(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Nov. 6. Results of last Tuesday's election in three of ths nation's 435 congressional districts remained undetermined today as the Cfth day of tabulating the Republican party's tremendous sweep was begun. The missing districts were the 23rd New York, eighth Minnesota, and fifth Missouri, in all of which the vote for representatives apparently will be close. The Republicans with 290 members in the House of Representatives already measured to 13S Democrats, one Socialist, one Independent, one Independent Republican, were claiming success in all three of the undetermined districts. They also were predicting upsets in the Fourth and Eighth districts. of Tennessee which had been

placed earlier in the Democratic column. Democrats Hopeless. Victories in all five of these districts would give the Republicans a total of J 29o seats and would cut the iJemocratic total to 13f, while the best possible results for the Democrats would give them i total of only 141 to 290 for the Republicans. DETROIT, Nov. 6 One seat in the renate, two sheriff's offices and seven lesser county offices were given to women in Tuesday's election in Michigan, according to alnio.t complete returns today. All the successful candidates were Republicans. Women treasurers were elected in Muskegon, Delta and Tuscola counties; Missaukee county elected a woman county clerk, and women candidates for registrar of deeds were successful in Kalamazoo and Osceola counties. In Hillsdale county a woman drain commissioner was chosen. The Grand Rapids district elected Mrs. Eva Hamilton as state senator. The women sheriffs were chosen in Benz and Roscommon counties. SNOW HINDERS REDS IN THEIR MOVEMENTS OF GANNON, SUPPLIES (By Associated Press) SIBASTOPOL, Nov. 3. Snow has been falling over the Tauridian plains, north of the slender isthmus connecting Crimea to the mainland of RusJr sia and it has tended to render high ways impassable, thus retarding the movement of Bolshevik cannon and supply trains being brought up from the Dnieper river to force a passage touth of Perekop. Soviet cavalry and infantry made rapid advances during the past week against General Baron Wrangel's anti-Bolshevik army, and drove it back to the Crimean peninsula. General Wrangel, who has been engaged in a life and death struggle against the enemy, did not seriously oppose the onrush of the Bosheviki, but daring'y cut around one Hank and fell upon their line of communications near Salkovo. In this fight manythousands of prisoners were taken by the Wrangel forces. Pay Big Prices.

r oii.jw ins int- luiai m nnr wui sheviki on Nov. 3, General Wrangel slowly withdrew his line toward the Salkovo railway, where it united with units which had been holding the sovift forces below MeHMpol. These units took from the Bolshevik twenty cannon, a larg.- number of machine guns and many prisoners. In explaining his retirement, General Wrangel said : In view of the absolute superiority of the enemy's numbers, which allowed the Bolsheviki to replace their losses, it was decided to withdraw to Crimea. Our troops are tired but their spirits are good. The retreat was conducted without pressure from the enemy." Attack Both Wings Eight divisions of infantry and General Budenny's cavalry made up the soviet army the attack of which broke the strength of Baron Wrangel's forces in Taurida. These troops, advancing from Nikopol, on October 31. attacked both wings of the anti-Bolshevik army. Ten thousand of General Budenny's men swept southward as far as Salkovo. where Gen. Wrangel's counterattack resulted in their surrender.

A flight over the Alps furnishes aviators with one of the biggest thrill3 in the game which makes it popular, of course. A forced landing, due to engine trouble or a broken wing, practically means death or serious injury, at least, to the flier, as the mountain peaks and rocky gubhes present no landing places. Fallen fliers also face death by freezing.

MINE OPERATORS MAY ANSWER WAGE DEEMND IN SECOND MEETING (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Nov. C The fate of the demand of the anthracite mine workers for wage increases equal to those recently granted th bituminous miners rested v.iih the operators today when representatives of the hard coal dippers and mine owners resumed their conference here. Before going into session the operators declined to djscuss their pans and would not indicate their probable attitude toward the miners' demands for a 13 percent increase for contract miners, and $6 minimum day labor rate and a universal 8-hour day throughout the anthracite region. Thomas Kennedy cf Hazelton, Pa., chairman of the Miners' committee, said that the miners had completed their argument "and it was not up to the operators." It was expected the operators would present their reply to the demands of the men for a wage increase equal to that recently granted the bituminous miners, a $6, minimum day and other alleged inequalities in the present scale. The miners presented their demands at a meeting with the operators here Oct. 26 and at the conference yesterday they presented further arguments in support of these demands. While no official statement was issued regarding the discussions yesterday it was learned the operators have decided upon a policy regarding the request for a reopeniner of tiie recent presidential commissions award and additional wage increases, and that they probably would present their reply to the mine workers today.

