Gopperfield, Ore., Jan. 2.—Martial law was declared here today by Col B. K. Lawton, superintendent of the state penitentiary. Five members of the coast artillery backed up the proc lamation. This action followed a demand made by Miss Fern Hobbs, private secre tary to Governor West, for the tesi?- nations of members of the city coun oil and other city officials who are ac cused of violating an ordinance regu lating saloons. When her demand was refused the governor’s representative ordered Col, Lawton in place the town under mar- tail law. Then she boarded a train to return to the State capital. Col. Lawton's small force began op erations by raiding the saloons of which they took charge. The proprie tors were given until 4 o’clock tomor row to ship their bar fixtures and li quors out of the coufity on penalty of confiscation. Ail of the city ofiiciais were placed under an-est and ware held “incora- murjcando,” not being permitted to .ommunic.ite with sttomeyi. 'The following are the demands made by the governor: “First—^for the resignation of the mayor and such, members of the cousi- are proprielyry and employed in and about any establishment dis- penair;g iiiioxicating Iiquor.s. “Second—That until a complete re organization of the city government can be undertaken all saloons be clos ed forthn-ith and be kept closed. “Third—io prevent any possibility of liquor beiriK sold that the stock on hand be shipped oat r.f tUe city and that it be delivered to the lailroad .sta tien for shipment r:ot later than 4 o'clock p. m., Saturday, Jan. .3. 1S14J Two weeks ago Governor West re ceived a protest signed by more than haif the residents of Copperfield against alleged taw violations by sa loons here, one of which was owned by the mayor and another by a coun- cilaiait. It was charged that liquor was being sold to minor.s and that closing hours were not observer. The governor called upon Mayor Stewart to close the saioons and he refused. When Sheriff Sand also re- fuseh to aot, Governor West sent Miss Hobbs tn take charjre of the situa- ion. t Portland, Ore., Jan. 2.—After com ing to Portland late today and .sum moning twenty militiamen, under the command of Adjutant General Fin- zer, to accompany him to Copperfield to aid in enforcing martial law, Gov ernor West received a message from Colonel Lawton saying the situation Wn.i well in iianci. Governor Wes.i dis persed the militia and returned to Sal-m. After Four Days of Hasping Cannon Fire, Armies Are Resting. Presidioh, Texas, Jan. :2.—After driving a rasping cannon fire into the federal army at Ojinaga, Mexico, for four days. General Ortegi,s rebel army today fell back, it was reported on the American side, to await arrival of ammunition on the way from Chi huahua. The almost impregnable po sition of the 4,000 federals enabled them to hold out against the superior number. Each time the rebels charg ed they were compelled to fall back. Though they were flanked pit three aides and the United States bord^ pa trol had prepared for a possiWe re treat of their whole army to , Ameri can territory, the federals fought per sistently. It appeared that the rebels were drawing the federal fire merely to ex haust it. The plan of drivijig out the federal forces by skirmishing was in line with usual guerilla tactics of the rebels who seldom make an ingress- ive charge. So far rebel losses have been heavi est due to the federals’ superior range. Federal deserters reported that they had less than 200 killed, number of wounded unknown, while rebel losses would exceed that num ber. Two federal deserters attempted to reach the American side today. The wounded were cared for by the Red Cross. Dr. F. A. Braden, the Red Cross agent, reported that he had 60 wounded in the mission church, rie telegraphed to El Paso that he thought ’tiis medical force sufficient. with the edge of the sword, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he 'vas.yet speaking tbere came also another^ »uu said the fire of God is fallen from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed themi and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.” Mr. Holton said he knew nothing of the Hammer charges 'other than what he had seen in the newspapers. He disclaimed any interest in the matter and declare^ that he was too busy looking after thi: ^ny duties of his office to bother about Demo cratic rows within their owsi ranks. It developed today, however, that the enemies of W. C. Hammer, are not idle. Quite a number of affidavits which purport to show Hammer’s un fitness for the office are already here and niore are coming. The depart^ ment of justice, however, refuses