War Road, Minn., Oot. 11. Desola
tion and sorrow reign today over
thousands of square miles which a
few days before was a great timber
belt, and thriving villages. ' Three
hundred bodies must be cared for at
Rainy River alone, according to pri
vate advices. That town Is crowded
with half starved refugees, many of
whom' are badly burned and suffer
ing from lack of sufficient medical
treatment. The rush of the flames
before a high wind today threatened
the destruction of Ralnlner, ' Ragley
and Clearbrook and back firing is
the "only hope. The women were sent
out but the men are remaining to
fight. Aid for the rUugees which are
crowding War Road is being sent
from Winnipeg. The fire zone has
been placed unde: martial law In the
Beaudette district following the ar
rival of the stite militia. Caloi and
Clementson are reported burned.
Stories of wild animals fleeing for
safety side by side with human be
iiig: of mothers burned to death with
babies in their brensts, and of men
cremated while endeavoring to shield
their children, are among the tales of
horror brought In.
The Duluth express, when !t ar
rived here yesterday, brought many
refugees from the scene of the con
flagration. The engineer of the train thus des
cribed the situation:
"If the fire keeps on the way It Is
going there will be mighty little left
of the population of that part of Min
nesota. "For miles around Beaudette and
Spooner. Wis., where there were largo
traots of bush, it is now swept clear,
"There have been forests In that
part of the country for such a long
time that the earth Is practically peat
and when a tree fell It set fire even
to the roots and the earth around
the roots.
"From my engine. It appeared that
every timber mill In the country had
been burned except that of the Shev
lln Matthieu company, which Is safe.
All the lumber In the yards, however,
burned like a flash. When we passed
through, all the territory near the
trnck had been burned over and was
still smoldering.
"All the ties of. the road have been
charred. "We stopped every little
while to take-on people but most of
them got off Just outside the danger
zone so they could go back to what
was left of their homes after the fire
was down."
One of the most thrilling stories
of the situation Is given by Mrs.
Townsend of War Road, a refugee on
the Duluth train. She said:
"Two train loads of people left War
Road last night after midnight, but
we do not know whether they reach
ed a place of safety. The town of
Beaudette is wholly deserted."

UNUTTERABLE
SOCIETY WOMEN DECLARE
, AGAINST EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Los Angeles, Oct. 11. Because of
the belief expressed ' by leading so
ciety women of Southern California
that "the vote of every intelligent
woman will be nullified by tha votes
of fifty women neither educated nor
depent," the suffragettes In Los An
geles are conspicuously silent today.
The resolution adopted by the South
ern California association Composed
of prominent social leaders to the ef
face that woman suffrage be tabooed
caused the expression of the forego
ing opinion. Heretofore Los An
geles has been about evenly divided
on the suffrage question but It Is be
lieved now that the antls have the
tyest of the matter.
RAILROAD COMPANY CAN'
NOT IMPOUT ASIATICS
'Victoria, Oct. 11. Much signifi
cance Is attached today to the action
of Premier McBride who turned down
the application of the Grand Trunk
Pacific railroad to permit the Impor
tation of Asiatic labor to work on the
construction of a new line through
British Columbia. Railroad officials
pointed out that there was an alleged
shortage of labor, r The premier de
cided otherwise and intimated that
there are plenty of whites wanting
work who probably would make per

three rounds of fighting. At the be
ginning of the fourth round Dale's
seconds threw up the sponge to save
their man from a- knockout. Dale
broke his left arm in the -second
rcund of the fight and it was for this
reason, his seconds say, they stopped
the fight Nelson was clearly the
master of his opponent, however.
Before the first round had gone a
minute, It was obvious the Battler
had grounds for his claim that he
could "come back."
Nelson rushed into Dale after feel
ing him out for a few seconds. Many
spectators thought NelBon could have
won by a knockout in this round had
he wished.
Although clearly outclassed, Dale
fcught on gamely until ho broke his
arm.
In the third round he made no at
tempt to use the injured member, but
punched Nelson repeatedly with his
right

out the fight when, Nelson appeared
tired. . Re was light on his feet and
hit from all angles with great force. .
After the battle Nelson announced
that he had agreed to . fight "One
Round Hogan" of San Francisco, ten
rounds In that city on October 25.
Dale weighed In at 133 pounds but
Nelson did not weigh in. It was said
he weighed about 138.
...The Battler was given a rousing
reception when he entered the ring.
He was . tanned and appeared more
rugged than he did at any time In the
last three years.

