WASHINGTON'. July S. Advices
received by the department' of jus
tice concerning disorders at various
railroad centers in the middle west
resulting in interference with the
malls, caused Acting Attorney Gen
eral Guy D. Gorf to begin prepara
tion late today of a report on the
situation to be laid before Attorney
General Daugherty when he retuVns
to Washington tomorrow or Monday.
CHICAGO, July 8. With the
dawn of the second week of the
shopmen's strike, both sides of the
controversy prepared for an endur
ing struggle.
Chairman Hooper of the labor
board stood firmly in his position
that the strikers had outlawed them
selves, and B. M. Jewell, head of the
shop crafts union, showed no signs
of changing his position.
"If the board has shut the door
on the strikers, the responsibility be
longs to the board." said Mr. Jewell,
when shown press reports of Mr.
Hooper's statement. "All we want
la a square deal and we are going to
get it."
A few railroads reported a "slow
ing up" of their service, due to the
strike. Officials of tho Santa Fe' re
ported that only 35 per cent of their
normal Bhop fores, .of 14,000 is on
the job but that there has been no
interuption of service, due they say,
to the fact that some of the strikers
are returning and men are being
hired to take the places of those who
have left.
Reports from the Baltimore and
Ohio Indicate nearly 10,000 men are
out and there ha3 been some inter
ruption of service. At the Chicago
and Alton shops, where it is admit
ted practically every man laid down
his tools, service was said to be
slightly affected and officials pre
dicted it would become worse. No
great effort Is being made to fill va
cancies, officials said, because of the
lack of proper protection.
A large number of the class one
railroads have served notice on the
striking shopmen that unless they
return to work by Monday, July 10,
they will forfeit all seniority rights
and privileges. While many roads
have reported seme of their em
ployees were remaining on duty, rail
road officials expect the critical test
to come on Monday when the ulti
matum expires.

NEW CIVIL WAR,

Growing Strength Is New
Menace to Peace, With
Numbers, On Gain Naval
Forces Loyal Battle With
Chen Looms.
PEKING, July 8. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) China, torn by civil
warfare for five years past, appar
ently faces a renewal of that condi
tion almost at the 'very moment
when the more optimistic among her
leaders hoped that she was about to
enter a period of peace.
Tire" new menace to a pacific con
dition is the growing strength of Dr.
Sun Yat Sen, president of the over
thrown Canton government of China,
which is backed by Sun's oft-express
ed determination to die in support of
what he believes to be the logical
method of unifying China rather than
to accede to the proposals of his op
ponents. Canton advices to foreign legations
here yesterday brought out word
that Sun's supporters were increas
ing in numbers and power and that
conflict with Chen Chlung-MIng and
his army was inevitable. Efforts of
General Ngai Bong-Ping to mediate
between Sun and Chen seemed to
have failed.
Sun at last report was at Wha-.n-
poa, near Canton, with naval vessels
which had remained loyal to him and
with a force of two thousand men
at his command. His main force,
that which Invaded Kiangsi province,
was reported to bo disposing itself
for a fight with Chen's army, and it
was said that Sun was awaiting only
the arrival of these troops to Initiate
an attack on Chen.
DEATH SENTENCE ON
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 8. Con
vict Ion nnd sentence of death Im
posed upon James K. Mnhoney In the
superior court of King county for the
murder of his aged nnd wealthy wife,
Mrs. Kate Mahoney, was upheld by
the supreme court today. The court
held that the evidence, while largely
circumstantial, was so clear and
overwhelming as to leave no doubt
of Mahoney's guilt. The court over
ruled twenty-three assignments of
error raised by counsel for the de
fendant. and got together to plan the end of
Eddie's visit and his popularity at
one stroke.
Men passing a smnll woods near
tho town heard a boy's cries. They
smelled smoke and rushed into the
woods. Tied to a stake with a fire
eating its way up his legs, was Eddie
Sanderson. They threw water on his
feet and rushed him Into the town.
Kddle at first refused to tell whnt
had happened. Finally he told the
story of his popularity and said the
three boys had chased him, caught
him, carried him Into the woods and
there kindled a fire of paper nnd
sticks, tied him to a stake nnd. ns the
flames started up'. -left him. He was
not burned seriously.

WIMBLEDON STADIUM, July 8
(By the Associated l'ress) Mile.
Suzanne Lenglen of France today
successfully defended her title as
world's tennis champion, by defeat
ing Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory,
American champion, in the final
round of the itnernational grass court
tennis tournament. The score was
0-2, 6-0. .
Mile Lenglens victory came after
a brief, tense struggle marked by
the coolness with which tho French
champion played her game nnd the
brilliancy of her ull-around per
formance. Suzanne was a victor from tho out
set, taking the first set with com
paratively Httlo trouble, 6-2, and
walking away from her American
rival in the second set without
allowing heV opponent a game.
The French girl's display of super
fine tennis in the second set trans
formed a Mallory gallery Into n
Tjenglen one and the winner got . n
deservingly great ovation for her
wonderful display of strokes nnd su
preme control of her nerves.
There was no sign throughout the
match of any possibility of a sensa
tion as a result of feeling on the part
of either of the two players. m
The battle at Wimbledon today for
the women's tennis championship of
the world which ended In victory for
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen Is tho culmi
nation of a three-year struggle for
premier tennis honors between these
two players which In recent months
developed into the keenest and most
personal conflict ever witnessed In
the history of women's sport compe
tition.

LONDON, July 8. (ny Associated
Press). American embassy officials
said today that while no formal repre
sentations had been made by the Brit
ish government looking to tho partici
pation of the United States in allied
efforts to rehabilitate Germany, the
subject had been discussed for some
time In diplomatic and other circles
and the hope expressed that the Unit
ed States might be Induced to lend its
support to the project.
It Is generally pointed out In finan
cial circles here and elsewhere In Eur-
lopo that In the present state of Eur
ope's financial depletion, little can be
dono by tho allies to restore Germany's
shattered economic structure without
the assistance of the United States.
Ambassador Harvey had discussed in
formally with Premier Lloyd George
and other officials the financial plight
of Germany nnd Austria and It is be
lieved the ambassador has laid the
British viewpoint before the state de
partment. '

Checking of the names on the pe

out of about S00 signatures checked
with tho registration cards, 3.1 per
cent have been thrown out as illegal.
At this rate, the petitions will be at
least 200 short when completed of
the required 1235.
Pliers of the petition havo request

The county clerk refused to allow

ed the county clerk that unless the
names were put hack, mandamus
proceedings to compel him to do so
would be instituted. The mandamus
proceedings will be allowed to pro
ceed, as such action will put the bur
den of proof on the recall backers
that the signatures are legal.
John J. Hoogstraat, local kleagle, :
said before the recall was filed that .
the Klan "had no official connection'.'',
with the recall, but looked with more
favor on Mr. Lowe than Sheriff Ter
rlll." Therefore It Is assumed that
Attorney Jeffreys Is acting for other
interests in his threat of a manda- .
mus.
Most of the names thrown off the
petitions are for faulty registration.
Tho Btate law provides that signers
of recall petitions vote, at the last
general election. A majority of the
names come under this provision,
though they voted at the laBt pri
mary many boing sworn In. Wo
men's names predominate on the pe

were stricken because no .initials
were attached. "

sheriff to resign, expire Monday, a
consummation that 'will not come to

this morning- for withdrawal of

the legality of such action is estab

agitation that has centered about the
