EYE WITNESSES TESTIFY
Testimony in California Tragedy
Differs as to Whether Man
' Who Was Slain Had Weapon.
MarysvWe, Cal., Nov. 7. (U. P.)
The unwritten law that a man has
the right to avenge the honor of hla
, ulster will be relied upon to clear
Frank A. McCormick and Mrs. Fred
VJ. Wilson of the charge that they
murdered Charles A. Brown, young
stockman.
This was made plain today following
the Inquest last night. The coroner's
Jury found that Brown came to his death
from gunshot wounds inflicted by "the
hand or hands of Mrs. Fred J. Wilson
and F. A. McCormick."
Two versions of the killing; were given,
one hy Arvln Ward, employe of Brown,
and the other by Wesley Potts. These
ye-witnesses differed 'on the important
point of whether Brown had a gun.
Ward declared he did not. Potts said
he did.
They agreed that Brown and McCor
mick first struggled and that Brown
accused McCormick of fighting unfairly.
CLAIMS GUJT WAS BETtRICED
Ward said Brown had had a gun,
' which had been given to him by Mrs.
Wilson a few weeks previous. He said

Baltimore Strike
Baltimore, Nov. 7. Help yourself
barber ahopa are the order of the
day here. The boss barbers, hoping
to break the strike of their helpers,
have inaugurated the plan of letting
cutomera who can do so make the
use of facilities of the shops to shave
themselves.
"I haven't tried cutting my own
hair." said a man in one of the shops
today, "but I think I can beat some
of these fellows at that."
Brown had returned this gun to Mrs.
Wilson before the fight.
Mrs. Wilson is the wife of Fred J.
Wilson, well known newspaperman.
Ward said McCormick came into
Brown's cabin and argued with Brown,
declaring Brown had been with Mrs.
Florence Howard, McCormick's younger
sister, the night before. McCormick, ac
cording to Ward, said he would see his
Bister and that if Brown had been with
her In an apartment the' night 'before
he would return and have it out with
Brown. '
WITNESS DESCRIBES FIGHT
"McCormick returned to Brown's cabin
Ister in the day," Ward testified.
"Brown and myself were lying on a
cot. McCormick said Toii are a
I'll kill you,' and grabbed Brown
by the throat, starting to choke him.
Brown arose and said, "Why don't you
fight like a man? "
Ward testified McCormick got a rifle
and shot Brown. Mrs. Wilson, he said,
came from behind the house and fired
three shots. Ward said that McCor
mick cried to Mrs. Wilson, ' Shoot that
other ; he knows too much."
"He meant me," Ward said. "I start
ed rtihning."
William Dews testified he saw McCor
mick with blood streaming from his
mouth and heard a shot, but did not
witness the shooting.
Mrs. Howard, about whom the killing
centers, said she was in Orovllle when
the killing occurred: She refused to
answer Coroner J. K. Kelly when he
asked her, "Do you know what led to
the shooting?"
'SAYS BROWIT PULLED QVX
Potts testified he saw them struggling
and blood streaming from McCormick's
face. Brown, he said, (Allied a pistol
and a bunth of keys from his pocket
and fired at McCormick.
Potts said Mrs. Wilson ran from the
house, crying "Charlie, don't shoot."
McCormick. he said, shot Brown and
Mrs. Wilson, then fired several Bhots
into Brown's body'. Potts said Brown
lay on the ground two minutes before
Mrs. Wilson fired.
Dr. A. L. Miller testified he had per
formed an autopsy and that Brown died
from a gunshot wound In his neck,
which severed an artery. Brown died
from loss of blood, and if given proper
attention might have lived, he said.

Conservative union labor men re
fused Thursday night to permit their
navies to be posted as candidates for
the presidency and other offices in
the Central Labor council when the
weekly meeting of that organization,
dominated, it was said, by known
radicals, placed several of the more
radical candidates in nomination.
Election of president and secretary
treasurer to fill unexpired terms will
occur at the meeting next Thursday
night and, forecasting the result, radical
leaders believed they have already mus
tered enough support to put D. E. Nick
erson, delegate from the carpenters'
union, in as president and William Wil
liams, a bollermaker, as secretary treas
urer. CANDIDATES ABE NAMED
Candidates for the presidency nom
inated Thursday night were: Nlckerson,
E. R. Doods of the carpenters' union ;
C. H. Copeland of the meat cutters, J.
R. Sturgeon, shipwrights ; Joe Thornton,
retail clerks: J. Laundy, bollermakers ;
William Williams ; R. F. Geist of the
machinists and W. G. Lynn, carpenters,
were nominated as secretary treasurer
to succeed E. J. Stack, whose resigna
tion the council had previously accepted
and refused to recall at the Thursday
meeting to permit Stack to serve the
remainder of his term. By a vote of
87 to 82 the council reaffirmed Its ac
ceptance of Stack's "resignation.
Harry Anderson is the president of
the council who will retire with the elec
tion of one of the radicals named Thurs
day. He proved at the meeting, how
ever, that he will continue to hold, the
reins against all comers until he re
tires, when he squelched a near riot on
the floor by parliamentary procedure.
CANDIDATE NOT CITIZEN
Williams, leading candidate for the
place made vacant by Stack, has not
yet completed his citizenship papers,
and failure to do so is said to be the
only thing that will prevent him from
being elected. He has been a resident
of the United States for many years,
encaged chiefly as a seaman.
ine council unanimously indorsed the
assessment of every member of the
unions .In Portland a dollar each to
raise the capital to construct and equip
a cooperative laundry. If the unions
respond. $40,000 will be raised. As soon
as $5000 has been pledged there will be
a telegraphic order eent for machinery.
MOONEY CASE DISCUSSED
Delegates heard John B. Mooney, who
is touringlw country in behalf of his
brother, Tom Mooney, who is serving
a life sentence in California for com
plicity in the San Francisco Prepared
ness day bomb plot. He asked that a
hall be obtained for a mass meeting.
He told of the way in which the labor
organizations of London are said to have
forced the authorities to grant them the
use of Royal Albert hall, an auditorium
seating 16,000 people, by shutting off
the lights, and threatening that the
next time there was a gathering of any
kind there to shut down lights and
transportation, unless the demand for
its use was granted without distinction,
to workers as well as others. His re
marks were received with great ap
plause and a committee of five to secure
a hall was appointed.

Hitchcock said. "He seemed keenly in

complete willingness to leave the treaty

senate, and approved the action of ad

DESTRUCTIVE, 8AT8 WILSON
Wilson agreed with Hitchcock, the
senator said, that .the pending Lodge
reservations would be "destructive,"
and therefore unacceptable.
Hitchcock informed the president that
the Lodge "destructive" reservations
probably would muster 49 votes, but
would not receive the necessary two
thirds when they come before the sen
ate from the committee of the whole.
Hitchcock outlined his plan of action
in detail for, the president's approval.
When the Lodge reservations are de
feated, Hitchcock will move unqualified
ratification, whk-h, he added, probably
will not receive the accessary two-thirds.
Interpretative reservations will then
be offered, which, according to Hitch
cock., wllj ret a larger vote, but prob

will then be deadlocked,

Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair
Girls if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for ft" will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid trvon ; apply It at night when re
tiring ; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it
Tou will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never falls. Adv.
