House arid Senate Conferees
Expected to Begin Work
in Next Two Weeks
WASHINGTON, . Aug. 12
House - and xenate conferees are
expected by Chairman McCumber
to begin work on the' administra
tion tariff bill within the next t o
weeks, it being assumed that the
senate will nass the bill when it
tomes to a vote next Saturday;
jThe tsonferees will face a long
and difficult task. One ot the big
Issues to be settled is whether the
house American valuation plan is
to gv way to the senate lore'sn
valuation basis of assessing tariff
duties. . . -
Thousand Bates Disputed
Tha "flexible" and "scientific"
tariff nlans also wll be subjects
in dispute. " Besides there will be
something like 1,000 actual tarirt
rates in controversy." ' '
There has been some cloakroom
gossip, referred to several times
on the senate floor recently- Dy
Demccr&tlc opponents of the bill,
that' the tariff would die-in con
ference. Senator McCumber nd
other- Renubllcan leaders, 5 hope,
however, to getthe measure out

A nnalntment ot the senate con
fereen on the bill is awaited -with

fore haa been that these ranking
Republicans and the two ranking
Democrats on the finance commu
tee were named to represent the
senate, but since Senator Lat 01

nosed the tariff bill, is the thira
ranking Republican, there has
been speculation as to whether he
wonld be appointed.
f Should Mr. LaFollette be ap
pointed and oppose the final dratt
ot the measure in conference, the
ennferee would be deadlocked.

a conference . report could not be

Gould claimed he obtained the

According to the story told the
police, he came from New York
last April.- His meeting with the
old man was by chance, he said.
He said he understood the map

Fifty-Six Thousand Pounds
of Evaporated Logans
Are in Shipment
There's one shipment of Salem
fruit that the railroad strikes
won't seriously affect, as long as
they don't burn or wreck the
cars. That is the carload of evap
orated loganberries that is to go
out from the Oregon Growers
Monday for the far east.
The car will contain 2890 25
pound boxes of berries, or ap
proximately 28 tons. This year
the beries were more saccharine
than usual. The sunshine brings
out the sugar and evaporates the
Juice, so the berries in the final
evaporation ' lost less weight than
usual. Jt has required only about
five pounds of fresh berries to
make a pound of evaporated fruit.
Counting it on this basis the ship
ment of 56.000 pounds would be
the equivalent of 280,000 pounds
of fresh berries. Assuming that
the average yield was two tons to
the acre, it would mean that this
one car is carrying to market the
whole produce of 70 acres of ber
ries. , '
..The order for the car was ac
cepted late Friday afternoon, and
the packing was not begun until
Saturday morning. The crew put
out 1400 boxes, during the lay,
and will finish the order Monday
morning.
Delay In the receipt of paper
cartons for packing the logans for
retail trade, has left a large quan
tity of the berries still in the bins,
where the prunes will have to go
when the prune season opens
OUT MONDAY
PETITION TO
SAVE TREE IS
GOING ROUNDS
City Council Asked to Rescind
Action Relative to Salem's
Only Redwood
Petitions are being circulated
tc ask the city council to rescind
its order to murder the beautiful
tree that stands in Summer street
at Union.
The tree was planted more than
5 years ago by Daniel Waldo, a
pioneer of Salem. He brought
the tree from California on his
way home from the bonanza gold
fields. When the street was
paved the tree was left standing;
an innovation, perhaps, but one
that has pleased thousands of peo
ple who have seen the disting
uished tree lifting its head so
proudly over the city.
The city council didn't really
mean to assassinate the most
beautiful single thing in Salem.
The aldermen wondered, however,
about the regularity of leaving
it out there in its strange po
sition. The petitions, where only
four out ot the first 200 persons
asked to sign, refused or even ne
glected to do so, seem to tell
what the people thing ot the tree.
If anyone isn't familiar with
this tree, go up and see It; it's
worth spending 12 cent3 car fare
to bee what a redwood is like
and this is the "only one growing
In Salem, and it would take 75
years to grow another.

