THE HARMON COUNTY TRIBUNE
E
PARALYZES COAST
TRAFFIC DEMORALIZED IN
THE FRUIT BELT OF
CALIFORNIA
STONE ORDERS MEN TO WORK
Bu.t So Far Orders Have Not Been
Complied With—Worst Strike
In History of West Coast
Los Angeles.—An order to all mem-
bers of the brotherhood of railway
trainmen who are on strike in South-
ern California to return to work was
received from W. G. Lee, president of
the brotherhood, contained tho warn-
ing that members who failed to obey
the order would be suspended.
Mr. Lee's message pointed out that
the strike had not been sanctioned by
the international organization and
that the members in engaging in a
sympathetic strike "will only make a
bad situation very much worse. Ad-
vices from the railroad administration
are to tho effect that the Pacific elec-
tric is operating under practically
normal conditions with strike break-
ers and that the only roads embar-
rassed on the coast are government
controlled lines, where our organiza-
tion holds contracts."
Worst Strike In History of Coast
San Francisco.—Although both gov-
ernment and railroad officials were
•training to prevent Its spread, a
atrike of yard and switchmen and al-
lied crafts is paralyzing steam rail
transportation in southern and central
'California. The men who went on
iStrike as Individuals nnd without a
'formal reason, defied definite orders of
their union officials to return. In
southern California telegraphic In-
structions were received from Warren
Stone, president of the Brotherhood
locomotive Engineers, for the men
it that craft to resume their posts.
The men had the instructions under
consideration.
Worst Strike in History
^Railroad officials said it was the
worst strike In the history of tho
state.
No trains moved in our out of Ix>a
Angeles. In the great Santa Clara
Valley pear picking ceased and can-
neries were endeavoring to obtain one
ithousand motor trucks to bring in and
Clear their supply. In San Jose an
order was issued that gasoline should
ibe sold only for. commercial purposes.
Milk trains were stalled In many
points and freight service over the
whole affected area was at a stand-
still.
An embargo on all freight coming
'Into the San Francisco Dairy district
over the Southern and Western Paci-
fic lines was put Into effect.
Officials of the shopmen's union
here announced that the men would
not participate in the strike. In both
San Francisco and Santa Barbara su-
iperintenflents and other executives
hooked up trains. Fresno bankers pre-
dicted that half of the green fruit ship-
pers would be ruined unless there was
quick relief.
FLEET REVIEW SEPT. 1ST
Great Show Will Be Pulled Off at
San Francisco
I Washington.—The review of the
fnewly-created Pacific fleet will be held
'at San Francisco September 1, Acting
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt an-
nounced. This will preclude attend-
ance of President Wilson at the re-
view.
Secretary Daniels, governors of sev-
eral western states, and the mayors
of various Pacific coast cities, will
make up the reviewing party.
At the White House, following Sec-
retary Roosevelt's announcement, it
■was said that the chance in the date
of the fleet review would not change
the president's plans for the western
part of his trip.
White House officials satd It was
probable that the navy department's
decision was predicated on the desire
of persons on the Pacific coast to
have the review held at an early date.
PREDICTS TREATY WILL PASS [j J J()()pfJ|
RETAIL STORES
HITCHCOCK OPTIMISTIC AF-
TER SEEING WILSON
8enate Tacks On a Few More Amend-
ments—McCumber Lines Up
With the Minority.
Washington.—Provision for Ameri-
can representation on a score of inter-
national commissions to carry out de-
tails of the peace settlement would be
stricken out of the peace treaty under
a sweeping amendment adopted by the
senate foreign relations committee.
Later in the stnate Itself, the com-
mittee's previous decision to amend
the Shantung section raised a whirl-
wind of debate with Senator McCum-
ber, North Dakota, bitterly attacking
the committee's course and Senator
Borah, Idaho, defending it. Both are
republican members of the committee.
In its decision regarding American
participation in the reconstruction
commlasions, the committee divided on
party lines and the seven democratic
votes all being recorded in the nega-
tive. Senator McCumber, who voted
with the democrats against the Shan-
tung amendment, was absent.
