That the storage capacity for
gasoline in Pendleton permits of
keeping only enough on hand
here to last two or three days
was stated today by Il. B. Dewitt,
local manager for the Standard
Oil Co. Consequently II n strike

line famine. With the harvest

mates the principal hardship

GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE
Road Executives Reject All Proposals of President Bothehood Declare Leg
islae PogaHas Failed Alter Their Decision Strike September
Fourth Only Eight Hour Day Concession by Road Can Prevent Wao
EMBARGO PUT ON
FREIGHT SHIPMENTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3d.
God forgive you, cannot"
exclaimed President Wilson at
the conclusion of the final in
terview with railroad execu-
tives when they rejected every
proposal.
Wilson is exerting every eff
fort to persuade the trainmen
to withdraw the September
fourth strike order.
Administration officials de-
clared that trainmen will gain
nothing by striking Monday.
If the trainmen struck while
congress was actually consider
ing favorable legislation natl
onal sentiment might tremend-
ously react against the unions.
The Brotherhoods indicated no
intention of revoking the strike
order.
Officials hoped the public
would urge a strike delay, un-
til congress had time to consid-
er Wilson's legislation. The
strike order includes every
Brotherhood man, in the pas
senger and freight service.
The unions formally decided
that Wilson's legislative pro-
gram had not altered their
strike decision. Prominent
Brotherhood members asserted
that only the railroad accept
ance of the eight hour day can
halt their plans. Secretary
Garretson denied that Wilson
had flatly asked him to post
pone the strike. He also de-
nied that the strike was post
poned.

CONFEDERATION

Fire partially destroyed the resi-.
dence of Peter Schantz, S14 Avenue
B, early yesterday morning. Mem
bers of the fire department respond
ed to the call promptly and it is due
to the efforts Of Chief Thompson and
his crew of valiant fire fighters that
a serious conflagration was averted.
The call came at 4:30 in the morn
ing and the blaze Quenchers were
soon on duty and in short time
had complete control of the fire. Mr..
Shantz had been having some paint
ing and other renovating done to his
residence and the fire had its origin
in a bundle of oily rags and waste
thrown in the shed adjoining the
kitchen. The flames spread rapidly
to the kitchen itself and when the
firemen arrived on the scene the
building was a mass of smoke and
flames. They had their equipment
out in short order and checked the
blaze before it spread to other por.
tions of the house.
The damage is estimated at ap.
proximately $500. The loss is en-.
tirely covered by insurance.

CHIHUAHUA CITY
IS RAYACED By
VILLA ATTACK
Government Soldiers Detailed to
Bring Order Out of Chaos in
State Capital.
EIGHTY PRISONERS
PUT TO DEATH
Bandits Crept Up on Town at
Early Dawn; Made Four
Separate Attacks.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, SPIT. 49,
Forces of government soldiers have
been detailed to bring order out Of
chaos created by Villas attack upon
the state capitol. Several hundred
bodies of both men and animals, have
been removed from the streets and
buried outside the city. Buildings
which suffered from gun fire and men
aced the safety Of pedestrians are be-
ing dynamited.
Tracks which had been torn up are
being repaired and scores Of workmen
are being engaged in restoring tele-
graphic communication.
Palaces Suffer.
Eighty prisoners taken in the ep"
gagement have been executed. The
Federal and Municipal palaces suffer,
ed most heavily in the engagement.
The bandits rOdei their horses in
side the palaces and tore from their
hangings costly tapestries, paintings
and mirrors. Bodies Of men and ami
mails lay about on blood soaked car
pets.
Make Four Attacks.
Four separate attacks were made
on the town after the residents had
retired for the night. In a drizzling
rain, just before dawn, the outlaws
crept from their hiding places and
overpOWered the Carranza guards,
General TreZinO quickly rallied his
troops and concentrated the infantry
and cavalry about the palace while
the artillery took station on the hil!
overlooking, the city. One force at
tempted to seize the recently arrived
artillery and another made for the
palace, apparently in an attempt to-
seize ammunition believed to have
been stored there. Another column
attacked the school house.
Prisoners taken in ,he engagements
said they were led by Villa, Martin
Topez, Urbe Tarango, Murga and
Padilla and that all but Villa parti-
cipated actively in the fighting. The
bandit leader, on a hill three miles
to the northward, was seen through
field glasses by officers.
Government cavalry are pursuing
the fleeing bandits to the northwest
into the Santa Clara Canyon but thus
far no reports have been received here
from them.
