RuFFlANS ATTACK
AUTO PARTY: ONE
MAN BADLY HURT

BUTTE, Mont, May 6.-Un-
conscious and frightfully bruised
from kicks and fist blows, w. H..
Watson lies in local hospital to-
day in serious condition due to
an alteration with a crowd of
ruffians that insulted an automo-
bile party of which he was a
member.
John Berkin. president of the
Raven Mining company, and a
prominent mining man of the
Northwest, accompanied by his
wife and a party of friends, was
riding through the streets in an
automobile last night when one of
a group of young men hurled a
vile epithet at the occupants of
the machine.
When Berkin left the car, in
tending to slap the face of the
insulting youth, he was attacked
and later arrested. A few min
utter later Watson, son-in-law of
Mrs. Berkin, was found uncon-
scious on the steps of a nearby
building. 1t is supposed that
he was followed and attacked.

To PLANT MINES

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Un-
der the supervision of Captain
Harley B. Ferguson the govern
ment mine planting steamers
Ringgold and Armstead next week
will begin series of mine plant
ing experiments outside the Gold
en- Gate. The Sixtieth coast ar
tillery, under the command OF
Captain T. @. Ashburn, has been
detailed to assist the crews of the
vessels. The currents of the
chanel have rendered difficult the
laying of mines outside the gate
in the past years, permanency of
location being the greatest diff
Guilty to be surmounted. If this
problem can be overcome the yes
sells will lay part of the permanent
harbor defense. Aftef the work
is completed the Ringgold will
leave for Seattle while the Armi-
stead will be stationed at this
port.

however, will appreciate values.
Money that has been squandered
over the bar will go into legitimate
channels.
Whisky, they said, makes power
ty, and they gave local statistics
to prove 1t.
A dry town is not dead town.
The highest and best form of life
is morality, clean living, health,
education, and decent amusement
The saloon is opposed to all OF
those. There is no real fun In
drunkenness.
The vets showed that $751;
484.50 was spent in saloons of the
county in a year.
Here is what could have been
done with this immense sum:
Buy 100 building lots, $4OO
each; build 100 houses costing
$4,000; furnish 100 homes, build
100 sidewalks, insure 100 homes,
buy for each of 100 families $40
worth of papers and magazines,
furnish 100 families with $40 for
amusement; give 500 summer
outing to 100 families, buy 100
pianos at $500 each, send 200 boys
and girls to college, spending
$1,000 a year each; give 100 fam
lilies a cash balance at the end OF
the year of $1629.S4.
The drys charged that 13 OF
every IA crimes for which arrests
had been made in the county in
10 years were traceable to saloon
influences.
In regard to the question of
state usurpation Of church rights,
the Protestant clergy answered by
giving their influence in personal
endeavor to the dry campaign.
At the election 11,612 votes
were cast, of which 1882 were
dry. The temperance leaders say
that this is high record in the
national movement, and is ex-
tremely important because of the
broad issues upon which the cam
paign was waged.

EDITOR TELLS HOW
HE WAS KIDNAPPED

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May e.
Fremont Older, editor of the
Evening Bulletin, was placed on
the witness stand today in the
trial of Luther Brown, chief of
the United Railroads detective
bureau, who is accused of kid
MAPPING him. Older told the story
Of the alleged kidnapping. He said
that he was arrested here by
Brown, Porter Ashe and two con-
stables from Los Angeles, who had
warrant, issued in that city,
charging him with criminal libel.
His efforts to get the constables
to take him before a court where
he could be admitted to bail, he
said, were futile and he was
placed in an automobile and taken
to Redwood City against his will.

GREAT MUSICAL
FESTIVAL IS
PLANNED

Although no definite decision
has been reached, it is en-
tirely probable that Tacoma will
have large musical festival next
year, to be held in connection with
the 1910 tour of the Chicago SYM
phony Orchestra, which played at
the Tacoma last night. Just be-
fore last nights concert number
of prominent musical people of
the city gathered in conference
with Mr.. Beach, business manager
of the orchestra, and he heartily
approved the proposition.
The festival will last three days,
according to plans, and will in
clude choral work of over thou
sand school children.
Among those who conferred
with Mr.. Beach last night were
Mrs. B. B. Broomell, Walter G..
Reynolds, Charles Bedford, Mrs.
Bedford and Miss Lamson.

METAL LEADS
IN DAYS
MARKET

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, May 8.-Metal
shares were in almost excited de-
mand today in the stock market
and there were good advances In
the leaders in consequence. Anal
gamated Copper was with Ameri-
can Smelter and United States
Steel, the leader of the day. The
advances were: Amalgamated
2 1-2, American Smelter common
l 1-2 points and United States
Steel preferred l 3-S. Steel COM
mon held an advance of "a point
at the closing. The heavy advance
in metals, especially copper
shares, was due to the heavy for
eign shipments of metal. During
the month of April more copper
was shipped to foreign countries
than during any period since jan
uary, 1908. The advance in steel
shares was due to this and to the
expected advance in steel prices
shortly.
Denver & Rio Grande gross
earnings show an increase of

fin the dry campaign. In automo-
biles, buggies and on foot they
|canvassed the county. They cam
Ipaigned on the farms and in the
big manufacturing plants. They
got up a parade three miles long.
Thousands of Sunday school chill
dren were in line. The babies of
half a dozen prominent women
We're swung in their cribs on floats
drawn by flower-decked horses
Placards on these wagons read;

