S.) Tha state department has received word that the Austrian reply to the request of this government for the recall of Dr. Dumba, th Austrian ambassador to the United States, has baen started on Ita way. It was an nounced at the department that the reply la expected any moment.

The department received an Infor mal Inquiry from the Austrian for eign office asking If It would arrange fof safe conduct for Ambassador Dum ba. Muchl Depends on Beply. It was quick to aend back word that ilt must decline to discuss the sub ject until It had received an answer to Its requeat for the recall of the embassador. It la asaumed at the department that the delay la due to Austria's delibera tion as to whether she will recall him unconditionally or "on leave of absence," as the ambassador himself requested. On her decision depends the future course of thla government toward Dr. Dumba. If Ajrftrla attempts to de fend his activities it Is considered likely that the state department will hand him his passports.

It la believed her decision would -H1icepUbIa ' to- this government. The view in dlplomatlo circles Is that this would be a reasonable stand for Austria to take. Inasmuch as she has had no opportunity to hear her ambassador's side of the case and would be entitled to receive his ex planations before finally makl" up her mind as to the nature of her re ply. It was announced at the department that It expects the case to be settled satisfactorily in a short time, afa Faasage for Wife. This is taken to mean that it has had an intimation of the contents of the forthcoming Austrian reply and lmds it acceptable. Ambassador Jueserand of France called on Acting Secretary Polk today and Informed him that provision had been made for safe conduct of Mme. Dumba, wife of the ambassador, as if quested by the department several days ago. Ambassador Jusserand spoke for Great Britain also.

NET TIGHTENING ABOUT FIR E OFFICIALS STATE Confession Said to Have Been Obtained From California Prisoners That They Fired Houses to Get Insurance. GETTING EVIDENCE HAD SENSATIONAL FEATURES Story of Running Down Clues Sounds Like Sherlock Holmes Adventure. Oakland Frlaonera Confeas. Oakland, Cal., Sept 25. (U. P.) Under hours of third de gree grilling Lester Burright and his wife, Jeanne, confessed to the police today that they were members of an arson ring which operated allng the Pa cific Coast and swindled furni ture men and insurance com panies out of heavy sums by burning down homes after heav ily Insuring furniture bought on the installment plan. Their confession proved they were connected with Sandford W. Currier, now under indict ment at Portland, Or., for arson. as members of the big ring. Burrlght's attorney has threat ened action against the authori ties for refusing to admit him while the third degree was pro ceeding With the. arrest and confession yes terday of Charles Lester Burright and his wife, Jeanne Burright, at Oakland, Cal., the authorities say the net is gradually tightening around members of the alleged arson ring which ha been operating In Pacific coast c!ti?s, according to Jay W. Stevens, Port land's fire marshal. While many are said to be impli cated In the alleged ring and several have already confessed to having taken part In setting houses on fire, Stevens believes that the ringleaders of the alleged aisonlats are In jail. A few more arresta are expected but these WIH- be of prsmeVe"-ald, used as tools or "who got their inspi rations from the ringleaders. In Portland the grand Jury has brought indictments against Sanford W. Currier, Montie Keeney, George L. Woolette, William Stewart, F. W. Castle, while under arrfst In Cali fornia, are Barright and 'vlfe. Confessions are said to have been ob tained from those under arrest here Implicating James Barnlman. a well- ! to-do merchant of Richmond, Cal. Currier Has Confessed. Currier, who is said t6 have been the head of the alleged ring, has already confessed to setting fire to a house on Saginaw Heights in 1913. while Stewart has confessed to setting fire to a residence at 1352 Greeley street. on August 17 of this year. In addition to tnese two, confes sions hae been obtained from about 10 others, some of whom are In Jail and some released on their own rec ognizance pending call by the district attorney's office. Among those who tiave confessed to setting fires are two men whose names are being withheld. One is an ex-mail carrier of Butte, Mont, and the other a Portland plumber. These confessions corroborate confes sions or statements made by others under arrest and Involve several who are expected to be in custody soon. Department Susplclona. The attempt of William Stewart to burn the dwelling on Greeley street in August was th "beginning of the end," for the members of the alleged arson ring. The fire caused the mem bers of the fire company responding to the blaze that night to become suspicious. They had orders to call Fire Mar shal Stevens in all cases of "sus picious'' fire and when Stevens ar rived on the scene early In the morn ing Stewart was trying to get Into the house, but was being prevented by the firemen on guard. A look at the interior of the house was enough for Stevens. Newspapers had been crammed into corners cf the rooms and saturated with oil. Owing to a poor draft the fire did not make great headway. Stevens immediately openly accused Stewart of setLing the fire. That started the fireworks "vhich landed the ringleaders of the alleged ring Jn jail and caused their indict ments :bytheg rand Jury. Currier Arrested Currier was the first to be arrested. When he saw that the authorities knew of some of his workings, he con fessed. Then Stevens, the "arson squad,'' consisting of Captain W. a. Groce. Lieutenant E. J. Treec and Captain F. A. Roberts, assisted by Dis trict Attorney Evans and Deputy Dis trict Attorney Charles Robison, started to round up the others. They worked night and day, tracing down every clue that came into their hands until now most of the leaders of the alleged gang have been either arrested or under surveillance. The way they ran down clues and followed suspects would have caused Sherlock Holmes to turn green with, envy. The "stunts' they did to get Information would have done Justice to "Old King Brady" or "Nick Carter." It was not very many days ago that Stevens and the others received word that an attorney retained by those under arrest in California was on his way to Portland to Interview Currier to learn what he had told ahput the operations of the alleged ring of arsonists. Steven a Becomes Jitney. The attorney arrived and put up at a prominent downtown hotel. Stevens and his men were at work Stevens had only a few days before . (Concluded on page Nine.

