Con vinced that the railroad strike would le a matter of history within 24 hours after acceptance by railway shopmen and transportation chiefs of President Harding's compromise l.!an, all of the government's influ ence was mustered tonight behind the effort to obtain adoption by the .mployers' meeting In New York and that of the. employes in Chi G&&0 tomorrow. Chairman Hooper, of the railroad labor board, after a conference with President Harding today, left for Chicago to be on hand when the meeting is called of. the general pol icy committee of the striking shop traft unions. Secretary Hoover left tonight to attend the New York meeting of the executives. There was little doubt in admin istration circles concerning accept ance by the union leaders of the proposed compromise settlement. Several railroad executives, how-! ever, are known to hold strong ob ;ection because of their belief that :t would entail abandonment of loyal uorkmen who have stuck through the strike, as well as new employes -.vho ignored strong Inducement not to accept employment during the mergency. Personal friends and senatorial iavlsers of the president were strong in their conviction that this opposition would be more than off set by those executives who would accept the compromise, either as a fair basis Tor settling the contro versy or because of their conviction that acceptance was required as a patriotic step.

From the winners of these 13 girls were picked to go to Europe. The judges are positive that the 13 are the best in the nation. Much trouble was experienced in stimulating sufficient public enthu siasm to get the money to send the team abroad, with the result that nearly all the girls are paying their own expenses. One had to borrow the funds with the promise of re payment when she leaves school. Definite assignment of the girl athletes has not yet been made by Dr. Harry Stewart of New Haven.

Advance on Constanti nople to Be Opposed. -MESSAGE IS UNEQUIVOCAL Leaders Expected to Sae British Mean Business.- England Said to Have I sod Coun try as .Men In Diplomatic Game Anions Allies. BY HENRY WALES. (Chicago Tribune Forelirn News Service. Copyrislit. 1022, by the Chicago Tribune.) LONDON, July 31. Downing street today instructed the British lega lion in Athens to warn the Greek government that the British regard with utmost gravity anything like an advance by the Greek army to- ward Constantinople. A point-blank I warning has been given to King Constantine that the British forces in Constantinople troops included in the allied garrison and naval forces as well have been instructed to prevent any such advance. The stern, unequivocal character of the statement to the Athens gov ernment is expected to make Greek political and . military leaders real ize that England means business and Intended to co-operate with the French and Italians in repulsing any encroachment of the Greek troops beyond the Chataldja line. For a long time the Greeks had mistaken N Prime Minister Lloyd George's employment of them as pawns in a diplomatic chess game among the allies, the Balkan states and the Turks, as an indication that the British really loved them for themselves, and they believed that Downing street would support their ambitions and ideals. Greeks Merrly Cat'i-Paw. It has been pointed out here in diplomatic circles that the Greeks were merely used as a cat's-paw from the time M. Vcnlzelos gave proof to the Athens government that it never would be able to ob tain the loan from Great Britain which was expected. It is no secret that with parlia ment and the press crying out against the army and navy expendi tures and wastes, the taxpayers' money maintaining forces in Con stantinople. Mr. Lloyd George would have liked to plant subservient Greece on the Golden Horn and hold back until danger threatened, when a couple of British battleships could steam tip the Dardanelles, as the German Goeben and Breslau did in 1914. and seize Constantinople. But with the ticklish reparations and debts questions coming up, the British realize the need to placate France to obtain necessary conces sions for a revision.

The High Brown Five orchestra lived up to its promise last night and "laid down" a programme of jazz music that fairly lifted the roof off the air. The only regrettable part about the entire concert was that the thousands of radio listeners who heard it could not see the orchestra, play, for ,the five members went through all the antics which negro orchestras are noted for when they start syncopating and harmonizing. Drumsticks flew- in the air. the fiddler danced, the saxophone strut ted, the piano player did everything but walk on the keys, and over and above all the hilarity that went with the music there was such banjo playing as has not been heard for many a day. Radio operators from all over Portland and many sur rounding towns telephoned calls of appreciation and requests for extra numbers as fast as the telephone could be answered. The numbers which won the greatest applause were the solos sung by Miss Octavja Doran, negro soprano, who sung five times with orchestra accompaniment and brought the "house" dow-n every time.' Miss Doran averred that no orchestra could drown out her voice and she was right. With the or chestra music for a background, the banjo close beside, her voice "went out so clearly that almost every word could be understood. "The Sheik" had to be sung twice to satis fy a number of listeners and the other selections which she sang were "Doo Dah Blues," "I Wish I Knew." "Nobody Lied," and "Arkan sas Blues." Another feature of the concert was a piano solo., played ' by A. Thompson, quite the most active piano player ever seen in The Ore gonian tower. It was "Four O'clock Blues," an anrangement of his own. The High Brown Five orchestra specializes . in .jazz music and has been in. Portland but a short time. It originated in Chicago and the boys have been playing in various cities over the west. It consists of Sam Ketchul, director and drum player; A. Thompson, piano; D. Oli ver, saxophone; F. Junior,' banjo. and D. Smith, trombone. Straight orchestra numbers played were. Lonesome Mama Blues, Kicky Koo," "I've Got My Habits On," "School House Blues," "Don't Bring Me Posies," "She's a Mean Job." "Sneak," and "Home Again Blues." A nunvber of requests were received immediately aftr the con cert that the orchestra be obtained for another concert in. the near fu ture, and a return engagement will probably be played within a few weeks. The concert was broadcast by The Oregonian in conjunction, with the Shipowners' Radio service. The next regular concert will be given to morrow night between 8 and 10 o'clock, and in it will be presented several of the most prominent mu sicians in Portland. Wheat Huns -10 Bushels.

