TERMS REACHED IN STRIKE OF BRITISH MINERS Government Reported to Have Gained Point in Settlement. PLANS SLIDING SCALE LONDON, Oct. 28—The coal strike lias been definitely settled, it was of- j ficially announced this afternoon. The ( official announcement was made sub- i sequent to a meeting of the cabinet and a conference between representatives of the government and tho striking coal j miners. A last minute hitch over terms threatened to wreck the coal peace just ns the public had begun to believe that the ■trike was rapidly nearing its end. Premier Lloyd-Gebrge and the cabinet 1 met during the morning to consider the ■situation previous to anew conference Between representatives of the government and the Federation of Miners. ■ The cause of the sudden block had j Be:; a secret, but the Daily News re- j meals that it arose over a proposal by ■he government to share with the mine owners and the workers the profits aris- ■ ing out of excess beyond the normal standard. The government puts its plan in the form of a sliding scale of excess profits. The South Wales miners, according to ‘ the Dally Express, demand the right to formulate new demands if the standard of production is exceeded during the ! provisional period prior to the estab- j llshment of anew wage board. The Welsh miners also demanded ! liberty of action to strike to enforce any demands they may make. Anonncement of the settlement followed quickly on what looked like a serious deadlock over new demands by the min-: ers. The onion demanded that provision be made for additional wage increases when production mounted. The Premier was said to demand that the government be given a written agreement that no strike should be called until a national wage commission had been appointed and had begun to function. BEGARD OUTCOME GOVERNMENT VICTORY. The Cabinet considered the situation at a forenoon session and the triangular conference was resumed after noon. The agreement announced by the miners was reached after only brief discussion. Although the settlement was looked upon as a compromise, with each side giving something to save its face, the outcome generally was regarded as a government victory. The government’s demand for increased production was put through with the creation of a national wage board with the miners pledged to observe its decision. The latter was regarded as an Insurance that coal strikes will be made more difficult in the future. Under certain conditions the executives had power to order the men back to work. The terms of the agreement, however, apparently were such as to demand a ratlfleatt. a .vote by the miners themselves. Settlement of the strli was looked upon as certain with miners and government officials agreed upon terms. The proposal will be submitted to a nation-wida referendum by the miners before becoming effective. TERMS OF STRIKE SETTLEMENT. Under its terms the miners will receive an Increase In wages of two shillings per day until Jan. 3. After that date wages will be adjusted every four weeks by a national commission to consist of representatives of miners, mine owners and the government. Adjustment of pay will follow the line of production. A permanent wage will be determined * by the commission, which is to render its report to the government before March 31. Terms of tho agreement were reported to the House of Commons by Premier Lloyd George, who, with Sir Robert Horne and Andrew Bonar Law, have been in conference with the miners and owners most of the week. Miners' officials made the first announcement of the settlement. William Bruce, member of Parliament, and Frank Bodges, secretary of the Miners’ Federation, said the proposition would be submltted’to their men with a recommendation that it be accepted. COAL CARS TO BE RELEASED TO INDIA!*A WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—About 2.000 coal cars will be released to the Middle West today, it was estimated here as a result of the Interstate Commerce Commission lifting the order which gave preference to roil movements for the Northwest via Lake Erie. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other central States should commence to get their coal supply quickly now,’ It was expected. 2JOOO COLORADO MINERS ANSWER STRIKE CALL DENVER, Col., Oct. 28.—Two thousand miners in the Northern Colorado coal responded today to a strike call in that region. Governor Shoup has ordered 250 State rangers to the scene to preserve order. In a statement issued from the Governor’s office, it was claimed the strike is a “political move” to embarrass thj executive. The statement declares the strike is illegal. Criminal prosecution of the strikers is threatened by the State Industrial Commission. Production of lignite coal in Boulder. Wold and Jefferson Counties will be reduced 75 per cent by the strike. The principal demand of tho men is recognition of the union. Says Spouse Beat Her, Then Read Scriptures Special to The Times. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. 28.

