New Loyal Legion President
Predicts Status Change.
1000 ATTEND SESSION
Old-FasJiioned Fighting Organiza
tion Must Give Way to New Or
der, Declures X. I Coleman.
That the old-fashioned fighting
labor organization, which sees a per
petual confliot between the employer
and the employe, has outlived lta use
fulness, and that the need of the
hour is development of machinery
ivhich will provide for co-operation
and harmony between the proprietor
and tha worker, was the declaration
of Norman F. Coleman last night in
epeaking before a gathering of nearly
1000 members of the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen.
The occasion was the second of a
eeries of winter programmes and en
tertainments which the legion la Port
land is providing for its members and
the speech of Mr. Coleman took on
the nature of an inaugural address,
as he was recently chosen president
of the legion. The new head of the
co-operative lumber organization has
been connected with Reed college as
head of the English department for
pome years, and during the war was
educational, director for the Y. M. C
A. at Camp Lewis and In France. He
will separate himself from the local
lollcge on February 1, it has been an
nounced, to assume his duties actively
an president of the legion.
Mr. Coleman, who was introduced
to the meeting by Major P. L. Abbey,
secretary and general manager of the
legion, told of the close interest he
had had in the labor movement in the
northwest for the past 20 years. He
declared that three years or more
ago he reached the conclusion that the
old fighting labor organization as
uch had reached its erest In develop
ment and that a new movement must
take its place which would have as
its keynote harmony and co-operation.
In the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen he declared he saw
one of which both the employes and
the workers are members.
Mayor Baker was the second speak
er of the evening, and urged the mem
bers of the legion to keep their or
ganization always 100 per cent Ameri
can and to purge it of radical and bol
ehevik tendencies.
After the addresses there was a
vaudeville and musical programme,
with dancing and refreshments,
PENDLETON CUT 5 TRAINS

cial.) Pendleton is being hit hard

1. W. W. TRIAL PLANNED
Ccutralia and Montesano Lawyers
Meet Attorney-General.
MONTESANQ. . Wash.. Dec 8.
(Special.) W. It. Abel of Montesano
and C. D. Cunningham Of Centralia
were in conference today at Olympla
with the attorney-general and Prose
cuting Attorney Allen of Centralia In
regard to the trial of the I. W. W.
cases which will take place at Monte
sano early in January.
Mr. Abel and Mr. Cunningham will
be chief assistants in the trial. The
cases will be heard by Judge Wilson
of Olympia, it is stated here, though
official announcement is not yet made.
himself and the two men. The major
did not know what hotel they had
gone to. Major Newlove immediately
proceeded to the morgue, to identify
the soldier's body and take charge
of the corpse.
The police were completely at sea
concerning the crime. The disap
pearance of the soldier's companions,
and lack of data concerning his past,
made it impossible to form a good
theory of the shooting, the officers
said.
While inclined to regard the affair
as an attempted holdup, the police
also are taking into consideration
less likely possibilities that the
shooting may have been the result of
a personal grudge. The deputy cor
oner found $47.05 in the dead man's
pockets. The robber, however, had
no chance to search his victim, and
the finding of the money does not
affect the robbery theory.
Auto Stands Near By.
Patrolman Keegan and White, who
passed the scene of the murder a few
minutes before the shooting, saw an
automobile parked on Main street be
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets.
It bore a license listed in the name of
the United Drug company.
The machine was parked about
three feet from the curbing in viola
tion of the traffic ordinance and the
police stopped and looked it over. No
one was in the car. The rear license
tag was gone. The police consider It
possiDie tnat the assassin may nave
used that automobile in making his '
escape. Mr. Locke told the police
that he did not see the machine when
he accompanied the two civilians to
that corner after the shooting.
The dead soldier was about 25
years old. He had no record of his
service on his person,- although his
identification tags around his neck
bore his name and service number.
In his pockets were found ' the ad
dresses of several Portland girls, evi
dently given him by some friend at
Camp Lewis.
Two of the girls whose names' the
soldier carried were: Miss Ethel Wil
liams, 124V Burnside street, and Miss
Grace Burgerson, 340 Knott street.
Inspectors Leonard, Hellyer, Tacka-
berry and. Phillips were assigned to
the case, but this morning said they
had discovered nothing, except that
the automobile parked near the scene
of the murder had not been used by
the assasBln.

