"From this statement," said the
Celestial Visitor Is Visible With
Telescopes In Various Ob
servatories of Country.
Next Sunday and Monday are im
portant days, in celestial circles. Ac
cording to information given out by
various observatories throughout the
country, on or about Monday, June 27,
the tail of the Pons-Winnecke comet
will come in contact with the earth,
and a meteoric display such as has
seldom been witnessed on this earth
may result from this contact. But
according to the leading astronomers
of the country, the exact time of this
meeting of the earth with the tail of
the comet cannot be ascertained.
According to Professor J. W. Dan
iels, of the Hill Military academy ob
servatory, there is a possibility of the
disturbance taking place Sunday
night and it may take place Monday
or Monday night, but a close watch
will be kept for it both days. It is
not possible to tell exactly, according
to Professor Daniels,' and it is im
possible to see the comet, especially
since the earth is in the wake of the
tail.
The celestial visitor has been visi
ble with the use of telescopes from
the observatories in different parts of
the country, including Cambridge,
Mass., and Berkeley, Cal., observa
tories, since June 12, and its nearest
approach to the earth was on June 7,
when it was 12.000,000 miles away. It
will remain visible to the- earth by
means of the telescopes for about a
month, although it will at no time be
visible to the naked eye.
According to Prof. A. O. Leuschner,
of the University of California, the
meteor shower may take place on
June 29, but this is providing the
comet hass meteoric material in its
wake. The earth and the comet are
now in a celestial speed race. The
comet has a start of about 12,000,000,
miles, and about now is the time
when the comet is due to swipe the
eerth with its tail, causing the mete
oric shower. The shower, if it occurs,
will be a harmless and inspiring spe-
taclc.

DENVER. June 23. William Ran
dolph Hearst was denounced on the
floor of the convention of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor today by
President Samuel Gompers as a
"traitor to the cause of America, to
the cause of freedom, an -enemy of
labor and of Ireland."
This statement, together with many
other denunciatory remarks regard
ing Hearst made by President
Gompers in a reply to a question from
the floor as to his stand on the Irish
question, was cheered and" applauded
by the delegates.
War Record Attacked.
The veteran labor leader declared
that Hearst had attacked him be
cause he had declined to be "chained
to his mad chariot for the presidency
of the United States" and because he
had tried to "see to it that Mexico
shall go undisturbed and not be over
run by the American forces."
Defining his stand on the Irish
question, President Gompers declared
that he had carried out every declara
tion, of the federation extending
sympathy and aid to the Irish re
public.
Challenge I Issued.
"The only real charge against me is
(and I plead guilty to it) that I have
not freed Ireland," he said. "I chal
lenge any man to show I have been
faithless in any declaration made by
the American Federation of Labor. or
that 1' have been, false, faithless or
negligent of any of its directions.
"When the American Federation of
Labor declared that policies be pur
sued, even if they drove men to Jail,
I did not falter in the fight or in the
faith."
President Gompers expressed regret
that he had to discuss this matter be
fore the election of officers.
A proposal to organize a banking
and beneficial department of the fed
eration and establish a system of co
operative labor banks throughout the
country was defeated.

ge Trees Uprooted and Throw
In Streets by Terrific Wind
Mercury 98 Before Storm.
WALLA WALLA,. Wash., June 23
(Special.) Walla Walla's hot spell
cirnt to a sudden end about 3 o'clock
this afternoon when a terrific wind
and rainstorm struck, tearing down
trees, blowing off awnings, smashing
plate glass windows and doing othe
damage throughout the city and dis
trict.
Hail in excess of an Inch In diam
eter fell In the upper Mill creek sec
tion and some damage was done to
fruit and wheat Wheat was leveled
by the wind. '
When the first gust of wind struck
Walla Walla the temperature was 98
degrees. Thirty minutes later it had
dropped to 71. One-fifth of an inch
of rain fell in the city, 13-100ths of an
inch falling in five minutes. The
wind in the city reached a velocity of
36 miles an hour but was much
heavier in the country. "
.The street car line was put out of
commission in the Boyer avenge dis
trict when the trolley wire was,Ilown
down and live wires were scattered
over the street.
The storm ended as suddenly as it
started.
The wind in the city was almost
cyclonic in nature, uprooting huge
trees which were planted when
Walla Walla was a village. More
trees were blown down in this storm
than any in the recollection of pio
neers In many instances trees fell
entirely-across streets, blocking
traffic and carrying down electric
light and telephone wires. ,
Other trees fell on houses and In
yards,, narrowly missing people, but
no one was injured. One woman
drove ner automobile under a tree
for shelter, then felt a premonition
and jumped out of the car with her
small baby. A minute later a large
tree branch crashed through the top
of the automobile and struck on the
seat she had just left. Certain sec
tions of the city practically escaped
wind damage, but in the East Main
street district, on Washington street
and others, tree after tree went down.
Reports coming to the city tonight
showed that heavy damage had been
done to fruit trees in the valley. On
some trees practically all the fruit'
was shaken off.

