13 THE 3IOKXING .OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1919. WORKMEN'S COUNCIL T GIVE UP HALLS Arion Owner Hints at Suit to Force Vacation. LEASE EXPIRES IN 30 DAYS Taul Wcsslnscr Assures Mayor Ba ker Co-operation in Complying AVItU Syndicalism Law. The soldiers', sailors' and TTorlimen's council will be ejected from Arion hall, its present headquarters, as quick ly as the present lease on the premises expires, which is within 30 days, according- to Paul Wessinger, manager ot the Weinhard estate, owner of the building. Should It become necessary, because of violations of the recently enacted criminal syndicalism bill, suit will be instituted to cancel the present lease and force vacation of the prem ises, Mr. "Wessinger said. Decision to force out this radical body, formed in imitation of the Rus sian soviet government, came upon de livery of a letter signed by Mayor Eaker and District Attorney Evans call ing attention to the clause in the new bill, making owners of buildings re sponsible for violations of the law. An other letter of the same import was also sent to A. L. Parkhlrst, owner of the Hotel Northern building, in which the I. W. W. headquarters are located. Attention in this letter was called to the frequent requests made by both state and federal officials for the ejec tion of the I. W. W. organization, re quests which had been unheeded. The letter to Mr. Wessinged invited attention to the provisions of section 4 of the syndicalism law, which is as follows: Owners Held Liable. "The owner, lessee, agent, superin tendent or person in charge or occupa tion of any place, building, room or rooms, or structure, who knowingly permits therein any assembly or con sort of persons prohibited by the pro visions of section 3 of this act, or who after notification by authorized public or peace officers that the place or premises, or any part thereof, is or are no used, permits such use to be con tinued, is guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable upon conviction thereof by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 60 days or for not more than one year, or by a fine of not less than $100 or more than $500, or by both such imprisonment and fine." The Arion hall for some months past has been under short-time leases to the socialist party, a verbal agreement hav ing been at all times in existence, ac cording to Mr. Wessinger, that the so cialists would give up the quarters in the event that new tenants were se cured. Suit to Cancel Ifase Suggested. But a few days ago before an nouncement had been made that own ers of buildings would be held respon sible for violations of the law within the building, Mr.. Wessinger said that he had given instructions that no more rent should be accepted after the pres ent lease had expired. "During the period the socialists used Arion hall there seemed to be no com plaint," said Mr. "Wessinger. "However, the new movement comes fai from meeting with my approval, nor that of any of the directors and stockholders of the Winhard estate. If necessary, suit will be instituted against the so called Workmen's Soldiers' adn Sailors council to force a cancellation of the present lease and should such action be unnecessary the vaaction will take place at the expiration of the present lease which comes within 60 days from the present time. Co-operation Promised to Mayor, Mayor Baker was assured yesterday by Mr. Wessinger that full co-operation of the officials of the Weinhard estate will be given to the officials in con nection with the enforcement of the syndicalism act. "We met with instant co-operation in our dealings with the ownersof the Arion hall," said Mayor Baker. "As yet we have heard nothing from the owner of the building used by the I. W. W. and in view of the refusal to co-operate with the requests made by federal and state officials, from time to time, in the past, it may not be forthcoming. "However, as stated in the letter, the provisions of the act will be rigidly enforced. It behooves the owners of buildings to know what happens within their buildings, for ignorance of such actions will r.ot sonstitute a defense, in the event of prosecution of building owners under this act." WESTERN FARMS TO LEAD East Shown to I5e Declining Agri culturally. BERKELEY, Cal. Iti the future the Nation must look to the West for its farmers, if figures presented by Dr. Elwood Mead, head of the State Land Settlement Board and professor of rural institutions at the University of California, are properly analyzed. Startling information concerning the gradual decrease of farms and farmers in Eastern states, long looked to as the leading agricultural centers of the Na tion, have been prepared by Dr. Mead as a result of investigations made by him into the land colonization project for returned soldiers. In contrast to the growing disregard of the- Eastern states for things savoring-of farms and farming, Dr. Mead declares that California in particular and the West In general are gradually coming to the front as leaders in