The threat of a general railroad strike, which has been bunging like a pall over the coun try for a month, was lifted tonight.

The legislative expedient to avert thn strike was passed In the senate by a vote of 43 to IN almost a strict party xoiv amid stirring scenes, aft er many senators, democrats and re publicans, had fought desperately to amend the measure by provisions de signed to prevent Industrial disaster In the future. Some senators, thor oughly aroused, declared congress was being coerced into enactment of legislation that t did not desire and that H knew I reiurn to plague It In the future.' In both houses the measure was signed w ithin a few minutes ufter the filial vote In the senate and It was sent at once to the white house. where President Wilson w ill sign it at 7:30 tomorrow, after his return from Shadow l.a wn Officials of the brotherhood, who witnessed the final passage of the bill, had announced early in the night that cancellation of the strike would not be ordered until the bill had been signed by the president and actually bad become law.

DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM WILL SUP PLY TERRITORY SOUTH OF TOWN OF MILWAUKIE. The county court Wednesday at the opening of the regular September term, granted the Lakewood Mutual Water Users' association, a corpora tion composed of residents of the Mllwaukle Heights and Lakewood dis tricts, south of the town of Mllwaukle, a franchise to lay and operate a sys tem of water mains on the county roads. The distributing system of the as sociation will connect with the Mil- wauklo mains, which, in turn, are supplied with Hull Run water from Portland. Milwaukle Heights lies outside of the city limits of Mllwau kle, but undor this arrangement will hnvo the same water service as Tort- and. The county court also granted a franchise to the Tappendorf Lumber company of Wllsonville to construct a flume across the county road at its mill. The court ordered the Sarah G. Eisner road in the Bull Run district opened and approved the W. P. Jen nings road in the Meldrum district providing the petitioners pay half of the costs of the road. Who is going to pick the heavy (hop crop of the Willamette valley? Estlmutos are that the number of available pickers would not be more than 50 or 60 per cent of the normal supply. This shortage is accounted for by the decreuse In general unemploy ment. Heretofore the pickers for the Salem district have been recruited chiefly from Portland. This year ef forts are being made to gather people from Albany nnd Lebanon as well. The railroads are making every ef fort to get the entire movement of hop-picker to the fields before Sunday night in advance of the threatened railroad strike. Special trains are being sent out dally by the Oregon Electric and Southern Pacific. The former rond will send out about four trains Sunday. The problem of getting the pickers buck home after their work is ended is not considered very formidable, even If the strike continues. An nouncement by the railroads that pas senger service would be provided would allow this return.

"On May 15 wa9 enacted one of the most diabolic, cruel and dastardly crimes in the annuals of the county," began District Attorney Tongue in his opening statement.

He said the state expects to prove that llennett Thompson is the man who accosted Portland Jitney drivers the night of May 15 aad engaged Fred Ristmun to drive him to Tualatin; that he was In the tonneau of the automo bile when Ristman stopped at Fulton to purchase gasoline; that no one but a man thoroughly familiar with the roads in Washington county could have committed the crimes, and that Thompson had hauled wood over the byroad near which Rlstmau's body was found and knew every foot of the way. He said that no one who was a stranger to the Jennings ranch could have found at night the trail along which the murederer escaped' to the railroad and that Thompson had often visited Mrs. Jennings; that the blood stained wrapping paper and string found in the murder automobile tal lied to the description of Deputy Sher iff Ward of that about a package car ried by Thompson when seen early the night of the murder. "I can't say counsel will not prove what he has said," asserted Mr. Hub- ton. "Whoever committed this cold blooded, dastardly crime should be brought to Justice. I am here to in vestigate this case, to do my duty ns a citizen and to see that a fair deal Is given." Twenty Jurors were examined before Circuit Judge George R. Hagley today, eight of whom were peremptorily chal lenged and excused. The followiug wer finally selected to try the case: George W. Real, Gaston; Daniel Dea ville, Cornelius; E. L.
