Negotiations - were completed yesterday whereby the estate of Archduke . Frederick of Austria, and his son. Archduke Al brecht estimated to be worth more than $200,000.000 were taken over by an American syndicate, which in eludes C. H. Sabin. J. L. Replogle, Frank A. Munsey, T. J. Felder and Other American business men. Samuel Untermyer, New York law yer, represented the syndicate, and Archduke Albrecht took part in be half of himself, his father, his wife (aabel, and his six sisters. The transaction concerns the vast land and industrial holdings of the Eiapsburgs. distributed throughout Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugro Riavia, . Poland, Roumania -and Italy. They include the great steel works end mines in Teschen. partly in Czecho-Slovakia and partly in Poland. The estate comprises other 'industries, Including the dairies near Vienna, sugar plantations, factories, apart ment houses, palaces and other pri vate property in Vienna, castles, about 1,000,000 acres- of land and the Albertina museum in Vienna. Archduke Frederick wis a field . marshal and was commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian armies in the war. His grandfather was a nephew of Emperor Francis L He is the uncle of King Alphonse - of Epain. His sister was queen of Ba varia. Thus, a considerable part or the property came from the Saxon house. This is regarded as important byJ the American syndicate, because the properties were not part of the pos sessions of the Austrian crown, but came to Archduke Frederick from other sources. A large part of the properties were eurchased and developments from pri -rate means were increased during the 150 years by investments and re turns from new enterprises. Arch duke Frederick was excluded from all hi properties in countries former ly, composing the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Borne nave oeen seques tered and others were claimed as confiscated. nr."

U.S.L CENSUS DECLARED CHEERING Army of Unemployed Is Rap idly Dwindling. TALK OF HARD TIMES ENDS Steady Trend Back to Factories, - Hills and Mines General, Buy : ' ' era' - Strike Breaking. . 1' BY HARDEN COLFAX. ' (Copyright 19-t by The Oreg-onlan.) 'WASHINGTON, D. C.,' Sept. 10. (Special.) For the first . time s'nee the beginning of the industrial crisis the government is taking a census of the unemployed. That census covers the men actually out of work through no fault of their own In every city of more than 2S.O0O in habitants 231 cities in all. It will be completed next Wednes- f day, passed on to the president and used in the forthcoming conference on unemployment Many reports from many industries already aie at hand. They show: First That business is coming back more rapidly than even opti mists thought it would. Second That unemployment is de cidedly on the wane; that a steady trend back to work in factories, mills and mines Is general. Third That labor has liquidated largely its war-time wage excesses and that few more material cuts are in immed'ate prospect . Fourth That Secretary Davis' recent estimate of more than 3,000,000 as the size of the army of unem ployed understated the case, but that the swing back to a general business revival has resulted In hundreds of thousands of that army returning to the pay-rolls during the past month. Returning; Prosperity Felt Fifth That In almost every city of the country nine business men out of every ten have quit talking about hard times and are feeling the first effects of returning prosperity. Sixth That buying orders for al most everything the people of the country usually purchase are begin ning to seep over the barriers of the buyers' strike and that the full force of the buying movement is expected soon. The officials of the department of labor making the survey are cheered by the prospects. They have figures in hand which show that the number of unemployed will reach Into the millions and hence do not minimize the unhapplness of the present, but they also have figures showing that the numbers are demlnishing fast and indications that they will diminish still faster in the next 30 days. Surface indications of the revival during the week include a sensational rise in the prices of cotton, a marked increase in production of iron, steel and coal; an apparent solution of some of the difficulties of the old Industry; a bullish stock market; a new high mark for the year in rail road income and a further strengthen ing of the credit situation. The nation-wide census of the idle is a new thing. , Heretofore the labor department has issued a monthly survey of em ployment showing the number of men employed on the last day of each month at 1624 Identical plants throughout the country. No attempt was made to collect figures showing the number of men idle. Various communities, however, notably New York City, have com piled their , own unemployment sur veys. In New York, the number of idle was placed at 500,000. The figure is much too high, it is thought, at the labor department It contains not only the number of men idle through no fault of 'their own, but the number of men out on strike, obviously different conditions of un employment In one case the unem ployment is involuntarily in the other optional.

