There is nothing more entertaining
than the smiling and ingratiating urbanity with which Senator Harrison rises to every opportunity to make a guerilla raid across the aisle into the Republican lines and to make a little ammunition store away in the congressional record against the time.

Next summer, when his party will be fighting to regain control of congress, once in a while something the senate is doing reaches down to some deep conviction in Senator Harrison's breast.

arises. Of course. Senator Lodge might have made a safe escape from Senator Harrison's making a Democratic issue of publicity for the coming conference by saying he could not tell yet just what degree of openness it would be possible to achieve. He could under- j take to guarantee that it would be more open than Mr. Wilson's Paris conference. Lodge Takes it Seriously. But Senator Lodge is not the kind of man who makes that kind of answer. If he were, Senator Harrison wouldn't seek so many occasions to have fun with him. Senator Lodge
made an elaborate and serious reply, and to a large extent a good reply. He said, in the first place, that the method of procedure is for the conference itself to determine after it assembles, and that it isn't courteous for the United States senate to try to forestall it.
In the second rlace, he said that a

(By Associated Press) MADRID, Sept. 3. Relatives of General Silvestre, commander of the Spanish forces which were so badly
senator defeated before Malilla late in July,
have received a communication from Moroccan tribesmen making a proposition for the General's ransom, says
a newspaper here. At the time of the Spanish defeat, dispatches from Morocco stated that when it became apparent that the Spaniards had been beaten, General Silvestre committed suicide. The Malilla correspondent of El Reraldo cables a stranger story related by a Spanish soldier who was captured by the Moors and later released. The soldier is quoted as saying that on the day he was set at Liberty, AbdEl Kdin. commander of the Moorish forces, took him through several subterranean passages and showed him
in a heavily Darrea ceu a bpamara whose face was horibly disfigured. The Moorish commander said: "This is a soldier like you but you are liberated and he is not."

Miners' Battle in West Virginia Recalls History of Wild Days Lawlessness Has Reigned in Mountainous Section for Past Century Feuds, Moonshine Liquor, Figure in Past of This Primitive Country.
(By Associated Pressl I LOGAN, W. Va., Sept. 3. The southern section of West Virginia, scene of the present conflict between miners, residents and public authorities, has been noted for its bloody conflicts, feuds and lawlessness for a century. The picturesque mountain section, comprising the counties of Wyoming, Logan. Mingo, McDowell and Boone, has been rarely without some sort of warfare or smouldering quarrel, likely at any moment to burst into the flame of rifle fire. Like Different World Hemmed in by rugged mountains, the early settlers were cut off from the outside world and succeeding generations have so maintained tq a more or less extent. Roads are few, travel is slow and tedious, and the advance of civilization has skirted this moun
tainous region until today it ha3 gained the reputation of being one of the most primitive sections east of
the Mississippi river.
From the early period when the hardy mountaineers fought the Indians until today the inhabitants have
had a tendency to take the law into
This, no doubt, has been due in part to the fact that law and order have
had a hard struggle to gain a foothold in a section sparsely settled, almost impaseable during the winter months and often almost entirely cut

It was the sort of argument that Senator Harrison 1j hin slangy way might effectively have called "old stuff." It was the familiar debating revice of stating, as your opponent's case, what really is not your opponent's case at all, and then triumphing over the man of straw. Uses Plausible Argument. Senator Lodge said: "To say that the conference shall never meet in committee; that they shall never hold conversations; that one man or on delegation shall rot talk with another man or another delegation; to say that some agreement cannot be reached without being printed verbatim in the

