Market Was Firm
But Intensely Dull

New York, June 27-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
1t was the expected which happened
in Wall Street when prices rallied to-
day for yesterday 5 sharp break fol-
lowing the recessions which have con-
tinued off and on for the better part
of the ninth resulted, as is ever the
case, in an oversold position and it
only required little buying to influ-
ence recovery.
When the firm improvement amounts
to more than an upward reaction in a
bear market, such as is likely to oc-
cur at any time, remains to be seen,
but Wall Street was not disposed to
treat the matter over-seriOusly. For
one thing, there was no clearing away
of Mexican uncertainties and there was
little or no expansion Of public buying.
First prices were slightly changed
this morning, but a number of issues
sold again at yesterdays low level and
declines were extended in a few in
stances. There was a marked relax
alton in selling pressure, however and
this influenced moderate short cover
ing and firmer tone.
Activity fell away materially after
the first hour but prices were very well
maintained and the early improvement
was extended in a number of instances.
This was influenced in large part by
the increased activity and strength Of

SKIBINSKY-THE RUS
SIAN vIoLINIsT

The story of Alexander Won Skibin-
sky. the young Russian viOlinist, who
will Give two concerts at Chautauqua
this year, is one which brings out the
indomitable spirit and determination Of
the young concertmeister.
Skibinsky formerly resided in Mos
cow and was helping celebrate one of
the Russian national holidays. The pre-
mature explosion of giant firecraeE'r
shattered his left hand, the hand he
used in lingering his famous Stradi-
varius violin. The first finger was
taken off entirely and two others were
almost paralyzed. But young Skibinsky
refused to take the rebuff as defeat, he
ordered a wooden finger made for the
one he lost. After years of tedious
practice, he again mastered the redi-
ments of lingering. His music seemed
greater than ever
The newspapers had spread the report
throughout Russia that Skibinsky would
never appear before the music lovers
of the empire again. When Skibinsky
did appear in concert the surprised aud
pleased hearers received him with great
ovations. Skibinslly was in greater fa-
vor than ever before.
During the war in Europe, Skibins?,y
came to America and has appeared IN
concert in over 80 eastern cities. Much
interest is being shown over his appear
ance at the Chautauqua here and a rec
ord audience is expected at the Chau-
tauqua tent when he plays in concert.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON
TO SUPPORT HUGHES
Does Not Advise Other Than
to Stand for Progressive
Policies

Sacramento, Cal, June IL In am
nouncing today that he will support
Charles E. Hughes for the presidency,
Governor Hiram johnson issued a
statement in which he declared that his
action does not mean that "we in Cali
fornia abandon progressivism.
His statement, addressed to 'the
progressives of the state of California "
follows:
AFTER the close of our national con-
vention l met with many of those who
represent the progressive thought of
the country, in the hope that the
progressive movement, affording final
ly free expression for democracy and
partrOtically devoted to our humanity,
might not perish nationally.
apparently it seems that the pro-
gressive party cannot proceed this year
as a separate national political party,
and that progressives in the ensuing
presidential election must choose be-
tween Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes.
Inasmuch as this is so, and because |
believe our sole accomplishment at
Chicago was to compel his nomination
by the republicans, and because l be
lieve his record warrants it, | make my
individual choice and shall support
Mr.. Hughes Each member of our
party, I take it, will for himself, de-
eide, basing the decision solely upon his
sense of duty and his love of country.
'"That we are confronted with this
alternative, does not mean that we, in
California, abandon progressivism. The
progressive movement is permanent.
The party name under which it may
from time to time appear, is not es-
sential. In our state, we have acted
under various names in the past, all
alike devoted to the same end. This
year, those of us supporting the re-
publican nominee may again act, if we
choose, as progressive republicans,
within the republican party; and those
who follow Mr.. Wilson, may, if they
desire, as progressive democrats, with
in the democratic party. But, how
ever we act, or under whatever name,
we will continue progressivism trium-
phant in California and preserve the
governmental achievements accom-
plished by years of progressive effort.
az have purposely deferred making
any statement until the meeting of our
national committee June 26 and until
the candidate nominated by us at Chi
cago had given his final arrive. 1t is
my hope now that we may, without de-
lay, have a statewide conference, when
we may perfect plans for future
action"

DEPUTIES GUARDING
TACOMA WATERFRONT
One Man Killed and Two
Wounded, Many Beaten
by Strikers

Tacoma, Wash, June 27.-Extra de-
tails of police and deputy sheriffs are
guarding the waterfront here today, to
prevent a possible repetition of the riot
which occurred late yesterday and ye-
suited in the fatal shooting of JOHN
Now, aged "a, union longshote'1an
and the reported wounding of two other
men, whose names are not known.
Three men employed as guards on the
Grace line steamer Santa Cruz, are un-
der arrest charged with carrying con
cealed weapons.
Yesterdays 3 riot began whan Il crowd
Of $50 striking longshoreme1 rushed
the entrance to the Sperry Flour mill
where the steamer Santa Hruz is being
loaded by non-uniOn men. On their
way through the mill, the longshoremen
severely beat up several employees, they
encountered. A number of them slip
ped aboard the steamer. Two strikers
were thrown into the bag during a
free for all fight which Immediately
followed. A crowd on shore threw
stones. Captain Hall was in the thick
of the fight and was badly cut about
the face. William Root, youth from
the Seattle offices Of the Grace com
pany, was also injured, as were eight
or 10 others on the vessel.
Probably 80 shots were exchanged in
the melee. Now was shot in the abdo-
men and may die.
Following the shooting the strikers
left the ship and the riot ended.
On his arrival here, Governor Lister
held conference with Major L. L.
Bolles and will later confer with Com
missioner Petit and Sheriff Longmire.
Governor Lister said it was not his
intention to call on the troops except
as last resort. He declined to make
public the reports made to him by Ad-
iutant General Thompson and Major
Bolles, who investigated the waterfront
situation at his request.
The governor was shown the state
ment made by Sheriff Longmire in
which the latter denied asking fm
troops.
"The only reply to that, " said Gov.
ernor Lister, "is that Sheriff Lougmire
made a specific request that 200 militia.

Canadians Call
Canned Beef Bully

Washington, June 27.-In an "Eo-
cyclopedia of Military Terms" just
published by Canadian troops serving
in France, an old staple army article,
corned beef, is given the name "bul-
ly''.
Members Of the United States ma
rine corps, who publish no encyelopo-
dia, call the same thing "canned viii
lie," and they point out that troops
all over the world have different and
expressive terms describing the timed
corned beef product.
Our marns give no reason for their
"canncd Willien version of the corn
ed beef affair, other than that they
try to be original in all things, AMI
that, in going about the world in per
fomance Of duty, they learn what the
other fellow is doing in a nicknamng
way and are thus abie to keep right
up to the minute.

Some of the show houses are mighty

was at high figure. The rent is still

Alderman Jones was the only one to
dissent in voting on the question last
night. Even he was willing to halvc
the fee if the theatres would revert to

In commenting ON this bulletin Dr.
H. L. Deimel one of the foremost flax

said that it is worthy of special note
on account of the comprehensiveness
the report and the conservatism Of the
statements throughout, stating that he
would not have believed that so much

that if this work hal been done as

ably have exceeded $25,0O0--if it could
have been done at all, but through the
medium of tho Government depart
ments the cost to the University and
Oregon was so small as to be almost
negligible.
