TARIFF VEXING PROBLEM
Business Improving, but Sinistei
Possibilities for All Concerned .;
Are Seen in Strikes.
BY "MARK SULLIVAN.
tCopyrlght by the New Fork 'Evening
Poet. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 22.
(Special.) We are within six or
seven weeks of the time when the
democratic and republican parties
will be contesting before the public
for control of the lower house of
oongress. Just what will be the
issue or issues between the two
parties is not yet clear to the pub
lic or to the party leaders them
selves. Each party has its campaign com
mittee at work; each is soliciting
funds for the campaign (with rather
less success in the cases of both
parties than in the past, it may be
said, incidentally); each party has
official spokesmen who give out
utterances on various public ques
tions as they arise; but the repub
lican party has not formulated nor
crystallized the p-latform on which
it is to ask for a new lease o
power, nor has the democratic par
ty formulated or crystallized a plat
form on which it is to ask for a
transfer of power.
On the tariff there is a fairly clear
alignment between the parties. The
alignment of the democrats in oppo
sition to the present tariff bill is
rather more clear than the align
ment of the republicans in favor of
it. In other words, the democrats in
the senate will vote against the
present tariff bill more nearly sol
idly than the' republicans will vote
In favor of it.
Some Defection Likely.
" Wlhen the final vote comes on the
tariff, the only defections likely to
appear In the democratic ranks will
be from Louisiana and possibly one
or two iTom other states. For the
democratic eenators from Louisiana
to vote for a protective tariff has
little significance. They usually do
bo. On the republican side, ..how
ever, there will be defections, lar
ger in number and more significant
in their character. These defections
may Include some surprising ones
from eastern states. Nevertheless,
in spite of these aberrations', the
alignment on the tariff will come
as close to composing a sharp and
definite issue between the two par
ties aa commonly occurs.
The question, ihoweyer is whether
there will be an equally sharp align
ment on the part of the public. The
bulk of the evidence provided by
members of the lower house of con
gress, who are now on vacations in
their borne districts, is that the pub
lic Is only Just beginning to show
much interest in the tariff.. So far
as this interest is being shown, it
follows the customary lines of
cleavage, although there is in New
England and the east a good deal
of opposition to the present tariff
among elementB who in previous
years have been counted on as the
stanchest supporters of republican
tariffs.
Convictions Yet Unformed.
The real question is whether the
public, by October, will have begun
to think and talk about the tariff
with sufficient vol-uma and intensity
of feeling to make it' a real cam
paign issue, capable of enlisting
strong interest and bringing out a
large vote. It Is largely a matter
of the time required for the public
to become familiar with the tariff

Victoria, B. C, Astronomer Spots
Giant Luminaries 52 Quad
rillion Miles Away.
VICTORIA, B. C, July 22. "Twin
suns," 52 quadrillion miles from the
earth, have been discovered by Dr.
J. S. Plaskett, director of the Do
minion of Canada's astrophyslcal
observatory here, through the ob
servatory's big 72-inch reflector
telescope, It was announced today.
Scientists here said the discovery
was one of the outstanding astro
nomical achievements of recent
years. The guns have been named
Plaskett, for their discoverer.
Dr. Plaskett has estimated that
the suns burn at a temperature of
30,000 degrees Fahrenheit as they
whirl around one another. One, the
more massive, is believed to be 76
times the bulk of our sun. The
lesser is 63 times heavier. ..
One is 15,000 times as bright as
the sun, the other 12,000 times as
bright. Plaskett, Dr.'Tlaskett esti
mates, is more than five time as
large as any other known heavenly
body. '
Reducing the figures to' modern
terms, scientists pointed but that an
airplane, traveling 200 miles an
hour, would require 30,000 million
years to travel from the earth to
the newly discovered planets. Light,
traveling at thejate of 186,000 miles
a second requires more than 6000
years fr the passage.
The announcement of the discov
ery quotes Professor Harold Jacoby
of Columbia university as charac
terizing it "the most outstanding of
recent astronomical discoveries,"
and as declaring that the measure
ments recorded by Dr. Plaskett must
be accepted as most reliable.
TWO ARE ELECTROCUTED
Zinc Bathtub, Waterpipe and
Metal Lamp Make Circuit.
FRANKFORT, 'Germany,. July 22.
Electrocution snuffed out the lives
of a young married couple yesterday
in an unusual accident. Both bodies
were found in a bathroom and in
vestigation revealed that the zinc
bath tub, a water pipe and a port
able metal lamp, stand figured in
completing the fatal electrical cir
cuit
The wife had grasped the lamp,
which was of defective construction,
with her wet hands as she was about
to leave the tub and was immediate
ly electrocuted, since the pipe lead
ing from the tub completed the cir
cuit to the ground.
The husband was killed -when he
took hold of the lamp in trying to
assist his wife.
WOMAN MARRIES PAIR
Clarke County Probation Officer
Performs First Ceremony.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 22.
(Special.) Miss Ruth V. Bollinger,
Clarke county's new probation of
ficer and an ordained minister, to
day performed her. first marriage
ceremony since she took office. She
officiated at the wedding of Loren
E. Ellis and Miss lva J. Utterberg,
both of Portland. '
Miss Bollinger is not only an
efficient probation officer, but is
young and attractive. Mr. Ellis and
his bride-to-be were much aston
ished when they found that' they
were to be married by a pretty pro
bation officer rather than by Judge
Simpson, whom they sought. They

