Governor Morrow late today ordered troops to move from Hapkinsville and Livermore to Madisonville, when county authorities at that place advised him the situation at a strip mine proved threatening and that local authorities would be un able to handle the situation if trou ble developed as they anticipated. 94 WATER PERMITS OUT work,'. Mr. Jewell today reiterated his assertions that the first move toward peace must come from the railroads or the iabor board. Except for the disorders at Clin ton, 111., most of today's violence was confined to clashes between strike sympathizers and workmen due to the efforts of the strike sym pathisers to persuade the employts still at work to quit. Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky and California were among states that had either assembled troops or were prepared to do so in case disorders occurred. Train Schedule Disrupted. Train schedules were further d's rupted as a result of the str'ke to day, the Missouri, Kansas & -Texas company announcing the annull ment of 43 trains in Missouri. Okla homa, Kansas and Texas, while fie Chicago & Alton abandoned ail service in and out of Bloomingtoi. 111., due to disorders there. Labor board members said to night that they expected E. H. Fiti- grerald, president of the Brotherhoo-1 Railway and Steamship clerks. freight handlers, express and station employes here Monday from Cincin nati to enter into negotiations witli board members regarding the clerks' strike. Confidence was expressed that an agreement would be reached by which the strike of clerks would- be postponed or called off. BOY IS KILLED BY GUAUI) Two Men Also Wounded in Out break at Clinton, 111, CLINTON. III., July 8. (By the Associated Press.) First trouble in the railroad shopmen's strike oc curred here today when a guard em ployed by the Illinois Central rail road shot and killed James Fitz gerald, a 12-year-old boy, wounded his father, James Fitzgerald Sr., a striker, by shooting him through the leg, and wounded a passerby, Elmer Hanklnson. The latter was shot through both legs. It is said the trouble started when the guard told a number of strike sympathizers to keep off the right of way, declaring he would "shoot the first man who stepped over the deadline." Fitzgerald, it is claimed, stepped over, whipped out a pistol and invited the guard to "begin shooting." The boy died shortly after being wounded. He was shot through the right lung. The father and Hankin son were taken to tha hospital here for treatment. Early tonight about 600 strikers and strike sympathizers were col lected near the Illinois Central shops and trouble was expected. This afternoon they stormed down town stores in attempts to purchase firearms. Policemen and deputy sheriffs were inside the stores aU tempting to keep the men out but their efforts were practically futile. Sheriff Persons sent a telegram to Lieutenant-Governor Sterling at Hockford, III., asking for troops. All men working at the Clinton shops had deserted their jobB and the guards stationed at the shops have fled. Anxiety was expressed by many residents who feared a further out break before the arrival of the troops. Feeling was still at fever pitch and it would not take much, residents said, to start another out break. The Clinton shops of the Illinois Central employed about BOO men be fore the strike and 4O0 of these walked out July 1. No strike break ers were imported by the roads, it was said, and outside of the hun dred men or so who remained at work only a few "drifters" came in to augment their forces. Between 70 and 75 guards were stationed about the shops. Irrigation of 24,073 Acres of Oregon Land Involved. ' SALEM, Or., July 8. (Special.) During the month of April, May and June, 94 permits for the appropria tion of water from the various streams of Oregon were issued by Percy Cupper, state engineer.

