ALBANY, Or, Aug.' 30. (Special.)
Born a slave. Mrs. Amanda Johnson,
of this city, not only has enjoyed free
dom for 60 years, but today, on her
80th birthday, became a duly qualified
voter with all of the rights of citizen
ship. The adoption of women's suf
frage in Oregon last. Fall paved the
way for this result and she registered
as a Republican voter today.

Johnson has lived in and near Albany
continuously for 60 years. Her friends
are many. She was born lm Liberty,
Clay County. Mo., August 30, 1833.
Her life has been eventful. The old
Southern custom of a family giving to
a daughter upon her marriage a little
colored girl aa a personal attendant,
and the feeling In the South against
liberated negroes before tbe war, were
the potent factors in Mrs. Johnson's
long trip across the plains to Oregon
in pioneer days.
A daughter of the family on whose
place she was born was married when
Mrs. Johnson was seven years old and
she was given to this daughter aa a
wedding present.

after the Philadelphia club had failed
to move from a section in the center
field bleachers spectators who, the New

vision of batsmen.
Police prevented sertous trouble in
the grounds, but they had some diffi
culty In getting the New York play
ers and Umpires Brennan and Eason
safely to the North Philadelphia sta
tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad, four
blocks from tbe ball park.
P layers Showered With Stones.
Several persons attempted to attack
Manager McGraw, but" a policeman
drew a revolver and kept the crowd
back. One man was arrested for Inter
fering with the officer. Umpires Bren
nan and Eason were escorted up an
other street by a dozen policemen and
when nearing the station were assailed
by a shower of stones and other mis
siles. The players and the umpires
reached the station from different di
rections about the same time. Police
men escorting the Hew Yorkers, seeing
the attack on their' brother officers,
went to their rescue and the crowd that
formed instantly rushed forward and
attacked McGraw and his men.
One of the players, said to have
been Shafer. was reported to have been
struck by a brick. The crowd also
pressed in on the umpires and the po
lice say Brennan was struck and almost
knocked down. Once Inside the station,

kle In the ninth, had been retired. Man
ager McGraw complained to Umpire
Brennan that spectators waving their
straw hats in the center field bleach
ers reflected the sun's rays Into the
eyes of tbe batsmen. Umpire Brennan
appealed to Captain Doolan, of the Fhll
adelhpla team, to have the spectators
moved away from the center field sec
tion. Doolan consulted Manager Dooln,
who had previously been banished to
the bench. Dooln said he could do
nothing, and then the police were called
on. None of the crowd, which filled
every part of the park, was on the play
ing field, but it was requested that
those occupying seats directly In line
with the pitchers and batsmen move
to some other place. There was little
space to move to, and the spectators,
who had been there almost from the
start of the game, would not budge.
McGraw Refuses to Continue.
After a long consultation the game
waa forfeited. Manager Dooln said that

Jerome Turns Tables
and Gets Writ.
LAWYERS MUCH SURPRISED
Sudden Change in Plans. Fol
lows Return of Judge.
PROSECUTOR IS HOPEFUL
Rural Chief of Police, Persuaded
He Will Be Liable for Damages,
Made Useful by Attorneys
for evf fork State.
SHERBROOKE, Quebec, Aug. 30.
Harry K. Thaw's favorite, though in
effective, weapon In the New York
courts the writ of habeas corpus
was turned against blm today by his
old prosecutor, William Travers
Jerome, as a means cf forcing Thaw
Into court here next Tuesday in order
that the Immigration authorities may
deport him to Vermont In what Jerome
hopea will be the first leg of the re
turn to Matteawan asylum. Tonight,
satisfied with his work, Jerome left
for Quebec to spend Sunday. He was
accompanied by Franklin Kennedy.
Deputy Attorney-General of New York.
John Boudreau. the rural Chief of
Police at Coaticook, Thaw's proud cap
tor after he bad crossed the Canadian
frontier, waa the fulcrum used by
Jerome and his Canadian lawyers In
obtaining the writ. The Chief was
persuaded that Thaw's detention In the
Sherbrooke jail, on a defective com
mitment, might result in a damage
suit tor false arrest, so he petitioned
Superior Judge Matthew Hutchinson
to have tbe prisoner produced in court
. Case to Be Heard Taewday.
Judge Hutchinson, at first loath to
disturb the status of the case. Thaw
having been remanded to jail for an
Indefinite term by a brother Judge.'Ar
thur Globensky, finally consented to
hear argument on the writ at 10 A. M.
Tuesday, when Thaw's lawyers will
have an opportunity to oppose it.
If the writ Is sustained Thaw will
be turned over to the Immigration of
ficers at once, taken to Coaticook for
hearing and doubtless thrust across
the Vermont border, there to be seized
by deputy Sheriffs acting for New York
State, on the warrant charging him
with conspiring with Howard Barnum,
tbe Matteawan guard, and others to
escape.
Plaas Changed Snddealv.
Jerome's coup waa made possible by
the sudden return here of Judge Hutch
inson, who had been In Maine on his
vacation. By the merest chance
Samuel Jacobs, chief counsel for the
New York Interests, waa apprised of
his return and made a dash back to
Sherbrooke after leaping from a. train
bound for Montreal. The Immigra
tion authorities, also bound thither, re
turned on the next train and waited
about the courthouse-today in the hope
that the bearing on tbe habeas corpus
writ would be held at once.
ThaWs lawyers were taken complete
ly by surprise. Only two of them,
Charlea D. White and Harry Fraser,
were In Sherbrooke. There was talk
of bringing the chief counsel. J. N.
Greenshlelds, of Montreal, here by spe
cial train, but he was cruising on his
yacht in the St. Lawrence River, and
could not be reached until tonight. He
will be here tomorrow. The second
In command, W. K. McKeown, ,rrlved
from Montreal this 'afternoon, after the
writ bad been granted.
We do not think this move will

