TAc0MAS WATER FRONT WAR.
Quarreiing SteYedoring Firms Delay the
Departure of The City of
Madras

TACOMA, WASH, April 5.-For nine
days the City of Madras, under charter to
load a cargo OF lumber for Callao, has
been lying at the Tacoma Mill Company's
wharf ready to load and with the lum Der
on hand ready to be loaded,
but until this afternoon not a stick
has gone into her hold, all because
of war between two stevedoring
firms from Port Townsend. Barneson &
Chilcat until two years ago, practically
had control Of the field at Port Townsend,
and with agents here, captured the lum-
ber-loading trade. Jones e. Rothchild
have been aking inroads on the
monopoly, and the feeling has become
intensely bitter.
When the Madras arrived Jones & Roth.
child appeared with a stevedoring con-
tract made with the owners of the vessel.
Bartlett d Steeb, local agents for Barne-
son d ChiIcat, claimed the right 10 load
the vessel under contract from the Ia.
coma Mill. The captain would not allow
them to load and the Tacoma Mill would
not let Jones & Rothchild touch its lum-
Der. The deadlock caused high times on
the water front and several personal en-
counters between employees of the rival
concerns, but no one was badly hurt.
To-day Bartlett & Steeb produced an
other and later contract with the owners
OF the vessel permitting them to load.
Then the captain gave in. Jones & Roth
child now say they will libel the ship.

Los Angeles Humane Officers KW En-.
6eavor to Check the Cruel Chinese
Custom

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April Sat least
one Chinaman in this city has ascertained
that he cannot do what he pleases even
with his own offspring. Wong 81 Hong,
one of the most influential merchants in
Chinatown, was arrested this morning by
Humane Officer Clark, charged with cru
city to children. For some time past the
officers have repor ed to Clark that Wong
was in the habit of binding the feet of his
children. and as the operation appeared
to be painful one they believed some
thing should be done to put stop to it.
The officer visited Wong's place to-day
and there saw two little Chinese girls, one
Z and the other 8 years of age, whose feet
had been encased and bound in pieces OF
stout cloth, which held them in a COM
pressed position and prevented their
natural growth. Shoes and stockings in
closed the material over the feet. Clark
took charge of the children and arrested
Wong. The police surgeon will pro baby
be called on to pass judgment as to the
effect OF the binding PROCESS on the feet
If Clark succeeds in .convicting Wong it
will prove a sad blow to that particular
Chinese custom.

CAPITAL CITY LABOR PROTEST..
Governor Budd's Attitude Toward the
State Printing Office Scored by the
the Federated Trades,

SACRAMENTO. CAL, April Sat a
regular meeting of the Federated Trades
Council of Sacramento this evening the
following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, Strenuous efforts were made dur
ing the last session of the Legislature by in
terested and unprincipled partiess-the enc
mics of labor-to disable and abolish
the State Printing Office, an institu-
ton which employs large number OF
union men; and whereas, in pursuance
against Safe Printer A. J. Johnston, who has
always been the answering friend or organ
lied labor; aud whereas, the Legislature IN its
wisdom appointed joint special committee,
investigate said charges, and efter a
thorough and exhaustive investiga-
ton brought in @ report complete
Johnston from all the charges, and which is
appended hereto and made part of these reso-
lutions. 1.-The Il testimony has been very full,
and much time has been devoted to this hear
ing. And, having given the whole subject
careful cous deration. we are OF the opinion
that the Office OF superintendent of State
Printing has been conducted on busi-
ness principles and with economy and
due regard Tor the public interests !;
and whereas, Governor James II. Budd, having
arrayed himself against organized labor, has
shown it by his high-handed action in prac-
tically closing the State Printing Office by
veioing The appropriation Tor It's maintenance
and throwing out of employment more Than
two hundred union men; therefore be it
Reso.ved, That Sacramento Federated Trades
Council, representing the trades and labor
organizations OF this locality, views with
alarm this uncalled-for and unjust attack
upon organized labor by the chief executive of
this great State; be 1t further
ResolUed, That this council condemns in un-
measured terms the cowardly blow struck at
our fellow co-workers in the only public in
stitution in the State which employs union
labor and pays union wages, and this council
herewith appeals 10 every wage-earner in this
me IN n
workers in the State Printing Office, in ordeT
that this issue will forever assert the dignity
OF labor and teach q wholesome lesson to our
calumnia tors and detractors.
Resolved, That this council urges upon ali
sister organizations throughout the State the
necessity of prompt, vigorous and aggressive
action, as the ''injury OF one is the concern oil
alp and the autonomy of our organization
must be maintained from all attacks.

