DISCUSSING WORCESTER
COUNTY LIQUOR QUESTION
Mr.. Harrison's Bill Again Taken Out OF
Hands OF Delegation And Sent To
Temperance Committee.

Statchouse Annapolis. March 6. The
bill providing for a vote on liquor license
in Worcester county was tonight refer.
red for the second time Ia the Temper.
ance Committee of the House. When
the bill was originally introduced it was
referred To the Temperance Committee.
but on the following day. at the request
of Mr.. Harrison. il was taken from the
Temperance Committee and placed in the
hand of the Worcester delegation. The
delegation was divided on the bill and
tonight Mr.. Cary, who opposed the bill,
asked that il be referred to the general
Temperance Committee, becanse Of di-
visions in the delegation. He said the
bill was general, because il included
Ocean City, the only seacoast resort in
the state. Mr.. Harrison opposed the
motion. and asked that the motion to
refer be made special order for 2
O'Clock tomorrow. Mr. Carey's motion
prevailed. 60 members Of the House
voting with him.
Mr. Ewell voted with Mr.. Carey to
refer the bill to the Temperance Com
mittee, and later made long speech in
defense of his position on the question.
Thu Bpitimor, Er,,jog Var. of Wed
nesday says:
I'm Worcester. Mr.. Harrison is dry
Mr.. Carey is wet. and Mr.. Ewell
seems to be intermittent The latter
arose on a question of personal privilege
last night to explain his position follow
ing a motion by Mr.. Carey to take the
bill away from the Worcesterites.
Some of Mr.. Ewcll's constituents in
Worcester want him to be- dry. some
want him to he wet All, il seems.
want him to quit being intermittent.
He is being abused by the ''wets, like
wise by the ''drys. He feels his posi-
ton keenly Though he is committed
to neither. he is willing. he says. to
vote with Mr.. Harrison as soon as the
local option bill can be amended Mr.
Harrison wants no amendments. and
SO il was necessary to get the bill away
from him. SO Ewell voted to send it 10
the temperance committee. which Mr..
Harrison says is a graveyard. The
WorcesteriteS are very popular among
their associates in the House. Unless
they can agree among themselves. it is
not al all likely that the House will take
upon itself the privilege Of settling the
problem
Ocean City is in Worcester, and some
fear that il the county votes on local
option and goes dry" the effect will
not be beneficial in the way of building
up the resort.

CONVICT ESCAPES.
Thomas Young, of Road Gang. Leaps
Into Brush and Runs Away.

Salem, June 16.-Thomas Young, n
member of the convict road gang,
made his escape at 1880 o'clock yes
terday afternoon while he was en-
ployed a few miles south of this city
on what is known as the slough road.
The road gang, consisting of about
23 men, was In charge of Guards W.
w. Johnson, Elmer G. White, and
Fred Kress. but had Just been divided
into three crews, preparatory for the
afternoons work.
The crew in charge of Guard Kress
among which Young was numbered.
had proceeded to the rock quarry on
Croisan creek, when at an opportune
moment the convict jumped into the
brush and disappeared. The rocks
and dense brush afforded excellent
shelter for the fleeing prisoner and
rendered the guard powerless to stop
his flight.
Young was serving four-year term
for burglary, having been sentenced
to the penitentiary from Lane county
in November, 1903.

Nfassacres Spreading,

Warsaw, June 16.-It Is reported
the massacre at Bialystok continues
unabated today, and the suburban
town Of Bojary is reported destroyed.
The massacre is extending to neigh
boring towns.
Eighteen young Jews were driven
into the outskirts of Bialystok AMI
barricaded themselves in house.
They were attacked by 500 rioters.
The Jews fired until their ammuni-
tion was exhausted, then hurled mis-
siles and boiling water upon the heads
of the besiegers. The Jews held out
for some time, but the mob won and
swarmed up the stairs, the defenders
fighting every inch. The Is Jews were
finally butchered.
The German-Jewish association has
received preliminary report from the
sent to Bialystok, show
ing that 200 were killed and 40
wounded during the outbreaks, and
say probably complete investigation
will show many more casualties.

WHERE is TIE HOODOOo
Council Meeting Tonight to Correct
One Word,

There Is evidence that there is a
hoodoo somewhere in connection with
the paving of the streets OF Pendle-
ton, and the members of the council
are wondering who is the Jonah. sew
eral times In the past the progress
of the paving movement has been de-
layed through various technical errors
or omissions. Yesterday 1t was dis
covered that one crept into the ordi-
nances passed on Wednesday night,
and as a result the council met again
last evening and passed the ordinances
again.
1t was simple mistake of one word
this time. At certain place In each
ordinance the word "cubic" was used
where It should read square 1t
might have been corrected without
another meeting, but in an abund-
ance of caution 1t was thought better
to make the change legally. Conse-
quently the council met last night to
make the matter square"

BROAD DAYLIGHT HOLDUP.
Darkness Not Needed for the Business
I'm Baker City.


One OF the boldest and nonchalant
robberies noted for some time occur
red In front of the, Columbia bar near
the depot this morning says the Bak-
er City Herald. The nerve of the two
highwaymen was something fearful
for they attacked their victim in broad
daylight, right on a main street and
in plain Wow of several people.
After spending the night In cele-
brating and drowning all cares In the
flowing bowl, sheepherder was
standing in front of the Columbia
saloon about 8 o'clock this morning
when two men came up to him and
proceeded to relieve him of his watch
and money. The fellow was so far
gore that he made very little resis-
tance but a bystander happened to
notice the men take the money and
made them return 1t.
He then notified the police and they
are now making a vigorous search for
the two strangers. After the police
had been notified II was discovered
that the strangers had got away with
the fellows watch. Although the po-
lice were not notified until some time
after the holdup they are on the trail
OF the robbers and will doubtless suc-
ceed in locating their men. The fell
lows were chased out of La Grande
last night and upon arriving in Baker
proceeded to get busy at their trade.
