B! FAIR DATE
OF MICHAEL COLLINS
IS HELD
While the body of Michael Collins was being carried
through the streets of Dublin yesterday aiL Irish poet
sang the following lines: :
Bear him to that hallowed place '
Where our deathless dead are resting;.
Where the spokesmen of the race
Gather for the final questing.
Chivalrous he fought his fight,
' Kindly, patient, unreviling,
Hopeful that the dawning light
Would reveal a nation smiling.
Lay his body int the earth,
Giant frame and soul are riven.
Think of Collins in his mirth.
And his prayer:
: DUBLIN, Aug, 28-(By Asso
ciated Press.) Michael CoUfns
rests in the soil of the Irish Free
State tor which he died fighting.;
He was buried today In the Glas
nevin cemetery, -where lie the
bodies ot Arthur Griffith, Parnell
and .other patriots,, and many of
his comrades in tne struggle for
Irish freedom. , i -
Entire Nation Mourns. .
The whole nation mourned;
thousands at the grave; and those
who sorrowed in Dublin were only
a fraction of the whole. Dublin
might have been a city of the
dead; a. great hush wa& every
where, yet almost a million people
were there, standing or kneeling
on the streets; gentry from the
fine houses in the suburbs, v and
the poor from the slums; women
were wrapped in their shawls car
rying their Infants or leading
their awe-stricken children.
-A multitude was grouped in
windows, and assembled on roof
tops, clung uncertainly to chim
neys while others climbed 1 stone
walls and monuments alt to catch
a glimpse of - Ireland's greatest
cortege and pray for one .of Ire
land's greatest patroits.
Tributes are Paid; "
An Irish bard sang today while
they carried Michael Collins
through the streets of Dublin. It
was only one of a thousand trib
utes to this young man and '.re
markable Irish genius, who in his
short thirty years had given Ire
land her place among the nations
I of Jthe earth but who, like Grif-

Head of Old Peoples Home
Returns to Former Resi
dence in Nebraska
Mrs. Elizabeth D. Proctor, for
the past years the executive head
and . matron of the Old Peoples
home is preparing to leave Salem
Friday to go back to her old home
near Swanton, Neb.
Mrs. Proctor has been highly
successful as bead of the home
for the aged. Her cheery good
nature, her tact, her executive
ability, and her genuine love for
the sometimes .crochety, some
times hard to understand and
generally Infirm guests of the
home,' have given her high
standing in her field.
It is a hard position to flit, but
it pays wonderful returns in the
affection of these elderly folks
who are so appreciative of a good
home.
FUNERAL
IN DUBLIN
"Be they forgiven
fore his work was crowned with
complete victory.
While the requiem mass was ee
ing chanted in the cathedral a
military dispatch rider rode up to
the edifice and entered by the
main portal. He carried in his
hand a single white Illy, a token
sent by Kitty Klernan, the dead
patriot's fiancee. It was placed
on the coffin lid, and was tenderly
laid there again later when the
coffin was lowered to the grave.
Collins Successor Speaks
At the grave side, Richard Mnl
cahy, who succeeds as commander-in-chief
of the national army,
speaking of the life ..work an1
the ideals of Michael ColUns for
Irish freedom, said solemnly:
-- "Michael Collins can never be
buried, for his spirit will live to
guide to achievement his ideals.'
Though he , was. buried, in ac

Roman CathoUc church, aU re
ligions, as all men, joined in to
day's national tribute.

! 'Leading Group Forms
Not , only was it . revealed that
the- president himself was not dis
posed definitely to ask . for con
gressinal authority to take over

strike situation, but it was mads
known also that an influential
group of leaders in the senate and
house had taken a position which
would make passage of the' auth

Meantime, committees in both
branches of congress reported for
passage later in the week a bill

tion to strengthen its hand in con

Harding: Withdraws Pressure
It was said today that opinion
among the chief executive's ad
visers was divided on the subject
of government operation, but that
in the end Mr. Harding indicated
he would exert no pressure for
nthorizine such a
step.
As viewed by the Mayflower
conferees, the coal strike situa
tion, both anthracite and. bitumin
ous, appeared in a way to sorve
itself and insure increased pro
duction in the very near future,
leaving the problem of moving
the product to the consumer as
the crux of the whole effort to
restore industrial stability. It was
indicated, however,, that although
the administration had ( resolved
to center its efforts toward facili

