Austria Hastens Message Af
ter Informed U. S. Unable
to Understand Long Delay
in the matter of Recall.
CELIEVED AMBASSADOR
WILL BE CALLED HOME
State Department Would Not
Object to Diplomat Going
on Leave to Report.
Washington. Sept. 23. (I. N. 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 receipt of this Information fol
lowed a hint from thla government to
Austria that It did not quite under
atand the delay In answering the re
quest for the recall.
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.
Expects Satisfactory Battlement.
,Tri however Auatrla sends a friendly
nij, ("forming thla government that
".be (jolJolded to recall Dr. Dumba
on report. 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.

With the. arrest and confession yes

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.

In addition to tnese two, confes
sions hae been obtained from about
10 others, some of whom are In Jail

Among those who tiave confessed

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.

The attorney arrived and put up at

New York, Sept. 25. (U. P.) Nearly
a whole block of Broadway In tha heart
of the white light district suddenly

Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets.
Five persons were seriously Injured,

West Suffers Because In

Fight against supervision of
United States delays water-
power development.
Those who Insist upon fed
eral control of waterpower de

on navigable streams will not
impose harsh conditions.,
The question is not one of
state rights but a purely prac

use of land and water, if the
United States owns the land, it

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

conditions.
Senator Poindexter was unable to at

discussions. The question of state
rights, he said, was purely academic.
The whole question should be dis
