BASE HOPES ON IMMUNITY FOR ' WAGE PARLEYS Attorney General’s Dictum May Make Possible Conference. NOLAN SEEKS ASSENT

To Develop Mines TERRE HAUTE. April 7. Coal fields of Indiana will be developed to an unprecedented degree when the aftermath of the mine strike is gone if coal operators carry out their present plans. It became known today that operators throughout the State are preparing to enlarge their business to increase the State's output of coal. During the last year development of mines and markets for Indiana coal has been virtually at a standstill. This is especially true since the first of the year. Operators said they were awaiting the outcome of the coal strike. These arrangements, if they carry through satisfactorily, will be a boon to the miners, union officials said. The miners in this State worked less than one-third of the time during 1921, because the mines were closed.

WASHINGTON, April 7.—Heartened by Attorney General Pangherty's assurance that participants in any joint conference designed to fix anew wage and end the coal strike would not be prosecuted, the House Labor Committee today renewed its efforts to bring together operators and striking miners. Back o. Daugherty’s statement, coupled with publicly announced willingness of the operators to negotiate separate State or district wage agreementsu, Chairman Nolan sees hope ultimately of securing assent of the operators to meet in general rather than group conferences. Every effort is being bent in that direction, although word from individual operators reaching here indicates it will be futile. \ TEMPORARY C OM MISS lON. Remedy for the “strike diseased - ’ coal industry IPs in the fcreation of a temporary Federa leommission, from which should result a permanent fact-finding commission with supervisory powers over the industry, John E.;phy, one of the miners’ leaders, testified today before the House Labor Committee. Ilrophy, who is president of district No. 2. embracing the mine region of Central Pennsylvania, said a commission would compel the reorganization of the coal industry, eliminate recurrent strikes and/be a general benefit to the public. *PUBLIC WILL END MINERS' STRIKE ’ WASHINGTON. April 7.—Public opinion will force a settlement of the coal strike as it gets the facts about the coal industry now oeing placed before the House Labor Committee, Representative Bland, Republican, Indiana, who started the Investigation through his proposed resolution, declared today. “Our purpose now is to get the facts before the public, - ’ Bland said, “following the practical* breakdown of the committee's first effort for a solution by the refusal of the operators of the central competitive fields to come to a conference here April 10. “As the conference continues I'm convinced further advances toward a settlement - will be made,” Representative Bland said. He cited the compromise offer made by President Lewis In an expression of his willingness to meet operators representing a sufficient tonnage in the central competitive fields to form a basis for a new wage scale, as the first victory which had been won by bringing leaders in the situation before the bar of public opinion. A second advance toward settlement was made, he said, when the operators were assured by a letter from Attorney General Daugherty, which was placed in the committee record that they would not be prosecuted for taking part in a wage scale conference.