Operations, of highway men in the Cow creek fcanyon have been reported to . the Josephine county sheriff. A couple came into the city yesterday after having been held ' up and relieved of all their valuables with the exception of one small, watch which the robbers overlooked. ... Mr. and Mrs. A. Dolbro. tourists, who were on their way from Port land to Redding, Cal., were the latest victims. According to Mrs. Dolbro, they were accosted by the four outlaws and told to throw up their hands. After they had stopped they were covered with a sheet and trie highwaymen drove the car from a point 10 miles north of Glendale to a point near Wolf creek, where they were taken to a secluded side road and robbed. After robbing them the outlaws cut the wires in the car so they would not be able to get away to give the alarm. Nothing of value was left, the thieves taking a $60 watch, all the clothes that Mr. and Mrs. Dolbro did not have on, a diamond ring and what cash they carried. They over looked a small gold watch tarried by Mrs. Dolbro, which she put up here as security for enough money to take them to their home at Red ding. . Another car was robbed and sent north. The occupants of this car are not known here. There were re ports that several other cars were held up, but these . have not been verified. The local officers are working on the case and believe that they have sufficient clews to lead to the ar rest of the four men. v WHALER GETS BIG SHARK Giant Blue-Nose Is First Ever Caught Off Grays' Harbor.

SACK IS PUT OYER HEAD Masked, Robed Men Swing Rope, Says Witness. SHOTS HASTEN FLIGHT Three Lifts Into Air Are Raiders' Reply to Bootblack's Dec laration of Truth. MEDFORD, Or.. July 31. (Spe cial.) Arthur Burr, negro porter and bootblack, spent four hours before the grand jury today tell ing the story . of his experience last March when he was taken by night riders and. hanged three times to a tree in the Siskiyou mountains. Speaking to intimate friends out Bide of the grand -jury room. Burr has given a part of his story. He tells how he was released by Bert Moses, then county jailer, from the county . jail in Jacksonville four hours after the hour when prisoners were usually released. When he left the jail Moses informed him, according to the story, that an auto mobile would give him a lift to Medford. Burr, unsuspecting and anxious to get back to his Medford friends, hopped into the rear seat of the automobile. The persons in the car. two men, both said to be klansmen, said nothing to him during the ride, but whispered to themselves. Burr Is Transferred. At this time Burr paid no parr ticular attention, having settled down to enjoy the air that he had missed during the StT-day confine ment in the Jacksonville jail for Intoxication. Before reaching Medford, accord ing to the story, the car in which Burr was a passenger turned off on a side road. Shortly thereafter another car swung past and came to a stop in front of this one. "What are you carrying a nigger around" for?" one voice spoke out, according to Burr. Then the next instant Burr was dragged from one car, and, accom panied by two men, transferred into another of a group of cars that car ried some 15 or 20 masked and robed men. Nea-ro Is Handcuffed. The car in which Burr came from Jacksonville followed the caravan, it is said, with the same men in it that took him from the jailer's hands an hour before. After proceeding for a mile or so one of the men threw a gunny sack over Burr's head and handcuffed him with his hands back of him. When later he moved to relieve the tension on his wrists, a gun was poked into Burr's ribs and he was admonished to sit still and keep still. . After traveling for about an hour and a half, it is said, Burr was taken from the car and a rope ad justed around his neck. Then he was asked where he pro cured the moonshine that he had been drinking. He answered this question but the answer failed to please his tormentors, it seems, for the rope -was pulled and up went Burr, his feet dangling in the air. Denial Brlna-a Torment. Then fie was let down and asked if he- had not been annoying white girls in Medford. He denied this and his denial served to send him once again into the air. When he came down the second time he was again asked about the white girls, and when he declared that he was telling the truth and that he had not molested any white girls, he was again drawn into the air. After this had been done he was told to leave Medford and never re turn. He started, according to his story, and his flight was hastened by resounding pistol shots nurrtber ing between 10 and 15.

