RUSH TO ENGLAND BIG Channel Boats Built for Hundreds Made to Carry Thousands Jack Johnson Urged by Parisians to Fight for France. NEW YORK. Aug. 13. The Amer ican liner Philadelphia, with the nrst great crowd of Americans who rushed from Europe when the various nations declared war. arrived in New York last night. There were 703 passengers In tlM cabin and 303 in the steerage. Virtually all of them were without baggage, many of them witiiout money and all had stories of hardships to tell. laiHenprrr Facrv Studied. The Philadelphia sailed from South ampton a few hours after England de clared war on Uermany. The lirst day out seven French torpedo-boats and three submarines were sighted. One of the torpedo-boats hurried after the American liner, the rest of the fleet following slowly. Finally the torpedo boat the B-T cauie alongside and or dered the Philadelphia to stop. The war vessel circled the liner sev eral times. Its officers looking closely at the faces of the passengers crowd ed on tiie decks. When the French naval officers were sure the Philadel phia really was an American vessel and that the passengers were Amer icans, one of them shouted in Eugllsh that the Philadelphia might proceed. French Ship Cheered. The passengers cheered the French ahtps. The cheer was returned and the tinv war crafts steamed away. The refugees in the steerage iiad the freedom of the ship. The men were separated from the women, however, and in some cases husbands were sep arated from their wives by this regu lation. Kather than sleep in the steer age scores of these passengers slept In the smoking-room, on the boat deck, under the boats and life rafts, and in steamer chairs. Four persons were in very cabin. River Vetera .oly Welcome. As the Philadelphia neared her pier In the North Kiver the crowd waiting on shore shouted a welcome to the refugees. Then for a quarter of an hour the whole river resounded with en - - The regulation preventing a ship which arrives at quarantine after sun down from proceeding to her dock un til the next morning was waived to night. An hour and a half after she arrived In the lower bay the last of her passengers had gone ashore. Travelers from Paris told of mobs swarming through the streets, break ing windows and looting German shops. Others told of Germans caught in the French capital and beaten b$ gen darmes and excited citizens. Abandoned Baggage Piled High. The streets near the railroad stations were piled high with abandoned bag gage. So great was the rush of Amer icans from France to England that small steamers in the English Channel, constructed to accommodate from 600 to 900 persons, carried 3000 men, women and children on every' trip. A loaf of bread selling for S cents was bringing 22 cents when some of the passengers left Paris. Other food stuffs were soaring proportionately. "I met Jack Johnson on the boule vard." said Howard Willett. of Chi cago. 'His face was wreathed in smiles. Crowds surrounded him asking nim tu fight for France." A committee formed on board the Philadelphia today with the expressed purpose of assisting Americans abroad issued a statement saying: No words can exaggerate the des perate condition of stranded Ameri cans all over Europe outside of Eng land." Many of the passengers said they had been stopped in Germany and forced to prove that they were Ameri cans and not Englishmen. Others had been stopped in France and asked whether they were Germans. With a few exceptions all were treated cour teously when they proved their nation ality. Soldiers were stationed all along the roads and squads of them were guard ing every tunnel and bridge. Military s-uaxds with loaded rifles were on every railway coach and eugiue and in all the stations. Among the passengers were Charles Aldrich and family, of Cleveland, whom some one In London offered (1000 for their stateroom or $500 If allowed to travel with them. Joan A. Wilson, of Franklin, Pa.. President Wilson's cousin, smilingly nnounced on the pier that he believed be had less money and more Summer clothes than any other man in New Tork. He carried with him a set of jolf sticks presented to President Wil son by the City Lunch Club of London and which he was commanded to bring over. After registering at the Hotel Menlo as Mrs. John Dunlap. of Salem. Or.. Mrs. Stanley H. Rich, wife of an attor ney of Portland, sought death time and again yesterday in the maze of Oak land's street traffic and then, despair ing of killing herself by that means, retired to her room in the hotel and drank a quantity of iodine, from which she may die. For more than three hours Mrs. Rich played with death before streetcars and automobiles, walking directly in their path. Each time, however, the motorman or the chauffeur proved too quick for her and drew his car to a sudden stop. In the meantime Mr. Rich, after hav ing vainly searched every Oakland and San Francisco hotel; looking for his missing wife, found the woman in a dying condition at the emergency hos pital this afternoon. He told the hospital attaches that financial reverses had preyed on his wife's mind. NO TRADE TO BE LOST SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO CONTINUE BUYING HERE ASSERTED.