SPLENDID MORALE EXISTS, SAYS GREEN A “splendid morale” exists among 600.000 striking coal miners today—the end of the first week in their suspension. Their ranks are being augmented daily by thousands of non-union men converted to the union cause, according to William K. Green, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, who is at headquarters here. “We are looking forward to the time when the operators will go into a Joint wage conference for the purpose of working out a wage scale,” said Green. “There Is not the slightest suggestion there will be a change In the situation until the conference is held and an agreement Is worked out. “It's up to the operators. The miners are simply waiting—and they'll wait from now on if necessary. They won’t •throw up the sponge’ until the mine owners fulfill the terms of their agreement and meet union representatives.” , LEWIS ENCOURAGED BY NON-UNIONISTS NEW YORK, April 7.—President John 1,. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America, declared today he is delighted over the shc-ving i'uat large numbers of non-’unlon minus in both the bituminous and anthr-.-ite regions have joined the coal strike. He described the situation es “unprecedented in American labor.” In the Southwestern Pennsylvania coal fields the miners claim that fifty per cent of the 50,000 non-union miners have quit work. “New men are joining the strike movement every day.” said President Lewis. “It is most encouraging and shows the public that the miners are Justified.” ORGANIZERS GARNER 15,000 BROWNSVILLE, Pa, April 7.—The coal strike is spreading rapidly In me non-union fields of Pennslyvania, it is reported here. National union organizers have persuaded more than 15.000 non-union workers in the heart of the unorganized coal fields to drop their picks. It is said, causing the shut down of thirty-four mines, seven of them owend by the United Sfates Steel Corporation. James Feeney, national organizer, predicted another week will see the entire roai Industry of the Conneiisville region Idle. Onl; twelve mines were operating today. “Never before have we found sentiment of unorganized workers and the public so strongly in favor of the United Mine Workers,” Feeney declared. The shirt down of the thirty four nonunion mines has already caused a 50 per cut In production, Fesney declared. The remaining twelve mines are the largest producers of the 3,000.000 tons mined monthly In the Conneiisville region. Operators, on the other hand, beyond saying they were “sitting tight,” are looking for a long struggle. One predicted the'eoal mine owners would never operate their mines with ulon me” This ofTicia! said "operators here will close their mines If the unions win the coal strike.” Ho declared that most of the mines are kwslL some employing less than 500 men afiu that th*7 do not have facilities to compare with large operators. Therefore, they cannot mine coal at union wages, lie tar. wiJ verse after Faster, most

operators agree. The miners would probably take a vacation until then anyhow, it was pointed out. After Easter, was said the operators will announce their mines have opened and all those striking can go back to work if they desire. Those failing to do this will be given the usual ten days notice and n e w men hired to take their places. DISTRICT 11 LEADERS CALLED TO TESTIFY TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 7.—Headquarters of District No. 11, United Mine (Yorkers here, today received a summons from the House Labor Committee for President John Hessler and Secretary William Mitch, to appear before the committee to testify in the probe of the mine strike causes. INSPECTION OF VARIOUS SITES FOR BIG HOME Brotherhood of American Yeomen Committeemen Favorably Impressed. Inspection trips to various sites near Indianapolis under consideration for the proposed $10,000.00 educational home of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen were made today by A. N. Farner of Grand Rapids, secretary of the children's home committee of the order, and other officials. The officials were guests of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce at luncheon at noon and immediately afterwards the party started in automobiles to Inspect the various sites. More than 150 cities throughout the United States are making efforts to obtain the home, it is said, and Mr. Farmer is making trips over the country looking them over.- Among the proposed sites near Indianapolis are one near Carmel, which was considered as a site for the Indiana State Farm, one near Oaklandon, one several miles west of the city on the Orawfordsville Road, and one near Acton. DINNER IN HONOR OF MR FARMER. Tonight a dinner in honor of Mr. Farmer will be given by the Principals' Club and the Chamber of Commerce, at which Dr. Robert J. A*ey, president of Butler College and Mrs. Marietta L. Johnson, well known ed irator, will speak. Mr, Farmer will talk on “Child Welfare." B. A. Worthington presided over the luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce and introduced Mr. Farmer, who gave a brief outline of the requirements for the home. “The home will not be an institution in the accepted sense of the word,” he said. “It will be a city within Itself for the fatherless and motherless children of our order. It will be a children's city and will contain ocnools, cottages, a bank, library etc. “We would prefer that the tract contain a share of wooded rough ground that can be used for park purposes, but we also wil! require at least 1.000 acres of ground well adapted to agriculture.” 200 SITES IN' 33 , STATES CONSIDERED. He said that a s out 200 sites in thirtythree States have been suggested to the committee in charge of the selection. Many of these, he explained, were eliminated from consideration by the fact that they were unsuited for agricultural purposes. Professor Farmer said that the home will be supported by a special monthly assessment of 10 cents on each of the 300.000 member of the order and that in addition an endowment fund will be created for the purpose. “Our Indiana officers are very enthusiastic about sites in this State," he added. “They lay great stress on the central location of Indiana, its ease of access both by railroads and automobiles and the fact that it is the center of population of the country. These facts, of course, are all of a character that can not be ignored. NO UNDESIRABLE Bl SINESS NEAR. “I believe that a tract of land of from 1,500 to 2,500 acres in size will be required. It is very desirable that the site be so located that no stores, shops or businesses of aji undesirable character or that might have a harmful influence upon the children may be located nearby.” R. L. Hills, State manager of the Yeomen. and Norman E. Farter, State president. are accompanying Mr. Farmer on the inspection trips in Indiana. He expects to leave for Decatur, Ind., Sunday to inspect a site near that city.

