ENGINE STOPS CAR
ON WILD HILL DASH

North Yakima, Misunderstanding
down a grade before high wind yes
terday afternoon an empty ballast car
with two members of switching
crew ran wild from the North YaSi-
ma yards to Donald, II miles and
was stopped there by the engineer Of
train No. / the principal passenger
train of the Yakima valley division
of the O.-W. Il. X n
Only the presence of mind and
quick Wit of "Blr Thompson, the
engineer. saved the passengers in the
five coaches behind him.
When he saw the car rushing to-
ward him as the train approached
Donald he reversed the engine and
gained sufficient speed in the opposite
direction to minimize the shock. The
engine pilot was shattered. There
were more than 100 passengers on
the train.
Thompson is one of the oldest en-
gineers in point of service on the To-
cal division having first gone to work
during the construction of the North

Workingmen in Vancouver
Quit Today in Response for
General Strike
NAVY SKILLED CRAFTSMEN
REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE
Street Car Men Turn Down Strike
Proposition by Vote of Ten TO One
Have Made satisfactory Agree
mcnt With Company and If Broken
Would Cause Serious Trouble.

Vancouver, h. c., June 5.-The first
report gives 5000 as the number of
workingmen who quit work yesterday
in response for a general strike to en-
force close shops, following the trouble
with the carpenters union. The an
ticipated general ieup has not taken
place. The street car men, printers
and many other skilled craftsmen
haven't participated on account OF a
signed agreement that would involve
them in serious trouble with the in
ternational unions.
The bakers Mattresses and COOKS
remain working in the places which
are classed as fair. So far there Is no
evidence of disorder and no special
ton of disorder
The street car men turned down the
strike proposition by vote of ten to
one, giving as their reason that they
had recently closed a satisfactory
three year agreement with the Brit
ish Columbia Electric Railway COM
pany and by 1t are required to give
80 days notice Of an intention to
strike The printers also declined tc
join the general strike.
The trades and labor council re-
commended the general strike as
last resort to force the master build
ers to treat with the union carpenters
who have been on strike many weeks
The master builders assert that
strike of the other building laborer'
will not injurer them as they already
have many non-union men on theil
list and can nj the vacancies as rap
idly as the union men walk out.

ATTEMPT
FUTILE FOR PRESENT

Representative a. w. Laffertys
bill to take the present federal court
away from Pendleton and to establish
a regular eastern oregon district with
headquarters at Baker will not be
passed at the present session of
congress and the fears of local people
are allayed for the time being. This
comforting news was contained in a
message received this afternoon by
Secretary Keefe of the Commercial
club from Senator George Chamber
lain in answer to a communication
asking the status of the bill.
The Commercial, association and
members of the bar are very pleased
at this information for they will have
an opportunity to prepare convincing
statistics showing why Baker should
not be made the federal court center
over Pendleton and they believe that
this delay will sound the death knell
of what they declare to be an attempt
of Lafferty to pay a political debt.

Washington, June 5.-That Presi-
dent Taft is seriously worried over
the outlook in the senate for the Ca
madam reciprocity bill is believed
here. His administration friends add
NIT that the prospect is discouraging.
The senate is including some adher.
ents of Taft on other matters which
is antagonists to he bill. Root has
an amendment that would prevent
the free entry of wood pulp and print
paper until all restrictions affecting
these products are removed by Cam
ada. Taft fears if this is adopted
it would be the first of a series of
amendments that would change the
bill. He wants the Root amendment
defeated. The count shows that he
is two votes shy.
President Returns.

ington from the middle west this

eTS association, + rank NOyeS ana

ciproclty bill. Ridder testified that
he asked the publishers to instruct
their Washington correspondents to
| treat the reciprocity bill favorably In
the news dispatches He said the
press association newspapers were
given both sides of the reciprocity.
Senator McCumber shouted that it
was false. Stone strongly objected
to such language and then Senator
Bailey got McCumber to use the word
unfounded
Senator Clark tried to show a let
ter from Ridder to a newspaper pub
Usher in which it is alleged Ridder
aimed to have the correspondents
color and distort matter on the reci-
procity measure favorable to the bill
Ridder denied that he had written
such a letter and stated that he mere
ly intended to guide the publishers az

AS VICTOR POHL
Ii Is Supposed That Unfortunate Man
Fell from No. 6 While Beating His
Way and Was Instantly Ground to
Death-Body Brought to Local
Undertaking Parlors.

With the trun ksevered in two just
above the hips and a large wound in
the head, the body of a man supposed
to be Victor Pohl was round across the

that he fell from No. while beating
his way and was instantly ground
to death beneath the wheels of sew
eral coaches.
A baggage check belonging to the
Rowland Bros, Transfer Co. of Eu-
gene found in a pocket leads to the
belief that he was in the university
recently and there is positive proof
that he was in Springfield three miles
from Eugene, at least two weeks OF
last month, Three money order re-
ceipts were found among the papers
in his pockets dated at Springfield,
two on May and one on May 20.
They were for the several amounts
Of Sc, $125 and SO but there is Moth
ing on the receipts to show to whom
or where the money was sent. Com
munication VIII be made with the
Springfield postoffice to determine
these facts so that the identity of the
dead man can be established without
a doubt.
There Is but little doubt, however,
but that the victims name was Vic
tor Pohl as a number of letters and
other papers have that name on them.
one of the letters was sent to him at
Wilsall. Montana and contained an
application blank from the L. S. for
estry service.
