LEADERS PLAN ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS Speed Made in Conference on Tariff, Soldier Bonus Bill, Coal Legislation and Other Measures.

WORK IS CLEARING UP

(By Associated tress)

WASHINGTON, Sept 12. Adjourn

ment of congress next week -was

planned today by leaders as a result

of the speed made in conference on the

tariff and soldiers' bonus bills, the ad

ministration coal legislation and other

measures.

A few other Important bills were on the schedule for the remainder of the session which began last December, and members of congress hoped to be

relieved next week for the fall cam

paign.

Final disposal of the tariff and bonus

bills early next week Is believed pos

sible with expectation of prompt action by President Harding on the bonus

measure. Little else remains before

the house, except conferente reports under the agreement to defer the ad

ministration's merchant marine 'legis

lation. Tariff Bill Progress The administration tariff bill as fin

ally perfected in congress was present

ed in the house today and the confer

ence on it bearing the signatures of

the Republican managers will be called

up tomorrow with the expectation that

it will be disposed of not later than

Thursday. The measure then will go

to the senate, but because of opposi

tion to the dye embargo and other provisions, action there may be delayed

a week or more.

As now framed the bill is estimated

roughly by the experts to raise approx

imately $400,000,000 in revenue on the

basis of the present value 01 uie na-

tion's import trade. The level of its

rate, according to the experts, is slightly below the level in the Payne-Aldrich bill. The bill becomes effective immediately after President Harding signs it, replacing both the Underwood and emergency tariff acts. Reduce . Tariff Rate. In re-writing the bill in conference the Republican managers reduced the wool, sugar, and dye rates. The wool rate was made 31 cents a scoured pound as against the senate rate of 33 cents and the house rate of 25 cents. The commensatory duty to manufacturers of woolen goods was cut down slightly in consequence. The ad valorem rates were unchanged however, ranging from 40 to 50 per-, cent on cloth, from 30 to 40 percent on blankets and light articles, and from 40 to 50 percent on outer wear, from 30 to 50 percent on knit underwear, and from 35 to 50 percent on hose, gloves and mittens. What line of . action senate opponents of the dye embargo would follow in their efforts to have the provision thrown out of the bill was expected

to be determined after publication of

the completed bill today. Notice that

opponents were prepared to put up a

determined fight on the senate floor

was given yesterday by Senator Moses, New Hampshire, one of the leaders

in the senate opposition group.

Ireland Not Afraid

to Hold Supremacy Declares Dail Head

(By Associated Press) DUBLIN. Sept. 12. William Cos-

grave, president of the Dail Eireann, addressing parliament said that if

those holding up arms against the

Irish government thought the govern-

men was afraid to rYiintain its su

premacy they were badly mistaken.

If members of the government fail

ed, others would replace them. The

government , was willing to have , a

peaceful understanding with those now in arms, but it must be on the government's basis. The government

wanted peace with England and would

tolerate no breach in the treaty.

Peace must be a constitutional one:

there must be no armed bodies without the sanction of parliament, and

parliament must control all arms.

Insist on Rights. "We insist upon the people's rights,"

he said. "We are the custodians of the people's rights and we shall not

hesitate to protect them. We are willing to have a peaceful understanding

with those In arms but it must be a

definite peace.

vve want peace with Ensland on

the terms of th4 treaty and will not

tolerate armed interference with that

peace. Apart from the question of the

nation's honor, we are satisfied we stand to lose incomparable less from any internal opposition than from any reconquest by a Great Britain." Mr. Cosgrave paid a tribute to the late Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins. He described them as "the

.mighty dead, who are sleeping the

sleep of immortals," and added: "They have earned the rest which they denied themselves in life."

. (By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Sept. 12. A basis for

settlement of the strike of rail shop

men was considered today by the gen

eral policy committee of the shop

crafts, B. M. Jewell, head of the rail

employes' department of the Ameri

can Federation of Labor, announced at

the conclusion of the morning session

Jewell's brief statement was the

first public acknowledgment that

strike settlement basis had been pre

sented to the policy committee, not

withstanding many rumors and re-i ports concerning settlement plans. He, however, would give no indications what .the plan was and asked that speculation concerning it be dropped in order not to interfere with the committee's discussion.