agri cultural production. For that reason, he declares, California will have the opportunity of leading the Nation in opening farms for returned war heroes. "During the last 50 years the area of farming land in New England has de creased 4 2 per cent," says Dr. Mead. "In the last 70 years the sheep on New England tarms have decreased fro 4.000,00 to 439,000, or 89 per cent The newspapers of the last 30 days have had disquieting reports of emaciated children and discontented city workers. due to the high prices and inadequate supply of milk. In the last quarter of a century the population of Massachu setts Increased 59 per cent, while the local milk supply diminished 24 per yrnen coTTee disagrees "try JNSTANT POSTUM a few days. You'll probably continue using POSTUM MUS cent, and New England now imports milk from Canada. "The soil of Connecticut is as fertile as the sand dunes of Denmark, and the Nutmeg state is as thickly peopled, yet in the last 60 years 800,000 acres of Connecticut land have gone out of cultivation, while in the same time 1,000,00 acres have been added to the cultivated area of Denmark." As evidence of California's strides in meeting agricultural needs. Dr. Mead declares that this state Is the only American state which had adopted the land settlement plan, pointing to the Durham colony as a stride far in ad vance of the remainder of the Nation. "The Durham settlement is more than a self-supporting addition to the state's population and productive wealth," he says. "It is a. significant patriotic achievement. Settlements of this kind are an antidote to tenantry; the best way to stop the drift of young people to the cities." In addition. Dr. Mead declares that the California settlement has an im portant relation to the movement to provide homes for returning soldiers. He says: "Every soldier who wants to live In the country, and who is qualified to succeed there, should be given a chance. It cannot be done successfully by financing farm buying by scattered in dividuals. It can be done through planned community development popu-'-mLovshrdluSHP.DL HM R HMM "That is the conclusion of all of the countries which have had the most ex perience and have given the most study to this subject. England, Australia, New Zealand, and even France, are making generous but carefully thought out provisions for communities of sol dier settlers. "The policy which Secretary Lane has presented to the Nation, if adopted, will both add new productive areas and help to end our crude and destructive meth ods of cultivation. It will start this Nation on a new and better kind of rural progress, whose effect will be felt for many decades to come." Dr. Mead is spending two weeks in Berkeley before returning to Washing ton to conclude plans for opening land for soldiers. LONG LDST WIFE FDUBD CAPTAIN" SEARCHES FOU MATE FOR HALF CEXTCRV. Separation Takes Place "When Man Is Thought to Have Perished in Eire at Rockland, 3Ie. OMAHA. Neb. After a search lasting nearly half a century. Captain Fred erick A. Williams, of Boston, has re cently located in Omaha the wife from whom he became separated when he was thought to have been killed in a hotel fire in Rockland, Me., in 1874, and they are now living together in this city. Captain Williams is 83 years old, and his wife is only a few years his junior. They were married ' in 1873, separated in 1874, and reunited in 19f8. "I never ceased to search for her from the time I left the hospital until I found her through the pension de partment in Washington," said Captain Williams. - Captain Williams is well connected in Boston, where lie owns several pieces of property. He is a cousin of General Mansfield of that city, and has other relatives there. He lived for many years in the town of Spencer, Mass., near Worcester, and was em ployed 1 nthe print shop of Hefferman, in Spencer. His sister, Mrs. Mary Mad licott, lives in Middletown, Conn., and through money left him by his cousin. Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, upon the death of that churchman, Captain Williams prosecuted the search for his lost wife for ten years. Captain "Williams wa born in Glens Falls, N. Y., where he has many kins men yet living. He came West and was a lieutenant in Company A, 5th Iowa Infantry, during the Civil War. In the last year o fthe war he was captain of Company Tj. 3d Arkansas Cavalry. At the close of the war he went to Bloom ington. III., and met and married Rachael Bell Best. That was in 1873. The next year Captain Williams went East on business. When in Rockland, Me., the hotel in which he was stop ping, burned and a number of guests were killed. Among the dead, as re ported in the newspapers, was Captain Frederick A. Williams. Mrs. Williams gave her husband up for dead and left Bloofington, going to Lansing, Michigan, where she lived and worked for several years. Then she went to Cleveland, O., and spent sev eral more years. Five years after the hotel fire Mrs. Williams was married to J. G. McXeal, a traveling man, and in time came to Omaha to