The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-04-15
PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS

At the instance of Judge Thomas
Burke, chairman OF its committee on
national affairs, the Seattle Chamber OF
Commerce strongly condemns the OPP
position to the proposed issuance OF
S30,000,000 Of bonds to carry out
government reclamation projects. The
chambers attitude has been tele-
graphed to the congressional represent
atives OF this and other interested
states. In bringing up the matter
Judge Burke dwelt specifically on the
grave injustice done in the Kittitas
valley of Washington, where work has
long been suspended on the govern
ment project, for lack OF funds, while
at the same time the government has
withdrawn from sale all available waters
in that district, shutting out private
enterprise. In the face Of this situa-
ton certain officers of the reclamation
service are opposing the bond issue.
A notable instance Of the workings
of a charitable organization which is
accomplishing great good every day in
the state of Washington, without max
ing much noise about it, occurred in
Seattle one morning last week, when
seven young children were placed on
board train bound for eastern Wash
ington, where each of them have been
placed in good Christian homes for up
bringing. The children were all Or
phans, the charges of the Washington
Children's Home Society, which had
taken them into its receiving home and
kept them there until suitable parents
were found to adopt them and raise
them as their own. Hundreds Of chill
dren from homes broken up by death,
divorce or extreme poverty are taken in
by the Children's Home Society every
year and cared for until new homes are
found for them, but never before have
so many as seven youngsters been sent
to their new-found homes in a single
day. Supt. Covington of the society
declared it was record that people in
terested in real working charity could
be proud Of.

When former Senator John L. Will
son made his formal declaration of can
didacy for the senatorial nomination
next September, before the Wilson re-
publican club at the Hotel Washing
ton, Seattle, last week, he did so in a
speech which also contained his opin-
ion on the subject Of conservation.
Senator Wilson is well-known oppon-
ent of what has been called Pinchotism
and believer in the use Of our natural
resources. He said among other things
that the water power in the watershed
of the Columbia river and its tributa-
ries reached the amazing total of 3d.
100000 horse power, and that If we
harnessed 10000 horse power every
year we would not reach the end Of our
water power for 2400 years"

WOMAN BETRAYS FUGITIVE
INTO HANDS OF POLICE
Utica Bank Teller ls Arrested on a
Charge Of Embedding 100000
Pursued for Months.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Having
eluded the police OF several cities and
private detectives for more than two
months, J. Howard Lowery. alias Jas.

for alleged embeZzlement of more than
800, 600 from the Utica City National
bank, was betrayed into the hands of
a detective here yesterday by wo-
man ard taken To New York state be-
fore the local authorities were aware
of what was going on.
His arrest was due to the perse-
verance of Daniel j. Kelleher, detec.
days on the case. Lowery was note
teller In the bank and disappeared last
April while the examiner was going
over the banks books.
Kelleher got a clue which led to
several cities and then to Whining
ton. Del. He learned that a woman
In Wilmington was In correspondence
with the former teller and spotted her
for nearly a week. Sunday night the
vigil was rewarded. AS the detective
was standing in an alley near the wo-
mans house he noticed her leave with
a suitcase, and he followed her TO
Philadelphia and forced her to tell
Lowery's address in this city. He
took the woman back to Wilmington,

detective. They stationed themselves
near a house on North Sixteenth-st,
where the woman said Lowery was
living. and when Lowery came out ar
rested him.
Lowery, Il is said. agreed to waive
all legal technicalities here and ac-
companied his captor back, to Utica
without resistance.
Kelleher and his prisoner were al
ready out of the city before the To-
cal police learned of the arrest from

Just the same"
Conditions around the Brush-st. sta
ton and yards, Tuesday morning were
much the same as before the strike of
the Grand Trunk trainmen was de-
clared 1T $3.50 Monday night The
trains were moving the same az usual
and travellers were moving about as
IL nothing out OF the ordinary had hap,
rened. The only difference In the sur
roundiugs was that there were three
police officers around the station In.
stead OF the regular beat man There
was no work for the policemen, how
ever. On the dock behind the railway
station some 200 strikebreakers were
lounging around, awaiting orders to
entrain for some point along the line.
Earlier In the morning 10 were sent
TO Port Huron.
There was some trouble, however.
Monday night. when Conductor James
Robinson stepped from the Port HUI
ron-Chicago train at the Milwaukee
junction. He was surrounded by a
mob and threatened with violence.
Sergt Tischbein and several police Of
ficers guarded Robinson while he went
TO and from the dispatcher's office,
thus preventing an attaos. A,r. Robin.
son is taking the place OF a regular
conductor. He was on the road for
80 years, but Is said to have been let
out some months ago. The same dis
turbance was repeated at 1880 when
the strike-breaking conductor allghted
from the Buffalo train ut the Junction
spilled. The strikers said, Tuesday
morning, that they were not respon-
sible for the trouble at Milwaukee
Junction, blaming II on outsiders.
The strike extends from Portland,
Ore, to Chicago, and IL Is said that
over 5000 men are on strike. These
include conductors, brakemen, bag
gagemen and some switchmen. II was
anticipated that the telegraphers
would also strike, but at late hour
Monday night their demand for more
pay was referred to board OF arbi-
tration. The Switchmen's union has
not yet officially declared a strike in
sympathy with the trainmen, but such
an order is expected any moment, the
trainmen say.
Lack of Switchmen Hurts.
Every union switchman at the
Brush-st. station yards and the Mil
waukee Junction is on strike. Non
union men are taking the places OF
the strikers, but rhey are having their
troubles, not being familiar with the
switches. Consequently, the trains GO

no one there to throw the switches To
let the train proceed to the Brush st
station. Finally Night Stationmaster
Sloane, OF Detroit, was sent out to
work the switches. He no sooner got
hold OF the lever TO turn the switch
than number of strikers approached
him and gently pulled him away. He
didn't return to the job, but someone
else made the necessary switches and
the train was able to go ahead Later,
n non-union baggageman, said to be a
foreigner, was hauled off train at
the junction and assaulted. his head
being split open. He was taken to a
not serious.
Wabash Also Affected.
The strike Is also affecting the Wa
bash railroad in Canada, between
Windsor and Suspension Bridge. The
Wabash runs over the Grand Trunk
tracks In Canada and there is an
agreement between the company and
the Grand Trunk that the Wabash
shall not pay any more wages to its
Canadian employees than does the
Grand Trunk. For this reason the
Canadian trainmen of the Wabash are
out on strike with the Grand Trunk
men. The Wabash was able to move
its trains In and out of Windsor Tues
day morning, but the crews are said
to have been largely non-union.
Trainmen Hopeful.
]. +. Pate, baggeman, S38 Town
send-ave., who Is head OF the trainmen
for the Detroit division, said Tuesday
morning that the men were confident
of success.
I'VE have the lines pretty we'll tied
up now" said Mr. Pate, and We have
every hope OF making the road come
to our terms. We feel that we are
I'm the right and we are confident
that right will triumph. The men are
nearly all out and | expect that within
an hour or two every switchman work
ing with us and on the Wabash in
Canada will join US"
Mr.. Pate has opened headquarters at
the City hotel, foot OF Brush-st., for
the men. The lobby of the hotel was
crowded with strikers all Tuesday
morning. They were quiet and order
ly, making no effort to modest strike
breakers as they passed to and from
the station. The strike-breakers are
Just now quartered at the Wabash
hotel, opposite the City hotel, and are
under the guidance OF James Foley,
detective for the Grand Trunk. After
today, however, the strike-breakers
are to be housed and fed in the Grand

kitchen utensils having been moved IN

ton TO the strike-breakers, many spe-
