'There was a serious clash today be tween ' troopa and strikers, in Donets, the center of the mining district, ' Car rying red flags and singing the "Mar aelllals," l,00 men paraded the streets and gathered at the 'residence of the govarnor-genenu to. demand the release of a number of traitors who bad been arrested: 'The attitude of the men.' who were ' - armed -with clubs,- became so threatening that troops were called and charged the -mob with drawn . sabers.

' ' ,; For nearly tff years ha Oregon Cen tral and Its suocessor. the Southern Pacific have used Fourth-street daily for railroad purposes without paying one cent for the privilege.

As a single example of tha freight trafflo which operates over this Una it may be said that the little hamlet of Beaverton, alone ships 10 carloads of onions a year. Within the past 19 days the company has been compelled to put on a daily freight each way In order to meet the growing business. This does not suffice, however, and an average of one extra freight a day passes over the west side division.

The Increase has been steady, unfailing week after week, and Is about per centTor tha 14 months. The percentage of increase this week aver a year ago for Philadelphia was one half of 1 per cent: for St. Louis, II per cent; for Kanaas City, 14. per cent; xor Minneapolis, T.7 per cent; for Mil waukee. 4.7 per cent; for Omaha, t.l per cent; for Los Angeles, per cent: for Seattle, 4. per eent; for Portland, 14 per cent.

The record of last week compared with the same week two years ago Is phenomenal. It shows a gain of nearly 100 per cent. ' The clearings or tnai weea in not were 11,400.000. The settlements at that time were cash as ther sre today. - Port land's bankers never have resorted to the artificial methods of some other northwestern cities to Inflate bank clearings and show . a bogus financial prosperity.

In towns where Inflated clearances are the style, the manager of the clearing-house would give the cred itor bank an order. on its debtor ror 1100,400 or 1600,004. This order would be turned Into- the next days business, paas through the clearing-house, and be come a part of the alleged clearings of that day. thus serving to Inflate the ag gregate tranaaotiona both days.

Tne limit of penalty in Imprisonment and fine is live yeara and 11,404. but that Is not all, for con viction carries with it disbarment from giving testimony in any court until tha Judgment against him Is reversed. ' Ths Indictment under which Hen dricks was prosecuted charged him with suborning George W. Hawk to commit perjury before the grand. Jury, whloh. In -January, ltOS, was Investigating tha alleged illegal fencing of government land by the Butte Creek Land, Live stock Ac Lumber company. Hendrloko was United States com missioner at ' Fossil, , Wheeler - county, and general superintendent of the cor poration under Are; la fact, owned a fifth interest In the venture. Hawk, at tbe suggestion of Hendricks, filed on - a homestead after having mads an agree ment to sell to ths company for 1144 aa soon as hs mads final proof. All expenses were ald by tbe com pany. A cabin was built, but never oc cupied, the m ei h eT clearing was son fined to the felling of four trees, the crop was a myth and Hawk merely made : a pretense of living on the claim. In 14 months Hawk proved Dp before Hen dricks, the company paying tha cost of commuting. Shortly afterward .' he deeded over the land and was paid the amount agreed-upon. -When tha grand Jury began lta Investigation- . Hawk . was subpoenaed. Hendricks told him to testify that he had taken up the land for his awn ex clusive benefit, furnished .his own money, made the necessary Improve ments, and that prior to tha time of filing ha had made no agreement to sell. ' Har k did as he was told, but broke down when questioned closely and told of his dealings with Hendricks. The result of this confession was the Indict ment .of Hendricks for subornation of perjury. , Trial xsts augai nays. Tha trial took place v before District Judge William H. Hunt. It lasted eight , days, and was strenuously contested from start to finish. Special Assistant Attocjey-Oeoeral Francis J.

Testimony In reference to elalms other than Hawk's was put In to show that Hendricks knew what was going on, and that hs had asked tother homestead ers to eommtt perjury before the grand Jury.
