THE _SUNDAY IANES H. HAWLEY OF IH0 EXPRES Former Governor of Western State Led Prosecution of “Big Bill” Haywood. By the Associated Press. - BOISE, Idaho, August 3.—Former Gov. James H. Hawley, long prom- | inent in the councils of the Democratic party in this State and a leading fig- ure in Idaho's early history, died here! this afternoon after a lingering illness. | He was stricker with heart trouble | several months ago and was confined to | his bed. Later he recovered somgwhat | and has been able to ride aboul the| city. Taken suddenly ill again today, | he died shortly after 2 p.m. For more than half a century James H. Hawley had been one of the out- standing figures in the commegcial, civic and political, development of Idaho. = As a young man residing in_Cali- fornia, he was attracted to Idaho by the discovery of gold in the latter State and in the early sixties was present in the first rush for holdings in the Boise Basin. From that time on he participated in virtually every feature of the mning; development, either as a miner, attor- ney or politician, and then spent the latter vears of his life practicing law, ‘with his sons as partners. Early in the century Mr. Hawley led the State prosecuting forces memorable legal battle in which the Jate William (Big Bil) Haywood. George Pettibone and Charles Moyer were tried on a charge of complicity in the assassination of former Gov. Frank Steunenburg. Although none of the three was convicted, the trial added to the prestige of Mr. Hawley, who later was elected Governor of the State, and of Willlam E. Borah, who became United States Senator. Elected Governor. Mr. Hawley served one term as Gov- ernor. 1911-13, and as the Democratic candidate for re-election was defeated by John M. Haines. In one ambition, 1o represent his State in Congress, he was doomed to disappointment. Twice ‘he sought that honor, in 1888 and again in 1914, but was defeated both times. His career, however, was well marked with political offices, both State and Federal. Born at Dubuque, Towa, January 17, 1847, Mr. Hawley was of English, TIrish and Dutch ancestry. His mother died when he was an_infant and after the son had finished his high-school course, his father, Thomas Hawley, moved to California., From there the son went to Idaho when gold was discovered. After two years he returned to Cali- fornia to study law and upon complet- ing his course resumed his mining ac- tivities in Idaho. He served in both branches of the Legislature and in 1886 ‘was_appointed by President, Cleveland as United States district attorney for Idaho. He also served as mayor of Boise. y In 1875 Mr. Hawley married Miss Mary E. Bullock. They had eight chil- dren, of whom six grew to maturity. Sentenced to Death. During his law-school course in Cali- fornia. Mr. Hawley joined a group of young men on a filibustering expedition that took them to China and nearly cost them thelr lives. They were lured to the Far East by reports of trouble incidental to the breaking down of the Chinese “wall of isolation” by foreign wers, Arriving at Shanghai, the group attempted to seize a Chinese gun- boat with a view to sailing it up the ‘Yangtze River to join the rebel Chinese. Captured in the raid, the group was quickly sentenced to death. As Ameri- cans were not highly regarded by the Chinese at the time, the men brought about their release by posing as British subjects. ‘The Steunenburg murder trial, un- questionably one of the most notable in Idaho's legal history, lasted for three months, during which the capital city, Boise, virtually was in a state of siege. On the State's side Mr. Hawley had Senator Borah as associate counsel, while opposed to them as leader of the defense was Clarence S. Darrow. Only one man, Harry Orchard, was sent to prison. He confessed to a series of crimes, of which the planting of the bomb that killed Steunenburg was only an incident. Attended Conventions. One of the outstanding achievements ©of Mr. Hawley's term as governor was increasing the taxable property in the State from a value of $127,000,000 to $329,000,000. He continued his interest in politics_ until after his eightieth birthday. In 1928 he was a delegate to both the State and national Democratic conventions. He was regarded as one of the fore- most trial attorneys of his State and once was credited by Senator Borah with “having saved the necks of more men than any one I know.” Ruth Elder Enters Air Race.

RANGERS BATTLE 20 FOREST FIRES Lightning Causes Damage in National Forests of North- west States. By the Associated Press. SPOKANE, Wash.,, August 3.—For- !est rangers today were fighting scores of fires started by lightning in national forests in Northwestern States. An electrical storm which swept over the Cascade Mountains from Southern Oregon to the Canadian border last night started at least 200 fires, officials of the Forest Bureau at Portland, Oreg., estimated. ‘Thunderbolts started 100 fires in Montana and Idaho, rangers at Spo- kane said. A strong wind fanned the blazes, but in Eastern Washington rain dampened the flames. Pend Oreille Fires. Reports to the United States Forest Service at Missoula, Mont., said there were 25 fires in the Pend Oreille For- est; 1 of 3,500 acres on private lands adjoining it, and 18 on the KLaniksu Forest; 5 on the Coeur D'Alene Forest, 7 in the Lolo Forest and several on the Missoula and St. Joe. Forty-three fires in North Idaho had been reported at San Point, Idaho. Federal foresters and Pend Oreille Tim- ber Protective Association men said firefighters were battling each blaze. Eastern Washington Damage. Damage estimated at several thou- sand doliars was done in the Palouse area of Eastern Washington by the wind last night as it swept away peas in the shock. Standing wheat was not damaged. Light rains cleared the skies of smoke near Marcus, Wash., where other fires had raged. None of the fires in Oregon and Washington was considered serious. Quick action by rangers prevented most of them from spreading. Forty-three new fires were veported in the Deschutes National Forest in Oregon in the past two days and all were brought under control with small damage. Eighteen new lightning fires were re- ported in the Rainier, Wash., Naticnal Forest. Two were burning today cver an area of 10 acres each. ‘The forrestry office here said the 2,000-acre fire in the Rainier Forest reported yesterday has been brought under control by 125 men. _— The Great Western colliery at Pinty- pridd, one of the largest in Wales, re- cently closed down, throwing more than 1,400 men out of worl SEEK THRD PARTY INDEATHS OF T Alabama Authorities Form Posse to Find Slayer of Man and Woman.