GIRL BRAVES FIRE
AND SAVES HOME
SPOKAVfc LASSIE IS PRAISES BY
FIREMEN.
Sending Xelghbors to Sound Alarm,
She Climbs Iadder and Gets
Flames Under Control.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 10. (Spe
cial.) Climbing up a ladder through
flames and smoke to a point where she
could better fight a fire that for a
time threatened to destroy the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Lollar,
1425 Tenth avenue, little Elisabeth
Lollar this afternoon proved herself a
heroine and at the same time saved the
family home.
The girl discovered the fire after it
had gained startling . headway. After
sending neighbors to turn In the alarm.
she hoisted a ladder to the roof of the
residence and turned the garden hose
On full force.
For a time It seemed as If the stream
was not large enough to check the
flames, but the plucky maid refused
to retreat before the heat and smoke.
and by tbe time the fire, department
arrived had the fire under control and
nearly checked.
Assistant Fire Chief William Joyce
arrived in his machine in time to see
the young fire-fighter at work on top
of the ladder, and the manner In which
he praised the girl left no doubt as to
his admiration for her bravery.
' "Why. here she was at the top of the
ladder Just as cool aa any fireman you
ever saw In your life," said Joyce on
his return to the station. '
LANTERNS LEAD FIREMEN
Fog So Thick in Tacoma Engine
Reaches Blaze Too Late.
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 30. (Special.)
Tacoma firemen had to send men
ahead with lanterns at 4:30 this morn
ing to find tbe way for the apparatus
to locate a burning house at 6612 South
Prospect street, so thick was the fog.
The location is in the suburbs and the
fog was so dense the lire apparatus
dared not attempt any speed, and the
men could hardly tell one street from
another. The delay resulted in tbe de
partment getting on the scene so late
the house waa practically destroyed
with a loss of 15000.
The house was owned by Jesse N.
Travers, who Is In a Seattle tubercu
losis hospital. Mrs. Travers and two
children were asleep In the house, but
escaped safely.
DOCTOR'S RADIUM STOLEN
Only Particle of Precious Product In
Western Canada Xeeded.
VANCOUVER, bT"c, Aug. JO. The
only particle of radium in Western
Canada was stolen tonight from Dr.
DeVerteuil, a medical practitioner, who
after treating a patient In his consult
ing room left the drawer containing
the radium open while he left the room
for a moment with his patient.
Entrance must have been gained dur
ing the doctor's momentary absence
and the radium, which is worth 11500,
and which Is quite dangerous to handle,
abstracted. The patient who is being
treated will die unless the radium is
returned, for he is suffering from can
cer, which will only yield to radium
treatment.

SHERIFF FOUND EFFICIENT
Attorney-General Registers to Vote
at Roseburg, bat Refuses to Be
Interviewed Regarding His As
pirations for Governorship.
ROSEBURG. Or, Aug. 30. (Special.)
That the report of Attorney-General
Crawford, following a two weeks' in
vestigation of the deportation of Dr.
Leach, Socialist editor at Bandon, by a
number of citizens of Coos County a
few weeks ago, will in no way endan
ger the Coos County officers or those
participating in the proceedings was
strongly Intimated by tin; Attorney
General here today. y
"The people of Coos County, especial
ly those employed In the logging
camps and mills, are contented with
conditions aa they exist." said the Attorney-General,
"and I doubt if better
paid men can be found anywhere in the
state.- I Interviewed several of them
during my Investigations, and In every
Instance the men said they were work
ing under the best of conditions.
"In fact, I found the lowest wages
paid Is $1.25 a day. while many of
the mlllmen and loggers receives as
high as f 4.60 a day. The meals, the log
gers declare, are good and wholesome,
while the bunkhouses are clean and
sanitary.
"While It has been advertised that
those In charge of the deportation of
Leach -were prominent residents of Coos
County, I found that a majority of the
loggers and. mlllmen sympahtlzed with
the move to deport Leach" and other
L W. W. disturbers.
"As a whole, the loggers are content
ed and appear to resent tbe invasion of
agitators in the camps.
"A report to the effect that Al Powers
was at the head of the deportation cere
monies I found to be Incorrect. Pow
ers, so I was Informed, was net even
In Marshfield or Bandon at the time the
trouble occurred.
"As to Sheriff Gage, I found some evi
dence to indicate he knew of the threat,
ened deportation, while ether testimony
was to the effect that he was ignorant
of the facts until it waa too late to act.
From what I could learn regarding
Sheriff Gage, he Is a fearless and effi
cient officer and Is seldom found lack
ing in bis official capacity.
The Attorney-General probably will
file his formal report with the Govern
nor Tuesday.
During their stay here today Attorney-General
and Mrs. Crawford took
occasion to register. Although living
at Salem, they recognize Roseburg as
their legal residence.
