bills and may stay here a few days to
clear up his desk. Owing to the strike

NO MINORITY PLAN
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Republican Conference Finally
Decides to Offer No
Legislation.

Following a meeting of committee
of republican senators appointed at
conference of republican leaders to
consider and to draw up substitute
for the democratic eight-hour law,
Senator Brandegee, chairman OF the
committee, announced that 1t han been
decided not to offer a substitute. In

would be impossible to draft any leg
islation Of the kind desired in few
hours.
The members Of the committee were:
Senators Brandegee, Cummins. Weeks.

Two-Hour Conference.
The republican conference lasted nearly
two hours. The general impression was
that there would be no concerted oppo-
sition to the passage of such legislation
as the President and democratic majority
desires. There probably will be speeches
in which senators will give their views
of the question and of the negotiations
which have been going on in Washing
ton for two weeks.
Many prominent republican senators
were evidently angry. convinced that
tho democrats intend to put through the
eight-hour day bill at once. caring little
whether legislation which would help
the railroads pay the added cost or pro-
viding for a commission to take care Of
future disputes is put on the statute
books at this session. There were no
open charges Of bad faith, but senators
expressed this opinion to friends.
The belief OF the republican senators
is that. II the democrats put through
the eight-hour law only. by tomorrow
night. and the strike is called on, then

Democrats Want to Leave.
Nothing could keep the democrats

been called of and the revenue bill is

republican conference. THE President
knows this just as well as we do He
knows. too. that the House leaders have
informed him that the House will not
pass anything but the proposed eight

so far as I am concerned" one of
them said. Il do not intend to- oppose
the passage of the Adamson bill That's
all the democrats propose to put
through. Let them do it and the re-
sponsibility win be theirs and not
ours. -.H

LONDON, September I, 2:15
p.m.-King Constantine of Greece
Las abdicated, according to the
British official press representa-
tive at Saloniki. He says the abb
dication was in favor of the crown
prince, with Venizelos as the
power behind the throne. The
new policy, he reports, will be to
work with the entente allies.
The beginning of a revolution
in Macedonia is reported in i
Reuter- dispatch filed yesterday at
Saloniki. Fighting occurred in
Saloniki, the correspondent adds,
but serious trouble was prevented
by the intervention of soldiers of
the entente allies.
The surrender of several Greek
garrisons to a revolutionary COM
mittee, which has taken over the
administration of part of Greek
Macedonia, also is reported, the
chief OF these being Saloniki,
Nodena and Fort Little Kara
burun.
Crown Prince of Liberal Mind.
Crown Prince George of Greece, whose
accession to the throne is reported. has
been described as man Of liberal mind,
in true sympathy with the aspirations of
the Greek people. 1t has been assumed
that if King Constantine's policy of nom
interference in the war should lead to his
disappearance from power the crown
prince would be the man 10 whom the pro-
entente party would turn.
Prince George was born July 19, 1890.
He is unmarried. His engagement to
Princess Elizabeth of Rumania was an
nounced in 1914, but owing to the war the
wedding was postponed.
The crown prince has kept in the back
ground during the-war. When the en-
tente troops landed at Saloniki last year
the king sent the crown prince to take
charge Of the Greek forces there 1t was
reported several months ago that the
prince had been sent on mission to the
German and Austrian emperors.

Public Support Claimed.

I'm view of the expressions of the
press. of commercial organizations and
of many thousands of individuals
throughout the United States. the rail-
ways are confirmed in the belief that
the public wanted them to stand firm,
and they believe they would violate
their duty to all concerned by adopting
any other course.
TT is the policy of the railways II
the strike occurs to give the public
all information concerning the situa-
ton which viii not embarrass them in

1T is clearly to the interest of the
public that If a strike comes the rail-
ways shall be able to maintain a con-
siderable part of their service from
the start, and that they shall be able
steadily and rapidly to increase it.
How much service they will be able
to maintain, and how rapidly they will
be able to increase it will necessarily
depend upon the protection given their
employees and property by the police
authorities. especially by those of the
various, municipalities. It Is to be as
sumed. therefore, that while the rail-