SHAKE-UP ROW NOW APPEARS TO BE SETTLED Harding Reported to Have Effected Amicable Adjustment. ‘A MISUNDERSTANDING’ WASHINGTON, April 7.—The row over the shake-up in the Treasury which is said to have brought Secretary Mellon to the verge of quitting the Cabinet, was settled to the satisfaction of all concerned today by President Harding, according to Administration officials. Asa result of the President's intervention, it was said the "shake-up" would become a “shake-down,” and the reorganization of the internal revenue bureau would go forward in an orderly manner. Policy, not party, would be observed, officials said, in cutting the force to the minimum of efficiency. The whole misunderstanding, it is said, arose over methods to be employed in the reorganization. Assistant Secretary Dover, vexed over conditions found in the bureau, favored a policy of cleaning out the Democrats and re placing them with Harding men. In this he was opposed by Collector of Internal Revenue Blair. Mr. Blair regarded some of the Democrats as efficient men, whom he found it hard enough to keep from taking private employment. Then came the drastic dismissal of the heads of the Bureau of EngTaving and Printing. On the heels of this came announcement that similar action would be taken tn the collector's office. Officials, high and low, were thrown into a panic. Mr. Blair feared for the demoralization of his service and went to Secretary Mellon, who issued a statement reassuring the employes. Rumors of a shake-up persisted and Mr. Mellon, much annoyed took the matter directly to the President. Asa result of that conference, the rumors of the Secretary s resignation have been set at rest and ail officials concerned are in sympathy with the reorganization program proposed by the President. Th's program, in short, is to displace undeserving and inefficient Democrats, of whom a number remain in the bureau, with deserving and efficient Republicans. Secretary Mellon, his friends say, has great confidence In Mr. Blair, with whom he came in constant contact before the appointment of Mr. Dover. They said he has been greatly annoyed by a deluge of requests from Senators and Represents; tives for Jobs, following the appointment of Mr. Dover. Rather than tolerate constant bickering. Mr. Mellon's friends say he was ready to quit the Cabinet. With the question definitely settled, Mr. Dover said he would continue the reorganization in the Internal Revenue Bureau until it worked as smoothly as the recently reorganized Customs Service. He enyihasized the fact efficient workers would be retained. Mr. Dover is understood to have a plan to decentralize the bureau in the collection of back taxes, which are nearly three yenrß behind and causing much dissatisfaction among business men. He proposed to send experts to the various internal revenue districts and there check up and adjust the matter on the ground. Other bureaus are being reached in the quiet reorganization being conducted by the Administration. The latest to be hit is the Shipping Board, where Chairman Lasker says activities are to be cut and only efficient men retained. While denying the move is political in any sense, he said Democrats naturally would be the first to go If the work did not come up to standard.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

