While Xew President of Board Has Children Belonsing, He In fuses to Permit Scheme. r CHICAGO, July 31. (Special.) Hopes of members of hlsh school fraternities and sororities which have been on a rising scale since the election of Alfred K. unon as president of the Board of Education, from whom . they expected more lenient treatment, were blasted by Mr. Urion to div. Ha declared himself unqualifiedly against the high school Greek letter so ciety. The reason for fhe expectations of the young high school pupils was that the son and daughter of President Urion were high school fraternity members. Mr. Urlon's eldest son. attending Dartmouth College, was a member of Kappa Sigma Psi fraternity at the University High School, while his daughter is an active member of the Iota Beta Phi Sorority at Mrs. Loring's private school for girls. The newly-elected superintendent, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, declared that she Is opposed to the high school fraternity, and the matter was called to the attention of President Union, and he warmly backed up the ideas of the superintendent. Mr. Urion said his children became members of their societies without his knowledge. DUSKY ELOPERS DETAINED Dashing Redskin Must Answer, Too, for Stealing; Horse. PENDLETON, Or., July 31. (Special.) Because Frank Johnson, a young and dashing Indian cavalier, overdid the thing in eloping with his mother's horses and buggy, as well as with his friend's wife, he is now occupying a cell in the city Jail, awaiting the arrival of a Deputy United States Marshal from Portland. Had he been satisfied to take only the other man's wife, he might have gone on his way rejoicing, for Walter Bom son, husband of the woman, refuses to have anything more to do with her, say ing she sets too fast a pace for him. The mother, however, objected to losing her rig and the couple were overhauled at Adams by the Indian police Just after they had sold the horses and buggy. The woman was turned loose after spending the night in Jail, but Johnson was held by United States Commissioner Halley to appear before the United States grand Jury. BATCH OF SUITS LIKELY If Sutton Inquiry Fails to Show Guilt, Officers May Sue. OBEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 31. If the naval court of In quiry at Annapolis falls to fix the re sponsibility for the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton on any of the officers with him the night he was shot, it is probable that damage suits will be in stituted against Mrs. Sutton by some or all the. officers who have been under suspicion of at least complicity in the alleged killing. It is learned from reliable eources that several of the lieutenants, who in view of the recent ruling of the court are now defendants, are preparing to bring suit against Sutton's mother and sister alleg ing defamation of character, growing out of statements in her letter to the Secre tary of the Navy- If the court fails to fix the responsibility for the killing, it Is said ail will have equal grounds for damages.

HARRY MURPHY AGAIN MARKS THE WEEK PORTERS MUSTLET TWOHYS USE ROAD Harriman Men Secure an Injunction. THWART RIVAL CONTRACTORS Blockade Raised for Ten Days by Court Order. WAGON TO GO IN TODAY Contractors for Harriman Will Take Advantage of Injunction to Rush Equipment to Contested Ground in Deschutes. BT R. G. CALLVERT. MORO, Or., July 31 (Staff Correspond ence.) By resorting to the court, the Deschutes Railroad Company, as the Har riman extension into Eastern Oregon is officially known, has recovered use, tem porarily at least, of the wagon road to the brink qf the river canyon, blockaded last Monday by Porter Bros. This has been accomplished by securing an injunction restraining Porter Bros., from interfering with the passage by Twohy Bros.' em ployes or freight teams over the highway across the three ranches on which Porter Bros, have obtained options, and on one of which they have locked the gate across the road. . Twobys to Rush in Supplies. Thus Twohy Bros., Harriman contrac tors, after- being blockaded a week, se cure a respite, which they will use to the fullest advantage, and it Is their intention to start wagon trains into the canyon tomorrow. The Injunc tion is based on the complaint in a suit filed In the Circuit Court of Sherman County by the Deschutes Railroad Com pany , against the Oregon Trunk Line, Parttv Bros, and the ranch owners w..o sold options on their lands to the Oregon Trunk Line contractors. Attorneys Work All Xight. William Henrlchs. County Judge, this afternoon signed the temporary restrain ing order. Immediately upon returning to Grass Valley from the locked gate at the Gurtx ranch last night, the attorneys for the Harriman corporation began the preparation of the lengthy complaint in the suit filed today. The electric light works in Grass Valley close down at 10:30 P. M., but the plant was subsidized to run all night, and stenographers worked until daylight. This afternoon Jay Bowerman and E. V. Littlefleld, at torneys representing the Harriman road, came to Moro by automobile, filed the complaint, secured the signature of Judge Henrichs to the restraining order, and, accompanied by Sheriff J. C. Freeman, left tonight for the locked gate to serve the summons and injunction. Damages Placed at $1000. The complaint in the proceedings places the amount of damages so far suffered by the Deschutes Railway Company by Porter Bros.' week's blockade at $1000. The complaint recites that the Des chutes Railroad Company is engaged in the business of building a railroad from the mouth of the Deschutes to Redmond; that the banks of the river in places are from 1600 to 2000 feet above the level of the river, and that because of the forma tion of the country, it is