parently halted, attention was
directed to the efforts of in

Eastern executives, meeting
in New York, issued a state

CHICAGO, July 20. (By the As
sociated press.) With all . peace
negotiations in the country-wide
strike of railway shopmen appar
ently at a standstill today, atten
tion was directed tonight to the
possibility of government interven
tion and the action of individual
railroads in seeking separate set
tlements with their men.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad
posted notices today that since the
Chicago conciliation efforts had
failed, it was "now ready to confer
with its men" in an effort to settle
the differences, and expressed con
fidence that an agreement could be
reached. Roads of the northwest
were reported to have been nego
tiating for a settlement in that sec
tion for the past ten days, and a
southern railway was said today to
be pursuing a similar course.
National Bails Demanded.
B. M. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts, in past statements has main
tained that any settlement must be
on a national basis, although he has
encouraged his general chairmen to
confer with the carriers when the
roads requested such conference. At
strike headquarters4' tonight it was
said that Mr. Jewell might have a
statement tomorrow.
Eastern executives meeting ia New'
York today issued a statement re
iterating their, contention that the
strike is aimed at the government
and not at the railroads.
No indications of new peace over
tures from any source were to be
seen here today. Rail executives, la
bor board members and union offi
cials were silent.
Clerks Go On Strike.
Clerks on the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad went on strike and strike
ballots were ordered sent to clerks
and freight handlers on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road. A group
of new shop employes at the south
Chicago shops of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad also quit work and it
was announced that clerks on the
Chicago & Northwestern road were
awaiting the result of conferences
between. George A. Worrell, of the
clerks' organization, and Frank
Walters, general manager of the
road.
The unions presented a com
' promise proposition after the clerks
had voted to strike and the road of
ficials promised an answer tomor
row. If the answer is unfavorable,
union leaders said the 7300 members
of the union on the road would quit
work as soon as strike sanction had
been given.
Many Trains Are Annulled.
Many trains were added today to
the list of those annulled by vari

and shopmen's strike. Four local
passenger trains of the Chicago &

Aviator Who Carried Diadem to
Spanish Consulate for Safety .
Summoned to Paris.
NEW YORK. July 20. The dia
mond and ruby-studded crown of
the Hapsburgs, former rulers of
Austria-Hungary, has been stolen
from the Spanish consulate in
A'ienna, where it was placed for
safe keeping after the revolution
began, it became known today.
Count de Korwin Sokolowski, Aus
trian aviator, who carried the dia
dem from a convention to the con
sulate during the first Says of the
revolution, has been summoned to
Paris. He sailed last Saturday on
La Savoie to join in a hunt for the
jewels in Vienna, Barcelona, Paris
and possibly Moscow.
Baron Radowitz, a German noble
man, who spent several days last
May with the former German kaiser
in Doom and is a close friend of
Sokolowski, today admitted the
crown had been stolen.
Sokolowski was a noted Austrian
flier during the war. When the
Hapsburg house, to which he is re
lated, fell he took several members
of the royal family out of Vienna
by airplane. The archduchess Blanca
of Austria, a princess of Bourbon,
now living in Paris incognito, then
told the count that the imperial
crown was hidden in a convenUnear
Vienna and delegated him to get it
safely away.
The count visited the convent.
claimed the crown and flew with it
to the consulate. There he obtained
a receipt in the name of a friend,
fearing efforts of revolutionists to
locate the diadem. The receipt was
sent to the friend with careful in
structions not to claim the crown
until he had received orders, and
Sokolowski went to London.
Two months ago German and Aus
trian royalists were .notified by
underground that the receipt had
been presented to the consulate and
the crown removed. But the receipt
was not presented by Sokolowski's
friend, and he has no recollection
of Its disappearance. It is believed
it was either lost or stolen in Paris.
According to Baron Radowitz the
crown is not of great intrjnsic value,
but historically it is priceless.
Archduchess Blanca decided to make
public news of the theft so that
collectors would be warned against
purchasing it.
MISSING AVIATOR FOUND
Charles Prest Descends In Herd
of Caribou In Yukon.
DAWSON CITY, T. T., July 20.
Charles O. Prest, Nevada aviator,
en route from Buffalo, N. Y., to
Nome, Alaska, and Siberia, and who
was feared lost in the wilderness
between here and Fairbanks, is
alive and well at Nigger Head flat,
on Seventy-Mile river, 75 miles from
Dawson, according to word received
here today. He was forced to land
there Sunday on account of engine
trouble.
Prest's airplane descended in the
midst of a herd of caribou. The
aviator killed one of the animals,
thus supplying himself with food.
He was found today by a party
headed by Marshal Dudney on the
trail, 45 miles from Eagle, Alaska.
The plane was lying partially
wrecked where it landed, and, ac
cording to Prest, cannot be raised
from its present location. The avia
tor will proceed by steamer to Fair
banks.

