ANNUAL CONVENTION OFVAYIIEV.CT.U, HELD IN THIS CITY

HAYES, MEYER, SEE RETURNING PROSPERITY IN COTTON PRICE INCREASE; SOUTH HELPED

The Wayne County Women's Temperance union met In annual session Wednesday at the Parish house of St. Paul's Episcopal church.

Addresses by several prominent per

sons, reading of reports from various unions and branches of the county organization, reading of minutes, election of officers, and appointment of several committees were included in the day's program.

Mrs. S. Edgar Nicholson, speaker at the morning session, talked on disarmament. She stressed the need of disarmament and quoting excerpts from Gen. John J. Pershing, Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, Herbert Hoover, prominent military men of England and distinguished clergymen of this country, illustrated the strong sentiment in favor of and advocating disarmament. Outlining some of the steps which already have been taken toward disarmament, the speaker warned that all action toward it should be gradual and not precipitate. Urges Open Conclave. "The disarmament conference to be held in Washington should not be held

behind closed doors,'" Mrs. Nicholson stated. The United States, she said, should- at least undergo limited disarmament, even though the other nations of the world hesitate to do so. Officers elected for the county are: Mrs. Sophia B. Huff, of Fountain City, president;- Mrs. Mary Austin, vicepresident; Mrs. Ella Wolfard, corresponding secretary; Mrs. S.W. Hodgin, recording secretary; Mrs. Charles Roland, treasurer; and Mrs. Rebecca Davis, flower misr.ion. Chaffee Speaks. "Our Civic Responsibilities" was the subject of an address delivered at th afternoon session by Frank P.

Chaffee, secretary-manager of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. In his address he claimed that the most fundamental problem to be solved by the men and women of the future is the proper use of the ballo.t He appealed to the women to create such public sentiment against the voting slacker that they would be l(tked upon with the same scorn that the military slackers were looked .upon who refused the call of their country in the recent great war. He claimed that the women in assuming the privilege of the franchise also assumed grave responsibilities.

He stated that women couia oe a

They believe the era of expansion will reach as far upward as the recent depression reached downward, and that the volume if not the suddenness of the coming prosperity will be equal to that of the recent slump. , . On the same day as Mr.Hayes speech, the head of the' War Financers corporation, Eugene Meyer, Jr., gave

out4 statement which although more cautious than Mr. Hayes, pointed in the same direction. He said that the recent rise in the price of cotton has added something over three hundred million dollars to the "going value" of

The origin of the outbreak is unknown. According to Fire Chief Barnet today, a blaze was discovered in the "Fun House" about midnight. This was extinguished without the aid of the fire department Two hours later there was a fresh outbreak. By this time the roof and upper section of the "Funhouse" was a mass of flames and lighted the surroundings for

miles. Thousands of visitors and residents hurried from their homes and hotels in the belief that the central section of Atlantic City was in flames. It was not until well after 3 o'clock that the firemen finally succeeded in getting the blaze under control.

are most directly concerned witn bringing about the "return to normalcy" in a business sense. Undoubtedly, the operations of the War Finance corporation have been

the largest immediate force in what

has happened in the south. But without denying the almost surely correct theory that the country has passed the worst, it will be useful to analyze exactly what has happened. Such an analysis, while not destroying hopes in reason, may help to save us from flying into an excess of optimism only less harmful than the ex

cess of pessimism of the past year and

a half. ' Crop Report Raises Cotton

In the first place one large factor in the increased price of cotton is admittedly the government crop report

which showed an expectation of a trifle less than half the normal crop. However, such a report may have

The chief difficulty outside the power of the American government to

remedy is the paralysis of the buying power of Europe, and even that has undoubtedly passed the worst. As Mr. Hayes said with not unreasonable cheerfulness in concluding his speech "prosperity is coming. It is time to go out and meet it." (Copyright 1921 by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)

rush for the spot and Chief Krause emerged with his men right behind him. They shook the embers from their shoulders and went back to work. The second accident resulted when the flames had been almost subdued. Another section of the building fell in catching a fireman said to be William Pearce and Fireman Johnny Brown, in the crash. Brown's condition is reported grave at the city hospital.

Taona and Arica, now under the administration of Chile, be placed on the agenda of the assembly. The discussion was put over until a later day on the suggestion of the new president of the assembly, H. A. Van Karnebeek, the Dutch foreign minister. When today's session opened Augustin Edwards, head of "the Chilean

delegation, took the floor and declared that the request of Boliva ought to be rejected without debate. In an ardent, eloquent speech Senor Edwards defined Chile's position as uncompromising on this question. He recalled that

the President of Bolivia had declared he would respect the treaty of 1904

between Chile and Bolivia, revision of which Bolivia has asked the assembly to take under consideration. Edwards Defends Treaty. The incompetence of the league to revise the treaty of 1904 was the principal argument of Senor Edwards' speech. He declared the covenant of the League of Nations provides for the revision of inapplicable treaties only. "Can any one pretent that this treaty under which we have lived in peace for seventeen years, is inapplicable?" he asked.

