RACE IS EXCITING ONE
Defender Steadily Forges
Ahead, Leaving Rival Far
Behind Last Half.
SANDY HOOK, N. J., July 27.
The America's cup stays in America.
This was decided shortly before sun
down today when the American de
fender Resolute captured the 1920
regatta three to two by defeating
Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock IV
in the final race.
The defender outsailed the chal
lenger decisively, boat for boat, in
the last contest of a tempestuous
series the closest and most hard
fought in the history of the trophy
crossing the line at 7:52:23 (un
official time) only about 25 minutes
before expiration of the six-hour
time limit.
Indeed, the last half of the race
was a race of the defender against
time, with the fate of the contest
resting on the wind, for the chal
lenger was about one mile astern
when the American boat flashed
over the line.
Race Began in Light Airs. t
It was a 30-mile windward and
leeward race, started in light airs
after postponement at 15-minute in
tervals for two hours and a quarter.
After having been led by the chal
lenger two-thirds of the distance to
the first mark, a windward leg, Res-
lute crossed her bows ten miles
from the start and breezed into a
lead, which she maintained and
steadily increased.
By the time 22 miles had been
covered the defender was a mile and
a half in the lead, reaching back
and forth on her way to the finish
line. At one time toward the end
ehe was two miles ahead of the
Shamrock, but the challenger came
op to within a mile at the finish.
While waiting for Shamrock to
finish, the steam yacht Victoria ran
down to Resolute and all hands, led
by Sir Thomas Upton, gave the vic
tor three cheers.
Defender Gets Noisy Welcome.
The spectators' fleet gave the de
fender such a noisy welcome as she
crissed the line that it could be
heard ten miles away on shore.
The Resolute gave the Shamrock
the worst drubbing of the regatta
when it won, boat for boat, by 19
minutes 45 seconds.
Overcoming a 40-second lead and
the advantage of a windward berth
which Shamrock had taken at the
start, the defender held a lead of
four minutes and eight seconds at
the half-way stake and finished 13
minutes and five seconds ahead. In
eluding her handicap of six minutes
and 40 seconds, Resolute won by 19
minutes and 45 seconds.
Shamrock Victor in Two.
In capturing the series, Resolute
came from behind after 5hamrock
had taken two races, and won out
by three straight victories.
Sir Thomas Lipton, owner of the
challenger, voiced what appeared to
be the unanimous verdict of yachts
men when he declared that "the best
boat won."
The weather prepared a rare set
ting for the historic finish. The
sun, a great fiery ball, was fast
dropping through a red and purple
haze when Resolute, clipping swiftly
through the green water with bil
lowy white sails silhouetted against
the haze, bore down on the mark. .
A moment later she flashed across
the golden finish line that the set
ting sun had laid down on the water
between Ambrose channel lightship
and the committee boat, Barryton.
A mile or more behind, her own
great sails bellying, Shamrock IV
was coming about for the run to

Labor Policy of Big Corporation Is
Arraigned Another Strike
Is Declared Like!-. .
WASHINGTON, July 27.--Appoint-ment
of a special commission to bring
about immediate free and open con
ference between employes and em
ployers in the steel industry was sug
gested to President Wilson today by
the commission of the interchurch
world movement which Investigated
the steel strike of last summer.
"Unless vital changes are brought
to pass, a renewal of the conflict
eeems inevitable," said the commis
sion's letter.
The suggestion is made' that the
proposed special commission go for
ward on the precedent-of the presi
dential commission for the bitumi
nous coal industry and the anthracite
commission.
Accompanying the commission's
letter was a copy of its report. Dr.
D. A. Poling, secretary of the inves
tigation commission, declares that the
report "constitutes an indictment of
the labor policy of the United States
Steel corporation."
"There can be no doubt," Dr. Pol
ing said, "that the report will be re
garded by the public as strongly fa
voring the laboring man's side." He
said the commission's work was "em
barrassed" by the rifling of its files,
by "under cover" methods of every
sort."
A summary of the findings of the
commission showed the fundamental
grievances to be:
Excessive hours, the boss system.
no right to organize or to represen
tation. Remedies desired were: Shorter day
and week with a living wage, repre
sentation and conference, an end to
the "boss system," right to unionize
and substitution of industrial democ
racy for Industrial autocracy.
All the conditions that caused the
teel strike continue- to exist." was
the conclusion of the commission.
We feel that unless changed, an
other strike must come."
"We found," the report said, "that
the strike was regularly conducted
according to the American Federation
of Labor rules."

NORTHAMPTON. Mass, July 27.
Governor Coolldge, In an address ac
cepting the republican nomination for
vice-presidency at notification cere
monies today, urged the country to
summon its forces to solve the prob
lems of reconstruction. He devoted
much of his address to a discussion of
domestic issues, but called first for a
"return to a thoroughly peace basis
because
that is the fundamental
American basis." And before domes
tic problems can be solved, he added.
there must be a return from the
voluntary autocracy" to a govern
ment as exercised under the doctrine
of the separation of powers.
The governor commended the re
publican senators for their opposition
to the league of nations covenant
without reservations as submitted by
the president, terming the "league in
that form subversive of the tradi
tions and the independence of Amer
ica." But the republican party, he
added, "approves the principles of
agreement among nations to preserve
peace, and pledges itself to the mak
ing of such an agreement preserving
American independence and rights as
well as will meet every duty America
owes humanity."

LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 27. (Spe
cial.) Los Angeles and immediate
vicinity experienced three more earth
tremors this afternoon.

1:35 o'clock and was followed by two
which were very light and which
came a few seconds apart at 2:10
o'clock. . No damage was reported.
Another one at 12:22 A. M. awakened
thousands of people.
There is no denying the fact that
persistent quakes since the middle of

a panic. Many flighty tourists have
left the city.
Awakened at 4:10 A. M. yesterday.
this particular tremor shook down a
number of chimneys and lasted for
several seconds. It was of longer
duration than any experienced hereto
fore. Quakes the past two nights have
been severe enough to drive people
out of their homes, hotels and apart
ment houses. Many individuals are
bordering on hysteria-
Several of the leading hotels report
that many tourists have left the city.
A prominent banker estimated today
that 26.000 bank accounts have been
closed since June 21 due to the earth
quakes. Of this number, he declared
10,000 were perhaps visitors wjio
would have departed even though
conditions were normal.
The Los An.reles Chamber of Com
merce is printing many reports In

on earthquakes and which say that
the earth formation under Los An
geles is quake proof.
The quakes including those of today
have been the most severe that this

Paris police to Captain J. A. Warden,
Who is EUPervisinsr innrrhensinn of

As all deserters have the rerjuta-
tlon with the French police of carry

ally, the police simply notify the
American authorities of their pres
ence In some particular place, but do
not attempt to arrest them.
In some weeks arrests have aver
aged as high as ten. The men not
only carried guns but were armed
with remarkable sets of personal pa

PLEA MADE FOR ACTION
"Poland Engulfed" May "Curse
Men Who Created It and Re
fused Aid In Death Agony."
WASHINGTON. July 27. (By the
Associated Press.) Victory for soviet
Russia over Poland would result in
bolshevism sweeping all Europe and
eventually the world, in the opinion
of General Eric Ludendorff, a Ger
man war leader. His views are set
forth in a memorandum on the "dan
gers of bolshevism," written last
month and received today in official
circles.
"Poland's fall would entail the fall
of Germany and Czecho-Slovakla," he
says. "Their neighbors to the north
and south would follow. Fate steps
along without elementary force. Let
no one believe it will come to a stand
without enveloping Italy, France and
England. Not even the seven seas can
stop it."
Addressing himself to the "civilized
nations as a man who knows war,"
the general pleads that his message
do not fall on deaf ears.
"Then it will be too late." he de
clared, "and civilization will crumble.
And the cause will be the obtusene.-s
of government and the lethargy of
the bourgeois, as the latter likes to
stay quietly at home on. days of de
cisive events.
Bolshevism Is Advancing.
"Bolshevism is a monster that must
advance to exist. It is advancing now.
gradually, and crushing everything
between the midland sea and the At
iantic
"It was easy to foresee that the bol
shevist armies would attack toward
the middle of May and defeat the
Poles. .
"The world at large must, therefore
figure with a bolshevist advance in
Poland toward Berlin and Prague.
Lithuania is already joining soviet
Russia and is demanding a slice of
the Prussian province of East Prus
sia. The moment will come when
bolshevist armies will menace Ger
many and Czecho-Slovakia.
"Lenine has advanced his lines to
the frontiers of China, Afghanistan.
Persia and India and is now prepar
ing to continue his progress.
"The bolshevist enterprises encoun
ter resistance east of Lake Baikal on
the part of Japan and General Sem-
inoff. The tenacity and the superior
shrewdness of the Japanese make it
probable that the bolshevists will
meet reverses in that quarter. How
ever, the bolshevists have the Inner
line in the direction of India and
Persia, no less than in Europe. Japan's
turn will be later.
Great Conflict Co Hi Inc.
"The bolshevists have England's
world power to face in both directions,
but in addition we must remember
.,,,. o . v. . i . , v. ... i ,
they must face what the world calls
civilization besides. A conflict te -
tween the bolshevists and England is
not the only problem. The world
could not afford to be an onlookir.
The real problem is a conflict I e
tween civilization and barbarism.
"The prodigious resource of bol
shevist propaganda tackled both its
far-flung fronts long ago with per-!
feet logic. We must get used to re
gard propaganda as a combative re
source of the first rank. The bol
shevists made more masterful uso of
It than Great Britain. France and the
United States did to compass the ruin
of Germany.
"Their propaganda Is tiring the
masses of India to the depths of their
hearts. It is successfully bridging tie
gulf that subsists between the Mos
lems of India and the disciples of
the native religions.
"In Asia-Minor and Persia and all
the way into Arabia and Persia the
bolshevist propaganda conducts its
moves in the anti-Christian. pan
Islamic spirit.
Nations Are Undermined.
"Poland and Roumania are under
mined. The bolshevist propaganda
operates wiin more caution in rin-j
land, Sweden ana isorway. xnese
countries are expected to orop into
the lap of bolshevism without no
ticeable effort. The great objectives
of the bolshevists are "In Germany,
and perhaps Czecho-Slovakia and
Austria.
"Bolshevik propaganda in Germany
assumes a great variety of shapes.
With socialists its preachments ad
vocate war on capital and establish
ment of a proletarian dictatorship;
with German nationalists its mission
aries demand deliverance of the
country from the entente yoke; man
ufacturers and merchants are prom
ised commercial connections, although
everyone knows the bolshevik! can
give nothing, but can only take. Yet
we are compelled to acknowledge that
the bolshevist propaganda is a per
fect success.
"The proof of its success is that the

