Upton Sinclair, Fresh From
Hunger Strike,. Rejoins
"Free Silence" Pickets.
BAPTIST CHURCH GUARDED
Socialist Aks Pastor Whether Christ
Would Sustain Rockefeller, but"
Business Mectinjr Quick
ly Adjourns.
NEW YORK. May 2. May-day dem
onstrations by Socialists, Industrial
Workers of the World, anarchists and
anti-Rockefeller agitators kept the po
lice active in several parts of the city
Friday. A crowd of more than 10,000
persons poured into Union Square late
in the day after Socialist parades in
the streets. . The crowds became un
ruly and the police formed flying
wedges and cleared the square. Sev
eral persons were injured.
The "free silence" movement of pro
test against what its sponsors desig
nate as John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'B, pol
icy in the Colorado mine controversy
was continued throughout the day in
front of Mr. Rockefeller's offices at
26 Broadway.
Sinclair Decides to Pay Fine.
Upton Sinclair, author, head of the
movement, was released from the
Tombs after payment of the fine im
posed when he was arraigned Thurs
day for doing picket duty. Weak from
lack of nourishment because of his
hunger strike, Sinclair went to the
District Attorney's office to prepare an
appeal from his conviction and then
resumed his place among his crepe
sleeved followers at 26 Broadway. He
announced that the "free silence"
Picketing would be kept up as long as
the Colorado mine strike continued.
Mr. Rockefeller did not appear at his
office and it was said that he was dis
tressed by his ordeal and would remain
in seclusion in his Pocantico Hills
home in Westchester County.
Rockefeller Church Guarded.
Police last night guarded the Calvary
Baptist Church, which Mr. Rockefeller
attends. There were rumors that an
attempt would bo made to disturb the
prayer meeting'.
There was no demonstration outside
the church, but one of several Social
ists who attempted a business meeting
held after the prayer service offered a
resolution for the gathering to vote
whether they "upheld" Mr. Rockefeller.
The Socialist asked the pastor. Rev.
Cornelius Woelfkin, whether he thought
Christ would sustain Mr. Rockefeller.
The pastor did not reply but declared
the meeting had adjourned prior to the
.vote on the resolution. A police lieu
tenant advised the Socialists to leave
the church and they did so quietly. Mr.
Rockefeller conducts a Bible class each
Sunday in this church.
Anarchists Address I. w. W.s.
The gathering in Union Square was
intended by the Socialist party to be its
annual demonstration and was in
peaceful progress until after Industrial
Workers of the World and others en
tered the park. The newcomers had
held earlier meetings elsewhere, at
which Mari Ganz, Alexander Berkman,
anarchist, and others had. made
speeches replete with criticism of Mr.
Rockefeller and threatening language
directed against him.
Inscribed on the banners they flaunt
ed as they marched upon Union Square
were texts linking the Mexican crisis
with the Colorado mine war. One read:
"Huerta is ready to mediate. Rocke
feller says there is nothing to me
diate." DEMOCRATS AT BANQUET

