LOOK FOR WAR; PEACE BEFORE WORLD FRIENDS Expected To Be Topic of Bitter Controversy as London Body Meets Radicals Are Powerful. THE LEAGUE-OPPOSED

By MARY HENKE LONDON. July 30 The peace treaty and the league of nations promise to create dissension In the world conference of Friends to open In London, Aug. 12. Tho battle over the attitude to be taken by the British Friends started at the London quarterly meeting held this week. Radical members of the society who opposed the entry of the country into the war, and went to jail rather than serve In the army, aro as uncompromising In their attitude toward the acceptance of the treaty. The conservative Friends were In control at the quarterly meeting and efforts were made to unite the London body Into acceptance of the covenant of nations, as the only way of bringing Europe out of chaos. , Not for War; Now Oppose Peace. ' But efforts toward peace were as unsuccessful inside the society as they were outside. The socialists and labor members refused to be subdued, and denounced the treaty as a "foul betrayal," declared that the league of nations was prepared, by the same hands that forced the nation into war, and declared that the league of nations organization was "tuning up its little orchestra while Rome was burning." A third division of the society agreed that the league of nations was the only solution to the present international situation, but agreed on demanding that Germany and Russia be admitted Into the council of the league. No agreement was reached, although a resolution vaguely comprehensive of everybody's attitude, was adopted. From the preliminary skirmishes, it Is evident that the battle In the conference proper is going to be a hot one. Radicals Are Very Powerful. The radicals are much more powerful In the British society than they are In the American, and the British Friends are much more given to "mixing" In questions of labor and social unrest, than most members of the society are in the United States. American Friends are expected to act as moderators if the battle becomes too warm, but what they will be able to accomplish in the, way of ccmnromise is still very uncertain.. Tt Is held probable that if the young FMpnds and radicals fail to accomplish thfir aims in the conference itself. thy will enrry their fight to the Young Friends' conference at Jordana. and to the conference on social and labor problems to be held later at Oxford. Show a Sincere Welcome. The members of the English Society of Friends are showing a sincere cor diality to the American visitors, and are especially anxious that the conference will lead to better relations between the two nations. The housing congestion here has made it very difficult to place all the visitors, and Arthur J. Vail, of Philadelphia, who has been in charge of the American delegates and has had the strenuous task of finding room for all of them, has been wearing a "what am I going to do with them" expression ever since he arrived. There is almost a Richmond colony in London now, and Earlham has sent a large number of delegates. Dr. Walter Woodward and Piotessor Lindley have been seeing all the important historical places In England before the conference, and most of the other Americans are taking the opportunity to pay a visit to France and the British cities before going home. More women than men are attending the conference, from the United States. Lady Parmour Very Attentive. Lady Parmour, who is one of the influental Quakers in London, and whose husband is active in Parliament in support of the League of Nations-, has been attentive to the American delegates. Lady Parmour presided tit the London quarterly meeting, when several American Friends were present. Relief workers among the Friends who have returned recently from the continent, are pessimistic over the situation in Europe. Several declared that last year they were more optimistic regarding the establishment of lasting peace than they are now, an 1 one young Englishman who had just returned from Germany, declared that resentment over the influence of Franco in respect to the peace terms was reviving the militaristic spirit among many Germans who had previously declared themselves sick of war. Quakers Know Europe's Needs. Probably no organization knows more about the real stato of things in Europe than the Quakers, and for this reason the action toward international affairs is held to be exceptionally important at this time. Foreigners who live in Europe are pessimistic at the same time, while tho Europeans, tired out with the long war, and the after struggle with high prices and unemployment, are too apathetic to demand that they see the ideals for which they fought, put into force. DEATH OF WAITER FOLLOWS HOLD-UP OF CHICAGO TRAIN (By Associated Press CHICAGO. Aug. 10. The death early today of J. B. Todd, dining car steward from wounds inflicted by the negdo whf) last night held up the Chicago day express, a Pennsylvania train just entering Chicago from New York, spurred the efforts of police In search for the bandit. He was identified as a discharged dining car waiter on another railroad.