Lessee of Farm Missed July 4
After Number or Queer Inci
dents Are Reported.
PENDLETON. Or.. July 27. (Spe
cial.) Mystery surrounds the finding
of arm bones, lower jaw and a part of
a human skull, partially burnt, on the
Ellis ranch near Ukiah. Word of the
discovery was brought t; Pendleton
by Constable Chamberlain, and Dis
trict Attorney Keator will go to
Ukiah in the morning to investigate.
Ukiah citizens point back to July 4,
when a series of small brush fires
were seen on the Ellis place and to
the fact that Joe Williams, who had
leased the Porter place for farming,
has been missing since that day.
Varying stories concerning Will
iams are in circulation but little is
known about him. It is reported that
ho arrived in that country about a
year ago. hiring out to work for Mrfl
Endicott. Soon afterward he is said
to have been joined by a woman whom
he claimed as his wife. Shortly aft
erward a trunk arrived at the ranch,
ostensibly for 'he woman, but ad
dressed to Bell Sterm.
Neighbors scout the story of the
marriage. It Is said that Walker
Eliis of Ukiah knew the woman and
It is reported that on one occasion in
the presence of witnesses she told
Williams that "If you do not do
right by me, we'll kill you."
Forest rangers hurried down to
Ellis' ranch July 4 to investigate a
series of small brush fires. They say
they encountered Ellis with a gun
strapped on each hip.
Shortly after the fire it was
reported that the woman In the case
took three horses from the Williams
ranch and, riding one, led the other
two down to the Halfway house
where she left them, saying that her
husband would call and get them. The
name which she gave was not Will
iams. According to the story, she
then rode into Pilot Rock, where she
left the third horse. telling the
stable man' that her husband would
call for it. There she gave the name
of Williams. She then had her hair
bobbed in a barber shop in Pilot
Rock and disappeared. Foul play is
suspected.
The mystery was reported to Sheriff
Til Taylor the morning he was killed,
according to Constable Chamberlain.
but succeeding events prevented the
investigation which had been planned.
Coroner Brown is to leave for
Ukiah with District Attorney Keator
in the morning to work on the case

FOOD FORAGE IS MfDE
Hart and Owens Reported to
Have Driven Family
From Home.
BOTH ARE HEAYILY ARMED
Automobiles Carry Reserves
to District to Help in Run
ning Down Pair.
PENDLETON, Or., July 27
Hart and Owens, the two ring-leaders
in the jail-break by six prison
ers Sunday which resulted in the
murder of Sheriff Til Taylor, to
night raided the home of a butcher
named Young at Cayuse, 10 miles
east of Pendleton, according to a
report telephoned to posse head
quarters at 8 o'clock.
The two fugitives, heavily armed,
rushed from the underbrush into the
hcuse. At the point of their guns,
they drove the butcher and his
family from the dwelling and then
proceeded to ransack the place for
food, according to the message.
After helping themselves to all the
food in the house, the two fugitives
dashed again into the underbrush, a
short distance away.
Posses Sent in Autos.
As soon as the message had bten
received here, three automobile loads
of possemen were sent in pursuit.
Picked men experienced in hunting
down fugitives were the only ones
allowed to go.
Hopes of the man-hunters were re
vived when the message was re
ceived because all other clews on
which more than 200 men had been
working since Sunday afternoon had
proved groundless.
Officers at headquarters were con
fident that the two men would be
apprehended before another 24 hours
had elapsed.
Planes May Aid Search.
Plans were under way late tonight
to dispatch Jake Marin, chief field
deputy under the late Til Taylor, in
an aeroplane over the section where
the two fugitives were believed to
have been. If this plan is followed
the plane will fly low over the sec
tion, and Marin with a pair of strong
field glasses will attempt to locate
the daylight hiding ' place of the
escaped prisoners.
It will not be until dawn breaks
tomorrow that definite decision will
be reached as to whether or not the
aeroplane shall be used.
Blind Leads Run Down.
After running down blind leads
and false clews for more than 48
hours, the possemen were still de
termined that the five fugitive pris
oners must be apprehended.
Although the chase for the fleeing
men has been in progress since early
Sunday afternoon, it was admitted
at posse headquarters that up to to
night there had been no really tan
gible and authentic clew.
The feeling still persisted that the
men were in hiding in the wild and
desolate country directly east of
Pendleton, but there was nothing
definite on such surmises.
Pendleton was thrown into fever
ish excitement about 7 o'clock this
morning when telephonic word was
received that one of the posses op