live. Mr. McXeal died ten years ago, and his widow continued tu live in this city. Captain Williams was badly injured in the hotel fire, and was in a hospital for many months, unable to tell his name or anything else about himself. Finally he recovered sufficiently to realize matters, and had the hospital attendants write to hid wife for him. The letter was returned unclaimed He wrote again and again. He found she had left Bloomington, but could not discover where she had gone. Ten years later he located one of his wife s rela tives, but as the relatives had urged her to marry MsXeal, and realized the trouble which would ensue tcall, they ioia wunams nis wire was aeai. Williams did not believe the story, but he could get no trace of her. He kept up the search, however, making his home in and around Boston. AVhen his cousin. Bishop Williams, died and left him a good sum of money, he spent it all searching for his lost wife. In the meantime he prospered in business and is well-to-do now. Some months ago Mrs. McNeal was told she was entitled to a pension be cause of her first husband. So she ap plied to the Pension Department. The The reply came back that Captain F. A. Williams was not dead, but-was draw ing a pension himself. Mrs. McXeal thought It must be a mistake and applied to Congressman C. O. Lobeck, of Omaha, to straighten out the matter. Congressman Lobeck started an investigation. In the meantime the War Depart ment notified Captain Williams in Bos ton that Mrs. Rachel B. McXeal, of Omaha, claiming to be his widow by a former marriage, had applied for a pension on account of his services. On the day Captain Williams re ceived that letter he sent a telegram to Mrs. McXeal in Omaha asking if she was really the Rachel Bell Best he had married in Bloomington nearly half a century ago. An answering telegram reached him a few hours later, telling him she was, and asking him to come to her. The first train out of Boston brought Captain Williams as a passen ger bound for Omaha. Mrs. McXeal met him at the depot. Now they are living iri a cottage at 2524 Pierce street, Omaha. Lawyers said a remarriage was not necessary. The McXeal marriage, they said, was not legal, but since it was never ques tioned it passed as legal. Thexe were no children. Mrs. Williams gives the credit for their reunion to a dream. "I dreamed," she says, "that Captain "Williams came to me and told me to apply for a pen sion. I followed that advice. Instead of getting a pension I got my boy back again." Alaska's aged pioneers, the men who blazed the trails to the gold country and thought to map El Dorado, are cared for in their own home in Sitka, first capital of the territory.

FIGHT IS MADE FOR LIFE Many Pictures of Women Are Found on Walls of Apartment and Po lice Seek to Solve Mystery. NEW YORK. The police have an other murder mystery on their hands for solution. Winfield Scott Fhilhower. a skilled electrical machinist, 66 years old,, and ft. bachelor, was killed in his apartments on the first floor of 148 East Thirtieth street. The crime had been committed with a blackjack and an Oriental sabre, both of which were part of a collection of curios on which Philhower had spent much, care and money. Robbery is believed not to have been the motive for the murder. Philhower wore a diamond ring and carried a considerable sum of money, butneither was disturbed. Nor was there anything in tna apartment missing so far as could be observed. Although the police in their search of the apartment found the pictures of many women, there is nothing to in dicate that 'a woman was the cause of the tragedy. So far as friends of the murdered man - knew, he had never been involved in any affair which might have had such a denouement. Janitor Finds Body. The murder was discovered by the janitor of the" aprtment house. He noticed that the lights in the front of Philhower's aprtment burned steadily throughout yesterday morning. At noon he decided to investigate. In a rear room of the apartment the janitor came across the body of Phil hower, fully dressed and kying face upward on the floor. A heay Oriental sabre lay directly beneath" the body its fantastic markings in spots by dark stains. The sabre's empty scabbard still hung on the wall of the room where it-was found and the blade it held had often been admired by Phil hower's guests. , A short distance away the janitor found a heavy, old fashioned blackjack concealed in a rug that had been doubled over. It was also part of the murdered man's collection. Captain Casey and several men from the homicide bureau immediately set to work to unravel the mystery. There was every evidence that the murdered man had fought desperately for his life. Two lamps were overturned, pic tures were awry on the wall, rues were out of place, and portieres which had hung from a doorway were torn down. Police ITave Theory. The police believe Philhower knew his assailant. They are also of the opinion that he had no desire to have who ever was in his apartment known to outsiders. In no other way can