INSOLENT TO \ WOMAN

OREGO CITY, Ore, Aug. 6.-lf
there is anything that riles Governor
West, it Is to see a woman ly roughly
treated and his wrath had occasion
to wax warm on his return to Port
land from Oregon City yesterday aft
ernoon.
The governor boarded the o'clock
interurban train for Portland and took
a seat behind one occupied by wo-
man who had four little children. She
had turned the back of the seat ahead
of her and was using two seats for
herself and the four children. There
was said to be plenty of room in the
car but the conductor brusquely told
her either to use one seat or pay fare
for her children. The woman evi-
IDENTIFY was not used to riding in trains
for she looked bewidered and did not
not seem to know what to do. The
conductor very roughly pulled the
hack of the seat the children We're
on towards the lady and brushed her
little ones onto the floor between the
two seats.
That was too much for Governor
West. White with wrath, he collared
the conductor and told him he could
uot treat a woman in that manner
when he was around. After the con-
ductor had apologized for his conduct
the governor paid the children's fare
and took one of them into his own
seat
