SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Sept. S.The
army transport Buford will sail late to
day to gather up Americans In rTerll on
the west coast of Mexico. The vessel will
be In charge of Charles Jenklnson, spe
cial representative of the State depart
ment. It will fly the red cross flair, oa
It Is believed the ship will bo better able
to perform Its relief work under that
banner owing to the present temper of
Mexicans, than under the American flag.
The Buford, it is thought, will bring
back between 00 and 1,000 Americana
who desire to leave Mexico and probably
a second trip will have to be made to
accommodate all who wish to get away.
Jenklnson arrived trum AVashlngtou
last Friday and has been busy with the
task of loading the Buford with medi
cines and stores and of arranging for the
embarking of hospital men and nurses
and soldier guards. The trip Is expected
to last from four to six weeks. The first
stop will be made at Manzanlllo, Septem
ber 15.
Prepared lor Krerythliir.
"We ore going prepared for everything,
Including epidemics," said Jenklnson to
day. "Major William F. Lewis of the
medical corps, a sergeant and three hos
pital corps privates and three women
nurses of the army nurse corps will bo
Aboard. There also will be Red Cross
nurses from the San Francisco chapter,
a doctor from jthe health and marine
hospital service and Mrs. Jenklnson, who
will assist me In the Red Cross work.
Besides being a special representative of
the State department. I am also a spe
cial American representative of the Red
Cross society."
For several years Jenklnson was in
Mexico attached to the American em
bassy. H has recently made two trips
Jto Mexico to bring back- refugees,--land

"President Wilson," he sold, "intends
that all Americans shall leave Mexico and
having warned Americans to leave thero
is nothing for the government to do but
provide transportation for -them to their
homes in the State s.
r'Of the 10,000 Americans in Mexico when
Picsldcnt Wilson Issued his warning,
there probably will be less than 1,000 by
the time the Buford returns to this port."

Moved House from
Lot Without Owner
Being Told of It
When a volco over the telephone in-!
quired yesterday of Bllery H. Wester-J
field, the lawyer, if ho know that a house'
In South Omaha owned by his brother,
John M. Wcstcrflcld, was being moved
away from Its location, a surprised and
emphatic "no," was tho answer, and an
Injunction suit against John Dovlne,
South Omaha flro and pollco commis
sioner, was the result
In addition to Devlne, a firm of house
movers Is made defendants. A restrain-;
ing order signed by Judge English for
bids the moving of tho house any further
(pending the hearing, whldn Is set for
September 11. Mr. AVcstcrflold also asks
the court to compel tho defendants to
put the liouso back on Its foundation.
It has been moved about three blocks.
The house movers told Mr. Wester
flcld they had been hired to move the
building to another lot by Dovlne, who
formerly was building inspector in South
Omaha, but was elected fire and police
commissioner at tho last city election.
Under tho city's churter tho offlco of
building Inspector became vacant when
Devlne accepted an elective office, but no
successor to him has been appointed.
According to Mr. Wcstcrflcld, one year
and a half ago Dovlne, who was then
building Inspector, gave notice that re
pairs must bo made on the house or it
would be condemned, and that lie, being
a building contractor, would ' like ' to
make the repairs. Mr. Westerficld sent
Devlnq's estimate of the cost to his
brother in California who thought tho
proposed chargea, which amounted to
"severalinlhdrtfd-dollarsr ro'hTgTiT and
the matter was dropped.
Recently Devlno inquired of Mr. West
erfleld about the contract to repair the
house.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Grcod of coal
operators us wen as tne miners Bishop
J. P. Donahue of the Catholic church
told tho scnato investigating committee
Mas the fundamental cause of tho .West
Virginia strike. Exorbitant prices In
company stores, rrom 15 to 13 per cont
above the market, he gavo as an Instance
of the nttltudi) of the operators.
The bishop was on a commission which
Investigated condition; on Paint and
Cabin creeks. Ho was agreeably sur
prised by the living ' conditions of the
miners.
"Of course we found no Turkish rugs,
but we did find fairly comfortable work
ing mon's homes," said the prelate.
"Were the mon contented?" asked Sen
ator Kenyon.
"I can best answer In the words of
Witness Griffith, who said the men would
not be satisfied until they owned tho
mines."
Coming to the cause of the strike the
bishop qlloted a line from tho Psalms,
"The rich man flaunts his wealth and
sets the poor men on fire," and declared
It upplled to the situation In West Vir
ginia. He added that Infidelity had been
taught to the miners; that they had been
taught that tho saying "poor wo have
with us always" was a farce, and that
the miners had just as much a right to
automobiles and to live In Kanawha
street as the coal operators.
flucstlon by Tlomh.
Senator Borah contended that If labor
ing men were not ambitious they would
become industrial slaves.
"Ah, but not so, If property owners
are not filled with greed," returned the
bishop. "I believe men should hold prop
erty, not as their own, but as trustees
for others, and that trusteeship should
be shown by acts."
Senator Martin asked Blahop Donahue
If labor unions were not organized In his
opinion for the, good, of thq members,

