STRIKING TRANSFERS
IN TOLEDO DISORDERLY
Talk of Calling on the Governor to
Send Troops.

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 1O.-After
Iour successive attacks had been made
TO-DAY on non-union teamsters by strik-
ing men, member of the Toledo Cart
age association declared that he would
make application to Gov Nash to call
out the state militia to protect the as
soclat1on's men, in which case the
strikers declared a general strike would

died by the teamsters in any part of
the country.
The trouble began at noon when an
enraged mob of 900 strikers and sym
pathlzers followed truck through the
principal business streets, intending 10
pull from his place a non-union driver
They also attempted to do violence to
Manager Turner, of the Moreton Truck
company. In whirling around a cor

next instant the non union driver and
manager We're on the pavement. with
the mob on top of them. In the melee
the two objects of the attack ESCAPED
into restaurant, where mattresses
screened them from and defied the
bowling mob that was at their heels
until the police interfered. The police
escorted the fugitives to safety, but
then gave notice that any further
provocation given the strikers would
be the fault of the employers and they
would not interfere hereafter.
Later there came notice that an at
tempt had been made to throw a nom
union driver into the river, but had
been frustrated by the police. An hour
later another non-union driver was
torn from a truck in front Of the More
ton Truck -company's office, and at the
point of revolver was compelled to
run for his life. A similar fate befell a
non union tean1ster within a block of
the police station. Police Sergeant
Mepster, the only officer detailed to
watch the case, said the employers had
precipitated the affair by threatening
to brain any union teamster that at
tempted to climb on one of their trucks.

SENATOR MORGAN
GETS A CONCESSION
Spooner Act Is Attached to the Panama
Canal Treaty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10
Senator Morgan today secured the
first material concession given him by
the senate in connection with the
panama treaty. This consisted of an
agreement to attach the Spooner canal
act bodily to the treaty. This change
was in compliance with a request pre-
sented by Senator Lodge, at the execu-
tive session of the senate today, for
the necessity of it had been discussed
by Mr.. Morgan and other members of
the senate committee. 1t was stipu-
lated, however, that this concession did
not amount to an amendment of the
treaty.
Senator Morgan consumed the entire
time of the remainder of the closed
session discussing the canal question
from various points of view and going
over much ground he already had
covered. Most of his speech was writ
ten, and when Senator Cullom asked
him if the speech he was reading was
new one or an old one, he replied
with some manifestation of vexation
that it was new, adding that he did
not have to repeat his addresses.

DOCK BURNED BY
AN INCENDIARY
Large Quantity of Wheat Also
Destroyed,--Loss
100000.

PORTLAND, Or, March 10.-Vic-
toria dock, situated on the east bank
of the Willamette river, north of the
railroad bridge, was destroyed by fire
today, together with 10000 tons of
wheat and 1000 tons of salt stored on
the dock
The loss is 100000; insurance $780,
600. 1t is certain that the fire was
started by an incendiary, as q man was
seen leaving the dock after the fire
had gained some headway. The police
station was notified as soon as possi-
bic, but after an officer arrived on the
scene the man had disappeared. Three
times during the past fortnight fires
have been started on docks in this
city and it is supposed that the same
man is responsible for all of them
Several small houses near the dock
We're destroyed, the losses on them
aggregating $4,000. The losses in de-
tail are as follows:
Ten thousand tons of wheat owned
by the Northwest Warehouse company,
$250,O00, fully insured. Two thousand
tons of salt owned by T. NJ. Stevens &
Co., $4,000, fully insured. Victoria
dock, owned by E. w. Spencer, $685.
600, insurance $4,000 Flour, ma
chinery and other merchandise stores
on the dock, $4,000.
Canning, Wallace & Co., and Zan
Bros, wholesale houses, and the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation company's
Ash street docks are on fire. The loss
will probably be heavy.

In his first bill Senator Johnson pro-
vided for eight hour work shifts at the
insane institutions. This provision did
not meet with the unanimous approval
Of the nurses, and Senator Johnson
will this morning ask that the new
measure be substituted. In the new
bill no reference is made to the eight
hour shifts. The superintendents are
allowed to regulate the work time,
and the employees are to have raises in
their wages which will average S. per

ADOPT FRYBERGER'S PLAN
ADJOURN SINE DIE APRIL IS
House Committee Selects Bill
for Proposed Increase of
Railroads Gross Earnings
Tax-Staples Says Roads
Do Not WillfulIy Withhold
Returns.

The Fryberger bill for increase OF
the railroads gross earnings tax from
3 to per cent is the measure which
the house and senate win be asked to
submit for the peoples approval or re-
lection.
The Fryberger bill was adopted by
the house committee on taxes and tax
laws yesterday afternoon, after an ex-
haustive discussion of the four bills
pending and the railroads gross earn
ing tax question. The adoption of the
Fryberger bill in preference to all
others submitted is in the nature of a
distinct triumph for the young Min
neapollS lawyer, who had to fight for
ms measure against heavy odds.
The Fryberger bill originally provid-
ed for an increase of the gross earn
lngS tax, computed on the present ba-
SIS, and in addition thereto provided
for the assessment of railroad realty
for local improvements. Aside from
avoiding the feared entanglements that
might arise from change in the
method of computation, the bill makes
payment of all taxes due under the
present law a condition precedent to
the commencement of action in ap-
peal.
Special Assessment Dropped.
AS adopted by the committee the
bill is intact, with the single exception
of the special assessment clause, which
was stricken, at the request of the
more conservative members, who fear
ed 1t might rouse popular prejudice
ana result. in the measures rejection
by the people.
FrybergerS battle was not with the
committee, which quickly decided in
his favor after an executive session
was ordered, but with the authors of
other measures. Former Attorney
General George p. Wilson declared
that F'ryberger's bill would not do, and
advocated the adoption of his general
average plan of computation. which
Mr.. Staples, of the railroad and ware
house commission, afterward assured
the committee would result in a heavy
loss to the state.
Staples Resents False Report.
Incidentally Mr.. Staples delivered
solar plexis punch on the anatomy of
the public examiner, who has made
much capital out of the claim that the
railroad companies are wilIfully MAX
ing wrong returns in order to avoid
payment of their proper share of taxes.
Mr.. Staples suggested that it might
be we'll for some of the lawyers of the
house to draw provision exactly de-
lining gross earnings for taxation.
Continuing, he said:
Recently it has been widely re-
ported that the railroad companies are
willfully making wrong returns to
avoid payment of their just shares of
taxation. l wish to say most emphati-
cally that this is a mistaken state
ment. We are in doubt as to what
should be returned. There is no def
milton of gross earnings. The railroad
companies, the railroad and warehouse
commissioners and the attorney gen
eral of the state, as well, are unable
to decide just what returns should be
made"
