MARSHAL SAFE STICKS
DEPUTIES AWAIT PAY

Holiday Wage Checks.
Page Jimmy Valentine.

The services of the celebrated
craftsman would have been gladly
welcomed this morning by United
States Marshal Splain when the bolts
of the large iron safe in his office in
the renovated courthouse failed to re-
spond after the combination had been
worked and the handle to the pom
derous door turned.
All efforts to open the safe failed
and thirty-five anxious deputies saw
their plans for a triple holiday ex-
pense fund so a-giimmering. The DIS
bursting officer had prepared all the
pay checks for the deputies and clerks
yesterday and had locked them all
too safely in the large Office safe.
Marshal Spiain called in a safe ex-
pert, but he declared that the bolts
had probably been broken and that
the opening of the safe would con-
sumo at least half a day. Although
the office force usually quits at noon
on Saturdays. the majority of them
will probably wait around this after
noon to see the results of the expert S
labors in the efforts to open the safe.

RAILROAD STRIKE
/ PRACTICALLY ENDS
Vote at Los Angeles by
Steam Road Employees Was
Completed Last Night.
SOME STILL STAY OUT

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 30.-Prac-
tically all striking steam road en-
gineers. conductors, brakemen and
switchmen reported back to work
this morning, following a vote to
discontinue their strikes here. which
was completed last night.
The men agreed to return at meet
ings held last night. the engineers
conductors and firemen agreeing first
to follow any action taken by the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
which includes the yardmen and
brakemen. and the latter group, in a
stormy session. later voted to resume
work this morning.
Some Voted Not to Return.
A portion of those attending the
meeting voted not to return to work
and held further meeting. A. f.
Whitney, international vice presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, who addressed the meet
ing. declared. however. the proportion
of union men failing to return would
be "neglig ible."
The vote of the meeting also oper-
ated to call back to work members
of the big four" railway brother
hoods on strike at San Bernardino and
Bakersfield, who had agreed to fol-
low whatever action the men took
here.
More Serious at Barstow.
Striking railroad employees al Fres-
no and San Francisco returned to
work Yesterday. Admittedly the stu
alton at BarstoW was serious: men
there at last reports having refused
to obey the orders of the interna-
tienaI officers to work.
However, the railroad administra-
tion officials counted on moving trains
through that point. Trains delayed as
far east as Albuquerque, N. NJ. were
moving westward this morning and
the general feeling of railroad men
here was that any men who remained
out would be too few in number to
affect conditions materially.

Recently there has been attached to
the ministry of public works an OFF,
cial bureau the job of which will be
to show American tourists the battle
fields on the western front and other

The undertaking is a large one, as
it has to provide transportation and

The plan was explained to me by the

There is now before the chamber

This money will be used chiefly for

10000 Assembled in His
Country, Lithuanian Railway
Official Says in Paris.
PRETEND THEY INTEND
TO AID KOLCHAK FORCES
Talk of Coming Understanding
Among Germany, Russia and
Japan, M. Steibiko States.

PARIS. Thursday. August 2S 1by the
Associated Press).-A modernly equip
ped German army Of 10000 men has
assembled in Lithuania and is pre-
pairing to march into Russia under
the pretense of endeavoring to reach
and help Admiral Kolchak, according
to Lithuanian sources here
Word to this effect was brought to
Paris by Chief Engineer Steibiko of
the Lithuanian railway system. who
declared the Germans talked freely
of coming understanding among
Germany. Russia and Japan.
Call Themselves "Kolchakis."
In describing the situation to the
correspondents NJ. Steibiko said that
the large German forces which had
reoccupied Lithuanian territory, from
which they have been several times
ordered away by both the Lithuanian
government and Marshal Foch. were
intrenching themselves and preparing
for march through Russia They
call themselves "kolchakis" and pre-
tend that their immediate object is
to reach and cooperate with the ad-
miraIS forces.
The Germans have partly evacuated
the region. but since August l. accord
ing to NJ. Steibiko they have been con-
centrating troops anew in western
Lithuania. with their base at Shawl.
where they also have established a
general staff. Their line of occupa-
tion from north to south is Nilko-
vishki to the mouth of the Dubissa
river: thence to Radvilshkis and on to
Janishkis.
They are under the ostensible lead
ership of the Russian general. Berg
man. but their real commander. NJ.
Steibiko declares, is the German gen.
eral. Won der Goltz. They control the
railway lines in all the occupied ter
ritory. They number $1,000 Germans
and 5000 Russians. all wearing Ger
man uniforms.
Pose as Volunteers.
The Germans serving in this armx
call themselves volunteers, according
to the engineer. and claim allegiance
to the all-Russian government. thus
pretending to be exempt from orders
issued by Marshal Foch or the inter-
allied council. Numerous Russian
prisoners. he declared, were being sent
from Germany to join the army at
Shawl. while in the way of equipment
for the army the Germans had brought
$50 airplanes, 100 automobiles and
one armored train into the territory.
Although the Lithuanian govern
ment at Kovno had sent many notes
to the Germans demanding their with
drawal and the allied officials had or
dered them out. they had paid NO at ;
tentiOn to the demand. NJ. Steibiko