impossible to reach the line of the railroad from adja cent points except in a few places. It la further related that It is necessary for the company to construct a tunnel through a described neck of land in Sher man County, and that the nearest acces sible point for delivering supplies and material is Grass Valley, and that it is necessary to the construction camps there to have the supplies delivered over certain described lands belonging to Roy J. Baker, Fred Murtie and L. R. French and B. F. Downing, who are named as co-defendants. Oral Agreement Broken. It is alleged in the complaint that on July 10 the Deschutes Railroad Company entered Into an' oral agree ment with the landowners named, by (Concluded on Page 6.) RECORD OF DEAD RACE UNEARTHED AMERICAN' EXPLORER FIN'DS RELIC OF MAYA TRIBE Stone With Aitec Inscriptions Dls- ' covered by Burnham in Southern Mexico. PASADENA. Cal.. July 31. (Special.) Major Frederick R. Burnham was in Pasadena yesterday, having just re turned from a visit to the City of Mexico with John Hays Hammond, who is to join the Presidential party in September. Major Burnham, Mr. Hammond and the American Ambassador went 500 miles south of - the City of Mexico, where Major Burnham made another Interesting archaeological discovery, a stone bearing an inscription similar to the markings on the Esoeranza stone, which he discovered in 1908, and over which a number of museums are pondering. Major Burnham believes that the Inscriptions are the work of the Mayas, a wonderful tribe of Indians who flourished in Yucatan and had a written language centuries ago. The Inscriptions are numerous and show a great snake, the figure of a god and numerous other figures inter woven with a double scroll or volute, which in the old Aztec sign language, doubtless meant water or a whirlpool. He concludes that 1000 or more years ago, an expedition of Mayas reached the present site of Esperanza, Sonora. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS Hie Weather.

TWENTY REPUBLICANS APPOSE Mann Makes Savage Assault on Paper Schedule. PAYNE APPEALS TO PARTY Predicts Chaos if BUI Beaten. Clark Says Revision Is Really I'pward Mondell Starts to Filibuster. WASHINGTON, July 31. The House tonight adopted the conference report on the tariff bill, 195 to 1S3. The Republi cans shrieked in delight over the final outcome. Twenty Republicans voted against the report and two Democrats for It. The 20 Republicans were: Representa tives Carey, Wis.; Iavls. Minn.; Gronna, 3H. D. ; Haughen, la.; Hubbard, la.; Kie fer, O.; Kendall, la.: Lenroot, Wis.; Lindberg, Minn.; Mann, 111.; Miller, Minn.; Murdock, Kan,; Nelson, Wis.; Nye, Minn.; Pofndexter, Wash.; South wick, N'. Y. ; Steenerson. Minn.; Stevens, Minn.; Volstead, Minn., and Woods, la. The two Democrats were Broussard and Estopinal, La. Day Opens With Filibuster. The day opened with what appeared to be part of an organized filibuster against the conference report, when Mon dell of Wyoming demanded the reading of the lengthy document. This proceeded for about an hour and a half, when, with about two-thirds remaining to be read, Mondell permitted the debate to go on. Mann of Illinois, Republican, in a sen sational speech, said he" would vote against the report unless the rates on pulp and print paper as reduced by the House were retained. He declared that Canada would take such action regarding pulp wood and print paper as to place an almost prohibitory price upon paper In this country. Under the maximum and minimum clause, he said, the tariff of $1.67 a ton on wood pulp would be In creased to $6.67 a ton. "That maximum," he exclaimed, "is as sure to go Into effect between Canada and this country as that God made little ap ples, unless Canada removes her restric tions on the exportation of the pulp." Payne Appeals to Party. Payne appealed to his Republican col leagues to stand by the bill, saying that if they wanted to drive their party into chaos they could vote against it. But he said 'it would be a delusion to vote against the bill upon the idea that the Dingley rates would be continued. "We have revised the tariff and have taken off unnecessary duties," said Payne. "Not all along the line generally, but in our revision of the tariff we have revised the tariff downward and . yet we have held the scales so evenly that we have done no injury to any person or any Industry in the United States. "These rates Increase the revenue from customs less than $4,000,000. The corpo ration tax Is estimated to produce $26, 000.000 and tobacco. $9,333,333. "The Dingley law, during all its period of existence has provided ample revenue, and there is no doubt this law will do the same for another 12 years." Payne estimated that the Increase of revenue that would result from the enact ment of the biir would be $40,000,000 an nually. Revision Upward, Says Clark. Champ Clark, the Democratic leader, said President Taft had been imposed on by being made to believe that the conference report was really a revision downward. Clark submitted a table showing that the average rate of the report is 1.73 per cent higher than the average rate of the Dingley law. If scores of new Items in the report, but not in the Dingley law, were added, Clark said, the average Increase would be at least 2 per cent. "That the President has been de- (Concluded on Page 2.) HUMOROUS PICTURES MARGIN HUGE STREETCAR STRIKE THREATENS CHICAGO LOCAL AXD IXTERCR BAX TRAFFIC MAY STOP. Molormen and Conductors Seek S Cents Increase Per Hour, but Companies AH Decline. CHICAGO. July 31. (Special.) Pos sibilities of a street railway strike whicii will be bigger than anything of the kind Chicago has witnessed in years today increased. Refusal of the Chi cago City Railway Company to make concessions to its motormen and