in a Pacific avenue hotel. This oc-
Cured on the night of April 23. Once
inside the room, the startled girl
found the door locked, and she de-
clares that Young refused to let her
leave. On the stand she swore that
Young took her umbrella and left the
place, locking the door behind him.
Later in the night he returned, but
without. the umbrella. He still re-
fused to allow her to leave his room,
and rather than compromise herself
by being found there, which would
result should she sound an alarm,
she remained a quiet but unwilling
prisoner all night.
After escaping from Young the
next morning, the girl declared, she
never went with him again, although
she saw him several times in an effort
to have her umbrella returned. When
he positively refused to give it back
she Informed her father of the affair
and the latter Immediately swore out
a warrant charging Young with the
offense of which he was convicted
yesterday.
On the witness stand Young said
he was working in gambling house
at the time, and declared that he
left the room on the night mentioned
to go to his work. He stated that
he left the umbrella at a certain
house on G street, but Captain King
testified that the umbrella was found
in pawnshop.

At the regular meeting of the Ia
coma Trades Council last night the
question of the enforcement OF the
eight-hour law was taken up and dis
cussed freely. 1t was decided that
for the present the Trades Council
would not make any move in regard
to the enforcement of the law, as the
constitutionality of the statute is be-
ing tested in other cities in the state.
Probably the only action the council
will take in the controversy between
local contractors and the city over the
eight-hour law will be to furnish evi-
dence in the case to aid the city at
torney if it should be requested to
do so.
Two interesting speakers attended
the meeting last night. c. H. Gram,
president of the oregon State Fedora
tion of Labor, talked on the existing
conditions of labor unions. He was
followed by MIR. Henley, business and
advertising agent for the Hatters
Union of the United States, who has
come to the coast in the interests OF
that organization.
The Labor day committee was not
ready to make final report on the
celebration, though the members as
sured the council that the revenues
from the sale of tickets for the ex-
cursion would be sufficient to cover
all expenses incurred.

YOUNG GIRL IS EURED To A MANS
ROOM AND LOCKED IN OVER NIGHT

Forrest Young was yesterday
found guilty in the police court of
stealing an umbrella from Miss Anna
Baumgartner on the night Of April
23 last, and was sentenced to pay a
fne of $50, or in lieu thereof, to
serve a term of II days in the county
Jail. Young was unable to pay the
Hne, and will serve out his time.
The trial of the case brought out
some sensational testimony against
Young, which accounts for the heavy
penalty assessed by Judge Griffin.
Miss Baumgartner, who lives with
her parents at Middleton, is an at
Aractive appearing girl II years old.
She testified that she first met Young
on a car. A few days later, she says
he stopped her on a street corner
Although only chance acquaintance,
she allowed Young to take three
rings from her fingers, which he
promised to return the next time they
met.
Instead of returning the rings,
however, Young told the girl, on
meeting her a few days later, that
the rings were in his room, and said
Ehe would have to go with him TO
Nhe room if she ever got them again.
After some persuading, Miss Baum
Eartner consented to accompany
Young to his room, which is located

When introduced, Mr.. Mead was
given an ovation. He said In part:
From its position on the money
question, the Democratic party seeks
10 close the doors OF the White
House against the present dIstin-
guished incumbent by again preach-
ing that protection is robbery. On
this question ! believe the majority
Of the people viii adopt the sugges-
tion Of President Roosevelt as set
forth in his letter OF acceptance.
wherein he says that the people can
not afford to trust the modification
Of the tariff laws to those who treat
protection and robbery as synony-
nous terms.
IF elected governor, / hope / ap-
preciate the fact that In the con-
duct Of the state institutions great
care should be exercised In the selec-
tion Of competent officials TO conduct
their affairs. so that those commend
ed TO the care Of the charitable insti-
tutions will receive the greatest con-
sideration and the penal and REFORM
atory institutions will rank with
those Of the best states of the Union;
and so that the cause of education
may continue to advance and this
state be considered one OF the great
states of the Union"
In a speech of 30 minutes Con-
gressmon Jones spoke upon the IN
consistency Of the Democratic party.
He eulogized Mr. Mead for his con-
seryatism and the temperate char
acter Of his ntterances, declaring

erty Of opinion and liberty OF action.

THAT LED TO SOLDIERS DEATH

Aside from establishing the facts
that the prisoner and Vandiver had
q quarrel and that Vandiver was shot
while approaching the formers tent,
very little developed in the StubDs
murder trial today.
The jury was secured last night,
and after the statement of the case
BY the prosecution this morning the
examination of witnesses was taken
up. c. r. McMasters testified in re-
gard to the location of the tents at
the American lake encampment. He
also showed photographs of the mess
tent, Stubs tent and the tent where
the bullet struck after passing
through Vandiver's body.
c. H. Mitchell, fourth sergeant of
Company X, testified that on the
evening of July he was having sup
per with others of the company In

high words, and, turning around,
saw Stubbs and Vandiver having an
alteration. Stubbs said to Van
diver, you're net game" whereup-
on Vandiver, witness said, made as
if to slap Stubbs. Stubbs appeared
TO reach in his shirt pocket for some
thing, when Vandiver grabbed both
of his hands and held them for a mo-
ment. Then he sat down. After
wards Stubbs approached Vandiver
and struck him in the back. Then
Stubbs left the mess tent and went
down to his own tent. Vandiver fol
lowed him a little way, but came
back and washed the dishes Then
he left the mess tent and went to his
own tent, which was on the opposite
side of the street from Stubbs tent
Shortly afterward Vandiver came
out and walked toward Stubbs' tent
When near the tent, the witness said
Stubbs asked Vandiver what he was
going to do. Vandiver said, I've

the light open and who is RESPONSE
BILE for what is characterized along
the waterfront as criminal careless

il be the ofncials of the company,
and they are not telling.
From the fact that early yester-
