SAN FRANCISCO. July 21. Govern
ment officials left San Francisco last
night to investigate reported activities
of Industrial Workers of the World at
Uorris, on the California-Oregon bor
der, and at Klamath Falls. Or., on tele
graphic orders from the Department of
Justice in Washington.
The Federal party included Assistant
United States Attorney Casper A. Orn
baum. Chief Deputy United States Mar
shal George B. Rurnham and Deputy
Marshal Thomas 9. Mulhall. They have
full power to act and will decide as to
the advisability of sending troops to
quell alleged attempts to destroy crops
and livestock, to hamper transporta

Klamath Falls. The Attorney-General
stated he had received information to
this effect and appeals for aid from
District Attorneys in that vicinity. Mr.
Ornbaum will co-operate with United

Portland. Fifty arrests have been made
in Dorrls as an outgrowth of the trou
ble, according to Federal authorities.
STATE MAY START ACTION
Public Service Commission Has
Power to Act in Strike.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. July 21., Attorney
General Tanner today notified the
state Public Service Commission that
It has power under the law to ask the
Superior Court for a writ to compel
the Tacoma, Railway & Power Com
pany to furnish adequate service on
its streetcar lines. Mr. Tanner says he
is willing to begin the suit, probably
Monday. Only one member of the Com
mission is here. It is expected that the
Commission will ask Mr. Tanner to
begin action at once.
Mr. Tanner's ruling puts the legal
machinery of the state into action in
an effort to bring about settlement of
the Tacoma car men's strike. The sit
uation in the Seattle car men's strike
is almost the same as that in Tacoma.
The state Public Service Commission
may proceed against the Seattle com
pany. ,

Thomas J. Beall, of Lewlaton.
LEWISTON, Idaho. July 21.
(Special.) Thomas J. Beall, of
Lewlston, Idaho, Is the oldest
pioneer of the Inland Empire.
"Uncle Tom," as he Is fondly
called by everyone who knows
him, was born In Washington,
D. C, December 28, 1832. When a
young man he came to the Pa
cific Northwest. He saw Port
land when it was only a hamlet;
and Seattle was only a sawmill
town. He was the first white
man to run a scow on Upper
Snake River for commercial pur
poses. In 1857 he was with a
party of three white men who
landed at the junction of the
Snake and Clearwater rivers,
where the city of Lewlston is
now situated, and was the man
who gave the city its name.
"Uncle Tom" is one of three
survivors of the famous Steptoe
Butte battle. The Idaho Histori
cal Society has published his
memoirs and made them a part
of the records of that institution.
Many Believe Disagreement Might
Be Settled by President Formu
lating Programme Incorporat
ing Ideas of Both Men.
WASHINGTON, July 21. President
Wilson has made up his mind to inter
vene in the shipouildlng row and will
take steps to soive the situation soon
after he returns from a week-end trip
on the Mayflower.
The President's decision to put an
end to differences that have halted the
Government's building programme was
made after he had received a letter
yesterday from Major-General Goet
hals declaring the situation appeared
hopeless and the General would resign
if the President thought that would
solve the problem.
Difficulties between Chairman Den
man, of the Shipping Board, and Gen
eral Goethals, manager of the Board's
Emergency Fleet Corporation, starting
over the Board's wooden ship plan,
came to a head last week when the
President authorized the fleet corpor
ation to build ships and directed the
Board to operate them.
General Goethals taking the order
to mean as the general manager of the
corporation, he would have a free hand,
announced a building programme
which he said he would start last Mon
day.
Work la Poatponed.
The start was postponed at the re
quest. General Goethals said, of Chair
man Denman, who asked a short delay
to give the Shipping Board time to go
over thep lans.
Mr. Denman declared he had asked
for no delay but did ask for the gen
eral to submit In his detail his plan.
as the shipping board, responsible for
the expenditure of the millions of dol
lars appropriation, wanted to know how
it would be spent.
For a week members of the Board
and General Goethals have been going
over the programme. Although Chair
man Denman has announced that prog
ress was being made and that a com
pleted programme on which everybody
could agree was In sight, there have
been persistent reports of friction.
The President s course in settling the
situation was a matter of much specu
lation tonight. It is known the Presi
dent would be reluctant to lose General
Goethals' service. There is reason to
believe, too, that the President would
hesitate to dlsph.ee Mr. Denman.
Officials in close touch with the It-
uatlon think the President may adopt
one of three courses. He could leave
the status of both officials very much
p. i as it is ana xnaKe a personal appeal io
liLLU I both to bury their differences and work
in more harmony. Again, he could give
full powers to General Goethals and di
rect the Shipping Board not to hamper
him in any way. Another way sug
gested is that he could give Chairman
Denman full authority and ask General
Goethals to render a patriotic service
by following the Shipping Board's
plans..
Many believe the present disagree
ment might be settled by the President
himself formulating a programme from
what both General Goethals and the
Shipping Board have to offer, but pos
sibilities of future clashes still are seen
by those who believe temperamental
differences between Mr. Denman and
General Goethals can never be harznon
ized.
