PROTECTS STRIKEBREAKER
Latter Takes Refuge in Her House
After Shooting Union Man
Who Attacked Him in
the Street.
COLUMBUS O., Sept. 22 Frank Mood
lspaugh, a nonunion molder, thia after
noon shot and seriously -wounded George
Davis, a striking moldor, and was res
cued by the police from a mob threaten
ing lynching, which was held at bay by
a woman until- the officers arrived.
The shooting occurred near one ot the
large breweries. Moodlspaugh, who was
a strikebreaker at the Hayden Brewery,
'was attacked on the street by Davis and
an unknown companion. Moodlspaugh
drew a revolver and shot Davis. A crowd
of workmen from the brewery, attracted
Ty the shooting, threatened him and he
fled Into the home of Jesse Hazlett. near
by. Hazlett's mother ran and notified the
police, and on returning found nearly a
thousand people surrounding her home,
threatening to lynch Moodlspaugh.
While. the fugitive stood at the head of
the stairway in the house with a drawn
revolver, prepared for an attack, Mrs.
Hazlett stood on the steps with an arm
ful of big stones and threatened to stone
the first person who attempted to enter
her house. None dared molest her and
she barred the way until the police ar
rived. When Moodlspaugh was being placed In
the patrol wagon the crowd surged about
and the police were compelled to draw
their revolvers to keep the mob at bay.
Davis was taken to a hospital, where he
lies in a critical condition.
STANDARD EMPLOYES STRIKE
- Conflict at Whiting May Spread
Throughout Middle West.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22. Warfare between
the Standard Oil Company and the labor
unions of the country was begun last
night, when the Whiting, Ind., employes
of the company quit work to force their
demand for an increase in wages. The,
strike, which already threatens to tie up
the business of the big corporation in the
Middle West, is likely to assume glgantlo
proportions before it is ended. It was
predicted last night it might Involve all
the employes of the company in the coun
try. Already the Chicago labor unions are
preparing to seize the opportunity pre
sented by the Whiting strike to make
more trouble for the company. They
were wholly unprepared, because the em
ployes there were not members of a
union, but after a hasty conference last
night it was said that they would
support the men who went out and
that no one from Chicago would take
their places. Three hundred firemen em
ployed by the Standard Oil Company left
their places yesterday. More than 5000
employes who are working with the Bre
men are scheduled to leave their places
Monday morning. These . include en
gineers, skilled mechanics, - laborers and
others, the officials ot whom said last
night that they would refuse members of
the organization work when new members
might be. put to. work In place of the
strikers.
The firemen were called out because the
representatives of the Standard Oil Com
pany refused to advance wages from 2l!V4
cents an hour to 25 cents an hour, and
agree to grant to all the workmen the
eight-hour day. They also refused to rec
ognize the union.
UNION ENJOINED FOREVER
Miners Must Not Interfere With Let
ter's Ziegler Mines.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 22.Joeeph
Lelter, owner of coal mines at Ziegler,
is victor over the Miners' Union in the
contest which has been waged for nearly
two years in the United States Court for
the Southern District of Illinois over the
question of whether the Miners' Union
and 1U officers should be perpetually en
joined from interfering with the opera
tion of the mtnes at Ziegler.
Walter McClellan Allen, of this city,
master in chancery, to whom was re
ferred the question, has filed his report
and finds that William Morris, president
of the eubdistrict ot the Miners' Union,
and a number of other officers and mem
bers of the locals in that section of the
tate were guilty of violating the injunc
tion of Judge Humphrey restraining them
from Interfering with the operation of
the mines at Ziegler, and that the in
junction against them should be mads
perpetual, while he finds a number of
other defendants not guilty.
IS THERE A PUMPKIN TRUST
Sad Thoughts Aroused by High
Prices for Cow Fet'.
POHTLA2CD, Sept. 23. (To the Edi
tor.) The writer has long been con
vinced that the cost of living Is an
nually Increasing. And that, too, at a
rate which threatens to make very
plain living a necessity on the part of
people having small incomes. Hetty
Green, the richest female money-grabber
in the world, and a resident of the
United States, as may be inferred, is
authority for the statement that the
quickest way to get rich is to corner
the necessities of life. Evidently there
Is a widespread belief in Hetty's
theory. For many years past the peo
ple have cried out in-their alarm and
Indignation against trust methods,
methods which have cornered this and
tBat human necessity, thereby increas
ing the cost to the consumer ,of such
articles as kerosene, coal, lumber,
' .near, canned Broods, meats, in fact
everything for which there is a public 1
. demand.
Many of v the loudest protests have
come from the small dealers, who have
been compelled to buy at the trust
prices, such staple ..articles as they re
quired to carry on their business, thus
minimizing their own profits. The next
loudest protest has come from the pro-
ducer, "the poor, down-trodden farm
er." He, too, has had his grievance.
