BUNG GO ED BEGUN SUDDEML r !. W. W. Thought to Be Behind Move. NO WAGE DEMAND MADE Some Longshoremen Refuse to Quit Work. WALKOUT SECOND ONE rolice Begin Protection of Men Who Decide to Stay on Job Despite Call. The second strike of longshore men this year, branded as an I. W. W. walkout, was launched last night along- the waterfront, but wag only partially successful. Men engaged on some vessels re fused to pay heed to the insistence of delegates to leave their employ ment. Employers said they were convinced sufficient men would re fuse to participate in the strike to Insure cargo being handled with ex perienced workers. Meeting Hastily Called. The move was characterized by the employers as organized under the guidance 0f the Marines Trans port Workers' Industrial Union No. BIO, I. W. W., and supported by a group of the members of Union 38-6, International Longshoremen's asso ciation. Reports to the waterfront employers were that there had been a hurriedly called meeting of the International Longshoremen's association in the afternoon, and decision to support the strike was reported. Police were sent to Terminal No. 1 and Terminal No. 4, reports from the former being tKat union men feared trouble from the I. W. W. element, but that no actual clashes had 'taken place. One gang employed aboard the oriental steamer Eastern Sailor, at the Inman-Poulsen mill, -held meeting in the hold and decided to walk asljore. On the motorship Babinda, working California cargo, some of the men left, including one gang of International Lpngshore mens' association members and some cX the non-union workers. Ha Demands Are Made. "No demands have been made as to wages or working conditions and no notice was given of the strike," said H. S. Eaton, manager of the Waterfront Employers' union, which conducts a neutral hall for the em ployment of longshoremen. The hall was established in July when a settlement was reached on the strike called and conducted by union No. 38-6, which is composed principally of men of long water front experience. The settlement was with the understanding union and nonunion men were to be hired at the neutral hall. Terminal Ne. 4 la Closed. It was said some of the strike delegates sought to induce men to leave the steamer Gothicstar, work ing cargo at terminal No. 4 for Europe, but the terminal was closed to all but men employed there, while a detail of police was assigned from the St. Johns station and guards were placed on duty to enforce the closing order. In a few instances members of crews of coastwise ships, credited with being members of the I. W. W., were said to have gone ashore. Em ployers asserted that that was part of the threatened programme, to tie up shipping here if possible. In formation given the police was to the effect that I. W. W. forces were being marshaled from other sec tions to support the move and Chief of Police Jenkins arranged to pro vide protection on all docks where vessels are engaged in working freight Activities Noted Some Time. Activities of the I. W. W. became apparent several weeks ago and a vote to strike was taken but it was erid its precipitation hinged on getting some support from the In ternational Longshoremen's associa tion. A strike vote taken by the latter last month resulted in 200 Ballots for such action against 215 votes not to go out. The mem bership of the International Long shoremen's association was said to number 635. Within the last week dissatisfac tion was expressed by some of the International Longshoremen's asso ciation, members with respect to working rules pertaining to the neutral hall. They were posted Oc tober 5 and provided that no mem bers of the I. W. W. would be em ployed and that all men not so affili ated must register, the time for en rolling ending at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Two of the union men hired by the employers as dispatch ers for union workers, F. E. Bucht mann and A. Barnes, who were members of the union at the time, have lost their memberships as a consequence of objections raised 'to them serving as dispatchers on the payroll of the employers. Buchtmann served as a member of a committee from the union that Disciples of Isaac Walton and AVearers of Furs Have Much at Stake in Case. WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 13. Disciples of Izaak Walton and wear ers of furs have much at stake In a case upon which argument was be gtfn in the supreme court today, as it afforded much amusement to the Justices. The proceeding Is. docketed as James S. McKee and others against Benjamin Gratz, and was brought to have reversed the decision of lower federal courts holding that the fresh water mussel, found In the Mississippi river and its tributaries and from whose shell "pearl" but tons are manufactured, when taken from non-navigable streams. Is the ptoperty of the owner of the land. Importance attaches to the case because it is expected to bring from t- court a decision which will de fine the liabilities not only of fish ermen and hunters but of these who purchase fish, birds or game killed by trespassers s v. ell as the pelts of animals trapped or killed by them. Button manufacturers in Iowa are prosecuting the appeal, they having purchased quantities of mussel shells taken from Little river, Missouri, from streams upon property con trolled by Gratz. During the litiga tion the mussel has been decided at various times to be a "migritory fish," and an "animal." Some courts have held it to be a "wild" animal ar.d f..e property of the owner of the eoil where taken. j In a brief presentation of the case, as the court was adjourning for the day, counsel for Gratz con tended that the mussel was a "do mestic" and not a "wild animal. He insisted, as the chief justice and several of the associate justices broke into open laughter, that the phlegmatic, sluggish shell fish some Imes living in one place for 25 5, could not legally or otherwise be considered "wild."

