Citizens of Cordova, Alaska
Dumps Cargo into Water

OFFICI ALS POWERLESS TO
CONTROL INDIGNANT MK.V
Action In Caused by tlio Government's
Delay In 0x-nlng up the Coiil Fields
of Alaska Young Says Act of Mob
Wan Nut Against Company Hut
Against Government.
Seattle, May 4. Conservationists
here today look upon the dumping of
the British coal into Cordova bay by
the citizens, as the work of men de
pendent cn the Guggenhelms whom
tbey allege Instigated the coal party,
in the Interests of the Guggenheim's
fight for the opening of the coal lands
by the government. J. H. Young,
president of the Alaska steamship
company whose coal was shoveled In
to the bay, defends the members of
the party. He said today: "Many of
them Invested their all In enterprises
believing the fuel available. Now
with the coal at their doors they can't
touch It. It Is nonsense. The coal Is
theirs and they are entitled to Its use.
It Is holding back business. The gov
ernment has not replied to their ap
peals and this made them angry. If
the American people understood there
would be no hesitancy in opening the
coal lands. ,
"It was not the act of a mob against
uk," said Toung, "but against the gov
ernment. I presume the government
Ik responsible to us for the coal, but
I am unprepared to say what steps
we will take If we have to loose the
coal."
The "Coal Party."
Cordova, Alaska, May 5. The ex
citement caused by the government's
failure to hurry action on the Alaska
foal land cases reached a climax here
yesterday, when 300 business men and
citizens formed a mob and armed with
shovels marched to the ocean dock of
the Alaskan Steamship company,
where they proceeded to throw several
hundred tons of Rritish Columbia coal
into the bay. Incensed at the thought
of no reply to the many appeals cab
led to President Taft to urge early
action looking to the opening of the
Alaska coal fields, the citizens of Cor
dova decided to' follow the example
set by the Boston "tea party," and
thus express the serious crisis that has
been reached in the Alaska coal situ

IS
USED LICENSE
CANNOT ESTABLISH SALOON
NEAK PILOT ROCK
After Considering tlio Matter All Day
County Court by I'nanlmoug Vote
Decides Not to Grant Petition.
John Bradburn, dealer in wines,
whiskies and all kinds of intoxicating
beverages, can not establish a drink
emporium Just outside the city limits
of Pilot Rock. At 2:30 this afternoon
after considering the matter all day.
the county court by unanimous vote
decided not to grant the petition of
104 Pilot Rock voters asking that
Bradburn be given a county license.
Pilot Rock was one of the towns
In Umatilla county which voted wet
at the recent election, but the council
of that town decided that only one
drinking house should be allowed
within the limits of the town. Brad
burn was one of the applicants for
this license but was not the success
ful one. He then conceived the idea
of opening a house just without the
city limits under a county license. To
that end application was made to
the county court and a petition w,th
more than a hundred signers sent In.
With the assistance of Deputy Dis
strlct Attorney W. C. E. Prultt, the
court has been considering the ques
tion all day. The law giving the
court power to grant licenses was
tnade IA' 1889 before local option had!
ever been tried and Is not applicable I
to present day conditions, In the I
opinion of the authorities. The court!
also decided that the legalizing of a J
saloon Just outside the city limits !
would bo equivalent to encouraging
of lawlessness as the town officers
would be without any Jurisdiction
over the place.
There has been considerable feel
ing aroused In Pilot Rock over the
petition, it having Its advocates and
exponents In number. The former
employed an attorney, who attempted
to construe the wording of the law so
that the court would have no option
In the matter but would have to
grant the license. However, the
court was not so convinced and by a
unanimous vote refused the applica
tion. Wild Horse Road Granted.
The county court yesterday granted
the petition asking that the Wild
Horse road be returned to the bed of
the creek where It was formerly rout
ed. The sentiment for this change
strong and the decision of the court
will be popular.

SHAW SUSPENDED BY
PRESIDENT FRAZIER
"Hunky" Shaw, the crack first
baseman of the Walla Walla team of
the Blue Mountain league has been
suspended from farther participation
In the games of the league schedule
by President Lawrence G. Frazler of
this city. This decision was made by
the head of the league yesterday as
a result of Umpire Breed's report of
the unfortunate ending of the game
in that city last Sunday between Walla
Walla nnd Weston.
Breed's report shows that Shaw de
liberately spiked Rlomgren, the Wes
ton second baseman following a per
sonal encounter between Shaw and
Nor Dean. The decision wns sent to
Mnnnger Bade yesterday and was not
received very plensnntly by the Wal
la Wnlla club. Manager Bade" came
over this morning to consult with
President Frnzler but the latter Is ab
sent from the city on a fishing trip.
According to reports from Walla
Wnlla, unless Bade can secure the re
instatement of Shaw, the Garden City
eluh will tuke some radical action.

Names of those Indicted withheld.
Los Angeles, May 5. Volleys of al
ibis will be fired In the defense for
the freedom of the McNamaras when
the case comes before the court. The
defense intimated that James lie
namara will be the particular bene
ficiary as t never was contended that
John was in California during the
time of the Times explosion. An at
tempt will be made to show that
James was in another section of the
country, so he could not have possibly
participated in the dynamiting. The
defense attorneys conferred long to
day following the return of 21 In
dictments by the grand Jury. They
seemingly believe that the McManl
"gal testimony is responsible for them.
It is said 19 of them charge the Mc
Namaras with murder and the other
two connect John and McManigal with
the Llewellyn Iron works Explosion.
No More Testimony,
Los Angeles, May 4. No other wit
nesses have been summoned to ap

Moyer Replies to Roosevelt.
Denver, May 6. Replying to the '
articles by Roosevelt on McXamara,
Charles Moyer, president of the West
ern Federation of miners, said today:
"If another man of Roosevelt's promi
nence hud made such declarations
they might have weight. Roosevelt
Is Inconsistent. When Hayward, Pet
tlbone and myself were awaiting trial
Roosevelt declared we were "unde
sirable." He virtually tried and con
victed us yet he could not have known
w hether we were guilty or innocent. J
I venture to say the country would
hear Roosevelt's protests If any of his
friends were treated as the McNa
maras have been.

