Was hi, July S. City Clerk Nickeus is ' temporarily - restrained today from proceeding with the recall election against Councilman ' A. U. .Mills by an order issued, by Superior Judge Card, and the city clerk Is re quired to appear in court next Wed nesday and show cause why he should not be permanently enjoined. The injunction attacks the validity of tbe recall movement ' from many angles. It Is the contention of Mill's counsel that the. recall workers made vital errors In a dozen places. It Is charged that the petitions filed are in sufficient inasmuch as the state law requires signatures numbering 25 per cent of the vote cast at the last elec tion. It is alleged also that there are three distinct forgeries on the peti tions, and that 300 signers have re moved from the city since signing the papers and that 11 have died.

" He had held up tbe train as It was traveling between Spencer and Dubois, J Idaho. He had been captured by a vli- ' lag constable and .handcuffed. The 'constable turned the robber over to Hhe train conductor laying the gun on ' the seat behind him. Whitney grasped 'the opportunity in a flash. As the con ductor turned to give the starting sig ; rial, the bandit stooped, his cuffed " hands searching behind him for the revolver. In an Instant he found it. turned and fired awkwardly, yet ac curately. The conductor fell dead. iWhitney pulled the train cord; the eh glneer made an emergency stop. He iaeaped from the train, firing behind ' him as he ran, and made his escape. r Lacking provisions, guns and ammu nition the Whitney boys' method was . to come down out of the mountains The sketch shows tattoo on right arm, of dead bandit The man who was 'killed has a crimi nal ear lobe, long and ' grown ' to, the head its entire length.' Whitney's ear is more generously golded and the lobe is square. His eyebrows and his nose are straighter and finer than the dead man's.. There is no surplus flesh about Whitney's face or neck; there are rolls of flesh that tell a story of indulgent living on the dead man's neck. There is more similarity between pictures of Charles Whitney, brother of Hugh, and the - dead man, but here, again, are round many points or dissimilarity, mortem photographs secured by The Journal show a man whose - hair is straight and partedon the side, while Whitney's is curly and parted in the middle. The mouth of the man wno Was killed is thick lipped and self- indulgent Whitney's ialose . lipped, resolute, crnel, set in a down, curve. knot,, not' given much to long talks. or conversations, does not indulge In drinking very much, but a habitual cigarette smoker; prefers to male "his own." The description of Charles, his brother. Is very much the same. Senate Committee ' Would Be Consulted Secretary of War to Be Asked as to the Hetfeod of Tilling Vacancies 1st Sigh Army Posts.

Portland Brewing Go. Washington, July 3. In the basic elements of economic progress the United States ranks high among the nations of the world, being one of -the five countries only which, have an area m excess of 3.000,000 square miles, and the only nation of the western world (except Bussla). having a popu lauoa or over 100,000.000.. In the in terchange of products among its own people it leads the world, its home trade at the present time being esti mated at nearly 340.000,000,000, or eqQal to the international exchanges of tbe world and approximately ten times the value of our own foreign trade, now valued at 34,000.000.000. That our present foreign trade is far short of the. immediate, possibilities of tne nation is evident from a considera tion of Its area, commerce and other economic factors in comparison with that of other leading countries, as set forth in comparative tables published in the Statistical Abstract of the United States. 1913. compiled by the bureau of foreign and domes tio com merce, department of commerce. Thus the present export trade of the United States, $2,600,000,000, represents about 125 per capita. A per capita basis equal to that of Argentina would raise the export power of the United States to $5,000,000,000: and one equal to that of Belgium -would bring its exports to ' $10,000,000,000 a year; while our aggregate .foreign trade, when upon a per capita basis as large as that of Canada, would, ba considerably over 313,000.000.000 a year. - - Ores test Hallway miaage. Other comparative, tables in the Sta tistical Abstract . further . .emphasize the commercial power of the United. States and its strong international po sition. In railway milegae, for exam ple, we possess one third of the world's total, our 258,000 miles being ten times as much as the mileage of the United Kingdom and six limes that of Germany. One company alone has 238,000 miles of telegraph lines, or double the total in Russia,' next in or der, v .

A .Temporary recessions have frequent, ly marked the course of American com merce, but the tendency,. according: to historical tables published in the Sta-J tlstlcal Abstract, is -ever higher. In 11 years, from 1890 to ISO), our foreign trade grew from 3L500.000.OOO to '38. 250,000,000. an Increase of 50 per cent while in the 11 years from' 1902 to 1913 it increased from 32.250f000.000 to 34, 250.000,000. a gain of 90' per cent.
