of the negotiations . between George F.
Baer of Philadelphia, chairman of the
operators' committee for the anthracite
regions, and ; President White of the
miners may result In a readjustment
of the differences as to the hard coal
fields. An exchange of messages be
tween Baer and White Indicate that
both are willing to resume negotiations
Immediately In a final effort to settle
the controversy. '.
The taking of referendum by both
bituminous and anthracite miners means
that nearly 650,000 miners will cease

The Joint conference of bituminous
operators and miners later ratified the
compromise agreement. It will be sub
mitted to a referendum of the miners
Immediately. '
Arrangements were completed today

LONE MAN KILLS
TWO, INJURES ONE, OF -AUTOMOBILE
PARTY
(Continued From Page One.)
I saw the side of the man's face Just
as we passed him and he leveled his
shotgun. His face was smooth shaven
and I should Judge he was a man of
about 35 or 40 years of age. 1 I heard
him shout "holdup but nothing more.
Hastings was killed first. When he
fell forward I yelled to Stewart to speed
up as Hastings was shot "He did so
but we had no chance to get started
good before he had shot twice more and
wounded Lupton and Stewart
"I saw that the man was dressed In
some Ugh, material. Apparently, he
was alone, although he may have bad a
companion hidden nearby.-
"We were traveling at a fair rate of
speed. It was about 10:30 when we ap
proached the curve and saw the man
standing in the center of the road. We
had been to Oregon City and eft there
about 9:48. Our front lights "were out
and we could not see the fellow dis
tinctly. In fact, we would not have
seen him bad he been dressed In darker
clothes.
"We almost ran him down before he
stepped to the side of the road and
shouted. He leveled his gun at the
same Instant and I got Just an Impres
sion of his face before he fired. I
should Judge he was about 6 feet 10
Inches high.
Didn't Give Them Tim to Stop.
'After Hasting was shot he fell on
my shoulder and the blood spurted from
his shoulders and neck and poured on
me ana leu on tne seat. I knew he was
dying. He lasted however until we
reached Judge Carey's. We were stop
ping the machine when he expired.
"In front Don Stewart was slumped
over lying against Bruce's shoulder. We
knew when he fell that he had been
badly hurt but we did not dare to stop
then. Stewart was unconscious also.
'The highwayman didn't give us time
to stop. W would have done to but
he began shooting before we "realised
what he meant."
The shooting took place at one end
or a horseshoe curve in the Portland
Oswego road, commonly called the White
House road, and almost directly In front
of the home of F. U Crane, near Briar-
wood station, on the Oswego line of the
Southern Pacific. The murderer is sup
posed to have crouched ' behind Mr.
Crane's mall box, from where he had a
view of the whole horseshoe, In which
is about 200 feet of road, and of a short
stretch at the other end. He was able
to see the auto for some distance as It
approached, and stepped out - from be
hind the mall box, it Is supposed, when
he commanded it to halt
Bad Flaoe for Holdup.
, This spot is about half a mile north
to wards Portland from the bridge at
Wilsonla station, at the north end of
the Oswego city limit. Curiously
enough, if the man had been intent on
robbery, he could hardly have chosen
a worse spot for ' a holdup, for the
place is right near a little cluster of
houses. A few hundred yards on either
side would have been ideal for a holdup,
as the road Is dark and lined with trees.
On the left hand side of the road,
going towards Portland, the Elkrock
hillside rises abruptly. It Is covered
with trees and. undergrowth. The mur
derer is supposed to have fled up the
hillside. On the other - side are the
houses. The road Itself does not be
gin the main descent of Elkrook for
200 or 300 yards farther north, and is
almost level here...
A little path leads from Mr. Crane's
mall box about 60 feet down a good
slope to his house. At the other and
southern end of the horseshoe Is the
mall box of E. H. James and a path
leads to his home, about a block, from
the road and across the railroad track.
Between the track and the road, how
ever. Is a clump of trees. W. B. Simp
son, a labofer on the railroad, lives with
his' wife in a small tent house.'
Mr. Crane and Mr. Simpson, both
heard shooting. Mrs. Crane was asleep
ana was not awaKened, but her husband
distinctly heard one shot He went out
on the front porch, soon afterward, but
hearing no .further sound, went back
in the house. ;
"I heard only oiie shot" said Mr.
Crane. "I heard the-automobile at the
same time, and thought naturally that
the noise was made by the auto. At
first I thought the sound came from
some distance to the south."
Didst Know of Snooting1.
"I was awakened by what I took tb
be one shot" said Mr. Simpson. "At
the same time I heard the hum of the
auto's motor and concluded it .might
be the exhaust I didn't know there
had been a shooting till the police came
OUt"! .... j ', .j:..
u There was a party at Mr. James
home. Mr. James, said this morning that
he did not hear the shots, and thought
none of his guests did. The first in
timation they had of the murder was
when the detectives came to the house
at 12:30 o'clock just as the party was
breaking up.
Women living along the White House
road in this vicinity are timid about
tramps, for many pas along the road
and sometimes beg foj food. Thursday
Mrs. Crane' attention wasy-attracted to
two rough looking men, one of whom
wore a khaki coat that came nearly to
hi knees, and corduroy trousers. They
stopped at the mall box Just In front of
the house, and she heard them swear
at something several times. They stayed
there so long that she became fright
ened, but finally they left Mrs. Crane
did not see their faces, for their backs
were turned toward her.
A peculiar feature Is that none of the
searchers has been able to find the
shells pumped out of the shotgun,
though. It Is hardly thought likely that
the man picked them up before he fled.
A. single wad was found by-detectlve
in, front of Mr. Crane's mall box.
. Killed njr IClstake,
Directed by Sheriff Mass of Clack
amas, county and Sheriff Stevens of
Multnomah, posses scoured the hills
until late this forenoon without find
ing a trace of the man. The report
that a man in khaki, accompanied by
another man and bearing a shotgun, ar
rived la Portland over the Oregon Elec
trio at 11 o'clock last night could not
be verified. The only evidence found
thus far is some felt gun wadding,
which was picked up In the road In
front of Mrs. Crane's home.
The authorities are inclined to favor
the theory thai the murderer was wait
ing on the road with full Intent to kill
some enemy , and that the young men
were killed by mistake.
Strong aupport.ls given this theory
by a statement made to the police to
day by James W. Tlce. of 1085 East
Grant street who Is connected with the
Home Telephone company. '
Tlce reported that a man attired in a
"salt and pepper" suit appeared from the
brush along the White House road last
night and' carefully scrutinized his
machine, which contained himself and
wire and two friends. Apparently sat
lsiied that the machine was not the
one which he sought the man disap
peared In the bushes again. A few
minute later Tlce tuyied and wa driv
ing back toward Portland when he saw
me same man come from the bushes and
follow another automobile for some dis
tance, seemingly ,, trying to make out
its number.-----';''----'---Thlrf,
detectives argue, taken In con
nection with the fact that the man se
lected one of the worst possible place
for a holdup In that vicinity, Is an in
dication that vengeance and not rob
bery was the motive that inspired the
crime. , -