Missing Interpleader in Rail Suit Shows McCray Double Crossed His Partners

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS Warren T. McCray, Bayard Taylor and C. C. Kent combined under a contract by which they were to share equally in the proceeds to promote a railroad through Kentland. McCray induced Taylor to project part of the line without intention to build it in order to influence the voters to retain the county seat at Kentland. McCray and Taylor induced a citizen to bring a suit contesting the election when Kentland lost the county seat. McCray organized a dummy corporation and this dummy corporation took over the assets of the corporation which Taylor controlled in order to avoid certain liabilities of the Taylor corporation The McCray dummy corporation made a contract to build the railroad from which it afterward released the contractor. Eventually a railroad was built by the New York Central lines substantially according to the project in which McCray, Kent and Taylor agreed to share equally. McCray conducted negotiations with the representatives of the company that built the railroad and got an agreement with one of the railroad officials that SIO,OOO of the first subsidy money collected off his neighbors in Newton County was to go to McCray, Kent and Taylor. The New York Central refused to collect any subsidies and McCray went to New York to conduct negotiations on behalf of McCray, Kent and Taylor for the assets which the New York Central had obtained and which it was averred were the assets that Taylor had transferred from the corporation he controlled to the dummy corporation McCray had caused to be created. McCray returned from New York and advised Taylor that the New York Central would not settle and that he was “done chasing a rainbow." Taylor sued the subsidiary company of the New York Central and got a judgment which the New York Central paid. Before paying the judgment the New York Centra! filed an interpleader In the case which interpleader is missing from the flies of Jasper Circuit Court. This interpleader set up that Warren T. McCray had assigned to the New York Central his interests in the claim which he had represented to Taylor and Kent that he was trying to collect from the New York Central on behalf of himself, Kent and Taylor.

RETELLS STORY OF WHITESIDE ANDHISGRAFT Pauper Dead Scandal Dealt With in Party Booklet. “Marion County Graft,” the official publication of the Democratic committee and candidates of Marlon County, tell* the story of how a contractor, engaged by the Republican county commissioners, desecrated and defamed the bodle* of pauper dead as well as collected false cliams from the county through these commissioners. It says: Arthur C. Whiteside, who then held a contract made with the board of county commissioner* for tho burial of the pauper dead of Marion County, was held to the grand Jury on evidence rortiished by the State Board of Accounts on May 14, 1919 The examiners of the State Board of Accounts found : 1. That Whiteside buried a pet dog named “Woody” with the bodies of three babies. . 2. Buried bodies in graves ranging from eleven to eighteen inches deep and such that rodents and vermin entered and made nests In them. 3. Collected money from county for the burial of paupers whose bodies he turned over to medical lnstitu- ‘ tion* for fees. 4 Collected money from the county for the burial of persons whose relatives also paid for their burial. WHAT BOARD OF EXAMINERS SAID. Following Is a description of an investigation of the nature of tbe*e burials ns reported by the examiners of the RtaU Board of Accounts: Before this grave was opened two holes were noticed running from the surface of the ground down Into the coffin. The top and inside could easily be viewed from tha surface, and it plain to be seen that these holes run into the coffin, and It was plain to be seen that these holes had been used by vermin'. We were told by a party that they had seen ground hogs and a largo snake running Into the prave. This grave when opened showed a skeleton which had been too long for the coffin, as the feet had been jammed down into the samo, and the head had been Jammed to the left, ns It wns almost turned to the shoulder. This had evidently been a rendezvous of vermin, for to the left of the skull could be seen a nest made of weed (Continued on Page Three.)

