QWER HOUSE 10 KILLED i" . ' i . . . SUMMONED ATGRESHAW! Harding Is Anxious to. Have All Members in Seats on Au gust 15 to Take Action on Serious Industrial Situation. Washington, Aug. 8. (XJ. P.) Presi dent Harding has practically ordered all members of the house to be back on the job on August 15 so that he may turn to them for any legislation he feels necessary in the handling of the coal and rail strikes, it was made known at the "White House today. ' The original plan was for a few members to return next Tuesday, and then take three-day recesses until the senate took final action on the tariff bill and other measures. The president's action, therefore "virtually amounts to summoning the house, which has been in recess for about a month, back to Washington to meet any emergency that! may arise. SITUATION SERIOUS Admitting that the coal and rail strikes are "serious," Harding, it was stated, "suggested" to the house lead 'era that they abandon their plan for three-day recesses after August 15. The White House made it 'known that there is no "under-valuing of the seriousness of both situations." The executive's action was taken as an indication that he will; not hesitate to take over the railroads or mines should such action be necessary for the public welfare. While the president has ample authority to take over these two utilities. legislation would be needed to provide for their operation and to determine many cither related questions. The president has been assured by his legal advisers that he has ample authority to take over the railroads through declaration of a national emergency and that he can virtually seize specific roads failing to function adequately through receivership pro ceedings. Any nation-wide seizure of the roads probably would be based on the provi sions of the national defense act. which gives the president broad powers In an emergency. Harding, according to reliable in- ( Concluded on Page Two.

Inability of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific ratiwaB to obtain- a sufficient return supply of empty cars from the I ast has resulted in the cutting down-- of deliveries , on th ;S. P. tc 8., Oregon Trunk, and Oregon Electric as well aa on the parent line. The lack of a return movement of cars has placed the railroads of the Northwest in a "bad hole," according to W. D. Skinner, vice president and traffia manager of ths S. P. & S. system lines. While the TJnlon Pacific claimed that it was. able to deliver almost 100 per cent of the caf -demand with only minor delays, traffic and car bureau officials said that deliveries of empty cars were being cut down and that (Concluded on Pace Two, Column Tare) Police Arrest 222 Traffic Offenders In Hour and Half Within an hour" and" a half-Monday, from 8:30 to 10 p. m.. traffic police arrested 222 motorists on all bridges across the Willamette rtver for traffic violations. " Most of the offenders were arrested for small, violations such as Improper lights. Monday night's clean-up was the first of a series to be staged by the police each Monday and Friday night for the next two waeks. cniel jenauns recently ordered the campaign as a result' of countless complaints.

But a man who is in close touch with the orange blossom trade In the city hall to 'whom a long line of silly couples apply for marriage licenses while another long line of glum peo ple are applying to court judges for divorces, said that unless Cupid eatcnes them young nowadays most hides get too thick to pierce. Samuel La man t, . chief statistician of the superior court, and Louis Hutt 'in the same capacity In the circuit court, agree that the decrease in "marriages is due to the ever greater 'number of self-supporting and Independent young women wno are making excellent liv ings and wouldn't look at the most silvery summer moon and sigh under any circumstances.

OLCOTT LOSES 8 , IN VOTE RECOUNT First evidence of the charge made by the Hall forces in the Republican gubernatorial recount that names of Republican candidates written in on Democratic ballots were accredited on tb RepubUcan count came to light when the recheck of precinct 270 waa made. i j Her It developed that Olcotfa name Had been written In on two Democratic ballot and had been counted for him while one Democratic ballot comtained a vote for Hall, which also had been counted. These four votes were thrown out. Eighteen precincts were recounted during this forenoon's session of the court. These showed a net loss of eight for Olcott and a net loss at four for Hall. Olcott's total gain was 3 and total loss 1.1. , The corresponding figures for Hall were eight gain and IS loss. Hall's largest individual gain was five in precinct 279, but this was offet by a loss, of six In precinct 297. In this morning's count Olcott lost three votes in precinct 266 where in the poll book accounted for 115 bal lots and the ballot box contained only 111. The court allowed the count to proceed in spite of Attorney , Bower man's objection that the recount be held up until election board officials tn this precinct could-be produced to testify. . In precinct 265, one defective ballot was uncovered, on the back of which was the notation "holy defective." The voter had placed crosses for both Bean and Lee, ,. 'Hall . lost one vote here through an erasure by the voter. The count of "the Multnomah county ballots 1 will be temporarily suspended this afternoon,' there being only seven more of the. precincts specified by the contestant to finish. Whether the Clatsop county precincts will be counted in -Portland before the return of the court to Salem will be deter mined this afternoon. The attorneys for Governor Olcott have asked the court to open addi tional boxes in Multnomah county, but this extension of the recount will be held in abeyance until after all the precincts named by .the contestant throughout the state are disposed of. On motion of Hall's attorneys the court ordered the names of George W. McMalh and wife, Maida K. McMath, stricken from the list of 300 alleged illegal voters in Multnomah county. In explanation .of- tnia- motion the at torneys for the contestant stated that an incomplete understanding of the facts tn regard to the ballots cast by Mr. and -Mre.