' MAYOR, SHERIFF
(Continued From Page One.)
brought about through the arrest of a
violator of the Sunday liquor law.
"The chaotic conditions of the city's
police force, from the astlmony given,
goes to prove that the mayor stated to
the chief of police, that he, the mayor,
would be responsible for the moral con
ditions of the city during his adminis
tration. The mayor stated before the
grand Jury that the civil service law
wa the cause of the present conditions
prevailing In the polios department
Evidence from the civil service com
mission denies this to be a fact the
member of the commission stating that
there had never been a discharged po
liceman brought before their body for
any cause whatsoever during the pres
ent city administration. The executive
board of the city of Portland, In all the
other departments, considered the civil
service a wise and beneficial law, and
not a detriment to the best Interests of
the city.
"On member of the police committee
stated that he considered his presence
on the executive board nothing more
than a cipher. Another stated that when
he attempted to clean up graft and gam
bling and to assist In bettering the con
ditions of the city, refusing to take a
graft of S3000 a month to allow these
conditions to prevail, he was imme
diately given to understand that he was
not a police commissioner, but only a
member of the police committee, and
not clothed with the authority to take
any action In police affairs, and that his
duties were only to O. K. bills, receive
complaints and report back to the ex
ecutive board, of which the mayor was
chairman.
We find the sheriff has been asleep
at the switch of duty and road houses
are running openly; liquor is being sold
by the drink or by the bottle, regard
less of license or permit: young girls
and men are served with liquor at the
bar, and obscene dancing is Indulged
in without Interference by the author
ities. These road house are being pat
.ronlsed probably a great deal more than
in years gone oy on account oi me ia
cllities with which 'auto service and
rapid transit can be obtained. - These
road houses are located within 80 min
utes drive, most alt of them, from any