Swift's story was brief: "It was rough last night," said he todayv-and I had difficulty keeping my rowboat afloat It began to rain about midnight .and toward dawn 1 was quite close to the shore when I saw a dark shadow emerge from the waterfront brush. . I at once called half, and as the . figure turned to run I fired once." Several ranchers heard a shot about 11 o'clock Saturday night, but diligent inquiry by Warden Maloney failed to identify the person who fired, and many think that it may have been Gardner. Until yesterday the guards in the man hunt were detailed in pairs, but in order to cover greater territory, Maloney has ordered the men to scat ter. The rowboat cordon is being maintained about the island day and night. When the tide is at complete full or low the guards are concentrated along Pitts passage, where if Gard ner expects to swim from the island he probably will essay the attempt. " "I am sure that unless Gardner had an accomplice he is still on the island," declared Captain Henly. "I have watched the tides about this island for 37 years and I know that no man could swim the current of Pitts passage with the tide coming in. or going out. The current is too swift. If a man attempted it he would be swept into the open sea in either direction, depending upon the tide. In addition, the water is cold. its temperature varying only two de grees here summer and winter. "The only time Gardner would have a chance to swim Pitts passage would be at slack water and at that time we have guards all along the pass. There were guards at the passage within 30 minutes of the time of the escape who would have caught him had he attempted to swim Immediate ly after fleeing. Then, too, there is a guard on Mosquito island in the lddle of the channel who was on the lookout when the siren started to blow, signaling Gardner's escape." Road Guard Strengthened. Tonight the guard along the Ger trude road was strengthened, and a fourth appearance is expected to re sult in his capture or death. Since shooting on the island Has become more promiscuous, with pros pects of an early battle with the des perado, several women have left their homes and are living with relatives in Tacoma and nearby communities until after Gardner has been cap tured. The prison launch tonight was crowded with women and children, seeking safer refuge on the main land. Three new guards were dispatched to the warden tonight by P. J. Mc Murray, special agent for the North ern Pacific railroad. They were H. N. Crowl, E. J. Crawford and James Gilligan. This brings the number of guards to 40 with the return of W. F.

' 9 COMPANIES IN OUTFIT Many ei-Portlanders Are Officers In Regiment Famous for Prow , ess In . Athletics. Vancouver barracks becomes the home cC the famous 59th Infantry to day. Nine companies, with a total of 700 men, wi!' arrive in the military post at 9 o'clock this morning, after having made a ten-day hike from Camp Lewis. Last night the regiment bivouacked seven miles north of Vancouver after having hiked 18 miles during the day. This hike seemed to mean very little to the hardened soldiers, for after pup tents had been raised and mess fin ished scores started for Vancouver, despite the fact that this meant 14 miles of hiking before "first call," this morning. Dozens of automobiles from Port land and Vancouver traveled to the encampment site of the regiment yes terday afternoon, for in the person nel of oficers of the regiment are sev eral ex-Portland men. City Commis eioner Barbur was on the grounds when the regiment moved in and met his son. Captain H. H. Barbur, who commands the howitzer company. Colonel Jordan Absent. Several people were there looking for Colonel William H. Jordan, who commands the regiment but they were disappointed. The popular of ficer, who is well known in social and athletic circles in Portland, was left behind to coach the corps football team which is being organized at Camp Lewis. He will not join his reg iment until football season is at an end. Captain Everett May, formerly Oregon Agricultural college football and basketball star, will remain at Camp Lewis as Colonel Jordan's as sistant and then join the regiment at Vancouver. , Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur W. Brad bury has assumed command of the regiment in the absence of Colonel Jordan. He took up his quarters in the post last night and made ready for the arrival of the troops today. Colonel Bradbury is well known among many ex-service men in Port land. He was a captain in the 362d infantry of the 91st division and was I decorated with the distinguished service cross for gallantry in action September 29, 1918. Bradbury was a major when the war ended, but in an examination qualified and was pro moted to a lieutenant-colonelcy. Pre vious to the war he was in civilian life. s Other Orrgonlana Present. Captain C. E. Knickerbocker was also a member of the 362d infantry and commanded C company. Captain C. H. Bragg was formerly a student in Oregon Agriculture college and his home is in Baker. The only second lieutenant in the regiment and one of the very few in the army, Is C. R. Hazeltine, a graduate of Oregon Agricultural col lege,' with the class of 1921. Captain R. H. Back is no stranger in Port land for he was born in Vancouver and is the son of Judge Back. A part of the regiment Is in Alaska on special duty. The companies with the organization are C, D, H, I. K, L and M and the service and howitzer companies. Enlisted Men Strangers. The enlisted men are for the most part strangers to the Pacific coast. They were recruited mostly from Wisconsin and passed through the Chicago recruiting headquarters. The regimental march is "on Wisconsin." They .are a fine type of men. Most of them are new In the service and only a small percentage of the per sonnel saw fighting with the or ganization when it made a reputa tion with the famous fourth division. Athletic Prowess Proved. ' The men are making a name for their regiment in the way of athletics. They are apt pupils in athletics, and have an able leader in Colonel Jordan. "We have won every contest we have been in so far," said Captain Knickerbocker last night. "We will turn out a football team that will give a battle to any college or ath letic club eleven. We have a base ball team that is a dandy. The man who must be given the credit for the fame the reaiment is achieving as an athletic body rs Colonel Jordan. The men will do anything in the world for him." The hike from Camp Lewis has been made in easy stages. Light marching equipment consisting of one blanket and a total of about 35 pounds was carried.
