THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 5, 1906. OF Workmen Begin a General Strike, but Leaders Are Divided. ALL DEPENDS ON SOLDIERS If Army Joins People or Refuses to Shoot, Russia's Straggle for Lib crty May Be Won Czar's Appeal to "Soldiers: . 6T. PETERSBURG. Aug. 4. With a general Btrike formally declared and the country apparently on the threshold of a glgantlo struggle, minor Issues fade In the background. If the strike Inaugurated today gains sufficient headway to endan. ger the life of the state. It has been vir tually decided that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch Trill be named commander of all the troops in the empire "where martial law exists," which would be tan tamount to decreeing a military dictator ship. It is possible, however, that the Government will not be driven to this ex tremity, as the Bhowing made today by the St. Petersburg proletariat was not Impressive. Ilearts Are Not In Strike. Although nearly 70,000 workmen are re ported to be out at nightfall, many of the men appear to be entering the struggle with heavy hearts. The spontaneity with which practically the entire Nation ar rayed itself against the old regime last Kail is lacking; the endurance of the peo ple has been sapped by the long strain; the sympathy of the more conservative Liberals has been alienated by fear of a revolution, and the lowest elements of the population have been organized into "black hundreds" and are ready to enter the fight on the side of the government if the signal is given. Dissensions also are rife among the leaders over the op portuneness of the battle. But these will probably be short-lived, If the response of the country shows that the nation in dorses the movement. Moscow and St. Petersburg are expected to decide the Issues. The railroads upon which the Initial success depends, al though committed, have not yet formally ordered a strike. Army's Wavering Allegiance. On the ulterior object of the proletariat leaders, which, at present Is masked, must depend the ttitude of the troops. If the military supports of the government stand up as they did at Sveaborg and Cronstadt, the leaders acknowledge that the game is lost, but even so they declare that defeat, if It forces the disaffected portion of the army to show Its colors, will only prepare the way for final victory. x The wavering of the artillerists at Cronstadt and the attitude of the major portion of the crew of the armored cruiser Bamayatazova, which remained nominally loyal and which they be lieve jwould undoubtedly have thrown its lot with the rebels if the rebels had received the expected support from the Reval fortress, they cite as being in their favor, and they are confident that, if put to a test, thousands of soldiers will refuse to Are on the peo ple and that weak spots will develop in the army where the Government least expects them. Government Welcomes Test. While the authorities are anxious, they manifest equal confidence that the army will not fail the Emperor in a crisis and that the strike will prove a failure. Indeed, the faction now in control seems to welcome an Immediate test, in the conviction that it will be able to scotch the revolution for a long time to come. The weakest point In the revolutionary armor is believed to be lack of competent leaders. Tonight brought increased excite ment throughout the industrial sec tions of the city. Although the police are reinforced by mounted patrols, in the Central districts of the city all is quiet. In the workmen's quarters, which the Associated Press correspond ent visited, there was ferment. Dra goons and Cossacks were in evidence in the principal streets and police pickets, armed with rifles, were at al most every corner. Nevertheless, the correspondent heard orators address ing crowded meetings at many places. Police in Sympathy With Reds. The police displayed open sympathy with the men, turning their backs to avoid seeing what was going on. On Basil Island the workmen have begun to close the shops and have even stopped cabs, turning the occu pants of them into the streets and in structing the drivers to return home. Searchlights from a cruiser at the Baltic Works and from the roof of the building are sweeping the Neva, and several torpedo-boats, built in the United States, are scurrying up and down the river. No collisions are re ported up to midnight. There will be no newspapers published tomorrow, ex cept the Novoe Vremya, whose men do not belong to the union. The cabmen have agreed to strike Monday. The battlecry of the strike, a "revo cation of Parliament for the purpose of elaborating a law providing for a con stituent assembly," is simply a peace ful slogan to be abandoned if the gov ernment totters, when the true colors will be run up. The members of the workmen's council, in conjunction with the radical groups of the outlawed Par liament, have made definite arrange ments to proclaim themselves a provis ional government if success crowns their efforts. Doubt if Troops Would Fire. tlve information that a conference of the chiefs of the military and secret police was held here last night at which the question whether troops will obey orders to fire "on the people was considered. The officers expressed grave doubts as to whether the soldiers, especially those of the Guard Regiments, would obey with out provocation. The revolutionists