TOWN UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Woman Secretary to Governor West
Issues Edict

Copperfield, Ore, Jan. 5.-Miss
Ferne Hobbs, private secretary to
Governor West, caused this city to be
placed under martial law because her
demand that several councilmen and
other city officials resign was refused
Miss Hobbs ordered Colonel b. X.
Lawton, superintendent of the state
penitentiary, to declare martial law,
and Colonel Lawton did so, the
proclamation being backed by five
members of the coast artillery.
Governor West two weeks ago re.
ceived a protest signed by more than
half the residents of Copperfield against
alleged law violations by saloons here,
one of which was owned by the may
or and another by councilman. II
was charged that liquor was being
sold to minors.
The governor had called upon May
or Stewart to close the saloons and
he refused. When Sheriff Randall
also refused to act Governor West
sent Miss Hobbs to take charge OF
the situation.

MOTHER JONES SAYS
She WILL RETURN
Friend of Miners OepoTted From
Trinidad, Colo.

Denver, Jan. 6.-Preparations were
begun by union officials for the
return of Mother" Mary Jones to
Trinidad, from which place she was
deported by state troops. Adjutant
General Chase has given orders in
Trinidad and Walsenburg that her
appearance in any portion of the
strike region would result in her i'm.
mediate Imprisonment under the in
communicate rule of the military au-
thorities. Deportation, General Chase
said, would not be attempted again, as
the action of the military authorities
was merely to warn Mrs. Jones that
her presence in the strike region
would not be tolerated.
Governor Ammons was of the opin
ion that General Chase considered he
had good cause for his summary ac
tion in ordering Mother" Jones de
portation, and that he would, in all
probability, take no action in the mat
ter Adjutant General Chase took full
responsibility for her forcible election
and remarked.
And if she comes back we will
have a nice little party for her.
Mother" Jones went to a hotel
Immediately upon reaching Denver
and there told her experiences with
the soldiers. She was insistent that
she would return.

new YORK SEEKING
BIG REGIONAL BANK
District Should Include Big Ter.
Titory, FinanCiers Assert.

New York, Jan. 6.-Creation of a
regional reserve bank of commanding
importance in New York was urged
at the first hearing held by the tenn
porary commission from Washington.
The hearing was conducted by Sec
retary McAdoo of the treasury de-
partment and Secretary Houston OF
the department of agriculture. A
number of New York's leading bank.
ers appeared.
The opinion was expressed by many
of the witnesses that in order to Gre
ate a regional reserve bank which
could maintain its position in the
financial centers of America and not
be oyershadowed by the huge re-
sources of the clearing house banks
and outside institutions, it would be
necessary to include practically the
whole Northeast in one region
Charles A. Conant, financial expert
said that the number of regional
banks should be kept as small as pos.
sible. His opinion was that the en-
tire territory northeast of the Potomac
river, including Pennsylvania, should
be embraced in one district.

IMMENSE DAMAGE RESULTS
Storm Along Atlantic Coast Very De
structive to Property.

New York, Jan. 6.-The New Jer-
sey and Long Island coasts, famed for
their summer resorts, vacation and
permanent homes and fishing villages,
suffered a property loss estimated at
from $1,O00.000 to s2,000,0O0 in the
hurricane that swept in from the sea
and ragged for two days.
Seabright, N. j., which was swept
by violent storm on Christmas
night, when an estimated loss of half
a million dollars resulted, was again
the center of the gigantic waves. More
than 100 persons were made homeless
and the summer cottages of New York
and Philadelphia business men tum,
bled into the sea, as did the Octagon
hotel one of the largest summer re-
sorts along the Jersey coast. The
town will appeal for state and federal
aid in the construction of a sea wall
to prevent a recurrence of the disas-
ter.
Heavy losses were reported from
Atlantic City, Longport, Edgewater
Cape May, Ventnor City and Margate
City.
Hundreds of bath houses were
washed away, cottages smashed and
board walks hurled upon the beach.
Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Long
Beach, Rockaway, Arverne and Mon,
tauk Point also were bombarded by
the immense breakers. At Far Rock
away several buildings were under,
mined and hurled into the ocean, in.
Guiding the Pier theater, which seat
ed 1900 persons.
The Kiely cottage, fourteen room
structure at Arverne, was destroyed
and the Avery Bachelor apartments
containing 10 rooms, collapsed into

buildings was occupied.

HOPE TO REGAIN
LOST BUSINESS
Express Companies Agree to
Sweeping Cut in Rates.
TAKE EFFECT ON FEB.

In Some Instances Reductions Are
More Than Fifty Per Cent, Particu.
larly Small Packages, Where the
Parcel Post Is a Dangerous Com
pettor
St Paul, Jan. 6.-New express rates
which go into effect Feb. /, 1914, in,
conformity with an order of the in.
terstate commerce commission, will
include such substantial reductions
from the present rates that the new
order of things is expected to revolu-
tionize the express business of the
entire country and make the carriers
close competitors with the parcel
post for certain classes of business.
In some Instances the reductions are
more than 80 per cent. This is true
especially of the rates on smaller
packages, the handling of which has
been shown the parcel post to be a
dangerous competitor.
But although substantial reductions
have been ordered in the small pack.
age rates, the parcel post charges on
fve-pound packages are still a few
cents lower than the new express
rates. In some instances the express
rates on ten-pOund packages will be
lower than the parcel post rates, es
pecially on long hauls, and a similar
condition will exist with respeC1 to
twenty-pound packages.
Parcel Post Leads in Vicinity.
In the first and second parcel post
zones, which include territory within
$50 miles of ST Paul, Postmaster
Vanish believes the parcel post will
continue TO do the bulk of the small
package business. The rates by par.
eel post in these zones are 9 cents
for five pounds, IA cents for ten
pounds, and % cents for twenty
pounds. Duluth is in the second zone.
The new express rates for Duluth ter.
ritory are expected to exceed this
rate.
Managers of express companies hav.
ing offices in st. Paul say the new
rates, which will affect every city in
the United States, are agreeable to
the express firms. Some of them
frankly admit their companies have
lost much small package business
since the Inauguration of the parcel
post and they believe the reduced ex,
business to its original channels. The
express representatives contend the
public seldom has complained of ex,
press company service and that criti
cism largely has been direscted
against rates.
