BELFAST, Nov. 7. Wild scenes
were witnessed in Londonerry Satur
day as a sequel to a sensational at
tack on policemen there.
s Five policemen were, shot, two so
seriously they are not expected to re
cover. Two shops were burned and
several others wrecked. All the prop
erty belonged to Sinn Felners.
The attack on the policemen was di
rected against the officers who were
guarding the customs house and a
brisk exchange of shots followed.
The fray occurred at 9 P. M. in a
busy neighborhood and so terrified
the crowds that they fled .homeward
in a panic. Afterward the police and
military raided a large section of city,
searching everyone they found out
doors and invading and searching nu
merous houses.
Hostile Crowd Assembles.
Later a hostile crowd assembled in
Waterloo square, a Sinn Fein thor
oughfare. They were dispersed by the
military. Even after the curfew hour,
there was almost unceasing revolver
and rifle fire for two hours or more,
with occasional sounds like the ex
plosions of bombs.
A number of armed men passed
along William street, smashing shop
windows with their butt ends of
rlfies, destroyfng the lamps on the
electric standards by rifle fire and
plunging the whole street In dark
ness. Two premises were set on fire,
one a garage. A number of animals
were burned to death and the motor
cars in the garage destroyed.
Many persons left their houses and
passed the night in distant parts of
the city. Two wounded policemen
were found in Foyles street.
Firemen Appeal for Aid.
A fire brigade called to fires in
William street had a thrilling experi
ence. Before starting, the firemen
appealed to the military for aid and
a number of armed soldiers traveled
on the engines. On their way rifle
fire was opened upon them from both
sides of the road. The soldiers re
turned the fire and two men were
seen to fall..
To escape the fusillade, the engines
took a circuitous route and called at
the military barracks to get more sol
diers before proceeding. The official
report of the disorders said that three
constables in- plain clothes sustained
severe gunshot wounds, it was be
lieved from the military escorting the
fire brigade. Of two stores wrecked,
one belonged to a member of the Lon
donderry corporation.
- North Belfast Rioting; Fierce.

area, broke out in North Belfast this
afternoon, the neighborhood involved
being known as the Stanhope area,
which has figured in every disturb
ance since July. Hundreds joined in
the fray, the unionists with stones
and the Sinn Felners with revolvers
and rifles.
A large body of police made re
peated baton charges to keep the fac
tions apart until the arrival of the
military with an armored car when
the rioters were dispersed. .
' A laborer was shot dead in Cork by
a military curfew patrol Saturday
night. The soldiers alleged he thrice
disregarded orders .to halt.

Channel, Salvage Crew Pre
dicts Success Today.
WHEELER, Or., Nov. 7. -(Special.)
Efforts to float the stranded mo
tor schooner Oregon Were partially
successful today. She was moved 75
feet. Sixty feet separates her from
the channel with a nine-foot tide.
Tomorrow those in charge of sal
vaging operations predict success.
Several shipping men are watching
the unique method of pulling the boat
into the water. The day was ideal for
the work. Large crowds gathered
from all parts of Tillamook county
and cheered every time the boat was
seen to move.-'
Captain Woepke reported that the
schooner had no water in her hold,
and that she evidently suffered no
damage when she grounded.
Workmen have rigged a block and
tackle to the schooner, and a logging
engine is being used to pull her
toward the river.
The first intention was to make the
salvage attempt at high water,
but the . men were unable to
get the machinery ready in time, and
the atempt was postponed until Sat
urday morning.
The Oregon left San Francisco Oc
tober 27, but encountered heavy seas,
which delayed her several days. She
is a full-rigged auxiliary schooner,
with a 160 horse power engine, and
carried a crew of 14 men. She went
on the beach after her rudder fouled
as she entered the river.

ON BOARD PRESIDENT-ELECT
HARDING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Nov. 7.
By the Associated Press.) On his
way southward through eastern Texas
to begin ..is vacation tomorrow at
Point Isabel,, President-elect Harding
was welcomed to the Lone Star state
today -by many applauding crowds
who gathered eagerly about his train
to shake hands and congratulate him
on his election.
At several of the larger places he
responded to demands for a speech
and voiced briefly his doctrine of a
reunited nation in which sectionalism
and class should be forgotten.
Religious Awakening Urged.
He assured every crowd that his
administration would be guided by
the good of all the people, rather than
by partisanship and also included in
every speech a plea for Sabbath ob
servance and for an awakened re
ligious reverence in America.
As his train entered the state the
president-elect received a message of
greeting and welcome from Governor
Hobby and replied thankfully, voicing
a hope that his stay along the south-
ermost border of the country would
help to cement the relations of the
north and the sodth.
. Trip Is Unofficial.
Point Isabel, where the party is to
arrive at noon tomorrow, is on the
gulf coast and within six miles of the
Rio Qrande. - The approach ' of the
president-elect so near the Mexican
border caused considerable specula
tion today as to whether he might
use his 12 days' stay to gather first
hand information of conditions in the
southern republic, but it was said
aboard the train that any steps he
took would be of a strictly unofficial
character.
It has been reported that efforts
would be made to arrange a confer
ence between Mr. Harding and Gen
eral Obregon, the president-elect of
Mexico, and informal overtures are
expected from the anti-Obregon fac
tion, but Mr. Harding has indicated
that in the interests of strict pro
priety he would not encourage any
consultation with those who are not