WhisKy Found in Car
After Multi-Smash.
DRIVER IS HELD INTOXICATED
Wreck Occurs in Heavy
Traffic on Bridge.
HIGH SPEED ALLEGED
Witnesses Vary From 30 to 45
Miles an" Hour in Versions. ,
Pair Face Court-Martlal.
Two army officers from Van
couver barracks. Captain T. A. Har
ris and Captain Mack M. Lynch,
were arrested by Patrolman Atkin
son at 8 o'clock last night when
their automobile, in . which they
were speeding east acrbss" the
Broadway bridge, ran into and
wrecked three other automobiles on
the east approach. A fourth car
also was struck, but1 only slightly
damaged.
T. Hirsch, special officer, who
witnessed the accident, searched the
car and found one full bottle of
moonshine whisky and another bot
tle partially full. According to the
police, Captain Lynch was badly in
toxicated at the time of the accident
and Captain Harris also had been
drinking, although he was not as far
gone as Lynch. -
Bridge Jammed at Time.
Testimony Irom eye witnesses
varied as .to the speed at which the
machine was traveling, some saying
that the car was going 46 miles an
hour and other putting the speed at
a conservative estimate of, 30 miles
an hour. The multi-collision oc
curred when the bridge was jammed
with automobiles and traffic was
blocked for 100 yards in both direc
tions for a quarter of an hour after
ward. '.
The two captains were returning
to the army post from Portland. As
they crossed the bridge at a high
rate of speed, two other machines,
traveling abreast and both headed
east, blocked their path, and Lynch,
who was driving, attempted to swing
out to the left to pass them. In do
ing so, he caused the car to swerve
first to the left and then to the
right. Then the car, which'is owned
by Captain Harris, side-swiped a
machine driven and owned by W. W.
Bender, 328 Pine street.
Another Car Is Struck.
Swerving on its way it struck an
other car, driven by M. B. Byron
253 West Park street, damaging it
slightly, and did not stop until it
brought up, head on, against the car
of W. S. Buckles, 428 Chicago
street. Captain Harris' car bounded
over against a bridge support and
wrapped itself partially around
that. The rear fender and one rear
wheel of Bender's car were smashed
pretty badly and the Buckles car
suffered a badly smashed radiator
and frame. Captain Harris' car was
almost a total wreck. k -
The. surprising part of the triple
collision was that only one person
was hurt, but so slightly 'as not to
require medical attention. He was
Byron Buckles, 9-year-old son of M.
B. Byron. His lip was slightly cut
by flying glass. Other' passengers
in the cars were thrown from their
seats, but were not hurt. . .
," Doctors Arrive on Scene.
'
Officers and doctors arrived on
the scene a few minutes after the
accident and Captain Harris. .and
Captain Lynch were placed under
arrest- immediately.. Lynch was
charged with driving while intoxi
cated and held under $500 bail. Cap
tain Harris was charged with viola
tion of the prohibition laws and
was held on S250 hail.
An angry crowd collected about
the four wrecked cars and the police
had some difficulty in getting to the

SOME
Other Half Believes1 Stone Woman
Was Used' as Road Ballast
and Is Worth No More.
YONKERS, N. Y., July 22. (By
the Associated .Press.) The statue
which was dug ,up in Greystone,
Samuel Untermyer's estate, is divid
ing this city .against itself. ,
Half the populace refuses to be
lieve it dates any farther back than
some early Tohkers " period. The
other is of the opinion that it was
made in Greece anywhere from 1500
to 2000 years ago. ' ' ;
It may be Ceres or Demeter .or
some other mythological lady, says
one section of the city, but It's more
likely to prove valuable only as
plain road ballast, the other side
maintains. '''
The citizens agree on only two
features. First, that a statue was
found; second, that it was found by
a gang of workmen who dug up
a water main.
Whether it was1 on top of the
main or underneath is disputed. So
far it has been seen by only four
persons aside from the workmen
who dug it up. . ' ...',,
No. 1 is Isidor Konti, a sculp
tor. -Konti says it's Greek; that it
dates from the Praxiteles, or some
such noted sculptor; that it is
either Ceres or Demeter.
Number two is Rudolph Bicke-