HE Lincoln Republican Club,
through its secretary, C. R. Mo
loney, has addressed a query to
four of the five candidates for Repub
lican nominations at the primary elec
tion, who received the Prohibition nomi
nations for the same offices at the Pro
hibition county convention here last
Wednesday, asking them to say pub
licly where they stand.
The query is addressed to D. "V. Hart,
Republican candidate for County Com
missioner; H. C. Kornegay, Republican
candidate for the Legislature; Ernest
A.. Middlebrooks, Republican candidate
for County Surveyor, and Miss Lida
O'Bryon. Republican candidate for Juugn
of the District Court, Department No. 3.
"In the event that you are defeated
in the primary election of May 15 as
the Republican nominee for the office
you are seeking, will you give your
loyal support to the RepuDllcan nomi
nee, or will you let your name go be
fore the voters as a nominee for that
office on the Prohibition ticket?" 'the
four candidates are asked. "We feel
that you should make your position
clear in a public statement."
H. A. Darnall, of Lents, candidate for
the Legislature, was the fifth Repub
lican to be nominated by the Prohibi
tionists. But in a letter yesterday to
J. A. Dunbar, Prohibition county chair
man, Mr. Darnall declined the Prohibi
tion nomination. He explained that
he felt he owed it to the other Repub
lican candidates not to- continue in the
race as a Prohibition candidate if he
should not get the Republican nomina
tion. In his letter he said in part:
'I am a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination. Should I also accept
or seek the Prohibition nomination in
addition it would appear that I was
extremely anxious about the nomina
tion, which is not true. I have quite
an acquaintance in the county, and
should they see fit to give me the nomi
nation I will prize it as an honor and
will endeavor to prove myself worthy
of it. Should I appear so eager as to
take advantage of my fellow candidates
In the Republican race, it would appear
that I have other and perhaps selfish
motives. I have made no alliances with
anyone. I am opposed to the principle
of 'logrolling,' and to begin the forma
tion of alliances now would be abso
lutely in contradiction to my belief and
statements.
"I judge that the favor vou have
shown me has been due largely to the
kindly feeling you have for me as a
neighbor, as many of your committee
and delegates have come from my
neighborhood, and to your confidence
in my integrtiy. But I think considera
tion will show you that I would fail
to measure up to that standard if I
took advantage of my running mates,
were I to continue in the race after
failing to receive the nomination at the
hands of tho party under whose name
I have enlisted.
"So, T.TVrie I regret to inconvenience
you, I think it best to ask the privi
legt of declining the nomination you
have offered me."

sister ship of the Empress of Asia, the
io largest anti lastest steamships on
the Pacific, will be sent to Manila, from
Vancouver, via Yokohama, Kobe and

that these steamers will cut the time
from the Pacific Coast of North Amer
ica to Manila to 17 days, as azainst 28
days, the fastest time on any existing
schedule from any port on the Pacific
Coast.
The Empress of Russia and the Em

ength and 6S feet in breadth and have
l gross tonnage of 16.850. with a re
placement of SO. 625 tons. Thev have
developed more than 22 nautical miles
and have a seagoing speed of better
than 19 nautical miles. The Empress
of Russia has the record for the fast

the voyage in nine days and five hours.
as against nearly 11 days, the record
time of the Empress of Japan. No other
steamers on the Pacific, sailing from
ports south of Vancouver, B. C, can
approach this record by a week.
The malls which these steamers are
carrying now for the United States will
no doubt be largely lncrea&ed with the
extension of their trips in the Orient.
This move on the part of the Canadian
racltic was the result of appeals from
merchants and - business -men of Ma

Chicago and New 1 ork.
- Manila to Get Tourists.
The bringing of the United States
11 days closer to the Philippines will
mean much in the way of trade rela

on lines now out of the question. It
will also put Manila on the direct line
of the heavy tourist travel around the
world from Great Britain carried by
the Canadian Facliic.

In a brief and humorous talk Judge

Governor he declared that he would

Mr. Johns touched on the public

called attention to the fact that W. H.
Packwood, the only living member of
the constitutional convention of Oregon,
was also its only member to live to see
martial law proclaimed in the state.
"It is essential to the economic well

ton, assistant superintendent of the
Oregon Anti-Saloon League, from Secre.
tary of State Olcott, that his depart
ment had been caused much trouble by
action of circulators of prohibition pe
titions in sending signed petitions di
rect to the Secretary of State's office.
Though Mr. Olcott has returned a num
ber of these petitions to the senders,
they are showering in on him so fast
that a good many will find the waste
paper basket unless the practice ii
stopped. Circulators apparently do not
realize that their local petitions can be
accepted by the Secretary of State only
as a part of the general statewide pe
tition to put the prohibition amendment
on the ballot, which must be bound to
gether in book form. Mr. Hutton asks
that circulators send the local petitions
as fast as they are signed to Anti-Sa
loon League headquarters in the Stock
Exchange building, Portland, where
preparation of the general petition is
in hand.
Two rousing Republican rallies were
held under the auspices of the Lincoln
Republican Club Thursday night, one
at Lents and the other at Sunnyside.
At the Lents rally, C. AL Menzles,
Republican candidate for the Legisla

didacy of R. A. Booth for United States
Senator. "I think every Republican
should put his shoulder to the wheel
said Mr. Menzies, in part, "and vote
straight from R. A. Booth to Constable,
I feel that Mr. Booth can be elected
to the United States Senate by a large
vote, but it is up to the Republicans
of the state to give him their strong
est support at the general election
and in the campaign preceding it. Let
us have Republicans."
A warm tribute was paid the Lincoln
nepubllcan Club and the work it it

