SPRINGFIELD. 111., Oct. 3. Broad ening of the powers of the war finance corporation had caused a feeling of re newed confidence to sweep the country. Secretary Wallace, of the department of agriculture, declared today in outlining before a meeting of farmers and business men the obstacles which stood in the path of agricultural development before the corporation was revived and the federal reserve act amended. Money became easier to obtain, he declared, adding that a more liberal policy on farm loans was generally adopted; the sacrificing of grain and livestock was checked and the hope of the farmers was renewed. The story of the service rendered by this agency, Mr. Wallace continued, "serves to illustrate the importance of

PROSPERITY RESTS WITH REMOVAL OF CURBS ON BUSINESS, SAYS BEVERIDGE AT COLUMBUS

Albert J. Beveridge, Republican candidate for senator from Indiana, is delighted with the reception he has received In various parts of the state during the first week of his campaign. ... "I have had wonderful meetings everywhere I have appeared," he said to a reporter while in Richmond Tuesday morning, while enroute to Columbus, O., where he was to open the Republican campaign in Ohio in the afternoon with an address. Mr. Beveridge said he had no state ment to make concerning the political situation in Indiana but he made no effort to conceal his gratification over the large crowds which have greeted him in Indiana since he began active campaigning. Lectures Tonight Mr. Beveridga is opening the Ohio Republican campaign on the direct re quest of President Harding, it is said. He expects to return to Indianapolis Tuesday evening. 'The remainder of the campaign he wil spend in Indiana, according to present plans. On the evening of October 12 Mr. Bevendge is scheduled to address a mass meeting of sixth district Repub licans in Richmond, at the coliseum. COLUMBUS. Ohio, Oct. 3. Removal or the restrictions oirtusiness, inher ited' from the Wilson regime, is the ! big question now' before the country and involves the . issue whether ths whole American economic system shall be "developed or revolutionized," saM Albert J. Beveridge, the Republican nominee for United States senate from Indiana, in a speech here opening the campaign in Ohio. Business was defined by Mr. Beveridge as covering all industrial and commercial activities of all the people. Prosperity rests with the removal of these restrictions on business, said Mr. Beveridge, pointing out that the conflict in the theories regarding the government's relation to business centered on whether the governmental policy should be one of regulation or of interference. He cited the Wilsonian national tax system, and the operation of railroads, under the policies of the Wilson regime, to show the effects ot the policy of interference, which, he said, opposed the fundamental American policy under which the country RACE RIOT FOLLOWS SLAYING OF ALABAMA POLICEMAN BY NEGRO MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct 3.

Two negro men and two negro women reported to have been with Terrell when Wilson was shot are being held as witnesses. Mob Dispersed Three companies of national guards men were ordered to the jail when the mob began increasing in number last night and later the first depart ment was called upon to disperse the crowd by using the fire hose. The jail was peppered with bullets, but the soldiers did not return the fire of the mob. John Brown, a negro railroad fireman was reported to have been lynched but early today it was learned that he had been removed from his home by a masked party at midnight and questioned about the escape of Jim Glenn, the negro wanted in connection with the killing of the police. Brown told the party he knew nothing of the escape and his story was substantiated by several white men. He was released. The mob dispersed shortly after midnight and military officials reported no further trouble was expected. Skois From Ram Chaser Fails To Stop Liquor Ship NEW YORK, Oct. 3.

Mr. Beveridge said, adding that the work was yet incomplete, and in this connection he laid down a program for the future. Mr. Beveridge's appearance here to open the Ohio campaign was at President Harding's personal request, a fact which the Indiana statesman said he regarded as "an especial honor." The president's request was sent to Mr. Beveridge at the suggestion of Re publican leaders in Ohio, indicating that Mr. Beveridge is regarded as 9national figure. Mr. Beveridge's own regard for the president also was expressed in his speech when he said that "by the difficulties overcome, (Please Turn to Page Sixteen) GRAIN TRADE URGED TO AID ENFORCEMENT OF FUTURES MEASURE NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 3. Full co-operation of the gTain trade with officials of the department of agriculture in the administration of the grain futures act was urged by Dr. H. C. Taylor, chief of the bureau of agricultural economic, in an address today at the annual meeting of the Grain Dealers' National association. The department is as much interested. Dr. Taylor said, in seeing that the legitimate handler of grain receives a fair price for his services as it is in edu cating the farmer to market his product to the best advantage of himself and the national welfare. The attitude of the department toward marketing and the county agent system was touched upon by Dr. Taylor, who explained that "it is not the policy of the department to participate in the organization or operation of co-operative or corporate market undertakings, but simply to collect and disseminate information which may be useful to any one interested in mar keting farm products. Broad View Taken The reason, Dr. Taylor explained further "for placing the administra tion laws looking to the regulation of the cotton trade, the meat trade and the grain trade in the department of agriculture is the broad economic point of view taken by this department. "WTiile the department is interested in agriculture," he added, "it is also interested in those industries and services which are essential to the dis tribution of farm products. The grain trade has reason to look with satis faction upon the passing of the grain futures act for had this act not been passed, bringing with it the reassur ance of the people that the gram trade would be operated in the public interest, there is every probability that destructive legislation might have been enacted UNCLE JOE CANNON TO GO THROUGH GITY ON AUTOMOBILE TRIP President Edwards of Earlham college will telegraph Uncle Joe Cannon tonight to stop over in Richmond several hours Friday on his way west in an automobile.

