MITCHELL WINS
IN PRIMARIES
Oregon Senator Scores Deci-
sive Victory Over Inde-
pendent Simon Ticket
FIGHT is SIGNIFICANT
Local Issues Are Ignored,
but Result Means Re-elec-
tiOn of the Incumbent

PORTLAND, Or, March 16.-The reg
ular Republican primary ticket sup
ported by the followers of United States
Senator John Mitchell won an over
whelming victory over the independent
ticket put in the field by the supporters
Of ex-United States Senator Joseph
Simon at the primary election to-day.
The Democrats had ticket, but most
of the followers of that party consid-
cred more harm could be done to the
Republicans by encouraging factional
strife, and voted with the Independents.
The result is of Importance, as it was
conceded that the loss of the Multno-
nah County party organization which
would follow defeat in to-day's prima-
ries would be severe blow to Senator
Mitchens chances of reelection in 1907,
and it was upon this point that the
fight hinged. Local issues cut little fig-
ure in the campaign and both factions
were a unit in the support of the pres
ent Federal administration.
The almost complete vote follows
Regular ticket. S421; independent, 5140.
The regular party organization is in
sured 10 delegates in the convention
out of a possible 129.

HOID-UPS BECOMING
FREQUENT IN UKIAH
Several Robberies Are Reported and
Officers Are Rounding Up All

UKIAII, March 16.-Hold-ups are be-
coming quite frequent In Ukiah, two
having occurred last night. 1t is
thought some San Francisco crook is
plying his vocation here. At about IL
o'clock Allen Aldrich, clerk in Caroth-
ers' cigar store, was held up by a
masked man and relieved of 80 cents
and his keys. He Immediately tele-
phoned to Carothers, who went to the
store and took the money out OF the
till While on his way home Will
Carothers was also held up. The high
wayman called to him to stop, but he
turned and fired his pistol at a figure
which was standing a few feet distant
and took TO his heels The thief had
probably watched CarOthers close the
store and concluded that one of them
would have the proceeds of the days
sales about his person.
Earl Jamison also had an experience
with a piekpQcket, having his vest
pocket cut and some money extracted
Citizens are becoming alarmed over
the frequency of the hold-ups and the
officers are rounding up all tramps.

STOP BUILDING
At SACR AMENTO
Contractors Decline to Ac-
cede to Demands of the
Plumbers and HOdcarrierS
EMPLOYERS ARE FIRM
Force the Issue as Other
Unions Contemplate Ask
ing for Increased Wages
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, March 16.-Nearly
800 union artisans connected with the
building trades are out of work as the
result of to-day's developments in the
labor troubles that have existed in this
city for several weeks. The difficulty
originated with the demand of journey
men plumbers for an increase of wages
to "a so a day and of hodcarriers to
81 a day. The employing plumbers
and plasterers, who belong to the
Builders Association, declined to ac-
cede to these demands and as con-
sequence work on many buildings was
suspended. Affairs had gone along IN
this fashion for several weeks, When
last night number of merchants, the
members of the Builders Association
and other employers Of labor organ
lied themselves into a Citizens ALI
ance, patterned after similar organiza-
tions in San. Francisco, Los Angeles
and other cities in the State. The Build
ers' Association this morning an
nounced that it's fight would hereafter
be conducted by the Citizens Alliance.
Coincidentally with this announcement
came an ultimatum of the employers
in the building trades to- their employees
that unless they desired to be employed
as individuals they must quit work.
The men refused to forsake their
unions and work in the building trades
ceased, except in the case of union
here and there where the order to quit
had not yet become effective. 1t is ex-
pected that in a day or two all me-
chanics in the building line will be out
of employment.
1t is stated that the issue was forced
at this time by the declaration, freely
made by union men, that other unions
besides the plumbers and hodcarriers
were contemplating asking for an in
crease in wages on June l, the union
men asserting that they intended to
ask only for the scale paid in other i'm
portant cities in the State.
To add to the complications, S. Mac
kie, a contractor and employer Of union
labor, who does not belong to the
Builders Association, brought suit
against the local architects, mill men
and supply houses, numbering in all
nearly eighty, alleging that they have
Disseminated against him by refusing
to furnish him their services or mate
rials He asks for $40, 900 damages, be-
sides an order of court to compel the
defendants to withdraw from what he
alleges is a conspiracy against him.
In a statement to-day A. A. Merry,
secretary of the Builders Association,
said it was proposed by the alliance
to determine whether three or four men
are to continue to dominate the build
ing industry of Sacramento.

