PLACE PROMPTLY FILLED Students In Electrical Department of Oregon Ajrrlcurmral Collejre Drop Promising Careers to Follow ' I, tire of Sea lite. SEATTLE. Wash-, May 8. An at tempt of striking wireless operators to delay the departure of the freight Btnaraer Latouche for Southwestern Alaska failed today. Just as the Ia touche was preparing to cast off one of the wireless operators walked down the aratifrplank and quit the ship. The loss of the, ojwirator did not de lay the Latouche. thouch, for the next minute a non-union operator stepped out of a taxlcab and went aboard and the steamer was on her way within five minutes. The Astoria Shore station of the Marconi Wireless Telegrraph Company, which was closed to commercial busi ness several days ago because of the strike, was fully manned and reopened today. The mystery of where the Marconi Wireless Telerraph Company had promptly secured qualified wireless operators to replace strikers on steam ships operating on the Pacific Ocean was partially solved tonight when it was learned that a group of students In the electrical engineering depart ment of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege at Corvallls. Or., had left college to become wireless operators. These students studied wireless telefrrapry In college and were capable of passing all the tests necessary to obtain Government licenses.

Passage of Proposed Bond Issue Ex pected to Be Followed y Fare Complications. TACOMA. Wash, May 8. (Special) The matter of a municipally-owned streetcar line is one of the questions to be decided by Tacoma voters Satur day. Of an estimated total of 30,000 voters In the city, only 13.986 are regis tered ami will decide the proposed bond Issue ef 387.000 for building and equipping a carllne across the new Lincoln bridge to the tldelands. Pro posed bond issues for sewers, a munici pal farm and street Improvements, ag gregating $222,000. also will be decided. Of this amount 3102.000 Is to build sew ers. chiefly in the South Tacoma dis trict; 315.000 for the farm and fis.000 for the Purallup Hill road. The proposed municipal carllne has developed a lot of strife among mem bers of the City Commission, among Improvement clubs and among the 6000 factory and mill workers who walk across the Lincoln bridge daily to and from their work. The City Commissioners say that the proposed carllne will be a losing venture for some years. It was thought It might be possible for the city to build the line and lease It to the Ta coma Railway & Power Company, 116.- 000 annual rental being asked. The corporation was not looking for losing ventures, however, and turned down all the propositions made by the Commissioners. If the street -railway bonds are au thorized tomorrow by the voters an other problem will arise, as the street railway company has declared It will not accept transfers from the munlcl-pally-owned line and the mill workers are expecting to reach the city on 6- cent fares. There seems to bave been an increas ing sentiment In the city against more bond Issues and increasing the city a debt. Whether this sentiment Is among registered- or non-registered voters re mains to be seen. It is expected that the Socialists will vote for the street car bonds.

That Lieutenant Governor O'Hara, who recently became prominent because of his connection with the Illinois Senate vice Inquiry, feared a "frame-up" and was on his guard against it. was the burden of the statement made today by a man who was with O'Hara the night he is ac cused of having misconducted himself. It became known that O'Hara con tends that his defense will be that he has a "perfect alibi." The affidavit' offered by Deputy Sheriff Sullivan, accusing O'Hara, was produced today on O Hara a demand. It proved to be signed by Maud Robin son, a Springfield woman. It declared that one night last January O'Hara and a prominent young woman of Springfield registered at the Hotel Sherman as "T. Duncan and wife." A Springfield millionaire and another woman, said to have registered as "J. J. Miller and wife," are alleged to have shared the "Duncan" suite. O'Hara on Guard. Says Bailiff. Harry Gibbons, a court bailiff in Chicago, said today he was with O'Hara here on the night of January 17, when "Duncan" and "Miller" regis tered at the Hotel Sherman. "I and O'Hara had been together dur ing the afternoon." said Gibbons, "and In the evening we went to the cafe of the Hotel Sherman. There we met Tom Vredenberg. of Springfield, and two of nls girl friends. O Hara was afraid some one might try to make the party the nucleus of some 'frame-up' and was particular In asking me to stick along. He didn't want to be of the party, anyway, and was anxious to get away. He went to the Lambs Club after that and O'Hara said: "Harry, stick with me and make It easy for me to break away from this. "We left about midnight. Vreden berg and the girls crossed the street toward the hotel and O'Hara, who said he was going to the Press Club, start ed in that direction. I then went home." Writing Sot Slmllnr. Gibbons said that O'Hara met Vre denberg through renting a house from him at Springfield. They did not seem to be particularly friendly, he added. At Springfield today. O'Hara told friends of the dinner party in Chicago. He added that he had an unquestioned alibi. Vredenberg said he might have something to say later. Comparison of the handwritings of "Duncan" and "Miller" by an expert this afternoon showed no similarity to that of O'Hara. PRODUCED RESULTS 1ST SATISFACTORY Mrs. W. A.
