HOWAT ELECTED AS DELEGATE TO WORLD MEETING Miners Appoint Two to Congress in England—Meet Here in 1924. Alex Hownt, the imprisoned leader of “the left wing” in the United Mine Workers, was named a delegate to the world’s mining congress in England by the miners' convention here today. The convention completed its business at the morning session and adjourned to meet again in February to receive the report of the wage scale committee. At that time the convention will consider the demands the miners will make on the operators In March. William Mitch, secretary of the Indiana union district, was also chosen a del* gate. Walter Neshit, secretary of tb<Illinois district, and John Gay of lowa, were elected alternates. The delegates selected Indianapolis us the 1924 convention city just prior to adjournment. Howat is now imprisoned in a Kansas jail for defiance of the Kansas Industrial Court. He is president of the Kansas union district and also defied the union executive board when It ordered him to call off two outlaw strikes in his territory. He and Mitch will represent the halfmillion membership of the United Mine Workers at the mining congress, which is expected to consider problems of world-wide importance affecting the miners. The last congress at Geneva. Switzerland, took np proposals for nationalization of mines and considered a movement under which the coal-diggers throughout the world would stop work should another war be conceived. Only St. Louis and Indianapolis were considered for the next convention city, the vote being 850 in favor of the latter to 356 for St. Louis. Several other cities were advanced by delegates as possible meeting places. Delegates to the United Mine Workers' convention were expected to return home today after more than two weeks of stormy debate and bitter factional | wrangles. The outcome leaves President John Lewis and his administration firmly in the saddle to conduct wage negotiations with the coal operators next March. The present agreements of both the anthracite and bituminous miners expire simultaneously so rthe first time in history. Lewis told the convention the miners will retain the right to strike in an effort to resist wage reductions. He replied in this way to the proposal of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover for arbitration In case of a disagreement. Meanwhile a Bpeoial assessment of $3 a member Ib being collected from each of the half million union miners. International officers explained this is being done to replenish the treasury and is not In anticipation of a strike. KANSAS MINE STRIKE CONTINUES PITTSBURGH, Knn., Oct. s.—This was “visiting day” for Alexander Howat and August Dorchy, serving six months' sentences in the Columbus jail. Mine union lenders prepared to visit the Jail this afternoon and confer with Howat on strike matters. The strike of the 12.000 miners in the Kansas district continued today with no new developments. Neither the Kansas industrial court nor John L. Lewis, head of the taternational miners' organization have as yet made a move to end the , strike. The big test will come when ! such a move is made. The miners, their leaders state, are ready to meet this ‘■offensive'’ and are prepared to stand by Howat in a “fight to the finish” against ' both the industrial court and John L. Lewis. FIRST SIGNED STATEMENT BY FRANK FRANCIS * (Continued From Page One.) ment that he practically bad been keeping Hartman for several years and the statement that he had paid half the purchase price of Hartman’s house. He also dwelt on what he declares wns a plan to kill Rufe Page, negro politician, and on the statement that Hartman actually participated in a robbery in Louisville. Suddently he looked around him. “Wonder what would happen If I should dive through that window," he j remarked. A detective moved closer ?■> him. “No, I don't intend to get away this time," he said. “I am-cbmlng out through the front door If it takes me fifteen years.” Francis escaped shortly after his arrest during the latter part of July, but immediately was recaptured. The prisoner then went on with a discussion of his statement that Hartman had promised to get him out on bond but had failed to Cos so. “I have always stuck to Herb, but Herb hasn't stuck to me. I ain’t going to stand by him any longer.'* Francis then was called Into the private ‘ office of William De Forester, chief of detectives, and gave him additional infor- 1 mation which he desired. This informa- ! tion was referred to as a supplemental i statement, but it was not signed. It added notOlng to the story concerning Indianapolis persons. FIRST SIGNED STATEMENT YESTERDAY. Francis then was shown the notes on his conversation Sept. 23 with William H. Blodgett of the Indianapolis News and with detectives, which has been re- j ferred to repeatedly as a “confession." ; It was carefully read to him and he was! asked if be was willing to sign it. He j was told he would not be compelled to j sign anything and that unless he wished to do so of his own free will he need not | put his name on it. He consented readily j enough, however, and was sworn to the statement by a notary in the detective department. -This happened yesterday afternoon and the document constitutes the first and only authentic statement made by Francis. Before Francis was taken to detective headquarters Chief De Forester was approached on the question of whether khere ever had been an authentic confession. He at first greeted the visitor curtly, declaring the newspapers already had printed too much about the case and had "spilled the beans." After considerable argument, however, De Forester decided that in as much as the “■beans had been spilled” he might as well talk. He said there had been no signed or sworn confession and nothing but notes taken during a conversation. % said he had not consented to the being made public but that they hiA corn* from “someone higher np."

