Despondent Waiter
Attempts . Suicide
Eiaett Hope's uf May Be Bared Be
cause of Eli Savingr Takes Quantity
of Whiakey Befor Takixur Add.
Err.es t Hope, 22 years old and a
waiter at Twelfth and Glisan streets,
attempted suicide this morning at 7
o'clock at the rear of the fire engine
house at Fifteenth and Glisan streets
by taking carbolic acid. He Is at the
Good Samaritan hospital In a serious
condition. The young man came from
Highland,. Crook county.
Despondency over ill health is con
sidered the cause of the act. Before
taking the acid Hope scribbled a note,
which he intended to be in the form
of a will, saying he left $300 in the
bank at Manchester, Or., to his father.
He further stated that he took a large
quantity of whiskey before taking the
acid, so he would have courage to take
the poison. Fortunately, the liquor
acted as an antidote, which may save
his life. This note was found in his
room near the fire engine house.
For the past month the young man
has been employed as waiter at the
restaurant. Employes say he has com
plained of stomach trouble. His father
is Henry C. Hope. Detectives Price i
and Mallett visited the room occupied
by the young man, where they found1
the note and $19 in money. They were
unable to talk to him at the hospital,
as th poUon had. badly burned his
throat.
Th First Carpet,
From the Youth's Companion.
The first carpet ever seen in Bast
Hampton, Long Island, was in Parson
Lyman Beecbefs house. One day a
little money came from Uncle Lot Ben
ton, the good angel of the Beecher fam
ily. With it young Lyman bought the
cotton; his wife. Roxana. spun it, had
it woven, and painted It over In oil -colors,
with a gay border round tho '
edge, and groups of flowers in the
center, '-' .
When the new carpet was laid down,
the -people were astounded at the mag-.. ?
nifieence of the pastor s parlor. Good "
old Derfcon Tallmadge. coming one day,
stopped at the door, afraid to enter. - '

By Kurton K. StandUh.
WBHhlnRton, May 5. At last thn
fedfTHl IndiiBtr'lal. commlwlon, created
ly fonirrens many months ago. has got
vid-r way and han started its real
rrk. For four daya thn commission
I11 hear1ns In Washington which
v ere the beginning of a sertea of In
vestigations extending; throughout the
country. It is said these hearings will
'"nmirne many weeks and will take in
(Tit ao, Phlladlephla. New York, Indi-
napoli. Bt. Touls. Cleveland, Cincin
nati and all of the cities of importance
b far west as Kansas City. Later, the
rommlsKlon will take up the situation
In IVtiwr and on the Pacific coast but
.tl'Ht part of the program has not yet
lecn-fully mapped out.
The tHk ,of the Industrial commis
r'nn strikes the layman as rather an
If'eniHtlc one. largely chimerical. The
announced object of the body is to In
vestigate the labor unrest throughout
tho nation and to recommend to con
FT'k In Its report, certain laws that
will cn'rrert some, at least, of the ex
in'ilna' Industrial evils and bring about
a better understanding and feeling be
tr cn employers and employes.
To the uninitiated, this seems like a
oulrnt'c tilting at windmills. T-Ike the
rfr wMcli we have always with us,
t'i.- countrv has never been without Its
o- f'lsiirfectlons, Its strikes, walkouts,
loi konts. and dissatisfied workers. That
ni'cii things can be eliminated by law
sripeiirs to the average man like a vis
ionary dream. As well, try to control
the weather and make It conform to
our tleMreN as to idealize the condi
tion of Industrials in the United States
and .nreserve harmony between capital
and labor. But that is the purpose for
which the federal Industrial rnmmis
Hon wns created and that Is what its
"nberr will try to accomplish in
! flr report to congress nt the expira
tlon of their tenure.
Both Sides To Be Heard.
'ti Its bearings the commission will
tr- to obtain the views of both sides
t- workers and operators, tn every
bra rch of Industry. The first day of
trr hfarlng here John Mitchell of New
York told the attentive commissioners
pf shout the coal miners, what they
"nnt that they have pot got and what
have that they would like to have
ta' en from them. In brief Mitchell

' e"l fonduco to better feeling between
lh,. d.; rutovs and the miners. The op
e-ntor told the commissioners where

The henrlnes before the industrial
(i.iT-nii.s(in are exceedingly free and
e"H. Kdch witness is allowed to talk
r- " 'irh ns he pleases. When the
vorklngman or the employer, as the
i - wr. ray be. Is sworn, he then Is asked
, "iiat he thinks Is the matter with his
tiri-' cular branch of industry. Tie then
l sllowed to go ahead and talk until
V" Is "run down." When the witness
; 1e concluded his initial speech, the
commissioners then question him if his
c-Ti ideas have left untouched any of
te matters that the investigators
thick is Important.
Woman Conducts Hearings.
Following the miners and operators.
-V'Tierons other industries had their in
r'-rs during tt.e four days' hearing in
t ii.i capital. On the second day the gar-
vent worKers were given tneir turn.
,'nti'lrj- Into this Industry was begun
New York several weeks ago, but
not completed. The garment workers'
Investigation brought to Washington a
? mall army of working men and women
rrr. New York, members of the union
r-id officials of the numerous garment
-nnufactnrers in the metropolis. In
i fe past year there have been several
rrlous strikes of garment workers in
"ew York, and the inquiry Into this
" trade proved about the most interest
' In" of the Washington hearing.
The sittings of the Industrial commis
p'on are interesting because of the
presence on .the body of Mrs. J. Borden
,Tarrlman of New York. Mrs. Harri
dan Is the only woman holding a slm
I'ar ppsltion In the government and Is
;- r trember of one of the oldest New
- Yr.rk families. She belongs to the Fifth
venue social set, and Is one of the
". social favorites in Washington being
cm Intimate terms with the family of
the president and being a guest at all
of the soolaltfunctlons of the cabinet
and diplomatic circles. But, If any
rbody has the idea that a woman may
net -be a society favorite and be prac-
. Meal at the same time, he will be unde
reived by watching Mrs. Harriman.
Rh Is the resident commissioner, being
' always In : Washington and she has
rteeped herself in industrial knowledge
until she Is a recognized authority. At
thg first of the hearings, while Frank
T. Walsh; of Kansas City, the chair
" man. was away on oiner Dustiness, Mrs.
Harriman presided and her questions
t. brought out most of the information
' from the witnesses that proved of
value to the comnvaslon.

ined to clean out the place once and
for all this time.
The club is operated by V Wilbur,"
whom the governor says formerly ran
a dance hall and house of prostitution
in Astoria. It was incorporated Janu
ary 30, 1914. by Wilbur. E. Holloway
and B. Barlsh.
"Under the guise of a club or fake
odge." raid the governor, "Wilbur is
maintaining a resort where men and
women and youns girls congregate for
the purpose of carousing and debauch
ery. While we are watting for the at
torney general and his 'due process
of law,' the laws of the state are be
ing violated and young women de
bauched."'
Several . wcoks ago the governor di
rected Attorney General Crawford to
bring suit to have, the club's charter
cancelled on the ground that it wan
organized for unlawful purposes. The
governor said that he lias heard of
nothing being done to put the club out
of business, and that it is time to call
a halt in the club's operations.
Adjutant General Flnzer today re
ceived a long distance telephone mes
sage from Governor West in which the
governor asked that several militia
men be ordered to hold themselves !n
readiness to take charge of the taverns
at Milwaukie.
The governor said he had heard that
conditions at Milwaukie were bad, and
that he was determined to- clean things
up.