Testimony fastening responsibil ity of the Hale hanging last March directly upon members of the Med ford realm of the Ku Klux Klan was given to the grand jury, ac cording to reliable information. The testimony, it Is said, was given by a klansman who, it is be lieved, was a member of the trial court which tried Hale. Arthur Burr and Hank Johnson, all of whom were hanged by night riders in this county. Two kleagles of the klan in charge of the southern Oregon dis trict, according to this man's story as it is believed to have been given to the grand jury today, warned members of the klan tq keep silent concerning the Hale case, for the reason that Hale had not kept promises made when he -was released on. the night of the hanging.

The songstress not only refused to cancel the passage on ttwe Tenyo Maru with Franchetti, bat refused to permit her husband to accom pany her to America. A family council of the Miuri clan held for the last several days in Tokio arrived at a compromise on the basis of the fact that artists are not judgeable by an ordinary husband's standards and that Pla tonic affairs are to be expected.

WOMEN TO TAKE PART Primary Is First One in Which Feminine Votes Will 'Be Cast; Reed Long in Limelight. SEVERAL STATES TO HOLD ELECTIONS TODAY. Missouri to nominate United States senator, representa tives and state, county and city officials. Oklahoma has three-cornered gubernatorial race. West Virginia to nominate candidates Mrs. Izetta Jew ell Brown in democratic race. Kansas primary, involving many . issues, proves real enigma. 4 ST. LOUIS, July 31. (By the As sociated Press.) Missouri tomor row, in the first primary partici pated in by women in the history of the state, will select her candidates for United States senator, repre sentatives in congress and a host of state, county and city offices. Four political parties republican, democratic, socialist and social-labor have tickets in the field. Polling places in the 38,488 pre cincts will open at 6 A. M. and close) at 7 P. M. -central standard time and indications are that both the voting a"nd counting will set a rec ord for slowness. Strip Ballots to Be Used. Voting will be on strip ballots, under rules requesting the voter to draw a line through the name of every candidate not voted for, in stead of putting a cross before the name of his choice. The republican ballot in St. Louis city alone is six feet long and carries the names of 210 primary candidates besides S3 committeemen. It took a newspa per reporter, who knew just whom he wanted to vote for, seven min utes to cross out the other names. The democratic ballot in St. Louie carries the names of 105 primary candidates and 54 committeemen. Interest in the primary has been overshadowed by the bitter cam paign between Senator James A. Reed and Breckenridge Long, third assistant secretary of state under President Wilson. f6r the democratic senatorial nomination. There is a third candidate in the race, Robert L Young, St. Joseph, but he has not made an active campaign. The league of nations, the war, prohibition, home rule, party regu larity and nearly every other sub ject of possible political difference has been invoked in the Long-Reed fight. Reed, grizzly veteran of many campaigns, whose boast it is he has never lost, has been the center of the storm. "Rid us of Reed clubs" and "Win with Reed" clubs have sprung up all over the state and " other issues have almost been lost sight of. President Wilson broke his silence to send ietters into the state de nouncing Reed as a "marplot." The democrats who read their senior senator out of the party in 1920. have revived old hatreds; the anti saloon league has branded him a wet and :e supporting Long; wom en's organizations have campaigned against him because they said he was against suffrage and the mater-' nity bill; party leaders have charged him with irregularity because ha supported a La Follette progressiva candidate in the 1920 senatorial racs in Wisconsin; and his stand on the war, league of nations and President Wilson's policies have been raised against him. Flffbt on Wilson Denied. Reed denied that he ever fought against President Wilson, declared he was a real democrat Supporting the people's interests; disposed of the ex-president's letters with a warning against outside dictation; dismissed the prohibition question with a reference to Mr. Long's al leged well-stocked cellar, and ' de clared he backed the La Folletts candidate in an effort to beat Sena tor Lenroot. whom he brands a reac tionary, only after it was seen the democratic candidate courd not win. "I never strayed from the path, but have been the real democrat all along," he has told his audiences. "A rubber stamp senator is not a representative of the people." ' While many, organizations of women are fighting. the senator be cause of his suffrage stand, others are as actively supporting him. Mrs. . Champ Clark, widow of the former speaker of the house, and her son are among those who have endorsed Reed. On the republican ballot there ara (.Concluded on Page 2, Column 3.A 1 lETl 104.2 1