Ratification of the treaty some time
during September, defeat of the pro-
posed Shantung amendment with the
aid of at least twelve republican voles
and voting down of all amendments to
the treaty that might cause it to be
sent back for re-negotiation, was pre-
dicted by Senator Hitchcock after a
conference with President Wilson.
"We are satisfied that the Shantung
amendment will be very substantially
beaten." said the senator. "There will
be at least a dozen republican votes
against It. Senator McCumber today
put the nail in its coffin."
The Nebraska senator said he him-
self felt that the proposed trip of the
president to the Pacific coast seemed
more advisable now than heretofore.
He said, however, that the president
did not disclose his plans with regard
to the tour.
In his speech in the Benate, Senator
McCumber declared the committee
majority really intended the Shantung
amendment to drive a "poisoned
blade" into the treaty with the pur-
pose of killing ttie league of nations.
He asserted that the change which
would give to China instead of to
Japan the old German rights in Shan-
tung province waB actually a blow at
China because It could accomplish no
result but to drive Japan out of the
league and leave her free to pursue a
course of spoliation against Chinese
territory.
Sahate to Hold Hearing.
Washington.—Extending the scope
of its public inquiry regarding the
peace treaty, the senate foreign re-
lations committee, announced a sched-
ule of hearings that promises to
occupy most of its time for the next
two weeks and to lead into the in-
tricacies of political and territorial
problems In several parts of the
World.
The disputed questions to be
touched upon in the eight-day sched-
ule In connection with the disposition
of Fiume, of the Aland Islands and
of the German colonies in Africa and
the claim of Ireland for independence.
On the list of witnesses are represen-
tatives of the Italians, Jugo-Slavs,
Hungarian-Americans, Greeks, Irish
Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Esthonians,
Letts and American negroes.
Under the arrangement at the time
to be devoted on work on amendments
to the treaty this week will be reduced
from three days to two, Thursday
having been set aside to hear the
negro delegation on the question of
the African colonies.
Treaty Placed Before French.
Paris.—The peace treaty with Ger-
many and the other conventions sim-
ultaneously signed at Versailles, were
presented for ratification to the
chamber of deputies by Premier
demenceau.

unanimously approved the peace
treaty with Germany. The chamber
of deputies ratified the treaty Augyst

Dallas.—A reunion of all army men
who composed the 90th division will
he held here October 11, according to
announcement made by the Ninetteth
Division Association, with headquart-
ers here. This association plans to
have printed a complete history of the
90th division and keep on file at its
headquarters a record of every man
serving in the division, either in the
states or overseas. The organization
1s purely a civilian one and formed to
vision.
Reorganizing the Army
Washington.—Conditions of which
the public has knowledge make It im-
portant that a thorough state of ef-
ficiency in the American army be
reached with as little delay as possi-
ble. Secretary Baker declared in a
letter to Chairman Kahn of the house
military affairs committee, which went
exhaustively into the reasons why he
has asked congress for authority to re-
tain a maximum of 18.000 commanding
officers In the military establishment
up to June 30, 1920.
Postal Raise Favored
Washington.—A flat increase in sal-
ary of $150 for each postofflce employe
for this fiscal year is proposed in a
resolution favorably reported by the
house postofflce committee.
Bank Robbers Take $50,000.
Newton. Kans Forcing three of-
ficials and a stenographer of the First
National bank of Newton to He upon

Liberty bonds.
HOUSEHOLD COMMODITIES

News Told by Judge Brandeis at
Farewell Dinner.
London.—The British government is
to assume the mandate for Palestine,
Justice Brandeis announced at a fare-
well dinner given In his honor by
British Zionists at the Rita.
Justice Brandeis has sailed for
America. On his arrival in New York
he will go directly to Chicago, where
he is to lay the entire Palestine pro-
gram before the Zionist convention on
September 14, including his own plan
for the rehabilitation of the Hob-
Land.