TALE OF TWO CITIES HEARD IN DEATH OF BECK (Continued From Page One.) The military men w'il attend the inquest as witnesses. "And when the whole truth comes out, Beck's name will be cleared of the dishonor now plaeed upon him,” Major Paddock said today. It was expected that many citizens of Lawtpn would come to Oklahoma City by train for the hearing. Judge Day and his wife are to be the witnesses for the defense. Forest L. Hughes, prosecutor, remained behind locked doors today seeking to unite the tangled threads of eviden-e contradicting Day's story of the tragedy. "Hughes. 1 understand, is working on the absurd rumor that Attorney General Short of Oklahoma was a member of the party at my home, preceding the shooting," Judge Day said. "Attorney General Short was not present.” Day also denied liquor was served at his home, despite the findings of a small amount of whisky, orange juice and “brew bottles.” “We drank near-bear, that Is all," Day declared. Hughes promised many "surprises" at the inquest. He refused to reveal the nature of the evidence he claims to have found. He was open in his statement that he did not expect the coroner's Jury “to do anything.”* But I am going to be guided by the law—l reserve the right to file any charge the law and the facts warrant,” he said. “Hidden angles” in the slaying of Lieut. Col. Paul Ward Bock were probed deeper by County Attorney Hughes today. ' Hughes questioned that Judge Jean P. Day. millionaire politician, has told all the facts in his slaying of the Post aviation field commandant, because Day alleged the “flying social lion" tried to violate the Day home in attempting Mrs. Day's honor. The announcement came after Sheriff Ben Dancy declared Beck had been shot from the back, instead of accidentally from the front, as Day claimed. Lieutenant Colonel Beck's aged mother, described by Day as the “sweetest woman that ever lived,” appeared as the most tragic figure in the case. She is living ot Lawton, and has not yet been told the details of her idol son's death for fear it will prove fatal. She Relieves he died in a plane accident. John Beck, a brother, was killed in a dispute over money matters with friends, several years ago, It was disclosed. While friends of both rallied to this isupport today, club women and other prominent in Oklahoma social circles began a fight against the Oklahoma “unwritten law.” Alleged Negro Murderer Taken Ed (Goldie) Daniels, negro, 127 West SI. Joseplf street, was arrested today on a charge of iqurder. It Is alleged that on the night of April 26, 1918, Daniels shot Robert McDonald, negro, 530 Blake street, five times as a result of an argument over Daniels’ wife. McDonald lived until August, 1918. when he died in the elty hospital. Police authorities have been searching for Daniels for three and one-half years. LENTEN RECITAL PLANNED. The twenty-second Lenten recital will be given at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Illinois and New York streets at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Among those who will appear on the program are: Clarence Carson, organist; Miss Cyrilla Humes, pianist: Miss Frieda Hughes, soloist; Miss Margaret Seegmiller, violinist and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton.

The transcript of the case in the Haircock County Circuit Court holding the 1921 legislative apportionment law unconstitutional was gone over by Sumner Kenner, deputy attorney general, today preparatory to its being filed in the Indiana Supreme Court. The attorney genera! is interested in the case, although not a party to the appeal, except in an advisory way. Until and unless the Supreme Court reverses the decision of the Hancock court, no names of candidates for joint senator and representative will go on the ballot -in Hancock County for the general election. If the Supreme Court should uphold the decision of the Hancock Court and declare the apportionment law unconstitutional, a special session of the legislature might l>e required to straighten out the resulting tangle, Hancock County no whas a Senator elected two years ago. for a term of four years. In a district created by 1915 apportionment law and which was to have been superceded by the law passed by the 1921 Legislature, placing Hancock County in a newly created district. Until the decision the so called “gerrymander" of the tast session of'the Lcgis. inture, ostensibly to strengthen the Republican party control of the State Legislature will be in effect in other districts! Districts were remade contrary to the constitution it was held in the Hancock County suit, in that districts were created without, required poulation and counties were added to some districts which already had necessary number of voters.

