M. C. A. and T. W. C. A. today, and the
members ef the soliciting committees
took fresh , courage Id the campaign they
are waging this week to secure the nec
essary money for the new home of the
associations. The members will not ad
mit that there is any chance of failure
in the campaign to raise' the desired
1360,000, but all agree that more men
and women will have to get out this
week and solicit for the money.
They are confronted with two alter
natives: Qne to secure more solicitors.
sod the ether, failure. The word fail
ure does not appear In the vocabulary
"" of the members and consequently they
era devoting a great deal of time , that
eould baSput to actual soliciting In se
curing additional pardons to serve on
the committee. Right in the crucial
time of the campaign the members do
not find themselves soliciting money so
much aa they solicit solicitors. They
are confident that any number of per
sons would respond to the call If they
could only be made to realise the
urgency of the situation, but they aay
- agat people like to hang back until the
last minute. This condition, they amy.
cannot be allowed to drag much longer
and many business men have been
asked to attend the meeting at the as
sociation building tomorrow, that they
Vriay be initiated Into the work. Many
of these men cannot be seen owing to
the press of time, and Chairman Reed
stated that they were to consider them
selves Invited and attend tomorrow's
luncheon ,
Ho Thought of rattans.
Despite the critical situation that
confronts the members of the commit
tees, they will not own that they are
beaten.
"Why should we fail?" ashed gas.
"Portland people will never allow an
opportunity like thle .to go by. Their
loyalty to the city's Interests and their
own olvlc pride will compel them to
come In at the very last minute If their
own good reason does not compel them
to come In before. It is true thst the
situation la urgent, but so Is the new
association building, and one will not
be engulfsd by the other. There can
.he no failure in this campaign, because
the associations are part of our public
-features and to refuse to subscribe
enough money for this building right
now means to sst the city beck years.
We are not mossbacke, but progressive
rltlsene, who want to take our public
institutions with us as we progress. A
helping hand af present not only aids
In building the new home, but gives
encouragement to the men and women
who have devoted so many houra In se
curing the contributions that have
been received."

chief. During the past IS hours the grain
handlers' strike 'ias assumed an ugly
aspect. In anticipation of serious trou
ble the exporters have hired 15 armed
guards to profs -t their property end
the apprehensive strikebreakers houses
at night under the same roofs beneath
which they labor during the day. In
addition nine members of the police
force have been retailed to patrol the
docks, where a conflict is moat likely
to occur. W. J. Burns, publicity agent
for the exporters, frankly admitted to
day that he expects trouble of a seri
ous nature, which trouble, he says. Is
likely to happen at any moment. -
That the police ure of the same opin
ion as Burns Is evidenced by rather
sensational report made at midnight
last night by Patrolman Roberta and
Ellis, who are detailed to guard Mont
gomery dock No. 2 on the first relief.
The report follows verbatim:
"These seems to be considerable ac
tivity among the strikers around Mont
gomery dock No. X. The people on the
dock are alarmed. Green and red lights
were flashed from the saat slds of the
river and were answered from the west
side. Spies are numerous around the
docks and boats are often seen floating
back and forth In front of the dock, as
If m search of a chance to get under
it. A large gang waa on hand around
this dock during the early part of last
night, making threats against the peo
ple coming on the docks."
Trouble Is jajajgsjjpa
Any trouble Which comes Is expected
to srise from the interference of the
unionists with the strikebreakers. Yes
terday a carload Vf strikebreakers waa
brought from eastern Oregon, but be
fore they could be put to work all but
six of them had deserted on account of
the Importunities of the strikers. While
Business Agent Melby of the strikers
says that no greater force than "moral
suasion" wKs used to accomplish the de
sertion of the non-unionists, W. J.
Burns declares that Intimidation of tha
most flagrant sort was brought to bear.
"Tkjk strikers threatened to break
their heada and throw them into the
river,' said Burns today. "The only way
they made them quit Was by threatening
violence. It's sli nonsense to say that
tha men quit Just because they were
asked to do so. There are plenty ' of
men willing to go to work on the docks
at our price, but we esn't keep tbem on
account of these threats. If we can Just
keep the strikers away from them we
will have a full crew of grainhandlers
In no time. We propose to keep them
sway hereafter. Every dock is now
guarded. If you want to know how
closely, Just try o get In and talk to
one of the men at work. So fsr there
hss been no violence of any kind, but I
am expecting It. It may happen any
minute."
Strikers AM Jubilant.
Ths strikers are Jubilant over the
success of their system of picketing. A
stranger cannot approach one of the
grain docks without being accosted by
a union picket, who Inquires where he
Is going and why. And If the atranger
travels a little farther he will run
Into another Inquisitor In the form of
a blue-enated polioetnan or a hired
guard. When told of the accusations
of threats of violence. Business Agent
Melby sdmltted that some threats may
have been made, but Insisted that the
policy of the union waa against such
a course of sctlon. He said that many
of the strike-breakers had been per
suaded to desert by offers of work at
40 cents an 'hour, such work being fur

