Vancouver, B. C, June 6. The first

workingmen who quit work yesterday
In response for a general strike to en
forco close shops, following tho trouble
with the carpenters union. The an

haven't participated on account of a
signed agreement that would involve
them in serious trouble with the In
ternational unions.
The bakers, waitresses and cooks
remain working In the pluees which
are classed as fair. So far there is no
evidence of disorder and no special
measures will bo taken In anticipa
tion of disorder.
The street car men turned down the

persons were drowned In Utah Lake
yesterday when the launch Galilee, on
which 16 persons were attending a
party given In honor of the approach
ing marriage of Miss Vera Brown and
Edward B. Holmes capsized. Among
the drowned were the engaged couple
and two other children of Captain
Frank Brown owner of the launch.
The drowned:

Captain Brown.
EDWARD B. HOLMES, clerk.

SHERWOOD ' RAYMOND, his 5
year old son.
All of the victims of the accident
lived in Salt Lake City. Up until a
lute hour last night but one body,
that of Miss Vera Brown had been
recovered. Her body was taken from
the water by her father and lashed
by him to the mn.t of tho boat.
The party left Geneva on the east
shore of the lake at 9 o'clock this
morning and headed west. About an
hour later the launch was struck by
a sudden siiall. turned sideways to
the wind and almost Instantly all of
the 16 persons aboard were thrown
Into the water. The boat turned over

sister struggling In the water and
went to her assistance. He was ex
hausted when he reached her and she
was completely vcorn out and had giv
en up the struggle. Her brother
caught her, but the chill of tho water
had so benumbed them both that
they were helpless and they sank to
gether. Some young men, of Provo, Utah,
who were trying out a new sailboat,
were attracted by the cries of the sur
vivors, who had finally succeeded in
laying bold of the upturned Galilee
and went to their rrcseue as rapidly
as possible. They succeeded in suv-

Body ot Man Horrib'y Muti
lated Found on Railroad
Track East of Pendleton
IDENTIFIED BY LETTERS
AS VICTOR POIIL
It ,1m Supposed That Unfortunate Man
Fell from No. 0 While Beating His
Way and Was Instantly Ground to
Death Body brought to Local
Undertaking Purlors.
With the trun ksevered In two Just
above the hips and a large wound in
the head, the body of a man supposed
to be Victor Pohl was round across the
O.-W. R. & X. track at mile post No.
24 2 eleven miles cast of Pendleton
this morning by the crew of extra
freight train No. 37". It is supposed
that he fell from No. 6 while beating
his way and was !nsta"htly ground
to death beneath the wheels of sev
eral coaches.
A baggage check belonging to the
Rowland Bros., Transfer Co. of Eu
gene found in a pocket leads to the
belief that he was In the university
recently and there Is positive proof
that he was in Springfield, three miles
from Eugene, nt least two weeks of
last month. Three money order re
ceipts were found among the papers
In his pockets dated at Springfield,
two on May 5 and one on May 20.
They were for the several amounts
of $6, 1125 and $10 but there is noth
ing on the receipts to show to whom
or where the money was sent. Com
munication will be made with the
Springfield postoffice to determine
these facts so that the identity of the i
dead man can bo established without '
a doubt. j
There !s but little doubt, however,
hut that the victim's name was Vic- j
tor Pohl as a number of letters and j
inner papers nave mat name on mem.
One nf the letters was sent to him at
Wl'snll, Montana and contained an
application blank from the U. S. for
estry service.
Brought In on Speeder.
Upon being notified of the tragic
accident, Deputy Coroner Joe H.
Parkes left on a speeder with Sulli
van, on,- of the railroad signal ser
vice men and returned about 10
o'clock with the body, which is now
at the Folsom undertaking parlors.
An inquest may be held later but it
Is probably that it will be unneces
sary as all evldenees point to acci
dental death. Deputy Coroner Parkes
believes that one of the springs on
the brake blocks of one of the coach
es gave way and caused the accident
as a part of the spring was found i
alongside the body. Inasmuch ns
No. 6 was about 10 minutes late out
of Pendleton, the accident must have
happened about 6 o'clock.
The victim was a young man, tall
and rather heavy set. He wore a
suit of bfaek clothes with overalls
drawn over his trousers. Inasmuch
as his clothes were soiled and his
face black with grime, there can be
no doubt but that he was beating h's
way when ho fell.
Agent T. F. O'Brien has telegraphed
all of thi' facts to the Portland head-
inarters of the railroad company and
i , i'f,,rt will be made from there to
learn the
tives.

