McCune. a Presbyte rian missionary at Jensen, Cores, in a 1-tter printed in the issue of "the Con tinent." a Presbyterian weekly. The letter was entrusted to a return ing traveler, to be mailed to Chicago from Canada. Mr. McCune described scenes he said he and other mission aries witnessed at Sensen between March S and 10. Dr. McCune told of seeing three Jap anese soldiers seise a woman, "throw her down, luck her and strike her on the head with their guns. With a final kick they left their victim, a woman of culture and refinement, on the street, bleeding. She was attacked as she was going about her own busi ness quietly. Abases Art XarrateaV "Five soldiers came up to the North church and opened the keeper's house. They went in and knocked things about with their guns, broke a lamp and several dishes, threw down the chests and scattered the clothes. They de manded that the door of the church gate be opened. The police had ordered It to be closed Just a little before. Whu the young man ventured to say so they struck him with a gun, the third stroke knocking him to the ground. "His mother went over to see him and she was thrown back and struck to the ground with the bayoneted gun. The blood spurted out of her body and with a final kick they turned their attention to the husband and father. They slit his ear up with the bayonet and left him bruised from head to foot. All of these had care at our hos pital nearby. Rraiataare la Fatal. "'Resistance means sure death and nothing gained. Why die? Better live and await God's day of vengeance,' was the comment I heard when asked how they could endure it all without resist ing. "Among many others who have been seised, their clothes torn and their bodies beaten, was one old roan walk ing along the side of the stream that flows through Sensen. Three soldiers crabbed him, threw him about and knocked him over the ten-foot high embankment down Into the stream." Cabled dispatches relating further official reports of Corean disturbances were received here today by T. Onto, consul-general of Japan, following official reports made public by air.

In the court of Circuit Judge Morrow the city of Portland, represented by Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson, was endeavoring to bring to issue a con demnation suit against the property of Luigl liuzzelli. who owns a lot SO by SO feel and a small house near the Mar quam gulch. Attorneys Albert B. Ferrers and Joseph IL Page represent ed the defendant. The defendant waa asking S450O for his property; the city said It was worth not more than $-600. The list of 24 men on the original Jury panel soon was exhausted and there remained the necessity of calling special venires, which soon brought In 44 more men. The deputies are under orders today to attempt to get taxpayers from out side the city limits of Portland to serve on the Jury, bringing In a special venire of at least 18 men. Nearly all the Jurors who were challenged and dismissed for cause by the defense were dismissed oo the technical ground that they were taxpayers. This was within the law for there is a ruling of the supreme court that the fact that a man is a taxpayer and may be called upon to pay a small portion of the money the city gives the man whose property Is con demned would make sufficient cause for dismissal, on the possibility that he would be prejudiced and give the de fendant too small an amount.

SAX FRANCISCO, April IB. Hope that the principles of anarchy and bol shevlsm that now sway portions of the world will not get a dominant foothold In America, but that the "golden rule" eventually shall prevail here and else where, was expressed by Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle in a speech here to night before a mass meeting in the civic auditorium. The meeting was called by friends of Mayor Hanson to hear his lecture oil "Americanism Versus Bolshevism." Referring to bolshevism, he said: "Now this doctrine, alluring to the ignorant, full of sweet promises and hope on the surface to humankind, has invaded many other countries of the world, and here In this land, dedicated to equality of opportunity, we find that a propaganda is being carefully spread, teaching the necessity of the overthrow of this government and the abolition of private property, of the overthrow of law and order and of the confiscation of honestly-earned and saved competen cies and advocating the turning over the government to those who talk the loudest; promise the most and do the least." Commenting; on American citizenship, be said: "A man who will not leave his party for the good of bis country should be forced to leave the country for the good of all parties." He urged the government and state to do everything possible In the way of public work at this time. hood of 11000 was signed up for by volunteer subscribers this afternoon. This is in addition to 11000 pledged last week.

Hurt was caught un der a tractor which overturned and crushed to death on the Mrs. John John ston place, west of Woodburn, this morning. He was in the employ of F. J. Kinns and had started the tractor to plow. Coming to a big ditch, he at tached a pole to the tractor, ay mis take he chained the rear wheels in stead of the front. When he began the ascent, the wheels locked ana tne tractor was thrown backward, pinning the driver to the ground. Jack Johnston was the only witness to the accident. He immediately usea his great strength and lifted the tractor slightly, but, as no one was present to pull Mr. Hurt out. Mr. Johnson became exhausted and allowed the tractor to i fall down upon the man, who had re ceived his death blow when the ma chine first struck him.
