Federal Judge Wolverton yesterday continued the temporary Injunction against striking longshoremen. He modified his former order, however, to permit peaceful picketing- on the part of the strikers. It will now be necea sary to try the Issue In open court, in troducing the personal evidence of wlt ltesses whose testimony was Intro duced in the fonn of affidavits dur ing the hearing of the past three days. It may be September or October before the action for a permanent Injunction can be brought to trial.

Sawyer for the Kan Francisco & Portland Steamship company, the Employers' association ami tns Cham ber of Commerce; Colonel C. E. 8. Wood for the striking loriKuhoremen. longshoremen Are Bert rained. The temporary injunction as modi fled rentralns the striking longshore men from Interference with the busi ness, property op employes of the steamship company. Peaceful picket ing as defined by Judge Wolverton means abstinence from profane, abu lve and intimidating language and pet aonal violence. Though the decision was taken as a victory fBr the plaint iffs. Judge Wolverton held out one element of the hope to the strikers. "If It should appear hereafter." he said, "that the probability or poBaibllity of further violence by the longshoremen has ceased, I will be very glad to re voke the Injunction." Xarge Pickets a Threat. Counsel Spencer for the steamship company asked that the pickets be limited to groups of five. Judge Wol verton refused this request, but saic, "I will offer it merely as a suggestion that a very great number of men In the picket line may be a threat in itself." Colonel C. K. ,S. Wood asked if the striking longshoremen might ascer tain the residences of non-union men now employed by the steamship com pany by openly following their wives home. The court replied that It makes a woman very nervous to be followed, and denied the request, but In re sponse to a further question Indicated he could see no objection to a secret service on the part of the longshore mcn that would enable them to learr. the residences of non-union men with out tho women knowing that they were being' followed. Kay Hot Enter Homes. lie ruled that no union longshore man may enter the home of non-union man without the consent of the lat ter. Colonel Wood assured the judge that there will be no violence, that the picketing will be peaceable, thai wives of non-union men will not lie followed openly and that no non union homes will he .entered without consent by the striker.

Budget for County Roads but Half Gone Expenditures for First Half Tear $330. 680, of "Which $59,261 Was for 1913 Work; Engineering Cost Low. According to the eeml-annual state ment of the county roadmaster there has been expended out of the road fund this year up to July 1 the sum of $330,680. Of this amount 159,261 was applied on bills incurred the pre vious year. A little less than BO per cent of this year's budget has been exhausted.

