Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 16. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —The end ot the shopmen's strike on the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul coal road will mean a steady increase in tonnage production according to coal men here today. At present production is only 50 per cent normal despite the fact that the demand for coal in Indiana and over the country at large was full capacity at the mines. This shortage is due in Indiana’s coal fields almost entirely to a short age of cars and the strike ot shopmer is largely responsible for the car shortage. Although many cities in the state report that coal is hard to get, Terre Haute dealers are well supplied and it is known that considerable coal is being shipped out daily. The retail price here on coal requiring no freight transportation ranges from $6.25 to $6.50. This is a slight reduction from the first coal prices after the strike. U. S. To Reject Russian Plan For Negotiations By Al Bradford l nite,l Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Sept. 16.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The United States will reject the proposal of soviet Rus sia for negotiations looking to resumption of relations, it was understood here today.

SUNDAY Troops Rushed To Constantinople (Continued from page one) all damage suffered by the Turks. 4 —All parties named by the Turks as guilty of atrocities must be surrendered by the Greeks. Athens. Sept. 16—British reinforcements were landed at Constantinople today while Turkish cavalry approached to within a few miles of lhe city. Four British cruisers and eight destroyers conveyed the troops to the ancient Turkish capital which Mustapha Kemal, leader of the Nationalist forces, threatens to seize from •he allies. Two regiments and an airplane squadron of five machines comprised the reinforcements. Detachments of allied marines, attempting to land at Smyrna yesterday were prevented from so doing by Kemalist troops massed on the dock, according to advices received here today. Following this, the dispatches said, he Greek battleship Kilkos opened t bombardment on the Turkish quarter of the city which has been spared by the fire which swept other districts.' Great damage was reported done by the warship’s shells. Fresh details of the massacre in Smyrna came to light today as thousands of refugees arrived here. In ■me instance they said, the Turks were prevented from slaughtering one group of victims only by the display of a United States flag. American Consul General Horton, who arrived here, is in a state vergng a nervous collapse due to the horrors which he witnessed, including (he murder of his own chauffeur. British reinforcements were rushed 'o Constantinople following a meeting of the cabinet in London at which it was decided to have the Mediterranean fleet prevent Kemalist transports from assembling and to send fresh troops to the neutral zone to resist any advance by the Turks. Principal ships of the Mediterranean fleet including the Iron Duke, he Diligence and the Trinidad, left Smyrna and steamed to Chanak at the entrance to the Dardanelles op posite Gallipoli. The town of Chanak is being made into a virtual fortress to stem the Kemalist tide. Latest reports from Smyrna are that thousands of lives were lost in he massacre and conflagration. At least 2,500 are dead and many have been incinerated in the holocaust. The harbor of Smyrna is filled with floating corpses. Refugees reported the slaughter started when fire was set to a building in which 800 old men, women and children were hidden. As the victims ran to the street, they were shot, after which the Turkish troops began an indiscriminate massacre. The blaze was described by correspondents at the scene as "unquestionably one of the greatest fires in the history of the world.” Fear for American Students Grave fears are felt for the Greek and Armenian students from the American college which was burned. The girls range in age from 12 to 18 years and it is believed Turks kidnaped them. Miss Mills, matron, escaped. The Stars and Stripes was responsible for saving a large number of fijotn slaughter,, a^card^g tine story.' The9e Victims, numbering thousands, were t quartered in schools and public buildings and as a last resort when the Turks approached, they hoisted an American flag The Turks turned away and the refugees escaped, survivors asserted.

Second Basemen to Shine , in World Series Games Spectacular play around second base is bound to be one of the features of the coming world's series. Frankie Frisch of the Giants, Erin Ward of the Yankees and Marty McManus of the Browns are all circus performers, all flashy, speedy young players. For showy stuff, thai appeals to the gallery, a dive headlong into the dust after a drive and a snap throw to the bag, Frisch, the "Fordham flash” Is there. It is the speed of the Giant second baseman that makes his one of the best. He is a sleepy fielder, on his stomach a lot of times fighting the ball, but he gets the ball over .before the runners. Frisch is a streak on the bases where his fleetness of foot and his courageous way of sliding into the bag makes him one of the most watched base runners in the league. Ward is a reliable fielder, more W, the cold type of grace who doesn’t have to put all of tho effervescent •ffort of Frisch into his work. He can go furthed into short right after a ball than Frisch but it must be considered that Ward has a loti of the slow Ruth’s territory to cover while Frisch has a fleet fielder behind him. + + + + ** + *** + + * + * 4> WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD + While the Yanks were being tripped i up by the White Sox. the Browns downed the Red Sox and jumped up within half a game of the lead in the American league pennant race.

Meusel’s homer counted the only, run that the yanks were able to get. off Ted Blankenship and the White; Sox won, 2to 1. Ruth went hitless. One run on a homer by Harris was the only tally the Red Sox could get off Van Gilder and the Browns won] easily, 7 to 1. The Giants made it seven straight when they beat the Cubs, 7 to 6. Thei Cubs rallied in the ninth and scored five runs off Hill but the Giants had too much of an early lead. Rube Marquard held the Pirates i safe in the pinches and the Braves i wpn.the last game,of the series. 4to 1. Three home runs by Butch llpnlino gave the Phils a 10 to 9 victory over the Cards.
