BURNING STEAMER is SUNK
The City of Honolulu Now Lies at
Bottom of Pacific.

San Francisco, Oct. 1S-The last
chapter in the sea fire which burned
the liner City of Honolulu was written
today The great vessel, former pride
of the German transatlantic service,
lies today at the bottom of the Pa
cific. She was destroyed last night
by the coast guard cutter Shawnee
on instructions from the United States
shipping board. A rain of two
FOUNDER shells was poured broadside
on the rolling hulk until she sank.
Private wrecking tugs on the scene
were of the opinion the hulk could be
towed to San Francisco for salvage.
but the fact the hulk had drifted into
the regular steamer course. made her
a menace to navigation and caused
the order for destruction.
The City of Honolulu's grave was
more than 500 miles southwest of San
Francisco. Not a person was injured
when she caught fire and was aban-
doned. The ships colors were flying
when she went down.

STRIKE BROKEN AT SAuNA
Men Out on Union Pacific Ordered
Back to Work

Salina. Kan, Oct. 1s.-The strike of
the railroad shop craft on the Union
Pacific in this city has been broken
and the 125 men who left their work
July 1 have been instructed to return
by w. d. Vincent, chairman of the
strikers.
Mr.. Vincent says about so per cent
of the men are returning to their jobs.
Some of them have done no work
since July /. Others have been doing
odd jobs about town, while probably
40 per cent of the men have secured
other work and will not return to the
railroad, at present, at least. The
railroad employed strike breakers
from the first, and it is said the COM
petent men who have been with the
road will be kept in preference to let
ting them go to make room for the
strikers. The strikers go back as new
employees. A new union has been or
ganized here and most of the strike

STATE WILL ACT!
Ready to Enter Strike Situation
at Arkansas City.
Judge McDermOtt in Ultimatum
to Mayor Mcintosh.
MUST PROTECT RAIL WORKERS
Threat to Transfer Police
Power to Commissioners.
Workers, Instead of Strikers,
Arrested, Is Charge.
MUST PROTECT RAIL WORKERS

Arkansas City, Kan, Oct. 1S.-
Judge James A. McDermott, of the
industrial court body and representa-
tive of Governor Allen, informed
Mayor Mcintosh here yesterday, un-
less he demonstrated more ability to
handle the strike situation peacefully
and protect men working at the shops,
from violence the police powers would
be transferred to Commissioners
Sturtz and Thompson"
Martial law was not intimated by
Judge McDerlnott, who declared it
was unnecessary" Neither did he
tell the mayor that custer proceedings
would be brought against him, except
by innuendo if police powers were
taken from him.
Five state representatives have
called on the mayor here without re-
suits" said McDermott. Such con-
ditions cannot be continued and my
reports from the mayor of Arkansas
City show that in all cases the en-
ployes at the shops have been ar
rested and prosecuted when attacked
and that none of the men who COM
mitted the violence have been appre-
hended."
The two commissioners stood by
Judge McDermott, but the mayor was
antagonistic to the suggestion of TAX
ward an custer suit. He said:
Political Scheme, He says.
LET them go to it and crack down.
I know who is at the bottom of this
talk, and it is a political scheme,
which was Matched soon after my
election. I will be in the proceedings
at the start and at the finish. and If
I should be ousted you will not hear
me crying about it,
The mayor was formerly an engi-
neer on the Santa Fe.

with assault on Fred Armstrong, a
new employe at the shops. Bonds
were arranged by all of them.

Kansas Bankers Ask Immediate
Relief From Car Shortage.
Unless Situation Is Relieved.
Serious Trouble viii Result.

New appeals from Kansas bankers
for immediate relief from the grain
car shortage flooded the state house
today. In spite of reports from the
public utilities commission to the eff
feet that relief is being provided many
bankers and shippers advised Cover
nor Allen and Frank II. Foster, state
bank commissioners, that serious
problems are being confronted.
Many of the recent bank failures
ana declared to have been due to in
ability Of farmers to market their
grain. Now the trouble is becoming
even more acute. Unless prompt ac-
ton Is taken to- aid in movement of
grain and livestock additional finan-
cial troubles are being faced, the tele-
grams stated.
Face Financial Troubles.
Dan F. Callahan. prominent Wich-
ita banker and oil man, today. sent
telegram to Governor Allen stating
that further financial troubles faced
kingman county banks unless grain is
moved at once. Callahan formerly
lived in Kingman and was for a num-
ber of years engaged in the banking
business there. He is now interested
in big string of banks in southwest
ern Kansas.
Two banks in the county have
closed and it is almost impossible for
others to remain open unless we can
get wheat cars Callahan wired the
governor. The wire was received in
the state house this morning. Cover
nor Allen, who is in Wichita today,
will probably confer with Callahan
and other bankers regarding the grain
car situation.
Fifty cars of wheat are declared to
be stored in elevators in three King
man towns and are awaiting shipment.
M Grain Mnvad in Month
The public utilities commission has
already received a number of tele-
grams regarding the need of trans
communities. Word from Larned to-
day was to the effect that no grain
had been moved there in a month.
Wheat is being piled on the ground
and held for shipment. according to
reports from the towns of Acres,
Pawnee Rock, Burdett and Nickerson.
At Nickerson, a telegram stated, no
grain cars had been set out since
September II.
Bankers at Pawnee Rock declared
that unless grain cars are received
soon they will be forced to close.
Hodgeman county sent an urgent re-
quest for cattle and grain cars.
Two kingman county banks have
closed recently. In both cases, it is
reported. trouble is due to inability
to realize on farm paper. The farmers,
it is declared. cannot pay thru in
ability to market their grain. Cor
! respondent banks have refused to
loan small town institutions more
money Many of the small banks have
exceeded legal authority in the mat
ter of rediscounts, but are being
'fnursed'' in an effort to provide an
/ opportunity for them to clean up
slow paper.

Believe Turks Are Near.
(By the Associated Press.)
Rodosto, Thrace, Oct. 18.-This
town has become a jumping off place
in the Greek evacuation of Eastern
'Thrace. Twenty eight thousand panic
stricken refugees are gathered here,
all dominated by the same fear of the
Turk that swayed the refugee crowds
in Smyrna three weeks ago.
Everybody believed the Turks are
almost at the door and nothing can
reassure them. The general belief is
that the Kemalists will arrive stimuli
occupation and every refugee hopes to
put a long stretch of water between
himself and Rodosto before that event.
The town and its extra population
have abandoned all pretense of per-
forming normal duties and have gath
cred along the gravel beaches waiting
nervously for the ships which do not
come.
Thousands in Flight.
Constantinopie, Oct. 1S.-Thousands
of Armenian Christians in Thrace,
today are in wild flight towards the
Bulgarian frontier, fearing massacre
at the hands of the Turkish military
police that are crossing into Europe
from the Asiatic mainland under allied
supervision.
They are homeless and without ade-
quate clothing. They have no food ex-
cept what comes from charity. They
have no money.
Many are living without shelter
from the driving rain storms that are
sweeping the country. Families have
been separated. Disease has broken
out.