C., AUGUST 4, 1929-—-PART 1 INTERNATIONAL EVENTS WRECK DIPLOMATS’ VACATION PLANS Ambassadors Rush to Capital When Some- thing Starts Now, Recalling Their “Indifference” When War Started. BY DREW PEARSON. It is becoming axiomatic in State Department circles that hot weather always brings bad breaks for the diplo- mat. Apparently the gods who regu- late both the elements and international relations always break the biggest in- ternational happenings when the diplo- mat would like to be at his New Eng- land Summer resort. This has happened Summer after Summer since the war, but this Summer it has been worse than ever. Impor- tant negotiatiois have kept the Wash- ington diplomatic corps either in: the Capital or near it or have brought them scurrying back at top speed. The Senate finance committee’s delibera- tions over the tariff, naval negotiations, the Russo-Chinese crisis and the final ratification of the Kellogg anti-war treaty have made imperative demands upon diplomatic attention, The German and Japanese embassies have had an especially hard time, Ambassador Debuchi of Japan decided to spend his Summer at Buena Vista, Pa., within 100 miles of Washington so gx:t l}e m‘:]d‘ come down to the State partment in a hurry if necessary. Probably he didn't realize how often it would be necessary for him to come, however. No sooner had he comfort- ably ensconced himself in his Summer horme than Russia and China got into their row in Manchuria. Mr. Debuchi eame hurrying back to Washington. After a conference with Secretary of State Stimson, he returned to his Summer home the same afternoon, but immediately newspapers in Japan, for some reason not yet de- termined, began reporting that Am- bassador Debuchi had mnot constilted with the State Department. Following this, he had to return to Washington again. And shortly afterward he had to come back to deposit Japan's ratifi- cation to the Kellogg treaty. Then again he was calied in by Secretary Stimson to receive an aide memoire regarding the return of the Chinese Eastern Rallway to Russia. And now he has to keep in touch with the naval negotiations. Ambassodar von Prittzwitz of Ger- many decided in mid-July that all was quiet along the Potomac and that he wowd not. be needed until Congress got goirfg again in September. Therefore he went to Europe and the charge d'affaires of his embassy moved to Manchester, Mass. About one week after this happened the international affairs above mentioned began to pop. Due to the absence of the charge d’affaires, Secretary Stimson did not call upon Germany to co-operate in | his Russo-Chinese negotiations and it was not until Herr Leitner came down from Manchester that the German gov- ernment got into the thick of things. Meanwhile most of the diplomats haye remained in Washington with their staffs. The French, Italian, Brit- ish, Cuban and Turkish have all been especially busy, and their Ambassadors have remained in Washington practi- cally all Summer. The British em- bassy has moved to a Maryland country estate on the outskirts of Washington and Sir Esme Howard has said that when the new embassy is finished on the cool hilltop of Massachusetts ave- nue the staff will remain in the city all next Summer. All this is in striking contrast with the wide berth which the diplomatic corps gave the Nation's Capital 15 years ago this very week. With Europe entering the most deadly death strug- gle in history not one envoy took the trouble to come to Washington to con- fer with the State Department. RENT A CAR RAINS SYSTEM 1308 H Street N.W.

It was from Newport that the Rus- sian Ambassador, Bakhmeteff, sent this cryptic telegram to Secretary of State Bryan on August 2, 1914: “I have just been informed by my government that Germany has declared war on us.” From the German Ambassador, at the same Summer resort, came a simi- lar message: “I am Instructed by my government to inform you that the 1st of August Germany is in a state of war with Russia.” It was from Manchester that the Italian embassy telegraphed Bryan notifying him of Italy’s intentions to remain neutral. The French embassy at Manchester sent a lengthy explanation on the “way hostilities were started.” But not one diplomat on the eve of the World War deserted the New England beaches to confer personally with the State De- partment. Today all this has changed. And the chief reason for the change is the fact that in 1914 European diplomats frankly did not consider the State De- partment worth consulting. To them the United States played no important part in international affairs. (Copyright, 1929.) .. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.

By the Assoclated Press. OMMEN, Holland, Aug. 3.—Members of the Order of the Star in the East, who have been attending an inter- national congress in a little city of tents among the pines of the Castle Eerde estate, were taken completely by surprise today when their leader, Jiddu Krishnamurti, young Brahmin, an- nounced dissolution of the order. Krishnamurtl, who a year ago identi- fied himself with Buddha and Jesus Christ as world _teachers, d been hailed by some who sat at his feet as divinely "inspired although others did not agree. In explaining his action today, he said that the order had been preparing for him 18 years and yet its members were not willing to face the truth. “What then is the use of the organiza- tion?” he asked. He declared that his only work was to make men free and that no organiaztion was needed for that. “The truth needs no disciples. It wants nothing from any man. Only a few wil understand and they need no organization.” RALEIGH, RECALLED, LAST U. S. WARSHIP IN EUROPE Department Has No Plans for Sending Naval Craft to Take Cruiser’s Place.