MANY RUNNING FOR CHANGE AT OFFICES OF J. COX, HARDING

(By AsuocTated Press) COLUMBUS. O.. Aug. 10. Ohio, the home of presidential candidates, today votes to select candidates to complete the tickets headed by Governor Cox and Senator Harding. Both tho Republican and Democratic parties are balloting in primary elections to select candidates for governor, United States senator, members of congress, chief Justice and three associate justices of tho state supreme court, and county offices. While there are contests in both parties for most of the nominations, the principal battle has been in the Republican ranks for the gubernatorial and senatorial nominations. For the farmer there are four candidates, former Mayor Harry L. Davis of Cleveland, former Congressman Ralph D. Cole of Findlay, Congressman Roscoe C. McCulloch of Canton, and David Wesley Wood of Sandusky. Five Running for Senator. For United States senator there are five candidates. The three most prominent are former Governor Frank B. Willis; Walter F. Brown of Toledo, former progressive party leader, and supreme court Justice R. M. Wanamaker of Akron. Tho other two, Macy Walcutt of Columbus and J. P. Walser of Akron, have not been active in the campaign. Mr. Willis nominated Senator Harding at the Chicago convention and Mr. Brown was one of the senator's chief floor lieutenants. State auditor A. V. Donahey of New Philadelphia, is unopposed for the Democratic nomination for governor, but for the Democratic senatorial nomination there are two candidates, W. A. Julian of Cincinnati, aad Judge A. F. O'Neil of Akron. All of the present Republican congresmen, excepting McCulloch of Canton, are seeking renomination. Only two havo opposition. They are J. G. Cooper of Youngstown, and Henry I. Emerson of Cleveland. Emerson is opposed by former United States Senator Theodore E. Burton. Two Democratic congressmen are not seeking renominatlon. They are Warren Guard of Hamilton, and Clement L. Brumbaugh of Columbus. Much Interest In Contest. Much Interest centers in the Republican contest for secretary of state, where Harvey C. Smith, the incumbent, is opposed by Harry Clay Smith, a negro publisher of Cleveland, and former Secretary Charles Q. Hlldebrant of Wilmington. Attempt was made to rule the negro man's name from the ballot on the ground that his candidacy was the result of collusion In attempt to defeat the incumbent, but the state supreme court ordered his name to go on the ballot. LITTLE FOCK, Ark.. Aug. 10. Democratic voters of Adkansas in the state wide primary today balloted on candidates for nomination for UnitedStates senator,-; governor, congress, and other minor state offices. The principal struggle is the selection of party standard bearers centered in the senatorial contest with Congress, man T. H. Caraway opposing Senator William F. Klrby, candidate for renomination. LOOK FOR PAIR AS IMPLICATED IN BABY CASEi LAWYER TELLS (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. Detectives today were searching for Joseph Damachuck, and his wife, named by counsel for Auguste Pasquale, "the crank." as the kidnapers of Blakely Coughlln. In his alleged confession, Pasquale is reported to have said that a man named "Joe" and his wife were the abductors. Benjamin F. Goodman, Pasquale's attorney, has declared he has identified "Joe" as Damachuck and that the police are "hot on his trail." Despite Pasquale's denial that he had anything to do with the kidnaping, some authorities working on the case express the opinion that he was the actual abductor. He is said to have admitted he has a wife and daughter, but has not seen them since his release from the Trenton prison several years ago. They also are being fought by the police. A deputy warden of the Trenton prison yesterday identified Pasquale as a prisoner who escaped from that institution in 1916. Can't Get Much From Him Continued questioning has failed to secure much additional information from Pasquale since he made his alleged confession last week. He still maintains the missing child is alive, notwithstanding that in some of the letters written by "the crank" to George H. Coughlln, the father, threats were made to do away with him unless his demands for ransom were met. The prisoner, according to Major Lynn G. Adams, head of the Pennsylvania state police, admits making threats, but said It was done "for effect." Major Adams declared he was convinced this part of Pasquale's confession was true. He added that he expected results within a week. In one of his letters "the crank" said ho had kidnaped a boy two years ago, adding: "They didn't come across and the kid's in a hole in the ground now, and yours is going in alongside of him if you don't come across." Placed $12,000 in Can Shortly after this letter was received Mr. Coughlin placed $12,000 under a trolley station outside of Norrlstown in response to "the crank" demand. The money disappeared, but nothing has been heard of the child's whereabouts. Pasquale is said by the authorities to have admitted he got one-third of the money, the remainder going to his pals, "Joe" and his wife. COMMITTEE OF 48 AGAIN. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Reorganization of the committee of 48 under the name of the Liberal Party was effected here Monday night at a meeting of the organizations executive committee.

