All Traffic on Alton
Road at Standstill

Springfield, ILL.,, July s.-(By
A. P.)-Troops under command of
John o. Smith of Champaign we're
on their way to the scene Of rail
strike rioting at Clinton within 20
minutes after an o-der was issued
by Adjutant General Black, it was
announced here by Col. Frank L.
Taylor, Of the generals staff.
Chicago, July s.-(By A. P)-
All traffic on the Chicago and Alton
in and out of Bloomington, ILL.,, has
ceased, due to the failure of local
authorities to furnish adequate pro-
lection to the few men remaining at
work in the shops there, and the
road has notified the sheriff of
Mclean county and the adjutant
general of the state. that unless pro-
lection for workers is furnished by
next Monday, the Chicago and Al
ton will undertake to reopen the
shops under its own guard. Bloom
ington is an important division point
on the Chicago-St. Louis highway.
This announcement was made by
w. G. Bierd, president of the road,
on his return from Bloomington to-
day. where he has been in conference
with authorities in an attempt to re-
store rail operations at the Illinois
city.
Strikers Seize Shops.
The strikers. he said virtually
took possession of the shops last
night, firing many shots and after
ward advancing on the roads pas
senger station, where oilers and in
spectors were driven from their
work and one foreman was badly
beaten, according to Mr.. Bicrd.
"We have the men to man these
shops" Mr.. Bierd said. But be-
cause local officials appealed to US
not to send men and promised to
secure protection, we have agreed
not to send any new men there until
the local authorities have been given
opportunity to protect them. We
have notified the authorities. how
ever that we will send men not later
than Monday morning, next.
Meanwhile passenger traffic,
transportation of perishable freight,
mails and express must necessarily
cease in and out Of Bloomington.
Protection Promised.
"Our principal and largest shop
plants and terminals are at Bloom
ington," continued Mr. Bierd. "Since
the strike was called a week ago, the
county authorities, with the assist
ance Of the mayor and, police, have
from day to day promised protec-
ton, but each day has passed with
out protection being provided. Mean
while, of course, the officials and
foremen are wearing out, having
reached the limit of human endur-.
ance.> Traffic has moved promptly
thus far, but we realize we cannot
go on permanently in this manner.
The sheriff did succeed in swear
ing in about 100 deputies of the usual
average business class in Blooming
ton. but when asked to carry out
their duties the deputies practically
declined to serve. They suggested
that they remain uptown at the court
house and be provided with trucks to
go to the scene of trouble when
alarms were turned in. This. of
course, was useless and HOPELESS"

Maj. John Emery
Makes Senate Race
on 'Newberryism'
Former National Commander
of American Legion Seeks
Defeat of Senator Town.
send in Michigan.
BY GRAFTON WILCOX.
Omaha BAA LeOsAd Wire.

Grand Rapids, Mich. July 8.-Maj.
John G. Emery, former national
commander of the American Legion,
who fought in France without pre-
vious military experience, and came
out OF the war with a fine military
record. has now enlisted in the war
on "Newberryism" in Michigan.
Without previous political expert
ence except as commissioner OF this
city, Maj. Emery, Al years old, full
of energy, honesty of purpose, con-
viction that American politics need
renovating and that good place to
begin is at the top, is candidate for
the republican nomination for sena-
ator against Charles Z. Townsend,
the incumbent, and Representative
Patrick Kelley of Lansing.
Cunning for Townsend.
Like Kelley, Maj. Emery is making
"Newberryism" the issue, and is
training his guns on Senator Town
send because the latter voted to seat
Newberry.
Maj. Emery, who packs a strong,
appealing oratorical punch, is nine
ing no words about "Newberryism"
and has been blazing away as an
avowed candidate since last January,
long before the senate finally voted
to seat Newberry, and before Repre-
sentative Kelley decided to be can
didate.
For this reason Maj. Emery feels
strongly that Kelley should get out
of the race, and leave the field Of
protest against Townsend to him.
Those who think Newberyism is
dead issue in Michigan" said Maj.
Emery today, "are kidding them
selves. 1t is very much the issue in
this state, and will be until the cleo
tion is over. If Townsend is renom-
mated, I honestly believe that Wood
bridge N. Ferris, the democratic
candidate, will defeat him."
Organize Clubs.
For months friends of Maj. EN-
cry have been organizing Emery
for Senator" clubs throughout the
state. Men are volunteering to fight
for him without pay.
"You see that I have an organiza-
ton, and that is more than Kelley
has," he said. "All his political friends
belong to the old guard" and they
are working for Townsend. To be
sure, mine is an organization of po-
litical boobs; but it is an organiza-
ton made up Of good old solid
American citizens, who hate political
corruption"

attorney to give him a command to
get his head raised and his eyes
turned toward the visitors.
Brown Silent.
Both of the women said they did
and it was necessary for the county
not know whether they had ever seen
any of the nine men before.
Brown did not comment as the
visitors left.
Mrs. Siefken was witness to the
murder of her husband and her son.
A few minutes before the murder
Mrs. Spiwak had been followed by a
man to the scene of the murder and
Robert Siefken had interfered and
obtained an escort for her.
Before he died Robert Siefken said
the man who followed Mrs. Spiwak
was the man who shot him and his
father.

