Chicago, June 12.—The first two of
about 30 railroads involved in a wage
dispute with the United Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way Employees
and railroad workmen began presen-
tation of testimony late today.
None of the carriers has met the
unions demands ranging from 8% to
IS per cent per hour estimated to af-
fect 100,000 men.
Representatives of the Fort Smith
and Western explained that the car-
riers is now operating at a loss, and
that an increase in wages would force
it again into the hands of a receiver.
Testimony for the Texas and Pacific
was confined mainly to the presenta-
tion of a combination of wages paid |
in other industry, the carriers repre-i
sented that the present represented
no general upward trend of wages in
its territory.

By the Awoelated Press
New York, June 12.—Members of
crews of foreign steamships in New
York Harbor which left their home
ports before June 10 when the Treas-
ury ruling on ship liquor went into
effect, learned that they could get
their customary liquor rations only
by going ashore and getting their ra-
tions in the same methods used by
some Americans.
These must be classed as “Medi-
cinol” and as such will be permitted
to cruise on vessels which sailed be-
fore June 10. Other hopes were des-
troyed by the announcement of Dr.
E. K. Sprague, local head of the
United States Public Health Service,
on instructions from Washington that
the dry ship ruling would be literally
enforced.
The ruling he declared would in no
sense permit the including of wine-
rations under the heading of medi-
cine.
“It is a far stretch of the imagin-
ation,” he observed.

New York, June 12.—Withdrawal
of a $6,000,000 suit brought by the
Vitagraph Company of America
against the Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation was announced today by
the latter firm. Efforts of Will H.
Hays, director general of the motion
picture industry were said to have
been instrumental in the agreement.
The Vitagraph Company alleged in
its complaint that the Famous Play-
ed had conspired to control first run
motion picture theatres thereby sup-
pressing competition and thereby re-
straining interstate commerce.
Vitagraph declared it had been in-
jured to the extent of $2,000,000 by
the alleged practice. and under the
provisions of the Sherman law asked
Federal court for twice that amount.

Homes By Flood
Tulsa, June 12.—With 3,000, to
4,000 people driven from their homes
by flood waters of the Arkansas River
Tulsa tonight was in the grip of the
worst flood of its history. Early to-
night the Arkansas was higher than
at any time since records were start-
ed being kept here.
Approximately 3,000 refugees have
left the area between Tulsa and Sand
Springs. The number of refugees
from West Tulsa is estimated at 1,-
000. There has been only one casu-
alty. Shirley Blackwell, negro, was
killed when he dived from the Sand
Springs bridge and struck his head
against a sharp object.

predictions tonight are that the Ar-

The record mark is 2’1.9 feet reached
in May 1922.
If the expected river stages occur,
a large area in North Little Rock
will be inundated as will four places

Pine Bluff may also expect a consid-
erable inundation, the forecast said

CHECKING UP
Charles Myers of the United
Savings and Loan Company of
Tulsa tells this one: A negro
came into his office and asked
to use the telephone. The fol-
lowing one-sided conversation
was overheard:
“Hello, is this you, Mrs.
Smith? I see youah ad in the
Sunday papah two weeks ago.
Is you all satisfied wid de man
you got? I see! Is you con-
templatin’ a change soon? You
is not? All right, thank you,
ma’am.”
Desiring to be friendly, Myers
said: “Too bed someone had
the job.”
“That’s all right," replied the
negro. “You see I’se de nigger
dot got de job two weeks ago,
and I was Jus’ checkin’ up.”
In reply to the outlaw’s demands
for foreign guarantees of immunity
from punishment and other terms if
the captives were released, Anderson
explained that this would be possible
only if the foreign powers took over
the government of China, a course the
brigands themselves desired to avoid.
When Anderson had finished Gen-
eral Chen, representing the military

The stage was the village of
Tliliho, 15 miles from Tsao Chwang.
In the center of the bandit chieftians

Chinese customs and the chosen in-
