical with the signature upon Antone's declaration of intention to became a citizen, which we pro cured at the Courthouse."

I told him Dr. Matthews was not; that I had Just been to see him and that Matthews had pointed his finger at me and told me I gave the Mayor $7500. Campaign Letter Amuses. "The county grand Jury was then in session and he threatened to send me to the penitentiary if I didn't tell about Gill. I guess he was trying to reform me or something. The Mayor said the grand Jury would not do anything." Special Prosecutor Reames offered another unexpected bit of drama when he said he attempted to show by the witness that at the time of the famous Billingsley "clean-slate agreement with the Mayor," so-called, the Mayor, as a member of the law firm of Gill, poyt & Frye, also had settled a civil suit brought by the widow of Policeman Weedln, who was killed at a Billings ley warehouse. A letter from Mike Hally, then cam paign manager 'for Hodge, suggesting that Logan Billingsley be requisitioned for much-needed campaign expense provoked a tendency toward mirth. In the course of Billingsley"s testi mony he brought out that he was in the habit of carrying around piles of $100 bills. "I usually carry a little money," he explained. "Have you ever been charged with any crime more serious than mur der?" asked Mr. Tucker. "No, I think not." said Billingsley. after a pause, during which he ap peared to be considering the matter. "Is there any crime you have not been charged with?" "Yes, I think there are several." The crush of persons trying to get into the already crowded courtroom reached the proportions of a riot after the noon recess. Deputy United States Marshals called in police to aid them in handling the crowd. Two women fainted. At the afternoon session Judge Neterer warned the spectators he would clear the courtroom If there were repetitions of outbursts of laugh ter that followed certain remarks on the witnesi stand. 500 Declared Loan.

Mrs. Mary Header, a" resident of Roseburg since 1913, died at the home of her daughter here Wednesday after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Meader was born in New York, but later located In Wisconsin, where she remained until the year 1890, when she moved to Nebraska, where her husband died.

PRICE IS HELD EXORBITANT Citizens Consider Plan to- Annex Desired Land to City, so as to . Permit of Condemnation. Selfishness Is Scored. Mayor F. C. Harley, of Astoria, whose efforts to obtain a naval base at As toria have been lndefatigible. is de termined that the greed of property owners who have placed an exorbitant price on the land needed by the Gov ernment for the naval base site shall not defeat the project. These owners demand $75,000 for land that is assessed at only $9930. The Clatsop County assessment is supposed to be made on a basis of 58 per cent of the value of the property assessed. The owners In question, however, have declined even to consider a pro posal by Mr. Harley that their price or fo.uuo be cut to S3(.iuu, wnicn. ne says, would be more than a good price for their holdings. The owners of the property under consideration by the Government, comprising about 244 acres on- Tongue Point, are the Hammond Lumber Company, Columbia Land & In vestment Company and V. and H. G. Van Dusen. Several hundred Astoria citizens at tended a mass meeting at the Astoria Theater Wednesday night, at which Mayor Harley told how the naval base was In danger because of the unrea sonable price demanded of the Gov ernment. Purchase by City Favored. Sentiment at the meeting was vir tually unanimous that the city of As toria, if need be, should bay the prop erty and present it to the uovern ment for a naval base. It was voted overwhelmingly to sub mit to the people of Astoria the ques tion of authorizing a bond issue of up to $75,000, If necessary, to meet tne situation. It was also voted to submit to the people at the same time a measure for the annexation of the property of the Hammond Lumber Company to the city of Astoria. This would permit of con demnation proceedings being under taken by the city to obtain the land neded at a reasonable and Just price. The property is now Just outside the city limits. There was strong condemnation of the alleged attempt of the property owners to "hold up" the Government on a matter of such direct and vital importance to Astoria and the whole state of Oregon. Mayor Harley was In Portland yes terday and discussed the situation. l cannot understand tne attiiuae oi any man who at such a critical period as this would deliberately take advan tage of the need of a naval base to demand so exorbitant a price for the land required," said Mr. Harley. Much of Tract Under "Water. "This is a time when we are all asked to 'stand by the Government.' We should stand by the Government. On so vital a matter as the National defense it seems unbelievable that any persons would permit their selfish In terests to stand in the way of a pa triotic duty. It is not as If they were asked to give the land for nothing, or to sell it at a price below its fair valuation. But to demand $75,000 for property that is assessed at only $9930 is so palpably unreasonable that no further comment is really necessary. Much of this land is of such charac ter that a man would need a diving suit to go on it. Only 110 of the 244 acres is upland property, most of the remainder being submerged. If the point were pressed I am not sure that the Government could not take this submerged tldelandawlthout paying the owners anything for it, for there is plenty of legal contention to the effect that such land belongs to the Govern ment. Owners' Policy Scored. "It is Just such a dog-in-the-manger policy as these landholders are main taining that is holding Oregon back and retarding its development. Is it any wonder that people with money hesitate to invest here when at a time of National peril property-owners will demand $75,000 for land needed for a naval base as part of the National de fense of Oregon, and of the Pacific Coast, that is assessed at only $9930 7 Mayor Harley has received a letter from Rear-Admiral J. M. Helms. U. S. N., senior member of the Com mission on Navy-yarda and Naval Sta tions, relative to the Astoria naval base situation. The commission twice visited Astoria a few-months ago, in the course of a trip of inspection of desirable Navy- yard and naval base sites, to look over the proposed site at Tongue Point. While it has not yet reported, owing to the difficulties about obtaining the landv its opinion is known to be favor able provided the site can be obtained at a fair price. Rear-Admiral Helms in his letter to Mayor Harley takes official cognizance of the discrepancy between the as sessed valuation of the property and the $ 1 5,000 price demanded for it Astoria Press Criticises. "In this connection." reads his com ment, "the commission notes that the ratio of assessed, to true values, used by the County Assessor in preparing tax lists, does not hold in the case of the Tongue Point property. It was to clear up such uncertainties and to de termine the reasons therefor that in quiries contained in reference (d) were aaaressea to you. Mayor Harley has been severely criticised for taking the fight for the naval base to papers outside of As toria. "An Astoria paper has ripped me up the back for giving out statements to other newspapers," said the Mayor. "I take the attitude that this naval base is not an Astoria matter alone, but a matter of the most vital import to the whole of Oregon, and more than that, to the whole Pacific Coast and the whole United States. "There Is at present no naval base between Puget Sound and San Fran cisco. Without bases where vessels may put in for repairs and overhaul ing, our Navy would be terribly hand! capped in time of war. We must pre pare, and as part of any adequate prep aration, there must be a base between Puget Sound and San Francisco. The Columbia River Is the logical point for sucn a naval base: "I shall continue this fight until we win. The people of Astoria realize the tuation and are with me." J. W. Hobbs Declines Nomination.