and then heard a report. At the
tound of the shot, Mr. Locke Jerked
open the front door of the house and
ran into the street. Mr. Locke did
not see the fourth man, and says that
for all he knows, the two companions
may have been the assassins. As he
went down the front steps, Mr. Locke
saw the soldier stagg-er from the line
where he and the two civilians had
been standing as though in ranks.
The soldier walked two or three steps
and fell on the Locke lawn.
The two civilians explained that

They complied with the request,
and then insisted tnat they must
catch the robber. Mr. Locke started
to accompany them, while Mrs. Locke
telephoned for the police. The pa
trol wagon, with a squad of uni
formed men and detectives, and an
interne from the Emergency hospital,
were on the scene within a few
minutes.
Papers in the dead man's pocket
Indicated that he was one of a de
tachment of three enlisted men and
three medical officers ordered yester
day to proceed from Camp Lewis to
t'orvallis. Or., to examine candidates
for the reserve officers' training corps.
The unit included a sergeant, a cor
poral, a private and three commis
sioned officers.
Major George Newlove, late of Fort
Lawton, Wash., was in command of
the detachment.
The interne found the soldier dead.
The bullet had entered the throat just
above the collar bone, severing the
jusrular vein. The man had died of in
ternal henimorrhage. Deputy Coroner
Calkins removed, the soldier's body to
the morgue.
Tha other officers were: Captain
Kigetti and Lieutenant Snider. y
Man Stranee to Officer.
The two latter officers were visiting
friends and could not be found early
this morning. Major Newlove, who
was in bed at the Portland hotel, said
he was not acquainted with the en
listed men of his detail, inasmuch as
he had just pone to Camp Lewis, and
had immediately been ordered to Cor

had taken charge of the party last
night, and had secured quarters for

yesterday.

though Professor Porta had not
made his portentious prophecy. Be
cause the judge insists upon laugh
Ins at such predictions, Collins must
spent the next SO days of his life up
where the steel bars serve as win
dows. With trembling knees and painful
countenance, Collins shambled yes

stood before the court.
"Believe me or not. Judge, but I

"During the past week or two I
have been reading where some as

I began to wonJer if it really would

"It was in my dreams last Friday

The bluecoat who found the befud

morning, completed the story.

Dinner With Senator Banks Clears
Up Misunderstanding. Although
Surprise Is Admitted.
Roy W. Ritner, candidate for presi
dent of the state senate, 1921 session,
says that he has not accused W. W.
Banks, also candidate for president
of the senate, of giving him the dou
ble cross. Senators Ritner and Banks
got together Sunday . and talked
things over and when they parted,
Mr. Ritner was still a candidate and
so was Mr. Banks, at least tentatively.
Friends of Mr. Ritner now explain
that it isn't Senator Banks who is
supposed to have performed the dou
ble-crossing. but another member of
the legislature. One angle of the sit
uation is this: A few of the hold

PORTLAKP, Dec 8. 191&. (To the Ed
itor.) An article In the Sunday Oreaonlan
contains the statement that the under
stfned has accused Senator Banks of
double-creasing blm in the contest for tha
presidency of the senate. This ! not cor

friendship which has existed between ua
The fact that after Mr. Banks had read
the aforesaid article, he called me up at
my hotel and invited me out to hia Home
for dinner (an invitation whlcn 1 i
cepted) is ample evidence that we are

It ia true that- during; the last seaslon

candidate, but I have been mixed up in
polities too Ions to construe "friendly as

I will admit that I was rather surprised
and not a little disappointed upon learn
ing that Mr. Banks was considerlns belnsj
a candidate himself, as I bad taken it for
s-ranted that he would be one of my sup.

The rift between Senator Ritner
