AGENTS CHECK SPEECHES
Labor Leaders Who Attack Injunction
May Be Summoned.
Washington, D. C Department of
justice agents Monday were engaged In
listening to' Labor day addresses of or
ganized labor leaders throughout the
country'for assertions which might be
construed as violations of the federal
Injunction against the railroad shop
men's strike.
So far as can be learned here, the
Labor day expressions of speakers In
many cities were confined to denunci
ation of the Injunction as a method ot
dealing with the strike, but could not
be regarded as coming within the scope
of the Injunction Itself.
According to some government of
ficials addresses by persons outside the
specific organizations enjoined which
were directed toward an encourage
ment of the strike might lead to an
extension of the injunction and the at
torney-general, in a telegram from Co
lumbus, O., to an eastern newspaper,
intimated that labor leaders who are
Indulging in defiant talk as a result
of the governments course may be
brought in court.
Replying to a message asking him
to comment on the criticism of the
government's action, the attorney-general
said:
"You may say that the government's
answer to all these discussions will In
due time be made In open court, It it
Is necessary, and that the government,
in the meantime, will pay no attention
to loose and irresponsible conversation
on the part ot people who may them
selves yet be brought into court."
Matthew Woll of Chicago, vice-president
of the American Federation of
Labor, discussing the situation, said:
"While the executive council of the
federation has not the authority to call
a general strike, In my opinion, the
labor movement of America will stand
shoulder to shoulder with the striking
railroad workers. It will encourage,
Bupport, furnish sustenance and pro
vide Intelligent and fearless leadership
If the government succeeds in silenc
ing present leaders.
"It Is no longer a question of protect
ing vested interests, under the cloak
of protecting public convenience and
necessity. It is now a question of pro
tecting the people's rights and liberties
against encroachment from judicial
proclamation and executive despotism."
Japanese Park Opposed.
Los Angeles, Cal. A proposed lease
of 10 acres at White Point, near Fort
MacArthur, on San Pedro harbor, to
Japanese, for 33 years as a pleasure
park, will be halted by Injunction, if
possible, according to announcement
by Thomas Lee Woolwlne, district at
torney.
Efforts to prevent completion of the
lease through appeals to the war and
state departments at Washington and
to Senator Shortrldge have also been
mado.
Bomb Found on Train.
Sau Bernardino, Cal. A bomb
weighing 15 pounds was found Monday
in a car of lubricating oil on a Union
Pacific westbound freight train three
hours after the train arrived here. The
bomb was carried to the athletic field
several hundred feet from the Santa
Fe depot, by a deputy United States
marshal, and exploded from concus
sion as the marshal threw It over a
bluff into the field. Fragments were
hurled hundreds of feet.
Boxer Strikes and Dies.
EaBton, Pa. Five minutes after he
knocked down Elmer Cross, his Bpar
ring partner, In a training bout Mon-
day, LouIb Barresc, a boxer, dropped
dead. Over-exertion was given as the
causo of his death, but Cross was held
by the police pending a coroner's ver
dict Legion Men Honor Dead.
London. The delegation of Ameri
can legion members now touring Eng
laud held memorial services In Brook-
wood cemetery near Loudon Monday.
Wreaths were laid on the graves of
450 American victims ot the war bur
ied here.

Drastic Step Taken to Keep
All Cars Moving.
INJUNCTION ISSUED
Sweeping Order Given in Federal
Court Forbidding Any Inter
ference With Traffic.
Chicago. By one ot the most dras
tic steps ever taken in a strike situa
tion, the United States government
Friday obtained a temporary federal
order restraining striking railroad
shopmen, their officers and affiliated
bodies throughout the country from
Interfering in any way whatever with
the operation of the nation's railroads.
The restraining order, hearing on
which was set for September 11, was
Issued by Federal Judge Wllkerson,
upon the petition of Attorney-General
Daugherty, who came here from
Washington to argue the action.
The order enjoins, until the hearing,
all railway employes, attorneys, ser
vants, agents, associates and all per
sons acting In aid or In conjunction
with them from in any manner inter,
ferlng with, hindering or obstructing
railway companies, their agents, ser
vants or employes in the operation of
their respective railroads and sys
tems of transportation, or the per
formance of their public duties and
obligations in the transportation of
passengers and property, in interstate
commerce and the carriage of the
mails, and from in any manner inter
fering with employes engaged in in
spection, repair, operation and use of
trains, locomotives, cars and other
equipment, and from attempting to
prevent any person, from freely en
tering Into or continuing in the em
ploy of the companies for the purpose
ot Inspection and repairing of loco
motives and cars or otherwise.