they account for the fact that no one hea-d an outcry. As they have reconstructed the crime in their efforts to solve It, the police believe the person guilty was admitted by Philhower and that a quarrel started afterward. Philhower's manner of liv ing was such that he must have been in good physical condition, djespite his years, and the police think it likely he was having the better of the struggle when his assailant, in desperation, seized the blackjack first and the sabre afterward. Philhower was employed by the Morse Watchman's Clock Company, at 233 Broadway. He had worked there for nearly 20 years and it was under stood by his associates that he had considerable means. In his apartments, Mr. Philhower en tertained extensively. His guests, how ever, were usually men, and only a few days ago he gave a stag dinner which was attended by 15 guests. 500 LETTERS BACK DAILY DuIutU Postoffice Reports Al Sorts of Troubles. DULUTIT, Feb. ll. When a letter is' dropped into that "sanctuary of human speech," the corner mailbox. Uncle Earn is trusted to seeing that the missive reaches its destinatino. That 500 letters are returned daily through the Duluth postoffice to the senders, however, indicates a tUp-up somewhere along the route. That every month 1,000 letters do not even return to the writers but are sent to the dead letter office at Chicago is evidence of something else wrong somewhere. Among the thousands of letters that shutter their way in and out of the local office every day there is the in evitable percentage that cannot be 'put through" to the intended recip ient, xne main dittlculty experienced by the clerks, says Acting Postmaster w. b. Henry, is found in letters only partly addressed. Hundreds of letters are received every day, moreover, that are incorrectly directed. These letters are gone over by the oldest clerks in the office. They are caretuiiy cnecKed with a special gov ernment directory maintained up to the minute at the office. Ever.- effort is made to locate the recipient in Du luth and other nearby cities. If the I effort is unsuccessful, back to the sender go the letters, 500 of them every iaay. Ana it mere is no return address they mu:t be forwarded to the dead letter oriice at unicago, where they are opened and their destination determined by the contents If possible. Letters addressed in cryptic hand writing cause less trouble than those improperly directed. Clerks at the lo cal office, through "ong practice, are aDie to read almost any sort of scrawi. in case the address Is in a foreign tongue, or is undecipherable by tne torce, a special expert is put on the job and usually succeeds in clear ing up the obscurity. The number of letters delayed through promiscuous placing of stamps is considerable. Sometimes the weird location of the etamp is due to igno rance, sometimes' to the employment of a misplaced "lovers code.' In either case the letter must be thrown out of ti.e regular mail and the stamp can celed by hand, which means a delay of a da yin delivery. . ' RABBITS URGED AS FOOD Breeders' Officer Says Animals Are as Good as Chickens. MINNEAPOLIS. Rabbits fried and rabbits brojled, rabbit pie and rabbit hash! will be proper items on bills of fare ip Minneapolis restaurants and upon the unwritten menus of home din ners here thfs year. At least that is the earnest hope and anticipation of C. H. Spraguer, vice president of the Minnesota. Rabbit Breeders' association, and 60 Oother es tablished breeders in this state. "Why, a rabbit is a much greater delicacy than a chicken," Mr. Sraguer declared. "We are going to try to over come a prejudice against eating rab bits. Absolutely they are one of the cleanest animals known and they yield a white and delicate meat." About 150 exhibits of domestic-raided, standard type Belgian hares. New Zea lands, Flemish giants and other brands will be shown in connection with the Minnesota Poultry association's show at the Armory January 16 to 21, Mr. fcpraguer said. Some of these specimens will "weigh as much as 20 pounds apiece, and will be giants compared to the common ot back .yard variety of rabbits long known as children's pets." Cheapness of rabbits is extolled by mmebers of the breeders' association, who point out that these animals can be raised for from 3 to 12 cents a pound all the year round, subsisting on clean hay, clover, corn, oats, barley and vegetables. Beside "meat rabbits," rabbits for "show" 'are being raised for their furs. Chocolate Shipment Wrecked. TRIER. Prussia. A carload of choc olate billed to the American army of occupation was wrecked near Trier re cently, and several German children of families living- nearby ate such quanti ties of the sweets that doctors had to be called in to treat them. Many of the children had never tasted chocolate before, this form of candy being among the luxuries which Germany was vir tually unable to. supply during the war. and before the American salvage crews got to work the youngsters consumed their fill and then started homeward with all they could carry.
