STRIKE OF STATIONARY EN-.
GiNeERs THROW MANY OUT

Ne New Developments In Situation
festerdsy-No Meetings or Con-
ferenees Have Been Called.

Practically all the mines in sub

ing 10 the strike of the stationary
engineers. The number of men out
OF employment by reason OF the strike
Is estimated from 1000 to 10 600. lust
when the difficulty will be settled can
not now be predicted. No effort has
been made by either side to effect
compromise or call a meeting look
ing toward a settlement.
John J. Sheehan. OF Bellaire. busI.
ness agent for the engineers. stated
last night that the object of the strike
was for uniform scale of wages
throughout the district. He statea
mat In few instances the engineers
were receiving wages almost equal 10
the demands. and the only ADVANTAGE,
they viii gain IL in the decrease o,
the number OF hours.
Mr. Sheehar stated that the opera.
tors paying the highest wages were
ready TO settle, as soon as IL was def.
lnitely known that uniform seal,
could be established in all parts of
the district.
On the other hand. II is stated that
the coal operators had not considered
the demands OF the engineers very
seriously a. yet. and IL there is no
change In the next few DAYS they de-
clare that other men will be secur,o
10 take the places OF the strikers
Mr.. Sheehan stated that the opers.
tors were presented with a uniform
scale OF 40 cents for engineers and
SEE cents for firemen for an eight
hour day. The strike so far has been
conducted quietly and il is believed
no trouble will occur.

Tragedy Nears Climax.

Berlin, Oct. 17.-(Via wireless to Say.
vile, l.. I.)-"The tragedy on the SOM
me seems near a climax said semi
official statement reporting frightful
French and English losses in recent un-
successful attempts to break the Ger
man lines north of the river.
When the British rushed forward for
an attack near Guedecourt, the Sixth
German infantry division left their
destroyed positions and, standing in the
face of the approaching enemy, turned
loose rifle and machine gun fire into
dense masses of advancing enemy
troops. These crowded columns were in
some places literally moved down.
"Detailed reports show that the at
tacks between October 8 and 13 are to
be counted among the largest fighting
actions of the whole Somme battle, -
wrote the military critic of the semi
official news agency. "The objects of
these huge French and English efforts
were Bapaume and Peronne.'

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
CANNOT BUILD NOW
President Sproule Tells KIa-
math Falls Folks to Wait
Two or Three Years

San Francisco, Oct. 17-Klamath
Falls and the klamath country offer u
splendid field for railroad development
but extension at this time is impossible,
owing TO continued unsatisfactory earn
ings throughout the entire system, ac-
cording to William Sproule, president
of the Southern Pacific today. Sproule,
with Herbert Fleishhacker, financier,
has Just returned from visit to the
klamath region, at the request of Kla-
math people, who are anxious to secure
railway extensions.
81 regretfully told the klamath peo-
pie that our company is unable to do
any new construction work at the pres
ent time, and coulu only say what has
been necessary for railroads all over
to say of late-that their desire to have
us extend is no greater than our desire
to open their territory said Sproule.
Immediately preceding the San
Francisco Exposition, there were a NUM-
ber of years of exceedingly low earn
ings for railroads. The exposition OPEN
ing and temporary closing of the Pana-
ma canal furnished our first ray OF sun
light. If present conditions exist few
years more, there will be vast new con-
struction on lines like those in klamath
already SURVEYED. -

TEUT0N !)RCES ATTACK
ON sixty MILE FRONT
Van Hndenburgs Offensive Along Eastern Front Has Begun
and Heavy Assaults On Russian Lines North Of Carpath
ians Is Beginning Of Attempt to Drive Wedge Between
Russian and Rumanian Armies ALLIES Make Gains
Along Somme Front

London, Oct. 17.-Von Hindenburg's widely heralded
eastern front offensive apparently is under way.
Teutonic forces attacking fercey on sixty mile
time they have have opened heavy assaults against
the Russian lines north of the Carpathians An official
statement from the Rumanian Office this afternoon
admits Ausro German successes in this new Of
fensve The Teutons have pushed down the Trotus val
ley to the town of Agas where they engaged in bat
tie with the Rumanans Berlin dispatches yesterday re-
ported that the Germans had broken through Gymes
Pass leading into the Trotus valley, and driving
eastward toward the main railway supplying the north
ern Rumanan armies
The Russian war office, however, announced the re-
pulse Of all Teutonic attacks Dorna Vatra 1t is
this region that Won Hindenburg delivering his hardest
blows apparently planning to drive wedge between the
Russian and Rumanian armies. The Austro-Gernan at
acks north of the Capathans apparently to prevent
the shifting of Russian troops southwark to meet the
attack.
In the Dobrdja, fighting has been resumed between
the Russo Rumanan and the German-Bulgarian armies
all along the front.
French forces have extended their gains in the
last twenty yfour hours of ghtinS the Somme 'front.'
according to official statements from the French and
British Offices The French announced the capture
of another group of houses at the cross roads village of
SaiySaillise, where sharp fighting has been going
for two days The British pushed out north of Ancre
brook last night for the first time since the opening day
of the Sonme offensive and penetrated German trenches
On the Macedonian 'front.' the situation generally is
unchanged The Bulgars counter attacked violently

Allies Are Renulsed.

