say that she expects to reach Copper

remain there only few hours between

she insisted that she was proceeding

brought about by peaceful tactics, rath-

THINKS SPECIAL
SESSION WOULD NOT
SOLVE PROBLEM
UNITED Pnnss LEASED wIRE,l


San Francisco, Jan. 2.-Governor
johnson today declined to indicate
whether he would accept the invita-
tion of $500 unemployed men here and
appear at specified vacant lot to tell
them what he proposed to do to relieve
their condition.
The men called at the governor $
home yesterday afternoon to present
their demands in person, but the gov.
ernor and his family were away. The
men left word with the housekeeper
that they wanted the executive to ap.
pear at the vacant lot to tell them how
the state proposed to provide the idle
men immediate work at SO day.
johnson later issued statement say.
ing that he sympathized with the un.
employed people, but that special ses.
sion of the legislature, as suggested,
would be useless. The Legislature, he
said, could do nothing to relieve the
distress. He said he expected the state
labor commissioner to make report
soon on conditions, and to indicate
what it is necessary for the various mu-
inequalities to do to remedy the trouble,

Surnise She VIII Read Proclamation
Declaring Martial Law and Leave
Rest to Lawson.
LnNIrnp rRrss LrAsnp w1RE. ]

Portland, Or, Jan. 2.-Although Miss
Fern Hobbs, private secretary to Gov
ernor West, insisted last night as she
passed through Portland that he was
alone on her trip to Copperfield, Or,
with the declared purpose Of closing the
saloons of that town, it developed that
on the same train on which she left at
$40 p. M, there were B. X. Lawson,
superintendent Of the state penitentiary
and five mon, provided with the where.
withal to close the saloons by force if
the proprietors do not close them peace
fully themselves.
Just why Miss Hobbs has been sent
to the scene of the trouble, in view Of
the fact that Superintendent Lawson
and his men are going along to do the
work, is mystery, and just what Miss
Hobbs is going to do is still greater
mystery.

REPORTS or HOSTILITY
TO IRISH PARTY

Dublin, June 9.-John f. Redmond,

statement tonight In which ne emphatt-
cally denied the reports that the irish
Volunteer movement is hostile to the OBJ
iect OF the Irish party, and added
Up 10 TIVE months age felt that the
volunteer movement was somewhat pre-
mature. but the effect of Sir Edward
Carson's threat upon public opinion IN
England, the House OF Commons and the
government and successful gun running
in Ulster virtually altered the position
and the Irish party took steps about six
weeks ago to inform their friends and
supporters that in their opinion it was
desirable to support the volunteer move
ment. As result it has spread within
the last six weeks like prairie fire ana
all the Nationalist in Ireland shortly