The underlying principle involved
in the action, the attorney-general
said in concluding his argument for
the order, is "the survival and the
supremacy of the government of the
United States."
Declaring that his request was not
aimed at union labor, the attorney
general said thai the step was neces
sary to the preservation of the unions
themselves. At the same time he as
serted that the government expected
to use its authority to prevent the "la
bor union from destroying the open
shop."
"When the unions claim the right
to dictate to the government and to
dominate the American people and de
prive the American people of the ne
cessities of life," he warned, "then the
government will destroy the unions,
for the government ot the United
States Is supreme and must endure."
The railway employes' department
ot the American Federation ot Labor,
B. M. Jewell, Its president; J. F. Mc
Grath, vice-president, and John Scott,
secretary-treasurer, together with the
six shopcrafts brotherhoods, the 120
system federations and their presi
dents and secretaries, were made de
fendants In the attorney-general's pe
tition.
Officials ot the shop crafts asserted
that the order would have no effect
on continuance of the strike.
Injured Soldier Dies.
Camp Lewis, Wash. Private Carl
C. Lobo ot the 10th field artillery died
at the camp hospital here Friday
morning from Injuries suffered when
his horse slipped and fell with him
Lebo was doing guard duty at the
time of the accident .and was so badly
crushed that he did not' regain con
sciousness. His futher, Joseph Lebo,
lives In Seattle, and he has a brother,
Howard, in the same battery.

ber above McKenxie bridge, a silver

mal, Greenup & Greiger, are making

ommendation for a sentence ot lite

But at the table that noon Aunt
Jane read It to Father out loud. So
that's how I came to know just what
was in it. She started first to hand it
over to him to read ; but as he put out
his hand to take it I guess lie saw
the handwriting, for he drew back
quickly, looking red and queer.
"From Mrs. Anderson to you?" he
asked. And when Aunt Jane nodded
her head he sat still farther back lu
his chair and said, with a little wave
of his hand, "I never care to read
other people's letters."
Aunt Jane sold, "Stuff and nonsense,
Charles, don't be silly!" But she
pulled back the letter and read it
after giving a kind ot an uneasy
glance in my direction.
Then Aunt Jane cleared her throat
and spoke.
"You will not let her go, of course,
Charles; but naturally I had to read
the letter to you. I will write to Mrs-.
Anderson tonight."
Father looked up then.
"Yes," he said quietly; "and you
may tell her, please, that Mary will
go." r
"Charles I"
Aunt Jane said that. But I I al
most ran around the table and hugged
him. (Oh, how I wish be was the kind
ot a father you could do that to I)
"Charles!" suld Aunt Jane again.
"Surely you aren't going to give In so
tamely as this to that child and her
mother I"
"I'm not giving In at all, Jane," said
Father, very quietly again. "I am con
sulting my own wishes In the mutter,
I prefer, to have her go."
I I 'most cried out then. Some way,
It hurt to have him say It like that,
right out that he wanted me to go.
You see, I'd begun to think he was
getting so he didn't mind so very much
having me here. All the lust two
weeks he'd been different, reully dif
ferent But more ot thnt anon. I'll
go on with what happened at the table.
And, as I said, I did feel bad to have
him speak like that. And I can re
member now Just how the lump came
right up In my throat
Tli en Aunt June spoke, stiff and dig
nified. "Oh, very well, of course, It you put
It that way. I can quite well under
stand that you would want her' to go
for your sake. But I thought that,
under the circumstances, you would
manage somehow to put up with the
noise and"
"Jane I" Just like that he Interrupt
ed, and he thundered, too, so that
Aunt June actually Jumped. And I
guess I did, too. He had sprung to
his feet. "Jane, let us close this mat
ter once for all. I am not letting the
child go for my sake. I am letting
her go for her own. So far as I am
concerned, If I consulted no one's
wishes but my own, I should keep
her here always."
With that he turned and strode from
the room, leaving Aunt Jane and me
Just staring after Mm.
But only for a minute did I stare.
It cume to me then what he hud said
that he would like to keep me here
always. For I had heard It, even If be
had said the last word very low, and
lu a queer, Indistinct, voice. I was
sure I had heard it, and I suddenly
realized wlfut It nieuut. So I ran after
him; and that time, If I had found
hliu, I think I would have hugged him.
