BUSY BILLIE BUCK
: BRINGS BUSINESS
PatroIman Lands Six Offenders In the
City Jail, Where Two of Them
Still Repose-Trials This
Afternoon.

Patrolman William Buck was the
busiest man on the police force last
night and as result of his vigilance,
six offenders were brought into the
spotlight, two of them being now in
the city Jail awaiting hearing in JUS
tice McKinney's court, while four were
released on bonds aggregating $50.
The festivities were started by the
patrolman at 9:15 o'clock when he ar
rested Lorene Newby on the charge of
vagrancy, the arrest heving been made
in a local lodging house. A few min
utes later her companion, May Smith,
was arrested at the same place, and as
neither were able to furnish bond
money, they were given a cell in the
womans detention ward of the city
jail. They will appear before Justice
Mckinney this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Molly Brow, Eli Lusk and Bert Has
kell, colored, while indulging in an i'm
promptu and premature celebration Of
the Fourth on Rose street, were picked
up by Patrolman Buck at 1870 O'Clock
this morning, and booked on the dis
orderly charge. They deposited $40 as
bonds each for appearance in Justice
McKinney's court this afternoon.
At 3:15 o'clock this morning D. p.
McCray, on the charge of vagrancy,
was arrested, also by Buck, and be-
fore he was given his liberty, the sum
of $50 in bond money nestled in the
night sergeant's vault. He was cited to
appear this afternoon at o'clock, and
Justice. Mckinney will have almost
as strenuous a time as did the patrol
man last night.

Both Were Slender.

All that can be learned of the men
is that they took last nights O. r. &
N. train from this city, and transferred
at Wallula, either for Portland or
Spokane. AS Fleming was sentenced
to the penitentiary from Spokane for
robbery, it is thought he has made an
attempt to return to the Falls City,
where he may have friends who will
aid him. Beach was sentenced to prison
from Ellensburg, for a similar offense,
and it is thought probable he has re-
turned to that locality.
Both men are described as being of
slender build, dark complexion and
between 25 and 80 years Of age. Con-
ductor Dawson, while making out
their tickets on last nights train, was
given an excellent opportunity of OBJ
serving them, though he paid but little

RIOTING BECOMES
SERIOUS TODAY
Marines and Police Fire
and 300 Rioters Are
in Hospital.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-The en-
ployes of the subway and elevated
car lines struck today, joining the
platform men of the surface cars.
Rioting is continued at Kensington
and a clash in which there was shoot
ing occurred between sailors from the
League Island navy yard and the po-
lice.
Three hundred victims of last night S
riots are in the hospital and the
number is being increased. Subway
lines from Fifth to Sixty-nin streets
are completely tied up.
Special police were rushed to every
elevated platform as soon as the
strike was declared, and within 80
minutes some trains were started by
strikebreakers.
The clash between the sailors and
police occurred after 20 men from
the navy yard boarded car and

police attempted to arrest the sailors
and shooting followed. Nobody was
wounded and the marines were driven
back to the navy yard.
Several hundred special policeman,
half negroes, were sworn in today.
Because he made no effort to stop
the rioting last night, Lieutenant John
Sykes was suspended today by Di-
rector Clay, pending an Investigation
by the trial board.
The causes of the strike are the re-
fusal of the company to accede to the
following demands: Recognition of the
union grievance committee; time and
a half for extra work; arbitration Of
future differences; 25 cents an hour.
The results of the strike are; Four
thousand men idle; two thousand work
ing; cost to the company 100000; to
the strikers $4,000. injured so; strike
breakers 1900 Cars idle 1,5OO cars
running $50.
Fifty imported strikebreakers quit at
noon today. 1t is alleged they were told
they were to be employed on new
road in Philadelphia and have returned
to New York.

THREE DIVORCES
FILED IN COURT
Complaints Include Incompatibility OF
Temper, Non Support and De-
sert.on, and Fear of Bodily
Harm From Spouse.

