land that has brought -forth this spon
taneous appreciation..- 1
GOOD START MADE .
Richardson never has gone to the na
tional conventions in an official ca
pacity, such as s representative of Al
Kader temple to ths Imperial council,
and therefore he has been able to sense
the feeling from among those who go
to enjoy the hospitality of the conven
tion city.
Mayor George L. Baker was accorded
much recognition at San Francisco, not
as an official representative of Al
Kader, but as a representative of Port
land, and he certainly added a lot of
strength wherever lis went. - His greet
ing at the Ferry building by Mayor
James Rolph and Chief . of Police
O'Brien was whole hearted and he was
rushed up Market street In the fire
chiefs automobile at the rats of (de
leted) miles an hour, the siren wide
open n everything. It was a very
auspicious : start ; for what followed.
HA3TDS OCT EO8E8
That Portland roses will start any
thing was learned by Tommy Luke,
whose "Say it with Flowers" was ons
of the hits of the week's , festivities.
Tommy, who incidentally received con
siderable recognition by the fact that
he was quartered In the Boscos, Ar
buckls apartments In the St. Frands
hotel loaded himself down wlthumore
than a 1000 roses and began passing
them out.
"Portland roses, here they are," was
his first declaration and he was almost
mobbed by the fair sex and for a tims
all eyes were on bfon instead of Mayor
Baker. Tommy worked overtime tell
ing everyone about Portland and he
left nothing undone to make everyone
happy, going so far as to permit vis
iting Shrlners to occupy his bed because
of the lack of available rooms in ths
St. . Francis Yes, he went . without
sleep to see to It that everyone was
mads to fsel at home and he certainly
accomplished big . results. ,
"RAIir TJirUSUAL" !
All of the uniformed bodies of Al
Kader temple the band, patrol and
chanters made a hit; and William P.
Humphreys, chairman of the bands
and parade committee at San - Fran
cisco, paid a tribute to the Portland
era which : forced "smiles that won't

HARDING A ID HIS
CABINET ASVIRL
By -Rssert Beadsr v r
United Nw Staff Corresposdeat.
Washington, June 17 The worst
turmoil to confront President Harding
since taking; off ice now ; marks both
the legislature and general political
situations in Wsshington. , .
What with the legislative jam In con
gress, : intra-party political and Jegis
latlve differences, bl-partixan attacks
on bis cabinet and , ths ' enthusiastic
"rassing" by democrats. ' Harding is
beginning to show the wear and tear
of his executive Job.
His demeanor recently and. some of
his - personal observation have Indi
cated a feeling- approaching; extreme
weariness at the trend of events.
Republican team work seems to have
gons to pieces temporarily . In both
houses and there is lack of co-ordination
between, the two on legislative
matters.. Added to this there is polit
ical difference with cabinet members
which ars increasing as house and
senate members approach ths primar
les and fall elections.
WEEKS UITDER FIRE
Republicans In both branches are at
tacking Secretary Weeks from ths
floor for his anti-primary speech, made
In Cleveland. House republicans, too,
have Joined in the long feud between
Assistant Elmer Dover, and Revenue
Commissioner Blair In the treasury de
partment by " demanding the ousting
of democratic hangovers In order to
satisfy the demands "back home" xof
disappointed republican off les seekers.
Once more they have carried their
fight in this matter to Harding and
ones again he seems likely to keep
hands off If he can, while Secretary
Mellon takes up the cudgel.
Attorney General 'Daugherty comes
up for bipartisan scorching every tims
his opponents in both branches of con
gress run out of something else to hit.
The senate is overloaded 1 with Investi
gations of -storks effected by the pres
ident's cabinet, particularly the oil con
tracts negotiated by Secretaries Denby
and Fall and the coal price agreements
promulgated by Secretary . Hoover."
TEAM WORK LACKING
Meantime through lack of team work
the legislative program Is in a Jam
with, ths tariff bill, looked" to as the
crowning achievement to which the
administration may point In November,
fighting with the bonus bill for rixht
of way in the senate while many news
papers in the country, republican and
democratic are assailing the schedules
in the measure.
In the house republicans have' passed
ths bonus bill against Harding's wishes
and. now are balking at passags of ths
subsidy hill which he has demanded.
In the senate Republicans are split
on whether ths bonus bill should be
taken up now or later, while In each
house both republicans and -democrats
are attacking the shipping board and
the subsidy bill because of the revela
tions that American vessels are selling
lkjuor on the high seas. Harding is
to have a conference with house
leaders today in an effort to straight
en out the subsidy tangle.
ROW I3T CABINET
Finally there Is a row between Sec
retaries Wallace and Fall as to the
opening up of Alaskan resources ; "wet"
Influences are demanding modification
of the prohibition law, "drys" are de
manding a ruling that will keep In
toxicants from Americans on ths seas,
as well as on land.
Primary elections have been going
bad from the administration viewpoint
and hot weather is with us.
Despite it all, however. President
Harding expects to go to Alaska next
month. Meanwhile his usual good na
tured, affable self is beginning to show
signs of the mental strain, .the burden
that events are Imposing on him. Also
it is rumored his golf game has tem
porarily gone off color. .
THREE ARE KILLED IN
ASTORIA AUTO WRECK