He expressed his enthusiastic belief
in various practical steps to be taken
to prepare Palestine for occupation by
five million of the world's 14,000,000
Jews.
MAIL ORDERS TO BE ACCEPTED
Branches to Be Established in 14 Zono
Cities on September 25 to Dispose
of Surplus Army
Supplies.
Washington—Retail stores for the
sale of household commodities in-
cluded in the surplus stocks of the
war department will be established
September 25. The stores will be
located in depot centers and other
large cities and they will accept and
fill mail orders.
Continued purchase by the depart-
ment of certain necessities so that
these stores may be continued indefi-
nitely as a part of the government
campaign against the high cost of liv-
ing, is understood to be under con-
sideration.
Prices on all commodities offered
for sale will be so fixed as to prevent
discrimination between the purchasers
who buy over the counter and those
who purchase through the mail.
All mail orders will be delivered by
parcel post, but the policy of making
these sales through the postofflce de-
partment is to be discontinued. All
such orders will go directly to the
stores. To expedite the mail-order
sales, the postofflce department has
asked to establish sub-stations in each
store. Catalogs quoting prices and
giving the location of all stores are
being prepared and will be available
at every postofflce in the United
States. The present plan is to open
stores in the fourteen zone supply
cities, Boston, New York, Philadelphia.
Baltimore, Atlanta, Jeffersonville, In-
diana; Chicago, St. Louis, New Or-
leans, San Antonio, Omaha, El Paso,
San Francisco, and Washington. The
chain will be extended to additional
cities as rapidly as possible.
THR£E BANKS ARE ROBBED
And Four Bank Robbers Are Safely
Locked Up in Jail
Oklahoma City.—A wave of bank
robberies, apparently committed by at
least two, and possibly three, separate
gangs, broke out in Oklahoma last
week. All three were pulled off in
the middle of the afternoon, at Lind-
say one day and at Bigheart and Me-
ridian the next day. The work was
similar in each case and rather ama-
teurish.
G. H. Freund, C. H. Cyle and John
Haskins, 23, 22 and 21 years old, re-
spectively, are in the county jail at
Guthrie, charged with the robbery of
the bank at Meridian in which $2,-
532.30 was taken an^ J. M. Heath,
bank president, H. S. McCroskey, bank
cashier, and J. C. Miller, a visitor,
were locked In the bank vault.
The men admitted that they made
the robbery. Two of the men are res-
idents of Crescent, Logan county,
while the other lives six miles south-
east of Guthrie. J. M. Heath, presi-
dent of the bank which was robbed,
has identified the men captured as
those who committed the nobbery.
Money Recovered
The money, $2,532.30, and the stol-
en bonds, was recovered and deposit-
ed in a bank at Perkins.
The capture of the three bandits
is due to the fact that they drove a
brightly colored Grant automobile,
which could be easily recognized.
WILSON COUNSELS CAUTION
URGES A TRUCE IN WAGE-
RAISING
Tells Railway Shopmen Effort Should
Be Centered on Reducing Costs
of Living.
Washington.—Postponement of the
settlement of wage demands until nor-
mal economic conditions are restored
was announced by President Wilson
as the policy which the administra-
tion will pursue in dealing with such
questions, i>ai ticularly those affecting
railroad workers.
The president announced also that
it was neither wise nor feasible at
this time, when the most important
question before the country is a re-
turn to a normal price level, to at-
tempt to increase freight rates to pro-
vide funds for higher wages.
"We ought to postpone questions of
this sort until we have the oppor-
tunity for certain calculations as to
the relations between wages and the
cost of living," the president declared
in a statement to the public explain-
ing his decision as to wages. "It is
the duty of every citizen to insist
upon a truce in such contests until
intelligent settlements can be made,
and made by peace and effective com-
mon counsel. I appeal to my fellow
citizens of every employment to co-
operate in insisting upon and main-
taining such a truce."