Next were those who still have a right
to protest the consume;. But now the
grocers have formed a combine to keep
up prKces. In this they have been fol
lowed by the producers of "garden
. sass and sich like," but the masses,
who represent the consumer, are still
. unprotected; they are fleeced by both'
the big- and little trusts, and without
recourse, since all the profits are un
loaded upon them.
Then the real sufferer from the trusts,
of course,' is the consumer. He can
form no combine with his fellow con
sumers, since there Is no further
chance for profit. He, and he alone,
must "pay the freight."
The writer recently went Into a gro
cery store to buy some foodstuff, when
his eyes fell upon a. half-dozen
scrawny, undersized, yellow cow
pumpkins. Visions of old-fashioned
pumpkin pies, "the kind that mother
used to make," back East, came up be
fore his mind, aad be resolved to pos
sess one of the golden, oblong spheres.
In a patronizing way he Inquired the
price. The groceryman without so
much as a quiver of his eyelids replied
that the price was "10 cents each." The
writer kept his 10 cents for the street
car monopoly. -He felt like rebuking
the pumpkin monopoly, for Its brazen
Insolence and greed. In retrospection
his mind went back to his boyhood
days in the Mississippi Valley, when he
went forth, ot frosty mornings in. obe
dience to a parental ukase and hauled
great loads of big, yellow pumpkins to
the barn, .to be fed in. liberal doses to
the cows and swine. His esteemed
pater would have been delighted to
have disposed of those pumpkins at 26
cents the load. But there was prao
tically no mart for them. The pump
kin mart was punk. Then, a grocery
man who would have bad the audacity
to ask one-tenth of a silver dollar for
an old yellow pumpkin would have
come under suspicion of being at least
a rod off .his trolley. Now, a measly,
runty pumpkin a cow-pumpkin, at
that Just think of It, if you are ac
customed to thinking! Why, it's enough
to make a man's blood boll, once we do
concentrate on the fact. And all this
upplshness on the part of the pump
kin, due to its unwarranted elevation
by the grocer's trust!
Is pumpkin seed higher than it used

Mrs. Acbsah IT earn.
Mrs. vAchsah Hearn, who died
this week at Harrlsburg, had lived
In Oregon for 36 years. Mrs. Hearn
was born in Hamilton County, O.,
near Cincinnati, February 10, 1838.
When she reached the age of 23
years she was married to Stephen
G. Hearn. She came to the North
west in the Fall of 1871, and set
tled at Jefferson, Or. In the year
of 1873 she moved to Santiam City,
where she resided until 18S1, when
she with her family moved back to
Jefferson. Her husband, who was
a Mexican War veteran, died at
Jefferson In 18S6. She then moved
to Harrisburg, where her sons re
side. She is survived by four chil
dren who are: Mrs. Francis D.
Murphy, of Jefferson, Mrs. Emma,
Hannigan, of Lenta, and Edw-ard J,
and Milton E. Hearn. of Harris
burg. Her body was taken to her '
old home at Jefferson . for -burial
beside her husband. .
to bet Does it take any more ground
to grow the pumpkin than formerly?
Does it need more hoeing than it used
to wasT Is more time or muscle re
quired to bring this dry-land bivalve to
a state of maturity in Oregon than In
Missouri? Oh! ye unjustifiable price
evolutions, why disgrace the good, old
fashioned pumpkin of our fathers, and
our mothers, by booming it beyond the
reach of commonality? Show us.
Sad thoughts are always melancholy
In their nature, and it is that class of
thinks that produce poets, that is,
brings them before the public eye.
While we should hate to have the pub
lic's eye upon us at all times, we do
feel constrained on account of the
pumpkin to relapse Into rhyme. With
the kind assistance of the orchestra,
we hereby let loose, as follows, to-wlt:
Alas! for the dear 61d pumpkin,
Alas! for the dear old pies,- .
That tickled us country bumpkins,
In the days of our smaller size.
How little we thought in that day 1
That when we grew old and gray
The pumpkin friend of our childhood
Would enter a state of trusthood.
And thus get high and gay.
Alas! the trusts now consume us.
As we were wont to consume,
The good, old, rich punkanus,
With its wealth of yellow bloom.
Ah! the Hetty Greens of produce,
They have us upon the hip.
And they somehow always throw us
With the same old "grapevine trip."

MUNICIPAL COURT PLACES ,-.