Watson Becomes Leaner of Republicans in U. S. Senate

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. Republican leadership in the Senate has undergone a change by means of a “bloodless revolution," Senators said today. Asa result. Senator Watson of Indiana stands as the actual Republican leader, whi’e Lodge, Curtis, Cummins and l'enrose play relatively minor parts. There has been no (6iange in the formal organization, which recognizes Lodge as leader, Curtis as whip and Cummins as president pro tem. Penrose remains as head of the Finance Committee. But Watson having assumed the reins for the purpose of getting action on the tax bill, is now regarded as the real chieftain. Watson’s leadership came upon him In this wise: He grew disturbed over word from tho Administration that an early adjournment of Congress for at least the opening

AMERICAN LIFE OPENS ANNUAL SESSIONHERE Convention President Reports $8,066,803,158 Insurance in Effect. The growth of the American Lifn Convention since It met In this city fourteen years ago was pointed out at the opening of the sixteenth annual meeting of the convention today at the Claypocl Hotel, by Charles G. Taylor, Jr., Richmond, Va„ the convention's president. “Fourteen years ago the second annual meeting of the American Life Convention was held in this city,’ he satd. “These fourteen years have witnessed developments that could hardly have been foreseen by those sturdy spirits who devoted their talents, more wisely than perhaps they realized, to the nurture of the then Infant organization. “Then the membership of tho convention was fortv-two companies, domiciled in nineteen States, with insurance in force of $600,000,000." He added that now the convention has a membership of 136 companies, domiciled in thirty-eight States, with insurance in force of $8,066,803,158. In touching upon the purposes of the convention he said: “Me are not held together by any hard and fast rules or agreements, but by common Interests in the advancement of onr business and its conduct upen the highest ethieal plane. Other speakers on today's program were Mayor Charles W. Jewett, who delivered an address of welcome: the secretary treasurer and cotinsel of the convention. T. W. Blackburn of Ofaaha. Neb. : Charles Jerome Edwards, Brooklyn, N. Y.; R. Stevens, Chicago, whose subject was “Thr Part-Time Agent—-His Place lu< Our Busl ness” and Francis V. Keesltng, San Fran cisco, whoso subject was “Reciprocal, and Retaliatory Laws —Why and W hen." Tho program for tomorrow consists of a number of address-s and discussions and at the closing session Friday, thf election of officers will be held, reports of committees submitted aud routine busl ness conducted.

It developed that the original conver- | sation occurred in the oflce of the board lof public safety and that Paul Burlingame, chairman of the board, had consented to release what had been purported to be a confession. In discussing Hartman's connection with the case, Chief De Forester satd he is not Interested in eny way with Indianapolis political troubles and that his business Is only that of capturing ertmi Inals and gathering evidence that would ! lead to their punishment. He said so far as ho is concerned he had nothing that would Justify action against Ilartmin. despite the statements I of Francis that Hartman was with him when he robb-d a Louisville home. Chief De Forester said he had not !>en able to determine w hat house It was Francis | said he robbed, as several houses were : robbed the same night. I Chief De Forester seemed very anxtons ito be clear of anything which would he.ve a part in an Indianapolis political i squabble and appears to be confining hi* j attention strictly to the burg.arles com- ! mitted by Francis in Louisville That he is responsible for many burglaries in that city Chief De Forester said there could be no doubt, as he had been able to verify most of the prisoner's statej ments in this respect. HARTMAN REFUSED I PLEAS OF FRANCIS. Brent C Overstreet, Louisville, an attorney, said he had been asked to look after Francis by Bass & Bass, attorneys at St. Louis, from which city Francis had come prior to his arrival in Louisville. He said Hartman came to Louisville and conferred with Francis and himself. He said Hartman promised to j take enra of the bond and the attorney fees. He said this was the only time he ever saw Hartman. He said Francis and \bls wife began to get worried when they did not hear from Hartman and asked him to do something. He said he tried | to get Hartman on the long distance telephone but did not succeed. He satd t and Francis’ wife finally came to Indianapolis to see Hartman but that he was out of town when they arrived. He said they saw Fred Hartman and that Fred said he was sore because he had received a letter from Francis demanding nvtiey. Overstreet said there was nothing said ; about spilling a story concerning Hartman if the money was not forthcoming, He said he did not know Hartman was connected with Francis in any other capacity than as an attorney at that time. Overt&reet said he knew of only SIOO Hartman had contributed for attorney's i fees. | Francis said Herbert nabtman visited j Mm In Louisville shortly after his arrest J and promised to get him out on bond, his . bond having been fixed at $5,000, and to ! pay his attorney fees. He said Hartman left and he did not hear from him. He said Brent C. Overstreet, a Louisville ! attorney, went to Indianapolis and en deavored to get some money ou* of Hart- ■ man. He said he knew ot no threat i whereby he was to Implicate Hartman if the money was not forthcoming. He said he was sore because he had always stuck ! to Hartman and Hartman had refused to i stick to him. He said Hartman had, howj ever, sent him S2OO or S3OO later on.

Is It Normal? Is It Rich? Is It Free of Waste Products? Is It Pure? How the Test May Be Made.

In justice to yourself and your loved ones you should know the truth about your blood—for who knows at what time he or she will be called upon to stand this test. Ask yourself these simple questions: Do I feel tired when I get up in the morning? Am I all fagged out at night? Is my face pale and drawn? Do I suffer with pains in my muscles and joints? Am I subject to any skin disease? Have I any pimples or boils? Nature is warning you, if your answer to any of these questions is “Yes.” Nature now needs help. She has done her best but, is failing. Listen to nature’s warning. Your blood is your fountain source of en-ergy—-therefore keep your blood rich and pure. Our greatest health asset is to have blood which is pure and clean—blood which is free of waste products.

Oct. s.—President Harding's reply to Representative Liimnr Jeffers, Alabama, and the legislative committee of the American Legion here that there was no ex-service man of the world war of outstanding qualification to be a member of the American Commission to the International disarmament conference has provoked widespread comment. it is pointed ont that the President appointed an ex-service man Secretary of the Navy and another assistant secretary.
