PICKETING IS ENJOINED
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Obtains Order New Or
leans Court Also Acts.
CHICAGO, July 8. (By the As
sociated Press.) The calling out of
troops In Illinois, the assembling of
soldiers in half a dozen states and
the Intervention of the , federal
courts in the nation-wide strike of
railway shopmen marked the close
of the eighth day of the walkout
tonight.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quln
ey railroad tonight obtained a fed
eral injunction here restraining
picketing at the Aurora shops, while
earlier in the day an injunction was
issued at New Orleans restraining
strikers from interfering with
trains on the Southern Pacific and
at Council Bluffs, Iowa, the Bur
lington obtained a temporary re
straining order directed against
striking Bhopmen in southern Iowa.
A half dozen other railroads were
expected to follow the lead of the
Burlington here. Department, of
Justice officials at Washington were
investigating reports that strike
disorders were interfering with the
mails.
Troops Sent to Clinton.
Lieutenant-Governor Sterling of
Illinois tonight ordered troops to
Clinton, where an outbreak was
threatened following a clash be
tween Illinois Central guards and
strike sympathizers in which a boy
was Wiled and two men, one a.
striker, were injured. - j
One bright ray appeared through
the threatening strike clouds to
night when D. W. Helt, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Sig
nal Men, announced that he would
withhold strike orderB to 14,000 sig
nal men pending the preparation
and submission of a programme to
the United States railroad labor
boad.
All-Day Farley Held.
Mr. Helt's announcement was
made following an all-day confer
ence with W. L. McMenimen, labor
member of the board. This was the
second time within a week that
members of the board have inter
vened to stop an addition to the
Btrikers' ranks, walkout of 400,000
maintenance of way men having
been postponed in this manner a few
days ago.
With B. M. Jewell, head of the
shop crafts, and the labor board
each standing firm in the attitude
that peace overtures must come
from the other, the railroads tonight
were girding for the second week of
the struggle, determined to maintain
uninterrupted transportation and
thus break the strike.
Many roads were preparing to
open their shops the first of the
week, when the ultimatum to strik
ers to return or lose their seniority
rights expires. Some carriers have
applied for troops to -protect em
ployes and property in this move,
others are making arrangements to
afford private protection to em
ployes who remain at work, and oth
ers that are being employed.
Nothing la Accomplished.
Efforts looking to an immediate
settlement of the strike apparently
accomplished nothing today. Fol
lowing the statement yesterday of
Chairman Ben W. Hooper of the
labor board that the board had no
power to mediate the strike so long
as the men remained away from

Valuable Rugs, Antiques and
Gems Taken as Baritone
Renders Pagliacci Role.
CHICAGO, July 8. Police today
sought a musical burglar who dur
ing the week looted at least seven
exclusive Chicago residences of
thousands of dollars' worth of jew
els, bric-a-brac and money, after
first lulling suspicions of neighbors
by his rare pianlstic technique.
The burglar displayed a large ar
tistry both as a musician and a
burglar, according to detectives
who investigated his depreda
tions. He cut small holes in glass
door panels and jimmied locks with
a regard for the woodwork. He re
vealed a fondness for Verdi'o com
positions, those who heard him said.
At one home he played a score
from "Rlgoletto" and obtained $700
worth of valuables. At another he
rendered a pleasing portion from
"La Traviata" and selected with the
taste of a connoisseur $1500 worth
of heirlooms and jewelry. In a third
home "Aida" was the accompani
ment as he helped himself to a col
lection of costly ornaments. "II
Trovatore" and an improvisation of
exceeding promise marked the theft
of $1000 worth of gems at another
home.
The burglar sang from "Pagliacci"
in a rich, well-modulated baritone
as he chose from a collection of
rugs, antiques and jewels s.t two
apartments.
AUTO VICTIM MAY LIVE
Miss Leona White Is Reported to
Be Slightly Improved.
FOREST GROVE. Or., July 8.
(Special.) The condition of Miss
Leona White, who was thought to
have been fatally injured in an auto
accident here last night, was slightly
improved late tonight. The accident
ocpurred when a car in which six
high school students of Forest Grove
were driving turned over in the
ditch as it was rounding a curve on
the loop highway between Forest
Grove and Gaston.
The occupants were Miss. Leona
White and her twin sister, Leola, of
Scogglns valley, Dorothy Patrick,
Carl Broderson, Gomer Samuels and
Ronald Vandoren, all of Forest
rove. Broderson sustained a' bro
ken shoulder and Samuels' ribs were
broken. The others escaped with
minor cuts and bruises. The injured
girl has a fractured skull and has
been unconscious since the accident
The machine was driven by Leola
White. ,
COOL DAY IS PREDICTED
Fair Weather, With Northwest
erly Winds, Forecast.
Cool weather seems to be in order
for the next few days. The maxi
mum temperature reached at -4:30
P. M. yesterday was 75, the same as
it was Friday. Forecaster Wells
thinks he will slip another cool day
over on the populace today, since
the low pressure area occurlng to
the east of Portland has come to
stay for a short time.
An .area of high pressure which
has been hovering to tha northeast
of the city is moving over to balance
up the low pressure and is causing
the cool winds of the high altitude
to slip down and give Portland peo
ple relief from the 90-degree heat
wave of the , last few days. The
forecast for today is fair, cool, and
northwesterly winds.

