In Affidavit Hints at Union
Wrecking Conspiracy on
Part of Roads
(By the Associated Press)

Wy VIC <1SSOSl0tSO IcSoJ
Chicago, Sept. 20.-With counter
charges of a union wrecking con-
spiracy Of railway executives inject
ed into the proceedings by the de-
tense, hearing on the governments
rail strike injunction continued be-
fore Judge James Wilkerson today
with only two days remaining to
finish testimony and complete ar
guments before the temporary re-
straining order expires tomorrow
night.
The charge Of a conspiracy to
destroy the railroad unions was
made in an affidavit by B. NJ. Jewell,
head Of the shop organizations, in
answer to charges by Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty that the rail strike
was conspiracy against interstate
commerce.
~ The Jewell affidavit was read by
his attorney, Donald r. Richberg,
who today continued the defense at
tack on the Daugherty injunction
bill. Mr.. Richberg indicated that he
would consume the entire day with
his counter charges and argument.
In his affidavit Mr.. Jewell laid
the blame for the strike at the door
of the association of railway execu-
tives. Twenty-Five rail heads linked
together in the operation of 80 class
one roads with a trackage of 2l1,28o
miles or 81 percent of the eountry's
entire mileage, we're specifically
mentioned as responsible for condl-
tions leading to the strike.

PROF. TlERNAN SEEKS TO ESTABLISH
PATERNITY OF CHILD BORN TO HIS WIFE;
MOTHER HYSTERICAL UPON STAND

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 2O.-De'
bate over the ACCESSIBILITY of tes-
timony of Professor John Tiernan
regarding the marital relations OF
himself and wife, is expected to be
resumed when hearings are taken
up today in the case of Mrs. Augusta
Tiernan, wife of the professor, who
charges Harry Poulin with the pater-
nifty of her ten-months old child.
Testimony of Mrs. Tiernan, which
was corroborated by her husband,
was to the effect that the couple had
discontinued marital relations sew
eral months prior to the beginning
of the alleged affair between Mrs.
Tiernan and Poulin.
The argument between the con
tending attorneys began yesterday
when Professor Tiernan was placed
on the stand and was being ques-
toned regarding that point De-
fense counsel raised the question as
to Just how far husbands testi-
mony is admissible in case Of the
peculiar character Of the present
one, and the debate was still IN
progress when court was adjourned
for the day.

taken up for the most part with the

PLAIN RELIEF
FOR STRICKEN
(By the Associated Press)

Wy Vic ASSOCAoLCO ACoSJ
Jackson, Calf, Sept. 20.-While 4
mine rescue crew continued to bring
to the surface bodies of victims of
the Argonaut mine disaster, the
West today had turned its attention
to relieving the plight of families
and dependents of the AZ men who
died after being imprisoned by fire
far down in the gold workings.
Compensation checks and funds
realized from prize fight and theatre
benefit performances already are be-
ginning to pour in.
Superintendent w. M. Mullen of the
claims department of the California
COMPENSATION Insurance Fund, has
sent checks to ten of the stricken
families. He announced that 18 famil-
les would receive checks monthly
ranging from $50 to S83 for period
of 240 weeks.
A ringside collection at a boxing
exhibition in Vernon, Calf, last
night netted 5000. Word was received
that President Mccarthy of the Pa
cific Coast baseball league, was con-
sidering an all-star baseball contest
for the benefit of the Jackson women
and children. Benefit shows are to
be staged in several California
cities, including Los Angeles and
San Francisco.
Thirty-eight bodies still remained
early today on the 4,35O foot level
of the Argonaut. Identification is
possible only by means of scars,
teeth and other personal character
istics. Rescue officials expressed the
hope that all bodies would be out to-
morrow.

plete with sensational incidents. At
one point, when counsel for the de-
fensc hinted at the possibility of
Mrs. Ticrnan's second child having
father other than the professor,
the plaintiff arose from the chair, and
with tears streaming down her face,
shrieked in voice that could be
heard in all parts 81 the court room !:
"Don't try to say anything like
that. It is not true"
Defense attorneys Immediately
changed the line of questioning.
Three times during the period in
which Mrs. Tiernan was being sub
jected to a merciless cross-question-
ing, the witness collapsed. But on
being revived was able to continue.
Throughout the trying ordeal, she
stood firm and refused to change a
single instance of her story of the
affair with Poulin.
Although no announcement had
been made, it is expected that Mrs.
Mae Poulin, wife Of the defendant,
would be placed on the stand today
Mrs. Poulin waa. subpocnaed by
Prosecutor, Floyd Jellison, and is
regarded as valuable though some
what reluctant witness. She has
maintained throughout a staunch be-
lief in her husbands innocence.

