; The injunction is asked on two
grounds, first that authorities who

methods in obtaining confessions from

j Rathie and Kirby were condemned
ito hang for the murder of Sheriff Til
Taylor, in Umatilla county, in July,
B920. The original date of their execu
tion was fixed for December J. 1920,
but a stay of execution was had when
jan appeal of the decree of the Umatilla
Icounty circuit court was filed with the
Supreme court, i ,
I Following the affirmation of the de
cree of the lower court by the supreme
ieourt. the two men were returned to
Pendleton for resentencing, and the
second dates for their . execution was
for December 2. 1921. within a year
ffrom the first date. Execution at that
ttme was stayed through the issuance
of a reprieve by Governor Olcott,
pending the outcome of habeas corpus
proceedings brought in a final effort
to save the two men from the gallows.
jThls reprieve was issued for 30 days,
land at the expiration ox that time the
(supreme eourt not having acted upon
ithe proceedings already instituted, the
.(governor extended the reprieve until
.July 7.

Relief has come to a Buffering city,
with the heat wave that smothered it
early in the week apparently blown
away.
"Fair, northerly .- winds," was the
weather prediction for today.- and the
prediction proved correct. J Jhe wind
was nippy, and there was no suffering
from the heat. i
Sunday the mercury made a season's
record of 95. Monday it climbed to 91,
but for the benefit of Fourth of July
celebrants it dropped to 82 degrees
Tuesday, fulfilling Forecaster Wells'
prediction that the wave would not
last more than two or three days. To
day was even cooler and more com
fortable than Tuesday. At 5 this
morning the temperature was 54. as
compared to 60 at 5 o'clock Tuesday.
This difference had been cut down at
10 o clock, however, when the reading
was 64, as compared to 66.
Relief also came to Eastern Oreeon.
Washington and Southern Idaho. While
the weather in those sections still was
hotter' than normal, no such maximum
temperatures as were recorded Mon
day were reported. Tuesday. Baker's
maximum was 88, and 98 was the high
point at Boise. Walla Walla's tem
perature dropped from a maximum of
108 Monday to 96 Tuesday, and Yak
ima reported a similar decline of from
106 to 94. - .

POLICE "WEAR BLA3TK LOOK
When Christoffersen ; reached Van
couver the police there wore a blank
look. "Brayer has been turned loose,"
they said, without even hinting why
such action had been taken.
Soon aftefr- - Christoffersen's arrival
in Vancouver a dispatch from the Can
adian immigration bureau at Montreal
asked that Brayer he held for further
instructions,! as he was in the country
illegally. Thus Brayer, by the hasty
blundering f British Columbia police-
officials, escaped two traps.

TO EMPLOYES MEMBERS OF FEDERATED SHOP
CRAFTS: '
TJie management of these railway companies requests
that striking employes j affiliated with the federated
shop crafts, give earnest consideration to thefolloving
quotation from statement by Chairmhn Hooper of the
United States Railroad Labor Board: ;
: - " l ' - -
"Regardless of any question of the right of men ito
strike, the men who take the strikers' places are merely
- accepting the wages and working conditions prescribed
by a government tribunal and are performing a public r
service.. They are not accepting the wages and working
conditions which an employer, is trying to impose."
t For this reason public sentiment and full government - ,
tal power will protect' the: men s who remain t in their
positions and new. men who may come in.", , t " -
It is the wish of the management that the harmonious
relations which have in the past existed between these
companies and their employes may continue, and in or
der to protecj the interests of , employes who are now on
f strike, Such employes' are: hereby advised that all who
report for duty;on or before Wednesday, July 5th, 1922,
will be returned to service in their former positions and
. with seniority rights unimpaired. Those who fail to re
turn ofl br before Wednesday, July 5th, 1922, will lose"
their seniority and if re-employed rank as new men, and:
their seniority- will date frolri the time of their re-
- employment. ." 'V .;";v:7 1 . -
