Eccentric Pair
In Oregon Cells
Facing Gallows
by United Press Leased wire

SALEM, Ore, May 21.-Two mer
counted the hours today until the
springing of the gallows Friday
morning win end their lives.
They are probably the strangest
condemned men the Oregon prison
has ever held.
Arthur Covell, crippled astrologer
of Coquille, will pay the penalty
for numbering his sister-in-law. He
said lie read her fate in the stars
and obeyed their bidding. But the
very stars that directed him through
the crime played him false and led
him TO his doom.
The other doomed man is L. W.
Peare, a rancher of Coos county.
Peare was an eccentric old fellow
whom his neighbors said was rather
"queer.'
One day he drank some of his
own home made moonshine and
went crazy. He slew his wife and
then 4 neighbor, James Culver.

It's Up To New
Jury To Act In
Directors Case

j into serving the interests of the
enemies of the valley who are try
ing to throw out of office the di-
rectors whose "offense is that
they have successfully blocked the
selfish and greedy desires of the
MeXiean land interests and the
power trust in the matter of the
Colorado river development. The
principal complaint made in these
accusations against the directors
was that they had spent some of
the public money to advance the
valleys s legislation in Washington,
which expenditures were alleged to
have been illegal and unlawful, and
therefore constituted wilful and
corrupt misconduct on the part of
the directors.
Judge Marvin w. Conkling,
when attorney for. the district, was
the first one to advise them that
they have power and authority to
spend money to secure favorable
federal legislation fand he himself
was the first beneficiary of that
ruling. having drawn down $539.40
Of the district s money on August
3, 1914, for his first trip to Wash
ingtOn, and $62505 on November
80. 1914, for his second trip. Sub
sequeEtly every attorney who has
had occasion TO advise the district
has advised that the directors had
the right to eXpend money to send
delegates TO Washington to help the
valley Legislation. Among the
lawyers who have thought this was
an entirely proper and legal prac-
tice, and who have themselves ac
eepted the mondy of the district
for perform:ags such service are:
John Stewart i.o-s, 15T 1'Icfnerrin,
Walter Kibby and Others.
Now, however, since the dis
triet has foiled the purpose of the
power corporations and the Los
Angeles Times crowd TO grab the
Colorado river. the action of the
directors suddenly becomes lille
gal, unlawful and corrupt y, and
was a sufficient excuse at least on
which to try 10 put them out of
office. However, the people have
he last say. and l do not believe
hat they viii permit these public
officials who havs done no wrong
,xcept to fight for the peoples
lights to be thrown out Of office
N any technical or trump.ed' up

EVERY EFFORT Is
MADE TO PUNISH
PRISON SLAYERS

That every effort is being made
to punish the slayers of Antonio
Hernandez, who was killed in a riot
at San Quentin prison in March, is
the report made by the state de-
partmcnt at Washington to the
Mexican embassy, which had ask
ed that q complete investigation be
made, due 10 the fact that Herman
deZ was 4 Mexican subject.
The report to the state depart
ment was made by Governor Rich
ardson, who also advised that the
case had been investigated by the
Mexican consul general al San
Francisco.
Hernandez was Il prisoner from
Imperial county, having been sent
to san Quentin from here over
year ago to serve from one to 15
years for robbery and assault with
Il deadly weapon. While member
of the chain gang serving a SEN
tence for 4 misdemeanor, Herman
dez and two other Mexicans took
away It gun from a guard who had
them in charge while they were
being transported to work in
truck, and ordered the driver of the
truck TO take them to Mexico.
Through 4 ruse on the part of the
guard, Hernandez and his compan-
ions We're led to believe that they
had reached Mexico. while they
were still on this side of the line
They robbed the guard of his watch
and money and We're proceeding to-
ward CaleTieo when they We're cap
tured.
Two other men We're killed in the
riots at san Quentin which cost
Hernandez his life.

Six months of freedom. after

laDOr leaders. he opened mis- remarks
by stating that in the fossilized reac-
tionary A. F. Of L., revolution was be-
ginning to be feared as never before
The millionaire labor leaders had
made every attempt to keep the mill
tant element at the convention from
being heard. In spite Of their close
watch, however, the progressives man
aged to submit seven resolutions. The
resolutions for recognition of Soviet
Russia, for the abolition of child la
Dor, against injunctions, for interna-
tional trade union unity, for relief Of
the unemployed, for labor party in
America were all referred to the reso-
buttons committee. The delegates al
lude to this committee as the burial
ground.
Comrade Engdahl declared that the
treachery and betrayal of working
class interests by the socialist trade
union leaders was further demonstrat,
ed at this convention. Zaritsky of the
Capmakers', Sigman of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion, and Kaufman of the Furriers did
not lift a voice in protest against the
actions of the Greens and the Lew
Uses in killing resolutions of such
great Importance to the workers. The
socialist delegation, together with the
reactionaries of the A. F. of L., re-
fused to support the Sacco-Vanzetti