The gold is thought by geologists to be a heritage of the glacial age. when the huge creeping ice fields brought with them samples from the valuable sold deposits of the far north. Onr American Adventure, by Sir Arthur tonen Doyle. (Copyrirht by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1D32, for the United States and Great Britain.) Article 1. The low shores of New Jersey rise slowly on the port bow. We nave passed the Fire island signal boat, the outlying picket of America, and now the good old Baltic turns her broad prow toward the Sandy Hook point where the great salt highway leads to what will surely some day be the metropolis of the world. I sit alone on the hurricane deck and I think. At my age I am in a position where I have nothing either to fear or to hope for from any worldly source. I desire nothing further that the world can give me and I dread noth ing which it can either do to me or say of me. Therefore, my one desire Is to say exactly what I believe to be true, and there I have indeed a fear, for it would shock me greatly If ever I thought that others had been misled by me. But I examine care fully and I weigh my words, and If ever I have erred, that erring, for which I mourn, must surely count as a small thing compared with the amount of truth which I can vouch for from my own experience, con firmed by the testimony of many who are wiser and more learned than I. Therefore it is that I spend the Bpan of life which Is left to me in helping a cause which cannot fail since truth can never ulti mately fail to influence deeply the future of mankind. - Dangen Are Seen. And yet as I saw those white! houses on shore growing larger and the bay opening out before us I saw also the dangers that lay there and how formidable they were. They have a keen sense of humor, these Americans, and no subject can be more easily made humorous than this. They are intensely practical and this would appear to them vis ionary. They are immersed In world ly pursuits and this cuts right across the path of their lives. Above all they are swayed by the press, and if the press takes a flippant attitude I have no means of' getting behind it. These were the obvious difficulties. Well, one could only meet them with such fortitude as one might. And then next moment they were at close grips with me. A dozen rather unkempt, keen-faced, alert Bedroom Suite of Ixu Tellegen - Is Gone; Bargain Hunters Await Gorgeous Gowns. .. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Her real life romance abandoned for the di vorce courts and her countless opera romances forsaken for the concert stage, Geraidlne Farrar, the Amer ican diva, offered for sale today at auction the household furnishings of her married days and the gorgeous silk and tinsel of the stage. A crowd of about BOO that filled the Fifth-avenue auction rooms at tested public, curiosity in the star, but even their sentimental attach meat to her did not bring prices worthy of the "souvenirs" on sale, It was a. crowd of bargain hunt ers. Bidding was spirited, but low. Perhaps this was due to the fact that few of Miss Farrar's intimate possessions were on sale today. The countless gorgeous gowns she has worn In "Madame Butterfly," "Car men," "La Tosca," "Madame Sans Gene," "Faust," and other operas will not go on the block until Monday. Today's sale featured rather the other member of the blighted ro mance, Lou Tellegen, matinee idol of thousands, but no longer of Geral- dine. His bedroom suite, a Preten tious affair in the period of Louis XV, the golden canopy that draped it are gone sold to the highest bid der. Even the good old rubber door mat that stood at the entrance of 20 West Seventy-fourth street when It was a "love nest" went under the hammer and will have to get ac quainted with new feet tomorrow. .

Magnate Announces Intent Shut Down Plant at loo kers to Force Drop. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Claus A. Spreckels. president of the Federal Sugar Refining company, who de clared on his arrival from abroad three days agfJthat the price of sugar was too high, emphasized his remarks today by announcing that he would at once shut down the Federal company's plant at Yon kers. "Sugar must fall in price." said Mr. Spreckels. "Conditions in Cuba. received in report by cable, assert that there is so much heavy cane growing that they expect to begin grinding the new crop about one month to six weeks earlier than usual, that is they will begin about December 1 instead of January 1. "Cables from France show that their crop Is unprecedented in the purity of the beets, and a higher percentage of sugar contained than has been recorded for many years. "Beet sugar producers In Europe will have a surplus of more than 800,000 tons and I can not see that there will be any exports to Europe for the next six months. "Sugar has been advanced in price three-quarters of a cent in the last two to three weeks. 'This is an advance that bears the earmarks of pure speculation and not because of a legitimate condition. "I can not but expect when this new crop begins to come, in, or in anticipation of it within the next 30 days, sugar must take a drop."