to Discussing the Nomina-
tiOn for Major General
ALGER Is TO SPEAK
Senator QuarleS Lauds the
Presidents Friend For
aker Will Answer Charges

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Another
entire day of the Senate was devoted
to consideration in executive session of
the nomination of General Leonard
Wood to be major general. Senator

yesterday, occupied little more than
two hours. and was followed by SEN

ator Alger. formerly Secretary of War.
viii take fifteen or twenty minutes in
defense of General Woods executive
ability. He will speak from a personal
viewpoint. The military record and the
executive ability of General Wood
formed the subjects of Senator Ouarles'
remarks. He followed very closely the
testimony before the Military Affairs
Committee, and praised General Wood
for his, conduct in the Geronimo cam
patgn, the campaign against the
Apaches, the Spanish-American war
and the record he is now making in the
Philippines. No attention was paid by
Senator Quarles to the charges made
against General Wood, though he sug-
gested that in concluding tomorrow
he would attempt to show they had not
been proved after an exhaustive in
quiry by the Senate committee.
The Interruptions in the speeches to-
day were even fewer than yesterday.
Senator Foraker is depended upon by
the majority members of the Military
Committee to answer all charges that
have been made.
The Senate passed without discussion
the joint resolution authorizing the
President to negotiate with the Govern
ment of Great Britain TO secure a re-
view Of the regulations for the catching
of fur-bearing seals in Alaska, so as to
obtain an abatement of the killing of
female seals and thus preserve the seal

And IS ROBBED
Clever Faker Entices Woman

PreteXt and FleeceS Her
LOCKS VICTIM INSIDE
Theft Is elimination of a
Carefully Arranged Plot
to Make a Big Haul
Special Dispatch to The Cali.


Los ANGELES, March ia young
woman, whose name the police posi-
lively refuse to make public, was en-
ticed to room in the Cordova room
ing-house, S24 West Fifth street, this
afternoon by man. whose advertise
ment she had answered, robbed of $500
in gold and locked in the room while
the thief escaped. For half an hour she
pounded on the door before she at
tracted attention, and by the time she
was released the man who had robbed
her had disappeared. Not the slightest
trace of MIN or clew to his identity has
been discovered.
The robbery was the elimination of
a carefully arranged plot in which the
sharper hoped to secure other victims
He advertised in all the Los Angeles
newspapers for partner with $500,
promising IS per day and expenses to
a female partner, and the young
woman answered the advertisement
He called on her and told her when he
was ready to demonstrate his plan to
her he would telephone to her To-day
she received a message telling her to
call at once at the rooming- house men
toned and bring her money with her.
She did so and found the stranger
who gave the name of j. B. Watson,
there. The room was filled with bottles,
chemical apparatus, crucibles, boxes,
Bunson burners and other such things,
indicating that the man was a chemist.
She had her money in a coin sack,
and while she was not looking he sub
stituted sack containing a number
of iron washers. She caught him at it
and accused him of theft. Then he
laughed in her face and told her he
could render her unconscious with his
chemicals and leave her there. He
backed to the door and suddenly left
the room. When she tried the door
she found that he had removed the in
side docrknob and had locked the door
from the outside. In vain she tried
to break the lock, and then for half an
hour she pounded on the door before
she attracted attention of the landlady
who released her. When she told the
police her story she exacted pledge
of secrecy as to her name, saying she
would rather lose the money than have
her name known, but if the thief is
captured she will prosecute him.
