mounted. The officer are acattared
all along the wharve with Instruc
tion to permit no crowda to collect or
allow anyone not having rood and auf

An appeal for protection waa made
to Mayor Albee laat night by the Em
ployers' association and shippers In
volved in trouble with the long-shoremen
as a result of the San Francisco
& Portland Steamship company and
the American Hawaiian line refusing
to take back the freight checkers who
Wfre discharged when their union
made request for better working con
ditions. Union Man Warned.
.J. A. Madaen, secretary treasurer of
the Pacific district of the International
Longshoremen's association, stated this
morning that the unions have strict
orders not to commit any acts of vio
lence, and that if any police protection
Is required it is to protect against out
siders who may Interfere.
Kverythlng is peaceful on the
front, ' lie said, "and our men are not
giving any trouble."
A crowd of striker and sympathis
ers beat up Frank Plaskey, riding boss
for the Thomas Gray Transfer com-
I any, near the entrance to Albers
dock No. 3. yesterday afternoon. Plas
key, who Is over SO years of age. was
set upon by a crowd of 50 men and
when rescued by teamsters was badly
cut up and bruised.
The fight grew out of an attempt
liv the transfer company to move sev
efal reels of telephone cable consigned
to ths Pacific (Mates Telephone & Tele.
graph company by the American-Ha
waiian Steamship company. A wagon
. was sent down yesterday morning and
scoured one load of three reels, the
reels being placed directly on the
wagon from the derricks of the steam
er Navajo. The crowd of pickets out
bid "the dock warned the dilver not
in return again. Plaskey, with three
wagons, returned to the Albers dock
Shortly after noon to move the bal-s-tif
e of the shipment. The crowd gath
ered outside of the dock dragged Plas
key out hi. huggy and administered a
severe beating before the teamsters
under him and officers who rushed to
tlia scene rescued him.
May rind Solution Today.
V. C. Francis, secretary of the Em
ployers' association, stated .tills morn
ing that the situation waa practically
the same as yesterday, except that
everything is quiet as a result of the
city having responded to the request
for protection.
It is intimated that there Is possi
bility that tho trouble involving the
f) eight cheexnrs may be settled this
afternoon, and in that event the long
shoremen will return to work as if
nothing out of the ordinary had hap-
prned. That the settlement will b
trade here Instead of at Ban Francisco
was also the opinion of those closely
acquainted with the negotiations that
are Under way.
Mr. Francis said he waa not In posi-
. tlon to say anything yet as to what It
Is proposed to do to establish the open
shop policy on the front; but insisted
that It must b done to give the port
i equal chance with other coast competi-
: tors.

Marine sharpshooters were placed by Admiral Fletcher at every advantageous spot In Vera Cruz after he landed from the warships in

Casual Investigation by different In
terests has led only to conflicting re
ports, so It is said, ana 11 is aesireu
to gain Information that will be ab
solutely definite upon which to form
a basis of adjustment. Many matters
of this kind, it is said, have already
been adjusted.
Mr. Francis declares that the condi
tions exacted by the longshoremen dis
criminate against the port, while the
longshoremen contend that regula
tions here are the, same as In competing-
ports.
The San Francisco & Portland
Steamship company's liner 'Bear at
Alnsworth dock has still considerable
freight In her hold that should have
been discharged by this time as she
is booked to depart for California ports

made today to handle It.
It was announced from the office
this morning that the liner would sail
Thursday morning In accordance? witn
schedule whether the trouble Is settled
or not. The liner Beaver is due to ar
rive at Alnsworth dock Thursday
afternoon.
ICon-TJnion Men at Work.
The American-Hawaiian liner Navajo
is discharging freight at Albers dock
today, non-union men doing the work:
and C. D. Kennedy, local manager for
the company, stated this afternoon that
the steamer will have her freight on
and be ready for departure for San
Frajicisco tomorrow, the date fixed for
her departure.
"We have nothing to settle," said
Mr. Kennedy. "New men have been
engaged to do the work that the old
freight checkera performed, and if
tne longshoremen do not wish to
work for us it Is something we can
not help."
Will Hold Conference.
A conference will be held this after-
r.oon between President J. D. Farrell
of the O.-W. R. A N. Co. and G. I
Blair, general manager of the San

"KNOWINGLY UNTRUE"
DR. SMITH'S REPLY TO
OREGONIAN'S ATTACK
(Continued. From Page One)
when It referred to my record as mayor
of Pendleton. I was elected In 1898
and served one term. Those were days
when Eastern Oregon was yet a fron
tier country. When I went Into office
I found a system of monthly fines of
women in vogue. I put a stop to it. I
found gambler were paying similar
fines for the privilege of plying their
trade. I put a stop to that. I found
saloons open on Sunday. I closed them
and drove the gamblers from town.
These things were all a matter of
record and could have been procured
by the Oregonlan had it had a-disposition
to state Vhe facte."
"The Oregonian'a attack on me is only
an eleventh hour attempt to defeat me.
I am certain of nomination and the
Oregonian would give much to prevent
it. The Oregonian speaka of boldness.'
It Is a bold thing for the Oregonian to
attempt to undertake a dictation of the
Democratic primary .nominee when it
has not even had the courage to indi
cate its choice of the eight candidates
in its Own primary.
"The Oregonian'o reference to my
legislative record is equally unfounded
on fact and is made for the same pur
pose." Divorce Is Allowed.
Mrs. Gordon McDonald testified be
fore Circuit Judge Morrow that her
husband. John W. McDonald, had often
refused to speak to her, at times for
as long as three weeks, and had treat
ed her eruelly. Judge, Morrow allowed
her divorce. They were married in
Caldwell, Idaho, February 9, 1907.