add that it was arranged that government spies shall give the necessary provocation by firing on the troops with revolvers. A proclamation was therefore prepared by TEST POWER NATION the revolutionary leaders, reciting these alleged facta and warning the workmen to be on their guard against suchiprovo cators. " M. Otiipo, who was a member of the Group of Toil in the outlawed Parliament, has been arrested at Cronstadt, and it Is stated that there Is little doubt that he participated at Oranlenbaum in the con spiracy which resulted in the uprising at Cronstadt At a meeting attended by 10,003 strikers a resolution was passed to boycott the vodka monopoly. The elecrrio lighting stations in St. Petersburg are being operated tonight by marines. BRUTAL ACTS OF MUTINEERS Beat In Officer's Face and Break Woman's Legs Executions Begin. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 4. The No voe Vremya, the only unofficial pa per to appear today, declares the na tion "seems determined to commit 'hari kari,'"" and reviews the bestiality of the mutineers at Cronstadt In their attacks upon the officers as showing what the country may expect if the mob gets the upper hand. The paper says the mu tineers tied a rope with a stone at one end around the neck of one of the offi cers and threw him into the lake, where he drowned; beat in .the face of another officer with the butt of a rifle and broke the legs of Mme. Jacobl, a sister of Col onel AJexandroff, who threw herself be- tween her brother and some sailors while the latter were forcing their way into their house and stabbed her to death with bayonets. It turns out that the servants of Colonel Alexandroft and Captain Krichinsky de livered them up to the mutineers and the servants were among the murderers who were tried by drumhead court-martial and shot. When they were offered the services of a priest, six of the men sen tenced to death refused to accept sacra ment and only expressed repentance. Af ter such evidence of the mob spirit, the Novoe Vremya' appeals to all who desire to prevent a repetition of the horrors and terrors of the revolution in France to discontinue their attitude of indifference and rally to the side of law and order. Reports of renewed firing at Cronstadt reached here this morning, but telegraph communication is cut and It Is impossible to ascertain what has occurred. A squad ron of warships arrived at Cronstadt last night and is anchored under the guns of the forts. According to the reports from Reval, the trouble there is not over. It ap pears that the crews of .the torpedo-boat Abrek and the destroyer Posioutehny, which the cruiser Pamyat Azova sum moned to join in the mutiny, ran their ships ashore and took to the woods. The loyal part of the crew of the Abrek opened the vessel's sea-cocks to prevent her from falling into the hands of the rebels. STRIVES. TO WIN HIS SOLDIERS Czar and Czarina Carry Baby Czare vitch Around Barracks. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 4. (Special.) The unusual sight of the Czar and Czarina carrying the Czarevitch around with them while visiting the barracks and talking with and embracing the troopers for the purpose of stimulating their loyalty has been witnessed within the last few days. The Imperial yacht still has steam up. The warships Azotva, Slava, Czarevitch and Bogatyr have left Revzil for Cron stadt .where they will be put out of com mission. The report Is confirmed that, when the commander of the fortress at Cronstadt, General Adelberg, ordered a steam launch to convey him personally to direct the suppression of the revolt, the crew of the battleship Emperor Alexan der II refused to allow the launch to start. They were disarmed and arrested. A number of torpedo-boats lie deserted off Papewick, near Reval. Their crews went ashore and are wandering at large. The mining vessel Terek, which was captured by mutineers, has arrived at Cronstadt. She had been abandoned by the rebels. An official message from Tiflis confirmed the report that when the Semur Regiment at Gashegar revolted on political grounds the men hanged their Adjutant and their chaplain. Then they shot the commander of the regiment and ten of their officers. Then they distributed arms to the civil populace and called upon them to fight for the Douma. In the Doner district, near Kesarkoff, the miners have flooded the shaft, caus ing millions of dollars' damage. The reg iments that were ordered to prevent this remained stationary. The Retch, a Constitutional Democratic organ, was suspended indefinitely. The government's latest step, is to threaten a suspension of gold payments. Premier Stolypin's official organ, the Ros sia, has announced that the government has the right to issue paper money with out compulsory payment , in metal, and that the government has hitherto ab stained from exercising this right, but may have recourse to it. Other journals denounce the threat of flooding the coun try with paper currency. MORE INTERESTED IN AUTOS Czar Digresses When Warned of Im pending Revolutions ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. t-"How are the roads for motoring in Saratov Prov ince?" was the remarkable question the Emperor put to Prince Nicholas Lvoff, who saw him during the negotiations with Premier Stolypin, looking to the Prince's entering a reorganized Ministry. The Prince says the Czar interrupted him in the midst of explanations of- the extreme gravity of the Russian situation with the inquiry about the chance for sport. Later the Emperor said he was certain the army was loyal to him. The Prince's story is considered most remarkable. HAMILTON H. HENDRICKS. FOUND GCILTI IN I.AND-FB.UI) TRIAL. ................................... HENDRICKS GUILTY (Continued From Page 1.) Hendricks secretary and treasurer, C. B. Zachary manager, and Clyde E. Glass bookkeeper. All this testimony can be made available in the case against the officers of the corporation, which' is scheduled to be tried immediately after the Mays case is disposed of. The latter is set for Monday, August 13. 