INDIA SECRETARY Official Quits Post in Midst of Discussion Which Has - Stirred England. By the Associated Preas. LONDON, March 9.—Edwin Samuel Montagu, the secretary for India. ten- dered his resignation today and it was accepted. The resignation was announced in the house of commons by Austen Chamberlain, the government leader, who assigned no reason for the sec- retary’'s action. Before making the announcement, Mr. Chamberlain said he understood the telegram he sent to Secretary Montagu from the government of India, setting forth the feeling in India regarding the necessity for re- vision of the treaty of Sevres be- tween Turkey and the allies, was made public by the Indian govern- ment with only Mr. Montagu’s sanc- tion, no other minister having been consulted regarding fit.

Each detail of the ship's plight, each call for ald, was supplemented by the Jjesting comment of the radio man, whose identity is still unknown. He talked as If he were going on a lark in port, instead of, to the bottom of | forty minutes later. the sea. His last message, a disjointed one, was a series of witticisms—with death as the butt of the joke. , Hit by 110-Mile Gale. The Estonia, herself hit in the 110- mile "gale, made a valiant but un- successful effort to reagh the Gron- toft, which first sent out'calls for aid at 10 o'clock last Thursday morning. reporting her position as _about 700 miles east of Cape Race. The Estonia at that time was forty-eight miles west of the disabled Norwegian and | steaming in an opposite direction. Capt. Hans Jorgenson ordered his ship about and she steamed slowly toward the Gtomtoft. Meanwhile radio operator Hansen engaged the operator of the Grontoft in conversation. The latter sent out first the following—a sterotyped irony o S he sea “God pity the poor sailors on a night like this.” ~ Then followed a series of “ha, h: M’HENRY’S'MOTHER THANKS WOMEN FOR AID 9.—The grim| | | I Orleans and Norfolk, was en route i | “And, sa; he continusd, “the old man thinks this calm will be over by nightfall.

Mrs. Mary Rice, mother of John Me- enry, under sentence of death at the District jail, dropped in toward the close of the rcgular meeting of the Anthony League yesterday afternoon at 2007 Columbia road. The league is working for the abolishment of capi- tal punishment and will soon present a bill to Congress to that effect. The meeting was carried out accord- | ing to a prearranged program, and, following the reading of a poem writ-! ten by & prisoner at the District jail, : and which contained an argument |against the gallows and clectric chair, Mrs. Rice entered the room where the meeting was held. During the read- ing of the poem. Mrs. Rice was in an adjoining _room, according to Mrs. Anna E. Hendley. president of the league, who presided. In reply to a request for a talk to the meeting, Mrs. Rice said she could say nothing but thank them for all they had done in attempting to save her son's death sentence from being carrfed out. At the conclusion of the meeting Mrs. Rice had tea with the members and then went to the White House with Mrs. Collison, a member of the Anthony and Pen Women's leagues, in an effort to see Mrs, Harding. When they reached the executive home, however, the President and Mrs. Harding had departed for Florida. Mrs. J. E. Lamble of New York gave an illustrated lecture on Mount Ever- est at the opening of the meeting. Mrs. Lamble is said to be the only woman who has climbed a part of the mountain. She made the expedition as a tourist and contributed her ex- periences to several of the leading magazines of the country. Following Mrs. Lambie's lecture, Mrs. M. D. Duvall, matron at the Dis- trict jail and a member of the league, gave a vivid description of human touch with the prisoners. She like- wise praised the work of Mrs. Eve- Iyn C. Widney, chairman of the prison reform committee of the league, who has devoted practically all her time to welfare work among the prisoners. Mrs. Hendley, president and founder of the league, and who has given the last ten years of her service to the work of the organization, appealed to the members to exert all possible influence on Congress'to vote in favor of abolition of capital punishment. She emphasized that the league's ac- tivities are not confined to securing the commutation of a death-cell in- mate for any personal reasons, but are devoted to urging change of all death sentences to life imprisonment. Mrs. Hendley about two months ago headed a delégation from the league and other clvic organizations which called on Presldent Harding and urged his sanction and approval of their proposed bill. It is sald that the President did not promise the dele- gation anything one way or the other. CROWDS SEE STAR CAR.

Speclal Dispatch to The Star. STAUNTON, V March 9.—High- land county, the mountain county be- tween Augusta and the West Vir: ginia line, unserved by railroads since time immemorial, is strongly in favor of the proposed bond issue for roads, now being put forth in Vir- ginia with the indorsement of Gov. K. Lee Trinkle. The board of supervisors of High- land has sent a telegram to the High- Jand representatives in the state legislature, urging support of the measure. This was followed by a pe- tition carrying the names of mnearly one hundred signers. Quite different is the sentiment in the Samgersville section of Augusta county, where good roads abound with some very bad ones also in places. The Hill Top Community League of that place has met amd drafted resolutions opposed to the is- suance of bonds to the extent of $12.- 000,000, a5 proposed, and has for- warded them to Senator F. Percy Loth at Richmond, urging that he use every effort possible to defeat passage of the bill. v —_— PLANS TO END STRIKE. By the Associated Press.

[ONINELEABERS [President of lllinois District Will Seek Separate Wage Agreement. By the Axsociated Press. ST. LOUIS, March 8.—Fr: Fars {rington, president of the Illinois dis-: trict, United Mine Workers of Amer- ica, today reasserted he would nego- tiate a separate wage agreement with | Illinois operators, unless the interna- tional organization called an inter- state conference with operators of the central competitive field, com- prising four states. Mr. Farrington added, however that this was con- tingent on any action President H'«.rdmg_ may take, to avert the pro- Dosed miners’ strike April 1. The sting of this ultimatum was | tach ren the Illinois president announced that he expected both sides would be call- ed to Washington before the date set in his message, March 31, and that the future really rests in the hands of President Harding and his cabinet. 1 W. K. Kavanaugh, chairman of the operators’ association of the fifth and ninth Illinois districts, was less hopeful of averting a shutdown than the unfon chief. Regardless of what happens, Mr. Kavanaug!: said, 11linois mines were bLound to be idle for a month or more while new wage agreements were negotiated. Differences between the interna- tional board and the Tilinois leader are the result'of Farrington's insist- ence on entering into separate nego- tiations with the operators of his ' state, in accordance with a clause | in their state wage contract, if the operators in the other states of the central field refuse to abide by an ' agreement for a joint conference. Union leaders declined to discuss other business transacted at the meeting of the Illlinois executive board. discussing the {international executive board's ilnterpretation of his telegram, Farrington declared he had no control over the board's in- terpretation, but said that the con- tents of the telegram were self-ex- planatory. He made this statement after being informed that the inter- national board at Indlanapolis had conetrued his telegram to mean there would be no &eparate wage agree- ent of the lllinois mine workers without the consent of the interna- tional policy committee.