New York Replies Declares Ca
tholicism Is Bitter Foo to liberty
and Education.
New York. Oct. 11. Cardinal Lo
gue,; Catholic primate of Ireland, in
a public statement today upheld the
alms and purposes of the Roman
Catholic church by declaring the
Catholic church, because of its fun
damental teachings, to be America's
salvation. He said: "The church
strikes at the very root of things,
tending to bring about national de
cay."t He intimated that grafting by
public officials and divorce were
America's besetting sins.
"Against these evil Influences our
church has always waged Implacable
warfare," he said.
Logue's prediction was scouted un
reservedly by Charles Waked a
prominent pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church, who said: "Even the
Catholics admit they are strongest
among the ignorant. For centuries
the Catholic church has been the un
relenting foe of educational liberty.
Zeal for liberty and education are the
two things that differentiate America
from other nations, and these two
things the Catholic clyireh has
fought hardest. Catoliclsm Isn't going
to sweep this country. Of their 15
millions in this country, the majority
are foreigners preached to in for
eign tongues. The records show that
80 per cent of the criminal class are
Catholics The greatest number of
recruits to the Catholic church come
from the foreigners who flock to this
country.
SECRETARY MEYER FAVORS
PACIFIC COAST DEFENSE
Seattle, Oct. 11. When interviewed
today after his return from the navy
yard, Secretnry of the Navy Meyer
said: "I have come to the coast to
look Into preparations for a proper
system of coast defense. Before this
can be done, however, care must be
taken that this coast can maintain a
fleet Your present docks would
not accommodate half the ships of
the navy. We cannot divide the At
lantic fleet before 1912 when your
new docks are completed and prob
ably not then." Meyer said he is an
ardent advocate for the Pacific coast
defensive Bystem.
TRUSTS WILL GET
HEARING IN JANUARY
Washington, D. C, Oct. 11. The
supreme court today reassigned the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
company cases for hearing January
S on motion of Attorney General
Wlckersham. These cases have at
tracted nation-wide attention as
they were brought by the govern
ment to dissolve the corporations un
der the charge that they are trusts.
That an Indian medicine man who
Is well known on the reservation Is re
sponsible for the death of his wife,
and little daughter is the expressed
belief of George Marshall, a well
known full-blooded - Cayuse brave
who was In the city today to report
the death of his wife to Major Lee
Moorhouse. Mrs. Marshall, whose
Indian name was B-npp-yet, died Oc
tober 5 on the mountain near the Lit
tle John Day while she was with her
husband and other Indians on a
hunting and fishing expedition. She
was buried near where she died.
According to Marshall, the medi
cine man who was assisted by two wo
men, "shot the poisonous medicine"
Into his wife's breast, thereby kill
ing her. He said the medicine man
and his two assistants were off on a
mountain several miles away, but
through their magic power they were
able to kill her Just as easily as
though the medicine men were stand
ing In front of her and used a real
gun.
Marshall was half crazed with grief
and rage when he called at the office

Paris, Oct. 11. Rioting on the
Northern Railways' lines began to
day although no attempts were made
to operate the trains. Workmen who
struck last night gathered about the
stations- today, and resented the ef
forts of the police and troops to dis
perse them. The railroad men, num
bering 100,000 of Paris, Lyons and
Mediterranean, are considering a
walkout in sympathy with the north
ern strikers.
The labor situation In France Is
fraught with' serious possibilities as a
result. The Nosthern strike was pre
cipitated by the coal handlers' de
mands for an Increase of wages to a
dollar a day from sixty cents. When
refused, every employe Including the
women ticket takers, struck. 13,200
err.; layes walked out.
The government is now transport
ing mails by auto and if this plan
fails, aeroplanes will be used. News
papers are demanding an extra ses
sion of parliament to consider the
strike.