'Watson Trial Begins Tomorrow. The case of the United States against Charles A. Watson, charged with a viola tion of section 5392, Revised Statutes, in having sworn falsely to testimony given In his final homestead proof before Uni ted States Commissioner James S. Stew art, will begin at 9:30 tomorrow morning before Judge Hunt. United States District Attorney Bristol finished his opening argument for the Government at 10:24 yesterday morning, and Judge Bennett immediately took up the line of defense before the Jury. Bris tol's address to the jury was regarded as a masterly effort, surprising even his friends by his logical conclusions. Judge Bennett spoke . until the noon hour, and resumed at 2 o'clock, quitting at precisely 3, in accordance with an agreement between himself and Heney. In opening he said: "All you have to do now Is ( to point your finger at ..a man and say. 'land fraud,' and even the Jurymen draw the conclusion that he is guilty." He referred to Jack London's etory of "The Call of the Wild," and said that the moment an Alaskan dog is wounded the others unite In pulling him to pieces. "It seems to me that feeling pervades all human nature," continued the defend ant's attorney. "To pull him down and cast an ignomy not only on him, but on every man who says a word in bis be half, seems to be the order of things at the present time, until it seems to me there is such a feeflng prevailing that an Innocent man is Just as much in dan ger of conviction as a guilty one." No Flagrant Violation, Says Bennett. "Working people like Hawk and John son," he added, "who had no homes, considered it right that they could locate the land and go somewhere else to work in order to support themselves, and the history of the titles of nearly all the lands of Eastern Oregon shows this to be GETS A YEAR'S IMPRISON MENT AND $2000 FIXE. Wlllard N. Jones. the case. There have been instances of flagrant violation of the law, but because Hawk was working in the mill and Emma Wick was waiting on the table in a ho tel, it was not expected that Hendricks should know they were not telling the truth when they appeared before him and made final proof, because they have got a right to work for wages, and they have got a right to go out and earn money enough to keep them, as it was impos sible for them to have made a living ' on the land." Judge Bennett said that Hawk had al leged that Hendricks refused to let him have any money to come to Portland and ppear before the grand jury because it might be found out, while it was in evi dence that the next day he let the two Browns have money by check, which could be traced by anybody. "Ever since the days of old Adam," he continued, "it has been the habit of man kind to say that he was tempted, and in this case it appears that the Browns and .Hawk are now .trying to put the blame on Hendricks." In closing he said that Hendricks had too much sense to try to suborn a man of such stupid characteristics as Hawk. "The world will be satisfied with your verdict, whichever way it goes," was his - v I . i p i - - i jV ; - - ' parting suggestion. "And if there is any doubt as to his guilt, the world will ap plaud you for saying there is one man in Oregon who is not guilty of crime." . . Heney Arraigns Hendricks. Francis J. Heney began the closing ar gument for the Government at 3:08 and finished at 5:09. His address was a fearful arraignment of the accused, whom he charged with having falsified the records relating to checks by having them num bered backwards so as to confuse the dates. "The checks lied, lied, lied," exclaimed Heney with his customary vehemence. "Lied like he got those poor half-dozen witnesses to appear before the grand Jury and lie. lie. lie!" Mr. Heney continued in this strain for fully two hours, in the course of which be made one of the most wonderful and complete analysis of the testimony that had been introduced ever listened to in any court. He appeared to have the tes timony of every witness at his tongue's end, and pointed out in comprehensive fashion every feature of the evidence that had a tendency to form a connecting link between the defendant and his alleged crime. Grafters the Same Everywhere. "Joe Folk tad to do with the looters of St. Louis what I have had to do with the land thieves of Oregon reach for high people," said Heney, in the course of his argument. "We go down to San Francisco and we have a man who defies everybody: Abe Ruef, the political boss; and we go up into the little town of Fossil and we have a man who is practically a king in smaller degree to the political bosses of San Francisco and St. Louis and Philadelphia, we find a man who defies the law. He has had immunity there so