POMERENE TO
CARRY BANNER OF DEMOCRATS Looms as Nominee for Next Presidency Ohio Senator Strong as Middle Ground Leader.
Withhold Strike Action
HINGES ON FALL RAGE
Br MARK St'M.IVAX WASHINGTON', July 7. There was more than a mere exchange of pleasantries in that senate passage In which Senator Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio, was named as the possible Democratic candidate for the next presidency. In fact, If the two senators who participated, Shortridge of California, Republican, and Ashurst of Arizona, Democrat, were guileful men, you might suspect that this apparently spontaneous emergence of Pomerene's name in the course of tariff debate had been
carefully staged in advance. Such devices are not . unknown in politics. There are many senators who see much earlier than the public does the possibilities for Pomerene inherent in the present political situation, and it was inevitable that sooner or later pome way .would be found of putting Pomerene's name out as a trial balloon to see how the public reacted upon it, even Republican senators who hope that Harding will be the next president are eager to further the prpject of having one of their fellow senators get the Democratic nomination. Substantial Basis The Pomerene suggestion rests on a substantial foundation in the present lay of the cards. He is the one Dem
ocratic senator trom Ohio. He is a;
candidate for re-election this fall. If he wins and everything hangs on this of course he will leap into prestige as the man who has carried President Harding's own state against the president's own party. Thereafter the first event will be 'comparisons between Pomerene and Cox, invidious to th9 latter.
It will be said that whereas Cox

The aljutant general told a correspondent of the Associated Press that he believed the situation here was one which an energetic peace officer should be able to handle. He added that he was convinced Sheriff Logsdon had not made an effort to handle it, and would not do so. Seventy-five per cent of the popluation of Slater is composed of railroad employes and their families, General
Baupp said, and the remaining residents of the town are dependent on these families for their support. He believed the situation here so far as enforcement of law and order is concerned is parallel to that in Herrin, 111. He said the county and the town are thoroughly union in their sympathies and are not inclined to take any action in protecting strikebreakers against the union men.

(By Associated Press) ' LONDON, July 7 The provisional Irish Free State government, by its substantial victory over the 'insurgent Republican forces in Dublin, is believed to have taken a long step toward establishing itself finally and bringing peace to Ireland. The ready response to the national call to arms is regarded as encouraging and as further proof that most
Irishmen are back of the new government and opposed to the Republican extremists. Indications were not lacking, however, that Michael Collins and his colleagues will need all the support they can get to put down the remaining resistance, which, according to reports from some correspondents in Dublin, is of an important character.

Without a director there won't be much music." The presidential party left Columbus by auto at 9 a. m. on the first leg of the journey back to Washington. At noon the party will spend an hour at New Concord, where the honorary degree of doctor of laws will be conferred upon the president by Muskingum college. The procession of autos is expected to reach Uniontown, Pa., tonight, where arrangements have been made
for the Hardings to stay at the Summit House. Early Saturday they will begin the last lap of their journey back to the capital.

OPERATORS MEETING WITH UNION HEADS HOPEFUL INDICATION
fBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 7. Decision of
the anthracite coal mine operators and
union representatives to meet again today was taken as an indication at least of continued hope of reaching an
agreement through the conference called by President Harding to consider methods of securing a resumption of work in the industry. No statement was forthcoming from either side however, as to the trend of developments on adjournment of yesterday's meeting, which was said to have been without definite results. Meanwhile the bituminous strike situation, negotiations in which have been deferred until Monday is pressing itself more and more upon the attention of officials as to the matter of the public's coal supply. The chiet concern is felt over the present curtailment of shipments for the northwest, failure to receive the usual supply transported by the Great Lakes in summer, it is considered, raising the possibility of congested railroads next winter. Another area in which a pinch Is said to have developed is northern New England, which usually at this season is being supplied with a winter store of anthracite coal by coastwise shipping.

Heron Proal, founder and director of the syndicate is confined in the military prison having been arrested on charges of homicide and sedition. The charges grew, out of the killing of several soldiers" and policemen who intervened in a dispute between rival factions in the union, and party accusing Proal of misappropriating the organization's funds. The rioters were led by women radicals who are ;ald to have insulted the soldier guards and attempted to incite the syndicalists to storm the prison and free Proal.

DUBLIN IS -QUIET AGAIN (By Associated Press) DUBLIN, " July 7. Cathal Brugha, one of Eamon De Valera's chief lieutenants, died today from the wounds he received Wednesday while trying to fight his way clear at th surrender of the Republican garrisons in the Sackville street area. Cathal Brugha (Charles Burgess) was one of the most prominent of the Republican leaders who opposed the
terms of the Anglo-Irish treaty from
the start and fought against it to the
finish.
He was De Valera's minister of defense in the first Dial Eireann cabinet, directing the campaign against the British in South Ireland up to the time the truce was signed in July of last year. When the terms of the treaty, negotiated by Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins and their fellow delegates who met the British representatives in London late last year, became known, he declared his opposition to the pact and fought against it in the Dial debates and in public speeches. Opposed Treaty His address against the ratification of the pact was one of the principal features of the debate ia January last. He accused Griffith of having broken an agreement not to sign the treaty until the document was submitted to the Irish cabinet, and he gave active support to the campaign cf De Valer.i against the provisional government. He was a party to the pact between the factions under which the Juns elections were held and was re-elected to parliament as one of the panel candidates. When the dispute between the factions broke out anew Brugha sided with the insurgents and early in the operations in the Sackville street
area of Dublin he was reported to be
with De Valera in the district, helping direct the fight of the irregulars. At the end he refused to surrender and dashed out of the Granville hotel, where the Insurgents were making their final stand, in an attempt to get clear in the face of the fire of the Free State troops, only to receive mortal injuries and be taken prisoner by the national army forces. 700 Taken Prisoner Approximately 700 irregulars were taken prisoner by the national army during the struggle in Dublin, whicn was brought to a virtual close by the surrender of the remnant of the Republicans in the Sackville street area Wednesday. Dublin today showed signs of settling down again after the prolonged period of destructive hostilities in Uje heart of the city. In the week's tilities Dublin lost no less than seven of her hotels and now has twenty less hostelries than in 1914. .fbre than 200 hotel workers already have been thrown out of employment because of the burnings. . . One of the signs of the return to-
waru normal conaitions was rne removal today of the embargo which had been put upon the telephone rervice for military uses and urgent calls. Telegrams were sent from Dublin across the channel to theatrical artists that they could safely come to Ireland. The Acnach Thailteann garner committee will meet tonight to continue preparations for the great athletic festival to be held hre ln August.