Delegates from many commercial and highway organiza tions and representatives from th executive and highway departments of Oregon, Idaho. California an Nevada at a banquet here tonlgh went on record as pledging thel moral support to the movement looking to the early completion of the Idaho-Oregon-Nevada cut-off highway. The celebration of th movement to complete this highway started here yesterday and will continue until tomorrow night. Besides state officials, highway delegations and commercial club delegates, thousands of citizens from many sections of the four states are in attendance. Speakers repre senting the more isolated sections of eastern Oregon declared that the proposed highway primarily was i Jordan valley project, and was lnl tiated four years ago with the hope of obtaining better transportation facilities in the inland empire. Movement Grows Rapidly. The movement has grown, the speakers said, until the highway now has the support and encourage ment of the four western states While not contending that the high way will prove a great boon to Port land and other industrial centers on the coast, the speakers declared that it unquestionably will be of great benefit to the Isolated sec tions along the Idaho boundary and will place Boise within 25 hours of travel from San Francisco. Some of the speakers Intimated that the citizens of the extreme eastern Oregon counties had paid their taxes year after year without flinching, but that they had not received the financial or mora courtesies to which they are en-titled. It was made plain by the speakers that a lot of money thus far ex pended for the road has been raised by private tax and from market road funds and that the state of Oregon has not contributed one dot lar toward the project. This plan of financing the highway probably will be continued unless the Oregon officials can be made to realize the necessity and convenience of -the project. Governor la Banquet tiaeat. Governor Olcott and Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, arrived here this afternoon and later were guests of honor at the banquet. They made the trip from Portland to Ontario by rail, where they were met by automobiles and a committee of Jordan valley citizens. The trip from Ontario to Jordan valley require! nearly seven hours, but the scenery and realization of the possibilities of the region more than offset th-' unpleasantness attending the over land Journey. Governor Olcott, in addressing the banquet, eaid it was his first vis't to the extreme eastern part of the state, and that he was highly pleased and pleasantly surprised at the development. He pointed to Jordan valley as one of the pic turesque spots in eastern Oregon, spoke encouragingly of its irriga tion possibilities and lauded the sturdy men and women who had fought the uphill battle in making the empire a pleasant and profitable homeslte. With adequate highway connec tions, Governor Olcott predicted that Jordan valley and the' adjacent territory would enjoy its full share of prosperity and could be blessed with many of the luxuries not poa- ible at present because of its isolation. Secretary Also Pays Tribute. Secretary of State Kozer joined with Governor Olcott in paying tribute to Jordan valley and the pos sibilities attending the highway pro ject. The highway, upon completion. ill extend from Boise, Idaho, through extreme eastern Oregon and Jordan valley and connect at Wln- nemucca, Nev., with the Lincoln highway to Sam Francisco. The highway will link all the national parks in Montana. Idaho, Oregon and Nevada, and will be one of the most scenic routes in the far west. Tomorrow's programme will In clude business meetings, sports and dance. Caldwell and Boise, Idaho, are represented by more than 100 of their citizens, inciudins George B. Groff of the Cutoff Highway asso ciation and H. A. Lawson. who acted as chairman of the business sessions. Pat Gallagher of Ontario- is repre senting the Oresiu state highway commission. l;!

With the assertion that Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall snd her fam ily can-no longer be silent regarding thu flood of false rumors centered upon them In the double murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Kleanor Relnhardt Mills, Tim othy N. Pfflffer. Mrs. Hall's sttor ney. tonight requested Governor Kd wards to place the Investigation exclusively In the hands of a com petent, fearless officer of the state. The lawyer made public a letter to the governor, criticising severely the tactics of the present county in vestigators and the conflict between them. "The atmosphere of New Bruns wick Is charged with every sort of rumor that political pressure, money and official prestige have been made use of by Mrs. Hall and ber family to hinder and delay the administra tion of Justice in this case," pfelffer wrote. Orflrlale Called staple. In the mind of Ihe public Mrs. Hall Is held responsible for Ihe t resent Impossible condition of af fairs. In truth. It Is due to the bungling stupidity of the officials of these two counties, and now the evidence Is unmistakable that the authorities of the one county sre at odds with the authorities of the other county, with the efforts of the state troopers standing between the two. rendered abortive." The attorney told the governor that further silence on the part of the slsln rector's widow and her family would possibly be construsd by many as an admission of the false accusations leveled against them. Therwassi PrwHe la I reed. "Mrs. Hall, her brothers and all her relatives." the letter said, "are now and have been from the be ginning deslrlous of submitting to every test of their complete 'Inno cence which a thoroughly compre hensive. Intelligent and coherent In vestigation demands. But If the In vestigation is to continue In the hands of officials who cause an ar rest for murder on the accusation of an admittedly Irresponsible per son and then state they are not In terested In whether the accusation is or is not true, then neither Mrs. Hall nor any one else Is free from the menace of official hysteria and tyranny." Mrs. Hsll's attorney urged the governor to use his moral power to bring about a "thoroughly compre hensive, intelligent and coherent Investigation of this hideous crime." Family Cssferrsr. Held. The appeal to the governor wse given out after a family roiitereme at the home of Mrs. Hall lasting ore than an hour.
