THE HORNING OREGONIAX, "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1923 CASTLE OF CHI 8 Shots Fired at Home of Ul ster Premier and Wife. OFFICIALS ARE RETICENT l Attempt to Burn Residence of Oil i Merchant in Cromac Street 'f . P'rustrated by Police. BELFAST, June 20. (By the As- eociated Press.) Shots were fired - early today In the vicinity of Stor-,- mont castle, wnicn was purchased r; by the Ulster candildates as the offi '" cial residence of Sir James Craig, ' the premier, who, with his wife, took .- up his residence there for the first " time last night. Officials were reticent regarding . the firing, but the belief was ex- pressed in other quarters that an at tack on the castle was contemplated but was frustrated by the police guards. It developed later that the attack " on the premier's home was more se- - rlous than at first reported. Several " bullets struck the building where Sir James and Lady Craig were , sleeping. Incendiaries entered the premises ol an oil merchant in Cromac street early today and sprinkled gasoline - about the place. They were inter ' rupted by the approach of a police patrol, however, and fled. One of them was shot by the police and " mortally wounded. It was announced today at Clones that the blockade on the frontier in J this section had been raised. For " the first time in three months traf X flc of all kinds Is being permitted to pass.

The results of the elections are still incomplete and final figures in some of the ; important constituencies will not be . announced until Wednesday. There has been some hitch at Waterford, which, with Tipperary east, forms "- a constituency of five seats and two " officials of the provisional govern - ment have gone there to straighten the matter out. The De Valera members whose - seats in the dail are endangered, i include Catahl Prugha (Charles Burgess), ex-minister of defense, . and beamus Robinson, one of the " leaders of the dissentient . section of the army. v The nature of the hitch is not definitely known, but it is expected a to cause a postponeme.nt . of the - declaration of the results for pos i sibly 24 hours. It is known that J a pro-treaty candidate headed the poll. There is one huge constituency in Cork county returning eight members, with the newcomers con . testing the seats of the four treaty and four anti-treaty members, the ;. former including Michael Collins .and the latter the well-known novelist and poet, Daniel Corkery. s The successes of the independents t have affected both the treaty and anti-treaty panelists, but the anti- treaty candidates far more severely than the others. The republicans had counted on dropping 15 seats of their existing strength andthus far, with 28 seats still unannounced, they have dropped 11. According to - estimates they may drop at least - eight more. " uThe most cnsplcuous success of the De Valera adherents and the . only constituency in which they ; have suffered no loss was Mayo iast and Sligo, with five seats, of which they held and still hold three.

Wife, an Attractive and Petite Blonde, Seeks Separation, $100 Week Alimony. NEW YORK, June 20. (Special.) Mrs. Brandon Hendricks, an at tractive and petite blonde, told Jus tice Seeger at White Plains yester day that she felt she was entitled to a separation, $100 a week alimony and $2500 counsel fee because her hus band had thrown silver teapots at her, constantly nagged her and otherwise mistreated her. The court reserved decision. Mr. Headricks, who is president of the Call-a-Tellow Taxi company, and as such makes $10,000 a year, according to his wife, did not appear in court to answer her charges. His counsel sDOke for htm, claiming first off that the salary is but half of the $10,000 mentioned by Mrs. Hen dricks. The nagging, according to Mrs. Hendricks, concerned charges of misconduct with other men which , were untrue. But counsel for Mr. nenuriCKS aseencu inui mey wcv justified. Ha described in detail a house party given at a home in Sound Beach, Conn. . Hendricks ar rived late. He was met at the door, according to his counsel, by an en thusiastic and perhaps over-exuberant guest. The guest had been drinking, he said. "There's a dizzy blonde here," was the welcome Hendricks is said to have received, "and she's some kisser. She's just gone upstairs." Hendricks was dumbfounded, said his attorney, when the "dizzy blonde" came down again a few mo ments later and turned out to be his wife. i HASTY MERGER IS URGED (Continued From First Page.) ballasting the line, and have con tracted for $4,000,000 worth of im provements In Los Angeles county alone." Free Competition Denied. Athearn asserted that there never had been free competition in the central part of California while the Central Pacific was controlled by the Southern Pacific and said con trol of the Central by the Union Pacific would not bring an increase in rates, as Southern Pacific offi cials had predicted. The change in ownership would give the farmers of the San Joaquin and Santa Clara valleys a direct route to the east, he said, and better service than they ever enjoyed before. Max Thelen, ex-president of the California railroad commission, in discussing the history of the South ern Pacific-Union Pacific unmerger ordered by the supreme court in 1913, said that a change in owner ship of the Central Pacific would cause the Southern Pacific to lose all its deciduous fruit tonnage and considerable of its dried fruit bus iness. Appeal Based on Two Ground. W. F. Herrin said the Southern Pacific appeal to the supreme court tor a rehearing would be based on two grounds, that the two lines which the court ordered unmerged had been a unit in ownership and operation ever since 1885 and that the government practically had rec ognized them as one concern by ac cepting tne southern Pacific's guar antee or Central Pacific bonds when the latter road liquidated its debt to the government in 189s. Both he and Guy V. ShouD. an other Southern Pacific attorney, said it was Impossible to consider the two roads in any other light than as a unit. "They are like a man with two arms, but only one heart and cir culation system," said Herrin. "You can destroy the Southern and Cen tral Pacific, but you canont sepa rate them." NEW STATEMENT IS ISSUED President Sproule Says Public Has Nothing to Gain. . .That the public has nothing to gain through the decision of the United States supreme court which recently ruled that the Southern and Central Pacific railroad system should be separated, is the belief of William Sproule, president of the Southern .Pacific, who is in Port lani. In a statement Issued yesterday Mr. Sproule characterized the sug gestion that the- Central Pacific must be torn from the Southern Pa cific in order to comply with the Pa cific railroads', act as ."without mer it." His statement was brought out DAISY CHAIN PROCESSION AT through the recent expression on the part of Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific, to have his com pany purchase that part of the Cen tral Pacific between Ogden and San Francisco. Mr. Sproule's statement follows: "The Pacific railroad acts are re ferred to by Mr. Gray in his recent statement as to the attitude of the Union Pacific on the supreme court decision in the Southern Pacific Central Pacific case, and in which he expressed the desire of the Union Pacific to acquire the Central Pa cific That desire is advanced with the suggestion that since the Union Pacific and Central Pacific were constructed under the Pacific rail road acts, those acts require a con tinuous line. "The fact is congress contem plated that the through line might be operated in separate ownership by two companies, for congress by the act of May 6, 1870,, fixed the common terminus and point of junc tion of Union Pacific with the Cen tral Pacific at a point near the sta tion at Ogden within the limits of nine sections of land described In the act, and authorized the two com panies to enter upon and possess these lands in equal shares. "The Pacific railroad acts require simply that the line from Omaha to Ogden and from Ogden to San Fran cisco be operated as a physically connected line, not in the sense of ownership, but as a matter of not breakln& 'th line by putting od stacles in -tne way which would pre- vent unobstructed movement." SPROTTLE PLEADS FOR HELP People Urged to Align Selves on Railroads' Side. W. E. Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific, appeared yesterday before the special ratlroad commit tee of the Portland Chamber of Com merce and gave his opinion regard ing the recent decision of the su preme court which separated his company and the Central Pacific. He appealed to the citizens ot Port land and of Oregon to align them selves on the side ofthe railroads affected. The committee which is composed of H. B. Van Duzer, Nathan Strauss, L. Allen Lewis, Emery Olmst-ead, Ira P. Powers, F. A. Nitchy and George Lawrence Jr., has held hear- ngs with other officials of tne Southern and Union Pacific railroads and has been making an effort to gather all possible information on the subject which was brought -to ight by the supreme courts de cision. The committee is endeavor- ng. for the benefit of the state, to determine in its own mind what is the best course of action. No decision has been made and no strong opinions have been voiced. The members of the committee are content to remain neutral on the subject until such a time as they have heard all available arguments from both or all sides. Masons to lay Cornerstone. CENTRAL!