N BAN ON GAMES FOR DRINKS
MUNICIPAL JUDGE) CAMERON yes
terday morning decided that it Is
a violation of the law to play card
games for drinks or-,-. cigars, a.nd
the police of the city will im
mediately act on the Judgment and It
Is probable numerous arrests will fol
low. ' Judge Cameron made his decision in
the case of the city against B. J. Burns,
proprietor of a saloon at 376 Taylor street,
who was recently arrested by Acting De
tectives B. F. Smith and H. Burke. They
raided the establishment, taking into cus
tody Burns and five others, caught in a
game of "draw" poker. When the case
came up for trial last Tuesday morning
counsel for the defense admitted his cli
ents were playing poker, but' said it was
only for the drinks. Judge Cameron
startled the defendants by replying that
If It were admitted drinks were the
stakes, he thought the case complete
against them, as he felt satisfied the
Supreme Court decisions were strong on
that point.
Counsel for the defense then asked for
time in which to present authorities, and
yesterday morning waa set. When the
case was called, he arose and stated that
he had found he was wrong on the mat
ter, and was unable to present any de
cisions favorable to his clients. Judge
Cameron fined Burns J16 and the other
defendants $5 each. He said, he did not
regard the case as serious, in that pre.
vlously it had been the understanding
ROADS TO OBEY LI
No More Interstate Passes
After Beginning of 1907.
ANNUALS GOOD THIS YEAR
None Will Be Reissued, However,
and All Must Pay Fall Kates
In Cash Beginning Janu
ary 1 Next.
While the Hepburn act, prohibiting
the giving of passes, is not anything
new in railroad legislation, for at least
two prior acts withheld the right from
the railroads to give away their wares,
it is evident that the Northwestern
roads intend to observe the latest edict
of the Interstate Commerce Act to the
letter.
It is admitted by the railroads that
the Interstate Commerce act of 1887,
which prohibited discrimination be
tween shippers, would, had It been
strictly Interpreted, have stopped the
giving of passes to favored patrons of
the railroads. If there was any doubt
on this point, however, the Elkins bill,
which provided punishment for any de
parture by the railroads from the pub
lished rates, would have made It plain
that the giving of passes was illegal,
since the giving of transportation away
is as radical a departure from the pub
lished tariffs as an overcharge.
While the railroads knew these prior
acts precluded the legal use of passes,
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
as well as everyone else, ignored the
laws regarding giving of transporta
tion. The Hepburn act 1b a reiteration of
these earlier laws on the pass question,
and in addition to the other statutes it
provides that the railroads cannot re
ceive any other or different compensa
tion for transportation than money.
This Is the Interpretation the Inter
state Commerce Commission puts on
the law, and it Is the way the heads
of the Harriman roads in the North
west look at it. They will enforce it
accordingly.
After January 1, 1S07, nothing but
money will be accepted in return for
mileage over the Harriman lines when
Interstate transportation Is desired.
All other methods of paying for rides
are not allowed by the law, nor will
they be permitted by the railroads.
While the Hepburn act is in reality
In effect now, it is tacitly agreed that
until the end of the year the 1906 vint
age of annuals will be honored by rail
road officials, but after the new year,
the cold, hard cash must be forthcom
ing. W. W .Cotton, general counsel for
the Harriman vroads In the Northwest,
In discussing the attitude of the allied
roads In this state on the pass question,
said:
"It seems to be understood that an
nual passes now out will be good until
the end of the year. However, with tho
beginning of 1907, the giving of inter
state transportation- will cease on the
Harriman lines. This seems to be the
meaning of the new law, and it is the
intention to live up to it to the letter."
In order that the passenger officials
of the western roads may gain a com
plete knowledge of the requirements
of the Hepburn aot and may reach an
understanding as a basis for future ac
tion, the regular October session of the
Transcontinental Passenger Associa
tion, which was to be held In Colorado
Springs, haB been set for September 26
in Chicago. William McMurray, gen
eral passenger agent for the Harriman
lines, will leave Saturday night for the
East, and will probably be away two
weeks. Together with many other pas
senger officials of the system, he will
attend the passenger gathering.
WANT MORE TROLLEY LINES
Residents of Mount Scott District
Ask for Better Service.
Residents of the southeast district, in
cluding Woodstock, Tremont and the ter
ritory tributary to the Mount Scott car
line are working for better car service.
It is proposed to remedy the congestion
on the Mount Scott line by extending the
Woodstock road which now ends at Wood
stock, eastward something over a mile.
It is urged that this extension will take
off a considerable district that now uses
the Mount Scott railway and sent its
residents over the Woodstock line to
Portland. It is thought that this would
felve some relief, but that nothing short
of a double track and more cars on the
Mount Scott railway . will give adequate
service. There is a single line to Lents
to serve 10,000 people, and the population
Is growing. Switches have been put in,
but these only make slight improvement.
There is a wide stretch of country be
tween Woodstock and Tremont In which
people have to walk over a mile to reach
any car line. A railway built out there
would cause that section to settle up, it
is thought. Both tne Woodstock and
Mount Scott push clubs are working for
this extension, and have joint committees