Leaders Optimistic Mr. Jewell and other union leaders

appeared optimistic and many of them were smiling when they left the con

ference room at noon after a two hour

session.

The meeting has adjourned for

lunch to meet at 1 p. m., to continue

consideration of the strike and a proposed basis for settlement, which has

been presented," was all that Mr.

Jewell would announce.

Other union officials were eaually

cheery of manner and equally secretive, although some of them said they expected a decision later this afternoon. Mr. Jewell earlier in the day said he thought a decision probably

would be reached by 5 or 6 p. m. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. Advices

received here today by officials in close touch with the rail strike situation said that the basis of settlement

under consideration at the meeting in

Chicago of the general policy commit

tee of shopcrafts embodied proposals worked out by B. M. Jewell, head of the striking shop workers and Daniel Willard. president of the B. and O. railroad.

The information received by officials

was that decision as to acceptance of

tne proposals depended largely upon

the number of roads ready to agree to

tne proposition.

Report Provisions

Officials said it was indicated that

between 50 and 75 roads were inclined

to favor the settlement plan under consideration.

The proposals were understood here

to involve the return to work of all

strikers, men now employed in shops

to he retained, and fundamental ques

tions of dispute to be arbitrated by a

committee representing the railroads

and the unions. Seniority was said not to have been mentioned in the settle

ment plan.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12. "Ganna

must not sing." That is the ultimatum

of Madame Luella Melius, opera star, whieh threatens to turn the love har

mony of Ganna Walska and Harold F.

McCormick into screeching discord.

And to back up her ultimatum Ma

dame Melius declares that she will

seek an injunction restraining the bride of the harvester king from appearing on the concert stage or in grand opera in the United States.

Jealousy? Oh, no! Not in the least.

Opera stars aren't that way even though Mary Garden once said, "Gan

pearance in the title role of "Zaza with the Chicago Grand Opera company. Incidentally Ganna packed up and shook the dust of Chicago from her temperamental tootsies just before she was scheduled to appear.

GERMANY INITIATES STEPS TO FORESTALL

NEGOTIATION BREAK

By JOHN DGGAXIIT (United Press Correspondent)

Paris, Sept 12. Belgium today sent an ultimatum to Germany demanding payment of 100,000,000 gold marks in six months bonds with cash security

deposited in Belgian banks.

The penalty is to be that Belgium

will report Germany to the repara

tions commission for punitive action

(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Sept. 12 In sending Dr.

Fischer and Karl Bergmann to Paris

again, with instructions to hold them

selves at the disposition of the reparations commission, Germany has ini

tiated steps calculated . to forestal

definite breaking off of the negotiations begun last week with MM. Be-

melmans and Delacroix, the Belgian

representatives.

Rejection of the German proposal

for prolongation of the term of issue of

the treasury notes to be handed over to Belgium It Is believed in official

quarters would be tantamount to a de

mand for the Reichsbank's gold as

security. But the Germans are equal ly certain that France would be willing to dispense with such an alterna

tive in the present situation. They believe that inasmuch as the payments under discussion wholly concern Belgium, the French attitude in connection with the surrender of the German gold reserve will not assert itself at this time. The impression also prevails among the German officials who participated In the discussions with MM. Bemelmans and Delacroix that the latter personally were not opposed to acceptance of the proposal of Dr. Hermes, German minister of finance, to extend the maturity period of the notes. -

CINCINNATI, Sept. 12. Abandon

ment of nearly a score of trains of the Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis railroad, affective tomorrow, was announced here last night. Elimination of these trains was for the purpose of conserving equipment and motive power to facilitate the movement of coal, H. A. Worcester, vice-presi

dent of the road, who was in St. Louis, stated in a telegram to Cincinnati officials of the company. Among the trains to be taken off are four on the Michigan division, four on the Peoria division and four on the Cincinnati Northern.

