in the Northwest
Notice has bean served today on a
number of the Mulp-ownlpg companies
that beginning on Monday morning no
lumber will be loaded In Portland har
bor by the members of Longshoremen's
Union No. 366 for leas than 60 cents an
nour. ana unless . me companies euner
agree te the terras of the notice or some
compromise is reached at a mealing of
the central oouncll of the longshoremen's
. . anion of the northwest, which is to
be held at Seattle tomorrow a strike of
the lumber handlers of the city is Im
minent, and Portland's waterfront bust'
. ness may be more nearly brought to a
' standstill by further troubles. ,
Secretary Hall of the lpcaj union, has
been busy during the day In sending no
, tlflcatlons to the agents of thw various
companies, telling than of the de
cision of the union that the lumber
handlers must receive a raise from 40
' to to cents on Monday or all loading
will cease. The transportation compa
nies have made no answer to the local
demand. Their Inactivity la directly
due, however, to the fact that the coun
cil Is to meat in Seattle on Sunday, and
at this time it will consider a counter
proposition made to it by the steam
schooners' association for a compromise.
Upon the decision of this meeting rests
the question of whether or not the lum
ber handlers will strike on Monday.
J. A. Madaen. the Portland delegate to
the Seattle council, does not look with
alarm on the situation, however, and
says that it is simply a friendly little
argument between the lumber-handlers
and the employers. The longshoremen
have asked that they be given SO cents
- an hour for lumber loading all over the
coast. Instead of 3 cents at some points,
-SO cents at others, and 40 cents in the
'case of Portland work. The shipowners
have come back at the request with a
counter proposition which may be any-
thing from tt to 45 cents in the dlf-
farant lorllt1ni If the nmnoaltlnn
looks good to the longshoremen they
will adopt it and there will be no trou
ble ; if not, they will refuse to load lum
ber for less than their own figures, ana
will of course try to prevent others
from doing the work.
Mr. Madsen stated this morning that
If tha proposition was acceptable, or If
there was any likelihood of sn agree
ment being reached, the date of the re
quest would perhaps be extended from
Monday until after the conclusion of
the council's conference with the steam
ship -men at Seattle.

TEAMSTERS
DECID
SHIPMEN
TO DODGE
THIS PORT
Owners of Lumber
Carriers Afraid Strike
Will Tie Up Vessels
in Portland Harbor
Owners of lumber-carrying vessels
are becoming afraid that they "will run
their ships Into a trap" by coining to
Portland to load for the orient and else
where, and as a result of this fear, en
gendered by the strike, five tramp
stesmshfps have been ordered to clear
for Puget sound ports, while others are
to be added to the list.
The lumbermen Of the city have been
notified that on account of the unsettled
conditions among the waterfront work
men here, find the possibility that the
trouble will spread to other branches of
the longshoremen's union that are) now
tied up in strike, that It has been de
cided to divert a part of the lumber
fleet from Portland to Puget sound.
Following oat this determination
orders have already been sent to Ave
ships not to return to Portland until
after the labor troubles along tho
waterfront have been settled. Part of
this number are ships that have re
cently cleared from this port to the
Orient and have been ordered not to
return. Other owners have been ser
iously considering the same step and
have about decided to. make the same
order should conditions not take a turn
for the better.
The action today by the Longshore
men's Union in notifying the various
ship owners, thst they would refuse to
load any vessels with lumber on Mon
day or later for less than 60 cents an
hour will undoubtedly reault In the
loss of other lumber vessels to the har
bor, aa this action directly hacks up
one of the main contentions of the
owners.
TaOWST Wages on Bound.
In stating their case to the lumber
men the ship owners who have ordered
their vessels not to return to Portland
have made the point that the steve
dores on Puget sound are receiving 20
and SO cents an hour, the wages in
British Columbia ports being always
lower than these of either Seattle, Ta
come. Bell Ingham or Portland. It is
further stated that there Is plenty of
tonnage In the sound ports, that there
is no disturbance there, no danger of
having the vessels tlsd up and Idle for
Indefinite lengths of time by labor agi
tations and. that therefore It ia for the
beat Interests of the owners to divert
their ships from Portland and its sons'
of war.
This decision wiU be of grave im
portance to the mill men of the city,
according to the statements of ths mill
men themselves. Once the vessels are
loaded for Puget sound and start from
the Orient, it will be months before they
csn reach their destination, discharge
their cargoes and return again to Port
land, without making an Idle trip, and
thus operating at a loss to ths ownsrs.
The condition will mean, so the mill
men say, titat the lumber mills will be
badly handicapped In handling their
shipments, and that the output will
thus be limited by the disadvantageous
conditions.