Fossilized Record of Faunal Life
of Distant Period Believed
to Have Been Found.
EUGENE, Or., July 8. (Special.)
Oregon's marble hails, the noted
Josephine caves, which have at
tracted more than 2000 tourists
since the opening, of the highway
in the latter part of June, Is also a
marble mausoleum, an archive of the
ages, having stored under its etalac
tic Incrustations a fossilized record
of faunal life which in all probabil
ity flourished on the western shores
of this continent at that distant
geologic time when man first ap
peared upon the earth, isays Dr. Karl
Packard, head of the University of
Oregon, department of geology.
Dr. Packard, with a party of stu
dents in the geology department at
the university has Just returned to
Eugene from a stay of two weeks in
southern Oregon examining geologic
formations.
The members of the party last
Thursday found animal bones in
caverns never before visited by tour
ists and it is the belief of Dr. Pack
ard that these caves will reveal to
science not only a history of the
distant past, but also will: give to
geologists a more accurate knowl
edge of the time when the Klam
ath mountain ' system was raised
from a level plain into lofty ranges
of metamorphic and igneous rocks.
From the data gathered by the
university geologists it appears
likely, said Dr. Packard, that the
bones taken from the caves will be
determined as pleistocene in age,
and if such Is the case he points out
that their value will be enhanced,