The crop reporting board of the bureau of agricultural economics of the de partment, of agriculture this afternoon made public the following estimates based on August 1 reports of its cor respondents and agents: - The total wheat crop was estimated at 805,000,000 bushels, as ..compared with the July forecast ' of 817.000.000 bushels, a 1921 yield of ,79i.OOO,OuO bushels and a 1916-1920 average of 793,000,000 bushels. The winter wheat crop was esti mated at 542.000,000 bushels, compared with 569.000,000 hushels for Jnly and 687.000,000 bushels last year.

Records of 10 previous Buyers' weeks were broken today when 900 merchants from 11 Western states. Canada and Alaska, registered before 11 o'clock today at the Buyers' head quarters in the Oregon building. This unusually heavy registration upon the opening of the second day of the annual event means that the vis itors already have spent more than Ji50,000 in Portland through their pur chases and living expenses. Comparison with the records of last year, when the largefet number of buyers in the history of the annual gathering met here, shows that exact ly double the number of merchants and purchasers are registered here as were listed at the same time in 1921. ALASKA BEPEESENTED From the registration files some re markable information was gleaned by the executive committee today. The states represented were Oregon. Wash ington, Idaho, California, Utah, Ne vada, Montana, North Dakota, Wy oming, Minnesota and Oklahoma. In addition there were a dozen or more merchants from British Columbia and Alaska. During the first day there were 700 buyers in the city and the manufac turers and jobbers, who are entertain ing them, estimated that each one made purchases averaging $200, or a total of $140,000. In addition, each buyer is estimated to spend $10 a day in living expenses. And the visitors are buying, accord ing to the merchants, for all express confidence that heavy demands will be made on their stocks this year and the farmers and small town residents are gaining their equilibrium after the depression of the last two years. The entertainntent features of the week started with full swing Monday evening when approximately 500 buy ers and their wives gathered in the Multnomah hotel for the grand ball and reception. The entertainment (Concluded an Page Three, Column Two) OSLER IS SEEN AT HOOD RIVER J. C. Osier, second-hand automobile dealer wanted by the police in con nection with" the Lumberman's Trust company bank defalcation of $34,000. was seen in Hood River at 10 o'clock Sunday teorning, according to word received by Lieutenant-Inspector Harvey Thatcher. Osier was driving a large, red auto mobile, according to Lieutenant That cher. The police stated that no other clue to the whereabouts of Osier has yet been uncovered. Earle Eugene Patterson, charged with larceny in connection with a shortage of $34,600 from the Lumber man's Trust company bank, waived a preliminary heajing in Municipal court Monday afternoon and was bound over to the Btate grrand jury with bail placed at $10,000. An effort was being made Monday night to raise the bail, but at a late hour it had not been accomplished. Police authorities were still some what mystified Monday by Patterson's case, which Lientenant Harvey That cher of the Inspector's bureau stated is the most remarkable that has ever come into his lands. The mystery surrounding the case comes from the fact that Patterson apparently has not used one cent of the money which he is charged with taking from the bank's funds, and that it all went to Osier, ' according to Patterson's state ments, who associated frequently with Osier. "It is a known fact." Deputy Dis trict Attorney Mowry said, "that Pat terson and Osier went fishing together frequently and that the teller spent a great many evenings at the home of the second hand automobile dealer on Brooklyn street. "We have had complaints in the past," Mowry asserted, "regarding business deals of Osier's but at no time was there sufficient departures from legalities to justify a case against the automobile dealer." 