Slow, gentle rain yesterday through out practically all of western Oregon gave farmers and orchardists the first beneficial rain for several weeks. It was not deemed of sufficient strength to destroy wheat in shocks, while garden crops, orchards and pastures were benefited. The official calculation for Portland shows that .34 of an inch fell during th 24-hour neriod ending at 7 P. M. While Baker had but a trace of rain, Marshfield had .30 of an inch. At Medford .20 of an inch fell and the same at Roseburg. The rain began at 7 o'clock yester day morning and fell intermittently throughout the entire day. Practically all forest fires menac ing national forests were checked by the rain and with the prospect of more rain today and tomorrow for estry agents announced the end of the tire period for this year. K. W. Kelly, forest inspector of Washington, D. C, who has just com pleted a tour of Idaho, Washington and Oregon, announced that the rain brought the season to an early close, and that damage this year would be less than in any past season. At Hood River a slow steady rain was said by orchardists to be splen did, for this year's crop of apples. Toward Chehalis. Wash., where considerable grain remained in shocks and in sacks in the field, it was 6aid some damage was probably done. A storm at the mouth of Columbia river yesterday morning commenced with a 7Q-mile gale, but shortly after noon had died down to 10 miles. For the first time in weeks, storm warn ings were last night ordered flown off the coasts of Oregon and Wash ington. But a trace of rain was felt In sections of the eastern half of Ore gon, but, with a. northeasterly wind, it was expected that district would receive a good precipitation today.

Serious Outbreaks In Event Lord Mayor MacSweeney's Death. Are Feared. of RAINFALL PROVES ' WELCOME Hood River Orchardists, Lumber men and Others Jubilant. HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 27 (Spe cial.) The steady rainfall here today made orchardists, lumbermen and county officials jubilant. The rain will benefit apples, tending to in crease their size. Gardens are helped.

(Copyright by the New York "World. Pub' Ushed by Arrangement-) DUBLIN, Aug. 27. (Special Cable.) Orders have been given to the Irish volunteers to use the full force of their organization to prevent seri ous rebellious outbreaks in the event of Lord Mayor MacSweeney's. death. Volunteer leaders have gone to Cork where trouble Is expected first, to maintain order and not to be led by what they regard as provocation into a disastrous uprising. The volunteers, however, are not sure they can hold down the wrath of the people and fear such an increased struggle between the people and the soldiers as to amount virtually to re bellion. The high sheriff of Cork told Dublin castle the same thing. I am informed on excellent authority that the difficulty about releasing Mac Sweeney lies in a promise Premier Lloyd George gave to the military au thonties in Ireland when he put through the coercion bill. According to my informant, the military authorities of Ireland, backed by Lord French, were against the co ercion bill and when the government insisted in placing upon them the duty of enforcing it they insisted upon an agreement from Lloyd George promising not to interfere They foresaw hunger strikes and said that if they were to carry out the ruthless measure it must be done un falteringly. Lloyd George s attitude so far bears this out. It now is appearing pub licly, as, I cable at the time, that Mac Sweeney was arrested because he was the leader of the Munster volunteers, but the court-martial for some unex plained reason preferred to try him on a lesser charge. I learned recently in Cork that th government had seized sufficient evi dence to try him as a rebellious leader. When he was arrested three other prominent volunteers also were taken, but were released because they were not recognized as men the gov ernment wanted. They now are busy trying to prevent a rebellion. The Sinn Feiner realized that in the in surrection is its greatest danger, par ticularly at this moment, when the Protestant north is renewing attacks on Catholics. This type of bigotry is so foreign to the south and west of Ireland that not a single case has yet been reported of retaliation on the man ythousands of Protestants in the south. If MacSweeney is permit ted to die the Sinn Feiners of the south and west are expected to in crease their political retaliation on the police and the military in Ireland, and it is consi'dered possible the re taliation may 6trike h'rher, perhaps in England. DUTY EVADED, IS PLAINT ,il NO --JT"LQ li- Mil SAro5c T SENATOR TO URGE SUPPORT OF W ILLAMETTE HIGHWAY. Mandamus Threatened Unless Re lief Given That Will Reduce Street Car Fare. The public service commission of Oregon - is charged with evasion of duty and "passing the buck" in call ing for the special election which failed to recmove "unjust and dis criminatory burdens" from the Port land Railway, Light & Power com pany, and. in a letter written by John W. "Kaste, a local attorney, is threatened with mandamus proceed ings if it does not, within three days o receipt of the communication, order the relief specified and "thereupon reduce the etreet-car fare, com mensurate with the savings accruing by said order to the end that the pennies may remain in the pockets of the poor and the needy." The oemand is made that the rail way company be relieved immediate ly, by authority vested in the com mission, of franchise taxes,- bridge rentals, paving charges and the neces sity of giving free rides to city em ployes. Mr. Kaste's letter quotes the de cision of the commission, after a lengthy hearing, that charges out lined were unjust and that the voters or Portland had power to furnish relief. ' "It appears to me from a careful reacung or tne act creating your nonoraoie body and from subsequent acts vesting you with, power and authority, that you, the commission, possessed the power and that it wae your duty to have done what you asked the people of Portland to do for you," asserts the attorney. "That is, your honorable body pos sesses ample and sufficient power, and is vested not only with authority to act, but it is your mandatory duty to act, in the premises and to do the very thing which you have asked the people of Portland to do for you." ATTEMPT IS VAIN, BELIE Salem Attorneys Say Rate Case Will Not Be Reopened. SALEM, Or., Aug. 27 (Special.) That the attempt of certain residents to re-open the rate case of the Port land Street Railway Light & Power company through an application filed with the Oregon public service com mission urging an order of that body eliminating bridge tolls, free rides ior municipal employes, traction as sessments andi other burdens, will be in vain was the opinion expressed here today by attorneys who have given the application considerable thought. .me petition to re-open the case sets out that under section 61. of Oregon laws of 1911, the Oregon pub lie service commission not only has tne power but it is their dutv to elim inate burdens placed upon the traction corporation by the City of Portland. The application was received at the omces or the public service commis sion several months ago and the pe titioners sought a hearing of the mat ter in July. This hearing was re- rusea Dy the commission. More recently the commission re ferred the application to' Attorney- uenerai crown, together with a re quest for a legal opinion as to wheth er it was possible to re-open the case ana eliminate the burdens now im posed on the street railway company. Mr. Brown is no wat Roseburg, and state officials said he probably would give an opinion immediately upon his return to Salem. . Prior to the time the public service commission increased the fares on the traction lines of the Portland Rail way Light & Power company from six to eight cents, the proposition of elim inating certain alleged unjust as sessments now imposed on the corpor ation was referred to the voters of Portland. These were voted down by decisive majorities, indicating that the riders favored receiving revenue for the city rather than facing the pos sibility of more reasonable rates than now in effect.
