Engraving Room Demolished,
The publishers of the Denver Poet
after examining their plant follow
ing the mob's attack announced they
believed they would be able to issue
a paper from their own plant to
morrow afternoon. The engraving
Xoom was demolished.
The mob had dispersed at 1:45
A. M. from the South Denver barns
and no further trouble was expected.
A large crowd remained around the
tramway bujlding. They cave rsj
evidence of intention to cause trou
ble. Tramway company officials
announced that 200 aT..ed men were
stationed at darkened windows of
the building with orders to shoot if
the police line should give way.
Chief of Police Armstrong and
eight or ten policemen were injured,
several seriously. Five streetcars j

riously wounded at the south side
car barns at 11:15 P. M. Jast night.
They were A. G. Smith and Ralph
W. Darling, both of Denver, both
shot through the lungs, and Russell
Willishan of Salida, Colo., shot
through the neck.
Strikebreakers Are Halted.
The mob at 10:00 P. M. gathered
in front of the tramway building
where the strikebreakers are housed,
but had attempted no violence.
The rio--;ng started when two cars
manned by strikebreakers were
forced to stop by a motor truck on
the track. While the cars were
halted a parade of strikers and
sympathizers who had been con
ducting a demonstration at the city
hall while a committee from the
trades and labor assembly conferred
with the mayor reached the corner.
There were 1000 in the parade.
Fighting immediately became gen
eral and continued almost steadily
ever since in various portions of
the city.
The first two cars stopped were

gren. outlaws who led almost the en
tire male' population of Pendleton
upon a man hunt for six days and
nights, listened to services held for
them by the local Salvation Army.
Repentance was the aim of the re
ligious services, but Captain Jennie
Conrad after the services declared
that the men seemed so hardened
that she doubted whether they would
take them seriously or not. Another
service will be held Sunday and ef
forts to make the outlaws realize
their sins against society will be fur
ther continued.
All but Lindgrren were confined to
individual cells, wearing the Oregon
boot even through the services. Songs
were sung and Salvation Army work
ers pleaded with the men to make
peace with God. For the most part
the prisoners were indifferent. They
were willing to listen, however, and
the songs were the first pleasure they
have enjoyed since the jailbreak.
No. more visitors will be allowed to
see the prisoners, according to Sher
iff W. R. Taylor, who stated last
night that he thought the general
public had had sufficient chance to
view them and that the work of ex
hibiting was placing a heavy burden
on the office, which had so much
other work to do.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Aug. 5. Oregon has
population in 1920 of 783,285, which
is a gain of 110,520 or 16.4 per cent
over the 1910 figures of 672,765. It is
impossible to compare this gain with
the increase, if any, made by other
western states because Oregon is the
irst western state on which the total
as been announced.
It is not as high as the gain in the
ecade from 1900 to 1910 which was
59,229. or 62.7 per cent, but the
grjwth of the entire west for that
period was unusual. Nowhere In
the west will there be any repetition
of the population gains shown in 1910.
Oregon's rate of increase is larger
than that of Georgia or Delaware, the
only two other states whose 1920
census has been announced. Georgia's
increase was 10.9 per cent and Dela
ware's 10.2 per cent.
Oregon Ninth In Area.
Oregon in 1910, ranked as 35th
most populous state In the union. It
showed an increase of 259,229 or 62.7
per cent in the 10 years ending with
1910, having had the largest growth
numerically in its history, the num
ber Deing almost double that of any
previous decade. -
In area, Oregon ranked as ninth
largest state in the union in 1910 with
land area of 95,607 square miles.
maKing its population average 7 per
square mile.
O'egon . was. organized as terrj
loi-y in 1848 and appears in the federal
census reports for the first time in
1850. Its population then was 13.294
which includes 1201 returned from
that portion which was taken in 1853
to form Washington territory. Dur