was repeated, then said:
"That may bo one reason, another Is to
furnish fat salaries to officials."
"Did you ever hear of an official that
was worth 120,000 T" demanded Attorney
Steadman for tho United Mine workers.
"I did not speak of accumulation; I
referred to salaries," returned tho bishop
calmly.
Attorney Monnctt, also for the miners,
asked f the bishop thought gatllng guns,
armored cars and bloodhounds were some
of tho things that set tho soul of the
miners on fire. The bishop responded
that he considered the use of those
weapons best governed by tho common
law, which allowed the use of the guns
when user was "backed to the wall."
Not Airent of Operators.
The bishop denied having come to
Washington at tho request of tho coal
mine operators to protest against former
Immigration Commissioner O'Keefe stop
ping Immigrants going to West Virginia
mines because the mines were not union
ized. The bishop declared he came on
his own volition. He said the immigrants,
were possibly Catholics, but "they were
not working at It hard."
"Well, they pay up and (hat is what
you want." suggested the attorney.
"Oh, no; paying money dors not make a
man religious. He must go to church
and live his religion. Take away a man's
religion and you make him little more
than an animal. Get rid of some of thesd
horrible Ideal of Infidelity and doubt and
get them worked out of the miners'
minds, much us you work out beer at
Carlsbad, and nurture a wholesome re
ligious view of life, and conditions will
b better."
Bishop denied that .either Individually
or-officially ho was interested In West
Virgin a coal land nor nilnos.
Bishop Proposes lleiueily.
SenatorMarttne asked the bishop what
he would do to remedy conditions, if he
had the power.
"First of all, I would require both
operators and miners to go to church
twice every Sunday," said the bishop. "I
would give each a blblo as a steering
chart and then give them about eight
beatitudes and make them hang two oi
three In their bedrooms, such as "Blessed
ore the poor in splrtt,' and 'Blessed are
the meek.' These would cause them to
forget to 'use the machine guns.

Some rain fell In parts of Nebraska
Sunday night, but m no wise was It gen
eral, according to tho reports to the rail
roads. At Clay Center,out In Burlington
territory, there was an Inch of precipi
tation. Across the country from Btroms
burg there was about one-half Inch, with
the same amount in the vicinity of Edgar
and one-fourth Inch at Hotdrege. A
light shower fell In Omaha yestorday
morning.
Over the Union Pacific and Northwest
ern there wcro light' and scattered,
showers.
Railroad men who study th crop sit
uation say that It is nbw too late for
rain to be of any benefit to corn, but add
that a heavy downpour would revive the
pastures and put the ground In condition
for plowing for fall wheat.
With tho railroads the Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri and western Iowa crop con
ditions continue to grow worse, Instead
of Improve, so far as corn Is concerned.
All over the territory In the central west
say the railroad crop experts, last Veek
was hpt and dry, destroying all hopo of
an average corn crop.
Corn Crop a Failure,
Superintendent Allen of tho Burlington,
who has kopt in close touch with the
condition of the corn crop, sees practically
a failure of the crop in Nebraska. In his
soil and crop report for last week, Just
Issued, he puts the corn yield In Ne
braska the lowest in years. Throughout
the Omaha district, which Includes the
country north of tho Platte, river, he es
timates tho yield at 68 per cent of the
normal; over the Lincoln division, K9; the
Wymore, 30, and the McCook division, 10
per cent.
The weather has seriously affected the
potato crop and now the yield is placed
at about one-half of the normal. PaBturos
continue to dry up and In many localities
feed for animals is becoming scarce.

MOVEMENT FOR UNION
CHURCH AT ISABEL, S. D.
ISABKL, a D., Sept I. (Special.) A
movement Is under way In Isabel for a
union of the. various Protestant churches
In the town, with one pastor at the head
of the united church. The promoters
argue that by combining tho churches
and engaging a pastor at a mueh more
liberal salary than could bo paid by any
one denomination If each of the several
churches continue under existing circum
stances, a much more efficient man could
be procured, who, as the Isabel News, In
advocating the proposition, states ''could
devote his whole time to the business of
saving souls and the uplifting of the com
munity morals where they need a boost."
The proposed arrangement Is meeting
with some opposition among members of
the different denominations, who see ob
stacles In the way In the matter of har
monising questions of doctrine, but the
promoters Insist this should be no bar to
the organlxatlon of a union church.