SANK TO THEIR
EARS IN SL|CKENS
Two Shasta County Men
Escape a Horrible
Death.
Become Mired in a Shiny Bog
and Are Engulfed Inch
by Inch.
Pass a Night of Torture, and Are
Discovered When Only Their
Heads Are in Sight.

REDDING, CAL, April 5.-MichaeI Nc
CrelIan and Michael Gleason of Jackass
Flat. this county, have no fault to find
with Providence today. Were they given
to prayer. the two Michaels would have
spent much of the time since early Sunday
morning on their knees pouring out their
thanks for deliverance from horrible
death. But they have not yet recovered
from the awful suspense and torture expe-
rienced when one sees the end of his career
approaching and is powerless to escape;
when he cries out In anguish and there is
none to hear his shrieks and rescEe him.
For hours these men suffered mental and
physical anguish, and that they are alive
is due to one of the strokes of rare good
fortune which come to few creatures on
earth.
McCrellan and Gleason were returning
home Saturday evening from their liba-
tions at a neigh boring winery and, being
somewhat confused as to their bearings,
they wandered uncohsciously into the red
sllckens Of the Valentine Chapman re-
straining dam in Jackass Gulch. The red
slickens were sticky as mud and treach-
erous as quicksand, and they could not
extricate themselves unaided. The more
they struggled the deeper they sank.
They were held as though in a wise.
Throughout the night the two men, So
bered by the appreciation OF their danger,
raised their voices in frantic cries for as
sislance, but none were near to hear them.
Slowly they sank into the treacherous
mire. 1t reached their waists; and their
lower limbs became benumbed by the
pressure. The hours passed until the
dawn OF the Sabbath day began to Tighten
the east, and the red mass had risen until
only their heads and shoulders remained
above ii. 1t seemed to the men as though
the tentacles of a monster octopus had en-
cIrcIed their chests. They breathei in
gasps, and horrible pains shot through
their bodies. They had given up hope of
a rescue, and their half-stifled cries were
less frequent.
At 6 o'clock the men had sunk in the
slickens until only their heads were free.
1t became only a QUESTION. of minutes
when their torture would be at an end.
The demijohn of liquor which they car
ried had long before disappeared from
view, and was finding Its way to. the bot
tom of the Shiny mass.
Suddenly McCrelIan and Gleason heard
a shout. Mr.. Cha pman had arisen from
bed earlier than was his wont on Sunday
mornings, and had gone for a stroll down
TO the dam. He saw the heads of the two
unfortunates sticking up above the bed of
slickens. Shouting to let them know that
relief was at hand, he dashed back for as
slstance. Planks were laid above the red
dist bog. and ten minutes later Nc Crellan
and Gleason had been dragged by willing
hands from their loathsome prison.
The two men are still dazed from the ir
hsir-raisng experience, and neither has
SO far recovered his equanimity as to sug-
gest to the other that they resume their
libations where they suddenly came to an
end,

MO WINE At communion.
Pastor Rice of the Los Angeles UNIVERSAL
isf church Announces an
Innovation

LOS ANGELES, April 5.-The vine cup
and the wine were forever alb ,lished at the
Los Angeles Universa.ist Church yester-
day, and those who participated in the
comm union service were served with
prayer alone. Rev. A. A Rice, the pas.
tor announced this innovation, and it was
a surprise to his congregation. The pas
tor was emphatic in his stand.
Rev. Mr.. Rice said he did not believe in
passing wine around among his conerega-
ton, and Christians rywhere agreed
with him that such course might be the
cause of placing temptation in the way OF
those reformed from the drink habit.
Even the cup containing water, passed
from lip to lip as symbol only. M g bit
carry on its brim the deadly microbe.
The split, not the letter of the law, was
what tine teachings of Christ intended
man should follow, and, as the passing OF
the cup was merely acting the letter Of a
law, ii was better to do away with it alto
gether than to sacrifice the spirit. So
there will be no more wine served at Mr..
Rice g church.

