Ir. Mott, Southerner, Quit- In Dis
gust Wlien Oregonlan Will Not
light in -Good Old Way.'
OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash.
Ington. March It. Senator Bourne will
not be called upon to face the Irate Dr.
Mott. or North Carolina. In deadly duel
because of certain reflections which
the Senator made In a recent Interview
on North Carolinian Republican poll
tirlana. Immediately after the Senator gave
out his offensive statement. Dr. Mott.
who comes from a family of fighting
Southerners, announced he would send
his photograph to Senator Bourne and
challenge him to settle their dlffcr
encea In "the good old-fashioned way."
It happened that Dr. Mott did not have
a photograph in Washington and sent
to North Carolina to get one. There
waa two weeks' delay In getting the pho
tograph, and by the time it arrived
Dr. Mott had cooled down. In the
Interim, however, something happened
that may have brought about a change
of heart on Dr. Mott's part. One of
Senator Bourne's friends was asked If
the Senator would accept the challenge
If It came from the doctor.
"He most certainly will." was the
answer, "but. as the challenged party,
the Senator will hava the right to name
the weapons and he will prescribe that
the duel be foug'.it with a medicine
ball."
The medicine ball, known to all ath
letes. Is one weapon with which Sena
tor Bourne la familar. For two years
he has been exercising with one In the
Senate office building and has become
proficient In tossing the "Big pill'
around. Of course Dr. Mott. who la
familar only with pistols, would be at
a distinct disadvantage In any duel
with medicine balls, and rather than
engage In a farcical fight of this sort
he dec I wed to drop the whole matter.
It I declared by Ma friends that If
Bourne had bren willing to fight In the
"good i ld-faahloned way" he probably
would l ave had the opportunity.

WRECK AVERTED BY DREAM
Section Foreman Has Vision of
Washout; Finds It True.
ATLANTA, Ga.. March 16. Awaken
ing from a sleep In which he bad
dreamed that the nearby trestle on
the Southern Railroad had been washed
away, although suffering from Illness,
arose from his bed and went to South
River, six miles from here, before dawn
today, to discover that his dream Was
a reality.
The foreman found that the stream,
swollen -by heavy rains, bad carried
away a trestle spanning a 66-foot
chasm. He knew that a passenger train
from Atlanta to Columbus, Ga,, soon
was due to artlve at the opposite side
of the river, but he had no means of
reaching that point to warn the engi
neer of the danger, as the river Is
three-quarters of a mile wide.
Standing on tne bank, the man re
peatedly "hallooed ' for half an hour.
Finally he heard an answering shout,
and railed out a warning to J. F.. Dan
iel, the man who had heard him. Dan
iel flagged the train just as It neared
the brink of the stream.

NEW YORK. March . v -An attempt
to kill Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the
Court of General Sessions with a bomb
proved unsuccessful tonight. It 'was
only a defect said to bo a small ac
cumulation of dirt in the mechanism
of the Infernal machine, which the Jus
tice unsuspectingly had opened, that
saved 1. Im from probable death or cer
tain Injury. The bomb later exploded
while being examined by Inspector
Egan. of the bureau of combustibles,
seriously wounding him about the face
and hands.
Tho Intended victim of tho explosion
has received a great deal of publicity
lately In connection with tha Folk? K.
Brandt case. It was Justice RosaUky
who sentenced Brandt to a 30-year
term for the burglary of Mortimer L.
Sohlffs home In 1907, and who re
cently reversed his action. '
Bosik Is Delivered by Mail.
At a late hour tonight there had boon
no clew developed as to the Identity of
the sender of the explosive.
Tho bomb came by mall and was de
livered by a postman to Judge Ro-
salsky'a apartment on Riverside Drive
this afternoon. It was accepted by a
maid and placed on the table In Judge
Itosalsky's library to await his coming.
There ws nothing of suspicious ch:ir-
cter to the package.
Judge Rosalsky reached hla borne
and unsuspectingly began to open the
package while talking to Ma wife. He
took off the wrapper and found a
plain white pasteboard box. He took
off tho cover and the Infernal machine
waa revealed. He telephoned police
headquarters, and Egan was detailed
on tho caso. The bomb exploded while
Egan was examining It.
XlU-oslyeerlae Probably Used.
Judge Rosalsky'a apartments bear
evidence of tho force of the bomb. A
thick plate glass which covered tha
mahogany library table was ground as
fine as snow, a great dent was made
in the desk Itself, a: d the celling
directly above was punctured with
many holes larger than a man'a fist. It
Is believed the explosive used waa
nitroglycerine.
Judge Rosalsky said he had no sus
picions to express as to who had sent
the bomb. Asked If be believed that
the Brandt case had anything to do
with it, he declined to answer. When
asked about other cases he had judged
lately, he mentioned a sentence of 12
years recently Imposed on Charles
Carlessl. a forger. A few days before
Carlessl was sentenced the Judge re
ceived a letter In which the writer
threatened to blow up the court build
ing if sentence were pronounced.

