RIFFS FACE
OFFENSIVE BY
TWO NATIONS
France and Spain Reach
Agreement To Finish
Moroccan Campaign
Jointly.
raris, Aug. 1 (AD If Abd-el-Krlin,
leader of the warring Riff
Jans In .Morocco had rather fight
than negotiate for peace the
French and Spanish aro ready to
accommodate him. This was the
effect of a statement made today
by Premier Painleve of France.
The premier declared that the
French marshal, 1'ctaln, and Gen
eral Primo de Rivera, head of the
BpanlKh military directorate reach
ed an agreement at their recent
conference In Morocco for joint
Franco-Spanish operations against
Abd-el-Krlm "if he prefers to fight
rather than to negotiate."
M. Painleve intimated the com
bined offensive will take place
oon. This Is supposed to mean
the Freiteh desire to finish the
Moroccan campaign before the
rainy reason which commences in
October and during which military
operations will be almost impos
sible. LOVE OF
New York, Aug. 1 The love of
Hugh McQuillan, pitcher of the

happy with you. Let me have my
freedom so I can marry this girl.

roe happy. I will pay you a cer
tain sum nt regular intervals."
Mrs. McQuillan filed an affidavit
saying that Manager John McGraw
told her last winter that her hus-
tand had been spending his nights

The pitcher deposed that his
wife deserted him, taking a check

The- crest of th0 flood In the

today. Dikes surrounding the city
are holding but fear Is cxpresaed
that farme In the lower valleys
would suffer from overflow.
Dikes on the Mexican eide be

greatest and will avert serious
damage.
Crews are working feverishly
under direction of L. M. Lawson.

precaution against the flood.
Sacks, shovels and lanterns
havo been obtained from Fort

has offered the use of soldiers and
trucks.
Arroyos at Hatch and Rincon,
N. M., above El Paso, were still
feeding heavy beads of water in
to the Ria Grande late today, re

A washout on the Santa Fe rail

noseburg, Aug. 1 Following the
county court's condemnation of the
detour provided around the work
on the Pacific highway at Oakland,
traffic is being permitted over the
road where the work Is In progress
Yesterday travel waa routod over
the old Goodrich highway, turning
off about four miles north of Oak
land, and going over Cole hill and
into Oakland through Old Town.
This detour was about five miles
long and over a rough and dan
gerous road, which has been prac
tically abandoned; tourists were
cut out of about four miles of pav
ed road.
The obstruction, which the con
tractor claimed necessitated the
detour was only 150 yards In
length, and the county court last
night ordered that some easier way
around bo provided. As a result
of this action cars are being al
lowed through todny and it Is ex
pected that a short detour will be
arranged through an adjoining
field.
The '.fork is being done at the
north approach of the new Oak
land bridge and overhead. A steam
shovel is being lifted to dig out dirt
for the fill and the heavy trucks
hauling the dirt keep the highway
blocked much of the time.

the Interests of tho new water ays.
tern proposed for Medford.
It Is proposed to bring the water
33 miles by steci pipe from Big
Butte creek, and the estimated
cost of the enterprise will be be
tween $800,000 and $900,000. For
the last -6 years the city has got
ten Us water from Little Butt
creek by wood pipes and the sys
tem is unsatisfactory in the ex