Mammoth Mill and 12 Cars Loaded With Lumber Are Destroyed by Flames. WOMAN TEMPTS DEATH li-. Stanley H. Rich, of Portland. Tries Suicide Many Times. OAKLAND, Cal., Aug. 12. iSpeclal.) MYSTERY CLOAKS ORIGIN Ten MlHion Feet of Lumber Saved by Crew, Aided by McMlnnville and Vanihill Firemen Hushed in on Special Train. CARLTON. Or., Aug. 13. (Special.) Fire, breaking out mysteriously at 11 o'clock last night by the main saw while the night crew was at work, de stroyed the plant of the Carlton Lum ber Company, owned by Charles E. Ladd, of Portland and leased to the company of which Philip Buehner is president, entailing damage of $500,000. Twelve loaded cars of lumber, val ued at $40000, were burned on the tracks. Ten million feet in stock were saved, while the planing mill, only a short distance from the burning plant, was not damaged. Fire departments from McMlnnville and Yamhill were rushed to the fire by a special freight train of the Southern Pacific. With the Carlton department, the fighters concentrated their efforts on the mill along the waterfront of the Yamhill River. For a time the flames raged under the piling on which the lumber was stacked and the departments thought that the supports would have to be dynamited in order to save the property. The lack of wind to fan the flames, however, gave the crews time to con centrate on the undamaged buildings and to protect the plant from a further spread of the fire. The lumber lying in the path of the flames that was saved by the concen trated efforts of all of the departments is valued at $100,000. The plant car ries $250,000 Insurance on the mill and stock. Mr. Buehner rushed to the scene of the fire in an automobile from Port land. OLD MINE YIELDS RICHES OWNERS OK SL'GARMAN WORKS HARVEST MUCH GOLD. Swiss Have Navy or Their Own. NEW YORK. Aug. .

New Lead Revealed In Vein Leading From Pocket 900 Feet Be neath Surface. SONORA, Cal., July 25. The old Sug arman mine, at the head of Portu guese Gulch, on Bald Mountain, is har vesting a big crop of gold for its owners. Charles Smith and Robert Wat son. These expert pocket miners, some 900 feet underground, in the face of a tunnel, struck a lead about a month ago which convinced them that they were in close proximity to a pocket. For two weeks they followed the lead, the small stream of gold grad ually growing larger, until a few days ago a blast sent a shower of gold shotted rock all over the drift. Pre sumably the heart of the pocket had been reached and the ounces of the precious metal gathered up soon grew into pounds, and from hundreds to thousands of dollars in value, and still the ribbons of gold interlace the ore in place and the end is not yet. The Sugarman mine is among the more important of the Bald Mountain section. It was located early in the '50s and worked to shallow depth by Peruvians with great success. Like many of the claims of that day, which subsequently became famous producers, the Sugarman was abandoned and re mained unclaimed and unworked for several years. In 1S63 it was relocated, and for more than 10 years held in ownership by the late John Neale and for many years operated by him. For a period during the latter years of his life, Neale leased the property to Smith and Watson, receiving a royalty of 20 per cent of the gross production. A few years since Smith and Watson pur chased the mine. GIRL SIRE'S LAW PARTNER Los Angeles Attorney and Daughter to Open Offices.

PRICE COMPLAINT MADE Kansas Farmers Want to Know Who Profits in Wheat. CHICAGO, Aug. 8. Kansas wheat producers are moving for a Govern mental investigatibn as to the price they receive for wieat, which they say Is too low in comparison with the prices ruling in the ultimate markets. They get, say 63 cents a bushel, delivered at the elevators in the country, and the same quality sells for 82 cents on the Kansas City Board of Trade. They want to know what becomes of the 9 cents. They think they ought to get at least 5 cents more and they figure up the thousands of dollars per day that the farmers of the state are losing. It Is the old story of the middleman. One of the large operators states that he does not buy from the farmers di rect, but from brokers throughout the wheat territory, who buy from dealers or elevator men. He wires these bro kers how much wheat he wants each day, and then it is a question of price. As to buying direct from the farmers, he says only the small operators do that and if he did it he would not get more than one car from the farmer at a time, while he gets 100 from the dealer. One of the Congressmen is taking the matter up with the Federal Govern ment. AUSTRIAN CONSUL GOES WAR WITH ENGLAND ALMOST CERTAINTY. Ambassador Receives Passports Send ing of Troops to French Border Is Causes Fight May Ensae. LONDON, Aug. 13. (Special.) Great Britain has severed diplomatic rela tions with Austria, as did her ally, France, without a declaration of war. It has been expected that a declaration of war would be proclaimed, but there was none. Count A. Menzdorff-Pouilly-Dietrich-stein received his passports today and will leave London tomorrow. He is an intimate personal friend of the British royal family and feels his dismissal keenly. He has been in London for 18 years first as first secretary to the embassy and then as Ambassador. One of the first results of the prac tical state of war which the severance of diplomatic negotiations brings is likely to be seen in the Mediterranean. An Austrian fleet has been bombarding the Montenegrin coast and a larger fleet has been reported near the Straits of Otranto. It may be presumed that the British Mediterranean fleet, co operating with the French fleet, will put a stop to the attack on Montenegro from the sea and that a bombardment of Austrian ports may follow. The break in the diplomatic negotia tions between the two countries came as a result of Austria's sending troops to the French border to assist her ally. Germany, against Great Britain's ally. France. "Great Britain has declared war on Austria." This was the text of a cable received late last night from the for eign office by Thomas Erskine.