SHOP STRIKE CONTINUES ULTIMATUMS TO WORKMEN DECLARED INEFFECTIVE. Shops Running, but Largely With Men Engaged by Companies Through Advertisements. Ultimatums to striking shopmen issued by the various railroad com panies, it is said, have not had the expected effect. The strike con tinues, the majority of the men are out, and, while' the shops-are run ning, the men employed, by a big majority, are those ho have been hired through advertisements. The Union Pacific three days ago issued notice that its men must return to work by 3 o'clock yesterday after noon or lose all seniority rights with the company. A small per centage of old employes returned tn their tasks. The shop forces of the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway were in creased yesterday to some extent. The superintendent of the Albina shops of the O.-W. -R. N. Co. re ported that from 30 to 40 rrien were being put to work in the shops dally and that ;within a short time the forces, . though composed of non union men, would be back to a nor mal basis. The Southern Pacific continued to .hire men, as did the Spokane, Portland & Seattle. The union leaders contend that they are causing the railroads much worry and that trains are being Re layed on all lines. This has been branded as "propaganda" by rail road officials. v Pickets are stationed at all shops and they are going about their tasks peacefully and not attempting to cause trouble. The unions have cau tioned the men to refrain from starting trouble with the men re cently hired or with those who con tinued at their jobs in the shops. Three Kail Guards Quit. LA GRANDE, Or.. July 8. (Spe cial.) Only three of the 75 guards at the O. W. R. & N. shops here quit as a result of the order yesterday prohibiting them from carrying weapons. A "no help wanted" sign has also been hung out at the rail road special agent's office, al though earlier in the week it was announced that 150 guards were wanted. The strikers re ported two men returning .. to work today and one additional man quitting. Figures on the number of men at work in the shops were not announced by railroad officials. W. Bollins, superintendent, stated that announcements of the strikers were "authentic." BODY FOUND RIVER T. E. Mitchell Believed to Have '. Committed Suicide. , 1 VANCOUVER, Wash., July 8 (Special.) The body of T. E. Mitch ell, -who disappeared from his home at Camas July 4, was recovered today in the Washougal river, where it was believed the man ended his own life. Mr. Mitchell rethwd on the night of July 4, but got up about 10:30 and went out of the house. He was not seen alive afterward. He was employed by the paper mill in Camas, was 53 years of age and left a son, Bert, 14 years of age. HQQUIAM FITS MAYOR COMMERCIAL CLUB TO SEEK SOLUTION OF TROUBLE. IS OWA UNIONS ARE ENJOINED Interference With Operation of Trains Is Prohibited. COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia., July 8. Federal Judge Wade late today is sued a. temporary restraining order, directed against the six shop crafts unions in favor- of the Bur lington railroad. The order, af fecting all Burlington points in southern Iona, prohibits the unions from interfering with the opera tion of trains and the full protec tion of railroad property. ' A hearing on a motion for an injunction will be held at Keokuk, la., July 17.

POSTAL RECEIPTS GROW Vancouver Expects Office to Stay in First-Class. VANCOUVER, Wash., July 8. (Special.)

This will insure that the Vancouver postoffice will remain in the first class. It was feared that when the ship yards closed down business would not be so good. Acting Executive Is Accused of Conspiring to Hold Office as Finance Commissioner. HOQUIAM, Wash., July S. (Spe cial.) The mayoralty situation is still an active morsel of conversa tion in Hoquiam, after three months of being a city without a head, so to speak. At the luncheon of the Commercial ..club -yesterday, Alex Poison, widely known logger, made a motion that Thorpe Babcock. manager of the Northwestern mill, be appointed temporary mayor. The motion carried with acclaim, but was ruled out of order by Vice- President Kniskern, who ac'cepted a motion that Mr. Babcock be ap pointed a committee of one to call upon the city commission and dis cover the intention of the two re maining city commissioners rela tive to appointing a mayor if he could. An indefinite movement hidin behind the name of "citizens' com mittee" has got to the point where a meeting has been announced for next Wednesday night in a hall to discuss "the selection of ""a mayof and the recall of Mr. (Charles F.). Hill, and other questions concerning the general, moral and civic condi--tions and welfare of our city." . Mr. Hill is commissioner of finance and at present acting as mayor. Some hold that he is re sponsible for the fact that the city has no mayor, because he will not accept Edward Hoover, who was nominated after some maneuvering at a mass meeting"" two or three weeks after W. A. Jacka resigned as Mayor. v The Practicality of Oriental Rugs FOE THE HOME-MAKER who wants both beauty and dura bility in her floor coverings nothing excels Oriental Eugs, and they should especially commend themselves to those who are now building homes.
