Fulkerson, county school super intendent, are made the defend ants, although that fact denotes in no way whatever their personal standing on the matter, as they are members of the county boun dary board which Is investigating the matter. j , The opponents of ' the plan to dissolve the school' declare that illegal votes in the? Manning dis trict, one of the units of the union district, caused the election to swing in favor of disbanding the school. Two ballots are contested, on the grounds that the voters were not residents of the district. 4 It Is further stated that con tracts with the teachers have been signed for the coming term, and that the board has no authority to break the contracts. Another ar gument for the continuation of the union district is that the parents can give their children the bene fit of a high school education at jnuch less cost than if they were sent to another district. In order to disband a union dis trict. It is necessary: that a major ity. of the voters favor the dissolu tion.' In the case at hand, it is de clared that the necessary majority is lacking. I SLIDE FORMS HUGE LAKE ENTIRE CONTOUR OF VALLEY CHANGED BY AVALANCHE JACKSON. Wyo., June 25.- (By The Associated Press.) The geography of the famous Jack son's Hole region was permanent ly changed ;by the gigantic land slide of Tuesday, forest officials say, the Gros Valley; above the natural dam formed when the north end of Sheep mountain crashed into it now being' destin ed to become a lake more than a mile in width, six to seven- miles long and nearly 200 feet deep. Jt will take four weeks, it is esti mated, for the river tq fill the lake. i The slide was preceded by earth tremors, which were left here lR6t Sunday. Another tremor was felt yesterday and it is feared that further slides may!: take place' as other parts of the! mountainside, undermined by the hidden seepage of .melting snow, are believed to be loosened. I The escape of Gil , Huff, the rancher . who raced before the avalanche on a fast horse 'for a half mile, was almost miraculous. Huff was riding near his ranch when the mountain above him. densely covsrc'd with forest, began to move. Huff turned and began his desperata ride. The slide with a tremendous roara bore down on him. a wall of boulders, trees and earth nearly a hundred feet hig-b. His frenzied horse, struck by fly inr stones, finally leaped to higher ground at one side; and' the slide piitsed him by only a tew feet," ho reported. t Huff dashed to his home where his wife and daughter were. The slide had narrowly ' missed ' the building. Today it is under many feet of water. He saved his be longings by working through the night. Several head of his cattle vere killed. Two ranches above his are wiped out and it is feared that the forest ranger station is in danger of being submerged by rising watere. i : .

The Greek government, under, the premier ship f MIchalakoupoulos, has been deposed and a new govern ment under military control. The revolutionary movement started at dawn simultaneously in Athens, in Salonlki, when anti-government forces, after a brief and harmless fussilade, seized the telegraph of fices and cut communications. The military movement had been foreseen for several days but up to the last minute the government had declared itself master of the situation and was absolutely con vinced of the loyalty of the troops. At five o'clock this morning, however, General Pangalos, who was former generalissimo of the Greek army and held the office of minister of war for a short time, with a number of "officers occu pied the barracks of the jegiment of engineers and forthwith issued an ultimatum to the government demanding its resignation and hplding the ministry responsible for any bloodshed. At the same time n-n ultimatum was issued by Admiral Hadjikiriakos, former minister of marine, who was aboard the warship Aver, and by the commander of the troops at Saloniki. ? The whole of the Athens garrl Bon did not at first declare In favor of the revolution and Pre mier MIchalakoupoulos and his cabinet remained in session in the parliament building guarded by loyal troops. f In the afternoon General Pan galos and his. staff took up Quar ters at the war ministry, where he assumed the attitude of leader of the. revolution and Issued .orders accordingly. - In the meantime the government resigned, and the pro visional president of the republic, Admiral Coundouriotis, sent out an urgent summons to the parlia mentary leaders. . He invited M. Papanastasion, former premier, to organize a cabinet, but in political circles' it is generally believed that Pangalos has designs upon the premiership and would not likely be willing to serve under Papanastasioav : Admiral Hadjlrlkiakos assumed command of the fleet and is ex pected to become minister of mar ine. It is understood Admiral Coundouriotis intended to resign the presidency but was disuaded. Though there were possibilities of a really serious situation the revolution from a military stand point was a mild affair and except (Continued pg 2) !-' AMERICANS SAID SAFE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SHOOT ING IS NOT YET FI.XED : WASHINGTON, June 25.

RAPE APPEAL ARGUED ATTORNEY IN HIGH COURT WITH MAC LAREN CASE ,Appeal of Allen MacLaren, son of W. G. MacLaren, members of the state parole board, Gladwin Lawpaugh and Archie Livingston, was heard by the supreme court Thursday. All three youths live in Portland and were convicted in the Clackamas county court on a rape charge. . All were sentenced to the penitentiary. A" previous trial in Multnomah county resulted in an accquital. The case grew out of a "pick up" of three Portland girls, 17, 18 and 19. years old, the night of July 28, 1923. The boys drove south near the county boundary line where the alleged attack upon one of the girls is said to have taken place.