to show these afBdawts but in semi-of ficial circles it is admitted that they are on file and that they are anything but complimentary to the Asheboro man. District Attorney Holton came to Washington primarily to talk with Commissioner Osborn and Depart ment officials over; the pending suit against the bondsmen of N. G. Wil liams involving a transaction of about $18,000 which the government claims is due them on whiskey dis tilled but which was never delivered to the government warehouse and therefore the bonding companies are held responsible for the amount of the bond. "The case is set for trial at Greensboro January 7. . - Eepresentative Page has recom mended L. E. Huggins to be postmas ter at Marshville. Fight on .Mr. Hammer Has Jus! Cum menccd. Washington, Jan. 2.—It developed Canal Nearly Beaidy. Washington, Jan. 3.—The Panama canal will be in condition to pass ves sels all the way across the isthmus within the next 70 days, it was learn ed today, unless unexpected obstacles are encountared. This is the judg ment of a high canal official, who de clines to fix the date more definitely. The only remaining obstacie.s to prevent the passage of vessels now are the Cucaracha slide, which blocks the cut at Culebra, and other small slides int he same locality. Dredging is progressing satisfactorily on tiie.>;e slii)de.s, 111 view of the uncertain conditions .surrounding the work it has ben deem ed impolitic to atte:npt to fi.v a defi nite date for the opening. Even after a t;:'.ssage is possible several moiiths must be spent in training the operat ing force before the waterway is opened to commerce. Progressive Party »o Start Work Soon . Washington, ./an. 3.—The Progres sive party, in line with the action cf the Democratic National Committee and the Republican Congresional Committee has established campaign headquarters in Washington and pre liminary work '.viM .soon be started faliy. Representative Hinebaugh, of Illi nois, chairman of the Progressive Coii- gressiona! Campaign Committee, has sent to the chairman of the Central Committee of every State a letter an nouncing the completion of the Con gressional organization. The Pro- tjressive headquarters will be continu- e here until July and then transferr ed to New York and Chicago. Chairman Hii-.ebaugh in his latter to t:ie State chairman urges the nom- i;;at!oii of a candidate for Congress in every district and the making of straight county tickets in a'ii of the counties Gwnposing the congressional districts. Most of the chairmen heard Daniets’ Pian for Navy Instraction. "Washington, Jan. 4.—Secretary Jo sephus Daniels’ plan for academic and technical instruction of enlisted men of the navy were made public today by the Navy Department. The float ing schools will be in session an hour and a quarter daily, except Saturday, Sunday and holidays, three quarters of the time being devoted to academic instruction and the remainder to man- of-war work. Mr. Daniels’ hopes for the success of this innovation are summarized in this passage from the gener-al order putting the educational system into effect: “The ;;u.-i:£ss- of t’ne educational system which is tentatively outlined and which is in some measure a new departure in nacal routine will neces sarily depend upon the energy. Zeal and direct personal leadership of al! officers in the navy and upon the earn est efforts and ambition of the enlist ed men. ft is confidently anticipated in view of the traditional interest cf officers in the welfare of their men and consideiing the superior quality of the men who enlist in the Americar Navy, that any difficulties encounter ed in carrying out this system soon will disappear and that the men fully appreciate the zealous efforts and Kindly interept of their officers, vtill respond to sympathetic in.sti-uction in a manner that will resulr not only in the promotion of their individual welfare^ tut in the increased efficiency of the fleet in all practical directions.” Academic educati'^n, embracing reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, geography will be compulsory fofr ail who are not well-grounded in these common school branches, until a satis factory standard ha.^s been reached. Man-of-w.ir instruction will embraco those subjects which every n>an on boardship irrespective of his rating, should know. Text books will be prepared at the Naval Academy. Instniction on board ship will be under the direction of the commanding officer, (sther nfficers actiiig aa inst-.uctors. .ere today that se^^ral ieading Dem- ^^i"^baugh said today, mad. crat.s in'>*rih CoiviUna ’.vho are on- posed to the appc-ii,tme:!t cf W.

