Portland, Or, Sept. 12.-Backed
by letter, which they claim was
written by ]. P. O'Brien, head of the
Hartman system in the Northwest,
to Julius Kruttschnitt, general man
ager of the Hartman lines, leaders
of organized labor today came out
with the fiat-footed charge that the
Hartman system does discriminate
against It's union employees, and has
been discriminating for months.
The letter, which was dated April
8, 1911, was written partly in code.
AS translated, 1t reads as follows:
"Messrs. Mohler and Bancroft are
agreeable for advances for opera
tors and agents who are not opera
tors, who do not belong to labor or
ganizations, and have arranged same
on o. W. r. G N. as of March first.
Will advise further in regard to the

1T DIFFERENT MEANING.

Expressing his profound astonish-
ment at the fact that Secretary of
State Olcott should be audacious
enough to interpret a law, and ac-
cusing him of trying to stand pat"
with the farmers, w. ]. Clemons,
president of the Portland Automobile
club, has written the secretary Of
state ,soundly reprimanding him.
The law referred to is the automo-
bile law. Attorney-General Craw-
ford, in constituting it with relation to
the necessity of placing lights on mo-
tor vehicles, held that it did not ap-
ply to farmers vehicles, or any 9TH
ers not driven by motor power. Fol
lowing the attorney-general's opinion
the secretary of state gave out an
interview on the subject. Clemons
read that interview, and he immedi-
ately sat down and wrote the secre-
tary of state, advising him that 1000
automobilist in Portland didn't take
kindly to his play to "stand pat
wit hthe farmers and also advising
hm that he, for one, would not fol-
low the secretary's Interpretation OF
the law but that he intended to have
it construed bp the supreme court.
'I never thought about the farm
ers.' he is crazy" was Olcott's only
remark upon reading the letter.

Alta, CAL, Sept. 12.-Total wreck
of the Wright biplane in which he
hoped to win a $50,000 newspaper
prize for crossing the continent, to-
day brought Aviator Robert G..
Fowler's fight from San Francisco
to New York to an inglorious end
near this little mountain town.
Fowler was uninjured.
After his successful flight from San
Francisco to Auburn yesterday
Fowler was supremely confident to-
day whom he started to tune up his
machine at Auburn. He had some
difficulty in starting from the rough
ground on which he landed there,
but finally got away at 9:34 this
morning.
All went we'll until Fowler reached
ColfaX which town he passed at 1855
this morning. At that time he was
1000 feet in the air, and was max
ing about 55 miles an hour.
AS Fowler neared this station he
began to have trouble, and, feeling
that his rudder was going wrong, he
started to volplane toward the
earth. Just as he neared the ground,
the rudder went entirely wrong, and
the machine crashed down on a hill
side, short distance from the South
ern Pacific station here, piling itself
up in a mass of splintered wood,
twisted iron and rent canvas. Fowl
er leaped from the saddle of the fly
er just as it struck the earth, and,
except for a few minor bruises, was
uninjured. He was much disap-
pointed at the unlucky termination
of his flight, but rejoiced to learn
that his engine was only slightly
damaged.
The aviator refused to state pos
itively when he would make an ef-
fort to continue his fight, but de-
clared himself undaunted by the mis-
hap, and declared that, despite the
handicap he had suffered, he would
still be the first to cross the continent
through the air.
After the accident Fowler said:
"My vertical rudder quit for some
reason, and all / could do was to go
around in circles. | swung to the left
in spirals, and then dropped. The
machine hit couple Of trees, dam
aging the planes badly, although the
engine is all right. My back is
wrenched, but there is not bit of
skin off anywhere 1t will take three
or four days to rebuild the machine. :"
