WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. (By The Associated Press)
Legality of the order obtained by the government from Dis
trict; Judge Wilkerson at Chicago, restraining the striking
railway shop crafts and the railroad brotherhoods from in
terfering with transportation in prosecution of the shop
men's strike, was assailed today in a suit filed in the supreme
court of the District of Cduirfbia ;by the international broth
erhood of electrical workers, one of the organizations on
strike. The question of jurisdiction of the Chicago court was
also raised by the petition which denied that the plaintiffs
had been guirty of any illegal act "before or since" Julyt 1.

Vice President Stent, 'who for

quickest possible time.
Today less than 20 feet were
cleared on the 3600-foot level of
the Kennedy mine from which
rescue crews for 11 days franti

the Argonaut shaft. This leaves
approximately 260 feet yet to be

bound, collided headon with a
switch engine at Parkwater, four
miles east of here, about 7:30 to
night. At least three of the dead
and all of the injured were train
men. The dead include: O. W. South

the return trip when No. 41 struck
it. The switch engine had just
pulled onto the' track in front of

Four Coaches Derailed.
The first baggage car of No. 41
was turned on its side, the second
baggage car and four coaches were
derailed but remained upright,
and the four rear coaches kept to
the rails. J One of the coaches at
tached to the switch engine was
demolished and another was tel

"No. 41 had the right of way
and could be seen for five miles
on the straight track," Mr. New

MUSICAL CENSUS
Says He Represents School
Board, But Inquiry Shows
He Does- Not
A young man claiming to rep
resent the Salem school board,
visited . several homes, on South
liberty street Thursday, gather
ing statistics as to the number,
sUe, kind, pitch, cost n everything
of the musical brie a brae of the
city in the name of the school
board.
'At seme places the - residents
told him they were not so sure
that it was a matter for the school
board to know or be Interested in,
and they told him what - they
pleased. What he gathered might
be more interesting than reliable
as to Salem's musical aspirations.
As a matter of fact, the school
board doesn't care a hoot: whether
any one plays on a jews harp,
scrapes a horse fiddle, sguawki
a saxophone, beats' 4" -tom-tom,
rattles the bones' or tickles; the
Irorie3 on a grand piano "or the

bridge of one's noso. It recks
not whether a person dotes on
goggly "Vogoer" or goes batty

sings hymns or cradle songs or
Krazy Kat roundelays.
, If the visitor represented that
the school board. wanted to know
all the fqddles and flutes and or
gans and banjos and hurdy-gurdys
it wasn't so. The school board
hasn't the honor of his acquain-1
tance. As already stated.; tho
board simply Isn't Interested in

lem. Anybody can sing, or play',

or trample on the flowers of any
body's home, so far as recorded.

Malheur County Youth' to
Pay Penalty for Killing
George Sweeney
Notwithstanding a move that
developed yesterday to save him
from the gallows George Howard,
25 years old, will pay the death
penalty at the Oregon penitentiary
at 8:30 o'clock this morning for
the murder of George Sweeney of
Vale, Malheur county, in Septem
ber, 1920.
Governor Olcott took the case
under advisement when a petition
in Howard's behalf was presented
him, but last night let It be known
that he win not stop the execu
tion.
Many .Names on Petition.
Two Portland attorneys, B, P.
Mulkey and Charles Garland, and
Father J. R. Buck of Salem, the
latter representing Archbishop
Christie and the Catholic people
of the state, went before the gov-
rnor with a petition carrying 1321
names asking that the death sen
tence be commuted to life impris
onment. Howard's family is of
Catholic affiliation.
As an argument In Howard's be
half the attorneys averred that no
evidence was introduced at the
trial to show that the murder was
premed Itated and argued that
only premeditation should con
stitute cause for a verdict of first
degree murder. They held that
Howard had killed Sweeney in an
altercation and that a verdict of
manslaughter would have been
justified.,'
War Record Cited.
They also called the governor's
attention to the prisoner's youth
and to his war record. Howard
was in the transport service dur

number of trips across 'the At
