A MODERN CASE

Santa Monica. Cal. Oct. 29.--Re-
lief parties started into the Santa
Monica mountains today In search OF
four Los Angeles men who have been
missing since tuesday evening, when
they started for a mountain CAMP,
~ miles from Santa Monica.
The lost men are r. j. Palshofer,
DIR. c. l.. Bennett, Frank Montgom-
cry and George Gebhart.
They travelled in Bennett's auto
mobile. Late yesterday hunters found
note tied to bush In the hills
above here. II stated that the auto
mobile had been wrecked, and that
the men were unable to find their
way to a camp. Apparently the note
was left In the hope that some one
would find It and follow their trail.
The hunters hurried into Santa
Monica and organized a searching
squad. The party left shortly before
daylight. leading horses for the wan
derers. and carrying provisions suf-
ficient for week.

Jersey City, N. j., Oct. 29.-Wild
rumors that a number of persons had
been killed were circulated today, af-
ter the most severe rioting that has
occurred since the strike of the ex-
press wagon drivers began. The re-
port of fatalities In rioting has not
been confirmed, but the rumor
aroused to high pitch the excite
ment of the strike.
Rioting began when the Jersey
City officers of the express company
involved sent out their wagons with
guards seated beside the drivers.
Eight wagons were stopped by the
strikers and their sympathizers. The
guards fired over the heads of the
crowd that had assembled, and the
mob returned the fire. No one was
injured in the opening fusillade, but
the sound of the ringing shots stirred
the anger of the crowd, and there was
a wild charge on the wagons. Driv-
ers and guards were pulled from the
seats, horses unhitched from the
wagons and turned loose. and in a
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-10-29

The police are endeavoring to pre-
vent a recurrence of the troubles,
and extra guards have been sent out.
The express companies are deter
mined to operate their wagons. If
they take them out with more guards
1t is believed certain that another
riot will follow A conference be-
tween the officials of the companies
and the police is expected during the
afternoon or evening.
1t is feared that the rioting in
Jersey City may have its influence on
the strikers in New York, where to-
day the disturbances were inconse-
quential. Police fear that the strike
may develop into a serious affair in
New York, as well as Jersey City, and
special precautions will be taken to
maintain order.

GENERAL CRAWFORD
DECIDES THAT CHANGE III
ADOPTED WILL MERELY ADD
TO CITIES POWER.

Passage of the home rule amend
ment TO the constitution at the Nov
ember election will not, as opponents
of the measure have contended,
make the state, constitution and
criminal laws imperative in cities
and towns OF Oregon. according to
the official opinion OF Attorney.
General Crawford.
When he learned that this ques-
tion had been raised, II. @. Meal
lister. general manager of the Ore
gon Home Rule Association, re-
quested the Attorney-G General for an
opinion. The following ruling was
made:
II. G. McAlllster, Portland, Ore
gon.--Dear Sir: Replying to yours
OF the cath inst, requesting opinion
If this office as to whether the pro-
posed constitutional amendment OF
section 2 OF article XII of the con-
stitution OF the State OF Oregon.
SHOULD II become a law, would have
the effect OF exempting cities and
towns from the operation of the con
stitution and criminal laws OF the

such amendment would not have that
effect.

lice that were rushed to their assist

hurled by the mob, and the officers
called into use their clubs. The dis
orders continued for several minutes.

away the injured
The rioting occurred near the
water front, and while 1t was at it's
height 1t was reported that number
of persons had been killed and their
bodies thrown into the river. The re-

up the fight with renewed fury.

driven back. however, was in an ugly
mood, and the police fear ~ecur-

and flying stones, but so far as
known no one was struck by the fiy-
ing bullets with which the fight was
opened.