Iterest of future generations. 90
One we'll known young woman
posed in a cartoon on a cart.E She
wore a ragged skirt, her sleeves
were uprolled and she bent over a
wash tub and rubbed clothes. A
big sign on the side of this-cart
read: ''If the husband gives his
pay to the saloonist the wife must
win bread for the family"
A party of young men droye a
water cart in the parade and bore
a banner inscribed Get aboard. !
This was the spectacular side of
the campaign. But the dry leaders
claim their victory was won from
cool argument of the broad issues.
They denied that prohibition
was in violation of constitutional
rights. A man is promised life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness.

death. bondage and the pursuit

trolls the sale of other poisons, why
no alcohol? 1t is the proper func-
ton of the state to legislate for
the moral as we'll as the physical

lily rule is the keystone of the re-
public, and the question was to be
decided by the majority.

And thas was while she was at the
Hotel Oregon under the name of
Mrs. Hazel Moore, but those who
say they know her, failed to learn
that from the Oregon she moved
to the Imperial hotel there to reg
lister, live and grow more popular
under the name of Mrs. Ortis Ham,
ilton.
But to the few women and men
who knew her we'll, Mrs. Moore
did not attempt to assume the pose
of the wealthy widow. To them
the story of her life was known;
they were acquainted with the
facts of her marriage at IA and
how, some years later, she became
la victim of the pace that kills.
She frankly told people she was
going to marry Hamilton, that he
was good fellow" as good fell
lows go. efs
She made no secret of the cir
cdmstances surrounding the meet
ing or the fact that he had a wife.
His position was alluring to her,
for she had social aspirations of
the most pronounced character.
She told several people in Port
land that marriage with him
would secure for her the position
she wanted in society. And upon
the subject of her brown eyes
there are numbers of gay young
fellows to testify. 1t was the sub
tie mystery. of those flashing orbs
that rev them to her, as it did
Hamilton.

the displeasure of the court this
morning by interrupting Assistant

ENGLISH REBEL AGAINST
PROPOSED HEAVY TAXES

LONDON, May 6. - Protests
from the wealthy and middle
classes of British society against
the almost socialistic provisions of
the 1909-1910 budget recently
presented to the house of commons
by Chancellor of the Exchequer
David Lloyd-George, are loud and
persistent.
The great additional burden of
taxation which will be necessitated
by the adoption of the budget falls
upon these wealthy and middle
classes, whose protests are rein
forced by the denunciation OF the
that it's items denote
a surrender to the demands of the
radicals and the labor party, term
ed by their opponents the "prole-
tariat..'
The provisions that have caused
the greatest outcry from those az
fected are:
State aid of a scheme for insur-
|ance against loss of employment.
State aid of labor exchanges for
the aid of the unemployed. II
State aid of agricultural and
forestry projects.
Increased tax on incomes over
$4,000.
Increased taxation of duties and
|legacies, saloon licenses and lux
|uries.
Tax on mining royalties, unde-
veloped urban land and mineral
wealth, and stamp tax on real
estate and stock exchange trans
factions.
II the burget is endorsed the
English people will find them
selves under tax imposition az
great as that in effect in times OF
war. The increased burden On
|doubtedly will result In protest
that may affect curtailment oil
naval expenditures, the disastrous
results of which already are ap-
parent.

FITTING UP
PHONES FOR
The POLICE

Work has begun on the REIN
stallation of the police call-box
telephones, which were put out of
commission nearly three years
ago. Each call-box contains a
telephone, which is connected
with a central exchange at the Of
flee of the desk sergeant in police
headquarters. For nearly three
years these telephones have been
out of use and officers have been
forced to communicate with the
central station by means of private
telephones.
The telephone system can be
fitted out with scarcely any out
lay OF money. The only new
instruments to be purchased will
be desk phone for the central
station and an automatic report
recorder. The system will be in
use before the end of the week.

HOLD UP SHERIFF'S
BILLS FOR EXPENSES.
Freeholdcrs Think Police Han
died Hatters' Strike Well.

Freebooter Charles W. Romine, of
Orange, succeeded in holding up three
bills from the ssheriff's office, presented
at the meeting of the finance commit
tee of the Board of Freeholders late
yesterday afternoon. and had them re-
ferred to County Counsel Joseph l..
Mum, who will report at the next
meeting. The bills grew out of the
hatters' strike in Orange. One was
from Constable Charles f. Hummel for
s2SS.5b; the econd from Sheriff Har-
rigan for SIS, and the third from Con-
stable Abraham Overmiller for 81.
In spite Of explanations by the
sheriff. Sheriff Charles Reilly
and William j. Kearns, the sheriff's at
torney, the committee referred the bills
because of Mr.. Romine's inslstent
stand that as there had been no UNI
lawful outbreak among the strikers,
and as the local police had fully COPIED
with the situation, there was nj need
of expanding the county's money.