But I didn't find li i til. He must have
gone quite away from the house. He
wasn't even out to the observatory. I
went out to see.
The next day he was more as he has
been since we had that talk In the
parlor. And he has been different
since then, you know. He reully hus.
He has talked quite a lot with me, as
I have suld, and I think he's been try
Ing, part of the time, to find something
I'll be Interested lu. Honestly, I think
he's been trying to make up for Carrie
Heywood and Stella Muyhew and
Churlle Smith and Mr. Livingstone. I
think thut'i why he took me to walk
that duy In the woods, and why he
took me out to the observatory to see
the stars quite a number of times.
Twice he's asked me io play to him
and once he asked me If Mary wasn't
about ready to dress up In Marie's
clothes again. But he was Joking
then, I knew, for Aunt Jane wss right
there In the house. Besides, I saw the
twinkle In his eyes that I've seen there
once or twice before. I Just love that
twinkle In Father's eyes I
But thnt hasn't come any since
Mother's letter to Aunt Jane arrived.
He's been the same In one way, yet
different In another. Honestly, If It
didn't seem too wildly absurd for any
thing, I should say he was actually
orry to have me go. But, of course,
that Isn't possible. Oh, yea, I know he
suld that dny at the dinner table that
he should like to keep me always. But
1 don't think he really meant It He
hasn't acted a mite Ilk that since, and
I guess he said It Just to hush up Aunt
Jane, and make her stop arguing the
matter.
Anyway, I'm going tomorrow. And
I'm so excited I can hardly breathe.
CHAPTER VI.
When I Am Both Together.
BOSTON AGAIN.
Well, I came last night. Mother and
Grandfather and Aunt Hattle and
Baby Lester all met me at the station.
And, my I wasn't I glad to see them?
Well, I just guess I was I
I was speciully glad on account of
having such a dreadful time with Fa
ther that morning. I mean, I was
feeling specially lonesome and home
sick, and not-belonglng-anywhere like.
He never even spoke at the break
fast-table. (He wasn't there hardly
long enough to speak, anyway, and he
never ate a thing, only his coffee I
mean he drank It.) Then he pushed
his chair back from the tuble and
stalked out of the room.
He went to the station with me;
but he didn't talk there much, only to
ask If I was sure I hadn't forgotten
anything, and was I warmly clad.
Warmly dud, Indeed! And there It
was still August, and hot as It could
be! But that only goes to show how
absent-minded lie was, and how little
he was really thinking bf me I
Oh, I did so hope he wouldn't go
down to the Junction. It's so hard to
be token care of "because It's my duty,
you know 1" But he weut. I told him
he needn't, when he was getting on
the train with me. I told him I just
knew I could, do It beautifully all by
myself, almost-a-young lady like me.
But he only put his lips together hard,
There Was Company That Evening.
The Violinist
and said, coid, like Ice: "Are you then
so eager to be rid of me?" Just as If
I was the one that was eager to get
rid of somebody I
Well, as I said, he went. But he
wasn't much better on the train than
he had been In the station. He was as
nervous and fidgety as a witch, and he
acted as If he did so wish it would be
over, and over quick. But at the
Junction at the Junction a funny thing
happened. He put me on the train,
Just as Mother find done, and spoke to
the conductor. (How I hated to have
hliu do that I Why, I'm six whole
months older, 'most than I was when
I went up there!) And then, when
he'd put me In my sent (Father, I
mean ; not the conductor), all of a sud
den he leaned over and kissed me;
kissed me Father! Then, before 1
could speak, or even look at him, he
was gone; and I didn't see him ngnln
though it must have been five whole
minutes before tlmt train went
I had a nice trip down to Boston,
though nothing much happened. This
conductor was not near so nice and
polite as the one I hud coining up;
and there wasu t any lady with a
baby to play with, nor any nice young
gentleman to loan me magazines or
buy candy for me. But It wasn't a very
long ride from the Junction to Boston,
auyway. So I didn't mind. Besides.
I knew I had Mother waiting for me.
And wasn't I glad to get there?
Well, I Just guess I was! And they
acted as If they w ere glad to see me
Mother, Grandfather, Aunt Hattle, and
even Baby Lester. He knew me, and
remembered me. Hed grown a lot
too. And they said I had, and that I
looked very nice, (t forgot to say that
ot course, I had put on the Marie
clothes to come home In though I
ill
honestly think Aunt Jane wanted to
send me borne In Mary's blue gingham
and calfskin shoes. As if I'd have ap
peared In Boston In that rig !)
