Anti-Saloon League 'Men .Think

ATTACKED LAST NIGHT
ON HIS WAY TO CHURCH
Dr. Clarence True Wilson Says That
Asssssins Followed Rader From
' Portland to Salem snd Shadowed
. HimSaloon men Say Story of At
tack Is a Fake. -
What la thought to have been an at-
tempt to' assassinate Paul Rader. state
superintendent of . ,the . Anti-Saloon
league, at Salem last night, by two un- ,
known men, la believed by members of '
the league to have been the result of' a
conspiracy on the part of the aaloon .
element summarily to dispose of Mr. -Rader
and possibly others who are ac
tive In the fight against the liquor
traffic in Oregon.
According to Information received by
telephone by the family of Mr. Rader
and members of the league, the asaassla
attempted - to drive a knife into tbe at- .
torney'a heart as he walked along the ,
street on his way to church. One as
sailant etruck Mr. Rader a blow in -the
back' of the head, shouting aa he did so, -"Take
that for your stoolplgeon work!" ,,
At the sams time the accomplice drove
his knife toward Mr. Radar's heart. The
knife would doubtless have found Hs
mark had It not been that the blade
struck a leather cardcase containing a '
dosen personal cards snd the force be
hind it waa not sufficient to carry it "
through them.
Aa the aasassln withdrew the blade he
dragged It across the - back of Mr.
Radar's left hand, it ia reported, cutting
a long wound that had to be sewed up
by a physician. Mr. Rader gave battle
to has assailants snd succeeded in'
catching the man with the knlfo, but
tripped end fell and lost hla hold. Both
men escaped. . .
See Conspiracy.
Members of the Anti-Saloon league
and of the various churches lu the city
are in a furore of excitement alnce a
telephone ' message waa received from
Mr.' Rader last night informing his fam
ily of the attempt upon hla life. l)r.
Clarence True Wljson, president of the
league, and other members declare It
their belief that a conspiracy exists '
among the liquor element to dispose of
Mr. Rader because of his work against
the saloons, and they say they fear the
conspiracy may sxtend still further and
contemplate violence against ministers
and members of the league who - have
been active In tbe war or reform.
The police have been appealed to for '
protection for those who might be
marked aa victims of the alleged coo-
piracy and the authorities in Portland
and Salem hav been urged to put forth
every effort to capture the men who
aasaulted Mr. Rader. Captain Bruin of
the local police force haa detailed spe- ,
clal detectives to Investigate the matter
and to attempt to arrest the assailants,
both of whom are believed to have fol
lowed him to Salem from Portland.
Saloon, Kea Deny It,
The saloon men, through ths secre
tary of their organisation, laugh at the
story of Mr. Rader and the belief that
there Is any conspiracy among them to
use violence egalnst any member of the ,
league. . They boldly declare Mr. Ra
der story of the stuck upon himself ' -to
be a fake. -
Seder's Story of Jasaaalt.
According to the statement which
Mr. Rader made by telephone) te his
family In Portland last night after the
attack upon him, he arrived In Salem In
tbe afternoon and went to the home of
his brother. At about :10 p. m. he left '
the house and started for the church
where he was to conduct a meeting. As
lie passed a dark alley. two men stepped
up behind him snd one ' of them ac
costed him by asking where the depot
was. ' Mr. Rader stopped to get hla
bearings'. then raised his umbrella to
point In the direction of the station. At
that moment one of the men etruck him
a blow In the back of hla head, shout
ing In his ear: '
"Take ' that for your stoolplgeon
work."
At the same moment the ether man .
struck et Mr. Rsder with- a long knife.
The anti-ealoon man quickly raised his
left arm to protect himself, bat the .
blade aank through, hla eoat and half
through the leather cardcase la hie vest
pocket Just above hla heart In with
drawing the blade, Mr. Radar saye. It
waa dragged across the back of hla.
hand cutting a wound eleer serosa. -
Chased Mis AasaOaaea, ,.
' Both men started . to ran and Mr."
Rader gave chase. ' He overtook the -man
who wielded the knife and had '
seised hie coat tails, it Is said, but
tripped over the root of ea old tree :
and fell, losing his hold. Both men
then made their escape and Mr. Rader
went to a doctor's house to 'have the
wound on hie hand dressed.
Dr. Wilson, who wss notified ef the
affair Immediately after Mr. Rader
telephoned to hie family, and was given
the details of the matter, says there la
ae question but that the men followed
Mr. Rader from Portland and were
simply carrying eut a conspiracy to deal
violently with the superintendent of the
league. . ' '