BY MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyright by the New York Evening Post,
Inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON. D. C, June 23.
(Special.) Any enumeration of de
velopments in Washington, beginning
to be apparent just now, will prob
ably start with the serious possibil
ity that no tariff bill may be passed
by the present session of congress.
This would be a startling develop
ment, considering how much emphasis
was laid on the tariff by the repub
ican leaders at the beginning of the
administration.
Disagreement la Noted.
The tariff, so far as it has gone, Is
still in the ways and means commit
tee of the house, ten weeks after tne
beginning of the session.
Far from approaching the kind of
agreement that would mean an early
perfection of the bill, the fact is that
in the house disagreement becomes
daily more apparent and more violent.
After the house ways and means
committee is through, the findnoe
committee of the senate will prob
ably spend another ten weeks on the
bill. It may well be September be
fore debate on the bill gets under
vay In the senate and under all the
rcumstances it would be bold to
predict that the debate can be fin
ished and the bill passed before De
cember 1.
Increased, Energy Noted.
Within the past few days thoSe re
publican leaders who believe it is a
mistake to pass the tariff bill first
and that the revision of taxes is toe
more immediate necessity I.-ive shown
ncreased energy. It Is likely that
very soon increased emphasis will be
given to taxation measures.
Another conspicuous and unexpect
ed development is that in the present
state of the senate the man who
comes nearer than anyone else to be-
ng a leader of that leaderless body
s Senator Borah. Borah is as uncon
cerned with leadership in the formal
sense and as loose In his attachment
o the republican party organization
he ever was. Probably it would
be most improbable to expect him ever
take on the responsibility of for
mal leadership.
Treaty Question Is Up.
The actions of formal leadership
are such as to be greatly repugnant
his temperament. But if leader-
hip consists in getting what you
ight for, Borah comes as near being
leader as anybody else in the sen- I
to. It is a leadership that depends
pon the recognition of popular'
uses and the earnest advocacy of
them.
A third development apparent this
eek concerns the question of re-
ewing- the Anglo-Japanese treaty,
Within this field, there are no official
utterances and no one can do more
than make deductions from observa
tion. The appearance of things is
that the government looks on this
matter as of interest to It but makes
no pretence to clai: i that either
Great Britain or Japan is called upon
to consult it. But it's also apparent
that the government would not wish
those British colonies which object
to the- treaty to be misled info with
drawing their objection on any theory
that the United States had been con
sulted. Treaty Objections Heard.
Outside the administration, in the
senate and elsewhere, where men feel
more free to talk, there is as much
objection to the renewal of this treaty
as there is in the British colonies.
Men who are not in official positions
of responsibility do not hesitate to
say that however much justification
there may have been for this treaty
at a time when Germany and Russia
were active In the east and when
Great Britain had to protect herself
against them, those reasons do not
now exist as justification for a re
newal of the treaty.
The grounds given by friends of
Great Britain as reasonable justifi
cation for renewing the treaty were
that this Is the best way for Great
Britain to preserve and further her
commercial interests in the east, that
failure to renew the treaty would be
an unpleasant thing for Great Britain
to do toward as loyal an ally as Japan
has been, and finally the fact that an
identity in religion between a large
part of Japan and a large part of
India makes the treaty desirable to
Great Britain in the highest interest!
of the empire.
Privilege of Renewing Option on
Canadian Acreage Declared to
Have Been Given Guide.
NEW YORK, June 23. (Special.)
Mrs. James A.'Stillman has demanded,
through her lawyers, that Dr. Hugh
Russell of Buffalo return to her cer
tain papers in his possession and the
possession of a nephew of Dr. Rus
sell, who Is a lawyer in Canada.
This, It was learned today, was the
reason for the trip to Canada of one
of Mr. Brennan's Investigators and
not to bring Fred Beauvals, the guide,
back to testify. Mr. Wallace, the in
vestigator, was accompanied by Miss
Estelie Kiee, Mrs. Stillman's secre
tary. At the last hearing In Poughkeep-
sio Dr. Russell testified that options
to certain property adjoining the
Stillman camp at Stillman's, Three
Rivers, Canada, were in the name ot
Fred Beauvals. A blank check made
out by Mrs. iStillman also figured in
the testimony. The intimation, It was
said, was that Bcauvais was being
assisted by Mrs. Stillman.
It was said by Mrs. Stillman's at
torneys that Mrs. Stillman owns a
good many thousand acres In Can
ada, but wanted some 20 acres ad
joining her estate. Fred Beauvals
got an option for her for the addi
tional property in 1916. This option
expired. To get an extension, .Mrs.
Stillman later gave Beauvals her
blank check, which he filled in for
$500, it was said. Eventually Mrs.
Stillman bought the land and the
deeds are now recorded in her name.
Dr. Russell, who has been a con
tractor in New Jersey and worked
three years for a title guarantee com
pany In Chicago, went to the Still
man camp in 1919 and advised Mrs.
Stillman to look up titles to her prop
erty. His nephew did some of the
work, and it is asserted that Dr.
Russell still retains copies of some
of Mrs. Stillman's papers.
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers insist that
Dr. Russell, who testified at a hear
ing that Mrs. Stillman had told him
Fred Ueauvais was the father of Guy,
used information from the papers in
conferences in the interest of Still
man and are trying to find ground
for legal action against the doctor.