Berkeley. Oct. t. The beautiful
young wife of Charles A. Royer, to
whom she was married a few months ago,
learned for (he first time, when James
Ewlng charged her husband with theft
and forgery, that the man she wedded
is an ex-convict. . Royer came from
San Quentin laat sear, after serving s
sentence for steallaV government money
In San Fmnlcsco, and In Berkeley es
tablished himself ss the trusted sgent
of Ewlng, a well-known druggist. Mrs
Royer, the bride, was Miss Florence
Baron.
Society in Berkeley is startled by the
revelations concerning Royer. He was
sentenced to a term in San Quentin
three years ago. He atole thousands of
dollars from the branch postoffice he
conducted In his drug store In the
Western addition in San Francisco.
Royer la a skillful pharmacist, a man
of pleasing address and of mors, than
ordinary attainments. He oame to
Berkeley from San Quentin and won the
confidence of James Ewlng, a - mining
man, who also owns a large pharmacy
in Berkeley. -Ewtflg made frequent
tripa to his mining properties, and
gradually Royer came to have full
charge of Swing's local' buslnsss.
His status In the collese town was
that of a trusted' agent for a wealthy
operator, and In that role he met and
married Miss Florence Baron. Royer
took hta bride to the fashionable Berk
shire Inn. where luxurious apartments
were occupied by the couple. The bride
believed her husband to' be a brllllsnt
financier. Ewlng shared her opinion,
but now figures that the brilliancy of
Royer's operations has been entirely at
his expense. Swing charges thst Royer
has stolen sbout fl.COO from him by
altering the accounts and forging
checks.

Salem District Attorney Pronounces Charges
Made by Rev. Mr. Gould of Newberg as
False in Every Particular
(Spiels! Dispatch to The lesrasL)
Salem. Oct. I. The highly-sensational
Charges made In the Methodist confer
ence at Portland Saturday evening by
Rev. Mr. Gould of Newberg against
the integrity of District Attorney John
McNary of this city and Governor
Chamberlain has' created quite a furore
among citisens of this city. As a re
sult It Is possible that a libel suit will
follow. .
Mr. McNary denounces the statements
of the preacher as unqualifiedly false.
Governor Chamberlain la out of the city,
I but his private secretary says that no
charges have been preferred In the
governor's office against Mr. McNary
at an;- time.
When asked about the matter this
morning. Mr. McNary gave out the fol
lowing statement:
"Tea, I read In the Sunday Portland
Journal the venomous attack made upon
ms by Rev. Mr. Gould before the Meth
odist conference. I was greatly sur
prised and exceedingly pained on read
lag the fabricated charge, as it con
tains not one element of truth, and doea
me a great wrsng. Mr. Gould's state
ments were delivered with reckless dis
regard for the truth, too unjust, slan
derous and viciously wrong to be privil
eged to pass unnoticed, and he fois con
tinuing further I desire to challenge the
Integrity of this statement and will
abdicate my office Without the Interven
tion of the governor If one veatlge of
the complaint Is true.
Only One Violation.
"Newberg. where the Rev. Mr. Gould
resides. Is a town distinguished for Its
law-abiding cltlsens. There has only
been one esse thst hss come to my per
sonal knowledge, while district attor
ney, of any one charged with violating
ths liquor laws In Newberg or vicinity
and that was a party' by the name of
Ed. Kinney, the same esse to which
Gould referred before the Methodist
conference.
'The facts surrounding the cases
against Kinney are aa follows: Some
time List spring I was Informed that
this man Klnnsy was conducting what
he called a gallon house on the farm of
H. P. Geartn across the riser from
Newberg on the Marlon county side,
and that he had been violating the law

poenaed witnesses with s view' of Insti
tuting criminal prosecutions sgslnst
him. At the said Investigation I waa
unable to gather sufficient evidence to
justify a prosecution, and Informed Mr.
Gearln to the effect that I was satisfied
Kinney was violating the law, and re
quested that . he compel htm to abstain
from selling - liquors la any quantities,
whatever, on his premises.

- "On or about July 9 I was Informed
by Mr. Clarence Butt of Newberg that
Kinney, on July. 8, being Sunday, bad
sold liquor to George Bglln, a minor.
I ' Immediately Instituted an Investiga
tion and on July II caused Kinney to be
arrested in the Justice's court for Salem
district upon two charges. One waa for
selling, liquor on'Sunday to said Eglln.
Upon this chsrge Kinney entered a plea
of guilty and was fined by Justice Web

payment of said flae wss committed to
the county Jail of Marion county. Ths
otner charge was for selling liquor to

having no power to Impose a fine In
this case, bound the defendant over to
await the action of the circuit court,