Harvey’s G. 0. P. Cartoon Condemned by Clergymen

Special to Th# Times. NEW IOR I\, Oct. 28. —Statements condemning the blasphemous cartoon published by the National Republican, official organ >f the Republican party and by Col. George Harvey, intimate friend and advisor of Senator Harding, continue to be received at Democratic national headquarters. One from the Rev. John n.twl.uni Lathrop, D. D., Church of the Savior, Unitarian, Brooklyn, said: “The cartoon, from whatever angle it may be considered, is an extreme and offensive sacrilege to all Christianminded people. But if in the mlud* of the Republicans, it* authors and distributors. the League of Nations is comparable to the Immaculate Conception, then they have given It praise indeed. Moreover, I believe the nation will react In favor of the league when It clearly understands how low its opponents have stooped in making their attacks upon it.” i Another statement Issued by the Very Rev. Howard C. H. Robbins, D. D„ Episcopalian dean of St. John's the Divine, said: “I sympathize wnrmty with Allan A. Ryan's indignant protest sgalnst the publication of this cartoon. It is not in any way a question of politics. If. is a question of decent respect for the sensibilities of alt Christian people. Catholics and Protestants alike. I believe they will be found unanimous In condemning this profanation of things which they hold *acred.” E. P. Clark, chairman of the committee on Catholic affairs. New York State council. Knights of Columbus, addressed a letter to the "Editor Harvey’s Weekly,” which said. In part: “Suffice it to say that by dragging Into the mire of a political campaign a picture which depicts Mary, the mother of Jesus, will certainly work to the disadvantage of any luan or any set of imm who are guilty of so dastardly a crime. “It is my duty, on behalf of one hundred thousand Knights of Columbus in the State of New York, to go on record as condemning by every means In, my power the slur and the indignity upon the memory of her, whom the Christian world regards nt least in the highest degree of veneration.” Rev. Jo*hn J. Burke of Utica. N. Y., general secretary. National Catholic Welfare Council, made public the following statement :

PROVES FALSE TESTIMONY IN I ORIGINAL CASE Record That Disappeared FrGm Jasper Court Files j Interesting to Voters. SAMPLE OF ‘METHODS* j Warren T McCray, Republican candl- ; date for Governor, double-crossed his | partners, Bayard Taylor and C. A. Kent, i and assigned his Interests in the property and rights of the Chicago, Terre Haute A Southern Railroad Company to the Chicago, Indiana & Southern Rail- - road Company, leaving his partners to shift for themselves In the recovery of their interest In the partnership railway t project, according to the averments of the missing Interpleader, filed by the New York Central Railroad In the Jasper , Circuit Court. This missing interpleader is one of the most Important chapters of the case tile 1 by Bayard Taylor against the Chicago, Indiana A Southern Railroad, which later became Cause No. 22,440 in the Supreme Court of Indiana. It Is one of the documents, possession j of which caused the managers of the primary campaign of James IV. Fesler to suggest to members of the Republican State committee that Warren T. McCray should be Induced to wUndraw from the primary In which he won tho Republican nomination for Governor. As an indication of his business methods which Mr McCray now proposes to apply to the affairs of the State of Indl- * ana if elected Governor, the disclosures ; of this Interpleader are very important to the voters of Indiana. As an explanation of why the document has been removed from the files of the - Jasper Circuit Court, the text of the ’ Interpleader Is itself sufficient. This Interpleader, filed In the name of the New York Central Railroad Com- j pany by Jesse Wilson, attorney for the New York Central Railroad and later as assistant secretary of a cabinet member in the Roosevelt administration, was (Continued on I'age Four.)

“The Harvey cartoon is flippantly Irreligious and sacrilegious. Harvey’s political fanaticism has lead him to forget the ordinary reverence for the sacred nllefs of millions of American citizens,” The Very Rev. Dr. Vincent Meagher, head of the Dominion Order of the United States, said: “It is the most sickening bit of sacrilege and blacpfct'iny 1 hue* ever seen. I <!o not believe that any political organ Gabon ever descended to the depths that have been reached by the Republican managers in tho present campalgu. I would Ilka to see a reproduction of this cartoon placed In tho hands of every priest In America. Not that the t'otholtcs alone aro uffronted and humiliated by it—lt is an Insult to every Christian organization la tho world, for the faith In the Immaculate Conception Is a foundation stone in all Christian beliefs ’’ The Rev. I)r. J. G. Barry, pastor of the Episcopal church of St. Mary, the Virgin, New York City, said ho had not seen the cartoon, but had beard of it. u "If it U as described to me,” he added, "it is a blasphemous outrage. To make a scurrilous political use of the thought of the lmbiaculate conception argues the person capable of It ns being Impervious to any ronse of decency.” The Rev. John J. Wynne, one of the most eminent Catholic clergymen In the country, said: “The shameful extreme to which th“ Harding people have gone, both In Ohio and New York State, has, I nin led to believe, swung the whole decent citizenship of these two States Into the right lines with Cox. Every man and woman of Judgment will agree with Mr. Allan A. Ryan.” POLITICAL AID FOUND GUILTY Willie Carey Escapes One Charge, Caught in Another. “Guilty” and “not guilty,” such was the luck of Winto Carey, well-known police clinracter, who appeared In City Court today. Ha Is known for Ills activities in bebnlf of certain Republican candidates and Is reputed to boa great help on election day. He was acquitted of petit larceny, but was found guilty of gaming and fined $5 and costs. Fred Bonlfield wns the special Judge In the case In which "Carey was charged with having Btolen an automobile Jack from the store of J. D. Cox, 830 West Washington street. The jack was found in Carey’s automobile but Carey proved his innocence bv saying that he bought the Jack for $1.50 from a man ho did nos know in ‘‘trader's alley.” The next case in tho court wns heatd by Judge Walter Pritchard and Willie Carey was one of the nine defendants. The police had raided a craps game In a barn at 421 West I’earl street. Judge Pritchard fined each of the defendants $0 and costs and continued the charges of visiting a gambling house Indefinitely.