VAN NUYS AND SLACK CONFER WITH PALMER ( By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. District Attorney Van Nuys and B. Ert Slack of Indianapolis. the latter special prosecutor in the bituminous coal conspiracy cases, arrived in Washington today for conference with Attorney General Palmer. Arrangements had been made to hold the conference late today at the elepartment of justice. District Attorney Van Nuys and Mr. Slack were requested by Mr. Palmer to come to Washington after the attorney general had teen notified of tho intention of Federal Judge Anderson at Indianapolis to conduct an investigation Monday for the purpose of ascertaining whether the attorney general can make an agreement "to suppress a portion of the government's evidence," in the coal cases. Judge Anderson has requested that Mr. Palmer be present Monday when the coal cases are called. The attorney general said today he would reach no decision on that point until after his conference with District Attorney Van Nuys and Mr. Slack.

Referring to the action of the Richmond City Water Works company in petitioning the Indiana Public Service commission for an increase in rates, Howard Dill, superintendent of the company, said Thursday: "We are not asking for a re-valuation of the plant, although a re-valuation would be more than represented by the capital stock of the company, which is $S5TO,000. We are asking for an increase in rates because of the increase in expenses. "We are asking for a larger rate of depreciation and a sufficient rate or return upon our capital and stock so that we will be able to sell new stock issues in an amount sufficient to cover necessary improvements." Claim 6.31 Per Cent Mr. Dill states that, although the commission has authorized the company to receive a 6 per cent return upon its capital stock, his figures show that for the first nine months of this yenr the per cent of return upon the capital stock has been only 6.31 per cent, notwithstanding the fact that, last year the commission authorized a general seven per cent increase in rates for the company, effective Dec. 1,1919. Mr. Dill insists that eight per cent would be a fair return on the investment. Contemplate Improvements. Necessary plant improvements must be financed from time to time by stock issues, and, Mr. Dill points oui, stock bearing only six and one-half per cent return is no longer attractive when sound investments, bringing in dividenrs of seven and eight per cent, can be had. Improvements to the water works plant from Nov. 1, 1915, to Sept. 3f 1920. have cost 45,654. It is the desire of the company to issue stock to cov.r this expense. Coal and Labor High. Mr. Dill presents figures to shov? the net increase in the company's revenue from Sept., 1919, to Sept., 1320, has been 10 per cent against a net increase in expenditures of 31. per cent for the same period. The prin cipal items in the list of increased expenditures are (Of ;jcoal. and- labot. Mr. Dill states that coal prices have increased from 3.70 per ton, in June, 1918, to 7.78 in September, 1920. There has ben a 61 per cent increase in labor cost since January, 1917.

LOUIS TOWARD VACATION (Tly Associated Press) ON BOARD PRESIDENT-ELECT HARDING'S SPECIAL TRAIN. Nov. 6. Starting for a month's vacation trip to southern Texas and Panama. President-elect Harding today laid aside the last cares of the presidential campaign for an interim of real rest and recreation before he takes up seriously the responsibi'.ities of his coming administration. Although his mind already Is at work upon the preliminary details of his first administration policy, a plan for a new association of nations, Mr. Hardinp does not propose to let the task interfere with his outing. He has asked several leading statesmen to prepare their views on the subject for him. but his first conference to receive advice will not take place until after he returns to Marion about December 6. Compiles Opinion. The president-elect has made it known that a compilation of opinions cn the association of nations proposal will be his first concern, in preparing for his responsibilities at Washington, taking precedence eyea over his choice of a cabinet. Cabinet appointments he bas announced will not be given any thought at all during his vacation. Th special train carrying Senator and Mrs. Harding and their party left Marion at 7:30 this morning, bound for Point Isabel near the southern tip of the Texas coast, where the President-elect will spend twelve days bunting and fishing. After that he is to make an ocean voyage to the canal zone, and then back to a porton the middle Atlantic coast. He will speak in Bedford, Va.. cn December 5. and will go immediately from there to Marion. Goes via St.' Louis Making the trip south by way of St. Louis and San Antonio, the senator's train will reach Brownsville, Texas, Monday morning and the party will motor from there to Point Isabel, 20 miles away. Point Isabel is only six miles distant from the Mexican boundary and from the southeast tip of continental United States. Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harding on the trip were Harry M. Daugherty, manager of the Harding pre-conven-tion campaign: Senators Frelinghuysen of New Jersey. Hale of Maine, and Davis of West Virginia, and Edward B. McLean, the Washington publisher. His secretary, George B, Christian, Jr., and his family physician. Dr. C. E. Sawyer, and a group of secret service men and newspapermen also were on the special train. Secret Service Present The secret service detail, assigned to Mr. Harding as soon as he was elected to the presidency, was in charge of Miles MeCahill. formerly of the White House staff at Washington. James Sloan, a former secret service man who has acted as the senator's unofficial bodyguard during the campaign, will be retained in that capacity in co-operation with the guard detailed officially by secret service headquarters. The first crowd to greet Mr. Harding as president-elect was at Bellefontaine, O., where the train stopped to change engines, and the senalor came near being left behind whn he got down on the station platform to shake hands. The train had started away slowly, but the president-elect had to walk the ties for more than a 100 yards to get aboard. BRITISH AND FRENCH VIEWS HARMONIOUS fT.y Associated Press) PARIS. Nov. 6. Coolness between the British and French governments over their divergent views relative to German reparations was dissipated by a note from the British government delivered at the French foreign office personally by the Earl of Derby, British ambassador last, night. Premier Leygues and the ambassador will meet tonight to complete the agreement. it is said at the French foreign office that France now approves, not only of a Brussels conference of allied and German experts, but also an advisory meeting at Geneva of allied representatives which she formerly opposed. There is a possibility that Germans will participate in this meeting. It is understood the Geneva meeting whether attended by allied premiers or not may draw up a basis for final action by the reparations commission.