New York, Sept. 25. (U. P.) Nearly a whole block of Broadway In tha heart of the white light district suddenly collapsed tonight over a portion of the new subway In process of construc tion. Two automobiles and a number of pedestrians were hurled Into the 30 foot pit that suddenly yawned between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets. Five persons were seriously Injured, one of whom, an unidentified woman, died after reaching a hospital. Charles Nelson was crossing the street when tt gave way. He was removed to a hos pital suffering from a fractured rib and probably internal Injuries. Subway Worker Crushed.

He slipped part way into the hole and suf fered from badly lacerated legs. New York's Second Care-In. A fourth injured man was lifted from the uebris at 9 o'clock and taken away in an ambulance.

United States Senator Miles Poindex ter, of Washington, haa Issued a state ment at Spokane declaring that the fight of the water power Interests on the Ferris bill and against federal su pervision has delayed and obstructed water power development. The west is suffering, he says, as a result of the selfish effort of the power interests to resist federal con trol, because great enterprises will not be undertaken until the question of state and federal control is settled. Senator Poindexter says that the friends of the Ferri bill, while Insist ing on federal control, are not endeav oring to impose harsh or impractical conditions. Senator Poindexter was unable to at ttnd the Portland water power confer, ence, but was greatly interested in the discussions. The question of state rights, he said, was purely academic. The whole question should be dis cussed, he said, as a practical business proposition. Senator Poindexter's statement follows: Senator Foindexter'a Interview.

The motorman caught the first wave In the timbers and put on full power. His car rushed forward and shot by Thirty-ninth etreet at dizzy speed. An Instant later a whole section of the street fell In with a roar, and the en tire line sagged badly and threatened to give way. The rear trucks of the car had just cleared the ragging tim bers.

Rockefeller, Jr fagged after a week's tour of his Southern Coasrado coal camps, arrived safely late to night. He left the train at Fort Logan and was taken direct to the ranch of a friend for a rest Sunday before holding several days' conferences with officials and miners' representatives In Denver, beginning Monday. The location of the ranch was kept secret at Rockefellers request, to avoid attracting cranks. w J I j. Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 25. (V. P.)

Rockefeller Jr. Hb expects to confer with officUla lri Denver next week regarding what he has seen. Rockefeller's plans for betterments. if any, are locked in his brain. The best efforts of a half dozen newspaper men from several large cities who ac companied the millionaire since he Btarted out at Trinidad Monday failed to gain an insight to his decisions. Sotting Radical Contemplated. From several Indications and from sources in Rockefeller's confidence, not much hope wm entertained that any- tning radical was contemplated. The barren, sunbaked camps.

Sympathy with any move ment among the men to help them-1 selves to better wages and shorter hours was not evidenced on the trip, except the measure of organization al- I lowed the miners under company su pervision. Calls Employes "Partners." Subjects like unionism and politics were adroitly avoided by 'Rockefeller. He kept faithfully to hia announced plan of meeting his "partners." as he repeatedly called his employes. In that respect there never was such a tour in Colorado. Rockefeller made up for eleven years of absentee land lordism by meeting nearly every em ploye and their families. He thoroughly inspected camps and saw how miners ate, bathed, slept, worked and played and himself afford ed not a little pleasure to the various camps by attending dances and enter tainments, cracking Jokes, promising to erect bandstands and shaking hands with all kinds and classes of employes. TrUa Band at Pick. Rockefeller went down In his mines, tried his hand with the pick, ate at the camp boarding houses, slept In miners' homes and autoed hundreds of miles through the blis tering sun or cold rain. Rockefeller has been unmindful of attacks In a few newspapers, charg ing him with being a disciple of pa ternalism and of seeking- publicity for hia spectacular tour, and criti cism in the Industrial relationa com mission.