My, but it was good to -get into an
automobile again and just go! And It
was so good to have folks around you
dressed in something besides don't-care
black alpaca and still collars. And I
said so. And Mother seemed so
pleased.
"You did want to come back to me,
darling, didn't you?" she cried, giving
me a little hug. And she looked so
happy when I told her all over again
how good it seemed to be Marie again,
and have her and Boston, and automo
biles, and pretty dresses and folks
and noise again.
She didn't say anything about Father
then; but later, when we were up In
my pretty room alone, and I was tak
ing off my things, she made me tell
her that Father hadn't won my love
away from her, and thut I didn't love
hlin better than I did her; and that
I wouldn't rather stay with hiui than
with her.
And she asked was he lonesome;
and I told her no, I didn't think so;
and that, anyway, he could have all
the ladles' company he wanted by just
being around when they called. And
when she asked what I meant, I told
her about Mrs. Darling, and the rest,
and how they came evenings and Sun
days, and how Father didn't like them,
but would flee to the observatory. And
she laughed and looked funny, for a
minute. But right away she changed
and looked very sober, with the kind
of expression she has when she stands
up In church nnd says the Apostles'
Creed on Sunday; only this time she
said she was very sorry, she was sure ;
that she hoped my father would find
some estimable woman who would
make a good home for him.
Then the dlnner-gong sounded, and
she didn't say any more.
There was company that evening.
The violinist. He brought his violin,
and he and Mother pluyed a whole
hour together. He's awfully handsome.
I think he's lovely. Oh, I do so hope
he's the one! Anyhow, I hope there's
some one. I don't want this novel to
all fizzle out without there being any
one to make It a love story I Besides,
as I said before, I'm particularly anx
ious that Mother shall find somebody
to marry her, so she'll stop being di
vorced, anyway.
A MONTH LATER
Yes, I know It's been ages since I've
written here In this book; but there
Just hasn't been a minute's time.
First, of course, school begun, and
I had to attend to that. And, of
course, I had to tell the girls all
about Andersonville except the parts
I didn't want to tell, about Stella May
hew, and my coming out of school. I
didn't tell that. And right here let me
say how glad I wus to get back to this
school a real school so different
from that one up in Andersonville!
For that matter, everything's different
here from what It Is In Andersonville.
I'd so much rather be Marie than
Mary. I know I won't ever be Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde here. I'll be the
good one all the time.
Mother's a dear. And she's so hap
py ! And, by the way, I think It Is the
violinist. He's here a lot, and she's
out with him to concerts and plays,
and riding in his automobile. And
she always puts on her prettiest
dresses, and she's very particular
about her shoes, and her huts, thnt
they're becoming, and all that. Oh, I'm
so excited! And I'm having such a
good time watching them I Oh, I don't
mean watching them In a disagreeable
way, so that they see It; and, of
course, I have to get all I can for the
book, you know; and, ot course, If I
Just happen to be In the window-seat
corner In the library and hear things
accidentally, why, that's all right.
And I have heard things.
He says her eyes are lovely. He
likes her best in blue. He's very lone
ly, and he never found a woman be
fore who really understood him. He.
thinks her soul and his are tuned to
the same string. (Oh, dear! That
sounds funny and horrid, and not at
all the way it did when he said It It
was beautiful then. But well, that
is what It meant, anyway.)
She told him she was lonely, too,
and that she was very glad to have
him for a friend ; nnd he said he prized
her friendship above everything else in
the world. And he looks nt her, and
follows her around the room with his
eyes; and she blushes up real pink
and pretty lots ot times when he comes
into the room.
Now, If that Isn't making love to
each other, I don't know what Is. I'm
sure he's going to propose. Oh, I'm
so excited!
I haven't heard from Father.
Now just my writing thut down that
way shows that I expected to hear
from him, though I don't really see
why I should, either. Of course, he
never has written to me; and, of
course, I understand that I'm nothing
but his daughter by order of the court
But, some way, I did think maybe he'd
write me Just a little bit of a note In
answer to mine my bread and butter
letter, I mean ; for, of course, Mother
had me write that to him as soon as
I got here.
But he hasn't
I wonder how he's getting along, and
if he misses me any. But, ot course,
he doesn't do that If I was a star,
now I