MASTERS CO. IS CONSIDERED AT JEETING Tractor Motor Manufacturing Company President Presents His Proposition to Richmond. ' MAY C0MET0 CITY

Business men and representative cititens met In the high school auditorium Monday night to investigate a proposal to move the plants of tho Masters Motor corporation, traction engine manufacturers, to Richmond. The meeting was called by the industrial fund committee of the former Commercial club. D. H. Palmer, president of the motor company, gave a detailed report of the corporation and discussed the tractor business in general. The committee of five men to be appointed by Mr. Dill will have tho responsibility of examining all the statements made by the officials of the company. "It will be necessary," Mr. Dill said Tuesday, "for this committee to find out whether the statement made on Monday night that there are just five companies manufacturing traction engines is correct. Must Investigate Personnel. "T will also be necessary to inves tigate the personnel of the organiza tion and find out just what type ot men are connected with the company. It was not brought out whether Mr. Palmer was connected with the Erd Motor company before it was absorbed by the Masters corporation. "The first question asked when a company is considering moving its plant," Mr. Dill said, Tuesday, "Is, 'Why do they want to move?' "This question was answered right at the outset of Monday night's meeting. It appears that the present plant of the company occupies a city block and is hemmed in on all four sides, without any possibility of expansion. "Another very good reason for moving Is the fact that shipping facilities at the present plant are very bad. It appears that Saginaw is not on the main line of a ralroad and that the shipping must be done through two branch lines. Causes Them Much Delay. "Since the materials used by the factory are shipped largely in less than car load lots, it has caused a great deal of delay to bother with branch lines. According to statements ofthe company's officials, it has been necessary many times to . track - supplies as far as 100 -miles. "These conditions at Saginaw mako Richmond, centrally located as it Is. with splendid railroad facilities, a much ' better location for a factory than the presnt site of the Erd Motor company. "It will not be difficult, Mr. Dill said, to get a factory site for the company, in case arrangements are completed for them to move here. The company will require a site of approximately eight acres with open surrounding territory, so that it may expand. It is proposed to build the plants on the unit system with future expansion by the duplication of units. The annual capacity of the individual unit will be 12,000 to 15,000 motors. May Employ 500 Men. With an annual production of approximately 15,000 motors, Mr. Dill said, the company would employ about 500 men. In case arrangements are completed for the company to move here the next problem to come up will be the question of housing the workers. It will be up to Richmond people, Mr. Dill stated, to get behind the industrial committee and do their share to relieve that problem. In case the investigations of the committee appointed by Chairman Dill reveal a satisfactory status on the part of the company, Richmond people will be asked to show their confidence in the company by subscribing for stock. The company sets out as its reason for reincorporation the facts that it . must have a largely Increased capacity to keep abreast of the demands of Its existing customers and primarily to make possible an attractive. Investment for purchasers of the corporation's stock.. May Sell Stock Here. The company does not ask Richmond to give it a bonus, furnish a factory site, or give them a factory building. It will be necessary, however. If the company moves here, to issue $750,000 worth of stock. In that case Richmond people would be asked , to show their confidence by subscrib ing ror approximately sidu.uuu worm of stock. According to Mr. Palmer there are only five companies engaged in manufacturing tractor engines. The Erd Motor is said to be the oldest of these. The Masters Motor corporation has purchased practically all of the outstanding stock of the Erd company, with the purpose of increasing the facilities and working capital. Based Upon Physical Values. Mr. Palmer stated that the outstanding stock of the corporation is based upon physical values only properly verified by disinterested chartered accountants with no capitalization of intangible values. All of the proceeds from the sale of treasury stock are to be employed directly in the business. The Erd motor is a vertical, fourcylinder, four cycle, valve-ln-head motor for tractors and trucks. It operates with either gasoline or kerosene. It Is said that 90 per cent of those in service are operating on kerosene and are rendering a superior performance. The entire present output is absorbed by the tractor industry. The Erd company does not manufacture any parts of a tractor nor even Ignition systems. In his talk to the mass meeting Monday night, Mr. Palmer pointed out that the tractor is a staple and was in per- ( Continued on Pace Ten)