REPRISALS H IS FEARED MAY BE RESULT OF EXECUTION OF FRYATT German Government Officials Maintain That Captain of Brussels Was f irate, ENGLISH PUBLIC ANGERED Act of Vengeance for Execution Would Frobably Signalize Immediate Re sumption of Submarine "Warfare. Call Fryatt a Pirate. Berlin, July 29. (1. N. 8.) German government officials here today maintained their contention that the execution of Captain Charles Fryatt of the British steamer Brussels, for his action In attempting to ram and clnlc a German subma rine, was entirely justified. Under Germany's warning to merchantmen that they are not entitled to commit acts of war, they contend that Captain Fry att became a pirate when he ordered the submarine rammed. Ry John Edwin Kevin. Washington. July 29. (I. N. S.) The United States cannot take offi cial cognizance of the execution in Germany or Captain Charles Fryatt, who was shot for attempting to ram a German submarine with his mer chant ship, the English steamer Brus sels. Tills was made plain in offi cial circles here today. But while It was explained that the Fryatt execution was a matter entire ly between Germany and England, of ficials here were fearful of the con sequences involving America. It was pointed out that the English public, angered by Fryatt's execution, prob ably would force the court-martialing and execution of the captured com mander of some raiding Zeppelins or submarines that had unk a merchant man without warning. Following the sinking of the Lusi tanla by a German submarine, the conservative element in England had great difficulty In preventing legis lation in parliament designed to class the members of submarine crews as pirates, to be treated accordingly. If any belligerent now starts repri sals, the world's worst orgy of blood i3 feared. Any act of vengeance for Captain Fryatt's execution probably would signalize Immediate resumption of ruthless submarine warfare by Ger many, thus drawing the United States Into further difficulties with that na tion. It Is understood that Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has Been asked to re port fully to the state department on the Fryatt case. WORSE THAN CAVELL CASE 1$ COMMENT OF THE LONDON PAPERS London, July 29. (I. N. S.) The execution by the Germans of Captain Fryatt of the British steamship Brus sels, because of an alleged effort to ram a German submarine, evoked In dignation from the London press. The Times says editorially: "The German government has perpetrated another one of those atrocious acts which wring the heart and arouse Aie bound less indignation of all civilized men." The Dally Mail says: "The murder of Captain Fryatt is the most brutal outrage committed in this war. It surpasses in its naked horror the sink ing of the Lusltanla and the execution of Miss Edith Cavell." The Morning Post says: "The Brit ish are a patient people but thete re peated dastardly outrages are more than they can stand and let the Ger mans be sure that the British mercan tile marine, the British navy and the British nation will not forget these things. They will be visited upon Germany In good time with compound interest." The' Dally News says: "Assume that the charge be irrefutably proved, that the verdict be unassailable, the death by shooting remains an outrage against any Instinct of humanity and every canon of international law." The Dally Chronicle says: "If the object of the German government were to render the British sentimen: abso lutely Implacable toward Germany and to make the German name among us a synonym of Infamy for generations, it could hardly take a straighter way to It than by the murder of Captain Fryatt." Kaiser Confirmed Sentence. London. July 2. (U. P.) That Kaiser Wilhelm himself confirmed the sentence of death found by a court martial trying; Certain Fryatt of the passenger liner Brussels for his at tempt to ram a submarine, waa re ported in a Maastricht dlepatch here today. It strved further to inflame British feeling; against what press and public alike branded as surpassing the execution of Miss Cavell. the British nurse. In cold blooded ferocity. The Maastricht dispatch asserted the Duke of Wurtemburg wired the sentence of death pronounced by the naval courtmartial at Zeebrugge on Fryatt to Imperial headquarter asking for confirmation. The war council. It was stated, granted this confirma tion at once, all Its members, including- the kaiser and General Erich von Falkenhayn, former war minister, agreeing on the Justice of the death sentence. Dutch Denounce Execution. Amsterdam. July 29 (I. N. S. Bitter denunciation of the execution of Captain Charles Fryatt of the Great Eastern Railway Steamship Brussels after trial before a German naval courtmartial was voiced her today in the editorial columns of the Nleuwe Rotterdamsche Courant. "The execution of Captain Fryatt,' said the editorial, "may be In com formlty with German moral teachings, but from a human standpoint It is ln- fenslble. Fryatt was forced by a mer ciless German submarine warfare to defend nis ship against attacks whtch meant destruction and death to all on board. His execution wag sheer in justice." Nine-Dead in Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wis... July 29. (TJ. P.) Nine deaths due to the heat were re ported to tha. of flclala durlnar th lncr 14 hours. Tne thermometer reached 92 this morning when a cooling lake breeze again gave a little relief. Fac tories closed down and business is at a standstill. HUNGARIAN LEADER FORMS PEACE PARTY B Ml 'IrJr ? U' ; 4-' 'S ' $ Si COVtfT MJCHAEly JtiJ?OT.-VT London, July 29. Count ilicliael Karolyi, successor of Kossuth in tn? fight for Hungarian independence, has begun an agitation for immediate peace between .Hungary and her enemies with or without the consent of Ger many and Austria. County Karolyi, says a Budapest dis- i patch to the "Morning Tost," has re signed from the presidency of the Hungarian Independence party and win demand peace without delay. Seventy members of the Hungarian parliament, the dispatch adds, are enrolled al ready ia the new party's ranks. A sensation was caused In the Hun garian parliament on December 7, when County Karolyi demanded that the government make peace proposals to the enemy powers. He argued that Hungary had achieved everything sn desired by the war, had saved the country from invasion and had pre served the monarchy and throne, and that the Hungarians had a perfect right to come forward with their claims for compensation.

