CHINESE PEOPLE SHOW FAITH IN CONFERENCE (By Associated Press) PEKING. Aug. 30. Interest in China's participation in the conference on disarmament and far eastern ques tions to be held in Washington this autumn is evidenced by the formation of a number of associations pledged to support this country's cause at the conference. A large number of prominent Chinese have oeen enrolled in these organizations since the Peking government accepted President Harding's invitation to send a delegation to the American capitol. The constitutional party of Chekiang province has issued a call to other provinces to send representatives to Shanghai for a discussion of the Washington conference. Coal Operators Silent After Visit to M'Cray (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 30. M. L. Gould, a coal operator, headed a delegation of operators that visited the governor's office during the morning, but members of the delegation refused to comment on the purpose of their visit.

INSURGENTS

(Continued from Page One.) been made to the allied powers by the Austrian government. Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-Slovakia are said to have taken a threatening attiture as a result of the conflict in Burgenland. The frontier between Austria and Hungary has stool for nearly 1,000 years until it was changed by th'i treaty of St. Germain. Burgenland is full of ancient landmarks, great cloisters and churches and many members of the Hungarian nobility own extensive estates there. The chief value of this region to Austria is for strategic considerations. It is occupied by Austrian forces and comes within the jurisdiction of the Vienna government. The eastern frontier of Austria would be placed beyond a ridge of low mountains which can be easily defended. There are five large towns in the district, Wisselberg, Altenburg, St. Gothard and Guns, which would remain under Hungarian control, and Odenburg would become Austrian. Burgenland is noted for its vineyards, orchards and vegetable gardens, and has a considerable livestock industry. It is not a grain producing region, however, and has always drawn its bread supply from Hungary. CABINET (Continued from Page One.) mendations have followed rules of merit rigidly, and in the personnel of his own office here in Washington, he has built up, with assistant Attorney General Goff. Solicitor General Peck and with him William J. Burns, as head of the secret service, and many other appointments, a force of the highest ability, and utterly nonpolitical in character. The only important part of congress left in Washington, is the senate finance committee, holding hearings for a part of the week on the tariff and for a part of the week on taxation. The hesitating uncertainty as to whether the tariff or taxation should be disposed of first, is a reflection of of the lack of sureness of their minds, which marks the Republican leader ship in the senate and in the house. The house, especially is weak, not only in leadership, but in average personnel. There is no need before the country more important than to build up the quality of the lower house of congress in the elections of next year. (Copyright 1921 by the New York Evening Post, Inc.) MENTION (Continued from Page One.) able to secure renomination without anv considerable difficulty. Bringing in of Col. Goff's name as a possible candidate is the first men tion of any Republican opposition to Senator Elkins of West Virginia, but the movement is understood to have gained considerable headway and even to have approacnea tne point where overtures have been made to Goff. It is said that these approaches have so far been ignored by the assistant attorney general. Basis of Report The report that Mr. Daugherty in tends to retire irom the cabinet is based on the understanding that he is a man of moderate means, that he is past 60 years of age, and that the salary of a cabinet officer is too small to warrant his abandoning the practice of his profession for any considerable period of time, a condition which has deprived the government of the services of many of its most useful employes. Perfected plans for carrying into effect the agricultural relief act will be announced, within a short time, according to an announcement of the War Finance Corporation, which is authorized to administer the provi sions of the act. At the same time the corporation will outline the procedure for making applications for advances on agricultural products. In his 45 years of experience in congress "Uncle Joe" Cannon has been offered countless opportunities to "get in on a good thing," and he has consistently passed them up. He admits, however, that when he passed up one of these opportunities he made a bad "muff." He has no cause for regretting that he turned down the other "sure things" offered to him. One evening during his colthood days in congress Mr. Cannon dropped into the office of a newspaper friend. The correspondent said he would show him something interesting, went to a little box on the wall, rang a bell and then started to carry on a conversation. He told the unseen person that "Representative Cannon wants to speak to you." When he had taken his position at the box Mr. Cannon heard a sweet female voice. After chatting a minute she asked him if he would like to hear a song. Mr. Cannon said he would be charmed, and, to his great astonishment, he heard the Bong. That was Mr. Cannon's first experience with the telephone. The correspondent offered to let him in on the early sale of the telephone stock, and it is the former speaker's one regret of his business career that he treated the offer as a joke. Mr. Cannon says that when Theodore N. Vail, then employed in the department of the interior, gave up his Job to make his fortune with the telephone industry, members of congress openly charged him of being crazy.