Oregon showed a rapid growth, the
lowest rate of increase for any de
Trouble Arises Following Discov
ery of Bodies of Two Young
Slen Who AVere Murdered.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6. Five men are
reported to have been killed, many
injured and the homes of all foreign
residents fired last night and early
today in West Frankfort, 111., 104
miles from St. Louis, by a mob bent
on avenging the murder of Amiel Cal
eaterra, 19 years old, and Tony Hem
pel, 18, both of West Frankfort, whose
bodies were found near here Wednes
day. The rioting was continuing at 1
o'clock this morning.
All of the deaths resulted from
beatings administered by the mob,
which, according to reports, was driv
ing the foreign population of West
Frankfort out of town.
None of the dead were identified
but it was said that two were for
eigners and the other a photographer
from Vallier, 111., who attempted to
take pictures of the mob. According
to reports, the latter was kicked to
death and his camera demolished.
une rioting bad been in progress
since early yesterday afternoon, after
the mob, said to number more than
3000, was frustrated in attempts to
get hold 'of three suspects . held in
connection with the murder, which
authorities believe was committed on
account of information they say Cal-
caterra and Hempel had of numerous
robberies committed by an organized
band in southern Illinois.
The attack of the mob was reported
to have centered on the foreign resi
dents. One of the suspects under ar
rest, Settlno de Sesnis. a Sicilian, was
said to have acknowledged taking the
boys from West Frankfort. The other
two suspects are unidentified.
The three suspects were removed
from West Frankfort to avert possi
bility of a lynching, and it is reported
members of the mob were going
through nearby towns in Illinois in an
effort to locate them.
More than 40 foreigners were said
to have been beaten. After the riot
ing had been in progress several hours
someone set fire to the home of Ses
nls, and after that, according to re
ports, the firing of houses became
general.
Advices from towns adjacent to
West Frankfort were that the city
officials, who telegraphed for the
state militia, had been given 24 hours
to leave.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 5. A mob of
3000 in control of West Frankfort.
111., tonight is said to ' have killed
several persons, wounded 40, burned
scares of homes and . to be driving
the foreign population from the town.
Five companies of Illinois infantry
have been ordered to West Frank
fort.
The rioting started this afternoon
when two suspects were arrested ' in
connection with the murder of Amiel

Portland will be made the headquar

under consideration.
It is thought a definite announce

LONDON. Aug. S. The Russian So
viet's reply to Great Britain's call
for a halt of the bolshevik advance
Poland is a refusal, according to
the London Times. The newspaper
says the ground taken is that the
armies would not obey an order to
halt and will only be content when
they reach Warsaw, which has been
promised to them for loot.
The Times says the note was re
ceived by M. Kamaneff. a bolshevik
delegate here, Thursday night, and
will be handed Premier Lloyd George
this morning.
According to the Times the note
says the bolsheviki are entitled by
military and international law to con
tinue their advance until an armis
tice Is concluded. They are. how
ever, prepared to sign an armistice
and cease hostilities immediately the
Polish delegates return to the ap
pointed place with power to arrange
an armistice and peace.
Pole Trickery Feared.
The answer says it is felt this ac
tion s necessary because the bolshe
vik! fear that without such an un
dertaking armistice negotiations
might be prolonged merely to enable
Poland to receive reinforcements.
The answer further points out, says
the Times, that the soviet government
is prepared to offer Poland terms.
including Independence and wider
boundaries than provided In the
treaty of VersalUes.
The soviet government declares
that its delegates in London are em
powered to sign a peace with Great
Britain or any other entente power.
but that a separate peace with Poland
is insisted upon.
Wraitnet la Barred.
The soviet government repeats its
willingness to join the Proposed Lon
don conference, but refuses to agree
to the admission to it of any of Gen
erai wrangeis representatives or
other Russians fighting the soviet.
Closer approach to the soviet
armies to Warsaw is reported Ii
Wednesday's Russian official state
ment, received from Moscow today.
Occupation of Lomza and of points
on the Warsaw Bialystok railroad
and its neighborhood within 60 miles
of Warsaw is reported, as are further
advances by the boUhevik southeast
of the Polish capital.
Blockade Reaamed, Report.
The Herald, the laborite organ, says
today that tne British North sea
squadron has been ordered to the Bal-
tio sea and that instructions have
been issued to reimpose the blockade
against Rus3ia.
A statement on the Russo-Polish
situation made in the honse of com
mons today by Premier Lloyd George
showed that the report that Great
Britain had sent an ultimatum to the
soviet government in Moscow was
unfounded. It showed also that the
real situation is that the British gov
ernment is still pressing the soviet
government to conclude an armistice
with Poland on fair terms and agree
to negotiate for peace at the confer
ence proposed by the allies to be held
here.
Mr. Lloyd George was closely
pressed by questioners with a view
to obtaining assurance that Great
Britain will not become involved in
war wltn tussia without consent
parliament, but he could be,drawn no
farther than to promise a full state
ment Monday.
Britain Ready to Act.
He added the .hope that it would
not be necessary to act. but said that
the government certainly would take
action if found necessary.
Meantime news had reached Lon
don that Poland a armistice delega
tion started for Minsk to meet the
soviet and it may be assumed that
the Poles have the necessary powers
to discuss peace as demanded by the
bolsheviki.
An official statement tonight de
Clares there is no truth in the pub
lished report that large quantities o
war materials are being sent to
Poland and that the war office would
be able to send four .divisions of
troops in a few weeks.
Arthur Henderson, leader of the
laborites in the house of commons, is
seeking by a circular to the local
labor parties to rally the labor
party Into organizing demonstrations
against intervention in Russia or
supplying men or munitions to Poland.
The circular favors immediately rais
ing the blockade against Russia and
resumption of trade relations.