Society Hostesses at Rome Tell on
Invitation Which Prelates Will
Be ' in Attendance.
ROME, March 16. (Special.) Thore
Is an unusual flutter of excitement
among the women of tha "black aris
tocracy," -as the party owning strict
allegiance to the Vatican is styled, on
account of the Pope's action In forbid
ding church dignitaries to attend so
clal functions at which the women
wear low-cut dresses of a too-pro
nounced kind.
Nature bavins bestowed beauty of
form as well as of face on some of
these women, the Inborn feminine de
sire to resort to art or absence of art
as an aid to nature resulted In cos
tumes which to Cardinal Merry del
Val's mind suggested a taint of the
original sin.
"After all," said a well-known so
ciety hostess, one of the arch offend
ers, "there is no occasion to despair,
In my Invitation cards I hoist the dan
ger signal to prepare to meet such and
juch a prelate. So shall they be fore
warned."
BERLIN WOMEN GIVE BALL
Men Are Excluded From Affair by
.Those In Charge.
BERLIN. March 16. (Special.) A
fancy dress ball from which men were
excluded took place last Saturday night
under the auspices of the Society of
Women Artists. It was a great suc
cess. A helmeted member of the fire
brigade and a male orchestra, hidden
behind palms and shrubbery, were the
only men In the hall.
Many of the leading society women
of Berlin attended. Including Princess
Henry zu Sehonalch-Carolath, the chief
patroness of the ball, the Princesses su
Wled. Solms and Hohenlobe. Countesses
von Oppersdorff, Slerstorpff, von Henc-
kel-Donnersmarck. Redern, Westphale,
Dohna and Frankenberg. It waa called
"porcelain ball." because those who
danced bad to wear costumes repre
scntlng well-known brands of china
ware;
Many of the most graceful figures
typified men. At least two dozen la
dies came as "Cavaliers of the Rose,"
In various representations of the lead
ing character in Dr. Richard Strauss's
opera. There was a charming quartet
In white and blue who called them
selves the "Wedgwood Girls." It was
2 o'clock In the morning before the ball
ended, with the universal verdict that
man Is not essential to a ball.
STOP CLACKAMAS FISHING
Commissioners Extend Closed Sea-
' son to May 1.
At the expiration of the order now
In effect, closing the Clackamas River
and Its tributaries to salmon fishing
from March 1 to May 1, the river will
again be closed to commercial fishing
under an order made by the Fish and
Game Commissioners at their meeting
yesterday. Master Fish Warden Clan
ton waa directed to have notices pre
pared to that effect.
This action is taken for the reason
that the fishermen affected number
not more than half a dozen and the
policy of the commission is to reserve
as much spawning ground as possible.
The Clackamas Is considered one of
the best spawning streams In the state.
Because the Federal Government main
tains a hatchery there was another
factor in making the Commissioners
decide to close the Btream to net fish
ermen. The Commissioners at the
meeting were. George H. Kelly, M. J.
Kinney and J. F. Hughes.
BANKS BREAK RECORDS
Cla ranees for Week in Portland
Total $15,754,693.63.
Bank clearings for the week Just
closed established a new record in the
financial history of Portland by reach
ing the Immense total of $15,754,693.63.
This Is $2,160,636.32 In excess of the
total clearings for the corresponding
week of last year and Is a gain of 16
per cent.
This remarkable record is due partly
to tax payments, but the natural and
steady gain In business helped material
ly to swell the clearings, as shown
by continued Increases prior to tax
paying time.

LONDON, March 16. (Special.) It
Is admitted on all sides that tho coal
strike situation is full of peril for the
country. The country cannot endure
the suspense much longer, it is cer
tain. A c-lels bordering on revolution
Is fast approaching.
There is no hope of settlement for
at least another week. Meanwhile
there Is the prospect of increasing In
dustrial paralysis, accompanied by hun
ger and destitution.
Cabinet Is Drafting Bill.
The Cabinet discussed today the draft
of the bill which It was hoped would
end the struggle. To frame a measure
which Parliament will pass and both
parties to the dispute accept Is re
garded as the most difficult problem
the government has undertaken since
it assumed office.
The chief difficulty lies in embody
ing in the legislation Premier Asquith's
pledge that the minimum wage bill
"should provide an adequate safeguard
for the protection of the employers."
It involves the application of compul
sion in some form. It is doubtful if
Parliament ever will pass a bill which
does not also apply coercive measures
to the men, such as shall make the
trades unions liable to damages for
breaches of agreements by their mem
bers. Labor leaders are opposed strong
ly to legislation of this kind, and the
miners' executives have announced
that they would direct the men not to
return to work until a bill is. passed
which is satisfactory to them.
Trouble Brews In Scotland. ,
While the strike thus far has been
remarkable for absence of violence.
there are Indications that another week
of enforced idleness Is likely to lead
to serious outbreaks in the Lanark
shire district. After news of the break-
ng off of negotlatons was published.
many nonunion miners returned to the
pits. They were attacked today by a
crowd of strikers. The police made
many arrests.