(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 20. Geraldine
Farrar, opera singer, filed a suit
against her husband, Lou Tellegen,
actor, whom she is suing for divorce,
in the supreme court several months
ago, in which she demands the repay
ment of (9,600 alleged to have been
loaned to Tellegen during the four
years they lived together.
This fact did not become kiiown
until today, when Justice Donnelly

Farrar to compel her husband to
give particulars of the defenses in
his answer mailed to her attorneys
last month, that the money has all
been repaid and that he owes her
nothing. The paper also shows that
Max D. Steuer is now acting as at

"The Kansas' court of industrial
relations act prohibits a strike in
an essential industry. It pledges
the power of the state to the pro

cessation of any of these industries.
The act declares that any man who
wishes to work shall not be mo
lested in the exercise' of that right,
and it prohibits strikers from using
violence, intimidation, threats or
any form of persuasion in order to
deter those who wish to work in an
essential industry from so doing.
It declares that every form of pick
eting is a part of the conspiracy to
deprive the public of transporta
tion.
Picketing Is Attempted.
"When the shop crafts walked
out in Kansas their leaders tried
various forms of picketing, but
were deterred from putting any of
their picketing plans Into effect.

Immoral Character.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK. July 20. Cigarettes
and knickers for girls are not in
signia of depravity In the eyes of
law. So ruled Judge McLaughlin
in the Kings county court today in
reversing the conviction of Edna
Hobbs Heych, 18, of Brooklyn, f.
Miss Heych had been sentenced to
three years in the house of the
Good Shepherd by Magistrate Mc
Closky and today's decision was the
result of an appeal. She was ar
rested last February, in company
with Jeanette Sandler, 15, and Vin
cent Lawless, both of Brooklyn, in
a bungalow owned by the Heych
girl's father at Bergen beach. At
the time' both girls were attired in
knickerbockers and were smoking
cigarettes.
Judge McLaughlin ruled cigarettes
and knickerbockers are not evidence
of immoral character. Edward J.
Reilly, Miss Heych's attorney, said
he would bring suit against the chil
dren's society and the arresting of
ficer, alleging malicious prosecution.

Late Baltimore Sportsman Lav
ished Fortune Before Discover
ing Beneficiary Married.
BY HENRY WALES.
(Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service.
Copyright, 1922, by the Chicago Tribune.)
LONDON, July 20. How the late
Walter Winans, the Baltimore mil
lionaire race-horse owner and
sportsman, lavished a fortune -on an
18-year-old girl before he discovered
she was married was revealed today
when the administrator of Mr.
Winan's estate started a suit to re
cover $650,000 from Annie" Lillian
Lucy Lycett and her husband, the
Rev. Graham Lycett.
When Mr. Winans was 68 he met
Mr. and Mrs. Wainwrlght, the lat
ter aged 18. He became Infatuated
with her. Then in October, 1914, Mr.
Wainwrlght obtained a divorce,
charging his wife with misconduct
with an unidentified man.
Mr. Winans then settled $250,000
in consols, $80,000 in Russian bonds
and $30,000 in war loan bonds on the
woman, besides paying the costs of
her living expenses, and giving her
charge accounts in leading shops.
In April, 1920, Mr. Winans discov
ered that she was married to the
Rev. Mr. Lycett three weeks after
she was divorced from Mr. Wain-,
wright, and that she had lived with
nim since.
Mr. Winans' letters to Mrs. Waln
wright read as follows:
"Little Elf; Sorry you are wor
ried -about bills. I will send you
money as soon as I get it Don't
worry about sending me bills.. You
are my little elf girl and I must
keep your bills paid. You are not
one bit extravagant. You are a good
child."
The attorneys for both sides con
ferred privately following the read
ing of this letter, trying to arrange
a settlement of the case.

