Couple 'Reconciled' for 24 Hours, But Xew Complications Make Outcome Puzzling One. r BY GENEVIEVE FORBES. 6y Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 27 Professor John P. Tiernan and his wife, Augusta H. Tiernan, have been "reconciled"' for 24 hours. As a result of their plan to "start all over again," Mrs. Tiernan is firiously ill from a nervous collapse which 'came as a climax to a eerles of violent domestic quarrels; Pro fessor Tiernan has openly threat ened to return to Blanche, his ex illegal bride of one day; Mrs. Tier nan's sisier came from Chicago to urge the couple to "atop disgracing the family"; George Sands, attorney for Tlornan, did not appear in court today to dismiss the professor's cross-bill for divorce from Augusta Tiernan. Otherwise, the reconciliation stands. As a complex tangle of in consistent sensational surprises, the Tiernan - Tiernan domestic patch work jostles into insignificance the unique legal snarl in the Tiernan l'oulin paternity suit. Unable to stand the strain of her husband's bland references to Blanche, or to conquer her own primitive jealousy, Mr& Tiernan, in the midst of a hysteric outburst of indecision collapsed and fcecame un conscious late this afternoon. Neigh bora who had heard the violent quarreling, grew alarmed when the screams stopped suddenly. Fearing the woman had taken poison, they rushed to the Tiernan home, where they were informed that Mrs. Tier nan was under a doctor's care as the result of a. complete nervous col lapse. Militant Sister Appear. The South Bend professor has Au crusta Tiernan just where he wants her, but lie doesn't seem to want her. He suggests a reconciliation and dares her to return to him. He flaunts in the impassioned face of the woman primitive hints of in timacy and revelations of love for Blanche Brimmer-TioTnan the girl he married illegally Saturday, two days after Judge Montgomery had granted Mm a divorce from Augusta. The prologue to the Tlernans' domestic problem play came early this morning. After a night spent as husband and wife, the couple, determined to get away from the past, "even the furniture," began to ticket their furniture prelimi nary to its sale. They admitted there were still certain domestic adjustments to be made, but de clared they wanted a chance to make a go of it.- As the professor had tagged the library table with a $15 price mark, and Mrs. Tiernan had scribbled "$1" on the table runner, her sister, Mrs. Frances Pulaski of Chicago came rushing in, horrified at the way "everybody is .talking about you." "With some pleading and sympathy Mrs. Pulaski urged her Bister to make her decision final and to stand by it, but to be perfectly sure that Tiernan would stick with her if she returned to him. The scene that followed was not pleasant. Charges, taunts, insinua tions, tears, screams, and through it all three frightened children huddled in a corner, dodging each gesture of their parents. Mm. Tiernan Hysterical. "He's told me so many lies, I can't believe him, screamed Mrs. Tiernan - "How do I know ho told me the truth about Blanche. Oh, let me go truth about Blanche? Oh. let me go me irutn, wnicn is driving the woman to the verge of indecisive thought, possibly action, is whether or not Tiernan's ex-illegal bride of one day is his "wife in name only" or whether she must share her husband even as he, by her own Confession, shared her with Harry Poulin. Tiernan, as a zoologist, prods two hostile species to see their reactions, pricks again and again the prime val jealousy which his wife is un able to conceal. By constantly re ferring to the good-looking Blanche, Professor Tiernan seems to recip rocate the affections of Mrs. Blanche Brimmer-Tiernan, who, at home in Marshalltown, la., declares she will "make Tiernan hang for this" if he deserts her. Meanwhile the legal problem be comes a delicate one. The fact that the Tiernans admit the resumption of full marital relations presents a new angle in the event that the professor's cross bill is not dis missed. Women May Settle All. In the event that the rehearing set for December 11 is held, it is reported that one witness will be K. M Memring of Logansport, Ind., an ice man who is said to have delivered ice at the Tiernan home one day just as Professor Tiernan knocked his wife to the kitchen floor. With no repudiation of the recon ciliation, with all plans ready for a public sale of everything next Friday, Mrs. Tiernan still suffering from nervous collapse, and demand ing to kivw the truth from Blanche, it may develop that the strange cor ollary to the paternity suit will be settled between Blanche and Aug usta with the man for whom they are fighting standing by as a legal expert studying "a case." LINN INSTITUTE HELD Placing Kural Schools Under County Unit Plan Favored. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 27. (Special.) Rural schools of the state should be placed under the county unit plan whereby supervision would be on a better foundation with- uniform standards of work and salaries, J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of public instruction, told 250 teachers from Linn, Benton, Lane and Marlon counties here today at the annual Linn county institute. In commenting upon the objection raised against the plan that the power of control is taken away from the people, Mr. Churchill Stated that in this respect the power should be revoked. The results in numerous rural districts were cited as proof of this. It was pointed out, how ever, that such a system comes only through educating the people. This can be done through the teachers, the speaker stated, by presenting the advantages to the people. Im portance of teaching English, fea turing the mechanics and technical ities of the language, were em phasized by Mr. Churchill. DRY CHIEF DENIES RUMOR Prohibition Officer Will Xot Transfer F. A.