Pretty Maids Finally Gather Their
Courage and Carry Animals
Out of Store.
SALEM, Or., March 16. (Special.)
The flash of silken hose and dainty
shrieks from a group of milliner maids
amused a crowd of Salem residents to
day, when part of a band of sheep in
vaded Mrs. P. E. Fullerton's store on
Commercial street and caused a small
panic among the clerks.
The sheep were being driven through
the city by a farmer and, near Com
mercial and State streets, one started
onto the walk. A shepherd dog ac
companying the band barked and half
the mongrei dogs in town were at
tracted. A general dog mob followed,
which resulted in the sheep breaking
away in a game of "follow the leader."
Two of the sheep, showing nearly hu
man Intelligence, started for the of
fices of William Brown & Sons, where
the principal business is the sale of
wool. These two looked Into the win
dows of the offices for a moment and
followed the rest of the herd.
Several of the sheep started to break
into the Capital National Bank build
ing. The real trouble started at the Ful
lerton store, when a number of the
sheep rushed pell-mell Into the store,
among hatracks and carefully dis
played women's suits.
The feminine contingent in the store
shrieked and outside a motley crowd
of dogs was barking. Assisted by a
mere man the women clerks mustered
courage and picking up the sheep
bodily, carried them out to the street,
while the crowd outside "sicked" on
the dogs. Xo damapre was done.
DIMICK TO ACCEPT DEFI

to the second challenge to publicly de

March 13th inviting you to a debate
with me in Oregon City on the so-
called single tax bill to exempt per
sonal property, occupations and im
provements on land from taxes in
Clackamas County. One who knew
nothing but the reports that appeared
in The Oregonian and the Oregon City
Enterprise, of our Beaver Creek de
bate on this subject last week, would
expect you to accept this Invitation
most eagerly and might be astonished
that I should etxend It. Please let me
hear from you promptly and we will
then make arrangements for the hall.
I am registering this letter to be sure
that you receive it.

CASH BOX ON CARS TO GO
Experiment Proves Time Is Saved by
Eliminating Device.
Experiments in collecting fares from
patrons of the "pay-as-you-enter" cars
without the aid of the cash box have
proven so successful that the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company has
decided to remove the boxes from all
the cars that have been so equipped.
Hereafter passengers on the pre
payment cars will give their fares to
the conductors direct. When it Is nec
essary correct change will be given
back and the passenger will pass into
the car without stopping to drop a
nickle into the box.
This system of taking fares first was
tried on the Rose City Park and Twenty-third-street
lines and demonstrated
that time actually is saved by the ab
sence of the cash box.

HILLSVILLE, Va., March 16. One
more death, that of Juror Augustus
Fowler, who died this afternoon, has
been added to the list of fatalities of
the Allen raid on the Carroll County
Courthouse, making a revised total of
five.
There seems tonight to be no Imme
diate prospect of capturing the Aliens
and their clansmen, who escaped to th
mountains after their sanguinary visit
to aid their brother, then on trial for
a felony.
Tho reports which came from tho
mountains last nlgiit that Sidna Allon
had been captured and that his wtfo
had been killed proved erroneous to
day. Detectives who went to tho Al

Prlwonera Spirited Awny.
Floyd Allen, left wounded after tho
courtroom fight; Victor Allen and Byrd
Marian, charged with murdor in the
first degree, were spirited out of town
this afternoon, ostensibly for Fulaskl,
with the possibility that they might bo
taken to Roanoke for safe keeping.
Ten detectives went along to guaid
the fisonera.
One report today was that the Aliens
and perhaps CO of their clansmen hail
been located at Devils Dtn, In one of
the wildest parts of the Bluo Ride,
Mountains near the Virginia-North Car
olina line.
Indictments Are Found.
Respect for and confidence in proc
esses of the law have n.placed tho

JuUse Stables met today and quickly
returned indictments against Floyd Al

Allen, his sons; Sidna Allen. Friel Al
len, Wesley Edwards and Sidney Ed
wards, nephew of Floyd Allen, and B5 rd
Marian, all charging "murder. John F.
Moore was indicted for felony, the
charge being that lie assisted the Al

After the grand jury reported Judge.
Stables adjourned court until March 2C.