NINE SLIGHTLY HURT IN OHIO RAIL WRECK (By Associated Press) PITTSBURGH, Sept. 3. Nine persons were slightly injured when Pennsylvania passenger train No. 34, New York, bound for Chicago, and Cincinnati, was derailed two miles west of Coshocton. O., just before last midnight. The tender and 11 coaches left the

the Pennsylvania offices here. It was stated that the injured were removed to a Coshocton hospital but that none was seriously hurt. The train is known as the Seaboard express.
that the delegates to the disarmament
conference "shall not meet in commirtee.' He is not saying that "they shall never hold conversations." He is not raying that "one man shall not tall: with another man." He is not saying any of th" things Stnator Lodge says he is sayine. Senator Harrison is not saying those
things and nobody else is saying these things. Nobody is demanding that this disarmament conference shall be any more open, for example, than the United States senate. And in the United States senate all the things that Senator Lodge pictures as necessary are done every day. They are properly done and inevitably done. Might Adopt Senate Practice. If the disarmament conference should decide to have its session as open as those of the United States senate, they should adopt the senate procedure as their procedure. Then, that would satisfy, and more than satisfy, everybody who is arguing for
publicity, and still the conference would have, as the senate has, executive meetings which are secret; committee meetings which are secret; caucuses of half or more of the body, which are secret, and agreements between the two parties which are recret; all these things happen in the United States senate. They happen in every other body where men come together. They are proper and desirable. If any one denies that they are proper and desirable he must at least admit they ars unpreventable. Some Exreme Demands Made. There are some who demand that the sessions of the disarmament conference shall be as open as the sessions of the United States senate. There are a few who demand that (Continued on Page Nine)

were knocked from the running board while the car was traveling at a high rate of speed. The bootleggers escaped. Beyond scratches and bruises none of the prohibition agents was injured. The officers who participated in the battle are Henry J. Burris. a patrolman; Maurice Simon, a deputy sheriff, and R. H. Abel and Julius Bryan, federal prohibition agents. Burris suffered a sprained wrist and bruises on the face as a result of being knocked from the machine. The officers say they are certain the two machines were well marked by the bullets from their revolvers.
DISCIPLES CHURCH NOT TO MOVE COLLEGE
WINONA LAKE. Ind., Sept 3 Action looking to the removal of the college of missions from Butler college at Indianapolis, was deferred for one year by the international convention of Disciples of Christ here today. Final business sessions of the convention were held today. Action on report by the committee on recommendation, the delegates voted unanimously to increase the minimum pension for aged ministers and ministers' widows from $25 to 30 a month. The delegates also approved the Rev. G. L. Hoover as associate general secretary of the board of education of the church.
Last steps in preparation for the special election Tuesday, on the 13
proposed constitutional amendments to the state constitution were taken Saturday when inspectors from the 66 election boards of the county called at the office of County Clerk Linus Meredith for their supplies and final instructions. A reminder was also given that all the absent voters must have their ballots in the hands of the clerk by Monday. No applications for absent voters' blanks can be made after Saturday. All Instructors were instructed by the clerk to bring their returns to his office Tuesday night. Only two more days remain to
brush up on the state constitution and compare it with the changes proposed. The nronosed amendments, with en
explanation of each, is printed in this issue of the Palladium. Urge Consideration. Voters have been urged to give Ihese amendments consideration. Considerable publicity has been given them over the state. The chief contention over the amendments is in regard to the tax amendments. Numbers 10 and 11. Amendment Number 9, which provides for the appointment, in place of election, of the state superintendent cf public Instruction, also has drawn considerable attention. There seems to be little doubt but that some of the proposed changes are meritorious and should be adopt
ed. People interested in the amendments propose a careful study by
each voter of the amendments separately, before casting their votes Tuesday.
Carelessness Caused 547,500 Fires Last Year
Every time the minute hand passes a mark on the clock face, at least one more fire has broken out somewhere in the United States. There are 1440 minutes in each day, and an average of 1500 fires occur in that time a little more than one every minute. The loss from these fires averages $2.10 for every American man, woman and child. There is an enormous indirect loss impossible to estimate accurately. These fires, nearlv all
caused by carelessness, burn up wealth amounting to more than the combined value of all the gold, silver and copper mines and oil wells in the country. Truly useful patriotism lies in sav
ing this money for your country and yourself. The National Board of Fire Underwriters has prepared an illustrated booklet. "Safeguarding the Home Against Fire," telling in detail the causes of fires and how they may be prevented and fought. Our Washington Information Bureau will secure a free copy of this booklet for any one who fills out and mails the coupon below. Be sure to write enclose two cents in stamps for re-

