ACCUSE EACH OTHER.
Negro Porter and Salesgirls in City
Court on Larceny Charge.

Two salesgirls and q Negro porter
accused one another of stealing waist
from Sixth street shop, where oil were
employed, in the City Court this morning.
1t was oil such a mixed-up affair that the
court dismissed the charge against Gladys
Brown.
Margaret McClenehan admitted that
she had been arrested for stealing one
waist from the same place. She testIhed
that she saw Gledys Brown take one.
Meorge Roach, the Negro, said he received
one waist from Gladys. Margaret Me-
Clenehan was so wavering in her cross
examination by Attorney Philip l.. Car
rett that Judge Daniel O. Hastings thought
the evidence insufficient.

WILSON REFUSES
Continued from page I

The Presidents statement TINT the gov
ernments i policy was 'bnscd on justice 10
NIL in this. il in line with the final word
presented To the union leaders by Director
General Hines at the last conference with
them.
Mr.. Hines was understood to have told
the men that with the return of the roads
to private control under the new railroad
bill an impartial tribunal for considcra-
tion OF their demands would be created.
Mr.. Hines was understood to have
suggested To the President TINT if an in
crease in pay were granted the men, the
roads would seek an increase IN freight
rates, which would mean an increased
living cost. This argument was presented
TO the union leaders on several occasions
by the director-general, it was said, at the
railroad administration. lnasrnuch ms the
unions were pressing strongly for re-
duction in living costs, officials said there
was reason to believe that the lrssident
had employed this in his answer to the
urion spokesmcn.
When the railroad men greeted the
President they told him. he was looking
very well.
II have Just been shaved, said the
President. THAT helps Bit
The President sitting in his wheel chair
in n corner Of the portico, wrapped IN
blanket shook hands with the men when
Secretary Tumulty presented them. They
stood up throughout the conference with
their overcoats on, but their hats IN their
hands. The President pressed them TO
put their hats ON because OF the dampness
but they refused.
After reading his statement the presi-
dent asked them to give consideration 10
his suggestion and they promised to do 50.

Mebbs Jim VIII Climb, Too

Fred Foster. who has charge Of
the Thompson boys sheep on the
Umatilla river. was treed by a bald
face bear not long ago, and stayed
up the tree for quite a spell. Fred
took a shot at the bear with his
trusty pistol. not knowing that she
was a mother bruin with cubs in the
neighborhood. She charged him, and
he made haste to climb a tree. He
then discovered that two cubs were
in a neighboring tree, and that he
had been between the mother bear
and her family. Deciding that dis
cretion would be the better part Of
valor he did no more shooting and
kept discreetly on his perch until
the bear family departed. We hear
certain rumors TO the effect that Jim
Jones is going after that baldface.