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. How a

Edward Dudley Kenna Pic
tures This as Outcome in
Rail Situation.
NEED OF FUNDS IS CITED
Former Head of Santa Fo Asserts
Belief $35,000,000,000 Required
in Next 25 Years Can't Be
Obtained for Railways.
CHICAGO, April 28. The railway
problem in the United States is not
that of freight rates, but the necessity
of raising $25,000,000,000 for extensions
and betterments in the next 25 years.
according to Edward Dudley Kenna, of
Chicago, former vice-president and gen
eral solicitor of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway, who has written
a book entitled "Railway Misrule."
Failing to raise the vast sum required
and Mr. Kenna doubts if it can be
obtained Government ownership is
the alternative.
Mr. Kenna points out that the rail
ways of the United States have reached
that stage of their development where
they must begin to double their facili
ties to take care of the growth of the
country in the next 25 years. New sys
tems must be built, and there must be
further development of old ones to
care for normal growth. If this work
is not done there will - be stagnation
md business depression, Mr. Kenna
declares.
Not even a small part of this sum
$25,000,000,000 can be procured, Mr.
Kenna says, unless there Is a radical
change in present methods of regulat
ing the railroads. Capital, seeing earn
ings steadily reduced by the Incongru
ous and confusing regulations made by
48 states and one Federal Government,
will not come forward.'
Safer Securities Voiced.
The investor is offered, under present
methods, only a "reasonable rate of
interest," fixed by the public, and no
guarantee that he will not lose both
principal and interest. With municipal
bonds of greater safety giving him the
same returns he Is offered by the rail
roads, the investor chooses the munici
pals, or If he desires some risk with a
chance of profits to compensate therefor,-
he purchases the bonds of rail
roads in Africa, Asia or South America
at less than par and gets a stock bon
us. He does not want American rail
road securities."
Increased freight rates will not en
courage him, because the expense of
wage increases, safety devices and the
necessities of competition brought
about by the anti-trust laws will con
tinue to grow and cat up any Increase
In rates granted.
. The need of the railway problem, Mr.
Kenna finds, is then not freight rate
increases, which cannot go far before
they are "all the traffic will bear." but
the repeal of the anti-trust law so far
as it applies to railroads. The effect of
the application of the anti-trust law to
the railroads "has been to prevent the
concentration of all traffic on the lines
best adapted to its expeditious and
economic transport and to make impos
sible enormous savings that might be
possible were the companies free to ar
range for better and less costly service
than is possible at present," he says.
Alternative, Government Ownership.
If railroad combinations are not to be
permitted, the alternative, Mr. Kenna
suggests, is Government ownership,
which he declares would not be as bad
as its opponents' try to make it appear.
Statistics pointed to as proving failure
abroad prove nothing. .he says. Those
who cite the cost of 1.41 cents for haul
ing a ton of freight per mile in Ger
many and compare it with a cost of .741
cent in the United States, do not ex
plain, he says, that the average haul In
Germany is 60 miles and In the United
States 148 miles and that the length of
the haul Is a controlling factor, as the
same terminal service must be per
formed for the short as for the long
haul.
Mr. Kenna lists 35 railroads - the
ownership of which would give the
Government control of the railroads of
the United States and shows that at
the highest price at which they have
sold since 1911 the entire issues of the
common stocks of these roads could be
bought for $4,066,000,000. The dividends
now being- paid by these roads would
give a return of $264,414,758, or per
cent on the cost. Assuming that the
Government procured funds for the
purchase by the issuance of 3Vi per
cent bonds, the deal would net the Gov
eminent $121,980,000 a year, which
could be used for improvements. Incl
dentally the Government would get
control of the anthracite mines owned
by the railroads.
There would be no need to pay stock
holders an exorbitant price for their
shares, Mr. Kenna thinks. If the Gov
ernment bought three railroads, one Ii
the Fast, one in the South and one in
the West, it couldwflx the freight and
passenger rates lory the entire country
and force the stockholders of other
roads to sell. (