Mr. Wilson's statement was issued
in connection wit^i the decision of
himself ami Director General Hines on
demands by railroad shopmen for a 25
per cent advance in wages, but the
general policy pronounced covers also
the wage demands of other hundreds
of thousands of railroad workers
which are pending before the director
general or about to be presented. It
is to be expc-cted that other unions
trying to obtain more pay will be
asked as the shopmen, to play their
part with other citizens if. reducing
the cost of living by foregoing a
temporary advantage which would
add to transportation costs.
The decision of the president and
the director general was announced
to a committee of one hundred, repre-
senting the shopmen. In reply to
their demands for a 25 per cent in-
crease, the shopmen were asked to
accept an adjustment of their pay to
the basis of ten hours pay for eight
hours work, which they contended
was given other employes and denied
them when the Adamson law became
effective. This means an advance of
the basis pay from 68 cents to 72
cents an hour.
FOR UNIFIED RAIL SYSTEM
Lenroot's Bill Radical Departure From
Plumb Idea.
Washington.—Unification of the rail-
roads of the country into one privately
owned system with .minimum earnings
guaranteed, the management shared
by the security holders, public and
employes and with provision for shar-
ing excess profits between the public
and employes, Is proposed in a bill
introduced by Senator I^enroot of Wis-
consin. The plan differs radically
from the Plumb plan.
Under the proposed plan the rail-
roads of the country would be placed
under the private ownership and oper-
ation of one corporation, the manage-
ment of which, however, would be un-
der the supervision of the interstate
commerce commission, but conducted
directly by a board of eleven direct-
ors appointed by the president and
confirmed by the senate, consisting of
two employes, two representing the
United States chamber of commerce,
two farmers, three security holders
and one each from the interstate com-
merce commission and the state rail-
way commission.
Lindsay Bank Robbed
Lindsay.— Three unmasked bandits
held up and robbed the First National
bank here In the middle of the after-
noon, escaping with more than $700
when a stenographer gave the alarm.
That the robbers did not get all the
money in the bank at the time is due
tc, the coolness of F. M. Bell, assl3t-
an' cashier, and Miss Winifred Gar-
denhaire, who were in the building.
The three bi.ndits drove their car to
the rear door of the bank, left one
man in tho cat, stationed another at
the door, while the third entered the
bank with a gun in each hand. Bell,
who was waiting on a customer at the
window, made no sign when the com-
mand was given to "hand over" the
money but proceeded to comply, In the
meantime quietly giving the alarm to
Miss Gardenhaire. She dashed out the
rear door, running Into the guard,
who. taken by surprise, let her pas s
When citizens began coming into
the bank after the alarm was given,
the robbers, who seemed to be ama-
teurs, picked up the cash in sight and
speeded out of town.
One Caught at Bigheart
Bigheart.—Two bandits who held up
the Bank of Bigheart at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, failed in their attempt
j to get the bank's cash, and one of the
| men was captured as he ran from the
bank by Indian Agent Stephens, who
! had been chasing him from Ochelata
for stealing an automobile, while the
other jumped into the car of a Big
heart man. pointed a gun at his head
I and forced him to drive out of town.
The robber captured was O. B. Crwd-
by, until two months ago a barber
here, who claims Miami a6 his home.

El Centro, Cal.—Mexican cavalry
under the command of Captain Trujillo
were reported to be escorting to the
international boundary Lieutenants
Frederick Waterhouse and C. B. Con-
nelly, American aviators who have
been missing from Rockwell field
since last Wednesday.
Captain Trujillo reported by courier
to Colonel Hipolito Barnaca, chief of
the military forces of lower California,
who has directed a search for the men,
that he had found them alive In
Lower California, about 200 miles
southeast of San Diego, Cal. The
country where the men were found is
mountainous and inaccessible. It is
expected the men will be brought to
Ensenoa, the capital of Lower Cali-
fornia, or to Mexicalo, whence they
will be taken to the United States.
Colonel Baranca dispatched a cour-
ier with a request for details to the

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM OF"
HEAVEN.