FIENDISH WOMAN
TRIES TO MURDER
Mrs. Lizzie Halliday, Who Slew
Pretty Nurse Because She
Loved Her, Nearly Succeeds in
Taking Life of Another
Asylum Attendant. .
(Journal Special Berries.)
New Tbrfc, Oct 6. With seven cold
blooded murders, an eighth victim who
died from blood poisoning as the result
of a bite on the hand, and numerous at
tempts tovfelay those who trusted her,
marked in the history of Mrs. Llxsle Hal
liday, this terrible woman, now an inmate
of the violent ward of the Asylum for
Criminal insane at Matteawan, Hew
York, nearly added another victim to
her list this morning when shs suddenly
attacked an attendant with a club.
Tlmeh Intervention of other attendants
saved the lire or tne young attendant.
It was but last week that Mrs. Halli
day killed Her Seventh victim. Love for
miss rxenie wicks, a preuy nurse ai
Matteawan, waa the cause of the young
woman's death. Mrs. Halliday became
Infatuated with the nurse, who had be
friended her, and followed her about
whenever she was in the ward. When
the Insane soman learned that her fa
vorite waa to leave the asylum to enter
a New York hospital shs flew Into a
frensy and at the first opportunity slew
Miss Wicks Id the most brutal and cold
blooded manner Imaginable,
Milled With Scissors.
Pouncing upon her vlcUtn. Mrs. Halli
day bore the pretty nurse to the floor.
She seised a pair of scissors which hung
at Miss Wicks' waist and frantically
stabbed the young woman with them.
With each blow she emitted a chuckle
of delight, 'The scissors were small
and not ons of the blows reached a vital
point. The victim writhed in agony, but
the murderess wss unrelenting and ap
parently gained the greatest enjoyment
In torturing the woman who was at her
mercy. She had administered fully 200
wounds when aid came and Miss Wicks
was rescued from her clutches. Rescue
came too late, however, for although the
pretty young nurse was conscious when
found she died shortly afterward.
Prior to lift little Is known of the
history of Mra Halliday, and It Is con
sidered probable that she has many
crimes upon her list that have not been
disclosed. In list she married Paul
Halliday, a farmer who lived near Mon
tleello. Soon afterward the Halliday
home was burned and in tt perished the
Imbecile sou of the farmer. It was not
until long afterward that It waa learned
that the fiendish woman had killed the
child and fired the house to cover the
crime. .
Shortly after this shs was discovered
steeling horses near New berg and a
term in the asylum saved - her from
prison. Upon her release, four years
after the fire, she returned to her for
mer home, and the murder of her hus
band. Mrs. Margaret McQulllen. and her
daughter, Sarah Halliday, followed.
Harried Five wins.
Enough of her earlier history has
been learned to make It certain that she
was married four times before she met
Halliday and that she killed two of her
husbands and attempted to take the life
of a thfrd. Her first husband she killed
In a fit of anger. A second. Artemus
Brewer, died after a year of matrimo
nial bliss, ss a result of a beating at the
hands of his wife. The third, 3eorge
Smith, a friend of Brewer, who saw
him die. was given a owe; 0Y poisoned
tea by hta loving wife and It was only
by the utmost efforts of physicians
that his life waa savsd. While on her
wsy to Matteawan- she sdded another
victim to her list InSthe person of a
guard whom she bit upon the wrist and
who died later of blood poisoning.

Nsw York, Oct. (.Although an ar

than a week ago, when the first rumors

visit his office today, but remained in