Taft Wins Hearts
Of British People
by Homely Ways
Chief Justice Given Affec.
tionate Farewell Afis- 9
- sp,a S'e'k,Ma'' =.
.,r,: asNA' )

Loneis's' A. pN-
Few A -..ars have ever had such
a spontaneous greeting or such al.
fectiona,e farewell at the hands oi
the British as Chief Justice Taft has
just received The genial ex-presi.
dent OF the United States cap,ivated
all hearts during his three weeks
stay here by his joviality, his kirdli.
ness and his unaffected manner.
The Britons, who are accustomed
to regard their own public men in
high places with something akin to
awe, were frankly surprised to Ind
the former head Of l00,000000 people
so modest, depocratic and approach
able. and Mrs. Taft came in for a
large share of their admiration.
The chief justice surpassed his own
White House record in speechmak-
irg. banqucting and public recep-
tons. During his 20 days here lie
was the guest Of honor at l9 dinners,
II luncheons and 81 receptions. lie
officiated at one christening, attended
one golden wedding. dined with the
king, danced with the queen, met all
of. official England and thousands
of other people and was made an
honorary member of the British
bench and bar.
Oxford. Cambridge and Aberdeen
honored him with degrees, which,
with his American honors, gave him
the total of l6 titles. In the minds
of Englishmen he has been one Of
the most successful unofficial am
bassadors from the United States in
the present generation.
Regatta Declines Socially.
Old rowing men are mourning
over the decline of the Henley re-
gatta week as a social event. In
prewar days it rivaled the Ascot
races. The king and queen made
their appearance in state on the
course in the royal barge, and resi-
dents of the little riverside town
rented their houses for ESQ, and
the hotels were all sold out months
in advance. Americans arriving late
this year had no trouble in finding
rooms at any time at reasonable
rates.
Henley suffers from competition
with other sports. Ascot week, the
horse show. the polo
tournament with the Argentine stars
in action and the tennis on the new
Wimbledon courts, all Immediately
preceded it this year, and Suzanne
Lenglen in the championship tennis
this week was strong
counter attraction. Consequently,
the Henley attendance was narrowed
down to rowing enthusiasts.
The event was also marked by
rain. For the rowing men them
selves, however, the Henley regatta
becomes more interesting, as, like
polo and tennis it assumes yearly
noreof international character.
Had Ancient Documents.
Some conception of the confusion
which may be expected to result
from the destruction of the Four
Courts in Dublin was given by
Colonial Secretary Churchill when
he told the house of commons the
other day that the courts held legal,
ecclesiastical testamentary documents
dating from the latter part of the
9Th century and some of earlier
date: all wills from 1886 to 1899 and
some latter ones; the census re-
turns for the period Of 1921 to 1851,
ana a large number Of parish reg
sters recording births, marriages
and deaths. Scarcely any dupli-
Gates exist.

Self-Preservation

4 Home ownership is the ex-
preston of the first law of
nature, self-preservation. 1t
is a natural instinct for man
to provide a permanent
home for his family-a
home in which to rear his
children to his ideals and
where his wife and family
will always be assured of
their own dwelling, secure
from un ward circum-
stance. The owning Of a
home is a duty that every
man owes himself, his fam
lily and to society.

ton instinct. Turn to the

Fire Fighters
New Blazes Develop Proper

Break All Possibility

Seattle, Wash, July 8.-Calls for
additional forest fire fighters were
being filled today by timber protec-
tive agencies Of every county in west
ern Washington.
While cooler weather yesterday de-
creased the impetus with which the
flames had been spreading, the VOL
ume of reports from every forested
area of the state had aroused timbe,
owners and state authorities to the
peril and crews were being aug
nlented with all the men available.
Reports to State Forester Fred E.
Pape late last night indicated that
no. new blazes of consequence de-
veloped yesterday, although num-
Der which had originated during the
preceding days gained proportions
which threatened to break from all
possibility of control and to eat their
way into stands of valuable timber.
Railroads also have added their
men to the fighters.