CIRCUIT COURT DECIDES
One Allegation Stricken
From Hall's Complaint.
TRIAL OPENS NEXT WEEK
Presentation of Plaintiff's Case
Is Expected to Take Four
Weeks, Says Mr. L"Ren.
SALEM. Or., July 20. (Special.)
Governor Olcott today won the first
round in the election contest pro
ceedings filed on behalf of Charles
Hall when Judges G. G. Bingham
and Percy Kelly, sitting en banc iu
the Marion county circuit court, al
lowed a motion prepared by Gover
nor Olcott's attorneys to strike from
Mr. Hall's complaint the allegat'on
that voters who had previously
registered have no legal right to
change their party affiliations
through reregistratlon at the po'Is
on primary election day. The court
d sallowed the motion as far as H
related to striking out other sec
tions of Mr. Hall's petition.
Judges Bingham and Kelly, in
passing on the motion, declared that
the election statutes expressly pro
vided for the rereglstration of vot
ers through the channel commonly
Known a blank B.
--Blank Are Provided.
These blanks, the judges said, are
a part of the election machinery,
and after being used in re-register
ing voters, are sent by the election
boards to the county clerks for
proper filing. As the election boards
function only on election days the'
court said it was apparent that -the
law contemplated the re-reglstra-tiqn
of voters on such days.
Judge Bingham made It plain that
the couri had not made any attempt
to pass on the wisdom of the pri
mary election law, but that it had
been interpreted as it had been
found. '
W. S. TJ'Ren, of counsel for the
contestant, in a subsequent address
before the court asked whether or
not the question of voters casting
their ballots on Blank A had been
passed upon. Judge Bingham re
plied that this question had not been
raised in thaf section of Mr. Hall's
complaint which had been ordered
stricken from the record.
Early Decision Sought.
Appeal then was made by Attor
ney U'Ren that the proceedings be
expedited in order that the expense
of the action may be curtailed to
the minimum, and that a definite
decision may be reached as quickly
as possible. . In this connection
Judge Kelly said many factors en
tered into the proceedings and ques
tioned the attorneys as to whether
they had at any time considered
making the county clerks and dis
trict attorneys of the counties In
which a recount of the votes is
sought parties to the proceedings.
Attorney TJ'Ren replied that the
suggestion apparently was sound,
and if adhered to might result in
expediting the case.
By stipulation of the attorneys 't
was agreed that an answer to the
complaint shall be' filed by next
Tuesday. The court then will set
the date of the trial, which prob
ably will start some time next week.
Attorney TJ'Ren said it would re
quire approximately four weeks for
the contestants to present their
case, while Roy Shields of counsel
for Governor Olcott declared a sim
ilar length of time would be re
quired for making a proper show
ing on the part of the contestee.
Statement Is Refused.
Attorney Shields refused to make
any statement with relation to the
contents of the answer that would
be filed by Governor Olcott. He de
clared that this probably would be
decided at a conference to be held
in Portland tomorrow or Saturday.
Jay Bowerman, attorney, who also
has been retained by Governor Ol
cott, will be In attendance at this
conference.
After full interpretation of the
court's decision on the motion to
strike, attorneys for Governor Ol
cott said there remained seven al
legations in Mr. Hall's petition. One
of these charges that more votes
were counted in the primary elec
tion than were cast. Another allega
tion is that a large number of votes
marked for Mr. Hall were rejected
by the election boards and not
counted for the defeated candidate.
The third allegation is that the
election boards allowed voters reg
istered in one precinct to cast their
ballot In - another precinct. It also
was charged by Mr. Hall that in sev
eral precincts the votes counted
were in excess of those cast.
Democratic Vote Charged.
Another allegation was to the ef
fect that a large number of demo
crats wrote Mr. Olcott's name on
the democratic ballot, but that they
were counted for Mr. Olcottln de
termining the republican returns.
Other allegations relate to non-resi-

Explorer's Vessel, Far From Des
tination, Believed to Lie
In Good Hope Bay.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 20. (By
the Associated Press.) Unfavorable
ice conditions in Bering sea have
delayed the arrival of Captain Roald
Amundsen's exploration ship Maud
at Point Barrow, Alaska, and de
layed the start of his projected air
plane flight across the North PoleN
to Spitsbergen or Grants Land, ac
cording to advices received here
from several sources today. Cap
tain Amundsen, when he left Nome,
Alaska, for Point Barrow last June
29, expected he would be able to be
gin his polar flight today. Wire
less position reports from the Maud,
received in this country as late as
July 18, fixed the ship's position in
latitude 66 degrees 6 minutes north
and longitude 162 degrees 42 minutes
east, or somewhere in the neighbor
hood of Good Hope bay, Kotzebue
sound. This is hundreds of miles
from Point Barrow and only a few
hundred miles from Nome. The fact
that the Maud reported the same
position July 15 led friends of the
explorer here to the belief that the
ship was lying to in the Good Hope
bay anchorage awaiting more favor
able conditions In Bering sea and
the Arctic ocean.
Nome advices were to the effect
that the breakup of ice in the north
ern waters- was later this season
than for : lany years in the past
and that heavy floe ice -was ham-
pering the movement of vessels
pering
north of Cape Prince of Wales.
No fear was felt here for the
safety of the Maud, as a wireless
message received by a friend of the
explorer several days ago reported
"all's well." The ship was especially
designed by Captain Amundsen for
work in the northern ice fields.

Portland In Complimented.
In their final business session the
bankers adopted a resolution In
which they complimented Portland
for the hospitality that had been
extended to them. They expressed
appreciation of the Columbia river
highway and other Oregon scenery
and signified a willingness to re

The delegates had an opportunity
In the afternoon to gain an Idea

Great Rraourcra Explained.
"Within the state of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho is to be found
38 per cent of the potential water
power of the country," said Mr.
Rands. "This is true in spite of the
fact that these states comprise but
8 per cent of the land surface of the
United States. The water power in
these three states is approximately
14,000,000 horse power."
The speaker called attention to
the tremendous amount of money
that was being expended each year
for the development of electric
power.
"As custodians of many billions of
dollars you will from time to time
be asked to invest funds committed
to your care in water-power securi

there are wildcat oil schemes, so will
there be wildcat power schemes.