C. June 20. The soldiers' bonus bill was made today, by a vote of 52 to 8, the spe cial order of business of the senate immediately after the final vote on the tariff bill unless it is disposed of before that time. ' Adoption of a motion to this ef fect came after an all-day fight at the outset of whleh an effort to get the bonus before the senate failed. Several senators gave formal notice that they would continue to press for action on the bonus ahead of th tariff. A moye to upse.t the programme of the republican majority calling for action first on the tariff was launched by Senator Walsh, demo orat, Massachusetts, who made a formal motion that the tariff bill be displaced by the bonus measure. Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, moved to lay this motion on the table and his motion prevailed, 51 to 22. Democrats Back Watson. Eight democrats supported the Watson motion and two republicans voted against It The roll call fol lows : For the motion: Republicans Borah, Bursum. Calder, Cameron, Capper, Cummins, Curtis.

Total against, 22. , Row Beslns In Earnest. ' With the announcement of the result of this vote the bonus row began in earnest andi waged for five hours. In the midst of it Senator Watson of Indiana offered a motion that the bonus be made a special order of business immediately after the final vote on the tariff and that thereafter it be held continuously before the senate unless two-thirds of the senate voted to displace it. Senator Underwood of Alabama, democratic leader and ami oppoJient of the bonus, made a point of order aga,mst the two-thirds vote provi sion, pointing out that this was ii the nature of am amendment to the senate rules. The point of order was siueta.tnad and that provision was withdrawn. A question then arose as to whether the motion, if adopted in the modified form would preclude a motion to take up the bonus before the tariff bill was disposed of and after a long discussion the motion was further modified at the sugges tion of Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, so that a motion to pro ceed to the consideration of the bonus would be in order at any time. Som opponents of the bonus supported this motion, but eight of them cast their votes against it. They were Dial, King and Willaams, democrats, and Edge, France, Pep per and Wadsworth, republican. Several Senators Absent. Several opponents were absent when the vote was taken late in the day. Charges flew thick and fast durinig the debate. They included assertions that the delay in acting on the bonus was for the purpose ot kUlaag U; that those who miade millions out of the war were behind an organized amd extensive propa ganda to defeat the measure and that the republipan majority were ;pdanntn,g to use the bonus as a chib over the heads of opponents of the tariff measure to shorten deba'te on that bill. In offering his motion to displace the tariff bill, Senator Walsh de clares this was the third time there had been an effort to postpone ac tion and "by that means kill this bill." He added that proponents of the legislation proposed to put the senate on record- on the question. Senator Watson, of Indiana cut off further discussion by his motion to lay the Walsh motion on the table, but ' after the rollcall the storm broke in earnest. Senator Robin son, democrat, Arkansas, charged in the course of a long address that the object of today's proceedings was to prevent passage of the bonus -at this NAME ; .