BICYCLE PATH TO SAN JOSE.
Garden CITY Wheefmen Favor the Con.
struction of the Proposed Course
From Oakland

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 5-The project
on loot among some of the prominent
wheelmen of this city, Oakland and San
Francisco to construct wooden bicycle
path between San Jose and Oakland is
favorably looked upon by cyclers. A San
Jose contractor has given an estimate on
the work and offers to build the path for
Sl100 mile.
The distance to Oakland over the pro-
posed route is about fifty miles. This
would make the cost $55, coo. The pro-
jectors believe that %. 600 bicycle riders in
and about San Francisco and Oakland
would subscribe 81 80 or 81 each; that
there are 5000 wheelmen in this county
who would aid the fund; that the wheel
men along the line of the path would also
assist, so that if the matter is properly
presented the project may be carried to a
successful result

Was Illegal

RIVERSIDE CAL. April 5.-Judge
Noyes of the Supreme Court of this county
handed down decision to-day that is of
the utmost importance TO many irrigation
districts in this State which have been
organized under the Wright law. The
decision concerned the bonds OF the Per-
ris Irrigation District. Landowners re-
fused to pay the tax levied TO pay the in
terest on the $3.50, 0,0O0 worth of bonds OF

join the collector of the district from
enforcing the collection of the tax.
The court rules that the entire issue and
delivery of the bonds was illegal and that
the tax as assessed by the district officers
to pay the interest on these bonds is also
illegal. The injunction was sustained.
The case will be appealed.

OREG0N,S POLITICAL FEUD.
Cause for the Delay in Seating Banker
corbett in the United States
Conoto

PORTLAND, Or, April 5.-J. Thorburn
Corbett to Washington, returned to Port
land last evening.
when we first reached Washington, !"
remarked Mr.. Ross, I'VE encountered a
very unkindly sentiment with reference
to the seating of Mr.. Corbett. This we
soon discovered to arise from the fact that
false reports had reached the Senators, as
well as the Eastern press, with reference
to the contingency that rendered it in
cumbent upon Governor Lord to make
the appointment.
First we learned that the Legislature
of Oregon was held up in order that Mr..
Corbett might succeed MIR. Mitchell.
Another report which reached u.s. and
which we had much difficulty in running
down for the purpose OF changing the
public sentiment, was that Mr. Mitchell,
before the adjournm ns of the Legislature,
had, with his following, submitted ten
tirst-class names for that body to select
from, with the notice that the ex-senator
would withdraw from the field.
This was news TO us, and while we
placed no credence in the report, we wired
to Senators Simon, Selling and Mackay
for enlightenment upon this point. Their
reply was that no such measure OF COM
promise had come from the Mitchell
forces. but that, on the contrary. the an IL
Mitchell membe of the House and
Senate had made advances of that nature,
which were repulsed.
This telegram | exhibited to Senator
Hanna and several OF his colleagues, and
their sentiment with respect to the seat
ing of Mr.. Corbett at once underwent q
radical change"
Mr.. Ross added that if the tariff debates
prevented the seating of Corbett during
the current special session, he would Sc.
cure the recognition due him in De.
cember.