E. Holton, the charges w’hic’n involve t’ne now famous affidavit made by Ham mer in the Asheboro post office fight will be the one that will be pressed upon the attorney genera! most 'rig orously. One or two prominentNorth Caro linians who were in Washington this week say that the story carried in the Daily News last Sunday gave the first real inside information as to tne nature of the affidavit filed by Ham mer. The very nature of the affi davit makes it impossible for a news paper to go into details, because wo men and children are involved, but it is now pretty well understood what the affidavit contaiv^ed. In addition to the protest made by Henry A. Page and other Democrats, the Republicans are preparing a vol- dme of chiu'ges to he filed against “In some states,” said Mr, Hine baugh, “the chairmeji reported that the I’rogressives not only have organ ized but have raised funds to prose cute a vigorous campaign in Maine, Vermont, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa. Wo will have in- the next House at least live Progressive cot;- gressmen from eastern states that are i!ow represented by Republican mem bers.” Mr. Hinebaugh said that so far no plans had been discussed regarding the participation of former President Roosevelt, now in South America, in the coming campaign, but that the Progressives in congress expect he will take part. Mr. Holton Quotes Scripture to Show Where He Cornea In. Wa.shington, Jan. 3.—“I am not worrying over the district attorney ship,” said A. E. Holton, when asked today if he had anything to say with reference to the proposed change in the district attorney’s office for west ern North Carolina. “I refer you to the Bible, first chapter of Job, 15th and 16th verses,” said Mr. Holton. “Captain Gunther stated that last Sunday at 7:30 a. mi, during the heavy wither and without ^(-.y pre vious warning the ship suddenly broke in two betwen tiie bridges. In about 22 minutes the afterpart i.' tue ship with a crew of 32 men, sank. The forepart was kept afloat -jy the bulivhead. Lifeboats either w.^r.t down with the ship or were smashed im mediately after the catastrophe. “On the evening of Jan. 4, a Span- j ish steamer (probably the '(lanuel Calvo) )ha)d )ppearedaetaot iPffeia Calvo) had appeared in the vicinity of the Oklahoma, but was uuable | owing to bad weather, to accomplish anything. Immediately after th-; Ba varia reached the scene rhis orning, the United Fruit steamer Tenadores arrived at the scene of the disasteir, blit there was nothing left to be done, the Bavaria having taken off the "men.” Another message from Captain Graalfs said: “According to statements made by some of the itien saved, a boat from the stern part of the Oklahoma, with from 8 to 10 men in it, was saved It’s whereabouts is not known,” Although several vessels were standing by the distressed tank lin er, the Hamburg-American Line freighter, Bavaria, 'oouind from Phila delphia, to Boston, was the only one able to render assistance. She report ed by wireless shortly after 9 o’clock this morning that she had been able to take off Captain Alfred Funter, Chief Mate Bert Iverson, Second Mate Knute.Dahle; Thir?-Mste Carl Ek- lunde, Operator William Davis, Boat man Christian Rasmussen, Quarter master Hamilton and Harman Erick son, the ship’s carpenter. No mention was made of the remainder of the crew, 30 in number. The Oklahoma was owned by the Gulf Refining Company, was 2,785 tons net and 419 feet long. She left here Saturday for Port Arthur, Tex. She was valued at $700,000. Although the disaster occurred less than 100 miles off Sandy Hook, the wireless reports throughout the night iwere meager and conflicting. The ■ isme of the distressed vessel was variously reported as the Wasca, un heard of and unregistered in shipping circles; the Penuoit, chartered by the Standard Oil Co., and the tank steam er Deieware. Tiie Spanish liner Manuel Calvo, the Royal Mail Liner Caribbean and other vessels stood by the distressed craft throughout the night, but were apparently unable to identify her. The Caribbean reported this fore noon that the crew had been rescued but did not give tha name of the vessel. In aiinouncing the saving of p&rt the Oklahoma’s crew, the Bavaria added that the vessel had not sutjl:! cmtireiy but was partly submerged and driftirig helplessly. Among those who sailed on the Oklahoma and who are believed here to be lost is Captain Loring A. Catas. of Boston, fonnprly commander iS the steamship Ligonier. Gapt. Cates was aboard as a passenger on his way to take command of another ves sel. NEW SHOES FROM OLD ONES ■ Conr--? in &nJ U t us you whst i-i-i n^sisnt.

Kight member.si of thee rew were res cued by the Hamburg-.^meriean Line steamer, Bavaria, whose captain say.s sdme of the Oklahoma’s men told him they saw ,an open boat of the Okla homa put away from the wreck with 10 men in it. This information was contained in a wireless dispatch received tonight by the Hamburg-American Line here from Captain Graslfs of the steamer Bavaria, which is proceeding to Bo.s- ton with eight survivors of the tank er on board. The message which came by way of siasconset said; “On January 5 at 6 a. m., we sight ed signals of distress of vessel. The seas were high and rough. At dawn we saw the forepart of a steamer floating on the water. It was the tank steamer Oklahoma, from New York. “At 8 a. m.> we were close to the wreck and lowered a boat with jix men who seized a rope thrown them from the Oklahoma. The men of the of cattle headed by a well-ayed bull, canie trottint,- down the road on their way to the .slaughter bouse. The bull sighted the apples. He glared at an extra large crimson pip pin lolliiig i.“i the middle of the heap. The pippin glared back. There was a roar of rage and it began-raining apples for 15 feet down the highway. The bull had scattered the heap of fruit and charged in the doarway, gor ing a bunch of bananas and stabbing two bushels of pop-corn enroute. A startled clerk weighing out a peck of cow peas for old Mrs. Jones around the corner, just had time to leap when the bull rang up $50 on the cash reg ister witli the end of his horns and kicked over a chicken coop with his left hind leg. For 15 minutes his bullship investi gated stock and account, while a crowd of clerks trembled outside. All efforts having failed to dislodge the animal the beseigers were about to give up in despair when the bull walk ed out and up the road to the slaugh ter house of his own accord.