Townspeople of Silvert&n go
Into Country and Tres
pass on Farmers
SILVERTON, Or., Aug. 28. -
(Special to The Statesman) Sev
eral owners of evergreen blackber
ry bushes experienced trouble
with outside help for their pick
ing Sunday.
In former years it was quite
customary for town people to
avail themselves of Snnday to go
into the country an gcher all
the evergreen berries they could
use. However, since the berries
have become marketable most of
the town people have realized that
they-have no more rieht to enter
anothter man's pasture and help
themselves to his evergreens than
they have to begin picking his
strawberries.
Whole Families Go
Sunday, however, proved an ex
ception. Whether the people
were a little harder up for some
extra spending money or needed
more jellies and jams than they
had thus fir been able to secure
the fruit for is unknown but it
is known that many city folks
loaded their cars with their fam
ilies, buckets, baskets and tubs
and set out for an all-day's pick
ing in the berry fields belonging
to Silverton farmers.
In some cases where the own
ers discovered their new crews at
work they informed them that
their assistance was not needed.

FORD FIGHTS
Manufacturer Explains That
He Hopes to Stop Profi
teering w Fuel
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 28.
(By The Associated Press) Hen
ry Ford In announcing Saturday
that his plants would be closed
September; 16 because of condi
tions in the coal industry, began a
fight for what he believes Is a
great principle, the Associated
Press was Informed today by
sources close to the manufacturer.
Mr. Ford, it was stated, has
started what he declares is a fight
against all profiteering in coall,
and he believes he is in a better
position perhaps to do so than any
one else. Ho feels, it was stated,
that by taking up the right, he is
doing every other manufacturer
as well as working men through
out the country, a real service.
Coal Shortage Denied.
Mr. Ford denies there is a coal
shortage. The investigations of
his representatives convinced him.
it was stated, that coal brokers of
the country have an enormous sup
ply of coal on hand. The Ford
Motor company could obtain
enough coal to cover a tract 10
acres square if it would submit
to being vlctimezed by profiteers
it was declared. For several
weeks, it was asserted, the Ford
offices at Dearborn have been
flooded with offers of coal with
delivery guaranteed. It was de-
dared that the prices ranged from
100 to 300 per cent above the
normal cost.
Workers" Plight Feared.
The Detroit manufacturer be
lieves that if he yields to what he
terms 'the holdup" of the coal
brokers, every other manufacturer
will follow suit and that coal prices
win reach an unprecedented fig
ure. One source close to Mr.. Ford
said the manufacturer had "at the
back of his mind" a nfctnre of
working men beine unable to but
enough" coal to keep their families
warm because of the prices that
eventually would be asked "unless
this profiteering was nipped in its
inception." -
o roru company recently
has received a large number of of
fers on the part of coal operators
to sell mines. None of these of
fers have been seriously consid
ered, however because of the pres
sent transportation conditions.
Ofrers Not Significant.
It was explained by persons
close to Mr. Ford today that "the
offering of mines meant but little

for almost nothing, because of the

Fir at Higher Level i
The fire had risen from the
o000 foot level, where it was dis
covered early today, to the 2400
foot level at 11:15 o'clock,, to
night, a portion of the main shaft
below the 2700 foot level had
caved in and workmen could re
main at the 2400 foot level to
fight the flames only a few min
utes at a time. The men were
believed to be on the 4 500 foot
and lower levels.
It was definitely estimated at
tho hour named that there had
been a cave-in in the tunnel con
necting the Argonaut working
with' the nearby Kennedy mine,
so that even if , it were possible
to break through the massive
concrete bulkhead closing this
tunnel, "it would take a month,
according to one miner to get
into the Argonaut's levels by that
route.
ilent is Tremendous
The heat was so Intense below
the 2400 foot level that miners
who went down in skips to spend
a brief period fighting the fire
and then hurry back, gasping for
breath to the surface, said the
guides actually melted in places.
A considerable establishment
for fire fighting and rescue work
has been set up at the 2400 foot
level. Telephone lines there were
tepaired, extra transformers for
providing electric light were in
stalled today and other arrange
ments were made.
From the best Information ob-
ia.iau.vie me eniomoea men are
between the 4500 and the 4800
foot levels, while the main body
of the fire is more than 1000 feet
above them. .