Hospitality to Princes Is
Rapped by Harden.
REPUBLIC'S ENEMIES AIDED
Pensions Declared Given to
Men Practically Traitors.
MASSES ARE LED ASTRAY
People Held Deluded Into Belief
That Life Under Kaiser Was
a Glorious Bream.
Neither the sword of an emperor nor
the knife of an assassin has as yet stilled
the trenchant pen of Maximilian Harden,
Germany's greatest writer and publicist,
whose life was attempted last Monday
night outside his little villa in the
Grunewald section of Berlin. Suffering
from eight vicious knife wounds, Harden
was carried Into his home unconscious.
He has shown steady but slow improve
ment and in this, the first dispatch re
ceived in this country since the attack,
Mr. Harden displays no rancor or per
sonal bitterness.
Severely arraigning the republican gov
ernment for Its laxity .in protecting the
republic and permitting a steady growth
of monarchtsm which ha6 made it easy
to attack and persecute those who would
not join in the monarchist propaganda,
the wounded editor nevertheless makes
an impassioned plea for help for the
struggling German republic. Today's dis
patch is a notable addition to the writ
ings of Maximilian Harden, which rang
around the world. ' The news of the at
tempt on his life was flashed every
where, and everywhere there has been
anxiety to know what next would come
from his pen.
BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN.
Germany's Foremost Publicist.
(Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.)
BERLIN, July 8. (Special Table.)
Four years after the fainting fit
which legend politely calls a "revo
lution," the German government in
troduces a bill in the reichstag, en
titled "A bill for the protection of
the republic."
The title alone implies its own
harsh criticism. If, after four years,
it is necessary to protect the re
public by a special law, the republic
heretofore .must have been unpro
tected, threatened and endangered.
Unless states are protected by a
constitution and a penal code they
stand on a rotten foundation. Re
peated ugly experiences show this
to be the case with Germany. Those
who took over the government
thought they would make their
usurpation more palatable by leni
ency toward those who were over
thrown. Lenity Is Censured.
They allowed the princes who
were wise enough not to flee from
Germany to remain at Potsdam, in
Silesia, Schleswig and elsewhere.
They allowed these princes to hold
court ceremonies. They allowed the
ex-kaiser's picture to remain in pub
lic places and permitted the hoist
ing of the imperial flag. They left
old imperial officials in office, and
permitted imperial officers in the
republican army.
Finally they gave huge pensions,
up to'two hundred thousand marks,
to ex-officers so that these ex-officers
might carry on a campaign
against the republic, together with
professors, judges, prefects, teach
ers etc. They even established
"'traditional compapies" in army
regiments to keep alive the remem
brance of Germany's military glory.
All this has been intolerable.
Napoleon, at the height of his glory.
might have called Louis XIV his
predecessor and uncle, but he was
much greater when he called him
self simply "The Son of the Revo
lution." .. Government Is Scored.
A young republic, founded upon
the ruins of two dozen thrones, must
prove daily to the people that yes
terday's apparent glory brought
them only misfortune and that
monarchy and the trappings of state
carriages, parades and militarism in
general were rotten at heart, detri
mental to the nation, and an out-
rrage to the modern spirit.

Millionaire's Wife Lights Fire
in Yellowstone Park Wilfls
to Guide Searchers.
, FORT YELLOWSTONE, Wyo., July
8. Caught in a blizzard on Mount
Washburn in Yellowstone national
park and lost for some hours today,
the party of tourists headed by Mrs.
Percy Rockefeller of New York was
finally rescued by forest rangers
who were ruined to the scene by a
fire lit by Mrs. Rockefeller herself.
The- party, which included Mrs. H.
F. Byram, wife of the, president of
the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul
railway, left this morning for an
ascent of the mountain. They meant
to motor as far as possible and then
climb. Soon after their d-aparture a
heavy snow storm began and it was
feared they might-become lost. For
est rangers were unable to pick up
the trail, however, because of the
storm, which obliterated tracks al
most as soon as made.
Soon after nightfall a fire, blazing
on an arm of Mount Washburn,
gave the rangers the direction, and
they were soon after the .party.
Mrs.' Rockefeller herself gathered
the wood and lit the fire, feeling,
she said, that the rangers surely
were in search of them.
Besides Mrs. Rockefeller, who is
the daughter-in-law of the late
William Rockefeller of New York
city, the party included three small
children of Mrs. Rockefeller, Mrs.
Byram, Griffith Mark of Forest
Lake, III., a steel manufacturer; A.
Villlers, a prominent London, Eng
land, banker, and J. R. Vietch of
Seattle, Wash., traffic manager of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway. The party suffered no
hardships beyond exposure, but
might easily have been lost during
the night, say rangers.
BRITISH GOLD, RECEIVED

agent in th's country. A similar
shipment is on the way on another

Marion County Growers Said to
Face Loss of $40,000.
SALEM, Or., July 8. (Special.)
Unless more pickers are obtained
the next few days, Marion county
berry growers will face a loss of
$40,000, it was reported here today.
The recent warm weather has
ripened the berries rapidly and the
situation was said to be grave.
There are approximately 12.000.000
pounds of loganberries in the vi
cinity of Salem, but much of the
crop has not been harvested.
If saved in its entirety this year's
yield , would return to the growers
approximately $960,000.