occurred. He says none of the party
drank while In Seaside. '
Coroner Hughes, however, points out
that many of the two by four timbers
in the pile of lumber which- the car hit
were thrown 30 and 40 feet by the
crash. Attendants at the hospital are
said to have declared early this morri
InV that the two men there showed
unmistakable signs ' of having been
drinking.
Traffic officers, Hanson and Thur-'
ber. are reported to believe the '-car
was not going at an excessive rate of
speed and was thrown into the ditch
beside the road by strikingthe piled
timbers.
Coutts is said to be fhe proprietor
of the club rooming house on Bond
street in Astoria. Luoma is a waiter in
the Club pool room and is said to have
a family in this city. . although rela
tives --could not be located early today.
, Little is known of Mrs. ' Bsckstrom
and it may be possible that the dead
woman is really some one else.

which, like labor unions, are formed for
mutual benefit and not for profit, ere
doomed under the Coronado decision of
the, United States supreme court, de
clared a special report of the execu
tive council of the American Federa
tion of Labor, presented today to the
federation convention here: '
The report, which assailed Chief Jus
tice Taf t on the ground that he went
out of his way slap labor unions and
decided , questions not i Involved In the
Coronado case, was referred to the spe
cial committee appointed this week to
consider Senator LaFollette's program
for giving congress the veto of the- su
preme court.
HOT.A.J.CAKDIBATE ;
It was regarded as significant that
today's report made no recommenda
tions.. This was regarded as Indicating
that the committee would approve the
LaFollette program, recommending its
adoption by the convention.
John L. Lewis, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, today announced he
would not - be a candidate against
Samuel Gompers for the-presldency of
the American Federation of Labor.
Striking miners and railroad em

already received, the railroad men
will demand a walkout.

a dissenting opinion of members of the
United States railroad labor board. ( ob
jecting to wage cuts, was written in
railroad union headquarters here, ma
jority members of the board charged
today.
The charges, following announcement
of an additional cut of 12600,000 from

profound sensation In railroad labor
circles here.