Flames of Undetermined Origin
' Get Beyond Control Before
Volunteers, Arrive.
PRESCOTT, Wash., July 22. Ap
proximately $375,000 loss was sus
tained by . the Portland Flouring
Mills company here today when its
local mill was entirely destroyed by
fire starting from an undetermined
cause at 6:30 P. M. in warehouse
No. 3.
The flames were uncontrollable
before volunteer,, fighters could be
assembled to battle them.
The flour mill, four warehouses,
a grain elevator, the office and the
dwelling ofE. F. Dunlap, Prescott
manager, were totally destroyed by
the flames. Firefighters were sum
moned from Waitsburg and- other
neighboring towns, but the flames
spread so rapidly that no help could
be given. The whole fire lasted
scarcely more than an hour.
The fire was thought to have
started from a hot box at the top
of one of the warehouses.
There were between 40,000 and
50,000 bushels of wheat stored in
the warehouses, and more than
2000 barrels of flour.
Grass fires threatened neighbor
ing buildings in the city, but were
easily put out by the firemen. The
loss, was covered by insurance.

Warrant for Mr. White
Signed by Nephew.
TRIAL TO BE IN OCTOBER
Defendant and Governor
Still Close Friends. -.
EACH FIRM, HOWEVER
Newspaper Man Says Strike Pla
card Will Not Be Shown, But
Adds That Jjaw Is Unjust.
EMPORIA, Kan., July 22. (By
the Associated Press.) A warrant
was served today on William Allen
White, author and editor, chargins
him with violation of the indus
trial court law in displaying a
placard sympathizing1 with . the
striking railroad shopmen. Mr.
White, through his attorney, im
mediately gave bond for hia appear
ance when the case is called for trial
in district court here next October.
The warf ant signed by County At
torney Roland Boynton, a nephew
of Mr. White's, was issued on an in
formation filed by a representative
of Governor Henry J. Allen, lifelong
friend of Mr. White.
Sttneraent Is Given Ont.
In a statement given out when the
warrant was issued, Mr. White said
the objectionable placard would not
be displayed pending legal settle
ment of the case. The statement
explained . that this action was "no
compromise absolutely no acknowl
edgment of the right of the state to
suppress free utterance, published in
decent and orderly manner," but
followed "a profound belief in law
and legal processes."
'Several days ago Mr. White posted
the placard in a window of his news
paper office, the Gazette. The yel
low poster announced "We are for
the striking railroad man 50 per
cent?! Mr. White said he would add
1 per cent each day as the shopmen's
strike continued, declaring "the
right to free utterance of honest
opinions is a fundamental right."
I.nvr Held Violated.
.But Governor Allen, his friend,
publicly and personally for many
years, and the companion of the ed
itor on a European trip during the
world war, differed in his interpre
tation of the industrial court act. Ue
held that displaying the sympathy
card in the uazette window was a
violation of the picketing clause of
the industrial court law, and de
clared Mr. White had the wrong
"slant" in the matter.
The governor said he did not be
lieve forbidding display of such
cards was an attack on free speech
as his author friend contended. He
declared, no exception could bi
made, that Mr. White must be ar
rested for violation of the law. '
Conference la Deadlocked. v
A conference held at Emporia last
'night between the "seconds" of Mr..
White and Mr. Allen resulted in a
deadlock. Mr. White, through his
representative, informed the gov
ernor's emissary that he would not
back down. When informed of this,
the governor said he would cause
Mr. White's arrest if the placard
was still up teday. It was.
Throughout it all, the governor
and Editor White have reiterated
that there was no personal feeling
between them, . declaring that their
personal friendship has not been
affected by-their difference of opin
ion over interpretation of the law.
Plaemrd Is) Removed.
.. Immediately after the warrant for
his arrest-had been served Mr. White
removed from display the .placard
which today expressed 62 per cent
sympathy with striking., railroad
men. -Yesterday it read "50 per
cent," the day before "49 per cent."
Mr. White gave bond in the sum

have anything to say today."
At Los Angeles Evan first ad
mitted, with a smile, that she has
been aware that the friendship be
tween "Sonny" Whitney and Marie -Norton
would result in the recently
announced engagement of the couple.
Rival Declared Charming.
"I met Miss Norton once," she
said, "and she impressed me as
a very charming person.
r "I am in no sense undeceived by
the confirmation of the fact that
Sonny and Miss Norton are to marry.
I decided long ago sensibly, I
think to dismiss ..Whitney from my
mind. It was a struggle but I did
it. So anger and desire for revenge
