BYL.W.W


KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, July
17.-Farmers are arming them
selves and the force of deputy
sheriffs is being greatly increased
here today to stem the l. W. w.
uprising.
Additional reports were receiv-
ed today of cattle poisoning, for
which the l. w. w. are believed
responsible.
j. Frank Adams, wealthy
klamath county rancher, found
200 cattle and 20 horses dead on
his place alone. Other farmers in
the district south of here report
losses from poisoning.
A number of fires of plainly in
cendiary origin have been discov-
cred in klamath Falls and on sur
rounding farms.
Gov. Withycombe, 1t became
known here today, is preparing to
take hand in the situation. The
battalion of Oregon minute men
now being organized, will prob
ably be rushed to klamath Falls
as soon as possible.

the place of the street car today

Nearly all business houses and

reported they are suffering little

of the strike, that all their en-

REQUEST
TIDEFLAT
SERVICE

Asking the city to make every
possible effort to start Tacoma
street cars again, q committee Of
five workers from the tideflats,
representing 1900 patrons of the
municipal tideflats car line, ap-
peared before the council Tues
day morning.
The workmen declared that
they we're suffering from lack of
cars, that many of their numbers
were unable to get to work be-
cause of the street car tieup, and
that the entire tideflats district
was being handicapped and him
dered thru the failure of a re-
sumption of car service.
One of the committee asked
that the city take over the street
car service and operate cars, with
union operators.
Those who appeared before the
council we're Len Hogan, railroad
carman; John Cline, blacksmith;
Reuben Green, machinist; Joe
Blass, contracting machinist, and
F. A. Lucas, boilermaker.
1T won't do the tideflats a bit
of good il unfair operators are
put on the street cars, because
we couldn't ride with them while
a strike was on" Green told the
council.
what we want is street car
service. And we want compe-.
tent men to operate the cars. We
believe that the men who are on
strike are the only competent
men in the city to handle the
cars, and It is up to the city
council to use whatever pressure
it can to force the T. r. & p. Co.
to resume service.
I'VE are strong for safety first,
and that means that competent
men must run the cars. If this
little committee can't get any
action, we can come with several
hundred men,"
Members of the council assert
ed that they were helpless to
either take over operation of the
cars or to force Manager Bean
to resume service. They prom

Mayor Fawcett told the COM
mittee that he would not ask any
union men to ride on a street car

AUTO PATROL
HAULS COPS

Tacoma's police patrol is doing
street car service. in taking po-
licemen to and from their work.
Ever since the strike began,
the patrol has been making regu-
lar trips to South Tacoma, Point
Defiance and Fern Hill, bringing
officers from their homes to the
central station, and returning
them to their homes after they
have completed their shift.
All policemen have been put on
12-hour shifts. Police Chief
Smith announced Tuesday that he
would ask the T. r. & p. Co. to
ay for the additional four hours
OF each officer.

ParneIls Superstitions.

Several stories illustrating the super
stitious nature of Parnell are told In
a memoir which his brother has writ
ten. His horror of the color green has
been touched on by many writer's. He
would not wear a coat or tie with any
tlnge of green I'm it, and he objected
to anything like green wall paper. So
strong was his aversion to the color
that one day when lady whom he
knew very we'll came to see him in
the house of commons he refused to
shake hands with her because she was
wearing green dress and hurried
away from her as quickly as possible.
He also had a horror of the nul lber

INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Hold by Authorities to Be Part Of the
National Jurisprudence

The declaration that international
law Is at one and the same time both
national and international has far
reaching and very practical signif-
canoe for the work Of building a new
international order.
The courts Of Great Britain, begin
ming with Lord Chancellor Talbot in
1873 and including Lord Chief Justice
Mansfield in 1764, have held that the
law OF nations Is part Of the common
law Of England. Sir William Black
stone supported this doctrine in his
classic Commentaries. This doctrine
holds good as well In the United States
as In Great Britain, a fact to which
both Thomas Jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton bore convincing testimony.
In the lifetime OF the present gener-
alton the United States supreme court
has held that international law is part
OF our law and that, In order to ascer-
tain and administer 1t in cases where
there Is no treaty and no controlling
executive or legislative act or judicial
decision, resort must be had to the GUS
toms and usages Of civilized nations