2 : Gasoline Price Is Cut to Dealer, but Eetail Unchanged Seattle. Aug. 8. (U. P.) With 1 cent a gallon reduction in Standard Oil gasoline to dealers and the an nouncement that the retail price will see no change at present, consumers today were wondering just where they stand. Garage men handling Standard gasoline were notified, that they can now buy gasoline for 22 cents a gallon Instead of 23 cents. W. L. Munsey district manager for the Standard Oil company, said today that so far as he knew the retail price of gasoline would see no change. J. E. Balsley. sales manager of the local Tranch of the Standard Oil com' pany, said that he had received so in formation as to any reduction tn the price of gasoline, either to the retail or wholesale trade In Oregon. .He further said that as far as he knew there was no intention of the head of fices ' to order such a reduction. He had no explanation to make of the Se attle reduction. At the same time a number of inde pendent garages are now selling gaso line ; at 2 cents, a reduction from the Standard's price' of 26 cents. ' County's Annual Show Opens Its Welcoming Doors to Thronjs; Everything Is in Place; Fine Quality of Exhibits Attracts. Gresham threw wide its doors today for the throngs of people who assem bled at the grounds of the Multnomah county fair for the opening day. The exhibits, contrary' to the usual prece dent af opening day, are all in place. The stock barns were filled to Over flowing with the choicest animals of ranch and farm., the displays of ag ricultural products were abundant and arranged with a charm that more than bordered the artistic. Of peculiar interest and excellence were the exhibits from the boys' and girls' agricultural clubs. Observers noted evidence in this exposition of the constructive educational work being done among youths in the lapt few years. The ' large displays and fine qiuality of the products entered in these classes attracted particular com- OBAXGES KEE5 RIVALS While today's, doings were largely only preliminary, the judges were get ting a line on things so they may be gin their labors of classifying and awarding, which is scheduled for Wed nesday. Probably the keenest rivalry will be found in the competition of Seven of the nine grange organizations of the country for premier honors in agricultural entries. It was predicted from inspection of these that the judges will have to use keen discrimi nation to determine which of the seven is better than any of the others. The Granges competing are Multnomah, Rockwood, Gresham, Lents, Fairview, RussollviUe and Columbia. The- win ner will get a $100 prize. -HORSE RACES TOMORROW The horse racing program will begin Wed&esday. Probably the best entries yet cbtaincd give assurance of an in teresting and exciting series of races. This program will begin at 2 p. no., with a special running race at 7 p. m. followed by an auto polo contest. Prior to the race events will be a gathering in honor of "Democratic day,", when Walter M. Pierce, candi date for governor, will speak. Others of tlse political faith are also, sched uled for exhortations. ' JughriT in the cooking and sewing" entries wi'l take place Wednesday morning, and demonstrations .ln -canning of fruits and vegetables, will take place at 1 :30 and at 3 .30, with teams from the schools of the county par ticipating. : One of the most unique features of he air, in the opinion of Manager C. D. Minton. is the woman clerk of the -ace course. As far as Minton is aware, Mrs. V. H. Strohm is the only woman Who ever officiated in that capacity. Observers noticed the clean appear ance of the fair grounds, with notably fewer of the cheap, catch-penny "con cessions" that have disfigured exposi tions of the kind in Oregon In previous years. This is the first working of the ex periment of holding a county fair the first week of August. Fear was ex pressed by some that the unusually early date would mean a scant exhibit, but this fear apparently has proved groundless. The fair is usually held in September and early autumn rains have frequently Interfered with the attendance. , BULLETS FLY IN RAID ON BOOZE Half a dosen shots fired early this morning by one squad of policemen chasing a gang of alleged bootleggers aroused residents in the neighborhood of Terwilllaer boiilevard and Bancroft Street and caused a second squad of policemen to be sent out to clear up a bier "murder mystery." C. B. Reh- man, Ko. 25J Condon street, heard the shots and sent ina riot call. The firing: was caused when Antone Kaxandlch, one of three alleged boot legging jobbers said to be supplying nortii end retailers, broke away from Patrolmen Chauvln, Saunders. Cham berlain. McGrath and Miners, and started running through the brush. The vice squad located the cache several days ago and early this morn ing lay in wait ,for the owners. When Kaiandich, with Joe Cacich and Tony Perk, arrived the police surrounded them and ordered them to. surrender. Kazundich decided to run. After half a mile, with the police and bullets in Dersuit he changed his mind. - The police confiscated 143 pints. Bail was set at $500. - - i After the ' second , squad had beat around the brush for an hour or so without finding the corpus delicti they returned to notice headquarters and learned all about it.