NEW DIRECTOR OF HIGHWAYS ONE OF THREE While the Governor, the State highway, commission members, and others who have been thought to have influence, have been besieged with applications for aid by persons aspiring to succeed Lawrence Lyons, director of the State High way commission, who is expected to resign, the choice appeared today to be one of three men. One of these Is John Williams, present auditor of the romnilssb>n, whose knowl edge of the work is said to place him In a position for favorable consideration. Two other inen, however, are regarded as having chances equally us good, perhaps better than Williams by those who rlaim to be on the inside. They are Frank Rowley of Angola and M. J. Brown of Crown l’olnt. In the opinion of Lyons, n executive and an organizer who can get the work (lone is more needed for the place than merely an engineer The selection on this theory would open eligibility restrictions to permit political perferment being shown. The board is bi-partisan by law. The Governor usually chooses members from the party not in power who will accept his advice and act in harmony with him and his administration. The final choice as to who may succed Lyons, it is believed, will be determined largely by the wishes of the Governor Mr. Lyons himself, because of his influence with the Governor is expected to have some voice in the choice of his successor. WOMAN HURT BY VIOLENT WIND STORM (Continued From Face One.) horse was the property of the American Railway Express Company. Lightning struck a telephone pole at Twenty-Second and Illinois street and ripped it into shreds. The part of the pole which remained dangled dangerously from the wires. Doles at Derailing and Michigan slreets and In front of 4518 East New York street were struck by lightning and the transformers set on fire. , The fire department answered these calls. At fire headquarters. It was stated no fire calls from residences or business houses had been received. A team of mules belonging to T. F. Huffman, which became frightened at St. Clair street and the canal and ran away were found more than three miles from the place where the runaway started. They were found standing at the curb at Thirteenth street and Valley avenue. A large tree, hit by lightning, blocked traffic on the West Michigan street car line for some time when, in the course of its fell, it knocked the trolley wires down and blocked other traffic by the mafiner in which It laid across the street. Children in all grade schools of the city were kept in the buildings by the teachers and not allowed to leave until their parents had called for them or until the storm had<abates One Brightwood resident reported seven windows in his house were broken. Other persons living in the northeastern part of the city reported flooded basements and water had washed under th<* doors. \ Big Navy Advocates Win in Committee WASHINGTON, April 7.—Big Navy advocates in Congress won a stragetic victory when the House Naval Affairs Committee voted 12 to 6 against incorporating in a bill authorizing the carrying out of the provisions of the arms conference naval treaty, a provision which would have fixM the authorized strength of the United States Navy at 80,000 men for the next fiscal year. This action of the committee defeats the plans of the “small Navy” element in the Hduse to tie the personnel issue up with a measure which in effect is an endorsement of the arms conference.

HOLD HARDING IN PERSON FOR SPOILS POLICY Democratic Senators Join in Criticism of Executive. SPEECH BY HARRISON WASHINGTON, April 7.—-Democratic Senators made, Dresident Harding the target of attacks in the Senate today, when they renewed their charges that he was personally responsible sor s alleged infractions of civil service regulations in sweeping Democrats out of office and replacing them with Republicans. Caustic criticisms of the President by Senators Harrison (Miss.), Stauley (Ky.) and Caraway (Ark.) took the form of > personal denunciation of him and of "Republican spoilsmen.” PLOT TO WITHHOLD FACTS FROM PEOPLE. X Harrison charged that there was a "diabolical pl< t am! conspiracy to withhold from the American people the reasons for the setting aside of civil service regulations that Democrats might be thrown out of office and Republicans given jobs.” “The President is running true to form,” Mr. Stanley declared. “It will be recalled that when Boss Cox and his Cincinnati Republican machine was denounced by ex-President, now Chief Justice Taft, it was Warren G. Harding who went to 4h' defense of Cox and his corrupt Republican minions with a nauseating speech he traveled al! the way tn Cincinnati to deliver. It was in that speech that Warren G. Harding declared I that Boss Cox was entitled to the deference and devotion of all good Republjcans.’ It was that speech which caused Warren G. Harding to become known- as ‘Warren G. Harding, D. D.’ not, ‘Warren G. Harding’ doctor of divinity,’ but ‘Warren G. Harding, deference and devotion. Harrison demanded action on bis pending resolution calling upon the President to furnish the Senate with a list of alleged executive orders suspending civil service regulations to permit (he appointment of Republican postmasters at Marion, Ohio, the President's hone town, and elsewhere. SENATOR NEW REFLECTS VIEW. Senator Harrison referred to both Senator Moses of New Hampshire and ; Senator New of Indiana as “Republican j spoilsmen who evidently reflected in tf.e j Senate the views regarding the civil j service held at the other end of Pennsyl- I vanla avenue." “The Senator from New Hampshire took his man 'Friday,' ex-Governor Bartlett of Mi State, and had him made a civil service commissioner, and when Bartlett had been on the civil service commission long enough to learn all the ropes and to be able to advise the Administration where some evasions of the civil service regulations could lie worked, j they took hlin and made him first assistant postmaster general," Senator Harrison continued. “I had nothing to do with Governor Bartlett's appointments," said Senator New.

