they won't be poured Into a

Under the ordinance, if you order

HERRICK ROAD
MADE CARRIER
Portland (P) Word was received
here Tuesday from Washington, D.
C that the Herrlck railroad in
Grant and Harney counties has been
declared a common carrier by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
The line will be known as the Ore
gon & Northwestern railroad.
The line was constructed by and
acquired from the Herrlck inter
ests by the Edward Hinea Western
Pine company. It extends fifty
miles from Senaca to Burns. Under
its contract with the forest service
the operators of the road will be
required to haul livestock and freight
from adjacent territory. This busi
ness, however, is not expected to
amount to more than 250 cars
year at this time.
The road will be used almost en
tirely fc . hauling logs to the Hines
mill at Burn, from the great tim
ber tracts purchased by the com
pany from the government in Mal
heur national forest.
The Hines company Informed the
Interstate Commerce commission
that it expects to cut 120.000,000
feet of lumber a year.

Unfair to Mohair
Washington W An increase of
five cents a pound in the present
duty of 31.1 cents on raw clothing
wool, and the application of the full
rate to wools not finer than No. 50

senate finance subcommittee Tues
day by C. C. Belcher, Del Rio, Texas
representing the Texas sheep and

The house tarlif bill provides
rate of 34 cents on raw wools used

Belcher declared this differential
discriminated against mohair pro
ducers of Texas, whose output rep
resented 80 per cent of the total
American production, while coars

do not compete much with domestic
wool. Belcher said, they do compete
directly with Texas mohair, and
should bear the same rate of duty
as finer wools.

DAWES TO DO
AS HE PLEASES
ABOUT LIQUOR
Washington Officials of the
state department said Tuesday, that
any action Ambassador Dawes or
any other American diplomat
abroad ihlght take to dry up his
embassy was entirely within his
own discretion.
The (question of serving Intoxi
cating Tpeverages in American mis
sions to foreign countries has long
been a debated one 'and many let
ters of inquiry have been received
at the state department from dry
law advocates on the subject.
Charles Evans Hughes, when sec
retary of state, stated in a letter
to a united states senator that he
considered the privilege of liquors
being served In American missions
abroad to be one within the rights
of the diplomats.
Mr. Hughes argued that the Vol
stead act did not prohibit the use
of intoxicating liquors legally ac
quired. Since the liquors which are
served In American embassies and
legations are legally acquired, their
use, he contended, could not right
fully be prohibited by this govern
menu
The state department Is respond
ing to letters from private Indi
viduals since that time has fol

he accompanied the President on

diplomat at the Rome post.
A survey of the whole diplomatic

TELEGRAPHERS
ASK INCREASE
New York, (IP) Wage Increases
ranging up to 62 i -percent with a
few of 70 percent are asked in a
proposed wage contract submitted
to the United Press Tuesday by the
Commercial Telegraphers Union of
America.
A wage of $60 a week for day op
erators printer operators and Morse
telegraphers alike and $65 for night
operators is demanded, with $5 a
week additional to operators em
ployed in bureaus, and $7.50 to those
working In relay offices.
The union seeks to eliminate the
differential between wages now paid
to Morse telegraphers and printer
machine operators, and pay them all
on the same basis.
Double time for overtime, a sub
stantial increase in the Saturday
night wage scale, additional holi
days and separate offices for all op
erators are among the proposals
made by the union.
The management of the United
Press has submitted to the union a
new wage contract which would con
tinue the present scale.

ESCAPE GOES
TO COMPLETE
PRISON TERM
Chicago OP) Robert Elliott Burns,
who escaped seven years ago from
a Georgia prison chain gang and
became publisher of a successful
Chicago real estate magazine, was
to return Tuesday to Georgia to
complete his prison sentence. His
return would be voluntary, he told
Judge Joseph B. David,' of the su
perior court, Monday when habeas
corpus proceedings in his behalf
were dropped.
Burns, who had established him
self here as a real estate promotion
expert and publisher, suddenly saw
the chain gang loom before him
several weeks ago when Georgia
authorities learned his whereabouts.
Burns had been sentenced in 1922
to from six to 10 years at hard la
bor after he and two companions
were arrested for $5 robbery. After
Burns had worked for three months
on state highways, chained to other
convicts, a negro prisoner broke the
iron band. about his ankle and he
escaped.
For the next seven years he pro
gressed from a stockyards laborer
to a high position in the real estate
field. His magazine is reputed to
have earned $20,000. last year.
Two years ago Burns married his
landlady? Mrs. Emily Pacheo, 13
years his senior, after, he said, she
had learned of his prison record
and threatened to expose him. Sev
eral months ago he left her and
went to live with Miss Lillian Salo.
When arrested on the request of
Georgia authorities, Burns declared
he believed his wife, bcause of Jeal

officials. She denied that she had

Tuesday after the most recent effort
to check up possible clues to the
vessel's fate.
Captain Christensen, commanding
the motorship Mexico, which the

Christenson landed, he reported,
but there were no signs that any of
the Kobenhavn's crew had landed
there.
Captain Christenson said he land

would go next to Tristan Bacunha,
where the steamer Helislus was said
to have reported it recently sighted
the Kobenhavn's wreckage. The Ko

Sinclair is how an old resident,
spending his sixth week In the big

six months and Day four, minus a
few days each for good behavior.
The two men who worked side by
side to build up a gigantic oil busi
ness were sentenced for the same
offense, contempt of court. The
charge grew out of their Jury shad
owing activities during the trial of
Sinclair and former Secretary of In

spiracy to defraud tlie government.
Day, with the knowledge and con
sent of Sinclair, hired the Burns
Detective agency to watch and 're

A mistrial was declared as soon as
the Jury shadowing was discovered