MINE PARLEY

ASKED TO AID APPOINTMENTS Wire From Hoover and Davis Requesting Submission of Panel of 20 Names for Committee Before Body. DIFFERENCES DEVELOP (By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Oct 3. A telegram irom Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, and James L. Davis, secretary of labor, requesting submission of a panel of 20 names of Dersons dis associated with coal mining, for use in the creation of a fact-finding committee of the coal industry, provided under the Borah-Winslow bill, was in tne hands of T. K. Maher. of Cleve land, temporary chairman, at the sec ond joint session of the bituminou miners-operators' conference here to day. The request for the naming of such a panel was rejected by the operators at a caucus yesterday, the operators explaining their action by saying they believed they were required under the Cleveland agreement, which practically settled the soft coal strike last August, to appoint a committee of men connected with the coal mining industry and that compliance with the request of the federal government would abrogate the Cleveland agreement Differences Develop. John L.- Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, in a statement declared that "the miners were standing pat on the Cleveland agreement and all of its provisions" which include the appointment of an investigating commission.

The United States government has expressed the sentiment of the American people regarding the Near East situation and will continue to express it by appro priate action, but will not ne drawn into a Near East war.Tbis is the. clearly defined position of this government as set forth by Secretary of State Hughes in an exchange of . cablegrams with BishoD James Cannon, who on reaching Paris from Constantinople, cabled the department that the United States should use force if need be 'to 'prevent the killing ot Near East Christians. Secretary Hughes' reply to Bishop Cannon contained a clear notice that this government will refuse to be embroiled in an European quarrel but will at the same time perform its humanitarian duty, as always. Points To Responsibility. Bishop Cannon, in his cablegram, declared he believed "Almighty God will hold the United States responsible for inaction while thousands were murdered and deported, and for failing to protect them against the defiant, heartless and brutal Kemalist announcement that all refugees not evacuated by Saturday, Sept. 13, would be deported when deportation means thousands more will be added to the dead." The bishop said he had been misquoted in regard to an earlier statement which gave the impression that he expected armed intervention by the United States. He did not expect such action, Bishop Cannon said. In reply to the bishop's criticism, Secretary Hughes last night sent this cablegram. Aiding Refugees. "In the present situation which has resulted from the clash of arms, the defeat of the Greek forces, the incidents of the retreat and the reprisals effected, not only have we done all that is possible for relief and in aid of the refugees, but we have exerted in appropriate manner our influence against all acts of cruelty and oppres sion. "On Sept 8, before the burning of Smyrna the American-high commissioner at Constantinople voiced this country's feeling in earnestly impressing upon the Turkish authorities the importance of taking the most energetic steps to insure the population of the occupied territories against reprisals. Instructions have been sent to emphasize the importance of im mediate peaceful settlement in the interest of humanity. Join In Inquiry. "You will also recall that in June last we agreed to join in an inquiry wnicn we nopeo would place re sponsibility and prevent the recurrence of atrocities. "Keenly alive to every humanitarian interest involved this government has not failed in any way to make the sentiment of American people understood and to take every appropriate action. "As you are probably aware, the executive has no authority to go beyond this and there has been no action by congress which would justify this government in an attempt by armed forces to pacify the Near East or . to engage in acts of war in order to accomplish the results you desire with respect to the inhabitants of that territory and to determine the problems which have vexed Europe for generations."

A picture of America, recovering from the "rude "buffets and deep wounds" of 1917 to 1921 and "with characteristic courage, binding up her bruises and slowly moving forward to new goals' was drawn today by Thomas W. Lamont associate of J. P. Morgan, in an address before 10,000 delegates at the convention of the American Bankers association. "But we have not yet cause for unbounded confidence," he cautioned the bankers. "We must not forget that before the race is won we still have some high hurdles to jump." Points made by Lamont in bis speech included: 1. America has passed through a cycle of flattening of prices "with business on its back" and now busi ness "has bound up its bruises and is slowly moving on to a new goal." . Crops Are .Good 2. Business still has some hurdles to jump including low prices prevailing for farm products, but "I never knew any country to go broke because of its abundant crops, so even though our . farmers suffer disappointment. I think the low price hurdle is the easiest one to jump." S. With regard to labor, enmlovers have a responsibility to "study more fully that we do today the conditions of labor, and be sure that by and large, every competent worker has an in (Please Turn to Page Nineteen) RICHMOND FT.

Highway No. 21 is one of the most important north-and-south roads in the state and the greater part of the traffic to Michigan and northeastern Indiana points from east central Indiana and southwestern Ohio goes over it.

According to last reports, the allied commission will be at Mudania for the conference.

These are the two most important questions to be discussed at the conference: . l.- The evacuation of the neutral zone in the area near Chanak on the Dardanelles and Ismid, near the straits

It was believed that General Harington will attempt to induce the Turks to move back in the Chanak area to i greater distance than they have done since Kemal calleu the conference. Thrace is the most difficult issue to be discussed at the parley, in bis demands. Kemal stated tkat rt was necessary for the Turks to occupy that territory as far as the Mar'tza. rive"to prevent massacres by the Greeks.
