ANOTHER TEST IS FACED
Government Directed to Show
Why Similar Action Should
Not Apply to British Lines.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. (By the
Associated Press.) On the eve of
the date set for enforcement of the
federal prohibition ruling prohibit
ing: passenger vessels, both Amer
ican and foreign, from bringing
liquor under seal into American
ports, enforcement authorities today
were faced with two impprtant test
cases. One was a temporary re
straining order, granted today y
Federal Judge Hand, enjoining local
' enforcement authorities from mo
lesting liquor on board the Amer
ican steamers Finland and St. Paul.
The other was an order directing
the government agents to show
cause why an injunction should not
be issued restraining them from
interference with ships of the British-owned
Cunard and Anchor lines.
This wag issued by Judge Hand last
night.
Injunction bulled an Victory.
The injunction granted today was
hailed as an important victory for
the steamship tympanies, who ciaim
they would lose millions by the en
forcement of the Daugherty prohi
bition decision. It was Issued upon
application of the International
Mercantile Marine corporation.
which controls the American line
operating the Finland and St. Paul.
Judge Hand lat night had signed
an order directing the authorities
to show cause why they should not
be enjoined from acting against the
24 lines in the trans-Atlantic fleet
of the British-owned Cunard Steam
ship company and the Anchor line.
Franklin B. Lord, of counsel for
the British companies, said today
that his firm would await the re
sult of the hearing on the order next
Tuesday before considering the ad
visability of conferring with the
attorney-general in Washington re
garding a test case.
Fair Teat Is Wanted.
The complaint in the American
line case named as defendants H. C.
Stuart, acting collector of the port
of New York; Ralph A. Day, state
prohibition director; and John D.
Appleby, chief zone prohibition of
ficer. The Cunard case named
Stuart, Day and Andrew W. Mellon,
secretary of the treasury.
- Cleetus Keating, of counsel for
tiie International Mercantile Marine,
declared that all that his company
wanted was a fair test of the law
and that his company would ob
serve the law as soon as it was
authoritatively determined.
The Cunard complaint pointed out
that the carrying into effect of the
Daugherty opinion would cause the
steamship companies great pecun
iary loss, by reason of difficulty In
obtaining crews and by the diver
sion of passenger business to Can
adian ports.
It further stated that ltt would
be Impossible to comply with for

YOU FOUGHT FOR GOLD,
CRIES LUDENDORFF.
Ferdinand Tuohy, Euro
pean correspondent for the
New York World, has inter
viewed Ludendorff, erstwhile
Capab'anca of mighty Ger
man legions and beaten brain
of the late war. The inter
view, one of the most remark
able of post-war documents,
will be published next Sun
day in The Oregonian.
Ludendorff warns America
that a day of reckoning-will
come. "You entered the war
from the worst motives in
history," he declaims. Luden
dorff declares that the Brit-
ish empire will be the next to '
go, and that it will not re
cover as Germany is doing.
He scathes all . Americans.
and the German Americans
he declares to be the worst ,
of the lot. t
It is a remarkable outpour-
ing of the wrath of a man 4
once great but now crushed.
It gives a vivid picture of his J
mental processes.
This remarkable feature J
will be published exclusively J
in The Sunday Oregonian

One Man, Attracted by Crash, At
tempts to Take Number of
Car,' but Fails. .
A woman apparently about 60 years
old, unidentified at a late hour last
night,' was found at Sixteenth and
Morrison streets with her skull split
wide open and scarcely alive, a few
minutes after she had been either
struck by or thrown from an auto
mobile that dashed from the vicin
ity. No one saw the accident, al
though two persons heard the noise
of it half a block away and pur
sued the car.
The automobile was a small run
about, traveling north on Sixteenth
street. If it struck the woman she
was crossing Sixteenth street on
the north side of Morrison street.
Neither of the witnesses saw the
accident or the woman before they
fouVid her lying on the street.
IX M. Rodamor, 262 Twelfth street,
one of the two men, tried to get
the number of the car. H. B. Thomas,
667 Hood street, was the other
witness and he ran to the aid of
the woman.
When the doctor from the emer
gency hospital arrived the woman
was still breathing faintly and there
was some slight chance of life. She
was sent to St. Vincent's hospital
and rushed to the operating room.
A thorough search was ordered
last night for the driver of an auto
mobile which knocked down' and in-
j jured Charles Eytchison, 18 years
old, 596 Bybee street, a Western
Union messenger boy, at Broadway
and Davis street. The accident oc
curred at 7 o'clock.
Eytchison was taken to ,the emer
gency hospital. His right ear was
nearly torn off and he suffered a
number of contusions and lacera
tions, but no seriou-s injuries. ,