If the publio knew the true condition

ruined by reason of Visiting these
places it would rise en mass and demand
that the persons in charge of our af
fairs turn In their emblem of author
ity, resign their, place of trust and
give over their office to men worthy
of filling their positions.
"During the four year of the present
Incumbent of the sheriff office there
has never been an arrest made in any
of these places, except on having it
brought to his attention by private citl
sens. Something should be done by the
publlo to stop this destruction of hu
man souls. Our ministers In our
churches have been' derelict in their
duty In not making these facts known.
It is a subject that should be preached
to every citizen in Portland, whs has
the Interest of society at heart Good
government cannot be built up under
our present condition.

iGAPiTAL LIE OF 1
mi m
New York Dept. of Agriculture
Reprints Letter, as "Slap"
at Oregon.'
One of th most disconcerting result
of the circular Issued by the Portland
labor council, warning workers from
Portland and Oregon, is its official use
by the New York department of agri
culture in a new item sent for publica
tion to all New York papers. Le Roy
Park, ex-presldcnt of the Oregon Immi
gration board, has just received a copy
of the Item from a friend, who asljs if
the assertions are correct. ' The obvious
purpose of the circulation given by the
state of .New York to the Portland la
bor council's circular says Mr. Park, la
to prevent the removal of families
from the worn New York farms to the
richer lands of Oregon.'
Effort is made in the statement to
make It as official as possible, as the
following opening statement shows: .
, "Calvin . J. Huson, state commis
sioner of agriculture, Is in receipt from
Governor Dlx of a communication ad
dressed to the governor by the Central
Labor council of Portland. Or.; which
Is of vital Interest to those citizens' of
the state contemplating removal to the
far west
"The Central Labor council brands
as false the many advertisements which
have recently appeared in the maga
zines and publlo press of the country,
by which thousands of men, women and
children from the eastern states have
been Induced to. emigrate to the state
of Oregon, lured thither by glowing
accounts about land and labor condi
tions. "The homeseekers, mechanic and la
borers on arrival there, 'quickly found
that they had been duped and large
numbers of them are now destitute, af
ter, having spent their saving in rail
road fares and in vainly seeking work.
Such is their destitution at the present
time that the city council of Portland
has been forced to appropriate large
sums of money . to put some of these
actually starving people to work on
park and street improvement at wages
below the prevailing rate for laborer.
Private charity has and is still being
taxed to its utmost.'" '
There is no evidence that effort was
made to verify the statements mad by
the Portland Labor council before be
ing recirculated seml-offlclally by the
state of New York. The New York clr
cular quotes copiously from the circular
Issued by the labor council and concludes
with the assertion apparently made to
extenuate the unverified circular that
it is signed by the president of the
Central Labor council and is under of
ficial seat