3v Associated Press BARANOWITCHI, Russia, Sept. 3.
Refugees passing through this city from districts in northeastern Russia
declare that the entire lower Volga
basin, the region through which flows the Don river and the districts along
the lower courses of the Dnieper and
Bug are stricken by the scourge of
famine. In conversation with Dr. Roy Smith head of the American Red Cross medical unit here, they tell of severe drought, grain destroyed by the intense heat and of hunger, starvation and disease. During the past two months Dr. Smith has been collecting reports
from refugees and they have agreed
that the acreage cultivated this year would be smallest on record partly owing to the lack of seed, horses, im
plements and workers and partly be
cause the soviet government took the
surplus grain grown, by every farmer cultivating more than five hectares of
land.
Virtually the entire country between
the 35th meridian of Longitude and
the Ishim river, in Siberia, is suffer
ing in some degree, the refugees declare. Can't Leave Homes Behind. The soviet government issued or
ders that any person having a house should not be allowed to go to Siberia from the famine district, and it is asserted, that whole villages have been burned so that the owners of houses in them would have an excuse to leave. As a result entire villages are mi-
ed toward Poland. The government.
unable to secure food for soldiers in the famine stricken district has been obliged to move its troops to more favored localities. Two intelligent men were sent among the refugees lined up at food kitchens here and were instructed to ask every adult the name of the village whence he came and what the
food prospects were when he. left. More than 1,200 of the refugees were thus interviewed, their answers agree
ing with the exception of minor de
tails. With this information in hand Dr. Smith was able to classify the different districts, the headings for the tabulations being "very good." "good," "fair," "bad" and "very bad." Many Sections Lack Food When the work was finished it was found that the following districts were listed under "very bad:" Astrakan, Saratov, Simbirsk, Samara, Ka
zan. Ufa, the Don Cossack region, the Kubate Cossack region, Taurida,
Kherzon, Ekaterinoslav, and parts of Voronezh, Tambov, Penza and Kharkov. J - jl In the next category of "bad" were placed Orenberg, parts of Voronezh, Tambov, Penza and Kharkov, and Siberia as far east as the river Isbis. Under "fair" came Ryazon, Orel and Kursk. Tudkestan and Siberia east of the river Ishim were listed as "good," while the Dnieper valley north of Ekaterinoslav and the governments of Vitebak, Smolensk, Tver and Moscow were listed as "verygood." Tallies with Government Report This information corresponds closely with the government rating given
out some weeks ago. In this report a bumper crop was represented by
the figure 5. In it the Kiev region had a rating of 4, Moscow 32 and the Samara region 1. In addition to the failure of crops over all this vast region, the refugees say that horses and cattle are dying and that there will be little planted during the coming autumn. This will, it is declared, result next year in a worse food shortage than that which prevails at the present time. The regions stricken by the famine are those which in normal years furnish the most of Russia's food supply.
LOGAN, W. Va., Sept. 3 Preparations are being made to keep in touch with Brig. Gen. Bandholtz's headquarters at Charleston by means of wireless. The roof of a hotel here was selected on which to install radio apparatus. It also was expected that the hotel station would be used for the receipt of information from the Spruce Fort Ridge region, which now is the dividing line between state and county peace officers and volunteers and the
bands of armed men gathered In the Blair-Clothier-Jeffrey district. The soldiers were to be sent to the ridge as soon as they arrived, it was announced. ' Col. Jackson Arnold, commanding the state police, said today that the state troopers probably would be kept in Logan county for 48 hours after troops arrived. Unknown Man Dies A man whose name was not revealed, died at a hospital here dur
ing the night from wounds received
on Blair mountain yesterday, it was announced today.
According to his story as repeated
by hospital authorities, he and four
companions, members of one of the bands gathered in the Clothier district
ran into machine gun fire from the mountain top. He did not know what became of the men with him, he is reported to have said, just before he died. If the couriers and others returning to Logan from Spruce Fork Ridge knew what was happening there they did no talking unless it was to the authorities. What official statements were made added nothing to what had already been told. That firing continued here or there was all that was said. No mention was made of casualties but reports yesterday that three Logan county men had been killed at Crooked Creek
were denied by Col. W. Eubanks, West Virginia National guard, commanding
peace oincers and volunteers. Report Lacking

OFFICIALS OPTIMISTIC
(By Associated Press) CHARLESTON, W. Va., Sept 3. Federal Iroops operating out of Madison, W.