Transcontinental Traf f idle
sumed by Road When
Firemen Return
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.
Transcontinental traffic interrupt
ed by walkouts of "Big Four" rail
road brotherhood members was
restored on one road, the South
erji Pacific, today, but remained
at a virtual standstill on two oth
ers, the Santa Fe and the Western
Pacific,
Moreover, traffic on the Union
Pacific's line from Salt Lake City
to Los Angeles, apparently restor
ed late today, again was at a
standstill tonight, officials of the
line at Los -Angeles announcing
the annulment of one train and
the return from San Bernardino
to Los Angeles of one which left
the latter point today.
Firemen Return
Return of firemen to work at
Ogden permitted the resumption
of trafflc'by the. Southern Pacific
over that route and the raising of
its embargo on perishable freight
The principal difficulty of both
the Union Pacific and the Santa
Fe apparently was the presence
of armed guards at San Bernard
ino and other points, on the San
ta Fe, whose tracks are used by
the Union Pacific for a part o
the way into Los Angeles.
Auto Caravan Formed
Tlie banta ta still had a num
ber of passenger trains marooned
principally at Needles and Sellg
man. Citizens at San Bernardino
organised an automobile caravan
to bring in those at Needles
where the thermometer has been
past the 100 mark and distress
has begun to be evident. ,
Passengers aboard one of the
trains held at Seligman, Arizona
telegraphed an appeal for a "Red
Cross Train" to take women, chil
dren and the aged to a place of
greater comfort and demanded
that the railroad remove the oth
ers of their number in automo
biles. Brotherhood men were refusing
to move trains from three points
on the Western Pacific lines
Oakland. Stockton and Oroville,
Calif. As a result the road an
nulled both its east bound and one
of its westbound passenger trains
today.

PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 12. Tom Garland, widely known
local attorney, this afternoon sued the Ku Klux Klan, Charles
Hall, defeated candidate for the Republican nomination for
governor, and R. R. Coster, secretary of the public defense
league, which is backing the Hall contest, for $52,500 HbcL
Garland charges that the act of making public his name
on a list of alleged illegal voters outside the courts was in
itself a libel that has reflected upon him.
The'klan, Hall and Coster are interlinked, he charges, in
a political conspiracy that justifies their association as de
fendants in the suit." - a;--?--rr-A
Further, he asserts in his complaint that the klan has
not filed articles of incorporation in the' state and asks to
be allowed to make any member whose names he may learn,
individual defendants to the action. f
He insists that the klan is a political organization seek
ing to fasten upon patronage by working on the supersti
tions and emotions of a certain class of loyal American
people. . . ,v ;.- ac -aa'-1

shocked early today to learn of
the fudden death of Arthur Grif

on as one of the most tragic and
wholly unexpected events in trou
bled Ireland.
eath Follows Operation
Death came a nursing home, ap
parently from a heart attack fol
lowing an operation a few days
ago for tonsilltls. Few people in
Dublin even knew that the ardent
worker for the free state cause
had been ill. Immediately a'gns
of mourning were displayed.
Flags were set at half mast on
buildings and ships In the harbor.
Managed Civil Affairs
The Question on all a'des was
what effect the death of the lead
er would have cn the solution of
the problems before the provis
ional government. His colleague,
Michael Collins, recently has de
voted his attention almost entire
ly to the military operations
against the Irregulars, while the
country looked to Mr. Griffith to
manage the civil affairs until the
rebellion was suppressed.
Associates Are Stunned
The president's associates were
stunned by the news of his death.
N' t mie of tham was prepared to
disci'KS its effects, but they all
agreed that Ireland had sustained
a great loss.
Collapses on Street.
Mr. Griffith appeared quite well
this morning as prior 'to leaving
for his office just before ten
o'clock, he said good bye to his
nursing staff. He stapped to tie
a shoelace when he fell forward
unconscious.
The members of the staff
rushed to assist hifi. He regained
consciousness but soon after col
lapsed again, when blood was
seen coming from his mouth.
Father John Lee of the Marlst
Fathers, administered extreme
unction, and Mr. Griffith expired
as the priest was reciting the con
cluding prayer.
