C A MFKC I7I1HM7 nirm TROUBLE iing Secretly To Cause Strikes At Principal United States Ports San Francisco, July 3. Startling j declarations that special agents of the I Herman imperial government have been working secretly here to bring about a; general strike of water front workers! in all of the large ports of the Pacific! coast were made by Deputy istato ! Labor Commissioner John Keane before I the delegates to the San Francisco labor eun. il, it was learned today.; Keane declared every effort has been made to tie up shipping along the Pa-1 eific coast to prevent the exportation! of munitions of war to the allies. According to Keane 's statements, the' longshoremen's union, of which he is, international vi e-presi.lent, has been! approached by men who offered fiu-i uncial aid to induce its members to go on a strike for better working condi-: Hons. Failing in this, Keano charges that the agents attempted to persuade i employers to force a lockout of the waterfront workers. t The identity of the agents who made the strike overtures to the local long shoremen is unknown but it believed that they are working in conjunction with representatives of the (lerman government hero and in New York,1 Keane said. lie added that while the grievances of the longshoremen's union were num erous, the organization had spurned all advances to strike under such circum-j stances. Federal authorities admitted today that they had heard agents had been) attempting to tie up shipping on the Pacific coast. Kfforts have been made to obtain positive evidence with which to prosecute the men engaged in the work. Sensational developments of the ease arc expected. jc jc jc )i ) sj jjc 3t 3jC SC )j 4:30 P. M.

The Russian flotilla of destroyers at tacked tho German squadron which was covering the debarkation of troops south of Wiiulan. Heavy damage was inflicted upon the small German boats and transports before several fast cruisers got into action and swooping down on the Russians, forced them to steam northward. Tho Albatross, a slow vessel unable to escHM when tho Russian destroyers attacked, received the concentrated fire of a majority of tho destroyers en gaged. The mine layer was struck 25 times. Her decks were littered with dead and wounded and when the vessel took firc sho was run ashore and beached nenr Fleereikan. The survivors, including the 71 wounded, were interned today at Roma and Gothn, Sweden. Reports from Stockholm today de clare a protest will be lodged with Rus sia for pursuing the Albatross into Swedish waters.

OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1915 Crank Says Financier Started War and Could Stop It If He Would PRISONER TOO DIGNIFIED TO TALK TO POLICE Banker's Wounds Not Serious Overpowers His Assailant Glencove, L. I., July 1). J, P. Mor. gnu wns shut at iiis home .here early today by an unidentified man, appar ently of German extraction. The would be assassin picked his way past the butler of the Morgan summer home, currying a revolver in each hand. He rushed immediately into the presence of the financier and niter a brief ex ch.Mige of words, opened fire. The re volver used was of .32 caliber. Morgan is known tu have been hit once, and servants iu the household are reported to have declured that two shots were effective. One bullet entered the groin and came out at the hip. The second, according to one . -rt, went wild. Hefore the would-be nssnssin could fire a third time, Mi. gun cloned in and grappled with his assailant. With the assistance of the butler the man was overpowered and disarmed, lie strug gled desperately to escape and succeed ed oueo in breaking away. He was re captured, however, before he could leave the house, and was tur I over to the police by Morgan employes in tho household. At police heailiuarters the prisuier, apparently a tramp, re fused to give his tin imc, his business or his home or furnish the police with any account of himself. .Noo'n after his ar rest toe police prepared to imt him through the third degree. Confirmation of reports from the Miirgan servants that the financier had been shot twice could not be obtained. It was stated that a report would bo made by the attending physicians at noon. J. i. Morgan is known throughout the world as America 'a financial king. He is the senior member the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., of New York, and of Moigau, (irenfell & Co., of Lon don. He Is also a director in numerous New Yurk financial corporations. Morgan was born in New York in lo7 and is tut? son of John i'ierpont Morgan, the former head of the Morgan interes's, who died in I II 1 3. He succeeded his father as the domi nating power in American financial af fairs. France and other Kurii.icsn pow ers turned to him to establish credits in this country for the purchase of munitions soon after tho Kiiropemi war broke out. In personal appearance Morgan hears a striking likeness to his late father. He is of huge frame, bis features are strongly lined and in his movements he constantly reminds those who were intimate with the senior Morgan of the financial king who preeoede.l him. lie appealed twice within last year before government investigating com mittees and testified as to the vast holdings of his firm and the numerous dictatorships which he held. Late in DM I Mmgan resigned as a director in numerous big eoiporations, following the probe made by the government into interlocking systems which had prevail ed in the financial world. The firm of Morgan k n. has figured prominently in utfaiis of New Yrk, New Haven, 4 Hartford railroad, and, in fact, in prac tu ally every big ui-.teni corporation. Morgan returned from Ixindou only a short time ago. where it was reported he bid lompleted anangeinents for the eataolishmcnt in the Fluted Stales f gigantic credit for the allies. As was the ce with bis father, the geneial public has known little of Mor gan except as a great, silent fa. tor In financial affairs.. Nevertheless, he Is not only the (iiian ial leader of this country, but a dominating figure in in ternational politic", owing to the im mense power who h rests in his hands. The general characteristics of M. gun are imi. h the same as thoe of his lute father. He has the gieutest aver sion to publicity. H is brus'pie of speech and manner, i onsistently refuses to receive interviewers and is seldom ween iu I'llhili'. He inherited his father's love for winks of art and ra'e relics. Only re ceiitlv suit has be.-o threatened by the state of Virginia t" recover fnsii Mor gan the will of Martha Wa-hington.