The Judge set 2 o'clock this after

Inaugurated a campaign of protest.
'Roosevelt," says the Daily Socialist,
editorially today, "butted Into the
Moyer-Haywood case and became in

miners as undesirable citizens. Now
he has butted into the McXamara

Man Who Victimized Pendle
ton Merchants was Arrested
at Boise Last Night
WOMAN IS SAID TO
BE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE
Sheriff Whs Certain That Man Hud
Left for Boise und Wired to Idaho
OITUvrs to le on Ixiokoiit Will
Bring Young Criminal Back to This
City.
Louis Livingston, the forger who
victimized nearly a dozen of Pendle
ton's leading merchants Wednesday
afternoon by passing bogus checks up
on them, enjoyed the fruits of his
crime but a few hours. A telegram
was received late last night by the lo
cal officers that the man had been
captured in Boise and Sheriff T. D.
Taylor left on the early train this
morning to bring him back.
ft seems that the sheriff was al
most certin that the man would land
in Boise, having received information
which led him to that conclusion. It
was known that he took the Walla
Walla train out Wednesday evening
but th's did not shake the sheriff's
belief. He wired to the officers at '
Boise to be on the lookout, and, true
to predictions, Livingston walked In- j
to the net.
Livingston had been about the city ,
for the past six weeks coming here
from Salt Lake City. He secured em-'
ployment with the city water works
and later, when the pipe l'ne to the'
asylum was started, was given a Job
by Contractor George Sutherland. This !
Job he held until last Monday when
he quit. i
Woman In Case.
It is rumored about that there was
n tloman at the bottom of the young
man's crime. It Is said he was infat- j
uated with her and was led to his for
geries by this infatuation.
Livingston, while he . was here, '
boarded most of the time with Walter i.
Wills and the officers secured a com- '
plete description as well as a picture
ot the young man from Mr. Wells. i
Sheriff Taylor will probably arrive ;
with his prisoner on No. 17 tomor
row, i
L. Muses proprietor of the Work
lngmen's Clothing company, and
Geary Taylor, head clerk at the Bos-
ton Store, deny that their establish- 1
ments were victimized. Taylor states ;
that some of his friends put up a Job j
on him which was responsible for the.
report circulated about him taking a
had check. I j
The apprehension of Livingston 's i
another feather In the head-dress of
Sheriff Taylor. His success In run- '
:ilng criminals to earth Is almost un- .
broken. Charles Bond states that
since he has been In business he hasj
been victimized twelve times by bad'
check artists and that every one has
been captured by Sheriff Taylor and
all but one before the money secured
had been spent.

BAILEY AND PERRY
RETIRE FROM SUIT
TWO OF ST. DENNIS BOYS
DISMISS THEIR ACTION
New Dcevlttpmcnt In Famous ' Law
Suit Jerry and Nelson St. Dennis
Want Suit Dismissed Joe Experi
ences Change of Mind.
Today marked another development
in the famous St. Dennis-Watts case
which has involved three lawyers in
an Investigation by their associates
and it now seems as if the suit Itself
will never be threshed out in court.
Two of the four plaintiffs have had
the suit dismissed as far as they are
concerned, while a third Is ready to
take similar action. The fourth,
Joe (Peno) gt. Dennis, came to Pen
dleton with the intention of doing
likewise, but it is assumed that a
Lttle whiskey and a little button-hole
persuasion made him change his
mind. He has therefore been given
until May 13 to secure a new attor
ney and to make further appearance
in court.
Bailey and Perry Retire.
Attorneys D. W. Bailey and J. B.
Perry are no longer connected with
the prosecution of the su:t. For rea
sons of their own .they introduced a
motion in court this morning asking
permission to withdraw and their mo
tion was granted.
A Change of Mind.
The three St. Dennis boys, Jerry,
Joe and Nelson, came to the city this
morning with the intention of asking
that the suit against Homer I. Watts
be dismissed. Soon after reaching
the city, however, it is claimed, Joe
began drinking and his speech and
manner in court certainly bore out
this claim. Just before going into
court he encountered Attorney J. B.
Perry, who had Just filed a motion
of withdrawal from the suit. Accord
ing to St. Dennis' own statement,
Perry advised him to stay in the suit
as there was more money In it.
Therefore, when his two brothers
asked that the suit be dismissed, he
declared his intention of prosecuting
it. When asked by Judge Phelps if
he had not signed a motion for dis
missal and another for a change of
attorneys, he stated that, if he had,
he must have been drunk at" the
time. The Judge thereupon gave him
until May 13 to secure another at
torney and to appear in court for fur
ther action. j
Thomas Breden, the fourth plain
tiff in the suit, was also cited to ap
pear in court on that date but the
general sentiment is that he wishes
the suit dismissed. Attorney Homer
I. Watts declares he has in his pos
session certain sums which he is
ready to turn over o the four chil
dren of Breden as soon as the court
appoints a guardian.