LESSON TEXT-Matt. 13:31-33, 44-50.
GOLDEN TEXT-Seek ye first th
kingdom of God and his righteousness.—
Matt. 6:33.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Obeying our king.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A message of the
king.
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-The growth,
of the kingdom.
SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-The
extent of the kingdom.
f. The Parable of the Mustard Seed
(v. 31, 32).
Three things mainly occupy eur at-
tention in this parable:
1. Its unimportant beginning. It
begins as the least of all seeds and
(rows to be the greatest among herbs.
The king was of ordinary parentage
and humble circumstances. He select-
ed unlettered fishermen as his royaf
advisers. The prophet had said con-
cerning him that he would be "de-
spised," "rejected," "forsaken," "cut
off" and as "hiving nothing."
2. Its vigorous growth. From these
small beginnings Christ's Influence has
gone forth so that there Is no power
or Influence equal In greatness tethat
of Christendom.
3. Its lodging capacity.
The birds which find lodgment in
the tree do not represent the children
of men who find safety and salvation,
In the church. The birds constitute
no part of the tree, while the believer
becomes a part of the tree, adding to
Its strength and frultfulness. The birds
are something foreign to the tree, and
are burdensome and Injurious to It.
They come to find shelter and wait to-
pluck off the tender buds, or to prey
upon the ripened fruit. The effect of
their lodging In the tree Is evil and
blighting. In Christ's Interpretation
(v. 19) he said that the fowls repre-
sent the wicked ones. He who would
make the lodgers here anything else
makes Christ's Interpretation a farce.
The same Greek word is used In both
cases, and the circumstances are the
same.
II. The Parable of the LeavenedP
Meal (v. 33).
Three things mainly occupy our at-
tention here: the meal, the woman,
and the leaven.
1. The meal. Meal has a whole-
some and nutritious effect. It was
used In one of the sweet-savour offer-
ings which was typical of Christ (Lev.
2:1-3 R. V.); It was food for the
priests (Lev. 6:15-17 R. V.); Abraham,
had Sarah to knead a cake out of
three measures of meal for the angelic
messengers of the Lord (Gen. 18:6);
Solomon's royal table was provided
with meal (I Kings 4:2); Elijah was-
fed upon a cake made of meal (It
Kings 4:41); Elisha used meal as an
antidote for the poison of death fron®
the pot (II Kings 4:38-41).
2. The woman. In scripture we
find false doctrine being taught by
woman (Rev. 2:20). Dealing with
doctrine is forbidden to women (I
Tim. 2:12). In I Tim. 4:13; II Tina.
2:17, 18; II Peter 2:1-3, we find that
the apostasy will be brought in-
through false teaching within the
ranks of God's people. The meaning,
then, of the parable Is that the true
doctrine, the meal given for the nour-
ishment of the children of the king-
dom (H Peter 2:2, I Tim. 4:6), will be
officially corrupted by false doctrine-
Woman Is a type of the church In
some sense. The church is hiding:
away false doctrine, and its corrupt-
ing effects are seen on every hand.
3. The leaven. In scripture leavero
is Invariably a type of evil. (1) A1B
through the Old Testament leaven Is
a continual and unvarying type of
evil (Ex. 12:15; Lev. 2:11). It Is In-
conceivable that Jesus should arbi-
trarily change, without due notice
and explanation, a word from an
evil to a good sense, which the Spirit
of God had so unchangingly used for
two thousand years. (2) Jesus him-
self makes leaven to denote sin (Matt.
10:6, 12; Mark 8:15). (3) Paul uses
leaven In its usual biblical sense (1
Cor. 5:6-8; Gal. 5:8, 9). Further, this
Is the only Interpretation that will
harmonize with Christ's interpreta-
tion of the first two parables. Facts
patent to all prove that the professed
church today is feeding upon the
leaven of formalism and legalism In-
stead of the unleavened bread of sin-
cerity and truth—the Word of God.
III. The Parable of the Hid Treas-
ure (v. 44).