Personal Representative of Owner
of Playhouse Circuit Knows
Nothing of Any Shortage.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 12. Shoot
ing of E. Clarke Walker, for IS
years manager of the Pantages
theater of this city, in his office
in the theater shortly before the
beginning of the afternoon per
formance today, had led tonight to
a diversity of statements by of
ficers and business associates that
united in hardly any one particular.
A theory of murdtr, scouted by
officers of the police and coroner's
staffs, was advanced by friends and
business associates. The officers
united in declaring the death a
plain case o suicide. Dr. A. C.
Baker, deputy . coroner, said no in
Quest would be held, so evident was
the cause of death.
Reasons fo a suicide if such the
case proved to be were as widely
divergent. Chester , Edwards and
Frank Keenan, city detectives who
began an investigation, declared
that Walker had been discharged
from his position as manager only
a short time before the shooting,
and following an investigation into
the affairs of the theater. Louis
B. Christ,, personal representative
of Alexander Pantages, owner of
the theater, to whom the officers
ascribed .their information, denied
that any. investigation had been
made or that Mr. Walker had been
discharged. The police, however,
persisted in their statement that
Christ had so informed therm
According to the account of the
shooting given by Mr. Christ to the ,
police, he returned to the theater
from lunch and entered Mr. Walk
er's office and found him crumpled
up on the floor. He shut the, door,
he said, and telephoned the police
station. When the police arrived
they found Mr. Walker's body lying
on the floor before his desk, with
a revolver in his hand.
Mr. Walker is survived by his
widow and a 14-year-old son.
Business Declared Poor.
'.'The theater has, been doing very
poor business this summer," as
shown in Mr. Walker's reports, Mr.
Christ told a newspaper representa
tive two weeks ago.
"Reports to Alexander Pantages
in the past few weeks have shown a
gradual increase, however."

Bones of Saber-Toothed Cats
and Pigmy Camels Are
Found in Dakota.
By Chicago Tribune Lk Wire
PRINCETON. N. J.. Oct. 12. The
skulls of a Riant titanothere, several
sabre-toothed cats and some three
toed horses are among the additions
to the already great collection of
fossils in Guyot hall at Princeton
university. These fossils of long
extinct beasts were found this sum
mer by Professor William J. Sin
claire. curator of vertebrae paleon
tology at Princeton, who today re
turned from a research expedition
to .the big Bad Lands of South Da
kota. Professor Sinclaire spent
three months In the bad lands with

of. Dublin university. Instructor at
the Royal School of Mines. London.
The geologists left Princeton on
June 19 and while in South Dakota
camped In the open, carrying on
their research despite many hard
ships. It was the second trip to the
bad lands for Professor Sinclaire
and the third for Waniess.
Although the specimens collected
this year are not so numerous as
those gathered on previous expedi
tions, many of them are of marked
interest and very valuable. Several
well preserved fossil dogs, the ex
tinct representatives of the present
day dog type were found. In addition
to the saber-toothed cat skulls, the
three-toed horse' and titanothere
skull. Several more specimens also
were added to the large collection
of enterodants, or giant pigs, the
skulls of some of them showing
wounds suffered by the animals
while fighting, thousands of years
ago. '
The titanothere which was found
8 an immense beast of rhinoceros
ike appearance, and is In a fine de
gree of preservation. some small
pigmy camels were also found. All
the animals were covered with a
thick layer of clay.