Need of Religious Education as
Safeguard for Nation of Fu
ture Is Emphasized.
BEND, Or., Nov. 7. (Special.)
That the divorce evil constitutes a
constantly growing menace, which if
unchecked will eventually undermine
the American republic, was the dec
laration this morning of Archbishop
Christie of Portland, in his sermon at
the" dedication of the new Catholic
church of St. Francis of Asslssi. "The
archbishop emphasized the stand of
the Catholic church against divorce,
and urged the need for religious edu
cation as an added safeguard for the
nation of the future. His sermon was
devoted chiefly to a comprehensive
outline of the history of Catholicism
from its earliest conception to the
present day.
Archbishop Christie paid a glowing
tribute to the work of Father Luke
Sheehan, head of the Bend church,
whose missionary labors In central
Oregon, conducted over a period of
many years, reached their fruition to
day in the ' dedication of the new
church building.
The services, attended by hundreds,
started at 10 A. M. this morning when
Archbishop Christie, Bishop McGrath
of Baker, with the resident and visit
ing clergy, entered the church. A few
moments later, a tour of the building
was made. Bishop McGrath blessing
the outer walls and re-entering, bless
ing the inner walls and the altar.
Knights of Columbus of Bend, Port

of honor for the members of the
clergy.

by the bishop, with the archbishop
presiding. Toward the- close of the
services, before solemn benediction
was pronounced. Bishop McGrath
spoke briefly, congratulating the
Catholics of central Oregon on their
achievement and acknowledging the

tier, assisted in the impressive cere
mony, attending the dedication.

"Mrs. Herbert Asquith has been In

Smith from Paris to the Daily News.
"Why; she come's abroad when every

ACTION IS UP TO CONGRESS
Treasury Officials' Reports
Laid Before Houston.
OBLIGATIONS TO MATURE
Retention of Present Level Is Held
'- Unavoidable in Face of
Average Expenditures
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (By the
Associated Press.) The nation will
face a continuation of the annual tax
bill of four billion dollars for a pe
riod fit at least three years if con
gress adopts recommendations draft
ed by treasury officials and which.
It was understood tonight, have been
laid before Secretary Houston for ap
proval. Mr. Houston. Jt was said, probably
will include such recommendations
In the form of an analysis of the gov
ernment's financial condition in his
forthcoming annual "report to con
gress. The analysis will show, and
accompanying recommendations will
suggest, it was said, that a three
year programme for tax revision is
required in order to meet maturing
government obligations and cover
current federal expenses and that ap
proximately eight billion dollars in
victory notes, war savin'gs securities
and treasury certificates of Indebted
ness will be due for payment within
the next three years.
Tax Is Held Unavoidable.
Retention of present aggregate
level of taxes, or maintenance of the
annual revenue of the government at
about four billion dollars then is held
to be unavoidable on the face of av
erage expenditures estimated for the
period.
Recommendations- -to-, be. piade L1
Mr: Houston, Jt was' understood,', will
propose abolishment of the excess
proft taxes in their entirety and the
substitution therefor of a graduated
income tax of a substantial deeper
cut than under present revenue laws.
It was believed the new income taxes
would apply only to incomes above
15000 annually and that provision
would be made for a graduated in
crease even on the additional tax as
the amount of income grows larger.
Economy Proposal Expected.
The secretary is expected to advise
congress that the strictest economy
in federal appropriations is necessary
lr tne programme outlined on the
basis of a four. billion dollar tax bill
is to be accomplished. He said that
there was no way to estimate with
any degree of accuracy what even the
present law would yield in revenue
because of rapidly changing condi
tions in business as a result' of after-the-war
transition and readjustment.
Mr. Houston's view of this was
said to be that (ax receipts would be
materially lower later in the present
fiscal year, which ends June 30, 1921,
and that therefore the government
Income under the present revenue
laws could not be taken as a basis
for calculating future receipts.
Difficult Task Forecast.
This attitude, which Is held also
by practically all treasury officials
having to do with tax collections,
forecasts a task of great difficulty for
the framers qf the new revenue act
The treasury will insist strorgly on
legislation which would produce
$4,000,000,000 for the next year, but
the ways and means of getting it
will be left- to congress except for
the suggestions contained in the
treasury's report.
In fact, the tax law framers will be
informed that there is no alternative
to voting a revenue act that will pro
duce the required amount.
The programme for handling the
national debt can be accomplished
only through annual revenue of
$4,000,000,000, treasury officiate hold.
With the victory notes maturing in
1923 and the war savings securities
falling due in the interim and until
1924. It was declared, a possibility
that the $4,000,00,000 tax level might
have to be continued even until the
latter date.
Clash of "Views Expected.
Treasury views were expected to
clash w'th those of the republican
majority in congress on questions of
ways and means " of obtaining the
needed revenue. But with the chang
ing administration, it was understood
the 'present regime at the treasury
would merely suggest and offer little
argument-in support of their stand
for repeal of the excess profits taxes
and replacements of the amounts so
gained by -higher income taxes.
It was expected that tariff ques
tions would be brought Into the dis
cussion and that those in charge of
tax legislation might seek to offset
some of the deficit-by higher duties
and customs, acceding' to the treas
ury's arguments for wiping t the
profits tax prov'sions off the statute
books.
The treasury is committed to a
continuation of the sale- of savings
securities. Although amounts thus
obtained are small they help mater
ially in relieving current burdens of
demand on the treasury.

