The Holladay team was third. The teams lined up for the start at Oregon City -at: 1Z:Z0,? more than an hour later than scheduled, owing to an accident to the Y. M. C.

SUBJECT OF DEBATE 31cAlIister arid Duniway Ar gue, but McGarry Fails i to Appear. Before a crowded house at an open meeting of the Federated Trades coun cil held In Bartender's hall last night E. S. J. McAllister and Ralph R. Duni way debated the single tax amendment . to the State constitution to be voted on the June election. Mr. McAllister opened the debate with a viarorous defense of the land tax theory, saying that lie was opposed to the taxation of personal property for the reason that among Anglo-Saxon peo ples no system had ever been devised by which such a tax could be Justly im posed and collected and for the further reason that It incites-to perjury and fail in its purpose in that those who are most able to bear the burden of tax ation largely escape and those who arc least able to pay are compelled to bear the bulk of the tax burden. The speaker quoted from a recent issue or tne new York World as follows: "The annual invitation to perjury Is repeated this year in tne usual farcical manner. Last year thai tentative per sonal ' assessment was 13.492.015.682 nine tenths of this was sword 'off and the most of the other tenth wad indis criminately assessed and is represented ' by revenue bonds instead of taxes. The three men who own the Dubllo fran chises of New Tork city do not appear on tne personal tax roil at an. xnomas F. Ryan retains a legal residence In Vir ginia, Antnony n. Brady in Albany .and Auarust Belmont out on I-ionar Island. James Stillman Is assessed for $100,- 000, alt of the .Rockefellers for less than $8,000,000 and' J. Plerpont-Morgan for 1400,000. Andrew Carnegie Is assessed for 15.000.000. although he owns S300. 000,000 8 per cent streel trust bonds, not to mention otner personal property. Mr. McAllister declared that the amendment proposed Is a step in the direction of single tax and would do much to liberate labor and make it free and possible for . the laborer to reap the full products of bis toll. In replying Mr. Duniway eould see no good in the proposed amendment. He said that It was crudely drawn and that Its adoption ' would be disastrous. He predicted that if it were adopted In a few-years the men who were responni- bie lor its carrying wouia be utterly discredited. '' t ;, . Other speakers were H. W. Stone, ' secretary or tne r. m. u. a., wno ad' vocated nrohibition and John A. Gold rainer, , who favored the . temperate use of Intoxicants. Mr. Stone denounced the saloon as a law breaker and the refuge or criminals. s Mr. Ooldralner thought that the real cause of Intemperance lay. in the in dustrial system. He insisted and sought to prove that an improvement in the conditions of labor would be followed bt a decrease In intemperance. - The debate scheduled to take place between W. 8. URen and W. R. Mo- Garry on the '"recall" did not take place on account of the failure or Me- Garry to appear, nr. irRen was given a few minutes to explain the measure. SCARES HOLDUP MAN WITH TOBACCO-CUTTER An attempted holdup, ' frustrated by the flourishing of a tobacco cutter by tha Intended ' victim, occurred In . Guy Connerley's grocery - store, 10,70 Cor bet t street, yesterday morning about 11 O'clock. . . - Mr. Connerl was standing behind tha counter of his store when a stranger came Into his place and asked him for a dollar's worth of sugar. Mr. Con ner ly weighed out the amount and the man. after receiving, it, told . him to 'charge it, When the grocer asked Htm to whom he should charge it, the fel low struck him la the face with bis . fist. " ' . OonherlyV side-stepped the full effect of the blow and, picking up the tobacco cutter, charged the would-be hold-up man. The latter took to flight" Officer Rudolph was called and he traced the man to a saloon a few blocks away. Here all trace was lost. - r , i E r.l r.1 A GOLDMAN GIVES VIEWS ON . ; i , . ' , , C ' : Declares It Is Probable Russian Secret Serrice Caused the ; New York Explosion Tliat Killed Sifrerstein , Believes Christ Was an Anarchist - " Miss Emma Goldman, known In the Nerr Tork. newspapers as -"the High Priestess of Anarchy." arrived in Port land this morning from Tacoxna, and In the course of half, an hour's Interview failed to make any statement more rash than to say that it was quit probable that the recent bomb throwing in New York City in which the anarchist 811 versteln was killed was Instigated by the Russian government " The Russians, slad Miss Goldman, are doing everything In their power to discredit - the Russian revolutionists throughout the world.- Bne declared that, tha aecret asenta of the Russian government have been trying for some time to cast discredit upon the revolu tionists in New Tork City, who are powerful and aetive,-and are rendering much support to tne roemoers ox ineir party at home. Letters received by Miss Goldman during her western trip from the sisters of Sllversteln show that he declared aa he was dvinar that he did not know who threw the bomb, and it U generally believed by tne New xorx an archists that Russian agents threw it to discredit the Russians In this coun- rf . -t '.

