SOLDIERS KEEP - ...ti'
BACK MILL PICKETS


ABERDEEN, WASH, Sept. IL
Federal troops this noon took charge
of the I. w. w. mill strike picket
situation here and kept pickets away
from the Wilson plant, where the on
ly attempt at picketing was made.
Local I. w. w. headquarters immedi-
ately sent out call to Seattle to rush
men here, and they are expected to-
night. No disorder so far has result
ed. Soldiers held pickets two blocks
away from the mill and finally order
ed the crowd to move on. The orders
were promptly obeyed and there was
no loud talking or attempt at resis-
tancs.
Two other mills and three ship
yards are working but have not been
molested by pickets. The picketing at
the Wilson plant reached such a
height last night, where a mob of sew
eral hundred hooted and jeered the
workers, that Mayor r. C. Sargent
today asked soldiers, stationed here
since the strike began, to take charge
of the situation.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Two men

turning from bank n an automobile.
AS they stepped in front of the en-
trance to theironworks a car contain
ing the robbers drew up.
Three of the bandits leaped from
the machine and opened fire with re-
volvers. Ozenberg and Allen fell with
bullets in their heads. The bandits
fired more than twenty shots. A score
of pedestrians witnessed the killing.
Two of the bandits remained in the
machine, the motor of which was kept

A Comet Scare.

Joseph Jerome Lafrancais de La
iande. the popular French astronomer
of the eighteenth century, differed
from Newton's view that Providence
had so arranged matters as to make
collision Of the earth with comet i'm
possible and wrote a paper to prove
that it was only very improbable. This
paper, which was to have been read
with others before the French academy
on a certain day in 1878, got crowded
out. but the Partisan public. hearing OF
1t. made up it's mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction of
the earth. and such panic ensued that
the police had to order the publication
Of the paper to reassure the public
mind. But even then it was popularly
believed that the payer had been DELHI
erately toned down. and comet panics
ensued for a quarter OF century,

JAPANESE FORCES ARE
CONCENTRATED MANCHURIA

ZURICH, Switzerland, Sept. IL
Reports that strong Japanese forces
have been concentrated in Manchuria
are given currency in Bavaria by the
Neusete Nachristen, of Munich, which
also speculates on the possibility of
transporting such troops to the Rus
sian front. If the railway facilities
were the same as before the war, it
says, such an operation would re-
quire a long time, but the situation
has been changed greatly, Japan hav-
ing laid new tracks and made great
improvements in the rolling stock.

Although the chance Of anybody being