UNOONE BY LOVE
FOR A WIDOW FAIR
Rancher Orth of Petaluma
Gets Into Jail at Los
Angeles.
Arrested on Complaint of the
Woman With When H.
Had E.oped.
She Takes Revenge VIII D He Lsaves
Her 10 Return to HIS Wife
and Child.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 5.-If
Rancher Nicholas Orth of Petaluma had
needed the admonition of the senior
Weller to his son Samivel to "bevare Of
the vidders,' he would doubtless be a far
happier man than he is tonight. Mrs.
Magdalena Pickelhoff is grass widow
and was near neishbor of benedict Orth,
who has a wife and several children
on a chicken ranch near Petaluma.
The aforesaid widow was fair to look upon,
and in an evil hour Orth left home, wife
and children and little farm TO see the
world with the bewitching widow.
He is now in Jail here, charged with
grand larceny. and Mrs. Pickelhoff is the
planning witness. Orth attempted TO
"shaKe" the widow and she retaliated.
This is the unromantic sequel to very
gay, romantic and speedy time.
Orth and Mrs. Pickelhoff left Petaluma
on January IA and went to San Francisco.
After doing San Francisco the pair, pass
ing for husband and wife, boarded a
steamer and went to San Diego. They took
weeks worth of climate there and then
came to Los Angeles. Their pace had
about burned up their money, and Orth
says he was seized about the same time
with feeling of remorse. and began lying
awake nights thinking of his family and
little ones away up in Petaluma. He
wanted to 60 home.
In February Orth parted with the inter-
esting widow and left her home. and she
did not hear anything more from her
missing friend. The lady grew angry at
being tritied with in this fashion and
swore to complaint charging Orth with
theft. The warrant was issued from JUS
tice Youngs court. Word was received
some days ago that Orth was at Petaluma
with his family, SO Deputy Sheriff Barn
| hill was sent with the warrants. Barnhill
lost no time in apprehending Orth and
| bringing him to this city.
The prisoner arrived yesterday and was
arraigned before Justice Young this
morning on q grand-larceny charge, and
his examination set fer tomorrow, bail
being fixed at $1,000 This Orth could not
supply, and he was remanded to the
| County Jail.

5.-This week promises to be favora ble

track candidates an abundance of exercise
this week, but none of them will be al
lowed to do their best in the evenings

PORTLAND CHINESE SELL A GIRL.
Pretty All Lum Lee WISHES to Marry q
Christian, bUt Her Parents De-
c.de Otherwise.

PORTLAND, Or, April 5-A curious
tale was uniolded in Judge Sears court
this m orning iii the case of Ah Lum Lee,
a.nineteen-year-old miss, who was habeas
corpused out of Chinatown prison by a
citizen with benevolent and humane ircli-
nations, and then voluntarily went back
again 10 the owners of her BODY and soul.
All Lum Lee is as bright, neat and
pretty Chinese girl as one would want
to see. She is we'll educated, talks Eng
lish well, and is. or was up to a few days
ago, as Hberty-loving in her way as an
American girl. Lee Won Cow and his
wife are the girls uncle and wife, and
they were trying 10 force her to marry a
countryman OF their own selection, who
offered $500 for her.
Lum Lees heart it seems was set upon
another, and she stormed and refused to
consent to marrying heathen. Cow and
his wife imprisoned her in their apart
ments and subjected her to q vigorous
course of treatment, calculated to restore
her to reason and bring her to listening to
them.
Lum Lee was ''game," and though shut
up in pen and poorly fed she defied them
and said she would marry Christian
Chinaman, who is a cook in this city, OF
else would die.
The news OF Lum Lees imprisonment
came to the ears of w. B. Millar on Sat-
urday. Taking pity on the oppressed
Chinese girl he determined to invoke the
law in her behalf.
Lum Lee made quite an impression in
the courtroom when she was placed on
the stand and told her story. She SAID
that her uncle and aunt had been trying
10 compel her to marry heather. She
wanted TO marry Christian. Since the
trouble came up she had learned, she
said, that the man they wanted her tC
marry was not a heather after all.
He was good Christian and worshiped
the right and only God. This was the sole
exclamation offered for her change ot
mind. She consented, she said, TO marry
according to her relatives wishes, since
the proposed husband was not an idol
worshl per. 1t was scarcely satisfactory
but it had to go all the same, and the
court had nothing left to do but dismiss
the writ.