Pierce Backers Want to
Know Who's Boss.
WINBURN MAKING TROUBLE
New Yorker Issue? Incred
ible, Say Bourbons.
.
SHOWDOWN IS DESIRED
'
People Want to Know Just How
Mr. Pierce, If Elected, Will
Cut Down Taxes.
Who Is going to manage Walter
M. Pierce's campaign for governor
on the democratic ticket? And who
Id boss, snyhow? There Is a differ
ence of opinion among the demo
crats. iscord has burst out with a
big "D" and It apparently is traced
to the doors of Jesse Winburn, at
the Benson. Mr. Winburn. late of
New York and more recently
of Ashland, Or., is developing
Into a problem with the democrats.
He is ruffling the feelings of some
of the boys and he has been saying
things critical of the life-long
friends 'of Mr. Pierce and their ef
forts to plant him In Governor Ol
cott's chair at Salem.
Having donated $5000 to the
Pierce campaign. Mr. Winburn 1
said to want to be the whole works.
The boys received their first shock
when they discovered that the $5000
was not to be turned over, bin that
T. M. Crawford, president of the
Pierce-for-Governor club, was only
to handle (1000. The balance of the
money Mr. Winburn Intends dispos
ing of himself.
Winburn Imrl Hardly.
There was no objection when the
man from New yorjt informed the
Pierce people that he would move
into Portland and assume charge of
the publicity campaign. Someone
had to do it and Mr. Winburn, hav
ing made His money In streetcar ad
vertising, was considered qualified
for the task.
But and here's the rub Mr. Win-
burn's propensity to run things did
not end with his contribution, his
nonpartisan" dinner or his an
nouncement that he would do the
publicity.
He wants to take In more
territory more than the old-time
democratic friends of Pierce want
him to have. .
It was rumored yesterday that Mr.
Winburn is of the opinion that he Is
an issue In the campnign. When
Mr. Pierce says that taxation Is the
issue and many of Pierce's support
ers insist that the school bill Is the
Issue, it is not clear how Mr. Win
burn developed Into an Issue. And
that isn't all.
Awfnl Bolt la IlBTle.
The millionaire contributor doesn't
hesitate to Insinuate that the whole
democratic management Is incompe
tent. He Is said to have small use
for the political sagacity of Dr. C.
J. Smith, democratic state chairman,
and even less for that veteran demo
cratic warhorse. Judge Crawford,
the personal manager for Pierce.
What Mr. Winburn would like,
according to reports. Is to have Mr.
Pierce get down to brass tacks and
tell the people what his pro
gramme for tax reduction Is If he
has any. Mr. Winburn was won
over to Pierce by a speech of the
latter In which he promised to re
duce taxes. The speech sounded
good and the $5000 contribution
came later, but since then Mr. Win
burn has been patiently waiting for
the democratic candidate to be spe
cific. Mr. Winburn has been wait
ing even more patiently than tax
payers who are familiar with the
Pierce legislative record of tax
extravagance.
8kowdira Is Deelred.
Gossip has It that Mr. Winburn
says he has sent for Pierce to re
turn to Portland Sunday for a con
ference and a showdown, said show
down to consist of tying the can to
Judge Crawford and George L
Smith of Pierce headquarters, and
cut loose from State Chairman
Smith and issue a clean-cut state
ment as to how. If elected governor.
Pierce Intends reducing taxes 60
per cent. And gossip also says that
Judge Crawford has also sent word
to Pierce to be In Portland Sunday
for a conference so that a lot ff
things can be ironed out which need
ironing. Before the ironing pro
cess, however, the rumors say there
will be considerable washing of
soiled linen in the conference.
And all these developments have
been - breaking since Mr. Pierce
headed for central Oregon to lament
over the taxes and announce that
"something must be done." That's
also what Jesse Winburn says
something must be done and
pronto.

As the next regular session Is th
short ons, the president said he
hoped that congress would be able
ti get all business out of the way
by March 4. when the present con
gress expires by constitutional lim
itation, so that no special session
would be necessary next summer.
Senators and members, he said, are,
In his opinion, entitled to a season
of relaxation next year, and the
ccuntry is entitled to a rest from
legislation.
Senator McNary's visit was pre
limlnary to Ms departure next Sun
day for Oregon, where he Is to enter
the campaign In the Interest of the
election of the republican state and

the emergence of the country safely
from the railroad and coal strikes

cheerful disposition to return. He
conversed for soms time with Cus
ter E. Ross, a Sllverton. Or Iswyer,
