A general strike werit Into effect here today as a protest against the treat ment of Irish prisoners In the Mount Toy jail.

Even 1 the government departments to as to ,wers affected as the strike spread . the clerks. The malls were held up. ? train service was paralyzed. A number of ships were unable leave their piers. - A feature of the movement was a "strike" of school students. 4 Sir Nevil MacReady, new commander tn-chlef !of the British troops In Ireland, arrived jhere today. , Industrial- conditions In Cork, Water ' ford, Limerick and Derry were com . pletely stagnated, as well as In Dublin. - The railway rtrikers held a proces-,- slon here, marching through the princi pal streets. r Dublla was without Jlght during the night I . The Funchestown races, the most im ; portant Irish turf event of the year, could not be held.

The chairman of the Mount Joy prison j and the visiting justices and medical , r officers have resigned. ' Oulja's mysteries vanished in thin air when j six students of psycnology at Reed college and several disinterested persons spent an afternoon communing with the gifted -creature recently, and the conclusion arrived at indicates that oulja boards possess no power that can not be explained by science. "Ouija boards, as commonly viewed, are bunk," declared Severln Peterson, a Reed senior, whose psychic researches along ! other lines have been published snd widely read. "Whenever oulja spells a word, that word has been at the crest of consciousness In the medium, uncon sciously controlling his or her hands. In many instances, the messages are 'framed' beforehand,- and naively pur ported to be direct from the spirit world. A common sense attitude cred its oulja's antics to the mental pranks of the medlnm." Peterson .was silent on the question of mental telepathy when the oulja, in his hands, spelled out "Bacon." ths cor rect answer to the question, "Whom did Frank Flint. Reed's representative at Oxford, entertaind last month V Word was recently received by Miss S. A Bacon of the - Reed laculty. that her brother had been Flint's guest at Ox ford, and only one person in the room knew of the fact Peterson's hand was evidently controlled by that one per son. The evidence is in accord with the latest psychological research which admits the possibility of mental trans fer, while denying oulja's access to any supernatural realm of communicating spirits.

' China offers the largest and, most promising; field in the Orient for Xmerican export trade and the vol ume of business transacted between the two countries is limited only by the number of ships available as car rlers, according to Dan J. Malarkey who returned Monday from a three months' trip through the Far East. ! "The Chinese look upon the United States as their best friend In the family Of nations," said Malarkey, "and prefer dealing- with merchants of this coun try to trafficking with the Japanese, Germans or English." JAPANESE METHODS HESEJJTED As a result of the failure of the Jap anese government to evacuate Chinese territory occupied during' the World war and because of an alleged attempt on the part of the Japanese to force trade treaties of- their own making upon the Chinese government, a boycott on ev erything made m Japan has gained such strength In China as practically to ex clude Japanese goods from Chinese marketa "All parts of China seem to be af fected by the boycott," said Malarkey. ana all classes of people are advocat ing its rigid enforcement. On the walls of houses and In all public places In towns in the interior one sees chalk marked legends expressing antipathy t tne Japanese and their merchandise. The boycott is serving a dual purpose in China, for not only are the people of the country endeavoring to build up Industries of their own, but a national spirit is being fostered which will event ually be crystallized Into a strong and stable government. MILITARY SYSTEM 8EEJT At present China is practically under military rule, Malarkey stated, each province of the republic having Its mili- .tcry governor, who enforces his de mands and preserves order by virtue of the troops under his command. Many public improvements are being under taken, however, and many of- the lead ing men of the country are extremely optimistic as to the future of the country. Malarkey found a friendly reception In Japan and visited all of the chief cities of the empire. During his stay there the stock exchange at Toklo -was closed for several days and conditions approaching financial" panic prevailed because of the Chinese boycott and the falling off in the value of the yen in exchange. "While many travelers complained of the alleged dishonesty and trlcklness of the Japanese, my own impressions were quite favorable." Malnrkey stated. AUTIPATHT TOWABD V. 8. There Is considerable antipathy to the United States expressed In certain Jap anese newspapers, he said, but an equal ly strong Influence opposes any antagon ism toward this country. "The Japanese w ill undoubtedly gain every advantage .'-norsihle In Asia at the expense of their neighbors and European .countries In terested In that portion of the earth, but I do not believe there is the slightest j danger of armed conflict between Japan ; and the United States or any other i strong government." Japanese control of Korea is obviously i beneficial to that country, according to 'Malarkey, but the people of the country tdo not like the Japanese and crave in S dependence. Among the Improvements undertaken by the Japanese is the re- forestation of vast areas of barren hill country and millions of young Douglas fir trees have been used for this purpose. ' Several hundred miles of good roads ;have been built and the cities and larger towns show evidence of recent cleaning up. Bound-Up Dates ' Fixed; Big Show September) 23-25 Pendleton, April IS.

McCleery has pleaded guilty before Circuit Judge -MfcCourt to the charge of bigamy and h la to be sen tenced at 2 o'clock next- Friday after noon. ' McCleery Las a prison record, having bten seii tented to from ,2 to 20 years for forgery lr 1914. He waa paroled December 8, 1915, andj "returned to prison . April 19 of the following year after having stolen some jewelry, lie was again granted parole February 12, 1917. and in 1919 he pleaded guilty t a charge of r.cn-support and was sen tenced for enc year and paroled. He has a wife and two children, one 'i years old and the ether only four months old. A few wok ago he married Bernice Tolley of Portland. His; mother wis "a witness at .ne wedding, it is said, and signed jhe record stating; that there wa no legal impediment to McCleery's mir riage. Her case was before the grand jury on the charge of perjury, but It failed to return an indictment against her. The second marriage, it is said, wa performed under the name of "John M. Clary," and the fact that the man stum bled over the pronouncing of this name afterwards caused the offlclatinT cla'try man. It was said, to become suspicious, to hunt up the girl's parents and nat'fy them of the wedding ceremony, whxh was followed by McCleery's arrast. COUNTY IS GIVEN RIGHT TO , USE THE ST. JOHNS CUTOFF Under a decision given by Circuit Judge McCourt, Monday, the county of Multnomah wins the right to use the St. Johns "cutoff" road across the prop erty of the Portland Gas & Coke com pany, and the company is virtually estopped from claiming 'damages.

He; alleges he did pay this amount wlthoiit consideration therefor, and while mentally prostrated l he hatred of the Koreans for by the fear of civil and; criminal prose their conquerors is keen, however," Ma larkey declared, "and their country will b the Ireland of Japan for many years."

Starting with the, pioneer mill at Oregon City, there are now three mills in the state, with a fourth at Salem which will shortly begin the manufac ture of a high-grade sulphite paper. Each year thousands of tons of rPer of all sorts, from : newsprint to the pPer toweling that office workers dry; their hands on. are sent all over the country. Almost every boat leaving for the Orient and South Pacific points carries huge rolls of paper for use in newspaper, offices or even in building light bamboo houses. Oregon poneeeses such a magnlficejit stand of timber, and of a Hort so well adapted to paper making, that thin indun'ry will flourish for years to come In this district. The redine from sawmill is also being considered by paper manufac-: turers as a possible source of supply, which would alve Oregon, where lumber is cut so extensively, a double share 1 of the paper Industry.