Bolivia has indicated she would request that the league refer to a commission the question as to whether it was competent to revise the treaty between Bolivia and Chile relative to Tacna and Arica. After last night's

conference Senor Aranayo said that the president of the assembly had re-

of the league made an effort to have Bolivia consent to an indefinite post

ponement, but he failed of success and !

renewed endeavors by Sir Robert Cecil, representing South Africa, at the meeting of the assembly were also fruitless. It was reported in French circles that Bolivia had agreed not to bring the question before this meeting of the assembly. This has been denied by Senor Aramayo who is said to be determined to bring the matter to an issue although feeling there is little chance of success. Today's meeting therefore opened with considerable anxiety over the matter and the proposal to take up the next order of business, was, said to

depend upon last minute attempts to

compromise the differences between the two South American republics.

Agustin Edwards, head of the Chil

ean delegation took the floor when today's meeting opened. He declared Chile opposed the proposition that the

assembly should take into considera

tion a revision of the treaty of 1904 between that country and Bolivia, pleading that the league was incompetent to do this work.

MAINTAIN HEAVY FIRE ON SPANISH TROOPS ' ADVANCING ON REBELS

(By Associated Press) MELILLA, Morocco, Sept. 7. Rebel tribesmen occupying advanced posts before this city maintained a heavy fire on the Spanish troops yesterday. Spanish airplanes bombed enemy positions and inflicted heavy damage. Reports from Alhucemas, west of here, state that city is quiet. Abd El Krin, commander of the tribesmen, has established . customs barriers in the region under his control, and is imposing taxes on natives for merchandise exported or imported. Spanish soldiers who have been taken prisoner by the enemy are said to be receiving good treatment.

PERSHING, GOMPERS CLASH AT BANQUET WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. General Pershing and Samuel Gompers had a tilt last night at a dinner given at the close of the exercises here celebrating Lafayette-Marne day. At least official Washington regarded it as a clash over the question of whether labor won the war. Mr. Gompers had spoken on the after dinner program and while he did not assert that labor won the war, he told of the record of the American Federation of Labor during the war, and said that previously to the entry

of the United States, its sympathy was with the cause of the allies. General Pershing, however, apparently regarded Mr. Gompers's remarks as a claim that labor had won the war.

Wayne Council Waits on Plans for Hospital No action in providing for an ap

ROUND UP THE FORCES FOR CONCERTED DRIVE AGAINST BOOTLEGGERS

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Sept. 7 Toy A. Hanes, federal prohibition commissioner, was here today for a conference with local

enforcement officials at which plans for reorganization of the New York bureau and a concerted drive against bootleggers were to be discussed. Particular attention was to be given it was understood to ways and means of breaking up liquor smuggling by water which is declared to be the greatest source of trouble to the forces operating in and about New York. A roundup of alleged smugglers,

heralded with the arrival here recently of a "flying squadron" from Washington headed by S. C. Yellowley, was inaugurated last night with the arrest at an uptown hotel of a man who gave the name of John Walton. He is alleged to have contracted to de

liver to a federal agent a large quantity of liquor from a vessel off Asbury Park, N. J. Further arrests were promised. f Fifteen thousand cases 6f whisky, valued at $1,000,000 were seized at North river piers yesterday. Most of the liquor is said to have been obtained from Kentucky warehouses and distillers through use of forged permits.

The remaining indictments against them were nolle pressed yesterday because they no longer live, having fallen from gunshot wounds a little more than a month ago on the McDowell county courthouse steps at Welch, as they prepared to enter the courtroom where Hatfield, with several others, was to stand trial on a charge of having fired into the little settlement of Modawk several months before. In

connection with their deaths three men, including C. E. Lively, principal witness for the prosecution in the first Matewan case were arrested and held in $10,000 bail each. v Principal Defendants.

Hatfield was a former police chief at Matewan and Chambers a 20-year old resident of the town. Both were principal defendants of which there were originally 24, in the first trial which continued from the latter part of January until late in March, and resulted in acquittal. The cases against several of the defendants wera dismissed during its course, however, on account of insufficient evidence. The charge was in connection with the death of Albert C. Felts, leader of the slain nrivate detectives.

Today 14 men went on trial on an

Expect Jury Soon Attorneys for prosecution and defense predicted that a jury 60on would be obtained. They based their predition on the enactment of a state law by the last legislature which provides that veniremen may be called from one county for jury duty in another. During the first trial more than 700 Mingo county men were examined before a jury was empanelled. Fifty veniremen from Pocahontas county were on hand for examination when court convened this morning.