City Is Home of Wife; Community
Said to Approacli Ideal
of Executive.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 7.
(Special.) The question as to where
President and Mrs. Wilson will make
their home after March 4 next prob
ably will be answered within the next
few weeks, according to persons in
close touch with the White House.
While no official or unofficial
statement has come from any mem
ber of the president's family, the be
lief is growing that Mr. Wilson will
make. Washington his permanent
home. This belief Is based on the fact
that it is the home of Mrs. Wilson,
and also because of the oft-expressed
statement by the president that
Washington approaches his ideal city.
Those in close touch with the White
House, who intimate that the presi
dent will not leave Washington, point
to the fact that for the last few weeks
k- has taken a keen interest in real
estate on his daily automobile ride.
He has displayed special interest in
Georgetown, which was the fashion
able residential quarter In the early
days of Washington, and the modern
fashionable residential section of
Chevy Chase.
Often on his daily automobile ride
the president has his car stopped near
the old Colonial mansion recently pur
chased by Rear-Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, and this has given rise to
the belief that while Dr. Grayson has
insisted that the home was purchased
for his own use, ultimately it will be
turned over to Mr. Wilson. On the
other hand, it is pointed out that the
president has devoted an equal
amount of interest in certain sec
tions near Chevy Chase.
UNION LEADER IS SILENT
Xo Statement Made In Regards to
Eliding or Theater Strike.
E. E. Pettinglll, president of the
Portland musicians' union, who has
been in conference in Seattle with J.
G. Von Herberg and C. S. Jensen over
termination of the theatrical federa
tion strike against the chain of
northwest theaters operated by Jen
sen & Von Herberg, returned last
night to Seattle after passing a few
hours In Portland. Mr. Pettinglll was
noncommittal about the results of
t!ii conference and was unwilling to
make a statement.
It is understood, however, that
practical settlement has been reached
in the conference and that terms are
withheld pending signing of the agree
ment which is expected within the
next few days. Meanwhile all strike
activity against the theaters in Port
land has 4een dropped.
IRISH PROTEST TO WILSON
Hundreds Will March Around
White House for 73 Days.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. Hundreds
of Irish sympathizers marched for an
hour tonight in single- file around the
White House as a protest against
the recent death of Terence Mac
Swiney. The demonstration was or
ganized at a meeting of the local
branch of the Friends of Irish Free
dom and it was announced it would
be repeated each night for 73 days,
once for each of the days MacSwiney
fasted before his death.
Banners bearing Inscriptions, "tfet
the British army out of Ireland" and
"MacSwiney's death shall not be In
vain," and others were 'carried by
the marchers. President Wilson, it
was said, had retired and there was
no indication from the White House
that the presence of the marchers had
been observed.

EXTRA FARE IS DROPPED
Xew Shasta to Be Well Equipped,
But Pre-War Brilliancy
Will Be Lacking.
A niche left vacant by the passing
of the old Shasta Limited, which in
pre-war days was the pride of train
men and passengers alike, will be
partially filled, at least, by the addi
tion of a new train, Tln Shasta,"
to the Southern Pacific service 'be
tween Portland, Puget Sound and
California points, according to an an- .
nouncement by John M. Scott, general
agent of the Southern Pacific
. The new revision in passenger train
schedules, effective next Sunday, will
also include the addition of through
sleeping-car service between Puget
Sound points and California.
Many Portlanders remember when
the old Shasta Limited, discontinued
in June. 1918, as a war emergency,

Limited Peer of All Trains.
It Is remembered with regret, be
cause the limited was the peer of all
passenger trains of the country at a
time when railroad equipment manu
facturers were bending every effort
toward producing artistic triumphs in
perfectly appointed and equipped cars.
William O'Mallory, one of the first
engineers to pilot a Southern Pacific
train in the early days of Oregon's
railroad history, was at the throttle

Shnstn Limited Laid Aside.
Uniformed attendants helped the
passengers to alight, and, while the
spectators watched in silence, the
glittering train pulled out of tho
depot and out of the schedule. For
war was war, and the Shasta Limited,
like all other extra tralna through
out the country, was laid. aside.
The new Shasta, which will make its
initial run next Sunday, is a well
appointed train, but it is not the
Shasta of old. The scheduled time for
the Portland to San Francisco run is
30 hours, as compared to 27 for the
old limited. No extra fare will be
charged on this train, which will con
sist of five sleepers, one compart
ment observation car, one diner and
one baggage car.

The revised train schedule for Port
