He is not content with a smile

ers' private guards from persist
ing in the patrol.
Both sides do not attempt to con-
ceal the belief that there may be
trouble when the mines attempt to
resume on the "open shop" basis.
Today mine owners held a confer

today.
1t is planned to have the strike
breakers live in large camp, al
though some owners think it best
to scatter the men to avoid concen-
trated attack. Just what eventual
disposition of the troops will be
made has not yet been settled. At
present they are in two camps.
Miners union officials insist that
there is no occasion for the
military display, and claim that the
only source of trouble is the own
ers' refusal to guarantee the scrip
they were asked to accept in pay
ment of wages.
The owners admit that their in
tention is to force the open shop
system and break the power of the
union. The scrip question is re-
garded by both sides as merely an
excuse for bringing to an issue the
trouble that has been brewing be-
tween the mine owners association
and the union.
A cache of 100 rifles has been
found by Capt. Sage of the Wing
field company's private detective
force. AS yet no one has claimed
them.

PAULSON STRIKE
IS ENDED

The iron workers who struck
last week on the Paulson building
returned to work this morning.
This action followed a meeting Of
officers Of the various unions affil-
lated with the Structural Building
Trades alliance. An effort was
made to reconcile the cement work
ers and the building labOrers in re-
gard to placing cement in buildings.
This is the real difficulty on the
Paulson and Peyton buildings. The
cement workers are doing work
claimed by the building laborers
as belonging to them, and the iron
workers came off the work in sym
pathy and to enforce the jurisdic-
ton over this class of work of the
building laborers.
1t is also reported that the iron
workers have decided to sever
their connection with the struc-
tural alliance, as they do not care
to be brought into further Difficult
ties through differences over who
shall do the work,
1t Is unlikely that there will be
any further cessation OF work on
either the Paulson or peyton build
ings over question of jurisdiction
or other labor disputes.

There is little likelihood of any
definite action being taken at this

Hayes, Of California, of bill re-

The Japanese apparently have

this country is far from satisfied
with the present status OF the
question, the president is anxious,

MURDER THEORY
EXPLODED

Notice was received yesterday
that brother of f. l.. Beltinck,
who was found dead Saturday aft
ernoon near the Echo Touring mill
with his neck broken from a fall
off the Great Northern bridge, will
reach the city probably tonight.
coming from Portland. The theory
that Beltinck was murdered is not
credited by Coroner Witter and
the police. They believe that some
time during Friday night he fell
from the bridge while temporarily
irresponsible.
The accident occurred on a mar
row path leading from the Great
Northern trestle to the rear OF the
-four mill 1t Is unprotected.
When the body was found it lay
In heap with the neck dislocated.
The head was bruised by the fall.
Beltinck had been employed for
several months as solicitor for the
Siegel Cigar Co.
He was a Dane, about 40 years OF
age and unmarried, He lived at the
Chicago hotel. Before he went to
work for the cigar concern he was
employed as traveller for the Nor
ris Safe & Lock Co. and enjoyed a
good reputation. His recent EN-
ployer, A. w. 'Siegel, believes the
death to h&vo been accidental.

SAVES LIFE
OF DALTON

James Dalton will not hang Dec.
10 for the murder of Policeman
Stotko, although convicted in the
superior court and denied relief by
the state supreme court His SEN
tencc will be committed to life i'm
prisonment by Gov. Mead.
John E. Blair, Dalton's attorney,
secured a promise to this effect
when he succeeded in securing a
60 days reprieve from the COVER
nor two months ago. The stipula-
ton was that Attorney Blair pro
duce petitions with a sufficient
number of names of lawyers and
others apt to be familiar with the
case and make his strongest show
ing of all possibilities for Dalton
innocence.
This was done to preserve the
usual form of granting commute
tions, although the governor was
won to a lenient course by Mr..
Blair's arguments and his own ma
tural aversion to inflicting the
death penalty.
Every element of doubt that en-
tered into the trial of Dalton has
been presented to the governor,
backed by petitions numerously
signed asking for the Communication
to life Imprisonment. All that re-
mains is for the governor to make
the official announcement of his de-
cision. The name of the murdered
mans wife is one of the strongest
factors on the petition for Dalton's
life. The accused was convicted on
cireumstantial evidence and his
own bad record.
