Audiences will decide for themselves upon the merits of the issue without vote, each individual to follow his own secret conscience. Acceptance of this invitation at an early date, with a probable list of speakers on each side at each meeting, time to be evenly divided, with the affirmative to have the opening and the close. Yours truly. hahky i:. ohubi:. Democratic Chairman. Democratic County Chairman Harry H. Grubo yesterday sent to Republican County Chairman Klein an invitation for local republicans to meet local democrats in a series of debates on the League of Nations at the school houses of the city. Chairman Grubo puts it in the form of an invitation rather than a challenge, and offers to provide the halls, by devoting ward school auditoriums secured for democratic meetings to the purpose. "1 can svo no reason why the republicans. If they have faith in their cause, will not meet us on this basis," said Chairman Grube yesterday. "The purpose is purely education;.!. We want the people to hear the arguments on both sides.

EXPECT CARUSO JEWELS BACK AS THIEF IS NABBED Half Million Dollar Robbery in Tenor's Summer Home Solved. NEW YORK. Oct. 16. Harn' C. Toback, a salesman of Brooklyn, was arrested here tonight, charged with having committed the half million dollar jewel theft from th home of Enrico Caruso, which aroused world wide interest several months ago. According to the police, Toback had admitted possession of some of the stolen gems, the original disappearance of which from the; Metropolitan opera tenor's country home at Easthampton, Long Island, caused suspicion to be thrown on George Fitzgerald, Caruso's chauffer who was arrested but later released for lack of evide nce. The arrest, detectives declared after Toback had Wen booked at Tombs prison., was the result of a carefully laid trap. Besides city police operatives of a private detective agency, attaches ef the district attorney's edfice and two sisters, Mrs. Catherine Smith and Charlotte Pollion, also assisted in the Capture. L la text Out Arrest. Officials at headquarters were elated over the arrest, predicting that they were about to raise the curtain mystery which thus far has shrouded the disappearance of the jew els. Under the name of the Polion sisters. Charlotte and Catherine Smith gaineel international reputations during the second year of the European war when they were instrumental in effecting tho arrest of Raymond Rolfe Swoboda, ostensibly a Frenchman, who was accused of being in the pay of Germany and of having set fire to tho liner La Tcuraine. Swoboda, during days of intimacy with the sisters, had lived in their Riverside drive apartment but later won their enmity when tho women tie-came suspicious of him. Voluminous correspondence between Swoboda and Charlotte when the two were on good terms was made public after his arrest in France. Police authorities give full credit to Toback's apprehension to the Poillon sisters in whose apartment the suspect was taken at the point of a revolver by Detective Henry J. j Porter He protested innocence denying all knowledge of the Caruso t ri'Ooery inougn nie women ies;i;icu he had t( Id them a different story when he tried to sll them valuable Jewels-.

An attack on the Esch-Cummins transportation bill was made here tonUht by William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury and elirector general vl railroads, who quote el Sen. Harding as soy in? the republican party candidates considered it as a progressive and constructive measure. Mr. McAdoo declared that the bill was not a progressive measure but "a regressive measure of the most pronounced sort." "Tho Esch-Cummins bill." explained Mr. McAdoo, "ordered the railroads returned to their owners March 1, 1920, guaranteed the. companies against operation losses for six months, while allowing them entire control of expenditures and gave them in addition a 'rental' for six months of $ 4 !'. 5 1 Ö.5S6, although the government was no longer rentign or running the railroads. Iss Llutaileel. "For the six months ended August 111, 192 0. (August estimated), the private operators m.ndo a loss of HS-'.l J4,7r0. The tax payers of the United States are. therefore, required by the Esch-Cummins bill to pay this loss, plus the rental of $45 2,517,05, or a total for the six months of 634. 652, ?53. This gift from the federal treasury is the first 'blessing the 'progressive EschCummins bill' has conferred upon the public. "The princely gift of jr::4.r,2,nT3 m:ide by the Esch-Cummins bill, to be paid out of the United States tr-a.-ury to bond holders and stockholders of the railroads is indefensible. It was made without any consideration whatever to the public. Pncrevsive? "In thi.t connection let me cite a striking instance of ono of the effects produced by Sen. Harding's 'progressive and constructive' RschCummins milroad bill: "One ef the most prosperous railroads in the United States, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, is participating in this princely gilt, and yet, on September 16. 1920, it hied with the interstate com nie reo commission at Washington a petition for authority to '.sue a Rtlor.al stock to th full amount of its surplus Sf'OOO.ooO and to distribute it ns a 200 per cent ptock dividend to its share holders.

I .nnninr MILLION MEN AFFECTED BY COAL STRIKE! Great Britain Faces Greatest j Industrial Upheaval in Historv. LONDON. Oct. 16. With a million miners out of the pits tonight, thousands of deck and port workers already cut of employment as a consequence and the transport workers and railroad men called to meet soon to discuss a sympathetic strike, Great Rritain faces one of the greatest industrial upheavals in its history, in the opinion e-f labor and political leaders who elisxussed the situation today. Reports from all industrial leaders tonight are not reassuring, while port efticials say the t shipping will be tied up within a week. The mest hopeful message came from Sheffield, where, it is believed, there is enough coal to last tnree weeks. In other centers one week's supply js the limit. Confirm Statement. The statement that tho men struck against the advice of most of their leaders, was confirmed to some extent by the attitude of many who left the pits. They said they did not understand that voting against the "datum line" meant a strike, and it Js clear that a great many minunderstood the "unfortunate phrase" as J. R. Thomas, general secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen called it in a speech. Mr. Thomas admonished the railroaders to listen to the advice of their leaders, which weuld be given after the meeting of t lie delegates Wednesday. A different note was struck, however, by the South Wales branch of tho miners' federation, which called a meeting for ne xt Friday to recommended that if the strike was not settled by Octoreer 30 tho pump men and other employes remaining at work should be called out. Pari Li men t to Meet. It is Indicated tonight that Premier Lloyd-George will take no hand in the matter before Tuesday, when parliament meets and undoubtedly will discuss the situation. No disturbances are reported and no troops have been sent to the mining centers but they are held in readiness. London's few electric signs and window displays are elark tonight by order of the coal controller, and the races, for which special trains are unually operated, have been canCelled for next week. Notwithstanding the food ministry's asuranc? that there will be plenty of food -von though the strike lasts seme time. London provisioners report that housewives are laying in supplies. The sugar ration will be out 50 percent Monday. OPERATORS PREDICT ANOTHER DECLINE IK BITUMINOUS PRICES NRW YORK, Oct. 16. Prediction that the recer.t decline in the price of bituminous coal is to be followed by a "much more decided drop within ashort time," was made here tonight by Charles S. Allen, secretary of the Wholesale Coal Trade associ dicn of New York. Mr. Allen said that his statement i was '"based upon a consensus of opir.'on of memh rs of that assoc'ation" which he added was due to the action this week of Attorney General Palmer in calling upon the coal operators to take steps to "reduc.; prices ard eliminate profiteering." Making public a teb-ram sent by Attorney Palmer to the coal operators of northern West Virginia, urging them to use their influence in other elistricts te. reduce prices and thus "lighten the work of the department f justice by reducing thenumber of p i secutior.s to be i .-.. tituted for vieda.ion of the Lever act in charging ur. reasonable prices."
