Oregon Speaker
. Sees Nebraska in :.
- Tfte Dry Column
Predictionthat Nebraska willgordry
by a majority of 36,600 at the election
November 7;1 was made last nigh by
Clarence True .Wilson of Portland,
Ore., in an address to a crowd which
filled the Boyd theater. This figure, i
'he said, represented the, dry majority
in Oregon two years ago, and he de
clared that observations he had made
in Nebraska convinced him this state
will go dry with at lest that many
votes to spare.
Mr. Wilson's address followed a
brief prohibition argument made by
J. K. Codding, warden of the state
penitentiary of Kansas. He related ad
vantages,Oregon enjoys under prohi
bition and his remarks were frequent
ly interrupted by applause.
Warden Codding submitted statis
tics to prove that liquor is in a large
way responsible for crime and he
gave figures to show that America is
the greatest "crime nation in the
world. This, he asserted, lis due to
the American saloon, which, he de
clared, is in a class by itself. -.He de
scribed prosperous conditions which
have existed in Kansas City, Kan.,
since saloons were driven out in 1906,
and of numerous defeats met since by
open town candidates.
' "It is true we had 31 carnival of
crime in Kansas," he said, "but if Ne
braska and Missouri were dry, this
would not be so."
Posters, issued by he Prosperity
league, which state that" there are
ninety-seven murderers confined in
the. Kansas penitentiary are false, be
asserted. ' . '' ; .
?There are forty-two," he 6aid. "I
know, 'cause I got 'em." '

COPELAND DENIES '
KILLINGLECTORER
Texan, on Trial Charged With
Murder of Anti-Catholic
- Speaker, Tells Story.
DOESN'T KNOW SLAYER
Galveston, . Tex., Oct. 27. John
Copeland, banker, on trial charged
with killing William Black, an anti
Catholic lecturer ; in Marshall, Tex.,
February 3, 1915, took the witness
stand yesterday and denied he shot
Black. - '
He declared the only shot he fired
jvas directed at Clarence F. Hall, the
lecturer's business agent, and said he
did not know who killed Black.
After three other witnesses had
been examined the defense rested.
Copeland did not once, contradict
himself. He said the lecturer was the
first to draw his gun.
Showi Wound.
The most dramatic moment of the
trial time when he bared his body
to shbw the jury the wound in his
abdomen he received when fired on
by Hall, so far fhe chief witness for
the state. He testified that as a re
sult of this and two other wounds, he
was incapacitated for nearly four
nionths." ..
In response to questioning, Cope
land said he went to-confer with
Black and to protest, against his de
livering a second lecture in Marshall
attacking the institutions of the Ro
man Catholic church. He declared he
would not have made the trip if he
had thought trouble would result. t
He armed himself, however, he tes
tified, because, he had been warned
that Black was "a bad man.".
There is a possibility that the jury
wilt receive the case tomorrow night.
Attended School at Convent.
Copeland said he had been cashier
of the Marshall State .bank for the
last eleven years and ' that he had
been married nineteen years, had a
12-year-old daughter and was a mem
ber qi the Roman Catholic church
and the Knights of Columbus. He said
there ws a Catholic convent in Mar
shall and that his daughter attended
school there. His three sisters also
attended school at the convent.
On the morning .of February 3, he
said, he went to the bank as usual
and there heard about a lecture de
livered by William Black the night
before. John B. Teese, who worked
in the bank, told him, he said, and
showed him Black's circular.
"Teese told me that Black in his
speech denounced priests and nuns
and declared the, confessional infam
ous and iniquitous," said Copeland.
, Always Went Prepared.
'"Teese said that Black in the lec
ture stated that he had had several en
counters with Catholics, carried seven
bullets and one stab wound he had
received from Catholics, wa always
on the outlook for trouble and went
always prepared." . . ;
"topqland said he discussed the lec
ture with several persons that day.
He considered it .."a 'direct attack on
my home." ' . V?
Among those he talked With were
Geoxge Ryan, an attorney and John
Rogers, a contractor. That evening,
he said, he went by appointment to
meet Ryan and Rogers and the three
went to the hotel to see Black. t
, "Were you armed?" .v ,
Yes," replied the witness. - "I had
fhe .41 caliber Colt which was offered
in evidence. I did not deem it safe
to go without it. I had been warned

