ELECTION FIGHT IN UNION. Hostilities Started by Flow o Beer and Ballets Fly. NEW YORK, Dec. C One man was se riously wounded and a score of persons have been badly bruised and beaten In a small riot that followed a meeting of the Ironworkers and Bridge'mcn's Union In this city. During the free fight, engaged In by over 200 men, many shots were fired, and one of the members, Albert Connolly, was shot In the side. He was taken to the liosnital. where it was said his wound Is serious. Policemen Bullman and Farnan were roughly handled, and more casual ties might have followed had it not been for the arrival of reinforcements. The fight is said to have started In an argument over the nomination of one of the members for president. Two tickets were put in the field. The police say one of the candidates started his campaigning at once by ordering a barrel of beer and Inviting all of the members to drink. There are about 250 members of the union, and it Is said over 200 remained to accept the invitation. Arguments ensued and Kovprftl shots were fired. When the do lice appeared, the crowd jumped upon them, and the hall was cleared only after reinforcements had been called. Connolly was found in a saloon where his friends had carried him.

ASKS FOR NEUTRALITY. to Addlckx Appeals to President Keep Out of Delaware FIsht. WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. J. Edward Ad- dicks,, of Wilmington". Del., had a brief conference today with President Roose velt about the political situation in his state.

Mr. Addlcks told the President that two United States Senators would be elected by the Delaware Legislature next month, both Republicans, and that he would be ono of them. Ho gave the Prosldent a resume of the political situation in the state, assuring him that, from his point of view, he and his friends constituted the regular Republican organization.

SAVED FROM STARVATION THEY EARNED THE MONEY Indian War Veterans Should Itc Paid Say Soldier Snmncl "Walker. GRAY'S-RIVER. Wash., Dec. G. (To the Editor. In your Issue of November 21 you publish the 'petition of the Indian War Veterans to the Oregon Legislature, and in your comments on this you seem to think there will be strong opposition to the payment of a debt that you say 13 lustlv due them. Is there a man in Oregon hd small, and I -might say so mean, as to place himself on "record 'acainst the state's paying its honest debts to those old. veterans after they have waited 47 years tor tne smau pittance of $1 45 per day? So far as the legality of the debt Is con cerned, was It not an act of the Legis lature of -.the territory, passed In good faith? When the territory became a state, surely the state assumed that debt. And as the act has never been repeaiea nor the debt paid, the State of Oregon surely is owing it yet. I think all "honest men will say so. , You say the contrary argument is that the debt is outlawed long since. Can an act of the Legislature become outlawed without being repealed? So far as the constitutional limitations are concerned, was not that a war? I. for one, served 11 months in that war, and I thought it a pretty tough war. How many of the Ore gon legislators would like to go through what we did in the bitter cold Winter of 1855-58. traveling end camping out in the snow and living on the Indians' beef cattle beef straight and no salt? And when the cattle were gone we lived .on poor, sore backed cayuses. and still no salt, as all the old boys that served under Colonel T. R. Cornelius can testify. Now. sir. if any member of tha next I.eirlslnture thinks we ought not to have our little $1 45 a day, after waiting 47 years for it, let us veterans raise a sum ana nave h n!etir taken to show our grandchil dren nn let us tell them: "TWe is the man that was not willing that your grand father- hmild he naid $1 45 a day for serv ing his- country through a bloody Indian "ar-" . it Mr. TMltor. 47 years ago wages for all kind of labor, was high. Some men left jobs where they were getting from $7 to $10 a day; farmhands were getting irom w to oAth. Miners in Jackson County left claims that brought them in from $10 to $20 a day. They did not do thl3 for fun, but because it was a time that tried men's souls. Let us hear from some of the old bos-s. Come, speak out, comrades: ' SAMUEL WALKER.

Air historical address, reviewing the history of Odd Fellowship In Oregon, and the work the order Is doing In the United States, wao delivered by C. B. Moores. a past grand master of Chemeketa Lodge. The address recited in detail the efforts that were made, beginning In 1846. to establish an Odd Fellows' Lodge In Oregon. The first dispensation, intended for the organization ofthe lodge at Oregon City, was carried to Honolulu and there used to establish Excelelor .Lodge, No. 1, the first Odd Fel lows' lodge west of the Rocky Mountains. Iri January, of 1S52, a dispensation was granted by the Grand Lodge of the United States, and by virtue thereof, EI M. Bar num, special deputy grand sire, instituted Chemeketa Lodge, No. 1. December -6, 1S52. In 1S53, Samaritan Lodge, No. 2. was organized in Portland, and in the same year Oregpn Lodge, No. 3. was instituted at Oregon City. Albany Ixdge, No. 4. was organized in 1854, and two years later these lodges formed the Oregon Grand Lodge. Chemeketa Lodge is the mother of all the early lodges in the Northwest, and upon that fact rests the historical Import ance of this anniversary. Mr. Moores address was followed by se lections by the Ariel Quartet, composed of Mrs. Hinges, Miss Huelat. Mrs. Etta Squlre-Seeley and Mrs. W.. P. Babcock. Miss Mabel Carter gave a. reading, and aflter a solo by Mrs. Hinges the closing ode wao sung and Grand Chaplain A. W. Teats pronounced the benediction. V .