ENGLAND WILL BEGIN INTEREST PAYMENTS BEFORE DEBT FINDING (By Afsociatsd Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept 12. Great

Britain probably will begin the pay

ment of interest on her war debt to this country before arrangements are

made for the funding of the $5,000,000 j of obligations it was . indicated today j at the treasury. " On Oct. 15, officials declared the first installment of interest on the British amounting to $65,000,000 falls due, and although a British financial mission has been expected to leave England in time to begin funding negotiations with the American debt commission by the latter part of this month, so far this country has not been notified of its impending departure. With September nearly half gone officials expressed the belief that

funding arrangements could not be worksd out with Great Brijain before the latter part of October. The view, however, was expressed at the treasury that Great Britain would meet the Oct. 15 installment of interest making payment through New York bankers as the Pittman-Silver debt is being liquidated and that by Nov. 15. when about $35,000,0CO or the

remainder of the semi-annual install

ment of interest falls due the pro

gram for England meeting its wartime obligations to this country will have been completed.

AMUNDSEN BEGINS DARING POLE FLIGHT

FROM NORTH ALASKA

(By Associated Press)

COPENHAGEN. Sept 12. It is generally believed here that Captain

Roald Amundsen, Norwegian explorer,

has already undertaken his daring

night to th North pole, from northern Alaska. This belief is strengthened

by the fact that the Norwegian govern

ment has asked the well- known Dan

ish explorer. Captain Cottfried.. Han

sen, to undertake a relief expedition.

Captain Hansen, who is busy work

ing out a scheme for the exploration

of western Greenland next spring, is unable to accede to the request, but in

an interview, emphasizes the neces

sity of sending urgent relief expedi

tion to pick up Amundsen, whose air

plane crossing in his opinion is ex

traordmanly dangerous, it being vir

tually impossible to land anywhere on the rough polar ice without serious

accident. May Reach Depot

He believes Amundsen is apt to land in the vicinity of one of the food

depots which Hansen established in Grant's Land and Northernmost Green

land; but nevertheless fears he will

be unable to reach Thule the northernmost colony in Greenland should he meet with the least accident It is reported that a relief expedition headed by an explorer friend of Cao-

tain Hansen will leave here October

1, on the steamship Hans Egede.

Advices from Nome, Alaska, on Aug.

29, to the Associated Press, were that Captain Amundsen had definitely abandoned for this year, his plan to fly over the pole, believing the season

was too far advanced to permit of success. He was said to have landed

his plane and equipment at Wain-

wright, 100 miles southwest of Point Barrow, intending to make that place

the base for his flight

Ice conditions in the Arctic, off the

northern Alaskan coast were declared to be the worst in many years. Captain Amundsen's ship, the Maude, was last reported to be frozen in the ice

near Wrangell Island.

DAVID GEE CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER

CORONER TO REPORT

FIRE CAPTAIN KILLED, 17 HURT IN BLAST

(By Associated Press) BALTIMORE. Md., Sept. 12. Fire Captain George Lentz was killed and 17 other firemen suffered burns and cuts and possibly more serious injuries as the result of an explosion while they were fighting flames that broke out early today in the umbrella store and manufactory of William Beehler, Inc., - 222 West Lexington street, in the heart of the business district Captain Lentz fell from the roof of the building. Fire officials said. that a back draft caused the explosion. The blaze was confined to the Beehler building and

more damage. was done to adjoining shops by smoke and water. Mr. Beeh

ler estimated his loss at around $50,000, covered by insurance.

Charges of involuntary manslaugh

ter were filed in circuit court Tuesday afternoon against David Gee, now held

in the city jail. The charges grew

out of the death of Thomas D. Clark,

following injuries received in combat

with Gee on Labor day.

The charge filed against Gee al

leges that he "unlawfully, feloniously

and in a rude, insolent and angry manner, but involuntarily, ad without malice, killed Thomas D. Clark, by striking, beating and injuring him with his fist, thereby causing said Thomas D. Clark to fall on the brick pavement,

stnking his head. The date of Gee's arraignment on this charge is not yet known. Prosecutor Beckett was unable to make a definite statement Tuesday. Injured In Fight The injuries from which Clark died were received in a fight in which the two men were engaged on Labor day. Gee, who is colored, had engaged in argument with Clark, and struck him on the side of the head. The blow unbalanced Clark who fell to the ground, striking his head on the paving. He remained unconscious until Sunday, when he died at the Reid Memorial hospital. Examination by the coroner Monday showed not only concussion of the brain, but apoplexy as well. For this reason, officials did not immediately file charges against Gee. The coroner's report had not been filed late Tuesday.