Legion Notes

Jobless and without money. F. W. Smith of Omaha, Neb., ex soldier and head of a family of three, grasped at the chance for “work" offered by the American Legion employment service and sold a plni of blood for $2.5. By his act. Smith saved the life of Edward Bolltz. Belgrade, Neb., farmer who hail been severely iuJ tired. Ten dollars for each month's service, with 25 per cent additional ror overseas service, is to In paid World War veterans of Maryland, under the provisions of a bill which passed the Maryland House of Delegates with only four dissenting votes. The act provides ror a $0,000,n00 bond issue, to be passed on by the people. Reorganization of war-time draft boards to assist the American Legion tn finding jobs for ex-service men has been proposed by the Rev. Dr. John Grier Hlbben, president or rnne.'ton University, Syracuse, N. Y. American ex-service men tn New Zealand and Denmark nave joined together and formed posts of the American Legion. The ex-service men's organiza tlon now lias 11,013 separate posts located in practically every civilized country. After the college trustees lufci refused their request to have College President C. D. Duniway removed from office, students at Colorado College set off a huge giant firecracker on “proxy's” lawn, burned red fuses and hauled the American flag to half mast. For the latter act they aroused the wrath of American Legion members, who demanded that the flag be rightly hung. A questionnaire "What will you do with your State bonus?" conducted by the Toledo (Ohio) American Legion, was answered by er-servlce men as follows: Sixteen would use the money to help defray the cost of a home, thirteen to pay hospital and other hills, three for : clotohlng, two for furniture, one for a Ford and seven would bank the entire amount. After being picked up by American Legion members while wearing the uniform of a Belgian aviation lieutenant. Emile Laniard, Grand Rapids, Mich., tobacco dealer, was sentenced to six months in jail by District Judge Sessions. Ills Honor then turned on court officials and took them to task for allowing Laniard to appear in court attired in his bogus regalia. When State officials of the American Legion in West Virginia heard that several ex service men's organizations were considering asking Jack Dempsey to appear before them, they issued a statement which refused sanction to any affair to which the world's boxing champion might be invited. A store for the sale of articles manufactured by the sick and wounded exsoldiers now in South Dakota hospitals has been opened by tlie- American Legion auxiliary of that State. The proceeds will bo used to buy additional comforts for the disabled veterans. Describing the Social Science Club of the University of Wisconsin as a "group of un American radicals and extremists who are Inciting unrest among the student body,” the University American Legion post has adopted a resolution asking the student senate to abolish the organization. During the last few months the American Legion at T'oledo, Ohio, has caused thirty-two persons to be put in jail for falsely collecting funds fur sick and wounded World War veterans, obtained the release from Jail of seven ex-soldiers, found jobs for 1.057 more and conducted 135 military funerals. T.arge numbers of ex-soldiers who are suffering from shell shock are looking for work in New York City. The American Legion obtained work for one but he got into such a heated argument with a man who was hiring him that the legion had to take him away and arrange for his commitment in a Government hospital. A tract of land along the Potomac River eas been turned over to the American Legion and other veterans’ organizations for use as a summer camp for the hundreds of disabled ex-service men from Maryland and West Virginia who are now confined in the four Government hospitals at Washington, D. C. News reaches some jilaces quicker than it does others. The American Legion has received a letter from a World War veteran who says, "I understand the - Government is giving us adjusted compensation with the option of taking land or money. I’ve just discovered an island in the St. Lawrence River that I want, so tell the Government I’ll take that.”