long that he waa not afraid to take any chance. "I know a case where two men be came involved in a dispute over t'ae corners to their land. One claimed that the surveyor's marks were on a certain tree, and this the other disputed. The bark had overgrown its trunk, but when it was cut away the marks stood out in bold relief. "Whenever a man corjfmits a crime it makes an indelible mark upon his brain, and here we find this criminal doing something that reveals his crime as readily as the marks on the tree are shown. Edmund Burke, in the Warren Hastings case, said that more crim inals are convicted on manufactured evidence than any that come into the courts." He pronounced Hendricks the great est criminal he had ever encountered. because of his ability to plan and exe cute offenses of stupendous character against the laws. For this reason he was dangerous, and should be convict ed, according to the ideas of the Gov ernment prosecutor. Judge Hunt commenced the deliv ery of his Instructions to the Jury at 5:12. finishing at 5:46. Mr. Heney expects to remain but one day in San Francisco, whence he was called suddenly on business. Mr. Bristol will conduct the Initial proceedings in the Watson case tomorrow,'. JONES AND POTTER TO JAIL Year and $2000, Six Months and $500 Respectively. Willard N. Jones and Thaddeus S. Pot ter, convicted at midnight October 15, 1905, under an Indictment returned by the Fed eral grand jury charging them Jointly with conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment of its public lands, were given their sentences by Judge Hunt in ine unuea States District Court yesterday morning. Jones received a fine of $2000, in addi tion to a term of one year at the Govern ment prison on McNeill's Island. Potter fared somewhat better, as Judge Hunt took several points into consideration, which, coupled with the fact that Francis J. Heney made a strong plea for leniency in his case, prompted his sentence of six months in the Multnomah County Jail and a fine of 500. The attorneys for both were given ten days to perfect any legal action looking to an appeal, and in the meantime Jones was required to give $8000 bail, double the amount of his former bond, while Potter was permitaed to go upon his original security. When Jones was told to stand up, he faced the court with calm demeanor, not withstanding that previously he had man ifested the deepest concern over the situa tion. Tall and well-prpportioned, with enviable features, he was easily the handsomest man in the courtroom as he stood m front of the bar of Justice. When asked if he had anything to say why sen tence should not be pronounced against him, he replied in quiet tones: "Nothing at this time." Inveigled Father's Comrades. "There is very little for me to say," said Judge Hunt, in pronouncing sentence. "I remember very well the evidence pro duced in the case where you were con victed. A distressing feature was that you, the son of a Grand Army man, should have loaned yourself to a scheme to inveigle those poor old soldiers to com mit those offenses, and I recall that you were the principal spirit of that more, ment. The judgment of this court is that you be confined for a period of one year, in the Government prison at McNeil's Island, and to pay a fine of $2000." When Potter stepped forward, S. B. Huston, of Hillsboro, who defended the condemned man, addressed the court in his behalf. The attorney stated that when the Spanish War wroke out. Potter had enlisted, following the fortunes of the valiant Second Oregon Regiment all through the Philippine campaign. Upon his return he was without funds, and Mr. Jones, whom the speaker referred to as princely in his generosity, had assisted him financially, so that whatever crime he might have committed in the matter was simply out of gratitude for the per son who had befriended him. "I don't believe that Potter got any thing or was allowed anything outside of securing a oiaim for himself," said Mr. Heney, "and what Mr. Huston has said in other respects I have learned from outside sources." Judge Hunt remarked that there was a distinction between the two defendants. "I think Mr. Potter made the mistake of carrying out the instructions of his co defendant," he said. "He, being, a law yer, should have been on his guard." The court thereupon sentenced Potter to six months in the Multnomah County Jail and to pay a fine of $500 upon receiving asssurances from the defendant that he was possessed of some funds. Land Jobbery on the Siletz. The particular offense for which the two men were convicted consisted in in ducing a large number of Grand Army men to file soldier homesteads in the Silotx Indian reservation, under agree ment to transfer the title to Jones. Ira Wade. County Clerk of Lincoln County, was tried under the same indictment, but In his case the jury returned a verdict of acquittal, the evidence not being con sidered sufficient to convict. John L. Wells, Adjutant-General of the G. A. R., was also Involved in the scheme of con spiracy, his influence being exercised in the direction of securing locators among the old soldiers. Wells confessed his share of complicity in the fraudulent un dertaking before the grand jury and was made a witness for the Government. A general shake-up in the local G. A. R. was the result of the exposures, and Wells was compelled to resign. WOODARD, CLARICE & CO.