LOSS TO OREGON BY CROP FLAX FAILURE MAY REACH $15,000 Exact Figures Will Not Be Available Until Insurance Is Collected, J. C. -CADY IS BLAMED About Half of tli Crop Waa Damaged When Ho Tried to Set Zt Z.ast Wiater. Salem, Or., July 29. Two items re main to be settled before it will be definitely known just the extent of the financial failure of the state's flax experiment. In connection with the state penitentiary. These two Items are tre. amount of insurance that may be collected for the flax which was destroyed by fire, and the bum that may be received for the flax see.d and tow that are still on hand. If very favorable returns are ob tained on both items, the extent of the failure due to apparent mismanage ment of the whole flax experiment will be greater than anyone expected. This was clearly brought out at the meeting of the slate board of control yester day. For the flax experiment and road work, the last legislature, at the re quest Of Governor Withycombe, appro priated $50,000. Up to June 30, 38, 1S3.3S had been spent for flux, and $10,049.39 for roads. Of the amount spent on the flax experiment, H2. -954.05 was spent for machinery and items classified o Improvements, leaving $25, 229. S3 for expenses. The total sales from the crop amount to $8445.00. In other words, as the matter now stands, and by placing the inventory of the plant at par, the state Is $16 -784.27 behind. This will be reduced somewhat by the collection of the in surance -mentiontd and the sale of the tow and seed on hand. Xioss Xs Estimated. It is estimated the loss will run between $1U,000 and $15,000. Secretary Goodin of the board, has arranged for a meeting of his com mittee with 'the insurance adjuster next Tuesday, at which time It is ex pected an agreement will be reached as to the amonut of flax that was de stroyed and Its value. On the com mittee with Goodin are Flax Manager J. C. Cady, Warden Mlnto of the pen itentiary and Guard Walter Johnson. Manager Cady says 71 tons of flax straw were burned. Warden Minto told the board he guessed between 20 and 30 tons were burned. Manager Cady also says there is on hand 873 bushels of liber flax seed, worth $1746, and 76.982 pounds of sec ond and third grade .tow, worth $2362.24. Secretary Goodin said he thought the estimate on the amount of tow waa too high. It was brought out at the board meeting yesterday that Cady'i. appar ent blindness to the extent he has in jured the flax and his conseouent over. estimates of the amount of fiber that would be produced was a direct cause of adding to the financial loss by the state. Half of Crop Damag-ed, About half the flax crop was dam aged by Cady's attempt to ret it last winter. Samples of this were sent to the California Cotton Mills company, which agreed to buy all the fiber at 20 cents a pound. Cady said he could furnish, from the winter-retted flax, 12,000 pounds, and the manufacturers were so notified. When the rest of the flax was ret ted in the spring, an offer of 41 cents a pound was received for it. But Cady had so far overestimated the amount of fiber he would have that all of the fiber from the winter retted flax and all of the fiber from the spring retting were sent to the California company, and them the order was but little more than half filled. Theodore Roth, director of the in dustrial department of the Salem Com. merclal club and head of one of tne largest business houses in 8alem, at tributes the state's failure in its first year's experiment in flax directly to the Incompetency of Cady. "These results should not be taken as a criterion of what may be expected of tho flax industry in the Willamette valley." said Mr. Roth. "The failure has resulted from mismanagement." Mr. Roth has taken a great dal of interest in the development of the flax industry here. He took an active part in securing from the legislature the flax appropriation. As head of the Industrial department of the Salem Commercial club, all flax matters com lng before the club have gone through his hands. And last, but not least, he is demonstrating his interest in the in dustry by engaging in It himself. Has Commercial Tains. This year Mr. Roth and his asso ciates are growing 20 acres of flax on a commercial basis, entirely independ ent of the state's experiment. They have employed their own flax expert, have provided their own machinery, and expect to demonstrate this year that the industry can be made a money maker for this valley. Before next year they expect to organize a large company to go into the business on an extensive scale. Mr. Roth said there was nothing per sonal in his criticism of the work done by Cady, but that Cady's mismanage ment of the flax business was so evi dent it should be proclaimed as the true reason for the very poor showing made by the state. "If we did not know the cause for the results obtained by the state, Mr. Cady's report would be very discour aging to business men who considered investing in the flax industry in Ore gon." he said.

San Francisco, July 29. (P. N. S.) That Johnny Coulon- of Chicago is through as a contended In any rln? was the unanimous verdict of those who saw Eddie Campl, the San Fran cisco featherweight, finish off old-time boxer at Daly City the last night. The fight was an uninteresting ex hibition, the fourth and last session showing the only lively work. For three rounds Coulon stalled, while Campi loafed. In the fourth Campl woke up and applied the finishing touches to the Chicago boxer, gaining a decision by a wide margin. Coulon weighed in at 118 pounds at 6 o'clock, while Campl was two pounds over that figure. Coulon, at the last moment, re fused to go on with the fight unless it was called a draw If both men were on their feet at the end of four rounds. Referee Tommy Laird gave i Coulon the "double cross," by giving the verdict to Campi at the end of the fourth, gaining the approval of the crowd. Coulon also collected Campl's forfeit because the San Fran cisco man did not make the weight. Coulon did not do himself any good by employing the tactics he recently adopted in his bout at Portland with Billy Mascott, who fights here next Friday night.

About 12 league players will (O it the majors next year, about the same number as were graduated lafct year. But close observers figure that the amount of money that will he brought by the sale of this year's playors will enormously exceed that from last ycar'a sales. x- Kvery club In the league has at least one player who will bring In the open market at least 11000 more than the waiver price of ,2600. And e tW of them msy brine; five figures. Oulsto Zs Host Valuable. V lyouis Guisto, the Portland first baseman, is undoubtedly the moit VAl liable player In the league. Manager McCredte has already refused an offer of IU',000 for him. and It Is believed' by many that he could be eclil for 115,000. Three clubs the Chicago Americans. Pittsburg Nationals and ChlcaKO Cubs would part with that much money to pet him, It la believed. Next in value is "Ping" Bodlo, whose' fame as a "fence buster" has been spread from California to the Atlantic. Recently It was announced that Man aRer Hnrry AVolverton of the San Kran ci.seo Seals had refused $10,000 for Bodle. "Swede" Risberg of Vernon Is high ly regarded in the east, and when the Chicago White Hog take him over next fall, it is expected that he will bring- $7.r.00. Speed" Martin, the sentatlonal Oakland pitcher, will also bring a big price. Owner Leavltt of the Oakland dub announced sometime ago that he was offered $10,000 for the boy. This may be an exaggerated offer, but U is believed Martin can easily bt gold for $7600. , ' , Ellis Johnson, Vernon's "cannonball pitcher, will undoubtedly bring 14000, and Msrty McGafflgan of the same club $4600. There Is a flock Of play, ers who nre brlieved to be worth $3000 apiece, while Harrjr Wolter. who wants another rhance at the major leagues, may bring $4000.