Ben Bosse Claims State Democratic by 25*900 or More A statement claiming Indiana by 25,000 or more and urging the necessity of getting the vote out early was mude today by Benjamin Bosse, Democratic State chairman. The statement follows: ’’Never in the history of Indiana Democracy have men and women responded so willingly arid worked so earnestly as has been done in this campaign. “There Is no question about victory for Democracy in Indiana by 25,000 or more. “The size of our victory will depend upon the work done by our workers In the precincts all over the State. “The independent voters will do their part to bring victory to our cause. “Nothing should be left undone to render every possible aslstance to get tbo Democratic vote out early. “Special attention should he given to our first voters. “The women of Indiana, voting for the first time, should be assisted by our Indiana Democratic men in a way that will proTt* our appreciation and love for our Indiana women. “Our party's strength does not consist In gold or silver, but our strength is our righteous cause—the,. League of Nations, which promises peace, prosperity and progress to the people of tho world; tbo cause that appeals to all American citizens.”

LAY PLANS TO CHALLENGE AT POLLS TUESDAY Court Decision in Registration Suit Leaves but One Remedy Open. Preparations were made by the Democratic party official* today to challenge; thousands of person* alleged to have been I Illegally registered when they appear at the polls next Tuesday as the only method le f t of preventing the unqualified elector* from vot'ng, following Superior Judge W. W. Thornton’* uphold. Ing of a demurrer to the suit for mandate to purge the registration record*. I brought by Democratic County Chairman ' Reginald Sullivan. Democratic officials regretted the ne- j cosslty for thl* action since it will cau*e 1 a delay in the voting at numerous place*, but said tbat it was the only move left j them by Republican party officials, who blocked them In court. The filing of an amended complaint | to take the place of the one thrown out i by Judge Thornton wa discussed, but It was decided that the court'* decision ws* *o sweeping that such an amended bill probahly would not correct some of the objections Cited, HTAI EVENT ISSUED BY Sn.MVAV.

' Ills statement brought an outburst of enthusiastic cheering from the crowd. Mr. Hughes said In part: “With respect to the League of Nations the issue submitted to the people in this great and solemn referendum was perfectly clear and definite, It was not whether the covenant had certain good features which Mr. Wilson insisted should htwe been accepted but whether it bad chad provisions which made it unacceptable.” KEUERS TO VALIANT GUARD. “There is still a "valiant old guard which, In spite of a complete domoustra- i tion ns to what article 10 means, and of Its antagonism to our most fundamental j principles, are determined to resist to j the last the assaults of the clearest rea- j sontng.” “But the more astute advocates of the | Democratic party are running to cover. “They are making a last effort not j to meet the Issue, but to hide defeat on that Issue by attempting to raise another. “They use harsh language, charging their opponents with falsification.” “They say that Mr. Wilson did not insist upon the agreemout without chango. “They also say- Mr. Cox is willing to accept reservations. “1 wish to examine this last stand of the opposition—first, as to Mr. Wilson’s attitude, and, second, as to that of Mr. Cox. “What is meant when It is 4 snld that Mr. Wilson did not insist or. the covenant without change? “Is/ it mennt simply that Mr. Wilson was willing to agree to reservations or interpretations which did not affect the substance or true Import of the covenant as he submitted it?