tnat these were bad men. And I re
membered that in his lecture the night
before, Black had said he was pre
pared. '
"Was Rogers armed?"
"No." ' . 1
"Was Ryan armed?" j
' "I couldn't say about that."
Didn't Kill Black.
"Mr. Copeland," said Mr. Royston,
suddenly, "who killed Black?"
"I don't know," said the witness.
"Did you shoot Black?- 1
"No. sir." ' ' v.
"Did you Shoot at Black?"
"No, sir." y ' -:
Copeland said he did not ordinarily
go armed, - 4 . '
He said Black laid down his books
md took a scat on a stool. In this
situation, he explained, Black 'faced
John Rogers, while he, Copeland,
stood at the lecturer's left., '
"I said toi Black," testified the wit
ness, " 'Mr.' Black, weVe come , up
here to enter' a protest against the
lecture you're billed to deliver to
night. We don't like that character
of lecture.'
, "Black, in an insolent manner, re
plied, 'It isn't what ' you like you're
going to get' . .
"Rogers pointed 'his finger at Black
and said, 'You're not-going to deliver
that lecture; you know it isn't right.'
Black said, 'I'm going to deliver that
lecture, all right. .
Brings Out Gun. '
"With that," Copeland said, "Black
brought out his automatic." -t .
A shot was fired, the.witness con
has been No
in the
of
tinued in answer to questions. He
himself did not fire it. Rogers sort
of pitched forward. He was dazed
for an instant, he said, and then he
put his hand on Rogers and let him
down to the tloor.
"Just as I was straightening up,"
Copeland declared, "I saw that Hall
was shooting at me. I got out my
gun and fired. After that my gun
snapped, but did not discharge."
He lowered his gun and walked 6ut
of the room. "
5 "What had all you men agreed on
before you went to see Black?" the
witness was asked on cross exanuna
tion.
"To use aijy reasonable argument
or, if necessary, tell him he should not
slander and outrage us any more."
Rev. James M. Kirwin, vicar general
of the diocese of Galveston, testified
about the requirements for the priest
hood. Sam J. Williams, a fourth de
gree Knight of Columbus, read the
fourth degree oath1 of the Knights of
Columbus. It was in part as follows
"I swear to support the constitution
of the United States. I pledge myself
as a Catholic citizen and Knight of
Columbus, to enlighten mysejt fully
upon my duties as a citizen' and to
conscientiously perform such duties
entirely in the interest of my country
and regardless of all personal conse
quences. I pledge myself to do all in
my power to preserve the integrity
and purity of the ballot and to pro
mote reverence and respect for law
and order. I promise" to practice my
religion openly and consistently."

GOVERNMENT TO
HELPJF1ND WORK
Federal Co -Operation With
Employment Agency Soon to
' Be Established Here.
STATE WILL LEND HAND
.An employment bureau operated
jointly by the federal, state and city
governments will be established in
Omaha within the next month. This
was practically decided last evening
when Anthony Caminctti, United
States Commissioner General of Im
migration, addressed the Welfare
board on the subject. T. F Sturgess
presided. State Labor Commissioner
Coffey, Mayor Dahlmsu and several
citv commissioner met with the board.
The office of the new employment
bureau will probably be in a large
room in the basement of the court
house. The government franking priv
ilege for all correspondence will be
part of the federal contribution to the
bureau. '
Similar co-operative bureaus have
been established in various other
cities. Mr. Caminetti stated that in
the state of Washington the bureaus
had furnished 4,900 men to pick the
berry crop this year; a crop that has
often been largely wasted because of
lack of labor. Washington has legis
lated the private employment bureau
out of existence. -.:"'
To Stabilize Labor.
"This co-Jperative bureau you will
find, stabilizes labor," said Mr. Cam
inetti. '"It takes, men from places
where they are not needed and puts
them where they are needed,. It deals
with the great problem of 'seasonal
employment.' Employers everywhere
are co-operating enthusiastically."
He gave a detailed description of
the working of the bureaus. An "op-
fortuntty lit" is one of its features,
his list is posted in every postoffice
in the state and gives descriptions of
various jobs that are waiting to , be
filled, j
Commissioner Coffey had something
to say about the eVil of the private
employment agencies. : - .

after jobs alleged to pay $3 a day.
"A man with a large family came to

at $35 a month with house free and
fuel and butter and eggs. But it took
$2 to learn where that job was and
he didn't have $i The state had
made insufficient provision to bring
jobs and men together."
Jardine Gives Experience.
City Commissioner Jardine thought
the law dhpuld find some way to deal
with "laborers" who don't, want to
work. He told of a personal experi-.
ence when he went to St Louis,
picked out 135 men out of 5.000 had
them washed and shaved and started
for Omahl with them. On the way
fifty of them disappeared. They
didn't want work.
The bureau toibe established here
will provide work not only for com
mon laborers, but for professional
people, such as teachers. There will
also be a special department for
woman and girls. Mr. Caminetti will
return to Omaha in about twenty
davs. bv which time it is expected the
final arrangements will be made for-
the establishment of the Omaha bu
reau. y