DEPOSITORS WORRIED BY RANK LOSSES AJIegid Bondsmen of Oscar M. Kirlin, Late Cashier oi farmers Bank at Milton, Contest Claim. FREEMANJOLDS JURY The state board of accounts has notified Prosecuting Attorney Freeman that it will not be possible at this time for the board to send any of its accountants to examine the books of Ed J. Weidner, treasurer of Wayne county, as requested by Freeman, owing to the fact that the board has practically all of its accountants engaged in the coal inquiry. The board informed the prosecutor that it would rpprove his employment of two experts to examine the books ol the county treasurer. "I have no funds available to employ accountants to examine the trea.v urers books. It is important that these books be examined if the grand jury is to make a thorough investigation of causes entering into the failure of the Farmers Bank at Milton and I am going to do all in my power to have state accountants sent here to go over the treasurer's books and, pending such an examination. I will l.een the Wayne county grand jury In session until the first of next year, if necessary," Mr. Freeman said Saturday. Prosecutor In .Milton. The prosecutor spent Friday afternoon in Milton investigating certain facts entering into the Farmers Bank failure. The grand jury has been investigating this case for some time. It has not been in session this week and will not be called into session again until next Saturday. November 26 is the last day fixed by the Wayne circuit court for the filing of claims against the Farmers Bank and bank depositors are hopeful that a refund of depositors will be made soon after that date. However, no announcement to that effect has yet been made. In fact, so far as known, it has not been determined from what pource funds will be forthcoming to make up the bank's shortage, approximately $100,000, due to the speculations and

mismanagement of the former cashier, the late Oscar M. Kirlin. Bondsmen Contest In the event Kirlin was bonded, hi bondsmen and the Kirlin estate would first be called upon to make up th shortage, but no bond has been found and. it 13 stated, the reputed bond.men are prepared to contest the claim which has been filed against them by the receiver for the bank. This claim, filed several weeks ago. remains on the claim docket. No effort has been made, apparently, to transfer it to the trial docket of the circuit court. Should there be no settlement effected by November 2! of the controversy as to whether Kirlin was or was not bonded, it is probable tht the stockholders of the bank would be directed to provide the bank's shortage for the purpose of effecting a settlement with the depositors, on the ground that whether the stockholders or the alleged bondsmen were liable the shortage was a matter entirely between the parties concerned in which the depositors were not interested. Many Hardships Illustrating the hardships which have resulted in many instances to those who had deposits in the Milton bank because withdrawals of deposits have not been permitted since the bank closed, four months ago, Milton people are teliing of the case of Worth Cross, who followed the trade of sign painter in the village. Cross had a small deposit of $92 in the bank. He was a bachelor and had no relatives. He had established a savings account so he would not be without funds in the event he became ill. A few weeks ago he became critically ill. Not being able to withdraw his savings, he had to be taken to the county infirmary, where he died several days ago. His savings will be used to meet the cost of his burial. CAMBRIDGE CITY SUED BY LOCAL COMPANY The steadily growing list of civil a" 'ions against the town of Cambridr4 City. Ind.. was increased Saturday ay the filing of the suit of the Milk-r-Kempor company, of Richmond against Cambridge City for the cr,l lection of an account of $420, said to be due for purchases of lumber, bricks and other building material. It is alleged in the complaint that the town officers of Cambridge Citv have refused to make a settlement on 'he account, although the board ol trustees has passed a resolut;on ordering the amount paid despite the fact that the town has no available funds. Many Suits Pending. Recently the Southern Surety co-.r. pany filed suit against Cambridge City for ?n injunction in connection with the transfer of certain funds. Harry Bachman also has filed suit for replevin against Cambridge City. Last summer certain Cambridge City taxpayers brought suit to prevent a settlement on a sewer contract. Th construction of the sewer in iuestion has been the cause for most of th court actions brought against thy towi. Pcstor, License Inspector, Jailed Following Shooting W'DSOR. Ont.. Nov. 6. Rev. J.
