Hun Francisco, Aug. It. A fino of

tho case of Attorney H. C. Ramsay,

Caininetti, who was found guilty Sat

Oral notice of appeal was given and tho
defendant was released on $300 bonds.

snap his camera on the party of Maury
Diggs at tho conclusion of Friday's
court hearing of tho whito slave trial
when Higgs and liamsay closed in on
him and struck his caineru from his
hands.
In passing sentence tho court grilled
Hamsey severely for his broach of the
law. He said:
"This easo is greatly aggravated by

I'iggs will be the first witness to take
tho stand here tomurrow wdien the
case in which he is defendant on a

Federal .lodge Van Fleet, is called.
That Diggs will take tho stand pre
pared to tell everything and that if
pressed too hard, he may attempt to
shift some of Ihe responsibility for the
downfall of Miss Marsha Warrington to
prominent Sacramento men, is a report
in circulation at the federal building
horn today. Whether such a threatened
revelation would be allowed by Judge
Van Fleet is questioned.
I'iggs' whole story, it is understood,
will tend to show that the two young
men ilid not take tho girl to Bene for
i 1 1 1 tu o in 1 purposes, but were driven to
leave by threats of exposure.
I'iggs, Caininetti and several friends
last night attended a local theatre and
there saw moving pictures of the triul
scenes. I'iggs wus highly incensed and
declared it was au outrage. He started
to interview the theatre management,
but was poniuadod to leave by one of
his attorneys who was with him.
While I'iggs was making his protests,
someone pointed out a big policeman
nearby, The officer eame toward the
party, and I'iggs, who knew that a
warrant was out for his arrest charging

cooled off. "I guess I'm cuught this

SALEM, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 18,
Daily Conferences Are Being
Held by Commissioner of
Mediation Board.
PUBLIC MOST CONCERNED
Realized Tieup of . Lines in Oregon,
California, Nevada and Elsewhere
Would Be Disastrous.
(united rimsa lxasicd wire.
Han Francisco, Aug. IS. Daily con
ferences are being held hero by Com
missioner Hanger, of tho United States
board of mediation and conciliation in
connection with the threatened .strike
of trainmen on the lines of the Southern
Pacific company.
Shippers and the traveling public
aro awaiting the outcome with appre
hension, realizing the enormous losses
that would bo inflicted on California,
Oregon and other states if tho men
should walk out.
When tho Newlnnds act was passed
by congress, it was hoped that a meth
od had been found for tho peaceful so
lution of industrial conflicts and the
prompt action of the president, William
Sproulo, of the Southern Pacific, in ap
pealing to tho government temporarily
reassured "the M.sop)e that they would
not be mudo to suffer because of a dis
pute to which they were entirely inno
cent parties.
It is to be hoped that Commissioner
linger will succeed in bringing both to
gether. Ily offering to mediate and ar
bitrate, the railroad ha.s gone on record
us recognizing that tho intentd of the
public in transportation is greater thun
that of either carrier or employer.
Commenting on this subject last year,
the board of arbitration on tho engin
eer controversy in the east, said:
"It is evident that for a great sec
tion of tho United States a railroad
strike can no longer bo considered as a
mutter which primarily affects the rail
road operators and employes. It does
affect them and affects them seriously,
but the public is fur more deeply con
cerned. Indeed the interest of the
public so far exceeds those of tho par
ties to a controversy as to render the
former pnnttnouiit. To this paramount
interest both railroad operators and em
ployes should submit. It is therefore
imperative that some other way be
found to settle differences between rail
roads ii.d their employe than by
strikes. '
Favored by Bot'.t Sides.
Presidents (larretson and Lue, of tho
National organization of the Order of
Hail way Conductors and the 1.1 .utile r
hood of Bailroud Trainmen, which arc
the same organizations as those involv
ed in the Southern Pacific, dispute on
July 21, writing on the tie-up that was
threatened in the east, said to the board
of mediation that the Newlauds act,
under which tho Southern Pacific has
appinled, was framed fur the employe
as well as the employers. Part of the
letter read:
"There never has been a time when
we had even the remotest idea that tho
Newlauds act, governing arbitration,
wus enacted for the benefit only of the
employe. .On the cotitiary we recog
nize the right of every railway to in
voke its provisions nt tho proper time
and in the proper manner, but we will
certainly not concede that the employer
has the right to sweep Rxido all the

The I 'oit In n .1 , Fiigene & F.iistern has
done a good and wise thing in taking
the Portland newspaper men on a trip
through the valley, and it will do well
to carry the idea further and show them
tho whole west side from Portland to
Ashland. All of us Orngoiiinns, newspa
per men as well as the bulanco of the
citizens, are woefully ignorant of our
own state. Wo havo "oeen hero so long
that wo havo grown accustomed to our
surroundings and unnpprcciativo of
them. The trip just completed by the
newspaper men as guests of tho P. K &
E. is highly educational, and will bear
good fruit.
The special train carrying tho news
paper representatives arrived hero Sun
day an hour ahead of timo, owing to
tho fact that an hour was supposed to
bo spent ill Albany, but the citizens
there concluded that it was best in view
of certain troubles in Oregon City over
a Sunday circus, not to havo any pub
lic reception of the visitors, and so they
cumo on to Salem, arriving here about
Il:d0, when they were not expected un
til Ii!:;i0. However, as soon as it waB
learned they had arrived a delegation
from the commercial club hunted them
up and found them ut the Marion. They
were taken to the handsome club rooms
where after a half-hour getting lie
ipiaiuted everybody assembled in the
spacious club room and an informal
formal reception was given them. With
Judge P. II. D'Arcy presiding, some
very bright and interesting, though nec
essarily brief talks were innde, John
Siegmuud, as acting mayor, welcomed
them aud in a few well chosen words
turned the city over to them. Then
visitors and Saleinites were culled upon
for brief talks and an hour was spent
profitably in the exchange of views as
to the needs of the state. After the
feast of reason and flow of ideas, there
was a splendid lunch served and busi
ness was still further discussed, and'
ideas advanced, tallied over. Then
lime cigars and all boarded the Indus
so generously provided by Snlem ' wide

taken out to the asylum and prison;
then after a quick trip through the city