They met and disarmed some men who were holding a locomotive on the Little Coal River branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.

and Colonel Carl A. Martin has opened headquarters at Madison, In Boona county.
More troops from the west are expected during the day. Sends Out Planes General Bandholtz sent out another flight of airplanes this morning to the affected area for observation purposes. When the airmen returned they made no immediate report The remaining troops ordered into the disturbed counties of the southwestern part of the state arrived today and took up positions designed by Brigadier General H. H. Bandholtz in command of the federal soldiers. The first of the troops arrived last night at Madison, Boone county behind the lines of the armed bands further up the mountain at the Logan county line. The soldiers arrived late and did not leave the 23 cars that conveyed them to Madison. They, however, had a strong guard out Both the federal and state military
authorities believed today would see the end of the belligerancy on the Boone-Logan boundary line and the miners and others gathered there will rapidly disperse and return to their homes under the protection of the federal troops. ' Murray Optimistic. International Vice-President Phillip Murray of the United Mine Workers expressed his personal judgment in a statement last night that the presence of the federal troops will result in immediate quiet being restored. "The men will welcome the federal troops with open arms,' 'he said. District Vice-President William Petry, of Charleston said he had assurances from the men that they would not oppose the regular troops and would obey their orders and regulations. General Bardholtz did not anticipate meeting any trouble and it is not expected the two thousand troops held in reserve in any camps would be needed. There were reports early today that there was a movement toward home in progress late yesterday. It was ex
pected the federal authorities would arrive at a decision on the question of declaring some form of martial law in the counties of Kanawha. Boone, Logan and Mingo. Drastic proclamation if one is issued is not expected. Wires Down. Telephone and telegraph communication with Fayette county was interrupted early today, according to advices received at Governor Morgan's office. Inquiry at the Chesapeake & Ohio railway, Kanawha & Michigan railroad; Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone company and the American district Telephone and Telegraph company offices brought responses that all lines were down. Fayette county was included in the list of counties to be affected should martial law be proclaimed following the arrival of federal troops. There are extensive coal operations in the county. Warrants Not Served Sheriff Walker of Kanawha county, of which Charleston is a part, has not yet been able to serve warrants upon
District President Charles F. Keeney, and District Secretary Fred Mooney. of the United Mine Workers who were indicted in Mingo county for alleged connection with a shooting in that county several months ago. Neither official has been at the miners' headquarters since the sheriff received the warrants on Wednesday. It was said here that members of the organization know where they can be found and that the accused men will surrender themselves as soon as they have satisfactory assurances their lives will be protected. It is also said they want assurance they would be admitted to bail. A representative of the miners says it was believed the state would fight any movement to release the men on bonds. A change of venue from Mingo county would be asked if Keeney and Mooney are placed on trial in Mingo
county, It was said. Urge Investigation - Efforts are to be made by the United Mine Workers to have the senate committee which will meet on Sept. 19 to investigate the mining situation In Mingo county. West Pennsylvania. West Virginia, broaden the scope of its Inquiry so as to include the area now being occupied by federal troops. Phillip Murray, International vicepresident of the union, has stated he would go before the committee and
ask that it extend its investigation to Kanawha, Boone, Logan, McDowell and other counties where miners have been at odds with the coal companies. Failing In this Murray said, he would bring the situation before the miners' national convention at Indianapolis on Sept. 20. with the purpose of having it request President Harding to use his good offices to have the senate committee to broaden its inquiry or have another committee appointed.