$30,000,000, AWARD TO EXPRESS FOLKS; RATE RAISE ASKED (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 10. Thirty million dollars was added to the nation's ex-j press bill. The Unitd States railwayboard awarded the 80,000 employes of the American Railway Express company an increase of 16 cents an hour. The decision is retroactive to May 1, 1920. Under the terms of the Esch-Cum-minis transportation act, the express company "will be permitted1 to raise its rate . sufficiently to meet the increased labor cost. Arguments in the rate case already have been presented before the interstate commerce commission at Washington. Today's award does not go into the question of rules and working conditions. Working Rules Later As -was the case last month, when the board granted a $600,000,000 increase to railway employes, it was announced that a decision covering new working rules would be handed down later. The express decision applies to all express employes save 2,500 shopmen, x, B Ul - cents an hour In the railway award last month. The award to expressmen is slightly better than the average increase to the railroad men, the board finding that express employes, as a class, were not so well paid as men in other lines of work. Four unions are affected by the board's decision. They are brotherhood of railway and steamship clerks, freight handlers, express station em ployes, international brotherhood ofj teamsters, chauffeurs, stable men and helpers of America. The railway express drivers, chauffeurs, conductors, local No. 720 of Chicago, order railway expressmen. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 10. Recommendation that express rates be increased $30,000,000 to absorb the wage award announced today by the railroad labor board will be filed with the interstate commerce commission f.oon, it was announced today by T. B. Harrison, general counsel for the American Railway Express company. The express company already has before the commission an application for rate increases totaling $72,000,000 to meet increased costs aside from advanced wages, and should all of its recommendations be adopted by the commi?sion express rates would be increased so as to provide a total of more than $100,000,000 added revenue annually.

REDS SULLEN AS THEY FACE ENGLISH WAR English on Their Part Not Anxious For It Would Blockade With Fleets of Warships. WAIT WARSAW'S FALL (By Associated Press) MOSCOW, Aug. 6 Russia is consldering with determination the possibility of war with England over the situation which has arisen since the Bolsheviki have begun their offensive against Warsaw . News from the Polish front is being awaited with intense interest by the people of this city. Vessels bringing Russian prisoners of war from France arrived at Odessa from Constantinople on Aug. 1. On board were a number of civilians who had been deported from France. The men had been placed on Russian transports at Marseilles, but were stopped at Constantinople and the passengers were transferred to ships under foreign flags, it being feared the Russian crews would join the soviet forces upon their arrival a Odessa. It is said that in the cargoes of some of the ships were airplanes and munitions evidently designed for General Wrangel, who is leading an offensive against the Soviet government in the Crimean region. LONDON, Aug. 10 Entry into Warsaw by soviet troops thi3 week is expected by Bolsheviki sympathizers in this city, sa s the London Times. Quot

ing a cci-respondent, who declares that immediately after Warsaw is taken a soviet government will be established there. The correspondent declares the Moscow government proposes to make its own terms with a Bolshevik Poland, and says it is not believed Nikolai Lenine, the Soviet premier, could stop the offensive, if he desired, before the Bolshevik armies enter the Polish capital, "as the soldiers have been promised the privilege of looting th3 city." Leonln Krassin and M. Kameneff, heads of the Russian Bolshevik trade commission in this city, expect they and their whole mission will be asked to leave England when the news of the fall of Warsaw is received. Negotiations at Standstill Negotiations for the resumption of trade relations between the allies and soviet Russia are at a completa standstill, and the Times declares that a blockade of Russia would make little difference at the present time. M. Krassin and M. Kameneff were Invited by Laborite members to attend yesterday's meeting at the house of commons, but they refused to do so considering it impolitic to accept the invitation. The two Russians were greatly agitated on Monday, it is declared. When they arrived in London it was said they had plenary powers, but they are obliged to refer most trivial matters to Moscow. Country Tired of War. Great Britain has been given a fev very anxious days as a result of the Polish situation. Nobody In this country wants to embark in another war. Not only has England no soldiers to send, but the whole community is tired of war and overburdened with taxation. Results of the Hythe conference aro considered as a compromise between the British and French, as all the decisions reached at recent conferences have been. Sunday's proceedings were proclaimed by the French to be a victory for the policy of Premier Millerand, but yesterday's seem to have been a success for Premier Lloyd George. The British premier apparently has two policies for dealing with the present situation. One Is to arrange terms with the Bolsheviki of Russia, and the other is to help Germany get on her feet, both policies being antagr nistic to what appears to be the French view.
