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.

permanent Injunction to prevent
United States Attorney Gordon

JACKSON, Cat., Sept. 7 (By
the Associated Press.) E. A.
Stent, vice president of the Argo

that the 47 miners entombed in
the Argon&ui. .nUne here .have per

by fire a week ago Sunday night.
"I eadly tear that all we can
do Is to bring out tho 47 -bodies,'
Mr. Stent told; the Associated

hope for; the rescue of many.
If any of the men. I do not plaee
any credence in the, alleged re

Vice President Stent, 'who for
30 years had been Identified with
the mother- lode of Amador coun
ty, declared that despite the be
lief on the part of the company
officials that the interred miners
are dead, every effort would be
put forth to reach the men In the
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
cally halve been burrowing toward
the Argonaut shaft. This leaves
approximately 260 feet yet to be
tunneled before the crews will
strike a solid rock formation

hours of constant drilling to pene

rock on the 3900-foot level held

about .12 feet.
v Crews on both ' the 8600-foot
levels are working in clay and

could be made through solid rock.
Men are working ankle deep in
mud which la . so thick it sticks

In his statement tonight, Vice
Fresldent Stent added: .
"It Is barely possible that a

SPOKANE, Wash.. Sept. 7.
Four men were killed and six
were injured when Northern Pa
cific passenger train No.' 41, west
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
ern, engineer of No. 41; Ed
Hodous, engineer of the switch en
gine and the electrician of No. 41.
The, body of the fourth man was
found beneath the trucks of one of

the work of clearing away the
wreckage had been started.

According to L. S. Newton, of
the western division of the North
ern Pacific, the switch engine had
taken four coaches of .guards from
this city to the shops at Park
water and had started to cross
over to the west vound track for
the return trip when No. 41 struck
it. The switch engine had just
pulled onto the' track in front of
tho passenger train.
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
escoped and derailed. '
"No. 41 had the right of way
and could be seen for five miles
on the straight track," Mr. New
ton said. ; "Its headlight was shin
ing brightly. I am unable to un
derstand I why, the crew of the
switch engine, crossed over to .the
westbound track in view of these

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
toes of a pianola. It doesn't

bridge of one's noso. It recks
not whether a person dotes on
goggly "Vogoer" or goes batty
over wild-eyed, jazz; whether he
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
the private musical vices of Sa
lem. Anybody can sing, or play',
or deliver pantomime songs with
out either words or music.
The statistical visitor didn't
kick the dogs or steal the peaches
or trample on the flowers of any
body's home, so far as recorded.
Nobody lost anything but two or
three minutes. But the school
board, according to reliable in
formation, doesn't belong in the
statistical Inquisition. It has

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
ing the war and made a large
number of trips across 'the At