LAFFERTY'S ATTEMPT
FUTILE FOR PRESENT
Representative A. W. Lafferty's
bill to take the present federal court
away from Pendleton and to establish
a regular eastern Oregon district with
headquarters at Baker will not be
passed at the present session of
congress und the fears of local people
are allayed for the time being. This
comforting news was contained in a
message received this afternoon by
Secretary Keefe of the Commercial
club from Senator George Chamber
lain in answer to a communication
asking the status of the bill.
The Commercial association and
members of the bar are very pleased
at this information for they will have
an opportunity to prepare convincing
statistics showing why Baker should
not be made the federal court center
over Pendleton and they believe that
this delay will sound the death knell
of what Uiey declare to be an atteaipt
of Lafforty to pay a political debt.

OTHER MATTERS ARE
ANTAGONISTIC TO MIX
Root Has An Amendment That. Won Id

Removed by Canada.
Washington, June 5. That Presi
dent Taft is seriously worried over
the outlook in the senate for tho Ca
nadian reciprocity bill Is believed
here. His administration friends ad
mit that the prospect Is discouraging.
The senate is including some adher
ents of Taft on other matters which,
is antagonstis to he bill. Root ha
an amendment that would prevent
the free entry of wood pulp and print
paper until all restrictions affectlnj
these products are removed by Can

it would be the first of a ssrlea of
amendments that would change th
bill. He wants the Root amendment

he asked the publishers to instruct
their Washington correspondents to
treat the reciprocity bill favorably In

press association newspapers wer
given both sides of the reciprocity.
Senator McCumber shouted that It
was false. Stone strongly objected
to such language and then Senator
Bailey got McCumber to u'e the word

PORTLAND ELECTION
BEING HELD TODAY
Portland, Ore., June 5. With
Mayor Joe Simon. Independent, up
for election backed by the businesi
interests, A. G. Rushlight, the repub
lican primary i . . m : i i . . e and George
Thomas, democrat, it is xpecte.l that
a large vote will be poiied at the mu
nicipal election today. Helling fav-
I nn mere are live candidates in
j the field, the real contest id conceded
to be between A. G. Rushlight, re
publican I rimary nominee for may
or, and Joseph Simon the present
mayor, who seeks to be returned to
office as an independent republican.
George H. Thomas is making the rac
en the democratic ticket and Charles
II Otten on tile socialist. Thomas, it
is believed will noil a number of vote
e.(tial to the democrat registration,
which is approximately :..ouo. while
the prediction by 'he socialists that
Otten will poll the heaviest vote ever
cast for a socialist candidate in Port
land is generally believed to be well
grounded. J. Allen Harrison is the
nominee of the prohibitionists.
Opposition to Rushlight In the pri
maries was so bitter that bis adver
saries refused to abide by tho prim
ary election, and when the defeated
candidate. Gay Ioiii'iard. declined to
continue the tight as p.n Independent
candidate, the anti-Rushlight faction
centered on Mayor Simon as leader.
Simon is a pastmaster in the game of
politics and a man of wonderful re
sources who for a generation lias but
once losi a race for office.
Rushlight, however, has the prestige
of a primary nomination besides be
ing the avowed candid :te of organ
b'ed labor, whose estimated strength
b approximately fi.ioiii votes. Ttw
registration in Portland is oT,655 and
ii Is expected that owing to the In
terest aroused a very l.irg proportion
of the qualified electors will appear
at the polls today.
In gome churches, when the mem
bers are tired of a pastor, they don't
tell him so, but "talk" about "him.
