LOCAL TROUBLE TO
COME FROM STRIKE

Should the great strike materialize
it will be felt in many ways by the
Ipeople of the valley One effect is
already manifest. in the preparations
ot many persons to return home be-
IfcIe Monday from the coast. The out
lock is that the travel during the next
icy days will be the heaviest ever ex,
irerienced Most of those on vacations
were planning to come home soon at
Iapy rate. and the threatened strike
win simply hasten the return by few
days.
Business men are. making special ef-
forts to get supplies in to carry them
Through the period in which the strike
ray extend, but there win be found
to be many perishable commodities
which cannot be held to cover a long
pt riod, and the valley is apt to find It.
self cut off from such supplies.
There is possibility, however, that
u ucks viii be able to keep up the sup
plies for the valley in many respects,
though the condition Of the roads is not
favorable for this.
The greatest disadvantage encour-
tered will be in the blockade of ship
ments from the valley, and there is lia-
bic to be q period in which this will
b. seriously felt.
Fortunately, however, the shipments
fft m the valley at this period Of the
W ar are not of q perishable nature, ex-
cept butter, and in emergency that can
be shipped by trucks. There will be no
sleh local loss as will be sustained in
the fruit producing sections Of the
state.
Should the strike be long continued
il may impress on Los Angeles the
desirability Of rushing to completion
the road from this valley, which is
av aited to make extensive freighting
possible.
Many merchants have received tele-
grams advising them to order by wire
for immediate shipment any goods
Trey may need in sixty days, and many
are following the advice. though the
developments in Washington today in
dicate a probability that the strike
will be averted.
While there seems to be disposition

It will greatly promote President Will
sons prospects, it is not probable they
viii dare carry out their threats, but
will fall in line with the administra-
tons program for averting the strike,
ir which event the legislation will be
rushed through both houses of congress
and at once signed.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS IN N. Y.
Epidemic Has Taken Over 27O Lives
So Far This Summer.

New York-After a conference of
federal, state and city health Off
Gals in this city Sunday to discuss
plans to check the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis which already has
cost 27O lives here, DR.. w. c. Rucker,
assistant surgeon general of the fed
eral public health service, returned
to Washington, D. c., to expedite the
importation of monkeys for expert
mental purposes.
The chief problem now confronting
the health department., officials said,
is the danger to the general public of
the carrier" child or adult who
may have the disease, and, without
being aware of the fact, or showing
symptoms of it, can communicate it
to others. 1t is hoped by experiments
on monkeys to determine how the
disease is spread. They have proved
in the past more valuable than any
other animals for research work.
DR.. Emerson said the department
is doing everything within its resour-
ces to cope with the plague, but that
the service can be improved.

40 Persons Reported Missing Aboard

New Orleans.-The positive death
list from the gulf coast hurricane and
a series of storms and floods July
that followed in Alabama and Geor-
gia stands at nine, with at least 40
persons reported missing aboard
small schooners in the gulf.
Property damage probably will
reach s5,OO0,OOO.
The rainfall throughout central Al
ALBANIA has been almost without pre-
cedent and has been accompanied by
destructive winds. Saturday the dis
turbance moved over southwest Geor-
gia, demolishing farm houses, flood
ing streams and causing heavy dam
age to railroad property. At Colum-
bia, Ala, rescuers worked all day
bringing persons from trees along
the flooded Omussee creek.
First reports from Pensacola, Fla,
since Wednesday,, Saturday, brought
the news that the city passed through
the hurricane without loss of life,
though heavy damage was done to
waterfront property and to shipping.
Passengers arriving at Meridian,
Miss, declare the waterfront was
badly wrecked and that great dam
age was done to buildings.

CALLS THEM "WAR VULTURES''
David Starr Jordan Rape Persons
Who Would EmbroiI This Country
In Big War.

New York.-The danger of war
with Mexico is not half so great as
the danger American peace and pros
perity has to fear from "war vul.
tures," said David Starr Jordan, the
chancellor emeritus of Leland Stan
ford university, in an address before
several hundred delegates in the an
nual meeting of the American School
Peace league, held in connection with
the National Education associations
annual convention.
Must Clear Out Carbon.
"This graver peril" said DR.. Jor-
dan, "is brought about by those who
would like to hurl the United States
into war. Wherever there is carrion,
there you will find the vultures. Am
erica must help clear Mexico of its
carrion. This done, then the vulture
will seek elsewhere for it's prey"
Mr.. Jordan held ut would be the
crime Of all ages" for the United
States to intervene in Mexico. He at
tackled the war propagandists" and
insisted that the most recent trouble
from border raids was instigated SOLE
ly by tools" of American and Eng
lish capitalists, engaged in "nefar-
ious and despicable plot to embroil
the two countries"
Raid Plans knokn.
DR.. Jordan made the direct charge
that the plans for the Columbus, N.
M, and other raids were known in
81 Paso, Texas, and Douglas, Ariz.,
two days before their actual occur
renee, and had it not been for the
propagandists being partly successful
in murderous work, New York state
troops would not now be suffering

untamed Indian, the prize tool of the
American "war vultures." Carranza

crisis, gives every promise of becom-