con ductors was met by union leaders with a prompt issuance of a call for special meetings Monday night, in which 10, 000 street railway employes, operating all lines from Evanston to the Indiana state line, will take up the question of wages. It was predicted that the Chi cago Ratlway Company would take the same stand as the South Side Company. The motormen and conductors, under the constitution of their organization, may determine to call another meeting to consider a strike vote. Every streetcar line from Evanston to the Indiana line and from the lake to Oak Park would be affected in. the event of a strike, and union leaders in timate that if the men decide to walk out, not a wheel will turn on any of these lines The demands to which the railway refused to accede consisted principally of a request for a raise from 27 cents an hour to 30 cents an hour. The com pany replied that the men were now getting higher wages than are paid in any other city east of the Rocky Moun tains, and that they should be satis fied. LONE MAN HOLDS UP BANK Daring Robbery in Heart of Van couver Xets Less Than $100. VANCOUVER, B. C, July 31. A des perado, masked in .-. red handkerchief, entered the Bridge-Street branch of the Royal Bank of Canada at 9 o'clock to night, aiI at the point of a gun, forced Paying Teller Logan to hand him a handfull of bills amounting to less than $100. If the man had kept nis nerve he probably would have secured several thousand dollars. The employes in the bank were too astounded to offer any resistance when the hold-up man entered. He walked to the window where Logan was stand ing, and leveling a revolver at the cast. ier's head, demanded the money. Logan passed out a ha.idfull of bills of small denominations. The robber waited pa tiently for a while, then suddenly seemed to lose his nerve, and grabbing the money, ilea, ne is sun i "s- NOTED NEBRASKAN COMING .

SPOKANE. Wash., July 31. (Special.) During the sessions of the National Irri gation Congress in Spokane you may 6moke pills" without fear of being ar rested and placed in a cage with other criminals. Because of the fact that the big congress will bring hundreds of visi tors to the city, who will have no knowl edge of the anti-cigarette law, the police department will not be strict about ar resting people for smoking the obnoxious article. This request was made to the depart ment officials by the officials of the con gress, who argued that It would be a dis grace to the city to Invite so many promi nent people here and then arrest many of them because of their ignorance of the law. ON CURRENT EVENTS REPEATED SHOCKS TO Five Temblors Felt in Mexico During Day. PEOPLE RUSH OUT IN PANIC Many Towns in South Report Complete Destruction. TELEGRAPH WIRES DOWN Communication With Points Over SO Miles Fron Capital Cannot Bo Had and Great Losi oC Life Is beared. CITY OF MEXICO. July 31. (Spe cial.) With the people absolutely frightened and trembling In terror from their awful experiences in yesterday's earthquake shocks, five distinct shock were felt again today, and the damage yesterday Is light compared with tha damage today. All communication was cut off from Chilpancingo. Acapulco and surrounding towns by the quakes today, after It was restored following yesterday's shocks, but Information of the serious nature of the shock came through before the wires went down. In every instance the frightened operators at the keys in the stricken towns, talking to the equally frightened operators in the capital, de clared "the town is completely wrecked," or words to that effect. Big Palace Fails. The operator at Chilpancliigo, capital of the State of Guerrero, reported that the palace of Governor Damien Flores, which was partially wrecked yesterday, completely tumbled down today, but that the family had left its crumbling walls. The shocks here today were more se vere than yesterday, and. not an Ameri can and but few foreigners remained indoors tonight. The parks &nd plazas are crowded to overflowing, and many people are in actual want of food, cooks and domestics having fled to the streets when the first shock came this morning, and having remained there all day on their knees praying. Shock Derails Cars. At 12 o'clock today the shock was so severe that all clocks in the city were stopped and the streetcars were derailed In several localities through out the city. The great Cathedral is a mass of" ruins as a resu't of the shocks, as it practically fell yesterday, and the tremblers today finished the work of destruction. In the four-story office building of the Mexican National Rail ways, on Plaza de Guardale, all the of ficials and clerks the majority Ameri cans, ran out when the building began rocking- the first time today. Soon af ter the cornice fell and the walls crumbled In places. Reports Are Meager. Train service to the international border is demoralized. The towns where operators reported that "everything has been destroyed" before the wires went completely down are Chilpancingo, Acapulco, Chilapa and Aguala, all in a direct line south of this city. Providincla Is right be tween Chilpancingo and Acapulco, and Rio Balsas, Telolopan, Cocula, and many other smaller towns are between Chilpancingo and Aguala. It Is cer tain that the damage has been great in these towns. Federal telegraph operators report tonight that they cannot get a wiro farther than 30 miles to the south In the stricken section. Thirteen earthquakes within 30 hours have been registered by the govern ment seismograph at the Aeubaya.. Fire Follows Quake. Fire followed the earthquake in tha town of Hldalgoitlan. Water mains were broken by the quake, and the fire, breaking out In the poorer quarter of the town, spread rapidly. Only a change of wind saved the entire town.