Plans to drag the U. s. submarine
H-3 out of the breakers where

for "a hours were rushed to com

err William b. Howe, following the

Despite the Divers perilous po-
sition, Howe declared today he
believes she can be taken off If
a storm does not blow up.
The two officers. and &c men
who we're taken off the subma-
rine just before nightfall yester-
day are all suffering from severe
lruises.
Lost i'm Fog.
Members of the crew SAID that
until they were rescued, they had
no definite idea as to the loca-
ton CT their vessel. .....
Lieut.. Bogusch believed he was
several miles south OF Humboldt
bay when he suddenly found his
craft inside the line of breakers.
A moment later she began to
scrape, the men said, and engines
went out of commission.
This left the craft helpless. For
hours, they said, she lurched and
swung about wildly at the mercy
of the waves. Several times the
coming tower was wholly sub
merged, so sharp was the angle
at which the boat reeled.
But the crew suffered no Sc
rious discomfort until water got
into the batteries and chlorine
gas was released. This forced
the commander to abandon the
interior of his ship almost entire
ly and to shut his crew off in a
tiny room under the coming
tower.

Katherine Bowel, IA, members
of prominent Seattle families,
were captured by the Tacoma po-

that they had simply tired of the
humdrum high school life in Sc
attic and had decided to see the
country. They had plenty of
funds, and spent the week here
attending movie shows and having
good time.
The parents, distracted by the
girls absence, had notified po-
lice departments of the entire
coast to be on the watch for them.

cused Prosecuting Attorney

ficials of Pacific county with
aiding in an attempt to de-
feat the governments prose-
cutiOn of the 13 alleged
North River night riders.
O'Phelan was forced to admit
he had a feeling of bitterness
against Mrs. Margaret Ross and
her two sons, whom the might
riders" are alleged to have driven
from their Pacific county home

The Pacific county prosecutor
also admitted that he had filed a
criminal charge against Alvin
Pulkkinen, one of the govern
ment's witnesses, after it became
known that he was to testify
against the might riders"
SHdTScS TTuHuc-Sp.
District Attorney Allen, in open
court, accused the prosecutor of
filing this charge for the express
purpose of discrediting the gov
eminent witness.
He further forced O'Phelan to
admit that he had issued the war
rant for Pulkkinen's arrest, al
though Pulkkinen was acting as a
stool pigeon" for his own office
when he committed the alleged Of
Tense of which the prosecutor ac-
cused him.
Blames the Mother.
The grilling of the Pacific
county official came after he had
been summoned by the defense
to produce affidavits which he
claimed the two Ross boys had
made under his direction, and by
which the defense is hoping to
impeach the boys testimony con-
corning the attacks of the might
riders"
When asked why he was bitter
against Mrs. Ross, the Pacific
county prosecutor declared that
she had denounced every official
with whom she had had dealings
adding, And she has denounced
you, too, Mr.. Allen"
Could Get No Aid.

trial, witnesses for the govern

Roudebush made the opening ar

the theory that after a fight In
which Mrs. Pierwsza was struck
on the nose by her husband and
bled profusely, he approached her

hind the stove as a shield being
shot as she peered out at him.
Pierwsza was very pale but

slription of the quarrel at supper

ing the argument for the defense.
Lawyer Kids Heinrich
The theory of the defense, as
gone over by Burmeister, has been
that Mrs. Pierwsza, who had long
been threatening to take her own
life, shot herself while standing
somewhere near the stove, and
then, blinded by the shot and try
ing to find the door, stumbled
around the stove and fell in the
position in which Pierwsza said
he found her.
Burmeister made special at
tack on the testimony of the TIL
endas, directly charging that
Charley Tilenda was trying to cur
ry favor with the prosecutor In
order to escape the consequences
of bootlegging operations which
had been exposed by Pierwsza's
testimony.
