This was denied by Thomas Kennedy. secretary-treasurer, United Mine Workers, who said no final agreement was reached "on anything.’’ Kennedy admitted, however, that both operators and labor were willing to accept the Davis proposals of a board to register all qualified workers and seek methods of equalising work, and another board to work out plans to reduce costs of producing anthracite and getting it to the consumer. The proposed fuel and energy board to consider competitive fuel problems is favored by operators, according to Major W. w. Inglis, who said they would welcome anything to help the industry. .Major Inglis will preside as chairman of a board of conciliation which meets today to consider the request of the national labor board for an investigation of conditions leading to the present strike in the a.ithracite fields. Operators and labor leaders here were placed with reports the United Anthracite Miners union which called the strike had called a convention Thursday and would seek federal intervention. John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers president, urged bituminous mine operators to stick byprices fixed in the code at yesterday’s meeting of the national bituminous industrial board. He said price cutting would immediately affect wages and the labor union is "extremely interested” in seeking wages maintained.

He gave it to the national committee as its official poster. Done in red, white and blue, the poster depicts Miss America at the left protecting two children who are looking up to President Roosevelt, shown above the capitol. The slogan across the top "America, to our President” was coined by Mr. Christy as a toast to Mr. Roosevelt from the nation.

NEGRO FARMER | NABS CONVICT One Os Five Who Escaped From Texas Prison Tuesday Is Caught Crockett, Tex., Jan. 17. —(U.R>--J-B. French, one of five convicts who escaped from the Bastham prison farm near here yesterday, was captured early today four miles from the camp by a negro farmer in whose house he sought refuge. Gebe Wright, the negro, held the unarmed French until Sergeant Charles Flournoy and his pack ot bloodhounds from the prison farm closed in. The convict's trail was picked up by the hounds and followed for hours before French broke into the negro’s house. It was only a few i minutes afterward that Flournoy ! came to claim the prisoner. French wag sent to the pen item j tiary to serve 12 years for robbery with firearms. Manager B B. Monzingo of the farm said French was not included in the escape plot which resulted in the wounding of two guards. He said French seised the oppor-1 tunity to escape during the excite-! ment, crawled into the underbrush | and waited until things quieted , down before fleeing deeper into the I woods. He was returned to the! farm. Q_ AGREEMENT IN MILK PRICES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ! about 3.98 cents a quart. Previously, they received 4.51 cents a quart. Milk for cream purposes will bring $1,075 a hundred' pounds or 2.31 cents a quart, as I compared with 3.11 cents a quart i before the strike. Members of the arbitration board were W. D. Hunnicutt, Cleveland, for the dealers; Clifford V. Gregory, Chicago, for the dairymen, and Fred W. Sargent, Chicago, representing the mayor and the public. o MOVE TO PLACE CHECK ON POWER OF MORGENTHAU (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) counted upon to benefit the United | States in international trade. The i proposed fluctuation of the dollar j devaluation between 50 and 60 per! cent will narrow the field of stabi lization but will not fix it exactly ' at any given point. The senate committee was told ■ yesterday that exact stabilization is not wanted by President Roose- ! velt at present because it would enable other countries to fix their currencies to gain a trade advan-, tage.

111 ' IIH Th'llli I ■■«■»■■■ PERSONAL - to a lady THIS evening when your husband comes home, what would he think if you greeted him in the wedding dress you wore a good many years ago? One thing sure—he’d silently wonder how you could have seemed so lovely then in an outfit that looks so old-fashioned now. * We wonder if your husband realizes there has been as much change in furniture as in wedding dresses? (Remember what you told him the other day, “Most of the furniture in this house was bought right after we were married.”) There is no better time than now to greet him in that wedding dress—and then show him the furniture advertisements in the newspaper! Today you can read about and see pre-views of the furniture shows that will be held next month, so close at hand. And it will probably surprise you to learn he is as interested as you are. Men don’t like to go through the stores to shop. But it’s quite easy to get them to read over the advertisements in the quiet of your home. Wouldn’t today be a good time to get him to say / “yes” about that new furniture you’ve been wanting?

I this if the President has hi* lu point leeway. At th* committee meeting aeua- . tors Glass, Dem., Va,, McAdoo ' Dem., California and Gore, Dem.. Okla, raised tho Usue of conatitu- [ tionality of the President’s gold plan. It was revealed that attorney general Cummings has not present-1 ed a written opinion on this subject, tlie supposition being that he assured Mr. Roosevelt verbally that I he believed the plan to be sound legally. At McAdoo's inehtence the committee called ou COmmings for a written opinion on the legality of ■ various phase* of the bill. Secret hearings on the bill were ananged to begin today. They will i continue several days. Among wit-1 nesses expected to appear are; Adolph C. Miller, former chairman ] ot the federal reserve board and one ! of its oldest members, Eugene R. Black, present federal reserve bov- j ernor; Walter Wyatt, the board s general counsel, and Jam** Haivey i Rogers. Yale professor.

Last week i the bonds were selling at 93H and , brokers reported tliat some perI sons were selling long term Lib- ! erty bonds to purchase the four per cent corporation bonds at this comparatively low figure. Questions now pending include: 1. Shall the government be authorized to establish Federal savings and loan associations without requiring local participation? 2.

A few inches away, said the officers, was the revolver with which she was shot to death. By inference, the defense showed that it was within the realm ot possibility for Rheta to have placed the gun just above her head before she died. Defense counsel was unperturbed by newspaper reports of a "second confession” supposed to have been made by Dr. Wynekoop a few hours after her first disputed "confession” statement. “Dr. Wynekoop made-no second statement to police.” said Counsel Frank Tyrrell and his associates. "The first supposed statement will not go into evidence if we can help it.” Nearby Dr. Wynekoop today sat the Rev. John Henry Hopkins. A high church episcopal minister and long time friend of Dr. Wynekoop. He tol.i reporters he carried the religious oils for administration of the rites of the church.