Messages Crging Ratification Sent
to Party Leaders and Others
at Tennessee Capital.
MARION, O.. Aug. 5. A plea that
further questions of peace and war
be decided by the nation's conscience
and not by any council of foreign
powers was voiced by Senator Hard
ing today in a talk to a Spanish war
veterans' reunion.
"Here in America," he said, "we do
not need anyone to tell us what our
obligation Is. We hold it in our own
conscience.
"I want to hold the American con
science strictly and solely American.
"I want America to play its part
in the world, but I do not want a
council of foreign powers at any
time, for any reason, to summon the
sons of America-to battle."
Transgression starts War.
It was a national spirit awakening
to the defense of American rights,
the nominee asserted, that led this
country into both the Spanish war
and the world war, and that always
could be counted on to hold the re
public secure. He added that al
though underlying considerations of
humanity had urged the United
States into both conflicts, it had re
quired a physical Infringement ot
national rights in each case to start
the flame of war.
The talk was .made In response to
the clamorous demands of the vet
erans. After his-, speech they ren
dered an old campflre song for him
and sent him away with "three cheers
for Harding."
Plea Made for Suffrage.
Senator Harding determined today
to take a more direct course in ap
pealing for ratification of suffrage in
Tennessee and sent telegrams to both
suffrage and. party leaders at Nash
ville expressing his views. To State
Senator Houck, republican state chair
man, he telegraphed that republican
legislators could "serve both party
and country" by aiding ratification.
A telegram sent last Friday to the
Harding and Coolldge club at Wash
ington. D. C, saying he was not then
ready to make such a request also was
made public. In It he declared that
before acting he wanted the informa
tion on the Tennessee situation being
collected by the national committee,
so that tie might be sure of the rea
sons actuating those opposed to rati
fication.
Machine Politic Rapped.
Organization of a Marion delegation
to the notification Saturday of t.ov
ernor Cox at Dayton was the subject
of an official statement Issued to
night by Harding headquarters. It ac
cused Cox boosters of guaranteeing
free tickets and expenses to swell the
delegation and to make a showing
"for pictures by movie machines."
The statement said the entire move
ment was characteristic of machine
politics.
In his speech at the reunion, he
said:
"I have always liked to believe
that the sons of America who went
to the relief of stricken Cuba fought
the first war for humanity in the
world. We have heard a good deal
in the last several months about war
for humanity's take, but I know, as
you do, that never before had this
republic found itself so much Im
pelled by desire to relieve suffer
ing humanity as you -relieved it in
that hort conflict.

lieves we have played our part In up
holding democracy- throughout the
world. The simple, honest truth Us
that we did not go to war until
American rights had been violated
and then we went to war to defend
American rights. If you will only

"The story of the development or
America is the story of the develop
ment of American conscience and
maintained American patriotism. In
Cuba we lowered the flag In the
same unselfish spirit in which we
raised it. In the Philippines we gave
the finest example of unselfishness
in the history of the world. While
our troops were in the Philippines
the Boxer rebellion broke out and
after it was over and China had made
Indemnity, we returned to her 8.-
000,000 of that Indemnity."