Three divorce cases, ranging from
incompatibility of temper to despera-
ton, were filed in the superior court
yesterday afternoon, the principals in
the domestic tragedies being, Lillian
Hartley and George Hartley; Edward
Albreeht and Freda Albrecht; Clara
Mauer and Harry Mauer.
The plaintiff. in the case of Lillian
Hartley, against George Hartley al
leges non-support and desertion, while
Clara Mauer, declares that her hus-
band and she are constructed on en-
tirely different lines and therefore can
not agree. She further states that at
frequent intervals he has threatened
to-kill her and all her family and has
at all times treated her in a manner
unbecoming a dog.
Breaking the monotony somewhat
Edward Albrecht swears that his wife,
F'reda has deserted him and because
of this, thinks that he should be
granted a divorce.
Because Clara Mauer feared that
her husband, in a fit of anger might dc
her harm, a restraining order was is
sued by Judge Brents, to the effect
that her husband shall leave her and
her children alone and unmolested.

Germany Butts In.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The
charge that Germany, through corre-
spondence with the state department
has made efforts to influence the pres
ent tariff legislation, was productive
of a lively tilt in the senate today be-
tween Aldrich and Stone. Aldrich IN
a speech intimated that Stone acted
in the light of making plausible the
theory.
Stone declared Aldrich was grossly
impertinent."
In a speech LaFollette accused Aid
rich of making wrong statements
leaving "side door" in his utterances
for escape.

Convicts Who Were Out on
Good Behavior Are
Missing Today.
BOARDED PORTLAND
TRAIN LAST NIGHT
Bought Tickets and Then
Transferred at
Wallula.

By violating the terms of their pa
roles and leaving this city without the
knowledge and consent of the proper
authorities, Richard Fleming and
George Beach. who were released from
the state penitentiary May 1 on parole,
are now being traced by penitentiary
officials and if captured will be treated
in the same manner as an escaped con-
vict. According to a statement this
morning, by one of the attendants at
the Walla Walla hospital, Fleming and
Beach secured employment as menials
there on being released from prison,
and worked a month, having received
their pay yesterday.
The last seen of the men was early
yesterday evening, when they came
down town. Nothing was thought OF
the fact at that time, however, as they
had frequently spent their evenings
down town. This morning they failed
to report for duty, and the prison au-
thorities were at once notified, with
the result that their investigation re-
vealed the fact that the men had left
town on the O. r. & N. Portland train
last night.
AS both Fleming and Beach pur-
chased their tickets from Conductor
w. S. Dawson, wha was in charge OF
train No. 43, on which the paroled
convicts were passengers, their de-
parture was unknown to anyone here,
and their destination has not been as
certained Conductor Dawson, when
he learned that the two men were
wanted by the prison authorities, and
upon receiving their descriptions, re-
called the fact that he had sold tick
cts to men who tailed with the re-
ports given of them.

A BIG BRICK
BU|LD|NGF FOR
ODDFELLOWS
Appropriation of $4,000 Is
to Be Granted at
Grand Lodge.
NO OPPOSITION IN
RANKS OF LODGE
j. Carter Smith Is Elected
Grand Patriarch of
Encampment.

An appropriation of $S500O for the
erection of an additional building on
| the tract on which the Odd Fellows
home is located, will be made by the
state grand lodge which is in session
| in Bellingham this week, and within a
short time work, viii be started on the
| building that will afford increased con-
| veniences for inmates of the home. 1t
| is the intention, according to a recent

eye of state organization, to construct
three-story brick on the seven-acre

position to the plan, although the ques-
ton has been agitated for several

The present holdings of the Odd Fell
lows where the Home is located has
been estimated at 100000 and with
the erection of the three-story brick
addition, the property will be greatly
enhanced, and the accommodation to
| widows, orphans and aged Odd Fellows

tees of the institution have been work.
ing for an appropriation for the addi-
ton for some time past, though the
movement was kept comparatively
quiet, and announcement that the ap-
preparation will be granted by the

three-linkers of Walla Walla who have
taken an interest in the welfare Of the
home here.
