Green Also De clares There Is No Short age in His Accounts. JEALOUSY OF HIS WIFE Believes She Started to Story About His Having Departed With Woman of California. . . united PRB8S LEASED wibe. Portland, Ore., July 21. "There is no shortage in the accounts of the Pa cific Casualty Company; I did not leave San Francisco with another woman, and my wife is not destitute." This denial was made today by Ed mund F. Green, of San Francisco, for mer president of the casualty company, whose name has been mentioned in con nection with misuse of the company's money, and who was reported to have eloped to Portland with the woman not his wife, leaving Mrs. Green sick and without means. Green continued: "The report undoubtedly emanates from the unreasoning jealousy of my wife. So far as the statement that I came to Portland with another woman is concerned, tho fact is that coinci dcntly with my trip north, which, inci dentally, is in connection with the af fairs of tho casualty company, a woman of the highest character, and a family friend of Mrs. Green and myself of years of standing, traveled on the same train. That is absolutely all thore is to that. "I cannot give any reason for the charge that I am short in my accounts with tho company. Thore is not one iota of truth in such an assortion. T do not care who makes tho accusation, it is an untruth. The books of the com pany and tho general counsel of tho company will bear out my assertion." ' Explains Resignation. Green retired, he says, from the pres idency of the company about two months ago. When asked to explain the reason for his action he replied: "My resignation followed dissatis faction on the part of a syndicate which I was instrumental in forming, which purchased the control of tho company. This syndicate expected to resell at a figure higher than the pur chase price, but our plans failed to ma terialize. The members of the syndi cate, very naturally, blamed me, and, after Borne time passed, they decided that a new head for the company might be advisablo, and I at once tondcrcd my resignation. "There was, I am sorry to say, some feeling of soroness on the part of some of the members of the syndicate, who, had all been friends of mine, but tfis is the first intimation that I have heard that I had been accused of any wrongful act Hot Very Successful. "I am frank to admit that some of my acts in extending the field of oper ations of the company, as president of the company, were not financially suc cessful, and I am possibly to be criti cised for use of bad judgment. I can see now, where there were other mat ters in which judgment was involved, in which I erred, and for which I could, perhaps, be criticised, but as for any charges that I appropriated funds of the company to my own use, or used them in any other except in ft perfect ly legitimate manner, I flatly assert that I did not, and the statement thnt I did is an untruth" Mr. Green says that he still retains his Socialist Party Enters Protest Yelegram Sent to Wilson Regarding Seattle Rioting and Investigation Is Urged. iDNOTD rasa nun wiai.l . Los Angeles, CaL, July 21. The following telegram of protest was sent to president Wilson by Thomas W. Wil liams, secretary of the Socialist patty of California: "Socialism is opposed to violence, whether practiced by the mob or re sorted t by the government to sup press fres speech. The stability of government is threatened when employes take license from an intemperate speech of a su perior officer and endanger life and property. , "One million Americans believe in the red flag. It is the international! emblem, of peace and brotherhood. To deport all these will be a herculean task. "The disgraceful scenes in Seattle will do more to discredit our govern ment than alt the mouthings.of irre sponsibles. ' "We urge federal investigation and ask that you take immediate steps to prevent a recurrence of this deplorable inrfidont.

W. officials preparing to reopen their headquarters here, and enemies of the mayor urging that a recall be started against him for the failure of the police to suppress the riots, and his action in placing the city under riot law Saturday, there is a feel ing of unrest in some quarters today, but those at the head of the business interests of the city are demanding that everybody "forget it." , , "Its past and gone and why talk about it," is the general atttitude of those not involved. The Socialists demand an investiga tion, and the mayor has issued a long stntemont defending his action. He says that had it been some big depart ment store that was attacked, or a bank, there would not be so much tnk about hushing it up and thnt libraries and meeting places of the people must bo protected as much as the property of the wealthy. Why Socialists Kept Away. In explaining the attitddo of the po lice in holding off during the riots, the mayor says that this was done at the order of the chief of police, who decid ed that it would be betor to avoid bloodshed than prevent the destrhstion of proporty. The mayor upholds him in his decision. Saloonkeepers who defied the may or's closing order will be tried Bt the municipal court today. The Sunday Times appeared as usual land Colonol Blcthcn bitterly scored Cottcrjll for trying to prevent the pub lication of the Times Saturday and Sunday.

The Seattle Socialists plan to hold a protest and Indignation meeting at an early date, and may send a delogatlon to Washington to personally make thoir complaint against Secretary of the Na vy Daniels, who is blamed for inciting Friday night s riots by his red flag ad; dress the night before. Thoir claims for property damages will bo filed with the court of claims. " We have received warning from cer tain quarters," said Bruce Rogers, state lecturers for the socialists today, "that a concerted plan is being worked out to prevent us from staging our propos ed play, 'The Colonel and His Frionds,' a play ridiculing the editor of the Seat tle Times, at the Moore theatre next Sunday. We have been threatened and given notice that we must expect seri ous trouble from an organized mob of hired rowdies. But we are going to give the play, and no unlawful throats can stop us.''
