KI.AMATH FALLS. Or., Oct. 14.
(Special.) Scratched and torn from
wandering in the darkness through
brush and barbed wire fences and
bordering upon nervous collapse, S. H.
Wood of Kverett, Wash., vice-president
and organizer of the interna
tional union of timberworkers, today
made affidavit before an attorney here
that he was set upon in Susanville.
Cal., blindfolded and threatened with
hanc'insr by a mob of about 20 men,
taken 30 miles in an automobile and
turned loose. This happened, he says,
upon the night of October 11.
Wood will leave tomorrow for Cali
fornia to place his charges before
labor leader in San Francisco ana
before Governor Stephens and the attorney-general
at Sacramento.
Marahal Declared Lender.
He brands the city marshal of
Susanville. a lumbering center in Las
pen county, as the leader of the mob.
The officer's name is unknown to
him. His statement Is that the mar
shal placed him under arrest about 5
o'clock Monday afternoon, charging
him with being an 1. W. W. Wood
explained that he was an accredited
organizer of the timberworkers'
union and American Federation of
Labor, but the marshal refused to ex
amine tt'.s credentials and put him in
jail. He promisid to notify the
prisoner's friends, it is said, but failed
to do so. Through a passerby Wood
managed to get word to friends, who
brought an attorney. The lawyer
promised to seek a writ of habeas
corpus next day.
About 9 o'clock at night the mar
shal returned and said a hearing
would be held at once. He took Wood
a few blocks up the street, where
the mob seized him. blindfolded him
and put a rope around his neck. They
told him they were going to hang
him. They pot into four automobiles
and drove 20 miles into the country.
They stopped and held a conference.
One said. "We don't want anything
here such as happened in Washing
ton," then they turned Wood loose and
told him to "beat it." "If you ever
come back," one of the crowd warned,
"wo have a rope right here to hang
you with."
After he had walked a short dis
tance he saw two automobiles coming
toward him, sweeping the roadsides
with moving powerful searchlights.
Fearing the mob had changed its
mind he plunged through a wire fence
Into a field of sagebrush. The cars
stopped and a number of men with
pocket searchlights began to comb the
field. Wood burrowed into a sage
bush. The searching lasted for hours.
Many times men passed within a few
feet of him. As daylight approached
the man-hunters withdrew and Wood
walked until he came to a cabin where
he found a member of the timber
workers' union, Frank Sullivan, of
Sacramento, who fed him and dressed
his barbed wire cuts. He believes that
the mob turned him loose in the first
place to get rid of some of their own
members who were mistrusted to
stand for extreme measures. Then a
Picked crowd returned to find and
hang him.
Papers Kot ne-tnrned.
All of his papers and belongings
were taken from him by the marshal,
but $25 in cash was overlooked. Wood
caught a train into Lakeview. He was
too weak to walk from the station
to the hotel and spent most of Tues
day night on a bench in the station.
Wednesday he took the stage to
Klamath Falls.
"Upoi arrival in Klamath Falls,"
says Wood in the sworn statement.
"I was in a state of physical collapse.
Being unanic to want or disrobe for
bed without assistance.
"I went to su9anvWle, he said, "a
peaceful citizen on a legitimate
errand. I was arrested without war
rant or cause, my property confis
cated and my person subjected to
humiliating assault. ' will invoke the
nid of the highest authority in Cali
fornia to secure redress."

0. S. BANK SYSTEM BEST
XEff YORKER DOES XOT EX
PECT ANOTHER PAAIC,
Present Sitnation Said to Be Dne
-to Credit Demand in Excess
of Available Supply.
ROCKHrLL,. S. C., Oct. 14. The
United States has one of the best
banking systems in the world and
"under it 1 never expect to see an
other panic," George E. Roberts, vice
president of the National City bank
of New York, declared tonight in an
address before business men in which
he analyzed the credit situation.
Mr. Roberto said that the present
situation is due to the "aggregate de
mand for credit by all the industries
and all lines of business beyond tin
ability of the banking system to sup
ply." Such conditions, he added, re
sult fronv'the war; from the waste of
capital and expansion of credit during
the war.
"The restriction of credit is not re
sponsible for decline of wheat and
cotton, he asserted. "The poverty of
the world, the low buying power of
Europe and the high exchange rates
are the principal factors in the break
in these prices."
Alleged Assailant JtHned $100.