RAILROADS IN
A NEW ATTACK
ON EXCISE TAX
Hold That Basis Used by
State for Assessing Them
Is Illegal Method
MAKES THIRD FIGHT
Railroads Victorious in Two
Previous Suits to Prevent
Enforcement of Law

Railroads operating in North Da-
kota have again begun an attack up
on the excise, or capital stock, tax,
filing suit in the federal district
court at Fargo in the name of the
railroads and James C. Davis, direc-
tor-general of railroads, seeking a
permanent restraining order from
the court to prevent the collection of
the tax under the law enacted by
the legislature in 1919.
The railroads have twice taken
the case through the courts and
have been victorious, the state tax
commissioner devis'ing a different
method Of arriving at value Of the
Of the roads in North Da-
kota after the first adverse decision
in the United States supreme court.
The first assessment was based up
on a valuation of the North Dakota
property upon the ratio which the
mileage within the state bears to
the total mileage of the roads. The
railroads held this apportionment
was incorrect on the ground that
the, railroad mileage was not an ac-
curate index of the amount of in
vestment within the state, the in
vestment per mile differing in var
ious states. The second assessment
was on an apportionment of tho
roads North Dakota property on a
basis of the ratio which the proper
ty Of the corporation within the
state bore to the entire property en-
ployed in the roads business. The
railroads also successfully attacked
this basis. The railroads held the
statutes prescribed the mileage
basis of apportionment and that the
legislature exceeded it's power in
prescribing an arbitrary method Of
apportionment, which did not &C.
curately reflect the true apportion-
ment. The second method could not.
be adopted by the tax commissioner
because of the legislative provision,
they held.
The tax commissioner. in the
third attempt to assess the proper
ty, uses as a basis of apportionment
the ratio which the business of the
several railroad companies within
the state bears to their total busi-
ness within and without the stae. 1t
is this method of apportionment
which the railroads now are attack
ing. .,r

PROVO, Utah; Sept. 20.-One Sun
day morning, in July, 1872, a 10
year-old boy named George Suther-
land, Joined his smaller brothers in
a trip to the "old swimmin' hole,"
in Spring Creek, a mile from the
Sutherland home in Springville, a
little town near here.
The boys had been cleaned up for
Sunday school. But they took a
plunge instead
On their return home, later, they
met q younger sister, Fannie. And
it was then that George Sutherland
won his case.
Sister Fannie acted as judge, jury
and prosecuting witness, and after
listening to the touching plea put up
by George for himself and his
brothers, she returned verdict sti-
pulating that Mother Sutherland was
never to hear of the swimming af-
fair.
, This same George Sutherland has
recently been appointed associate
justice of the United States Supreme
Court, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of John N. Clarke,
effective Sept. 18.
All Proud of George
All of the participants of this
little episode, except George, live in

Want to Move
Sitting Bulls Body
From Fort Yates

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 20.-Intimate
glimpses into the life of Sitting Bull
are being brought to light through
an exchange of communications on
the questions of removing the re-
mains of the famous Indian from
the military cemetery at Fort Yates,
N. D., to some point on the Grande
river
Fears have been expressed by rela-
tives of persons killed on the occa-
sion of Sitting BSll's death, as we'll
as some Indians among the famous
Sioux Chiefs fuedal enemies, that
Sitting Bull is being elevated to
heights Of too great prominence in
American memories, according to
Charles H. Burke, commissioner of
Indian affaiA;.
On the other hand, Mr.. Doane
Robinson, state historian of South
Dakota, said Sitting Bulls Indian
enemies hated him because he, low
caste Indian, had elevated himself
to prominence which his higher
caste neighbors could not attain.
