dying, a score are seriously wounded
and 30 to 40 others are injured as the
result of a fire wnich started simul
taneously with a pre-arranged riot in
the Western penitentiary here this after
noon.
Scenes of turbulence such as were
never before witnessed since the Home

evidence within the prison for nearly
lour hours.
The workshop and other buildings of
the old prison were burned, most of
the windows smashed and the buildings

partially destroyed by flames, which
sprang up soon after the fighting start

with guards.
Guards fired polntblank into the mobs
of prisoners who came at them armed
' with pieces of furniture and other wea
pons. Scores were reported wounded.
Six frame structures within the walls
-were destroyed by fire.
The damaged buildings include the
shoe shop, weaving shop, broom shop,
tailor shop and dining and instruction
rooms.
CORYICTS HCRL MISSILES
A crowd estimated at 10,000 persons
gathered about the penitentiary and
-watched the prisoners as they pawed
frantically at the heavily barred Win
dows. Virtually every window in the
west wine was broken. Shoes and other
missiles were hurled through the bars
The shrieks and screams of the inmates
could be heard for blocks.

London, July IS. (I. N. S.) Serious
obstacles have been encountered in the
Irish oeaee negotiations, according to re
ports in circulation tonight, after Lloyd
George had spent the afternoon in con
ference with Kamonn de Valera, "presi
dent of the Irish republic." and with Sir
James Craig, premier of Ulster. Lloyd
George conferred separately with each
leader.
When Craig left No. 10 Downing street,
the premier's official residence, he an

At the same time an official state

that President de Valera will resume his
conversations with Lloyd George Thurs
day. None5 of the conferees would give any
inkling of what had taken place in this
afternoon's conference.
There came near being a dramatic
meeting between De Valera and bis po
litical foe. Sir James Craig. Sir James,
accompanied by Lord Londonderry, a
member of the Ulster cabinet, arrived at
10 Downing street while the "Irish pres
ident" was in conference with Premier

Salem, Or.. July II. The city of Port
land won the first round in Its fight to
secure a rehearing on the part of the
public service commission of the Pacific
Telephone A Telegraph company rate
case this afternoon when the commission
ruled it had the power to grant the order
of rehearing,
Right of the commission to grant the
rehearing was challenged by John Mc
Nary of Salem, attorney for the com
pany. at the opening of the rehearing at
the state capital.
McNary, who is a brother to Senator
McNary. in tiring the opening gun in the
proceedings, contended that the only
tribunal in the state which has the au
thority to grant a rehearing is the su
preme court and that when the commis
sion made the decision to grant a re
hearing it exceeded its authority.
HELD OBEGOIT LAW SLACK
When the commission made its de
cision the case passed out of its juris
diction." said McNary, "and unless the
supreme court decided upon a retrial It
would not be valid. Some states have
laws that permit the service commis
sions to have the authority of calling
rehear ings, but there is nothing of this
nature in the Oregon laws.
H. H. Tomllnson, deputy city attorney
of Portland, began his opening statement
when the session reconvened this after
noon. Speaking on behalf of Portland
and other municipalities Tomllnson said
he would consider the character of the
service, reasonableness of the charges
and the interrelation of the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company with the
American Telephone A Telegraph com
pany and other associated companies.
TO LAST SOBE DATS
It Is evident the hearing will continue
the greater part of this week. An ef

the "necessity for .having a single Irish
spokesman in the London conference.

De Valera.

SENATE IS EAGER TO CLEAR
CALENDAR AN U TAKE RECESS
Washington. July 18. (I. N. S.) Sen
ate leaders sought to clear the legisla
tive decks today in a renewed effort for
a summer recess after the Fordney tariff
bill is sent to the senate finance com
mittee, following its passage Thursday
by the house.
When the senate reconvened Senator
Sterling (Republican, South Dakota)
planned to call up for final action the
"Anti-beer bill." Its early passage Is
predicted, a poll of the senste having
disclosed that but 16 to 20 senators are
prepared to vote against it.
Senator Norris (Republican. Nebraska)
hoped to have his bill for the creation of
a $100,000,000 federal corporation to
finance agricultural exports supplant
Sterling's bill, but senators opposed to
the Norris measure are said to outnum
her those flio favor it, and the "Anft
beer bill" is expected to be given the
right of way.
The senate banking and currency com
mittee is to consider today two other ag
ricultural measures supported by the
senatorial agricultural bloc one to make
the secretary of agriculture a member
of the federal reserve board and the
other to increase the limit that may be
loaned by federal farm loan banks to
farmers from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000.
The agricultural "bloc," numbering 22
Republican and Democratic senators
from Southern and Western agricultura
states, are insisting that the so-called
farmer relief legislation, including the
Capper-Tincher "anti-grain gambling
bill'' shall be acted on before the senate
recesses or adjourns tor the rest of the
summer.

The search 1st yesterday for the Jaw

brought no results. An old well in the vt
vinity of where the red mystery car was
seen to turn and head for Roseburg Is
being searched today in the hope of
finding some trace of the missing bones.
The river In that district was dragged
yesterday and hundreds Joined the offi
cers in the search for evidence.
The officers were working on the
theory that Dr. Brumfield removed the
Jawbone after Killing Russell, in order
to prevent identification and to strength
en nis alleged plan to make it appear
that he had been killed. The fact that It
was an hour and a half after the mur
der before Brumfield appeared in Ross
burg, whereas it is only a few minutes'
drive, strengthens this theory in the
mind of Sheriff 8tarmer.
Finding of the teeth would clear up
all doubt as to identifies tion of the
body. The officers planned to search
the ground In the vicinity of Russell's
cabin, believing it likely that the Jaw
bone and teeth are burled there.