RADICAL ELEMENTS TO CDAITRDL HOUSE Labor-Farm Bloc Is Strong in Next Congress. SENATE INVASION HEAVY Coalition Programme Calls for Assaults on Rail Laws and Relief for Agriculture. STREET JOB IS FILLED Seattle Council Names Major Rice Over Mayor's Protest. SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 27. (Spe cial.) An attempt to break the deadlock between Mayor Brown and the Seattle City council over the appointment of a superintendent of streets was made today when the council, ignoring the mayor's latest plea for his preferred candidate, elected Major George M. Rice ti fill the vacancy. Whether the election can be made to hold is a question which may have to be taken into court for an interpretation of d'ty charter provisions. Major Rice was nominated and elected by five votes, four members refusing to vote. Rice is a civil en gineer and an overseas veteran.

Labor and agriculture if they hang together will control the house of representatives in the next con gress and come close to dominating the senate. More than a majority of the 435 members of the house elected No vember 7 last were indorsed by either labor or farm organizations, or by both, in accord with the scheme of affiliation of the labor and radical farm groups. More than three-fourths of the senators elect ed likewise had the indorsement of labor or agriculture, or both. Important Programme Outlined.' With this powerful influence in the next congress labor and the radical farm elements will endeavor to procure the abolishment of the railway labor board and the repeal of the railroad profit provision, if not the repeal of the entire Lsch Cummins transportation act. Anti- strike and industrial court legisla tion will be stubbornly opposed. The coalition programme also calls for extended rural credit and other legislation for the benefit of the agricultural interests. The American Federation of Labor and affiliated labor organizations alone we're instrumental in electing 158 members of the next congress. according to a statement - issued today by Samuel Gompers. Of the 34 senators elected, 24 had the sup port of labor, while 11 senatorial candidates defeated were fought by the federation. Mr. Gompers' Score Card.

Mr. Gompers also lists by name the 158 members of the house "elected either because directly supported by the American J ederation of Labor non-partisan political campaign com mittee or because of its opposition to their opponents." Of these 9' arc republicans, 57 democrats, one fnrm-er-labor, and one independent. In these political activities the federation's campaign committee raised and expended $4928. Mr. Gompers calls the.'result gratifying though 'lack of funds proved a hindrance in sending out speakers." but "we utilized the activity of the American Federation of Labor or ganizers." and Mr. Gompers i-nd other officers of the federation were active in campaign work. Trestle Complaint Hearing Set. SALEM, Or.. Nov. 28. (Special.) December 15 has been fixed as the date for hearing the complaint filed by the Southern Pacific company to compel Steven Carver, owner of the Portland and Oregon City railroad, to repair a trestle over the lines of the former corporation at Clack amas. Members of the public serv ice commission will conduct the hearing in Portland. It was charged by the Soothern Pacific company that the trestle is dangerous and a menace to its lines. - . peril any friendly feeling you may have had for me," said Mr. Dana as he started his talk. I have just learned that the Community Chest, that should have been filled last week, is one-third full and one of the chief factor in the slow progress of the drive is the apathy of Portland women. They have pulled down their blinds, refused to answer the door bell and would not . respond to telephone calls. Fifty precincts of the city are not covered because it has not been possible to enlist women to make the necessary contacts with the residents of those sections. Chest Not for Men Alone. "This is so inconsistent with woman's nature that I am reluctant to credit this actual condition of affairs. The most famous contri bution to charity in all history was made by a woman, the widow's mite. All human experience is illuminated by acts of nobility and eacrlfice on the part of women. "When you think of the Com munity Chest, you must vision it as merely a chest of boards and nails. It is not that at all. It is a waijing, motherless baby's cry, a white haired mother's wail, an old man's despair; its emptiness is made of tmpty hearts and empty hands and Portland women should do their part in filling it. This chest is not a work for men alone. It may be that they could fill it of themselves but that is not the plan. The chest is one of the essential things to arouse the mother heart of Portland." i More Workers Seeded. More women workers are needed at headquarters. Fourth and Alder streets, and Mrs. Brandt held the nope that an awakening will iome so that hearty co-operation will be feiven by the women of Portland and. the campaign speeded to success. All generals held a conference in the afternoon with Chairman Sam mons at headquarters and although the delay in completing the canvass was deplored, it was agreed that all needed to bring about success is a little more attention to detail, checking back and gathering up the loose ends. Every one of the divi sion heads was of optimistic and de termined mind. -The drive will go forward with increasing momentum, it was declared. Colonels Gather Today. At noon today all colonels in the campaign will gather at the Port land hotel for a business luncheon where plans will be discussed. This luncheon, as in all other gatherings o drive workers, will be paid for by each participant. Tomorrow noon at the Multnomah hotel there will be a big luncheon for all workers enlisted in the drive. All are asked to be present at that time and report on their experience, the hope being to tighten up the organization where weak spots have developed and bring about increased efficiency for the remainder of the canvass. Encouraging reports came to headquarters yesterday from a num ber of sources. For example, there was the Powers Furniture company with its 90 employes and 90 sub scribers, the total being $1134, which was 20 per cent more than the last chest drive raised in that etore. , Library Subscriptions Greater. Employes of the Portland library and branches increased their sub scriptions by 20 per cent over last year, making these workers 100 per cent. . . There will be a variation from the usual noon indicator meeting today. There will be no ceremony at the old postoffice corner other than raising the rung in the ladder that points to the new daily total. Two fire wagons have been enlisted in the drive and they will ramble through the retail section, stopping at prominent corners and permitting Frank J. Lonergan and Arthur W. Jones to make brief speeches for the chest from the equipment. There will also be temporary indicators on the wagons, so that the noon total will be proclaimed there and also solicitors will be on hand to take down subscriptions.