conflicts with the rights of Irriga

on Big Butte will be practically
oxclusive. A special election to

Family Circle Still In
Washington.
Washington, Aug. 1. A simple
wooden marker, set aside the
withering clusters of blossomy
that hid his grave, alone marked
tho last resting plaee of William
Jennings Bryan in Arlington na
tional cemetery.
Just over the hillcrest stand
the row on row of white head
stones above the soldier dead who
lost their lives in France. Closer
about the more Imposing monu
ments of tho officer dead with
whom he keeps his last encamp
ment and all about are the signs
of the orderly reverent care with
which the nation surrounds the
last sleep of those it has called to
its service.
Plan Stone Memorial
One day a stone memorial will
be erected to tell in graven let
tering that the commoner lies here
on this peaceful slope. But It is
yet too soon for the stricken
widow, the brother, the children
and the grand children of the dead
to have made their plans for that
permanent testimonial to their
love.
The broken family 'circle was
still in Washington today, gath
ering again the threads of every
day things of life to which they
must turn back.
Other members of the family
planned to leave tonight for their
homes. Former Governor Charles
W. Bryan expected to go direct to
Omaha and prepare to fill the lec
ture engagement he has made for
the weeks ffhend. Those of them
who could planned to stay on a
day or two with the mother.
Widow Cheerful
After the last service at the
gravo Inte yesterday many of the
old political antf personal friends
of the commoner left for their
homes and others boarded their
trains today. There, was no defi
nite step taken among them to
ward a memorial to the dead
leader, nor is it likely that the
question will be opened until Mrs.
Bryan has Indicated her wishes.
The widow appeared well and
cheerful todny after a night's
rcstiul sleep and It is considered
probable that she would leave for
Florida with her household to
night. William Jennings Bryan,
the son, will accompany her.
"Mrs. Bryan continues to be a
marvel of resolution, of faith, nnd
trust," Walter E. Thompson, the
Bryan secretary said. "She
deeply grieved, hut fs sustained
In a wonderful way In her sorrow
by her faith. She Is quite cheer
ful." Today a group of the faithful
friends and attendants of Mrs.
Bryan In her hours of grief visilrd
places of interest In the city as
guests of tho bereaved woman.

ager of Jn-k Dempscy, in connec
tion with the publication of the

announced, Kearn must do the
necessary signing, possibly next
Tuesday, when the New York
state athletic omisUon is slated
to dispose of the Jjcmpsey-WlIIf
.'situation.
Although Dcmpsey nnd Kearns
aro understood to have a further
agreement whereby ring profits
are spilt fifty-fifty f the contract,

receives two-thirds and Kearns
one-third.
The contract was executed her?

fore. Sheriff Bower asked Hayes.
Hayes eyed j,hc visitor for a few
moments.
"Well, yes, I guess he does look

half a grin appeared on his face.
The Eugene hotel clerk did not
hesitate, but stated unquestion

Hayes recently signed a written
confession before Special Agent

Lo ml on , Aug. 1 ( A I ) Not -withstanding
tint Die financial as
sistance wbif'h the government Is
to glvo to tho mine owners will
add, according to unofficial figures
something lie 10.000,000 pounds
sterling to the country's budget,
there Is a great sense of relief that
a miners strike affecting more than
a million me:i has been prevented.
Strike noticeH had been Issued
several days no to tako effect nt
midnight ln.st night, and tho carry
ing out of tho threat was averted
only by the lat minute offer of
the government to give financial
aid to tho mine owners to enable
them to maintain tho present wage
scale. The agreement carrying the
present scale of wnges, was to have
expired nt midnight and It was a
new ngrcenirnt proposed by tho
mine owners to supercede It with
Its clauses Involving decreased
wagen and' a longer working day
that brought the strike threat.
Under the arrangements made
yesterday to prevent a strike which
would have caused one of the
worst Industrial calamities In re
cent times, the miners will remain
at work receiving the same wages
as they did under the old agree
ment, and remain In the pits the
same number of hours each day ns
at present. The government will
grant financial help to the owners
until May 1, 1926.
If In any month the wanes paid
to the men exceed the recognized
ratio of division between wages
and profits are lower In any dis
trict, then tho wanes payablo at
the minimum percentage under
the agrerinent the exchequer will
make up, the deficiency. In any
month In which tho estimated av
erage profit of a district In which
subvention Is payable exceeds fif
teen pence per ton, the excess will
be used In the reduction of the
amount of the subvention.
Yett'rd.iy's victory for the min
ers, for they regarded It as fiu;h.
has brought joy to the entire labor
world nnd the labor leaders at
tributed It to the solid support giv
en to, the miners by the trade union
movement.