St. Paul, Oct. 11. C. Severance,
representing the government, today
concluded his argument In the Union
Pacific merger rase before the United
States circuit court. He said: "The
railroad has drained the west of Its re
sources and has taken its money to
buy stock. If competitive business
were restored it would bring untold
development to the west which has
been long neglected. It would bring
Immense harvests from Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho. Montana and other
western states."

knows the name of the ' guilty In
dian and was anxious to have him ar
rested and tried for murder. When
assured, by Major Moorhouse that he
could not do this be appeared great
ly cast down and discouraged.
In the course of his narrative he
frequently referred to the case of
Columbia Gectrge and Toy-Toy, the
two Indians who killed an old In
dian woman they believed had been
responsible for the death of some
of their relatives! Marshall says this
man has the same power that was ex
ercised -by that woman. Though he
knows the accused Indian well he
said he did not desire to see him and
exhibited signs of terror when a pos
sible meeting was suggested. ', Ac
cording to Marshall, the guilty In
dian Is still out In the mountains but

Marshall says the medicine man
not only killed his wife but also hia

E
RESIDENCE OF WM. ROESCH
N RANSACKED BY ROBBERS
Opera Cloak and jlcwrlrv Are Amon
Articles Stolen Believed Woman
...Implicated in Deed. ... ... .
One of the most successful and
daring dayllghfhouee burglaries ever
committed in Pendleton occurred yes
terday ' morning in the fashionable
Water street residence district. Jew
elery and clothing to the value of
several hundred dollars were taken
from the home of William Roesch at
the Junction of Water and Lewis
street, though the family have not
yet been able to furnish the officers
with a complete list of the articles
taken. No member of the family was
at home.
That there may have been a woman
implicated in the btrglary is thought
possible by the fact that among oth
er things taken was the beautiful op
era cloak of Miss Freda Roesch. Rings
and other articles of jewelry belong
ing to Miss Roesch as well as some
belonging to her mother were also
taken.
One of the most regretable fea
tures of the theft is the fact that
among the articles of Jewelry taken
were some which had been presented
by relatives and friends and which
because of their associations were
therefore worth many times as much
to the owners than to anyone else.
Though the officers have been no
tified, they have nothing but a de
scription of some of the articles ta
ken upon which to work. They,
therefore have small hopes of being
able to apprehend the guilty parties,
for It is believed that more than one
person was Implicated in the crime.

1LS ONLY FINGER HURT
Spokane, Wash. Peter Buhfor, a
laborer, was hurled into the air with
several tons of broken stone by the
explosion of an 85 stick of giant pow
der while blasting in North Division
street here, sustaining only a slight
scratch on the fourth finger of his
left hand. He was standing directly
over the charge when the blast was
made. ..Workmen on the scene believ
ed the man had been blown to pieces,
but In a few moments Buhfor emerg
ed from the debris, shook himself and
axked ,to be taken to his home. He
was sent to the emergency hospital,
where Steward Dare and two city
physicians made a thorough exami
nation, but found only the abrasion
on the finger. Buhfor returned to
work in an hour, none the worse for
his experience. Afterward he said
that the peculiar sensation of his hur
ried flight through space was the
sound of sweet music and a display
of brilliant colors. However, he ad
ded, he does not believe he lost con
sciousness from start to finish.

Stark ville, Oct. 11. Ten bodies of
miners were found today after res
cuers had worked incessantly since
Saturday's explosion in the main tun
nel two miles from the entrance,
fearfully mangled.- The" tunnel was'
filled with debris and it will probably
be a long time before the bodies can
be brought to the surface as the res
cuers' work Is further hampered by
the fire damp which is increasing. It
is expected the rest of the entombed
men are dead also.
Several rescuers were overcome by
poisonous gases today. Shortly after
finding the bodies. J. F. Wellborn,,
president of the Colorado " Fuel & -Iron
company, arrived and will make
a personal investigation. Following . '
the arrival of the mine officials a
ro!!cy of secrecy was decided upon -and
it is expected no further details -will
be given out until a thorough in
vestigation is made and reports plac
ed in the hands of proper authorities.
Deputies are guarding the mines
Keeping every one away save the
rescuers. The miners are caring for
the wives and children of the entomb

the mine supported 67 children. An
investigation shows the explosion
spent its force inward like dynamite
making it impossible for any to sur