Two of yesterday's matches were
truly remarkable, going eaira holes,
and found the participants playing
the best golf, not only of the tourna
ment, but of any Pacific cast tour
ney. It would be hard to distinguish
between the Smith-Schmidt match and
the Egan-Griswold tilt for brilliant
play i a?.
To Clare Grlswold of the Portland
Golf club and an ex-champion must
go credit for playing a wonderful
game. Matched with H. Chandler
Egan, ex-national titleholder and
twice winner of the northwest cham
pionship, Grlswold forced the Waver
ley player to the 39th hole before the
match was decided.
At the end of the morning roun i
Egan had 2 up, and he held this ad
vantage to the sixth hole of the sec
ond 18 holes. On this hole Grlswold
cut down his opponent's lead to 1
hole by taking a t to Egan' S. The
match was square at the turn.
Mnlrh Square on IMlh.
Coming in on the second nine of th
afternoon round, Grlswold won the
lUlh and 15th holes, while the W'aer
ley star took the 11th and 16th holes,
and the match was all square on the
final hole of the eccond IS.
Going tn the 37th hole, Gr'swold
had a good Olive while Egan hooked
his tee shot. Egan's second shot
landed him on the back edge of the
green while Grlswold socketed his
second shot, landing un a line with
the out-of-bouml stakes. After a
careful survey by A. Vernon ..lacan,
umpire of the match, thu Portland
club player received the benefit of
tie doubt and his next shot placed
him 12 feet on the green. Uoth sunk
their putts for a half anuV were off
for the 3Sth hole.

Driving to tho lsth, bbth players
made excellent shots. Grlswold
missed his approuth and Egan failed
to end tho match on this hole by
missing a ten-foot put. Griswold
halved the hole by sinking his three
foot putt.
At tho 39th both players again had
terrific drives down the course und
were lying side by side. GrlswoM
pluyed first and hooked his nio-hle
across tne green, i-ir.in aunued nis
second shot and was short of the
green. The Waverley man, however,
played a beautiful chip shot, landing
one foot from tho flag. The match
ended when Grlswold missed his ten-
foot putt.

Russell Smith In his match with
Heinle Schmidt continued to serve up
the same consistent and steady game
with which he defeated Rudolph Vt'il
helm in the second round on Wednes
day. AtJ-rtat he found a worthy op
ponent in Schmidt, the Grays Harbor
Country club contender, who forced
him to go to the 3Sth hole befors he
finally won the match. It was an
even contest with both men playing
par golf for practically the entire
match.
In the morning round Smith was Ir
trouble on the sixth when he drovi
into a trap while Schmidt also had
bad holes on the seventh and eighth,
being in the rough on tho former and