Her balr is black, and her eyes are large and gray and earnest looking. -Her lips are mere ly a narrow line, but her mouth is the most noticeable feature in the face She is entirely emancipated as regards her figure it would be impossible to Imagine Miss Goldman wearing corsets and Cuban heels. , Her black dress is merely a covering for her body, leaving the throat oollarless and free. She looks you in the eye ai)d prac tically tells you that tha kingdom of God is -Within you. Egoist to the point where she calmly breathes "My truth Is the truth," she yefcdoes not insist upon ?our agreeing with her. - She leaves one o do aa he likes, while she pursues her way preaching the doctrine of the crimi nality of government and the wicked ness of force. Apparently oblivious to the things of life that usually make for happiness, she speaks and acts as though she had but one set of faculties, and that those were sensitive solely to the influence of revolution . and revolt against the established order of things. It was impossible to think, while she talked, that Mis Goldman knew that the sun was shining, that the air was clear and sparkling and that through the ' open window of the very room In which she was .sitting came the frag rance and the glad notes of spring. This Zs SUoeptlT Period Miss Goldman has been making a rather careful study of economic con ditions over the country since the finan cial crisis last fall. 'All throueh the west" she said.

' Aa economic pressure Increases I have found that the ability of the worklngvclasses lo think . clearly grows in the same ratio. - During the times of supposed prosperity they are apt to feel that well anous-h should be let alone. but when the oppression of the ruling classes Decomes greater tney awaae iu their real position and to tha Injustloe of things as they are."- -. . When she was asked if she thought acts of ' violence would increase as a result of the hard times sh said that they undoubtedly would. "It has been found everywhere that as tne governing power shows its oppres sive strength tha protest of the crushed grows stronser. It is always so in Europe. The oppressive governments are tne ones tnat create opposition ana violence. There is Inflnlately more' vio lence in America than In England or in the Scandinavian v countries,, because the people of those - countries enjoy a much greater amount of personal liberty than do the people of America. We have little liberty here. I, for example, have been hounded all my life have been re peatedly arrested, . for Instance, when men have spoken with me and said the Mima inings tnat i ma out were leu untouched. - They arrested me at the time of McKlnley assassination and tried to connect me with tliat, but I was liberated by the courts and the de tectives were rebuked severely for hav- iu( vauaeu my arrest. , "Violence With Ttolenee." 7 1 ' i nave consistently, , all my life, re fused to condemn those who by their acts of violence Injure others.

Anarchy ' is bound to come as a nhllosonhr it has existed only 100 years, but many of the great men of history were anarchists 1 believe that Christ himself was an anarchist And if he had not been cruel fled the Christian religion would never have grown to its present alia. It is only through persecution that we grow, and I for one do not oblect to it" When asked what waa her opinion of i-resiaent Koosevejt, miss uoioman said tnat although she had not paid particu lar attention to him she regarded him as a bombastic and superficial man. "He la ready to tackle anything and everything and' give forth an opinion on it. He stops at nothing from animals to childbirth. The mere fact that what he has said has been said before doesn't affect him in the least He is like the German kaiser whom he Imitates the laughing stock of people who think deeply and have real knowledge on the subjects that he loves to express him self upon. He is typical of the Ameri can newly-rich comparison with the French bourgeois is natural a class that has grown lo wealth but not in Intelligence."