JUDGE DELAYS

PETITION TO MODIFY WRIT

Defers Hearing on Motion of

Attorneys for Rail Strike Leaders Pending Government Testimony.

CHARGE LAWLESSNESS

By Associated Press) CHICAGO. Sept 12. Judge James H. Wilkerson today deferred hearing on a motion of attorneys for the rail strike leaders for modification of the temporary restraining order pending completion of the government's efforts to show that the dominant purpose of the alleged conspiracy is the destruction of interstate commerce. Citing supreme court decisions in the Coronado coal case, retail lumber dealers' case, and the Patton cotton comer case. Judge Wilkerson said questions raised by the government's allegations was a vital one and should be settled before the request for modification of the present order can be

acted upon.

Denied Dismissal In extending the injunction, Judgs

Wilkerson did not attempt to pass on any merits of the contentions of eith

er government or defense attorneys beyond temporarily denying the defense motion to dismiss the proceedings. -

When the second day of the hearing

began Attorney General Daugherty made no suggestion or recommenda

tion for modification of the original bill, despite his statement at Washington last week that it was not the purpose of the government to curb

constitutional rights or restrict free speech, free press, or peaceful assemblage.

Mr. Daugherty took no active part

in the proceedings during the preliminary stage, but sat at the government

table surrounded by his aids, the heaviest battery of counsel the government has ever thrown into a court action of this kind. Through tha early stage of

the hearing Blackburn Esterline, as

sistant to the solicitor general, acted as spokesman for the government

forces.

Sought Modification. With the temporary order extended

ajter losing the motion to dismiss the

entire proceedings, Donald R. Richberg. attorney for B. M. Jewell, bead

of the railway employes department of

the American Federation of Labor and John Scott secretary of the organization served notice that his next move

woud be for prompt modification of the injunction.

Mr. Richberg explained that he and

Frank L. Mulholland of Toledo, Ohio,

were representing Mr. Jewell and Mr.

Scott personally.

Although the early part of the hear

ing was given over to Mr. Richberg for his attack on the attorney general and the injunction the government got in with some of its sensational charges

of murder, sabotage, terrorism and

other forms of lawlessness.

A statement by the attorney gener

al's staff disclosed the nature of ths government's testimony and evidence.

Cites Depredations "Since the commencement of the

present railroad strike acts of depreda

tion had been committed in practically every state and judicial district in

the United States," the statement said.

"The efforts of the perpetrators are concentrated upon two ends destruction and intimidation. The means to attain these ends are almost indescribable. In fact one must believe that anything suggested to the imagination of the vandals or their conspirators was immediately put into effect "The venom of the participants in this strike has not ceased with ordinary assaults, bombing, dynamiting, wrecking of trains, or minor depredations, but has been. In many instances satisfied only with the taking of human life." Here the statement enumerated reports of 25 murders and other fatalities attributed to strike causes. It also pointed out the suffering and inconvenience of passengers stranded In the deserts of California and Arizona when train crews quit and declared that 5,500 deputy United States marshals had been assigned to th3 protection of Interstate commerce and the mails. Trains Discontinued. Mail trains discontinued as a result of the strike, were set down as approximately 950 and the damage to California fruit growers alone through transportation tie ups was estimated at $75,000,000. "Dynamiting, bombing, setting fire to railroad property and bridges are a few of the most dangerous means adopted against the railroads," the statement continued. "It would be almost Impossible to enumerate the various assaults which have been perpetrated." Commenting on the impeachment resolution against him offered by Rep

resentative Keller, Minnesota), Attorney General Daugherty said Mr. Keller "has a grievance based on the fact that he could not control the department of justice in a case he was personally interested in." Meanwhile as the Injunction proceedings continued in Judge Wilkerson's court, Mr. Jewell with his policy committee of 90 resumed their conference in a downtown building. Neither Mr. Jewell nor members of the shop crafts executive council would discuss what had transpired in their meeting.