AIDS TO THE DEAF ARTIFICIAL EYES SHE PAIS NO DEBTS Whv Bernhardt Is Refused Cross of Honor. IGNORES HER OBLIGATIONS Great Actress Devoid of Business Honor, Worst of Crimes in French Eyes Owes Paris Large Amount. CHICAGO, Aug. 4. (Special.) The Daily News Paris correspondent, giving the inside history of the refusal of the cross of the Legion of Honor to Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, says: Her financial carelessnes, which, accord ing to French standards, constitutes the greatest possible stain on a person's char acter, turns out to be the reason why the chancellory of the Legion of Honor has again refused the cross to Sarah Bernhardt. The decision is permanent. A member of the council of the order tola your correspondent this morning that the insistence of H. Briand, Minister of Pub- llo Works and Instruction, will result in a dispute that may end in the abolish ment of the order, since Socialistic as well as other opposition to it as an un democratic institution was never stronger than now. Bernhardt has never paid the slightest attention to her obligations to the City of Paris, from which she rents her thea ter. It used to pay Into the public treas ury several thousand francs annually. From a business point of view she has long been solvent. When she returned from America a few weeks ago with another moderate fortune, the city fath ers expected that she would pay some thing on account, but she went to her Summer home at Belle Isle without so much as saying "By . your leave" to the City Council. It is this carelessness that was referred to when the coveted honor was refused the actress on the ground that "she did not fulfill the conditions." 'Mme. Bernhardt has no regard for her financial liabilities," says the in formant of the Daily News correspondent. Notes, engagements and financial paper mean nothing to her. The cross of the Legion of Honor cannot be given to bank rupts or to those who are threatened with financial ruin through unbusinesslike methods. This , will be the answer the council of the order will make to Minister Briand at the next meeting, if he lnslts on decorating Bernhardt."

To insure the pay ment of the Russian loans, the bankers want to become the friends of the revo lutionists now. ROUSES PUBLIC INDIGNATION Stolypin's Refusal of Public Funeral to Hertzenstein a Blunder. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 4. (Special.) The people are indignant over the or der of the police forbidding a public fu neral for Deputy Hertzenstein, who was assassinated a few days ago. The order also forbids the utterance or writing of laudatory words concerning him, while Premier Stolypin's organ, the Rossla, continues its efforts to soil his memory. M. Stolypin on Thursday authorized the holding of the funeral in St Petersburg today and in Moscow tomorrow, but when various organizations in the latter city began preparations for a great pa rade, the Ministry telephoned that the body must be removed by 3 o'clock Fri day morning. M. Petrunkovich protested that this was an impossibility, on ac count of the lack of transportation at that early hour. M. Stolypin forbade the public funeral services altogether and the body was buried at Teriok. The Constitutional Democrats, who have hitherto been opposed to a strike, now, on account of the Hertzenstein af fair, sympathize with the strikers. DEMAND- LEADER'S RELEASE Mob of Striking Miners Dispersed by Dragoons' Charge. UZKOVKA, Aug. 4. The situation is very serious. At Donetz, the center of the mining and smelting industry, a pro cession of over 6000 strikers marched today, singing the "Marseillaise," to the residence of Governor-Geenral Hartung and demanded the release of the "trai tors" arrested at last night's meeting. Many of those in the procession (far Tied clubs. The governor-general re fused to release the prisoners, and when the processionists declined to obey a summons to disperse a detach ment of dragoons swept down on them with sabers and whips, wounding about 130 persons, some of them seriously. Wholesale arrests were made, includ ing tho leaders of the strikers. More than 23,000 miners are now on strike and 1000 of them have organ ized themselves into a military organ ization. They are armed with rifles. The governor-general today issued a proclamation announcing that attempts to destroy the mines would be severely punished and promising military pro tection to those willing to work.