. The decision does not cut the wages
of train dispatchers, dining car stew
ards. Pacific coast marine, culinary
workers, and sets a minimum of $86
a month for railroad telephone opera
tors and does not cut present wages
from this class.
ALL CLERKS FEEL CUT

decision will be bad news in every rail
road station. Senior clerks, a re cut S
cents an hour and Junior clerks 4 cents'.
Storekeepers, train callers, assistant
station masters, train announcers, gate
men, baggage and parcels room em

ed, Drake was running down the rail
road track. He was seen cutting across
a field toward the brush. Armed with
shotguns and revolvers.' a posse gave
chase, and surrounded him.
When the armed men closed in on
him Drake, seeing he was unable to
resist them, called out he would sur
render. Sheriff Ole Nelson of Clatsop county
was called and the wounded man re
moved to the county jail. He talked
freely to his- captors, telling them he
had not eaten for three days and was
desperate in his desire for food.
SERVED WITH DICKER
The sheriff ordered a dinner served
to the prisoner before he was ques
tioned. Drake told the sheriff he came
to Oregon from Canada. He said he
was unknown in Knappa and he
thought that would be a good place to
get money.
The highwayman evidently knew of
the private door from the office of the
logging company to (the bank, for as
soon as he entered the room he headed
toward the bank door, firing at the
cashier as lie crossed the room.
He told 'his captors he was glad hs
hadn't Injured anybody, since he was
firing Just to clear the way to the
place where the money was kept.
The cash register In the logging com
pany office contained 300 or J$400.kept

not ret to the cash register before
Boatmen had his gun in play.
Authorities in Knappa, -have, not
learned anything about the man except
what he- has told them himself. No
one has been able to Identify him.
Drake was taken to the county jail in
Astoria.

AURORA ROBBER
ROT SEEN SINCE
El
Aurora, . June 17. Since the armed
bandit who held up Miss Vera. . Cuts-
forth, assistant cashier of the Stats
Bank of Aurora yesterday, escaping
with,-S1155 of the bank funds, entered
the woods near - the Pudding- river
bridge at the edge of town, no trace
or him. has been found. . -i
Local Dosses spent ths evenlnsr halo
ing Burns detectives and posses from
tha Marion and Clackamas county
sheriffs offices In the search, but this
morning only the official searchers
are out. '
The bandit was last seen by boys
swimming in the Pudding river as he
ran into the woods. Mrs. Harry Zeg
ler. through whose yard he ran. also
reported sighting him about the same
time. . : -
The lone robber entered the bank
after Zeno Schwab, cashier, had left
and when Miss Cutsforth was alone.
He had been at the bank a few minutes
before and asked to get some money
changed into Canadian funds. ' On be
ing Informed that he could not be ac
commodated he left, saying be would
go to the other bank. When he rer
turned he remarked, that -he had been
unaoie 10 get tne change. Without rur
ther conversation he .Jumped over ths
railing, pointed a pistol at Miss Cuts-
forth and demanded that she turn
over the bank's cash.
BOUNO HA5D AND FOOT
Ths robber forced Miss Cutsforth
into the vault and tied her feet and
hands. Then forcing her to sit on a
box, he demanded, "Now Where's the
cash." She played for time, but the
bandit, evidently intending to frighten
ner into turning over the money,
started to close the vault door.
Miss Cutsforth then outwitted the
robber again, saying, "Don't shut the
door, there's gas In it. i
By this time the robber evidently
had abandoned hope of looting the
vault, and leaving the vault door open
he Jumped to the counter, gathered
up the currency there, amounting to
11155, seised a bond for $60 and fled..
A. L. Graham entered just .
the robber was leaving, but suspect
ing nothing, paid no attention to hint
until Miss Cutsforth called to him, say
ing, "That man had robbed ths bank."
The patron gave the alarm and a dep
uty sheriff, assisted by volunteers, took
up tne cnase.
Sheriff Bower of Marion county who
is directing the Jiunt, believes the ban
dit is still in the brush.
The bandit passed the entire dav
hers. He was seen about town several
times, and ror a long time sat on a
bench opposite the bank which he later
robbed. He wore a blue Jumner and la
described as sandy in complexion, with
apoui a wees s growtn or beard and .a
mustache. He has a scar on hla lrt
cheek, near the mouth. He was not
taenunea by anyone here. ;
ine bank's loss is covered by In