MANY SOCIETIES
PROTEST BRUTAL
POLICE RAIDS
Denounce Raids Upon
Cleveland Chinese

CLEVELAND, Ohio. oct. 20-The
unwarranted raid of the Cleveland po-
lice department on the Chinese colony
has reused protests from many organ
ization over the high handed methods
used by the police in the arrest Of 600
innocent Chinese workers, students
and merchants because OF an unsolved
murder of one Chinese tongman.
"Flndins Guilty cuIprit."
The tong killing which resulted in
the raids to find the guilty culprit"
was but one Of over 100 unsolved MUIR
ders that have taken place in Cleve-
land since the first of the year. The
method used to find the guilty cul'
prit" among the Chinese was not re-
sorted to in the other unsolYed muir
ders.
"cleanIng Up City"
Safety Director Barry, when roundly
criticized for his damnable action,
claimed that it was an attempt TO
clean up the city's dirtiest section.
The different societies Of Cleveland
could not be convinced that it was
necessary to raid, arrest 500 Chinese,
hold them in prison incommunicado
for days crowded into cells so that
they must stand still all the time that
they were in there, in order TO make
Cleveland a cleaner city.
Race Segregation.
Cleveland is noted for its attempt to
keep the darker races in segregated
district which has been allowed to
deteriorate. The streets and houses
have few repairs. Neither the land
lords nor the city administration pays
much attention to complaints from
residents in these districts.
Even the reactionary Cleveland Bar
Association was Mortified at the high
handed methods of the police and de-
mands that the city of Cleveland
apologize to the Chinese consul in
Washington, d. c., and destroy the
Bertillon measurements and the I'm
gerprints which the police subjected
every Chinese to that fell into their
grip.
Pregnant Women Terrorixed.
The raid was organized in such
manner that every house in the dis
trict was broken into and everyone
found in. the house arrested and
brought to the filthy Cleveland jail.
A number of women who were preg-
nant have been sent to hospitals
after their incarceration in the crowd
ed cells where they could not sit
down, and the hospital doctors claim
/ that lifelong injury has been done
these women and that the children
that win be born will be marked lor
life because of the terrible experience
which their mothers have passed thru.

RIVERA BOAST
OF VICTORIES
CAME TOO SOON
Riffs Invade Spanish and
French Lines
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

FEE, French Morocco, Oct. TO-
When Primo de Rivera, the Spanish
dictator, told newspaper correspond
ents that the Moroccan war was end
ed and claim to have defeated the
forces of Abd-el-Krim, little did he
realize the determination with which
the Moroccans are fighting for their
independence.
Primitive Warfare
With Abd-el-Krim's forces number
ing but $4,000 tribesmen scattered all
over the Riffian country in small
bands against the combined force of
100000 French and Spanish troops
pitched battles are little to be ex-
pected. The Riffian tribesmen resort
to the guerrilla form Of warfare which
is highly effective.
Riffs Smash Imperialists' Lines
The Riffs attacked the Spanish near
Adjir and ambushed two squadrons
Of French cavalry near Taxa. The
Moroccan tribesmen break thru the
French and Spanish lines continually,
forcing the French and Spanish
troops to be on their guard at all
times and to be equipped to the full
est possible extent.
Rain Stops Aviation Bombing
The French bombing squadrons
consisting chiefly of American mer-
cenaries are unable to do any bomb
ing or to bring food to the troops that
are isolated in their posts by the
tribesmen, because of the heavy
downpour which also continues to
turn the Moroccan fields into mud
impossible to the heavy transport
wagons and guns of the French and
Spanish
Must Stay Thru Winter
When General Primo de Rivera
made his boast that the war in Nor
Deco was over, he told of his plans
to withdraw some of the troops which
he has in the land. Up to the pres
ent day very few soldiers have been
allowed to return to Spain. General
Primo de Rivera is now telling his
staff to prepare for winters stay
and to build suitable quarters so that
they could resist the climatic change.

out to the delegates that conditions
n England were creating a basis for
revolution. He said that the duties
of the trade unions were to prepare
for the taking over Of the industries
and government, as the Russian work
ers have done. He also stated that on
his last visit to Soviet Russia with
the British delegation, he was amazed
at the progress made by the workers
in building up the economic order in
Russia. Therefore, he maintained
that il is the duty of organized labor
the world over to support the workers
and farmers of Russia. The delega-
ton Of reactionary labor leaders was
taken aback by this report. Green, in
answer, launched vitriolic attack on
Purcell, on Soviet Russia and on the
Communists in America
But Workers Are Enthusiastic.
Comrade Engdahl informed us Of a
splendid meeting held in the working
class section of Atlantic City. I'm the
near future" he said, Comrades
Tomsky and Losovsky will visit us as
real representatives of the working
class. In spite Of the hatred and
treachery of the reactionary labor
leaders, the message Of Communism is
being accepted by the working class
and when the conditions are ripe in
America, the workers will do as the
Russian workers have done"