Berlin, Oct l7-Repulse of British at.
tacks near Geudecourt and French at.
tacks near Sailley and Fresnes were re-
ported by the war office this afternoon.
South of the Somme the fighting is con-
tinuing.
All along the eastern Transylvanian
frontier northward to Dorna Vatra, bat.
ties are proceeding. The Rumanians are
resisting at the roads lead.
ing through the mountain passes. South
of Dorna Vatra, the Teutons have cap
tured heights east of the river Neagra.
On the Russian front the Slavs con-
tinue their violent storming attacks on
several sectors. West of the fortress of
Lutzk, and on the Narajowka, they ad-
vanced in dense masses but we're thrown
back with unusually heavy losses. Be-
tween Siniavka and Zubilno and south
west of Zaturcy, the Russians vainly
stormed Austro-German positions 10
times. Three attacks near Pastomyty
on the Dubnow sector also failed. The
Teutons took 1896 prisoners and 10
machine guns.

HUGHES FORGETS
T CONSUMERS SIDE
OF TARIFF LAWS
Emphasizes Fact That They
Paid $lO7.OOO,OOO Less
Under Present Laws
IMPORTED $3S4,OOO,OOO
MORE DURING The TIME
His Figures Show Interests
Of Consumer Are Hurt Not
Helped by Tariff
BY Perry Arnold.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Mitchell, S. d., Oct 17.-Speaking
before farmer audience of 1000, Nom
inee Hughes today analysed in terms of
sharp criticism Of the democratic
platform pledge as to the tariff and
solemnly warned his auditors that the
present plan of great appropriations and
decreasing of the revenue through i'm
port duties ''couldn't go on indefinite
ly as though there was an inexhaustible
supply of money"
Hughes produced figures showing that
in 1913 under the Payne bill, the total
of imports was $l,Sl3, 100000 against
$2, ,197 100000 in 1916 under the Under
wood bill. Notwithstanding this vast
increase he declared the actual revenue
to the government in duties on these
imports was only 02l2,000000 in 1916,
as against 1919, 100000 under the repub-
lican protective policy.
AS against these ligures Hughes read
the democratic platform endorsement
of the Underwood bill and the demo-
cratic assertion that it stood for tariff
sufficient to provide for o government
economically administered. He de-
nounced the administration FOR wasteful
extravaganza in government.
"The mere existence of resources and
the mere existence of men capable of
handling and developing these resources
are not sufficient to insure prosperity"
he declared "We must have adequate
government policies for maintaining tho
advantages of our markets. We must
have protection of American agricul-
tural industries, otherwise our plans for
departmental regulation will be mere
barren forms"
The audience in this city of about
5000 was mostly of farmers, many of
whom had Travelled long distances since
daylight to hear Hughes expound his
principles. The day was cold and
Hughes shivered frequently in his
breezy ride to the hail.

London, Oct. 17.-Aiming to drive a
wedge between the Russian and Ruman.
ian armies, the Austro-G Germans have
launched great new offensive near
the northwestern frontier of Rumania.
Strong Teutonie~ forces, according to
Petrograd dispatches, are attacking the
Russian front south of Bukowina, near
the point where the Russians and Ru-
manians have joined hands. The Aus
trian and German war offices announce
that the Russians have been driven back
at this point. Berlin dispatches re.
ported that the Rumanians are falling
b1ek across their own frontier.
Eveay indication points to the begin

aided campaign to crush Rumania. The
Teutonic attacks have suddenly become
more violent south oil Kronstadt, where
General Falkenhayn is trying to break
through the Predeal Pass. Southwest
of Kronstadt the Austro Germans are
attacking in large force and heavy
fighting is going on on Rumanian soil.

Out In the Bay

Blaine, Wash, Oct. 17.-Ncighbors
of Sanford. Chinn, aged fisherman who
shot himself through the head here
yesterday, and died, are watching the
beach today in hope that the waves
will wash up the body of his house
keeper, Mrs. Emma Pinkerton and
clear up what they feel certain is a
murder mystery.
A net of evidence has already been
discovered indicating that Chinn had
taken the woman's life, placed the
body in a trunk, and sunk it far out
in the bay and then committed suicide.
Chnn was seen to row out into the
bay with a trunk in his boat early last
Wednesday morning and return with

proved to be the woman S clothing.
Monday he set fire to his house, fired
three shots at neiahbor S window and
then killed himself.
