Three nonunion" drivers left their

: So Material Change ,
In! the general strike situation there
seems to be no material change. The

meet union requirements. Four new

which was posted nonunion Saturday,
They were not former union men. The
entrance of William HUgers, an expert
" maohinlst, to the works, was denied by
a body of union pickets When HUgers
' persisted in his determination to go to
work, he was Jostled by the pickets.
One of them, Hilgers says, kicked him.
, Hilgers drew a knife, and when attacked
again cut one of the pickets in the arm.
" He was then allowed to go to work.'
Both teamsters and machinists reaf
; firmed their conviction that they will
I win-the strikes. "We are fighting for
principle more than are the employers,"
declared the head of the teamsters. "We
have , funds sufficient to carry ' us
through , and we are not losing any

"Our ' treasury is being "filled from

uoslng any men, in spite of nonunion
I posters. The work of manufacturing
machinists positively ' cannot proceed

granted."
"Despite opinions to the contrary.
; there Is not a better friend to the work-

Court Holds Deed to 1700
Acres of Land Passes
Perfect Title.
The Rogue River Timber company
was given title to 1700 acres of land in
Jackson county by Judge Bean In the
United States court this morning. At
the same time the Victor Land com
pany lost Us contention that It. should
be" considered owner of. the property;
.The victor Land company brought
suit some time" ago to quiet title to
the land. The difficulty, arose over
couple of transfers made In 1902. The
land formerly belonged to Aaron Walt,
who died In 1898, , leaving a will which
named his son, Charles NWalt. as his
administrator. The : administrator ' in
settling the estate asked permission of
the court to sell the lands under con
troversy. This permission was granted.
and the land was sold to the Rogue
.Later the land was seised to satisfy
a judgment against Charles Wait, and
was sold at sheriffs sale to th Victor
Land company. " . It was then contended
that the prior sale was not valid, be
cause the probata fcouft In unwinding
the usual red taps had not described
the land. -
Then , the legislature came In and
passed an act curing the defect in the
title to the land. The ' Rogue River
company refused to give up the land,
and the Victor company claimed It
Judge Bean decided that the legislative
act had cured any defect Id the first
sale, f nd therefore held with the Rogue
River Timber company. f
Judge Bean Holds That Tribal
Ceremonies Still Are '
Binding. .
When an Indian man marries an In
dian maid In the Indian way, he -Je
within the protection of the white man's
law, according to United States District
Judge , R. S. Bean, who said so . this
morning. ' . , "
The reason for the Judge's decision
was litigation growing out of the title
to certain lands on the Umatilla reser
vation, where Indians had married ac
cording to triblal customs, had been
divorced, and finally had died, leaving
me settlement Of the estates to the care
of the white man's court
. ' Pour Cases in Court - - . ,
Three of these cases came before
Judge Bean recently, while a fourth
presented the slightly different feature
that the dytng Indian had been refused
the last rites of the church unless he
was married in the church. The sauaw
refused to go through with the cere
mony, and lived .with her husband as a
servant until his death.
Judge Bean said In rendering his de
cision that . the question was whether
the marriage of an Indian allotee ac
cording to tribal customs was valid
It had been .contended that since the
federal j act Of. 1887 provided that all
allotees should be cltisens of the United
States therefore they were bound, by
the same laws as ojther cltisens, Includ
ing -the obligation to marry and . the
privilege of being divorced like other
people. .. . . '
Hever Before Decided. .
The federal courts' had never passed
on the r question. ' Judge ;: Bean said,
though the state supreme court had de
cided that tribal relations were binding.
It was only good reasoning to hold that
where the federal government regtilated
the right of the Indian to drink liquor
and kept him confined to his reservations,-
that the citizenship of the Indn
was still hedged about with some re
strictions. Since their tribal life had
not been , changed," it was only proper
that their tribal customs should be al
lowed to prevail. He, therefore, held
that a tribal marriage wag binding, and
that children born as the result of tribal
marriages were to be considered the
proper heirs to estates left by Indian
allotees. . - '
Owing to the fact that the gasoline
launch Olympic plying between the
Merrill boathouse, , foot of Morrison
street, and tho Oaks, ran down th
dingheys Celt and, Duckey yesterday,
there was no race as scheduled by the
DInghey , club.. Tha , Duckey had - her

off. The Celt suffered a broken main
boom. ' The skippers In ; both boats.
James Haslett and Captain H. F. Todd,
were badly shaken up. ,-a-. .;-tkc-,-.-
The accident occurred while the sail
boats were on a starboard tack, such
vessels having! the right of way when
tacking. The launch did not stop after
striking the boats. Captain Todd says
he will taRe the matter up with the
local Inspectors, while John D. Mitchell,
